NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1)           Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.  In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to make the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 26, 2011.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period’s presentation.

(2)           Revenue Recognition

The Company records revenue when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This occurs when products are shipped or the customer accepts title transfer.  If the arrangement involves acceptance terms, the Company defers revenue until product acceptance is received.  On certain large development contracts, revenue is recognized upon achievement of substantive milestones.  Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment and that assessment is performed only at the inception of the arrangement. The consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone must meet all of the following for the milestone to be considered substantive:

 
a.
It is commensurate with either of the following:
   
1.
The Company’s performance to achieve the milestone.
   
2.
The enhancement of the value of the delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the Company’s performance to achieve the milestone.
 
b.
It relates solely to past performance.
 
c.
It is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential
   
milestone consideration) within the arrangement.

Milestones for revenue recognition are agreed upon with the customer prior to the start of the contract and some milestones will be tied to product shipping while others will be tied to design review.

The Company provides for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties at the time of shipment.  The Company’s warranty policy generally provides one to three years depending on the product.  The estimated cost of warranty coverage is based on the Company’s actual historical experience with its current products or similar products.  For new products, the required reserve is based on historical experience of similar products until such time as sufficient historical data has been collected on the new product.  Adjustments are made as new information becomes available.

(3)           Inventories
 
Inventories consist of the following:

(In thousands)
 
June 25, 2011
   
March 26, 2011
 
Raw materials
  $ 3,580     $ 3,518

Finished goods
    269       134  
Demonstration inventory
    480       385  
Total
  $ 5,644     $ 5,386  

(4)           Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued if unvested restricted shares became vested and dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method.  Certain options are considered antidilutive because the options' exercise prices were above the average market price during the period.  The shares used in per share computations are as follows:

 (In thousands except per share data)
 
June 25, 2011
   
June 26, 2010
 
Net (loss) income
  $ (467 )   $ 13,625  
                 
Weighted average:
               
Common shares outstanding
    4,995       4,901  
Potential common shares
    -       99  
Common shares assuming dilution
    4,995       5,000  
                 
Net (loss) earnings per share - basic
  $ (0.09 )   $ 2.78  
Net (loss) earnings per share - diluted
  $ (0.09 )   $ 2.73  
Stock options not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future
    852       644  
Restricted stock awards not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future
    90       60  

The number of stock options not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three month period ended June 25, 2011 is a result of the Company’s loss from continuing operations and, therefore, the options are antidilutive.  The number of stock options not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three month period ended June 26, 2010 reflects stock options where the exercise prices and related assumed proceeds were greater than the average market price of the common shares and are, therefore, antidilutive.  The number of restricted stock awards not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three month periods ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 reflect contingently issuable shares for which the performance conditions necessary for the awards to vest had not been met as of June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010.  The weighted average exercise price of excluded options was $1.93 and $2.13 as of June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 respectively.

(5)            Share Based Compensation

The Company has established the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for the granting of options for up to 1,400,000 shares of Common Stock.  The Company records compensation cost associated with share-based compensation equivalent to the estimated fair value of the awards over the requisite service period.  There were 17,500 options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 135,000 options granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The weighted average grant date fair value was $1.67 and $1.59, respectively.  There were no restricted stock awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 and 60,000 restricted stock awards granted in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The restricted stock awards are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value is known at the grant date and the fair value at the grant date is amortized over the requisite service period net of estimated forfeitures.  The restricted stock awards are performance-based and one-third will vest annually through 2013 only if certain sales and profit goals are achieved by the Company.  No compensation cost was recognized for restricted stock awards during the three months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 because management believes it is not more likely than not that the performance criteria will be met.
 
 
7

 
 
Cash flows resulting from the tax benefits derived from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as cash flows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows.  These excess tax benefits were not significant for the Company for each of the three months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010.
 
In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

Risk-free interest rate
    1.55 %     1.27 %
Expected term (years)
    5.9       4.0  
 
The computation of expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price.  The expected term is estimated based on a review of historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants.  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates with maturity similar to the expected term of the option on the date of grant.
 
A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding for the three month period ended June 25, 2011 and the year ended March 26, 2011 is as follows:

As of June 25, 2011, there was $303,166 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options granted under the plan.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.09 years.  There were 44,375 options that vested during the quarter ended June 25, 2011.  There were 23,750 options that vested during the quarter ended June 26, 2010.  The total fair value of options vested during each of the quarters ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 was $62,692 and $26,457, respectively.  Cash received from the exercise of stock options for the three month period ended June 25, 2011 was $4,691.  Cash received from stock option exercises for the three month period ended June 26, 2010 was $39,356.  Share based compensation cost recognized in operating results for the three months ended June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 totaled $53,820 and $75,769, respectively.
 
(6)           Industry Segment Information

(8)            Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as codified in Topic 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

The Company’s tax benefit for the three months ending June 25, 2011 was $204,000.  The effective tax rate differed from the statutory tax rate primarily as a result of state tax and R&D tax credits.  The Company’s tax benefit for the three months ending June 26, 2010 was 13,569,000 due to the reversal of the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2011.

As of June 25, 2011, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions.  The unrecognized tax benefit is netted against the non-current deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  The Company has not recorded a liability for any penalties or interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits.  The Company is not currently undergoing any audits by the tax authorities and does not expect the liability for unrecognized tax benefits to change materially within the next 12 months.


Item 2  -  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The forward-looking statements included in this report including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", "intends" and words of similar import, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those listed in Giga-tronics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2011 Part I, under the heading “Certain Factors Which May Adversely Affect Future Operations or an Investment in Giga-tronics”, and Part II, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

Overview

Giga-tronics produces instruments, subsystems and sophisticated microwave components that have broad applications in both defense electronics and wireless telecommunications. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company consisted of two operating and reporting segments: Giga-tronics Division and Microsource.

Our business is highly dependent on government spending in the defense electronics sector and on the wireless telecommunications market.  The Company has seen an increase in defense orders for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Commercial orders are slightly down for the quarter ended June 25, 2011 as compared to the quarter ended June 26, 2010.

The Company continues to monitor costs, including reductions in personnel, facilities and other expenses, to more appropriately align costs with revenues.

Backlog at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased 17% as compared to the end of the same period last year.  Even though our orders increased in the first quarter the backlog went down because the period of comparison is over a 12 month period for the backlog and 3 months for the orders entered.

The allocation of net sales was as follows for the periods shown:

Fiscal 2012 first quarter net sales were $3,497,000, a 26% decrease from the $4,701,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  Sales at Giga-tronics Division increased 3% or $78,000 primarily due to an increase in commercial shipments of its products.  Sales at Microsource decreased 54% or $1,282,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus the first quarter of fiscal 2011 largely due to a decrease in military shipments and to a lesser extent a decrease in commercial shipments.

  $ 2,114     $ 1,876       13 %

Operating expenses increased 13% or $238,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 over fiscal 2011 due to an increase of $195,000 in product development expenses, and an increase of $43,000 in selling, general and administrative expense.  The increase in product development expenses is due to a more aggressive investment in our instrument products.

Giga-tronics recorded a net loss of $467,000 or $0.09 per fully diluted share for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus a net profit of $13,625,000 or $2.73 per fully diluted share in the same period last year. A tax benefit of $204,000 was recorded for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 versus a $13,569,000 benefit for income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Deferred Tax Assets

The tax benefit in Q1 FY12 was $204,000 compared to $13,569,000 in Q1 FY11.  The primary reason for the difference was the change in valuation allowance against the Conpany’s deferred tax asset, which was reversed last year.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

As of June 25, 2011, Giga-tronics had $3,592,000 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,408,000 as of March 26, 2011.

Working capital at June 25, 2011 was $12,028,000 compared to $12,462,000 at March 26, 2011.  The decrease in working capital was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable plus a decrease in deferred revenue as a result of shipping finished goods to the customer.

The Company’s current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) at June 25, 2011 was 6.99 compared to 5.61 on March 26, 2011.

Cash provided by operations amounted to $2,245,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 amounted to $215,000.  Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 is primarily attributed to collection of accounts receivable.  Cash provided by operations in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 is primarily attributed to a decrease in rent payments due to credits from the landlord.

Additions to property and equipment were $36,000 in the first quarter of 2012.  There were $76,000 in additions for the same period last year. The capital equipment spending in fiscal 2012 was due to an upgrade of capital equipment enabling the manufacture of new products being released.

On June 15, 2011, the Company obtained a 60-day extension of its secured revolving line of credit for $1,500,000, with interest payable at prime rate plus 1%.  The borrowing capacity under this line of credit is based on the Company’s accounts receivable and is secured by all of the assets of the Company.  The Company was in compliance with all required covenants at June 25, 2011.  At June 25, 2011 and June 26, 2010 there was no balance on the line of credit.
