WIRELESS TELECOM GROUP, INC.
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES
|
|
|
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 have been prepared by the Company without audit. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Boonton Electronics Corporation, Microlab/FXR, Willtek Communications GmbH (Willtek), WTG Foreign Sales Corporation and NC Mahwah, Inc., collectively the Company. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
|
|
|
In 2010, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiary, Willtek. Accordingly, the operating activities of Willtek for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 are included in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations (see Note 3). |
|
|
|
In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above contain all necessary adjustments, consisting of normal accruals and recurring entries, which are necessary to present fairly the Companys results for the interim periods being presented. |
|
|
|
The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Companys financial statements included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Specific reference is made to that report since certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) have been condensed or omitted from this report. |
|
|
|
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including inventory valuation, accounts receivable valuation, valuation of deferred tax assets, accrued warranty expense, estimated fair values of stock options and assets held for sale) and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
|
|
The results of operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. |
|
|
|
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. |
|
|
|
The Company maintains significant cash investments primarily with two financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit rating of these institutions as part of its investment strategy. |
|
|
|
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited due to the Companys large customer base. However, at March 31, 2011, primarily all of the Companys receivables do pertain to the telecommunications industry. |
|
|
|
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other current assets and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2011, the fair value (estimated based upon expected cash outflows discounted at current market rates) and carrying value of the fixed rate mortgage payable amounted to $2,831,484 and $2,754,652, respectively. |

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND POLICIES (Continued)
|
|
|
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank and money market accounts. |
|
|
|
The Company has evaluated subsequent events and other than events specified in this report (see Note 11), the Company has determined that there were no other subsequent events or transactions requiring recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements. |

NOTE 2 RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS |
|
|
|
|
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts (amendments to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles, Goodwill and Other). The objective of this ASU is to address diversity in practice in the application of goodwill impairment testing by entities with reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts, eliminating an entitys ability to assert that a reporting unit is not required to perform Step 2 because the carrying amount of the reporting unit is zero or negative despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate the goodwill is more likely than not impaired. This ASU is effective for interim periods after January 1, 2011. The Companys adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
|
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17, Revenue Recognition Milestone Method (Topic 605). ASU 2010-17 provides guidance in applying the milestone method of revenue recognition to research and development arrangements. Under this guidance management may recognize revenue contingent upon the achievement of a milestone in its entirety, in the period in which the milestone is achieved, only if the milestone meets all the criteria within the guidance to be considered substantive. This ASU is effective on a prospective basis for research and development milestones achieved in fiscal years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Companys adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements as the Company has no material research and development arrangements which will be accounted for under the milestone method. |
|
|
|
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value classifications. It also requires information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value assets and liabilities. These disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2009. The ASU also clarifies existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques, which are required to be implemented in fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. Since the requirements of this ASU only relate to disclosure, the adoption of the portion of this guidance that became effective January 1, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, the portion of this guidance that became effective January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact in the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements. |

NOTE 4 INCOME TAXES
|
|
|
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards. |

NOTE 4 INCOME TAXES (Continued)
|
|
|
Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position. |
|
|
|
By adoption of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has identified its federal tax return, its state tax return in New Jersey and its foreign return in Germany as major tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its condensed consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
|
Based on a review of tax positions for all open years and contingencies as set out in Companys notes to the consolidated financial statements, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740 during the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010. |

NOTE 5 - INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE |
|
|
|
|
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and, when dilutive, potential shares from stock options and warrants to purchase common stock, using the treasury stock method. |

NOTE 7 - GOODWILL
|
|
|
The Company reviews the goodwill of its subsidiary, Microlab, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of this asset may not be recoverable, and also reviews Microlabs goodwill annually in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is ongoing, subjective and requires significant judgment and estimates regarding future cash flows and forecasts. Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over fair value of net assets acquired. Testing for the impairment of goodwill involves a two step process. The first step of the impairment test requires the comparing of a reporting units fair value to its carrying value. If the carrying value is less than the fair value, no impairment exists and the second step is not performed. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and the second step must be performed to compute the amount of the impairment. |
|
|
|
In the second step, the impairment is computed by estimating the fair value of all recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities of the reporting unit and comparing the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that units goodwill. As noted above, goodwill is attributable to one of the Companys reporting units, Microlab. |
|
|
NOTE 8 - ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION |
|
|
|
|
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, Share-Based Payment. The Companys results for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 include share-based compensation expense totaling $21,401 and $50,091, respectively. Such amounts have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within operating expenses. |
|
|
|
Stock option compensation expense relative to service-based options is the estimated fair value of options granted, amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Stock option compensation expense relating to performance-based options is the estimated fair value of options granted, recognized when stated performance targets are achieved, or expected to be achieved. |
|
|
|
The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For all performance-based options granted, the Company took into consideration guidance under ASC 718 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period that approximates the expected life of the options. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero. |
|
|
|
The Company did not grant stock options during either of the three-months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. Additionally, no stock options were exercised, forfeited or canceled during either of the three-months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010. At March 31, 2011, the total number of stock option shares outstanding, which includes both service-based and performance-based options, was 2,513,667. |
|
|
|
The following table represents our service-based stock options granted, exercised, forfeited and canceled during the first three months of 2011: |

Net sales are attributable to a geographic area based on the destination of the product shipment. The majority of shipments in the Americas are to customers located within the United States. For the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, sales in the United States amounted to $3,819,327 and $3,808,018, respectively. For the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, shipments to the EMEA region were not significantly concentrated in one country. Shipments to the APAC region were largely concentrated in China. For the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, sales in China amounted to $217,626 and $245,895, respectively.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company typically provides one-year warranties on all of its products covering both parts and labor. The Company, at its option, repairs or replaces products that are defective during the warranty period if the proper preventive maintenance procedures have been followed by its customers. Historically, warranty expense within the Company has been minimal. In 2009, there was a onetime increase of $240,000 in warranty costs due to the potential rework of specific product shipped in 2008. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company reversed the one-time warranty accrual as this product is no longer being produced at original specifications and management believes there is a remote likelihood that any units will be returned. This amount represented the maximum potential warranty related to these shipments.
Following an investigation by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) in 1982, of the waste disposal practices at a certain site formerly leased by Boonton, the Company put a ground water management plan into effect as approved by the NJDEP. Costs associated with this site are charged directly to income as incurred. The owner of this site has previously notified the Company that if the NJDEP investigation proves to have interfered with a sale of the property, the owner may seek to hold the Company liable for any resulting damages. Since May 1983, the owner has been on notice of this problem and has failed to institute any legal proceedings with respect thereto. While this does not bar the owner from instituting a suit, it is the opinion of the Companys legal counsel that it is unlikely that the owner would prevail on any claim.
In 2010, the Company hired a new environmental consultant to evaluate the results of the current remediation plan that has been in effect since 1982. The Company is diligently pursuing efforts to satisfy the requirements of the original plan and receive a new determination from the NJDEP. While management anticipates that the expenditures in connection with this site will not be substantial in future years, the Company could be subject to significant future liabilities and may incur significant future expenditures if further contaminants from Boontons testing are identified and the NJDEP requires additional remediation activities. Management is unable to estimate future remediation costs, if any, at this time. The Company will continue to be liable under the plan, in all future years, until such time as the NJDEP releases it from all obligations applicable thereto.
In 2010, the Company entered into a software license and support agreement with an accounting and business software supplier as part of an investment to upgrade the Companys business and systems infrastructure. The costs associated with the systems migration are expected not to exceed $350,000.

NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
The Company maintains a line of credit with its investment bank. The credit facility provides borrowing availability of up to 100% of the Companys money market account balance and 99% of the Companys short-term investment securities (U.S. Treasury bills) and, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, is fully secured by said money fund account and short-term investment holdings. Advances under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect at time of borrowing. Additionally, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, there is no annual fee and any amount outstanding under the loan facility may be paid at any time in whole or in part without penalty. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and approximately $6,000,000 of borrowing availability. The Company has no current plans to borrow from this credit facility as it believes its present cash balances will adequately meet near-term working capital requirements.
Proprietary information and know-how are important to the Companys commercial success. There can be no assurance that others will not either develop independently the same or similar information or obtain and use proprietary information of the Company. Certain key employees have signed confidentiality and non-compete agreements regarding the Companys proprietary information.
The Company believes that its products do not infringe the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance, however, that third parties will not assert infringement claims in the future.
NOTE 11 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 5, 2011, the Company entered into a building lease agreement with its current landlord to remain at its principal corporate headquarters in Hanover Township, Parsippany, NJ. The term of the lease agreement is for three years beginning October 1, 2011 and ending September 30, 2014. The Company will benefit from a reduction in the base rent rate, realizing savings of approximately $480,000 over the three year term, or approximately $160,000 when annualized.

INTRODUCTION
Wireless Telecom Group, Inc., and its operating subsidiaries, (collectively, the Company), develop, manufacture and market a wide variety of electronic noise sources, electronic testing and measuring instruments including power meters, voltmeters and modulation meters and high-power passive microwave components for wireless products. The Companys products have historically been primarily used to test the performance and capability of cellular/PCS and satellite communication systems and to measure the power of RF and microwave systems. Other applications include radio, radar, wireless local area network (WLAN) and digital television.
In 2010, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and liabilities of its foreign subsidiary, Willtek. Accordingly, the operating activities of Willtek for the three-months ended March 31, 2010 are included in the Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts, including, without limitation, the statements under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as believes, expects, intends, plans, may, will, should, anticipates or continues or the negative thereof of other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements are based on the Companys current expectations of future events and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the Companys actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, product demand and development of competitive technologies in our market sector, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the loss of any significant customers, the effects of adoption of newly announced accounting standards, the effects of economic conditions and trade, legal and other economic risks, among others. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. These risks and uncertainties are disclosed from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Companys press releases and in oral statements made by or with the approval of authorized personnel. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or future events or developments.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Managements discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of the Companys critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that the Company believes are: (a) the most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, and (b) that require managements most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Share-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Share-Based Payment. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the performance-based options granted, the Company takes into consideration guidance under ASC 718 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) when reviewing and updating assumptions. The expected option life is derived from assumed exercise rates based upon historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected volatility is based upon historical volatility of our shares using weekly price observations over an observation period of three years. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve rate in effect at the time of grant for periods similar to the expected option life. The estimated forfeiture rate included in the option valuation was zero.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from product shipments, including shipping and handling fees, is recognized once delivery has occurred provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Delivery is considered to have occurred when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer. Sales to international distributors are recognized in the same manner. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customers delivery site, then recognition of revenue is deferred until that time. There are no formal sales incentives offered to any of the Companys customers. Volume discounts may be offered from time to time to customers purchasing large quantities on a per transaction basis. There are no special post shipment obligations or acceptance provisions that exist with any sales arrangements.
Valuation of Inventory
Raw material inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Finished goods and work-in-process are valued at average cost of production, which includes material, labor and manufacturing expenses.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. A key consideration in estimating the allowance for doubtful accounts has been, and will continue to be, our customers payment history and aging of its accounts receivable balance. If the financial condition of any of its customers were to decline, additional allowances might be required.
Income Taxes
The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards.
Uncertain Tax Positions
Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.
16
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
By adoption of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company has identified its federal tax return, its state tax return in New Jersey and its foreign return in Germany as major tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.
Based on a review of tax positions for all open years and contingencies as set out in Companys notes to the consolidated financial statements, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740 during the periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
For the three-months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, net sales slightly decreased to approximately $6,077,000 from approximately $6,137,000, a decrease of approximately $60,000 or 1.0%. This slight decrease is primarily due to what management believes is a temporary softening in demand for the Companys products and services, driven mostly by the delay in the release of government related programs. The Company expects government spending on specific defense programs to increase throughout 2011 as spending budgets are approved.
Gross profit on net sales for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $2,650,000 or 43.6% as compared to approximately $2,803,000 or 45.7% of net sales for the three-months ended March 31, 2010. Gross profit margins are lower for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period of the previous year primarily due to significant non-recurring costs being allocated to comparatively flat revenues and an unfavorable product mix. During the three-months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred severance costs relating to the implementation of a cost reduction plan which included several manufacturing employees. The severance amount paid to these manufacturing employees was approximately $73,000. Additionally, during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company carried excess inventory in the amount of approximately $270,000 relating to a recently discontinued product line. This inventory was sold in its entirety at cost which negatively impacted gross profit.
The Companys products consist of several models with varying degrees of capabilities which can be customized to meet particular customer requirements. They may be incorporated directly into the electronic equipment concerned or may be stand alone components or devices that are connected to, or used in conjunction with, such equipment from an external site, in the factory or in the field. The Company can experience variations in gross profit based upon the mix of these products sold, as well as, variations due to revenue volume and economies of scale. Manufacturing overhead costs remained relatively consistent period over period. The Company continues to carefully monitor costs associated with material acquisition, manufacturing and production.
Operating expenses for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 were approximately $2,352,000 or 39% of net sales as compared to approximately $2,492,000 or 41% of net sales for the three-months ended March 31, 2010. Operating expenses are lower for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 primarily due to decreases in general and administrative expenses and a slight decrease in research and development expenses, offset by an increase in sales and marketing expenses. The decreases in general and administrative expenses are primarily due to a decrease in non-cash stock option charges, a decrease in professional fees and the reversal of a specific warranty accrual in the amount of $240,000 relating to product shipped in 2008. The Company determined that there is a remote likelihood that any of these specific units will be returned and subsequently reversed the accrual. Sales and marketing expenses increased primarily due to higher, order-specific commissions paid to the Companys external, non-employee sales representatives and severance paid to certain sales employees in connection with the cost reduction plan mentioned above.
17
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Interest income was approximately $3,000 the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest income is derived from the Companys cash investment account. Substantially all of the Companys cash is invested in money market funds. Other income, net of other non-operating expense, decreased by approximately $6,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. The decrease in other income is primarily due to non-operating expense incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 for services relating to the ground water testing being performed at the former site of the Companys subsidiary, Boonton. The Company has been testing the ground water in this site since 1982 in accordance with state regulations. The Company has hired a new environmental consultant to evaluate the results of the current remediation plan that has been in effect since 1982. The Company is diligently pursuing efforts to satisfy the requirements of the original plan and receive a new determination from the NJDEP. Management continues to be encouraged by recent test results which support improvements in ground water conditions over time. While management anticipates that the expenditures in connection with this site will not be substantial in future years, the Company could be subject to significant future liabilities and may incur significant future expenditures if any additional contamination is identified and the NJDEP requires additional remediation.
The income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 includes an adjustment to deferred taxes of approximately $138,000 based upon estimated realizable amounts of the utilization of operating loss carryforwards, offset by state income tax expense of approximately $57,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, income tax expense includes state income tax expense of approximately $46,000, offset by an adjustment to deferred taxes of approximately $43,000. The Company has recorded a net deferred tax benefit for federal tax purposes in connection with its disposition of Willtek. This tax benefit is expected to be realized in future periods as taxable income in those periods will be offset by net operating loss carryforwards. Management has provided a valuation allowance in the deferred tax asset resulting from these net operating loss carryforwards based upon the expected benefit to be realized from the future utilization of these carryforward losses. In evaluating the recoverability of the deferred tax asset, management projects actual taxable income over the next five years. Accordingly, the recorded amount of the deferred tax asset is subject to judgment by management and could differ from the actual benefit.
For the three-months ended March 31, 2011, the Company realized income from continuing operations of approximately $386,000 or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to income from continuing operations of approximately $320,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the three-months ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $66,000. This increase was primarily due to the analysis mentioned above.
For the three-months ended March 31, 2011, net results from discontinued operations was $0 or $0.00 per share on a diluted basis as compared to a net loss from discontinued operations of approximately $1,284,000 or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis for the three-months ended March 31, 2010. The loss during the three-months ended March 31, 2010 was primarily due to approximately $609,000 of a loss recognized on the sale of Willtek resulting from an increase in anticipated closing costs and approximately $675,000 of operating losses in Willtek.
Net income was approximately $386,000 or $0.02 income per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to a net loss of approximately $964,000 or $0.04 loss per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an increase of approximately $1,350,000. The net income and loss fluctuation was primarily due to the divestiture of Willtek as mentioned in the overall analysis above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Companys working capital has decreased by approximately $408,000 to approximately $22,225,000 at March 31, 2011, from approximately $22,633,000 at December 31, 2010. The decrease in working capital is primarily due to the repurchase of approximately 693,000 shares of the Companys common stock in 2011. At March 31, 2011 the Company had a current ratio of 11.9 to 1, and a ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .2 to 1. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a current ratio of 8.1 to 1, and ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .2 to 1.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12,142,000 at March 31, 2011, compared to approximately $13,643,000 at December 31, 2010. In January 2011, the Company paid approximately $874,000 in disposition fees relating to the sale of Willtek which were recorded as accrued expenses in the Companys consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010. The Company believes its current level of cash and cash equivalents is sufficient to fund the current operating, investing and financing activities.
18
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company expects to realize tax benefits in future periods due to the available net operating loss carryforwards resulting from the disposition of Willtek in 2010. Accordingly, future taxable income is expected to be offset by the utilization of operating loss carryforwards and as a result, will increase the Companys liquidity as cash needed to pay Federal income taxes will be substantially reduced.
The Company used cash for operating activities of approximately $905,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2011. The primary use of this cash was due to a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, an increase in inventory and an increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.
The Company has historically been able to turn over its accounts receivable approximately every two months. This average collection period has been sufficient to provide the working capital and liquidity necessary to operate the Company.
The Company used cash for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of approximately $1,208,000 for the three-month period ending March 31, 2010. The primary use of this cash was due to a loss from operations as well as an increase in accounts receivable, an increase in inventory, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Net cash used for investing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was approximately $122,000 and $13,000, respectively. The use of these funds was for capital expenditures.
Cash used for financing activities for the three-months ended March 31, 2011 was approximately $474,000. The use of these funds was for the acquisition of treasury stock, which was approved by the Companys board of directors in 2010, and the periodic payment of a mortgage note. For the three-months ended March 31, 2010, cash used for financing activities was approximately $15,000. The use of these funds was for the periodic payment of a mortgage note.
The Company maintains a line of credit with its investment bank. The credit facility provides borrowing availability of up to 100% of the Companys money market account balance and 99% of the Companys short-term investment securities (U.S. Treasury bills) and, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, is fully secured by said money fund account and short-term investment holdings. Advances under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) in effect at time of borrowing. Additionally, there is no annual fee and any amount outstanding under the loan facility may be paid at any time in whole or in part without penalty. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and approximately $6,000,000 of borrowing availability.
The Company believes that its financial resources from working capital are adequate to meet its current needs. However, should current global economic conditions deteriorate, additional working capital funding may be required which may be difficult to obtain due to restrictive credit markets.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
The Company does not anticipate that inflation will significantly impact its business or its results of operations nor does it believe that its business is seasonal.
