NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
1.
GENERAL
The
condensed consolidated balance sheet of EF Johnson Technologies, Inc., at
December 31, 2009, presented within this Report on Form 10-Q, has
been derived from audited consolidated financial statements at that date. The
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 are
unaudited. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal
and recurring accruals and adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results,
and cash flows for the interim periods presented in this quarterly report. The
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with
managements discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009. The results of operations and cash flows for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other period or the
entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.
Unless
the context otherwise provides, all references to the Company, we, us, and our include EF Johnson
Technologies, Inc., its predecessor entity and its subsidiaries, including
E.F. Johnson Company, Transcrypt International, Inc., and 3e Technologies
International, Inc. on a consolidated basis. All references to EF Johnson
refer to E.F. Johnson Company, all references to Transcrypt refer to
Transcrypt International, Inc., and all references to 3eTI refer to 3e
Technologies International, Inc.
On
April 1, 2009, Transcrypt International, Inc. merged into E.F.
Johnson Company.
The
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Original Merger
Agreement) dated as of May 15, 2010, with FP-EF Holding Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (Parent), and FP-EF Corporation, a Delaware corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), as amended by that
Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 19, 2010 (the Amendment,
together with the Original Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement). The
Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into the
Company (the Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving
corporation (Surviving Corporation) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent. Parent is an affiliate of Francisco Partners II, L.P., a global
technology-focused private equity fund.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders will receive $1.50 per share
in cash for their shares of stock of the Company, at which time the Company
will be privately held. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary
conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Companys
stockholders, (ii) expiration or termination of the applicable
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period, if applicable, (iii) absence of any
order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger,
(iv) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and
warranties with respect to the Companys business and compliance by the Company
with its covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, and (v) stockholders
owning no more than 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock dissenting
from the Merger and seeking appraisal rights.
The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and
Parent, and further provides that, in connection with the termination of the
Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to
pay Parent a termination fee of $1.5 million and/or reimburse certain
out-of-pocket expenses up to $1.0 million. Additionally, the Companys
only recourse if Parent breaches the Merger Agreement or the Company terminates
the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances is the right to receive a reverse
termination fee from Parent of $3.5 million and up to $1.0 million as
reimbursement for certain of the Companys out-of-pocket expenses. The
Company cannot seek equitable relief to enforce Parent to consummate the
Merger.
Parent and Merger Sub have
represented and warranted that they will have sufficient financing to
consummate the Merger and there is no financing condition to closing.
Additionally, Francisco Partners II, L.P. and Francisco Partners Parallel Fund
II, L.P., affiliates of Parent, have delivered to the Company a limited
guarantee with respect to the payment of the Parent Termination Fee and
out-of-pocket expenses of the Company.

ORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION
We
are a provider of secure wireless solutions that are sold to: (1) domestic
and foreign public safety / public service entities, (2) federal, state
and local governmental agencies, including the Departments of Defense and
Homeland Security, and (3) domestic and foreign commercial customers. Through EFJohnson, Transcrypt and 3eTI we
design, develop, market, and support:
·
mobile and portable wireless radios;
·
stationary transmitters / receivers (base
stations or repeaters);
·
infrastructure
equipment and systems;
·
secure
encryption technologies for proprietary wireless radios;
·
customized
wireless network centric products and systems to the federal government
primarily under government funded Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)
programs; and
·
niche hardware
and secure software technologies for the WLAN markets primarily in the
government and industrial controls sectors.
Our products are marketed under the EFJohnson, 3eTI
and Transcrypt brandnames.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EF Johnson
Technologies, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. In order
to be competitive in the public safety/public service market that has moved
towards convergent telecommunications solutions with demand for
interoperability and the continued transition from analog to digital platforms,
the Company is organized in a single centralized corporate structure. In light
of the converged telecommunication markets and our corporate structure, the
Company has one segment to report.

financial covenants of its Revolving Line of Credit Loan Agreement, Term Loan
Agreement and Security Agreement, as amended (the Loan Agreement) with Bank
of America, N.A. for the quarter ending December 31, 2009. The Company
executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement effective March 1, 2010 which
waived these covenant violations on a one-time basis, but the amendment also
included additional restrictions and further limited our access to liquidity
(see Note 11).
As
of March 31, 2010, the Company had $15.0 million due on June 30, 2010
under the term loan portion of the Loan Agreement. The Company had pledged $3.0
million to Bank of America, which is shown as Restricted Cash on our balance
sheet as of March 31, 2010 that partially offset the term loan.
The
Company did not anticipate that it would have sufficient cash on hand to pay
off the term loan when due, without dedicating all or substantially all of our
cash flow from operations to the payment of our indebtedness. The bank also
indicated that it would not renew the loan agreement with terms favorable to
the Company. As a result, the Company developed and implemented specific action
plans to improve profitability and resolve this liquidly matter in the first
half of 2010 including the following: i) flattening the organizational
structure and reducing employee and operational expenses in January 2010,
and ii) retaining the services of an outside investment banking firm and
to explore options available to the Company to refinance the debt, or raise
additional funds through private equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or
other strategic alternatives.
As
more fully disclosed in Note 1 above, on May 15, 2010, the Company entered
into the Original Merger Agreement which
was subsequently amended on June 19, 2010.
On
May 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment (the Seventh
Amendment) to the Loan Agreement that extended the maturity of the Loan
Agreement until August 31, 2010, in order to allow the Company to
consummate the Merger. The bank also waived compliance with certain financial
covenants contained in the Loan Agreement for the Companys fiscal quarter
ending June 30, 2010, on a one-time basis. In consideration of the banks

(Unaudited)
agreement,
the Company agreed to pay down the outstanding principal balance of the term
loan portion of the Loan Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million on
June 17, 2010. The parties further amended the Loan Agreement to increase
the revolving line of credit from $3.75 million to $6.0 million effective
June 17, 2010. All future advances under the Loan Agreement will
continue to be subject to the banks discretion. The Seventh Amendment
further requires the Company to continue to provide additional financial
reporting to the bank on a monthly basis through the maturity of the loans.
On
June 17, 2010, the Company paid down the outstanding principal balance of
the term loan portion of the Loan Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million
as required by the Seventh Amendment. The Company authorized the bank to
apply $5.75 million of funds held by the bank in a pledged account that reduced
the outstanding principal balance of the term loan as of June 30, 2010.
The Company has a remaining cash balance of $0.75 million pledged to Bank of
America that is shown as part of the Restricted Cash on our balance sheet as
collateral for the outstanding letter of credit. As of June 30, 2010, the
Company had $5.25 million available under its existing line of credit
(subject to the banks discretion) net of the letter of credit outstanding for
$0.75 million and had unrestricted cash of approximately $12.3 million.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification
of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result
should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

RETROSPECTIVE
ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
In September 2009, the Financial Accounting
Stand
ards Board (FASB) amended the accounting standards related to revenue
recognition for arrangements with multiple deliverables (new accounting
guidance). The new accounting guidance permits prospective or retrospective
adoption, and the Company elected to retrospectively adopt as of January 1,
2009 during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Prior to 2009, the Company
had not provided a significant number of optional extended warranties; and
therefore, the Company determined that the deferral of revenue associated with
optional extended warranties was insignificant in prior years.
The new accounting guidance
generally requires the Company to account for the sale of products and optional
extended warranties as separate deliverables. The first deliverable is the hardware
recognized at the time of delivery, and the second deliverable is the optional
extended warranty recognized ratably over the period benefited. The new
accounting guidance requires the Company to estimate a stand-alone selling
price for the optional extended warranty, defer that amount as deferred revenue
and recognize the revenue ratably over the period benefited.
The Company had the option
of adopting the new accounting guidance at the start of the fiscal year on a
prospective basis or at an interim period on a retrospective basis and elected
retrospective adoption. Retrospective adoption required the Company to revise
its previously issued 2009 quarterly interim financial statements as if the new
accounting guidance had been applied from the beginning of the fiscal year.

NET INCOME
(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic
income (loss) per share (EPS) is calculated based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted EPS
calculation reflects the potential dilution from common stock equivalents such
as stock options, stock satisfied stock appreciation rights (SSARs), restricted
stock grants and restricted stock units (collectively Incentive Shares). For
the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 and the three months ended June 30, 2009, outstanding incentive
shares with exercise prices lower than the average market price of the common
stock for the period were considered common stock equivalents and were dilutive
in the calculation of the diluted weighted average common shares. Outstanding
incentive shares that had exercise prices higher than the average market price
of the common stock for the period were considered anti-dilutive and excluded
from the calculation of diluted weighted average common shares. For the six
months ended June 30, 2009 all outstanding incentive shares were
considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the period end. The outstanding incentive shares that are
considered dilutive and anti-dilutive are as follows:

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We
use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of all
stock option grants and stock satisfied stock appreciation rights (SSARs)
(collectively Options). For the three and six months ended June 30,
2010, we recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, related to options and $0.1 million and virtually zero, respectively,
related to restricted stock grants and restricted stock units. For the three and six months ended June 30,
2009, we recognized compensation expense of $0.3 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, related to options and $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, related to restricted stock grants and restricted stock
units. Additionally, $0.1 million of
compensation expense was recognized related to equity grants made in the first
quarter of 2009 to certain named executive officers associated with
performance-based incentives earned for meeting certain operational, new
product introductions and other personal goals.

ESCROW FUND SETTLEMENT
On
January 13, 2009, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and
Mutual Release (the Settlement Agreement) settling a claim made by the
Company against the escrow fund established in connection with the acquisition
of 3eTI by the Company in 2006. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the 3eTI Merger Agreement), dated July 10, 2006, by and among
the Company, 3eTI, Avanti Acquisition Corp., Chih-Hsiang Li, as Stockholders
Agent, and Steven Chen, James Whang, Chih-Hsiang Li and AEPCO, Inc., $3.6
million (or ten percent (10%) of the purchase price for 3eTI) was deposited
into an escrow account at the time of closing to indemnify the Company for any
claims under the 3eTI Merger Agreement. In August 2008, the Company
made a claim against the escrow fund for damages arising out of certain alleged
breaches of representations and warranties contained in the 3eTI Merger Agreement.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company received on
January 16, 2009, approximately $2.8 million, inclusive of interest, out
of the escrow fund. The remaining balance of the escrow fund (or
approximately $1.1 million, inclusive of interest) was paid out to the former
stockholders of 3eTI pursuant to the terms of the 3eTI Merger Agreement.
The Settlement Agreement also contains a mutual release of liability for claims
related to the acquisition of 3eTI by the Company.
The
escrow funds received as part of the settlement were recorded as a reduction of
operating expense. The Company previously incurred research and development
costs in connection with the re-design, re-testing and re-certification of
certain 3eTI products to bring them up to specifications represented to exist
at the acquisition date.
8.
INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENT AND COMPREHENSIVE LOSS
On
July 19, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to manage
interest costs and risks associated with changing interest rates, not for
speculative or trading purposes. The interest rate swap agreement terminated on
June 30, 2010. The interest rate swap was designated as a cash flow hedge
and was recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of the swap were recorded in Accumulated
Comprehensive Loss in the balance sheet as the derivative was assessed as
effectively hedged. Changes in the fair value of the swap would have been reclassified to other income (expense) to the
extent the hedging instrument is determined to be ineffective.
The
interest rate swap agreement effectively converted the variable LIBOR component
of the interest rate on the $15.0 million term loan to a fixed rate of 5.64%.
Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company paid 5.64% and
the counterparty paid LIBOR on a monthly basis.
The cumulative net unrealized loss was brought down to zero as of June 30,
2010. Previously the cumulative net
unrealized loss was included in the long term debt obligations and accumulated
other comprehensive income in the consolidated balance sheet. The following is
a summary of comprehensive loss (in thousands):

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Our
goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31
of each year unless events or circumstances would require an immediate review.
Goodwill and intangible asset amounts are allocated to the reporting units
based upon amounts allocated at the time of their respective acquisition.
Intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships,
license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a
straight-line basis. Intangible assets consisting of trademark and trade name
and certifications are not subject to amortization.
We
performed fair value-based impairment tests at December 31, 2009 and
concluded that no impairment of the related goodwill or trade name had
occurred.
No
events occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively, which would indicate that an impairment of such assets had taken
place as of such dates.
Amortization
expense, related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization, was
$0.3 million and $0.2 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009,
respectively. Amortization expense,
related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization, was $0.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009,
respectively. Intangible assets consist

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009
(Unaudited)
11.
NOTE PAYABLE AND LINE OF CREDIT
We
amended our Loan Agreement with Bank of America in July 2006 to increase
our revolving line of credit of $15.0 million and include a term loan of $15.0
million. Both borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (LIBOR Margin). The LIBOR Margin
was 500 basis points at June 30, 2010 and 400 basis points at June 30,
2009. The interest rate of 5.35 % and 4.32% were in effect at June 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively. As discussed below, in conjunction with the
execution of the Merger Agreement an amendment to the Loan Agreement was
executed on May 15, 2010 that extended the expiration date from June 30,
2010 to August 31, 2010.
The
$15.0 million term loan was fully funded and used to finance the acquisition of
3eTI. The Company did not borrow against the revolving line during 2009 or
during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
There was $0.75 million open letters of credit under our line of credit
at June 30, 2010 and 2009. The total available credit under the line of
credit was approximately $5.25 million and $3.1 million as of June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As discussed in more detail
below, the maximum that we can borrow under the revolving credit line is $6.0
million through August 31, 2010.
The
Loan Agreement provides for customary affirmative and negative covenants,
including maintenance of corporate existence and certain reporting
requirements, as well as limitations on debt, liens, fundamental changes,
acquisitions, investments, loans, guarantees, use of proceeds and capital
expenditures. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains certain financial
covenants including a maximum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and a fixed charge
coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also provides for events of default that
would permit the lender to accelerate the loans upon their occurrence. As
collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement the Lender has a
security interest in substantially all assets of the borrowers, including
accounts receivable, inventories and general intangibles.
As
noted in our Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2009, we
were not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants of the Loan
Agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. As a result, effective
March 1, 2010, we executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby Bank
of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one-time basis, waived
compliance with such financial covenants for the Companys first quarter of
2010, and further amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things, (i) lower
the revolving line of credit from $10.0 million to $3.75 million, (ii) make
all future advances under the line subject to the lenders discretion, (iii) further
limit our ability to obtain letters of credit, (iv) require us to pledge
additional cash collateral totaling $3.5 million for the remaining term of the
loan agreement no later than June 15, 2010, and (v) require us to
provide additional financial reporting to the bank on a monthly basis. Failure to comply with any of these terms could
constitute an event of default that would permit the lender to accelerate the
loans upon their occurrence, which could have a material adverse effect on our
operating results and cash flows.
On
May 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment to the Loan
Agreement with Bank of America that extended the maturity of the Loan Agreement
until August 31, 2010, in order to allow the Company to consummate the
Merger. The bank also waived compliance with certain financial covenants
contained in the Loan Agreement for the Companys fiscal quarter ending
June 30, 2010, on a one-time basis.
In consideration of the banks agreement, the Company agreed to pay down
the outstanding principal balance of the term loan portion of the Loan
Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million on June 17, 2010. The parties further amended the Loan
Agreement to increase the revolving line of credit from $3.75 million to $6.0
million effective June 17, 2010. All future advances under the Loan
Agreement will continue to be subject to the banks discretion. The
Seventh Amendment further requires the Company to continue to provide
additional financial reporting to the bank on a monthly basis through the
maturity of the loan. On June 17,
2010, the Company paid down the outstanding principal balance of the term loan
portion of the Loan Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million as required
under the Seventh Amendment. Under the terms of the Seventh Amendment,
the Company authorized the bank to apply $5.75 million of funds held by the
bank in a pledged account that reduced the outstanding principal balance of the
term loan.

INCOME TAXES
We
did not record a tax benefit or provision for the six months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 primarily due to our fully reserved deferred tax assets requiring
no further provision for income taxes for each respective period end. The
Company has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.5 million that did
not change during the six months ended June 30, 2010

(Unaudited)
relating
to carry forward of business credits. In addition, future changes in the
unrecognized tax benefit will have no net impact on the effective tax rate due
to the existence of the valuation allowance.
As
of June 30, 2010, we have no accrual requirement for interest or penalties
related to uncertain tax positions since the tax benefits have not been
included in prior income tax return filings.
The
tax years 2005-2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which we are subject. Additionally, upon inclusion of the NOL
and R&D credit carry forward tax benefits from tax years 1996 to 2004 in
future tax returns, the related tax benefit for the period in which the benefit
arose may be subject to examination.
13.
WARRANTY COSTS
We
provide a one-to-three year warranty on substantially all of our product sales,
depending upon certain terms and conditions of the sale, and estimate future
warranty claims based on historical experience and anticipated costs to be
incurred over the life of the warranty. Warranty expense is accrued at the time
of sale with an additional accrual for specific items after the sale when their
existence is known and amounts are determinable. A reconciliation of changes in
our accrued warranty reserve as of June 30, 2010 is as follows (in

FAIR VALUE
OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The
carrying amounts of our current assets and liabilities approximate fair value
because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of our
term loan approximates fair value as it is based on prevailing market rates of
interest. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreement represents the
amount required to settle the agreement using prevailing market rates of
interest.
The
FASB authoritative guidance relating to the accounting for financial assets and
liabilities which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value, provides guidance regarding the manner in determining fair value of
a financial asset when there is no active market for such asset at the
measurement date and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
The
authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received
for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal
or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
·
Level 1quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
·
Level 2observable
inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and
liabilities.
·
Level 3unobservable
inputs in which there is little or no market data available, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We
are involved in certain legal proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of
our business. At this time, we do not believe that any liabilities relating to
such legal proceedings are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate,
material to our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
The
Company has accrued legal settlement fees in the amount of $150,000 as of June 30,
2010. The total we have accrued in regards to all legal proceedings as of December 31,
2009 was $32,000.
In
the normal course of our business activities related to sales of wireless radio
systems to local and state governmental entities, we are required under certain
contracts with various government authorities to provide letters of credit or
performance or bid bonds that may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under our
contracts. There was a $0.75 million letter of credit under our line of credit
as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. Performance and bid bonds,
which expire on various dates, totaled $2.4 million at June 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009. No bonds had been drawn upon at either date.
The majority of bonds relate to the contract
awarded in May 2008 by the Government of Yukon, Canada that is
collateralized by restricted cash of $2.0 million.
Litigation
Relating to the Merger
Since
the announcement of the Merger, two putative stockholder class action lawsuits
have been filed against the Company and the members of the Board of Directors.
Bruce L. Deichl and P. Elayne Wishart v. EF Johnson
Technologies, Inc., et al.,
was filed in the District Court of
Dallas County, Texas on May 21, 2010 and
Edwin
McKean, Raul Quino v. Michael Jalbert, et al.
was filed in the
District Court of Dallas County, Texas on May 26, 2010. The Plaintiffs in
the Deichl and McKean lawsuits filed a consolidated amended petition on June 30,
2010. The consolidated petition names the Company, the members of the Board of
Directors, Parent and Merger Sub as defendants. The consolidated petition
asserts generally that the members of the Board of Directors breached their
fiduciary duties by, among other things, failing to maximize stockholder value
in the Merger and by failing to provide adequate disclosures in the Companys June 23,
2010 preliminary proxy statement. The consolidated petition further asserts
that the Company, Parent and Merger Sub aided and abetted those alleged breaches
of fiduciary duties. The consolidated petition seeks, among other relief, an
order enjoining the consummation of the Merger, rescissory damages or
rescission of the Merger if it is consummated, other damages in an unspecified
amount, and an award of attorneys fees and costs of litigation. The Company,
Francisco Partners, Parent and Merger Sub believe that these lawsuits are
without merit and intend to defend them vigorously.
16.
COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
On
November 15, 2007, the Company committed to an organizational plan (the 2007
Plan) to shift from three divisions to one integrated corporate structure
focused on secure wireless communications for government and industrial
customers. The Plan resulted in improved efficiencies in our operations,
reduced our infrastructure costs and supported a new technology roadmap driving
toward a streamlined and more effective structure. Implementation of the Plan
included senior and middle management changes as well as staff reductions designed
to eliminate redundant positions and reflect the Companys decision to
consolidate operations and move production from three locations into a
centralized operations and outsourcing program in the Dallas/Fort Worth
area. All exit costs for the 2007 plan
had been incurred by March 31, 2009.
On
December 31, 2009, the Company committed to a work force reduction plan
(the 2009 Plan) to realign certain executive and senior management positions
as well as staff reductions resulting from the fourth quarter 2009 performance
of land mobile radio product sales. The 2009 Plan was implemented in the first
quarter of 2010.

Costs
that were directly associated with the 2009 Plan were being recorded as restructuring
costs and were included in general and administrative expenses. Other costs
that do not qualify as restructuring costs are being classified as other
operating expenses or costs of goods sold in the Companys consolidated
statements of operations.
The
timing of the recognition of costs associated with this move were determined in
accordance the FASB authoritative guidance relating to the accounting for
costs associated
with exit or disposal activities and provides that a liability for a
cost associated with an exit or disposal activity shall be recognized at its
fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. In particular,
employee-related termination costs associated with the relocation are generally
recognized ratably over the period that the employees are required to provide
services in order to earn the respective termination benefit.

RECENTLY
ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In
January 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASU 2010-06,
Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements,
which
amends FASB ASC 820. The updated guidance requires new disclosures about
recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant
transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and
information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in
the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. The guidance also
clarified existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level
of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The guidance became effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15,
2009, with an exception for the disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances and
settlements on the roll-forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.
Those disclosures will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not anticipate the adoption of this
guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial
statements.
In
April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, Milestone Method of
Revenue Recognition. This ASU allows entities to make a policy election to use
the milestone method of revenue recognition and provides guidance on defining a
milestone and guidance on the criteria that should be met for applying the
milestone method. The scope of this ASU is limited to the transactions
involving milestones relating to research and development deliverables or units
of accounting under which a vendor satisfies its performance obligations over a
period of time, and when a portion or all of the consideration is contingent
upon uncertain future events or circumstances, except when the guidance in the
ASU conflicts with the guidance provided elsewhere in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.
The guidance includes enhanced disclosure requirements about each arrangement,
individual milestones and related contingent consideration, information about
substantive milestones and factors considered in the determination. The
amendments in this ASU are effective prospectively to milestones achieved in
fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after June 15,
2010. Early application and retrospective application are permitted. We have
evaluated this new ASU and have determined that it does not have a significant
impact on the determination or reporting of our financial results as of June 30,
2010. The Company is required to review certain new contracts pertinent to
Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and related ASUs on an on-going basis.
19.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
We
have evaluated events occurring subsequent to the date of our financial
statements and through the date our financial statements were issued. We have
recognized the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence
about conditions that existed at our balance sheet date as of June 30,
2010, including estimates inherent in the process of preparing our financial
statements. There were no non-recognized subsequent events to be disclosed in
our financial statements.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Discussions
of certain matters contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may
constitute forward-looking statements under Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act). These forward-looking statements are
based upon our current expectations, estimates and projections about our
business and our industry, and reflect our beliefs and assumptions based upon
information available to us at the date of this report. In some cases, you can
identify these statements by words such as if, may, might, will, should,
expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential,
continue, and other similar terms. These forward-looking statements relate
to, among other things, the results of our product development efforts, future
sales and expense levels, our future financial condition, liquidity, and
business prospects generally, the impact of our relocation of operating
facilities, and outsourcing of manufacturing on our operating results,
perceived opportunities in the marketplace for our products, and our other
business plans for the future.
These
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause the actual results, performance and outcomes to differ materially
from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements due to a
number of risk factors including, but not limited to, the risks discussed in
the 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 1A Risk Factors and
in Part II of this report on Form 10-Q under Item 1A Risk
Factors. We caution readers not to rely on these forward-looking statements,
which reflect managements analysis only as of the date of this quarterly
report. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking
statement for any reason except as required by law.
The
following discussion is intended to provide a better understanding of the
significant changes in trends relating to our financial condition and results
of operations. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.
Overview
In
order to be competitive in the public safety/public service market that has
moved towards convergent telecommunications solutions with demand for
interoperability and the continued transition from analog to digital platforms,
the Company is organized in a single centralized corporate structure. In light
of the converged telecommunication markets and our corporate structure, the
Company has one segment to report.
We
design, develop, market and support wireless radios and wireless communications
infrastructure and systems for digital and analog platforms. In addition, we
offer encryption technologies for wireless voice, video and data communications
and we also design, develop, market and support secure wireless networking
solutions that include Wi-Fi products, mesh networking, access points, and
client infrastructure products. The Companys customers include first responders
in public safety and public service, the federal government, and industrial
organizations.
Due
to the timing of orders and seasonality, our quarterly results fluctuate. We
experience seasonality in our results in part due to governmental customer
spending patterns that are influenced by government fiscal year-end budgets and
appropriations. The unpredictable sales cycle coupled with launching new
products and solutions can also cause variations from quarter to quarter.
The
Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Original Merger
Agreement) dated as of May 15, 2010, with FP-EF Holding Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (Parent), and FP-EF Corporation, a Delaware corporation
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub), as amended by that
Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 19, 2010 (the Amendment,
together with the Original Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement). The
Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Merger Sub will merge with and into the
Company (the Merger), with the Company continuing as the surviving
corporation (Surviving Corporation) and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Parent. Parent is an affiliate of Francisco Partners II, L.P., a global
technology-focused private equity fund.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Merger Agreement, stockholders will receive $1.50 per share
in cash for their shares of stock of the Company, at which time the Company
will be privately held. Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary
conditions, including, among others, (i) approval of the Companys
stockholders, (ii) expiration or termination of the applicable
Hart-Scott-Rodino Act waiting period, if applicable, (iii) absence of any
order or injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Merger,
(iv) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and
warranties with respect to the Companys business and compliance by the Company
with its covenants contained in the Merger Agreement, and (v) stockholders
owning no more than 10% of the Companys outstanding common stock dissenting
from the Merger and seeking appraisal rights.
16
The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and
Parent, and further provides that, in connection with the termination of the
Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company will be required to
pay Parent a termination fee of $1.5 million and/or reimburse certain
out-of-pocket expenses up to $1.0 million. Additionally, the Companys
only recourse if Parent breaches the Merger Agreement or the Company terminates
the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances is the right to receive a reverse
termination fee from Parent of $3.5 million and up to $1.0 million as
reimbursement for certain of the Companys out-of-pocket expenses. The
Company cannot seek equitable relief to enforce Parent to consummate the
Merger.
Parent
and Merger Sub have represented and warranted that they will have sufficient
financing to consummate the Merger and there is no financing condition to
closing. Additionally, Francisco Partners II, L.P. and Francisco Partners
Parallel Fund II, L.P., affiliates of Parent, have delivered to the Company a
limited guarantee with respect to the payment of the Parent Termination Fee and
out-of-pocket expenses of the Company.
Our Products and Solutions
Our
wireless radio offerings are primarily digital solutions designed to operate in
both analog and digital system environments. Our products and systems are based
on industry standards designed to enhance interoperability among systems,
improve bandwidth efficiency, and integrate voice and data communications.
The
Land Mobile Radio (LMR) industry utilizes two-way wireless communications
through wireless networks, which include infrastructure components such as base
stations, repeaters, transmitters and receivers, network switches and portable
and mobile two-way communication radios. Individual users operate portable
hand-held radios and vehicular-mounted radios in their wireless communications
system. Utilizing licensed RF spectrum, the customer owns and operates the
wireless communication system that is networked by linking together the infrastructure
components. We develop customer solutions, which leverage the customers
wireless system and wireless radios with customer specific or enterprise wide
applications.
The
majority of our revenues are derived from the sale of wireless radio products.
Our federal, state and local governmental agency customers are increasingly
demanding interoperable, secured communications products and systems. We
believe this demand has created opportunities for us as we believe we are
positioned to provide these products and systems. As a result, we expect to
continue to allocate a majority of our on-going research and development
expenditures to wireless radio features and enhancements, infrastructure
components and system development efforts.
We
provide the domestic and international LMR industry with secure encryption
technologies for analog wireless radios. These products are specifically
designed to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive voice communications in
parts of the world where wireless radio systems remain analog and security
needs are high. These products are sold as aftermarket add-on components or
embedded components for existing analog radios and systems.
We
also design, develop, market and support customized wireless network centric
products and systems which include secure Wi-Fi products, including mesh
networking, access point, bridge, and client infrastructure products, as well
as security software. We provide sensor network solutions through our
InfoMatics® middleware, which enable sensors and databases to communicate data
to pertinent personnel for command and control applications in near real-time.
These products and solutions utilize FIPS 140-2 validated wireless products,
802.11 wireless networking (WIFI) solutions, mesh networking and conditions
based and location based telematics solutions.
Our Sales
and Distribution Approach
Our
products and systems are sold through multiple channels including a direct
sales force, dealers, distributors, and strategic partnering arrangements. We
utilize our dealer network to assist in installing, servicing, selling and
distributing our products. We also generate revenues through the federal
government under government funded research and development Small Business
Innovative Research programs (SBIR). Additionally, we offer our products to
commercial, non-governmental users.
Much
of our business is obtained through submission of formal competitive bids. Our
governmental customers generally can specify the terms, conditions and form of
the contract. Our government business is subject to government funding
decisions and contract types can vary widely, including cost plus, fixed
priced, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), and government-wide
acquisition contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA), which
require pre-qualification of vendors and allows government customers to more
easily procure our products and systems.
Depending
on the size and complexity of customer specifications and requirements,
products can be shipped to the customer in a relatively short period of time
(typically 90 days) or with complex integrations and various delivery dates,
orders can span multiple years. For example, our longer-term system contracts
and government services revenues are generated under customer contracts and
agreements for which revenue is recorded under the percentage-of-completion
method.
17
Description of Operating Accounts
Revenues
. Revenues consist of
product sales, services, and government-funded research and development
services and solutions net of returns and allowances. Longer-term system and
government services revenues are recognized under the percentage-of-completion
method.
Cost of Sales.
Cost of sales includes
costs of components and materials, labor, depreciation and overhead costs
associated with the production of our products and services, as well as
shipping, royalty, inventory reserves, warranty product costs, and incurred
cost under sales contracts.
Gross Profit.
Gross profit is net
revenues less the cost of sales and is affected by a number of factors,
including competitive pricing, product mix, type of contract and cost of
products and services including warranty and inventory reserves and conversion
costs.
Research and Development.
Unreimbursed
research and development expenses consist primarily of costs associated with
research and development personnel, materials, and the depreciation of research
and development equipment and facilities. We expense all unreimbursed research
and development costs as they are incurred while all research and development
expenses that are reimbursed by our government customers are included as a
component of cost of sales.
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing
expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of sales personnel,
including sales commissions and travel expenses, as well as costs of
advertising, product and program management, public relations and trade show
participation.
General and Administrative
. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other expenses
associated with our management, post sales operations support, accounting,
information systems and administrative functions. This expense also includes
the impact of equity-based compensation expense and costs relating to our
operating facility moves. Pertinent to 3eTI, accounting for government
contracts delineates what is a direct charge allowable to include in contract
costs and what is considered to be an indirect charge reflected as general and
administrative expenses. We consider indirect engineering labor and operating
costs such as quality, planning, operations, and company fringe benefits,
general administrative salaries and other general administrative expenses as
general and administrative expense.
Amortization of Intangibles.
Amortization
of intangibles consist primarily amortization expense associated with the
definite lived intangibles assets acquired in the 3eTI acquisition. Definite
lived intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer
relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their
useful life on a straight-line basis.
Escrow Fund Settlement.
Escrow
fund settlement consists of funds received associated with the 3eTI reporting
unit for settled claims against funds held in an escrow account. The escrow
fund reimbursed the Company for previously incurred research and development
costs in connection with the re-design, re-testing and re-certification of
certain 3eTI products to bring them up to specifications represented to exist
at the acquisition date.
Interest Expense, Net.
I
nterest expense, net consists of interest expense on the term note,
revolving line of credit and capital leases net of interest income earned on cash
and cash equivalents.
Provision for Income Taxes.
Provision
(benefit) for income taxes includes the increase or decrease in the valuation
reserve that is based upon managements conclusions regarding, among other
considerations, our historical operating results and forecasted future earnings
over a five year period, our current and expected customer base projections,
and technological and competitive factors impacting our current products.
Current financial accounting standards require that organizations analyze all
positive and negative evidence relating to deferred tax asset realization,
which would include our historical accuracy in forecasting future earnings, as
well as our history of losses incurred within the past three years. Should
factors underlying managements estimates change, future adjustments, either
positive or negative, to our valuation allowance may be necessary.
Critical Accounting Policies
The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts
reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying
notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and all known facts and
circumstances that we believe are relevant. Actual results may differ
materially from our estimates. We believe the following accounting policies to
be most critical to an understanding of our financial condition and results of
operations because they require us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments
about matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting estimates
include those regarding (1) revenues, (2) receivables, (3) inventories,
(4) goodwill and other intangible assets, (5) warranty costs, (6) income
taxes, (7) long-lived assets and (8) stock-based compensation. For a
discussion of the critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. Managements

Comparison of the Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30,
2010 and 2009
Revenues.
Our revenues decreased $4.2
million, or 14%, to $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 from
$29.9 million for the same period in 2009. The decline was attributable to
lower LMR revenues associated with re-banding projects partially offset by
increases associated with State LMR infrastructure revenues. Our revenues
increased $3.0 million, or 6%, to $55.0 million for the six months ended June
30, 2010 from $52.0 for the same period in 2009. The increase was attributable to increased
State LMR infrastructure revenues.
Gross Profit.
Our gross profit decreased
$1.9 million, or 15%, to $10.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010
from $12.3 million for the same period in 2009. Gross profit, as a percentage
of revenues, or gross margin, was 40.7% for the three months ended June 30,
2010, as compared to 41.3% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in gross
profit and gross margin was attributable to lower quarterly revenues and
product mix. Our gross profit increased
$1.2 million, or 6%, to $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010
from $19.7 million for the same period in 2009. Gross profit, as a percentage
of revenues, or gross margin, was 38.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2010,
as compared to 37.9% for the same period in 2009. The increase in gross profit
for the first half of 2010 was attributable to overall revenue volume. We
anticipate margins to fluctuate over the remainder of fiscal year 2010 due to
product mix.
Research and Development.
Research and
development expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 26% to $2.3 million in the
three months ended June 30, 2010 from $3.1 million in the same period in 2009.
Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 9.0%
in the second quarter of 2010 versus 10.4% for the same period in 2009 mainly
due to controlling costs and a more focused approach for core initiatives.
Research and development expenses decreased $1.7 million, or 27% to $4.7
million in the six months ended June 30, 2010 from $6.4 million in the same
period in 2009. Research and development expenses as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 8.5% in the first half of 2010 versus 12.4% for the same period in
2009. The lower research and development expenses for the first half of 2010
are due to the completion of
20
certain
engineering programs and a more focused R&D approach for our core
initiatives. We anticipate research and development costs to increase in the
second half of 2010 as the Company begins work on new core initiatives and
projects.
Sales and Marketing.
Sales and marketing expenses
decreased $0.5 million, or 21%, to $1.9 million in the three months ended June
30, 2010 from $2.4 million in the same period in 2009. Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.4% in the second quarter of 2010
versus 8.1% for the same period of 2009. The decrease sales and marketing
expenses is mainly attributable to lower headcount and lower sales compensation
structure through the second quarter of 2010. Sales and marketing expenses
decreased $0.9 million, or 18%, to $4.0 million in the six months ended June
30, 2010 from $4.9 million in the same period in 2009. Sales and marketing
expenses as a percentage of revenues were 7.2% for the first half of 2010
versus 9.4% in the first half of 2009. We
anticipate sales and marketing expenses to increase in the second half of 2010
relating to filling open positions and upcoming marketing initiatives.
General and Administrative.
General and
administrative expenses were flat at $5.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. General and administrative expenses
decreased slightly by $0.4 million, or 3%, to $10.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 from $10.8 million for the same period in 2009.
Amortization of Intangibles.
Amortization of
intangibles remained stable at $0.2 for the three months ended June 30, 2010
and for the same period in 2009.
Amortization of intangibles remained stable at $0.5 for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and for the same period in 2009.
Escrow fund settlement.
In
January 2009, we settled claims under the 2006 3eTI acquisition agreement
and received $2.8 million of the funds held in the escrow account established
in connection with the acquisition. The escrow funds received as part of the
settlement that were not replicated in 2010 were recorded as a reduction of
operating expense. The settlement was in connection with the acquisition of
3eTI in 2006. The total consideration paid by the Company consisted of $36.0
million in cash, which included $3.6 million to be held in escrow to indemnify
the Company for any claims under the 3eTI acquisition. In August 2008, the
Company made a claim against the escrow fund for damages arising out of certain
alleged breaches of representations and warranties contained in the 3eTI acquisition
agreement. The Company previously incurred research and development costs in
connection with the re-design, re-testing and re-certification of certain 3eTI
products to bring them up to specifications represented to exist at the
acquisition date.
Interest Expense, net.
Interest
expense, net remained relatively flat at $0.4 million in expense for the three
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Interest expense, net increased $0.2 million
to approximately $0.8 million in expense for the six months ended June 30, 2010
from $0.6 million for the same period in 2009. The increases were attributable
to increased interest rates on the term loan relating to the loan amendment
executed in March 2010 as more fully disclosed in Liquidity and Capital Resources
below.
Provision for Income Taxes.
We did not
record a tax benefit or provision for either the three months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 primarily due to our fully reserved deferred tax assets requiring
no further provision for income taxes for each respective period end. The
valuation reserve is based upon managements conclusions regarding, among other
considerations, our cumulative loss position during three preceding years, our
operating results during each period, our current and expected customer base,
technological and competitive factors impacting our current products, and
managements estimates of future earnings based on information currently
available.
Net Income / (Loss).
Net income was $0.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting a decrease of $0.6
million, as compared to net income of $0.9 million for the same period in 2009.
Excluding the $2.8 million received for the escrow fund settlement, the net
loss for the three months ended June 30, 2009, would have been $1.9 million.
Net income was $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, reflecting
an increase of $1.2 million, as compared to net loss of ($0.7) million for the
same period in 2009. Excluding the $2.8 million received for the escrow fund
settlement, the net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2009, would have
been ($3.5) million. The improved operating performance relates to the 6%
increase in revenues and lower operating expenses relating to reductions in
research and development and sales and marketing expenses during 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The
Companys primary sources of liquidity are its cash and cash equivalents which
were $12.3 million (net of $2.8 million pledged restricted cash) at June 30,
2010 and $16.0 million at December 31, 2009 (net of $5.0 million
pledged restricted cash). In June 2010, the Company paid $10.0 million towards
the $15.0 million term loan leaving a balance of $5.0 million as of June 2010.
The Company recognized net income of $0.5 million for the first half of 2010.
However, due to the net losses in 2009, 2008 and 2007, we considered the timing
of prior year losses and several other key factors in assessing the liquidity
requirements of the Company for the next twelve months.
21
Management
developed operational cash flow projections which factor in our backlog of
orders, timing of receiving and shipping orders, the continued focus on cost
management, and our historical collection and payment patterns with customers
and vendors. The majority of our customers are with the United States
Government, state counties that are rebanding under the FCC and Sprint / Nextel
escrowed funds arrangement, state and local agencies and our dealer network
supporting state and local agencies. In several cases, our customer purchases
of products and services are supported by encumbered funds and grants. While
this does not provide absolute payment assurance, it does indicate
collectibility is reasonably assured. Management continues to monitor the
financial condition of our vendors and supply chain noting some impact from the
current economic conditions could disrupt our deliveries.
The
Company also has a secured line of credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A.
(the Loan Agreement), which has been extended to August 31, 2010 as discussed
below. Borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (LIBOR Margin). The LIBOR
Margin was 500 basis points at June 30, 2010. The effective interest rate at
June 30, 2010 was 5.35 percent. The outstanding balance of the term loan
portion of the Loan Agreement was $5.0 million as of June 30, 2010.
The
Loan Agreement provides for customary affirmative and negative covenants, including
maintenance of corporate existence, property and certain reporting
requirements, as well as limitations on debt, liens, fundamental changes,
acquisitions, investments, loans, guarantees, use of proceeds and capital
expenditures. In addition, the Loan Agreement contains certain financial
covenants including a maximum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and a fixed charge
coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement also provides for events of default that
would permit the bank to accelerate the loans upon their occurrence. As
collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement, the bank has a
security interest in substantially all assets of the borrowers, including
accounts receivable, inventories and general intangibles.
The
Company did not borrow against the revolving line of credit during 2009 or
during the six months ended June 30, 2010. There was $0.75 million of open
letters of credit under our line of credit at June 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009. The total available credit under the line of credit was $5.25 million and
$3.1 million as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. As
discussed in more detail below, effective with the May 15, 2010 amendment to
the Loan Agreement, the maximum that we can borrow under the revolving credit
line has been increased from $3.75 million to $6.0 million after June 17, 2010
through August 31, 2010. Any borrowings under the line of credit are at the
discretion of the bank.
As
noted in our Form 10-K for the period ending December, 31, 2009, we were
not in compliance with certain of the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement
for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. As a result, effective
March 1, 2010, we executed an amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby Bank
of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one-time basis, waived
compliance with such financial covenants for the Companys first quarter of
2010, and further amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things,
(i) lower the revolving line of credit from $10.0 million to
$3.75 million, (ii) make all future advances under the line subject
to the banks discretion, (iii) further limit our ability to obtain
letters of credit, (iv) require us to pledge additional cash collateral
totaling $3.5 million for the remaining term of the Loan Agreement no
later than June 15, 2010, and (v) require us to provide additional
financial reporting to the bank on a monthly basis.
On
May 15, 2010, the Company entered into a Seventh Amendment (the Seventh
Amendment) to the Loan Agreement that extended the maturity of the Loan
Agreement until August 31, 2010, in order to allow the Company to
consummate the Merger as more fully disclosed in the overview above. The bank
also waived compliance with certain financial covenants contained in the Loan
Agreement for the Companys fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010, on a
one-time basis. In consideration of the banks agreement, the Company agreed to
pay down the outstanding principal balance of the term loan portion of the Loan
Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million on June 17, 2010. The parties further amended the Loan
Agreement to increase the revolving line of credit from $3.75 million to $6.0
million effective June 17, 2010. All future advances under the Loan
Agreement will continue to be subject to the banks discretion. The
Seventh Amendment further requires the Company to continue to provide
additional financial reporting to the bank on a monthly basis through the
maturity of the loans. On June 17, 2010,
the Company paid down the outstanding principal balance of the term loan
portion of the Loan Agreement from $15.0 million to $5.0 million as required
under the Seventh Amendment. Under the terms of the Seventh Amendment,
the Company authorized the bank to apply $5.75 million of funds held by the
Lender in a pledged account that reduced the outstanding principal balance of
the term loan.
As
more fully disclosed in the overview above, the Company entered into the
Original Merger Agreement on May 15, 2010which was subsequently amended on June
19, 2010.
As
noted above, the maturity of the Loan Agreement was extended to August 31, 2010
in order for the Company to consummate the Merger. As a result, the
$5.0 million remaining balance of the term loan is due and payable in full
on that date. If the Merger is not consummated on that date, the Company does
not anticipate that it will have sufficient cash on hand on that date to pay
off the term loan without dedicating all or substantially all of our cash flow
from operations to the
22
payment
of our indebtedness, thereby substantially reducing the funds available for
operations, working capital, capital expenditures, research and development,
sales and marketing initiatives and general corporate or other purposes.
Our
current cash flow and capital resources are limited, and we require additional
funds to pursue our business. We may not be able to secure further financing in
the future. If we are not able to obtain additional financing on reasonable
terms, we may not be able to execute our business strategy, conduct our
operations at the level desired, or even to continue business.
If
we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible
debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution in
their percentage ownership of our company, and any new equity securities we
issue could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders
of our common stock. In addition, any debt financing that we may secure in the future
could have restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and
other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for
us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities.
If
we sell certain assets of the Company to satisfy our obligations, that may
materially reduce our revenues in the future, which, to the extent not offset
by cost reductions or revenue from new or existing customers, could materially
reduce our cash flows and adversely affect our financial position. This may
limit our ability to raise capital or fund our operations, working capital
needs and capital expenditures in the future. See Part II Other Information,
Item 1A. Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q for an additional discussion of
risks.
Letters of credits and bonds.
In
the normal course of our business activities related to sales of wireless radio
systems to local and state governmental entities, we are required under
contracts with various government authorities to provide letters of credit or
performance or bid bonds that may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under our
contracts. There was a $0.75 million letter of credit under our line of credit
as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Performance and
bid bonds, which expire on various dates, totaled $2.4 million at June 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. No bonds had been drawn upon at
either date. The majority of bonds relate to the contract awarded in May 2008
by the Government of Yukon, Canada that is collateralized by restricted cash of
$2.0 million.
Net cash from operating activities.
Our operating
activities provided cash of $4.6 million and $1.7 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
During
the first half of 2010, operating cash was provided primarily from net income
of $0.5 million, reductions in inventory, costs in excess of billings and other
receivables coupled with increases in accounts payable, billings in excess of
costs, deferred revenues and non-cash depreciation, amortization and stock
compensation all aggregating to $6.8 million. Partially offsetting were uses of
cash relating to increases in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses coupled
with reductions in other accrued liabilities all aggregating to $2.7 million.
During
the first half of 2009, operating cash was provided primarily from improved
inventory turnover, reduced costs in excess of billings due to increased
contract billings, collection of related party receivables and non-cash depreciation,
amortization and stock compensation aggregating to $9.2 million. Partially
offsetting were a net loss of $0.7 million, increases in billed accounts
receivable, a reduction in accounts payable and other liabilities amounting to
$6.8 million. Operating cash includes $2.8 million received from the escrow
fund settlement.
Net cash from investing activities.
During the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, investing activities used approximately
$0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively, for purchases of property, plant
and equipment.
Net cash from financing activities.
During the six
months ended June 30, 2010 cash used in financing activities amounted to $7.7
million. The long term debt was paid
down using $10.0 million that was partially offset by a net decrease in
restricted cash of $2.2 million. In accordance with the amended loan agreement,
the Company funded $3.5 million in additional pledged cash during the second
quarter of 2010 and transferred $5.75 million from the restricted cash account
to partially pay the term loan down on June 17, 2010. During the six months
ended June 30, 2009, financing activities used cash primarily attributable to
establishing $3.0 million of restricted cash at Bank of America associated with
the loan amendment noted above.
Backlog.
Our Transcrypt-branded
products typically have a short turnaround cycle. In contrast, our EFJohnson
products and systems, and 3eTI government services contracts, typically have a
longer turnaround cycle due to customer system integration and contract
delivery requirements that may span multiple years. Backlog as of June 30, 2010
was $52.1 million, compared to a backlog of $70.2 million at December 31,
2009 and $49.5 million at June 30, 2009.
Dividend policy.
Since our initial public offering,
we have not declared or paid any dividends on our common stock. We presently
intend to retain earnings for use in our operations and to finance our
business. Any change in our dividend policy is within the discretion of our
board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, debt
service
23
and
capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, if any, business
conditions and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As
part of our on-going business, we do not participate in transactions that
generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships,
such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest
entities (VIE), that would have been established for the purpose of
facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
limited purposes. As of June 30, 2010, we are not involved in any VIE
transactions and do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
See
Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Financial
Information, Item 1 Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for a full
description of recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of
adoption and estimated effects on results of operation and financial condition,
which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We
are exposed to certain market risks in the ordinary course of our business.
These risks result primarily from changes in interest rates and foreign
currency exchange rates. We do not currently hold any derivatives or other
financial instruments purely for trading or speculative purposes.
Our
financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term
investments, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and long-term
obligations. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve
principal while at the same time maximizing yields without increasing risk. As
of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, we had an investment
portfolio of short-term investments in a variety of interest-bearing money
market funds. Due to the short duration of our investment portfolio, a
hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would not be material to our financial
condition or results of operations.
The
Company has $5.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding as of June 30,
2010, which debt matures on August 31, 2010. The debt is variable based on
the LIBOR rate. Assuming interest rate volatility in the future is similar to
what has been seen in recent years, the Company does not anticipate that short
term changes in interest rates will materially affect its consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Liquidity and
Capital Resources for further discussion of our financing facilities and
capital structure.
Although
a substantial majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars,
fluctuations in the value of international currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar may affect the price, competitiveness and profitability of our products
sold in international markets. Furthermore, the uncertainty of monetary
exchange values has caused, and may in the future cause, some foreign customers
to delay new orders or delay payment for existing orders. The Company does not
use financial instruments to hedge foreign currency exchange rate changes.
While most international sales are supported by letters of credit or cash in
advance, the purchase of our products by international customers presents
increased risks, which include:
·
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
·
tariffs and other trade barriers;
·
political and economic instability in foreign
markets;
·
difficulties in establishing foreign distribution
channels;
·
longer payment cycles or uncertainty in the
collection of accounts receivable;
·
increased costs associated with maintaining international
marketing efforts;
·
cultural differences in the conduct of business;
·
natural disasters or acts of terrorism;
·
difficulties in protecting intellectual property;
and
·
susceptibility to orders being cancelled as a result
of foreign currency fluctuations since a substantial majority of our quotations
and invoices are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Export
of our products is subject to the U.S. Export Administration regulations and
some of our secured communications products require a license or a license
exception in order to ship internationally. We cannot assure that such
24
approvals
will be available to us or our products in the future in a timely manner or at
all or that the federal government will not revise its export policies or the
list of products, persons or countries for which export approval is required.
Our inability to obtain required export approvals would adversely affect our
international sales, which may have a material adverse effect on us. In
addition, foreign companies not subject to United States export restrictions
may have a competitive advantage in the international secured communications
market. We cannot predict the impact of these factors on the international
market for our products.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) reviewed
and evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule
240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this
evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or
submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions
rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management including
our principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.
Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
As
required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act, our CEO and CFO, also
conducted an evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting to
determine whether any change occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
As
part of our normal operations, we update our internal controls as necessary to
accommodate any modifications to our business processes or accounting
procedures. No change occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
In
preparation of our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30,
2010, management believes that our internal controls over these processes are
operating and effective.

ITEM 1.
LEGAL
PROCEEDING
See
Note 15 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I Financial
Information, Item 1 Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q for disclosure
of legal proceedings and estimated effects on results of operation and
financial condition, which is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 1A.
RISK
FACTORS
Risk Factors Related to Our Business
Our operations and financial
results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, that are described in
Item 1A of the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2009,
that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flow or
results of operations, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment
in our common stock.
The risk factor set forth
below has been updated from these previously disclosed in the Risk Factors
section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2009 with more
current information.
Our business
could be subject to increased risk if the Merger is not consummated.
The Company does not
anticipate that it will have sufficient cash on hand to pay off the $5.0 million
term loan when it comes due on August 31, 2010, without dedicating all or
substantially all of our cash flow from operations to the payment of our
indebtedness, thereby substantially reducing the funds available for
operations, working capital, capital expenditures, research and development,
sales and marketing initiatives and general corporate or other purposes. As a
result, the Company
25
explored options available
to it to refinance the debt, or to raise additional funds through private
equity or debt financing, sales of assets, or other strategic alternatives.
These efforts resulted in the Companys entry into the Merger Agreement.
In the event the Merger is
not consummated, the Company will be required to pay the remaining outstanding
balance to the Bank on or before August 31, 2010. There can be no assurance
that the Company would be able to obtain a new or extended credit facility upon
the termination of the Loan Agreement. If we raise additional funds through
further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing
stockholders could suffer significant dilution in their percentage ownership of
our company, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights,
preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. In
addition, any debt financing that we may secure in the future could have
restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other
financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to
obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities.
If we sell certain assets of
the Company to satisfy our obligations, that may materially reduce our revenues
in the future, which, to the extent not offset by cost reductions or revenue
from new or existing customers, could materially reduce our cash flows and
adversely affect our financial position. This may limit our ability to raise
capital or fund our operations, working capital needs and capital expenditures
in the future. Our current cash flow and capital resources are limited, and we
require additional funds to pursue our business. We may not be able to secure
further financing in the future. If we are not able to obtain additional
financing on reasonable terms, we may not be able to execute our business
strategy, conduct our operations at the level desired, or even to continue
business.
Our report of registered
public accounting firm on our Form 10-K for the fiscal year 2009, indicates
that our recurring losses from operations, working capital deficit and maturing
term loan raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Failure to complete the Merger for regulatory or other reasons could
adversely affect the Companys stock price and its future business and
financial results.
Completion of the Merger is
conditioned upon, among other things, the consent of the Companys stockholders
and the satisfaction of certain conditions related to the Companys
indebtedness and levels of cash on hand at the closing of the Merger. There is
no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to obtain such
stockholder approval or meet all of the other conditions. The Company will also
remain liable for significant transaction costs, including legal, accounting
and financial advisory fees. In addition, the Company would have to evaluate
its remaining strategic options, which would include the need to refinance its
remaining obligations under its Loan Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. that
is due to be repaid in full on August 31, 2010. Further, the market price of
the Companys common stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether
the Merger will occur. Consequently, the completion of, or failure to complete,
the merger could result in a significant change in the market price of the
Companys common stock.
