Note D – Long-term Debt

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility initially extended through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at January 31, 2013) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at January 31, 2013), which is paid monthly. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. In conjunction with the Spitfire acquisition, two of the financial covenants required by terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility were amended as of May 31, 2012. The Company was in violation of certain of its financial covenants at July 31, 2012 and received a waiver for the financial covenant violations. The Company renegotiated its financial covenants during the quarter ended October 31, 2012 with its bank and extended the credit facility through September 30, 2014. At January 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants. As of January 31, 2013, there was a $20,450,869 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $9,549,131 of unused availability.

Note E – Tijuana, MX Operation Move

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company relocated its Tijuana, MX operation to a new facility within Tijuana, MX. The Company incurred a total of approximately $424,000 in relocation expenses as a result of the move as of January 31, 2013, of which, approximately $399,000 of the relocation expenses were included in cost of products sold and consist primarily of moving expenses related to equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the prior Tijuana facility. Of the total relocation expenses, approximately $25,000 was recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Approximately $417,000 of the relocation expenses noted above, were incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The Company does not anticipate any significant additional costs as a result of the move in future periods.

Note F – Acquisition

Spitfire Control, Inc.

The Purchase Agreement

SigmaTron entered into a Purchase Agreement on May 31, 2012 with Spitfire Control, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Seller”), regarding the acquisition of certain assets of the Seller by the Company. Prior to the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Seller and its affiliates were customers and strategic partners of SigmaTron, with such relationships dating back to 1994.

Seller, on its own and through its subsidiaries Digital Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., a Mexico corporation (“DAC”), and Spitfire Controls (Cayman) Co. Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Cayman”), their subsidiaries and Seller’s affiliated entities, was engaged in the business of the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of electrical or electronic controls for appliances (the “Business”).

The Purchase Agreement - Continued

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement on May 31, 2012, SigmaTron acquired on certain “Acquired Assets” from the Seller (the “Transaction”). The Acquired Assets, which are listed in greater detail in the Purchase Agreement, consist of (i) all of the equity securities of DAC and Cayman and (ii) all of the assets used by or useful in the conduct of the Business. In addition to acquiring the Acquired Assets, SigmaTron also obtained an agreement not to compete against the Business as it is operated by the Company after the closing of the Transaction from the Seller.

In exchange for the Acquired Assets, the Company agreed to pay a purchase price consisting of: (i) the satisfaction and release of the account payable of approximately $16,000,000 owed by Seller to the Company; (ii) future payments, which are based upon the annual post-closing performance of the Business during each of the Company’s fiscal years 2013 through 2019; and (iii) the issuance of 50,000 shares of restricted common stock of SigmaTron, 12,500 of which vested upon the closing of the Transaction and 12,500 of which will vest on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing of the Transaction.

In addition to the foregoing, SigmaTron agreed to assume (i) the Seller’s obligations under certain specified contracts and Governmental Authorizations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) specified trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Seller as agreed upon by the parties and (iii) specified inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman and/or their subsidiaries and associated companies. Further, each of DAC and Cayman has retained the liabilities associated with its respective operations, which is customary in transactions involving the purchase or sale of all of the equity securities of an entity. As a result, SigmaTron indirectly acquired such liabilities through the Transaction.

The Credit Amendment

Concurrent with the Transaction, the Company entered into amendments of its credit facility with Wells Fargo (“the Credit Amendment”). The Credit Amendment modified certain financial covenant thresholds applicable to the Company, added property acquired in the Transaction as collateral for the loan to the Company, permitted the Company to acquire certain inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman or the subsidiaries and associated companies and permitted the Company to discharge and release the account payable owed by the Seller to the Company in partial consideration for the Transaction.

Spitfire Control, Inc.

Reasons for the Transaction

The Company believes its acquisition of Spitfire will allow a comprehensive approach to solving major appliance producers’ issues with integrating electronics into their platforms. The acquisition also added two manufacturing operations in locations that the Company believes will augment the Company’s international footprint. In addition, the acquisition of Spitfire will allow the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets. In conjunction with the Spitfire acquisition, the Company incurred a total of approximately $1,300,000 in professional fees. The professional fees incurred for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 were $27,228 and $769,983, respectively. The professional fees were recorded as selling and administrative expenses.

Accounting

The acquisition of Spitfire was accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic No. 805, “Business Combinations”. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting, and on the date of the acquisition, the Company assessed the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (primarily using level 3 measurement inputs) and an allocated purchase price of $18,944,307. The allocation of the purchase considerations was based upon estimates made by the Company with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The purchase price allocation as of May 31, 2012, was as follows:

Accounting - Continued

The amounts allocated to non-contractual customer relationships, backlog, trade names, non-compete agreements and patents are estimated by the Company based on the work performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques. Appraisal assumptions utilized under these methods include a forecast of estimated future net cash flows, as well as discounting the future net cash flows to their present value. Acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives as set forth in the following table:

 

     Method    Life

Non-contractual customer relationships

   Accelerated    15 Years

Backlog

   Straight-line    1 Year

Trade names

   Straight-line    20 Years

Non-compete agreements

   Straight-line    7 Years

Patents

   Straight-line    5 Years

Goodwill

   N/A    Indefinite

The estimated asset lives are determined based on projected future economic benefits and expected life cycles of the acquired intangible assets. The amount assigned to goodwill is not being amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually or under circumstances that may indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill is deductible for federal income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.

The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration ($2,320,000 as of the acquisition date) was based on expected operating results of the Business through fiscal 2019 and the specific terms of when such consideration would be earned. Those terms provide for additional consideration to be paid to Seller or its owner based on a percentage of sales and pre-tax profits over those years in excess of certain minimums. Payments are to be made quarterly each year and adjusted after each year end audit. The Company has made two payments of $65,000 each as of January 31, 2013, with an additional payment of $65,000 to be made subsequent to the quarter ending January 31, 2013. The Company discounted expected payments by its weighted average cost of capital of 11.5%. The value of the 50,000 shares of restricted stock issued as part of the purchase price was based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date discounted by 15% to account for the restrictions associated with that issuance.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire. The Company instead began selling directly to Spitfire’s former customers.

Note H – Critical Accounting Policies

Management Estimates and Uncertainties – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition – Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order. Finished goods inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements. The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

Inventories – Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Note H – Critical Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Goodwill – Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Goodwill and other Intangible Assets,” requires the Company to assess goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment. There were no indicators identified during the quarter ended January 31, 2013.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets – The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.

Income Tax – The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates by management are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment and estimates by management about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income and/or loss.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. FASB ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 and adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

New Accounting Standards:

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which requires disclosure of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), that deferred the requirement to separately present within net income reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (ASC Topic 210), Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”, which requires an entity to disclose certain information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The Company is required to apply the amendments in this guidance for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will adopt this guidance beginning February 1, 2013. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment”, which permits the Company the option first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test by comparing the fair value with the carrying amount in accordance with Subtopic 350-30. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. ASU 2012-02 is effective for interim and annual impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not currently expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

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

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex, S.A. de C.V., Digital Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd., Spitfire Controls (Cayman) Co. Ltd. and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, “SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan branch (collectively, the “Company”) and other Items in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations. On May 31, 2012, SigmaTron acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire. Spitfire was a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Words such as “continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from our customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets impairment testing; the variability of our customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth, including its integration of the Spitfire operation acquired in May 2012. These and other factors which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and as risk factors and may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak as of the date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise required by law.

Overview:

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including: (1) automated and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design of appliance controls; (5) warehousing and shipment services; and (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. Increased demands for components and rising commodity prices could result in upward pricing pressure from the Company’s supply chain, which could affect our results of operations. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.

On May 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire (the (“Spitfire Transaction”). Spitfire was a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America was its primary market, Spitfire has applications that can be used worldwide. The Company provided manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, and was a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.

Spitfire provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances. The Company’s Spitfire division is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (“AHAM”), as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001-2008 certified. The acquisition allows the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire. The Company instead began selling directly to Spitfire’s former customers.

Results of Operations:

Net Sales

Net sales increased for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 to $46,758,568 from $38,099,493 for the three month period ended January 31, 2012. Net sales increased for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 to $147,117,192 from $116,894,157 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Sales volume increased for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the appliance, industrial and consumer electronics, medical/life sciences, and gaming marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the telecommunications and fitness marketplaces. The increase in revenue for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 is a result of sales to customers arising out of the Spitfire acquisition, as well as our existing customers’ increased demand for product.

In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically, makes forecasting difficult. The decrease in revenues in the third fiscal quarter of 2013 compared to the second fiscal quarter in the same fiscal year is a result of customer demand and is a direct reflection of what the Company perceives as a slowing economy. The Company anticipates a reduction in demand for product in the short-term; however; the Company has not lost any customers or specific programs and has been awarded significant new programs from current customers. The Company anticipates these new programs will result in additional revenues during fiscal 2014. The overall market remains difficult and the Company is experiencing pricing pressures and has excess capacity.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased during the three month period ended January 31, 2013 to $4,122,377 or 8.8% of net sales, compared to $3,521,580 or 9.2% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit increased for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 to $14,231,445 or 9.7% of net sales, compared to $10,635,495 or 9.1% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 was primarily the result of sales to customers arising out of the Spitfire acquisition, as well as, increased sales revenue from our existing customers’. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of net sales is the result of product mix and pricing pressures. The increase in gross profit for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 was partially offset by relocation expenses of approximately $399,000 for the Tijuana, MX move and a foreign currency loss of $250,312.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased to $4,380,524 or 9.4% of net sales for the three month period ended January 31, 2013, compared to $3,125,677 or 8.2% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The net increase for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 was $1,254,847. Of the increase noted above, $1,199,315 was for salaries and other administrative expenses attributable to Spitfire operations and $27,228 was transaction costs for the Spitfire Transaction. In addition, amortization expense, office and sales salaries, other professional fees, and general insurance expenses increased by approximately $361,015 for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in the foregoing selling and administrative

expenses were partially offset by a decrease in bonus, depreciation expense, and professional legal and accounting fees. Selling and administrative expenses increased to $13,725,684, or 9.3% of net sales for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to $9,067,123, or 7.8% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year, or an increase of $4,658,561. Of the increase noted above, for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013, $3,270,987 was attributable to salaries and other administrative expenses for the Spitfire operations and $769,983 was transaction costs for the Spitfire Transaction. Other increases in selling and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013, were due to commissions, freight out, computer maintenance, insurance and amortization expense. The increases in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in bonus, depreciation expense and paper and supply expenses.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased to $220,977 for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to $262,463 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Interest expense for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 was $626,684 compared to $827,897 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 was due to decreased borrowings under the Company’s banking arrangements and capital lease obligations. Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, increase.

Taxes

The income tax benefit from operations was $262,348 for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to an income tax expense of $50,386 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The income tax benefit from operations was $293,337 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to an income tax expense of $284,773 for the same period in the prior year. The income tax benefit for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 is a result of a pre-tax loss for the U.S. operations in fiscal 2013 created by the Spitfire acquisition. The U.S. statutory tax rate applied to the pre-tax U.S. loss created a tax benefit, which was partially offset by income tax expense from the Company’s foreign jurisdictions that have lower effective tax rates than in the U.S.

Net Loss/Income

Net loss from operations was $216,776 for the three month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to net income of $85,656 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Net income from operations decreased to $172,914 for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 compared to $484,884 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted loss per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2013 were each $0.06 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.02 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ended January 31, 2013 were each $0.04 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.13 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $921,133 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $4,570,497 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, cash flow used in operating activities was the result of an increase of inventories of $2,616,116 and accounts receivable of $2,781,759, primarily related to additional sales volume resulting from the Spitfire acquisition. Net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, an increase in trade accounts payable and deferred rent expenses.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $4,570,497 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily the result of a decrease in inventory, net income and the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization. The decrease in inventory of $8,826,490 was the result of the improvement of inventory management practices. Net cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and a decrease in trade accounts payable. The increase in accounts receivable of $4,462,174 was due to increased sales volume and timing of cash receipts from a significant customer. The decrease in accounts payable of $3,310,917 was due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business.

Investing Activities.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the Company purchased approximately $4,800,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. The Company expects to make additional machinery and equipment purchases of approximately $1,200,000 during the balance of fiscal year 2013. The Company anticipates the purchases will be funded by lease transactions and its bank line of credit. The Company received approximately $1,142,000 in cash in conjunction with the Spitfire Transaction.

During the first nine months of fiscal year 2012, investing activities consisted of purchases of approximately $1,824,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business.

Financing Activities.

Cash provided by financing activities was $4,185,386 for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1,892,866 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of increased borrowings of $4,450,869 under the credit facility. The additional borrowings were required to support the purchases of machinery and equipment and the increase in both accounts receivable and inventory.

Cash used in financing activities was $1,892,866 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012. Cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of payments under the credit facility and for capital lease obligations.

Financing Summary

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility initially extended through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at January 31, 2013) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at January 31, 2013), which is paid monthly. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. In conjunction with the Spitfire acquisition, two of the financial covenants required by terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility were amended as of May 31, 2012. The Company was in violation of certain of its financial covenants at July 31, 2012 and received a waiver for the financial covenant violations. The Company renegotiated its financial covenants during the quarter ended October 31, 2012 with its bank and extended the credit facility through September 30, 2014. At January 31, 2013 the Company was in compliance with its financial covenants. As of January 31, 2013, there was a $20,450,869 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $9,549,131 of unused availability.

The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on January 8, 2010, in the amount of $2,500,000, with Wells Fargo to refinance the property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters and its Illinois manufacturing facility. The Company repaid its prior Bank of America mortgage, which equaled $2,565,413, as of January 8, 2010, using proceeds from the Wells Fargo mortgage and senior secured credit facility. The Wells Fargo note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% per year and is amortized over a sixty month period. A final payment of approximately $2,000,000 is due on or before January 8, 2015. The outstanding balance as of January 31, 2013 was $2,200,012.

On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement extended to January 18, 2012 with monthly payments of $55,872 and a fixed interest rate of 4.29%. This lease financing arrangement was paid in full as of January 31, 2012. The net book value of the equipment was $1,266,275 at January 31, 2013.

On August 20, 2010 and October 26, 2010, the Company entered into two capital leasing transactions (a lease finance agreement and a sale leaseback agreement) with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $1,150,582. The term of the lease finance agreement, with an initial principal amount of $315,252, extends to September 2016 with monthly payments of $4,973 and a fixed interest rate of 4.28%. The term of the sale leaseback agreement, with an initial principal amount of $835,330, extends to August 2016 with monthly payments of $13,207 and a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. At January 31, 2013, $201,696 and $512,413 was outstanding under the lease finance and sale leaseback agreements, respectively. The net book value at January 31, 2013 for the equipment under each of the lease finance agreement and sale leaseback agreement was $253,953 and $644,194, respectively.

On November 29, 2010, the Company entered into a capital lease with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $226,216. The term of the lease agreement extends to October 2016 with monthly payments of $3,627 and a fixed interest rate of 4.99%. At January 31, 2013, the balance outstanding under the capital lease agreement was $148,576. The net book value of the equipment under this lease at January 31, 2013 was $183,092.

The total amount outstanding at January 31, 2013 for the three remaining equipment lease transactions discussed above was $862,685. The Company had two other capital leases not discussed above, one of which was paid in full in August 2011 and the other was paid in full in November 2011. The total net book value of the equipment under these other leases at January 31, 2013 was $1,081,238.

On May 8, 2012, the Company entered into a lease agreement in Tijuana, MX, to rent 112,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company receives incentives over the life of the lease, which extends through November 2018. The amount of the deferred rent expense recorded for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2013 was $56,898 and $337,599, respectively.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican, Vietnam and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan international procurement office. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Dong, Renminbi, and New Taiwan Dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the nine months ended January 31, 2013, resulted in a foreign currency loss of $250,312 compared to a foreign currency gain of $142,936 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2013, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $26,800,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided. During the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, the Company received a distribution of previously taxed earnings of approximately $1,039,000 from a foreign subsidiary based in Mexico. The Company does not anticipate any U.S. income taxes on the distribution as the earnings were previously subject to U.S. tax. This distribution of previously taxed earnings from the foreign subsidiary based in Mexico does not change the Company’s intentions to indefinitely reinvest the income from its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s intent is to keep these funds indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate them to fund our U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution, if such a distribution would occur.

The Company anticipates its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates, customers delay payments, or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.
