PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

We design, develop, produce and market innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions. We believe many of our solutions play a vital role in providing or enhancing communication capabilities when terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable, inefficient or too expensive.

We conduct our business through three complementary segments: telecommunications transmission, mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers. We sell our products to a diverse customer base in the global commercial and government communications markets. We believe we are a leader in the market segments that we serve.

In the past several years, we have expanded our product lines, completed tactical acquisitions, increased our research and development efforts and broadened our customer base. These actions have resulted in significant growth over the past five years. Our fiscal 2007 sales of $445.7 million and net income of $65.2 million are the highest in the history of our company. As of July 31, 2007, we have $342.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents on hand.

Our Internet website is www.comtechtel.com and we make available free of charge, on our website, our annual reports, quarterly reports, current reports and any related amendments. Unless specifically noted, the reference to our website address does not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained therein into this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, any materials filed with the SEC may be read and copied by the public at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. We are incorporated in the state of Delaware and were founded in 1967.

Industry Background

The global commercial and government communications markets have experienced rapid technological advances and changes during the past decade. The markets we directly operate in have been affected by many factors including the following:

 

 

 

 

The Global Development of Information-Intensive Economies. Businesses, governments and consumers have become increasingly reliant upon the Internet and multimedia applications to communicate voice, video and data to their customers, suppliers, and employees around the world. We expect demand for these high-bandwidth applications to continue to grow.

 

 

Demand for Increased Communications Cost Efficiencies. Due to the significant increase in global voice, video and data communications traffic, communications service providers have been forced to increase their investments in transmission infrastructure in order to maintain the quality and availability of their services. As a result, communications service providers are continually seeking technology solutions that increase the efficiency of their networks in order to reduce overall network operating costs. In light of the relatively high cost of satellite transmission versus other transmission channels, we believe that communications service providers will make their satellite equipment vendor selections based upon the operating efficiency and quality of the products and solutions.

 

 

The Emergence of Information-Based, Network-Centric Warfare. Militaries around the world, including the United States (“U.S.”) military, have become increasingly reliant on information and communications technology to provide critical advantages in battlefield, support and logistics operations. Situational awareness, defined by knowledge of the location and strength of friendly and unfriendly forces during battle, can increase the likelihood of success during a conflict. As evidenced in the recent Iraqi conflict, stretched battle and supply lines have used satellite-based or over-the-horizon microwave communications solutions to span distances that normal radio communications, such as terrestrial-based systems, are unable to cover. We expect the need for these technologies to remain high due to the lack of terrestrial-based communications infrastructure in many parts of the world where the U.S. and other militaries operate.

1



 

 

 

 

The Need for Developing Countries To Upgrade Their Commercial and Defense Communication Systems. We believe many developing countries are committing greater resources and are now placing a higher priority on developing and upgrading their communications systems than in the past. Many of these countries lack the financial resources to install extensive land-based networks, particularly where they have large geographic areas or unfriendly terrain that make the installation of telecommunications infrastructure more costly. We believe that satellite and over-the-horizon microwave technologies often provide the most affordable and effective solutions to meet the requirements for communications services in these countries.

We continue to respond to these trends across our three business segments by focusing internal and customer funded research and development resources to produce secure, scalable and reliable technologies to meet these evolving market needs.

Corporate Strategies

We manage our business with the following principal corporate business strategies:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seek leadership positions in markets where we can provide specialized products and services;

 

 

 

 

 

 

Identify and participate in emerging technologies that enhance or expand our product portfolio;

 

 

 

 

 

 

Operate business segments flexibly to maximize responsiveness to our customers;

 

 

 

 

 

 

Strengthen our diversified and balanced customer base; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pursue acquisitions of businesses and technologies.

We believe that, as a result of these business strategies, we are well positioned to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities in the global commercial and government communications markets.

Competitive Strengths

The successful execution of our principal corporate strategies is based on our competitive strengths, which are described below:

 

 

 

 

 

Leadership Positions in All Three Business Segments – In our telecommunications transmission segment, we believe we are the leading provider of satellite earth station modems, over-the-horizon microwave systems, and integrated circuits incorporating Turbo Product Code (“TPC”) forward error correction technology. In our mobile data communications segment, we are the sole supplier of the U.S. Army logistics community’s Movement Tracking System (“MTS”) and continue to integrate our technologies and products with other U.S. military battlefield command and control applications and systems. In our RF microwave amplifiers segment, we believe we are one of the largest independent suppliers of broadband, high-power, high-performance RF microwave amplifiers.

 

 

 

 

 

Innovative Leader with Emphasis on Research and Development – We have established a leading technology position in our fields through internal and customer funded research and development activities. We believe we were the first company to begin full-scale deployment of TPC in digital satellite earth station modems, which can significantly reduce satellite transponder lease costs or increase satellite earth station modem data throughput. Our field-proven over-the-horizon microwave systems utilize a proprietary 16 megabits per second (“Mbps”) adaptive digital modem. Our mobile data communications system is the leading L-band satellite-based mobile data communications system used by the U.S. Army logistics community for near real-time messaging and location tracking of mobile assets.

 

 

 

 

 

Diverse Customer Base with Long-Standing Relationships – We have established long-standing relationships with leading domestic and international system and network suppliers in the satellite, defense and aerospace industries, as well as the U.S. government and foreign governments. Our products are in service around the globe and we continue to expand our geographic distribution. We believe that our customers recognize our ability to develop new technologies and to meet stringent program requirements.

Core Manufacturing Expertise That Supports All Three Business Segments – Our high-volume manufacturing center located in Tempe, Arizona utilizes state-of-the-art design and production techniques, including analog, digital and RF microwave production, hardware assembly and full-service engineering. All three of our business segments utilize this manufacturing center for certain high-volume production which allows us to secure volume discounts on key components, control the quality of our manufacturing process and maximize the utilization of our manufacturing capacity.

 

 

 

 

 

Successful Acquisition Track Record – We have demonstrated that we can successfully integrate acquired businesses, achieve increased efficiencies and capitalize on market and technological synergies. We believe that our disciplined approach in identifying, integrating and capitalizing on acquisitions provides us with a proven platform for additional growth.

Our Three Business Segments

We conduct our business through three complementary business segments: telecommunications transmission, mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers. By operating independently with their own management teams, our business segments are able to maintain a high level of focus on their respective businesses and customers. Our corporate senior management team supports the business segments by, among other things, actively seeking to exploit synergies that exist between the segments, including in areas such as manufacturing, technology, sales, marketing and customer support. Financial information about our business segments is provided in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-24.

Telecommunications Transmission Segment

Overview

Our telecommunications transmission segment, which is currently our largest business segment, provides sophisticated equipment and systems that are used to enhance satellite transmission efficiency and that enable wireless communications in environments where terrestrial communications are unavailable, inefficient or too expensive. These products and systems are used in a wide variety of commercial and government applications including the transmission of voice, video and data over the Internet (such as Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) and broadband video), long distance telephony, the backhaul of cellular traffic using satellites, broadcast, cable and highly secure defense applications.

The following are the key products and systems, along with related markets and applications, for our telecommunications transmission segment:

Satellite Earth Station Equipment and Systems – We provide customers a one-stop shopping approach by offering a broad range of satellite earth station equipment, including modems, frequency converters, power amplifiers, transceivers, access devices, voice gateways, IP encapsulators and media routers that are used in commercial and government satellite applications. We believe we are the leading provider of satellite earth station modems. Our modems incorporate TPC, an advanced form of forward error correction. We believe we were the first company to offer TPC in satellite earth station modems which can significantly reduce satellite transponder lease costs or increase satellite earth station modem data throughput. During the past several years, we have introduced a new line of satellite modems that allow for greater data transmission than ever before. For example, some of our modems now include technology including low density parity check (“LDPC”), a next-generation form of forward error correction, as well as Carrier-in-CarrierTM, a technique in our modems that allows satellite earth stations to transmit and receive at the same frequency, effectively reducing transponder bandwidth requirements by 50%. Our time division multiple access (“TDMA”) and single channel per carrier (“SCPC”) based communication products and software enable our customers to utilize satellite network bandwidth management techniques to more cost-effectively enable, among others, applications such as video teleconferencing, distance learning, telemedicine and Internet content delivery.

3



Over-the-Horizon Microwave Equipment and Systems – We design, develop, produce and market over-the-horizon microwave communications equipment and systems that can transmit signals over unfriendly or inaccessible terrain from 20 to 600 miles by reflecting the transmitted signals off of the troposphere, an atmospheric layer located approximately seven miles above the earth’s surface. Over-the-horizon microwave communications is a cost-effective, secure alternative to satellite communications as it does not require the leasing of satellite transponder space. Traditional end-users of our equipment have included foreign governments who have used our over-the-horizon microwave systems to, among other things, transport radar tracking information from remote border locations, and oil and gas companies, who use our systems to enable communication links for offshore oilrigs and other remote exploration activities. Our continued advancements in over-the-horizon microwave technology are enabling new applications for these systems, such as the transmission of video. The recent introduction of our 16 Mbps adaptive digital troposcatter modem upgrade kit to the U.S. military market resulted in our receipt of significant orders.

Forward Error Correction Technology – We design, develop and market forward error correction integrated circuit solutions which allow for more efficient transmission of voice, video and data in wireless communication channels. We have been issued several U.S. patents relating to our forward error correction technology. We incorporate this technology into our satellite earth station modems, which we believe increases the efficiency of our modems for the transmission of satellite traffic. We have also integrated TPC technology into our over-the-horizon microwave systems. We believe that the cost efficiency to our customers of this technology provides us with a competitive advantage in the markets we serve. In addition, we market data compression integrated circuits which are used by leading manufactures of copiers and data storage products.

Business Strategies

Our telecommunications transmission segment business strategies are as follows:

Expand Leadership Position in Satellite Earth Station Market – Our satellite earth station modems, which incorporate leading technologies and standards such as TPC, LDPC, Digital Video Broadcasting Standard 2 (DVB-S2) and Carrier-in-Carrier,TM have established us as a leading provider to domestic and international commercial satellite systems and network customers, as well as U.S. and foreign governments. Our product offerings have been expanded to include access devices and voice gateways which allow customers to consolidate multi-service network traffic such as voice, video and data. When combined with our satellite earth station modems, the solution is ideal for backhauling cellular traffic using satellites, which can reduce customer bandwidth requirements by up to 90%. We have recently introduced our CDM-700 satellite modem that will allow our customers to transmit data at 155 Mbps per second – faster than any other modem we have ever developed. In order to better serve the U.S government market, we are focusing sales efforts on the SLM-5650, a high speed, compact, rugged modem that is ideally suited for many government and military applications such as fixed, at-the-halt and on-the-move communications. We expect to continue to expand our leadership position by offering new products and solutions to meet the expected increased demand from commercial, government and defense customers.

Capitalize on Increased Demand for Over-the-Horizon Microwave Systems and Upgrades – As the leading supplier in this specialized product line, we expect to continue to capitalize on increased demand for new systems, as well as demand for upgrades to a large global installed base of older systems. These systems are sometimes referred to as troposcatter systems and are extremely reliable and secure when compared to satellite-based systems. Our systems, which include our patented TPC forward error correction technology, are able to transmit video and other broadband applications at throughput speeds in excess of 16 Mbps. To date, the largest single end-customer for our over-the-horizon microwave systems has been a North African country which we believe is between major phases of a multi-year roll-out of a large project. Although it is difficult for us to predict the timing of future awards relating to the North African country’s project, we are actively bidding on the next stage. In fiscal 2007, the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) began purchasing our 16 Mbps adaptive digital modem upgrade kits to be used on a portion of the DoD’s inventory of AN/TRC-170 digital troposcatter terminals and we are in continuing discussions with the DoD to upgrade additional terminals and other components within the AN/TRC-170. The increased capability of the upgraded AN/TRC-170 terminals could reduce the DoD’s dependence on satellite communications in areas of conflict. As a result of our success with our North African end-customer and the DoD, other foreign countries and militaries have shown interest in our over-the-horizon microwave systems technology and we believe the overall market for our products and systems is expanding.

4



Continue to Develop Technology for Efficient Satellite Bandwidth Utilization – As demand for satellite bandwidth continues to increase, technological advances will be needed to provide affordable bandwidth solutions for our customers. We intend to continue to develop next generation advances of our forward error correction technology and believe this will have important utility in responding to the increasing demand for satellite bandwidth utilization, particularly by U.S. military, security and intelligence agencies. We intend to continue to enhance our Internet, TDMA and SCPC-based software and products which enable customers to utilize bandwidth management techniques to enable, among others, applications such as video teleconferencing, distance learning, telemedicine and Internet content delivery. We have introduced our new CDM-Qx modem that incorporates the above-mentioned Carrier-in-CarrierTM technology. This licensed technology, when combined with our advanced forward error correction and modulation techniques, will enable us to integrate additional bandwidth savings functionality into our satellite modems. In fiscal 2007, we expanded our satellite earth station product offerings and began selling IP encapsulators and media routers, that, when combined with our bandwidth efficient satellite earth station modems, can reduce operating expenses for service providers delivering IP-based broadcast connectivity.

Mobile Data Communications Segment

Overview

Our mobile data communications segment, currently our fastest growing segment, provides customers with an integrated solution to enable global satellite-based communications when mobile, real-time, secure transmission is required. Products and systems include mobile satellite transceivers, the supply and operation of satellite packet data networks (including arranging for and providing satellite capacity), ruggedized computers and satellite earth station network gateways, and associated installation, training and maintenance. Our technology and products have been integrated into several U.S. military logistics and battlefield command and control applications and have been installed on a variety of vehicles including Abrams tanks, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, helicopters such as the Apache, Black Hawk and Chinook helicopters and High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (“HMMWV”). When equipped with this technology, soldiers operating these vehicles are able to be continually tracked and maintain communications with a command center and fellow soldiers in the field. Our extremely reliable proprietary network service employs full end-to-end path redundancy as well as back-up capability in the event of a major catastrophe, and we maintain a 24 x 7 network operations and customer care center that provides customers with ongoing support any time day and night.

The key products in our mobile data communications segment include the following:

MT-2011 – A single sealed mobile satellite transceiver with no moving parts, the MT 2011 is used by customers to transmit and receive near real-time packet data and is proven to operate under rugged environmental and operating conditions on land, in the air, and on the water. It has a single interface port for connecting the terminal to power and to devices such as mobile and handheld computers. The MT 2011 can operate anywhere in the world over any available L-band satellite systems.

MT-2012 – Incorporating all of the features of our field-proven MT-2011 mobile satellite transceiver, this enhanced transceiver features embedded radio frequency identification devices (“RFID”) and selected availability anti-spoofing modules (“SAASM”). The built-in RFID interrogator provides total asset visibility by communicating with RFID tags attached to inventory, such as cargo containers, and transmits data back to the requesting user. The transceiver also contains an expanded memory buffer which allows the MT-2012 to accept larger data files for transmission over satellite.

MTM-203 – This miniaturized L-band transceiver incorporates the key features of our MT-2011. It incorporates state-of-the-art technology created for users where both restrictions in size and weight are critical. We have recently submitted our MTM-203 satellite transceiver module for Federal Information Processing Standards (“FIPS”) 140-2 validation. We believe we will receive this validation and it will allow for increased sales of the MTM-203 to users who must operate on certain secure military networks.

geoOpsTM Enterprise Location Management System This web-based software provides an integrated capability to command, control and manage mobile ground vehicles. The software integrates the functions of route planning, transportation control, dispatching, travel and road condition monitoring and is updated via an easy to use electronic map.

The following are the key applications for our mobile data communications segment’s products and services:

The U.S. Army’s Movement Tracking System (“MTS”) – We have continuously provided a turnkey solution to the U.S. Army’s logistics community since 1999 under a competitively awarded contract. We believe the MTS system, which is currently being used by U.S. forces in Iraq and in certain other areas of the world, is the leading L-band satellite-based mobile data communication system for near real-time messaging and location tracking of logistics-oriented mobile assets. In August 2007, we were awarded a new indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contract, with a ceiling value of $605.1 million, to continue to provide and support MTS products and services through July 12, 2010. Although we anticipate the roll-out and ongoing maintenance of the MTS system to continue, the contract can be terminated at any time, is not subject to automatic renewal or extension, and orders are subject to unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions by the U.S. government.

Battlefield Command and Control Applications – Pursuant to various contracts with the U.S. Army Communications Electronics Command (“CECOM”), our technology has been integrated into the U.S. Army’s Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade and Below command and control systems, also known as Blue Force Tracking (“BFT”). Our efforts include the supply of mobile satellite transceivers, the lease of satellite capacity, the supply and operation of the satellite packet data network and network gateways, and associated systems support and maintenance. In August 2007, we were awarded an IDIQ contract to continue to provide products and services in support of the BFT program through December 31, 2011. The BFT contract has a ceiling value of $216.0 million and similar to our MTS contract, it can be terminated at any time, is not subject to automatic renewal or extension, and orders are subject to unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions.

Homeland Security and Multi-National Applications – Our products and services can also be used to facilitate communications in the event that natural disasters or other situations, such as a terrorist attack, disable or limit existing terrestrial communications. For example, the Army National Guard has purchased our mobile data communication products for use on the MTS system to better prepare for and react to disaster recovery operations at the local, state and national levels. In addition, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) is incorporating our geoOpsTM Enterprise Location Management System into a multi-national satellite-based friendly force tracking system. The geoOpsTM software can also be used to share real-time operational data allowing the same view of unfolding operations or emergency scenarios amongst friendly forces.

Commercial Satellite-Based Mobile Data Applications – We believe that there may be opportunities to leverage our core strengths and expertise in satellite-based mobile tracking and messaging services into commercial market applications. These include vehicle tracking and communication for domestic and international transportation companies, private fleets and heavy equipment fleets. We continue to carefully explore this market opportunity and seek to identify markets that have a particular requirement for our high quality, real-time and secure satellite-based communications network. Such markets could include fleet operators whose vehicles transport dangerous or hazardous materials, such as armaments, explosives, or flammable materials (e.g., oil or industrial chemicals). We will continue to market our solutions in a methodical way and target them to those customers whose needs best fit our technology offerings. We do not expect a significant amount of commercial sales in this area in fiscal 2008.

Business Strategies

Our mobile data communications segment business strategies are as follows:

Continue to Capitalize on Opportunities with the U.S. Army – The number of logistics and combat vehicles that use our system, as a percentage of the total number of vehicles the U.S. Army deploys, remains relatively small. We believe that the reliable and effective performance of our system has demonstrated to the U.S. Army the value of a mobile global satellite-based communications network when real-time, secure transmission is required. In fiscal 2007, the BFT program’s prime contractor has awarded a competitor a contract to develop a new prototype network and related equipment to increase network capacity for the U.S. Army’s BFT tracking system. We are currently working closely with the U.S. Army to provide additional enhancements to both our network capabilities and communications performance and believe that we have and are developing new products that provide compelling technological advancement to our existing products and that is, importantly, backwards compatible with the large number of existing BFT and MTS systems in active deployment today. We also continue to develop new products that feature enhancements, including miniaturization and updated software that can provide increased speed, functionality and a more intuitive and easier to use graphical user interface for end-users. Ultimately, we believe that by seeking to work collaboratively with the U.S. Army to ensure that its short-term and long-term needs are addressed, we will enhance our competitive positioning for a potential future recompete, renewal or extension of the MTS and BFT contracts.

Leverage our Current Installed Base into other Military Commands – In light of the integration of our mobile satellite transceivers into the U.S. Army’s BFT tracking system command and control systems used in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere around the world, we believe and have demonstrated that there are a number of opportunities for us to market our products and solutions to other military commands, both in the U.S. and internationally. The Army National Guard and the First Marine Expeditionary Forces have received funding to purchase our products and services. Both the Republic of Georgia and the Australian Defense Force have recently begun deployments of our products. Also, our geoOpsTM Enterprise Location Management System software platform has been incorporated into NATO’s International Security Assistance Force Tracking System, a satellite-based mobile communication system. We continue to work with a number of other international military commands to increase brand and product awareness. Although the sales cycle relating to these other military commands is long and difficult to predict, we believe that our products and technologies can meet other potential customer country requirements.

Market and Develop New Commercial Satellite-Based Mobile Data Applications – Although the market for commercial satellite-based mobile data applications is extremely competitive, we believe the performance of our system in the military setting may establish our system as an attractive choice for users in certain commercial markets. We are currently focusing our efforts, in a methodical way, on selling to those potential customers whose needs best fit with our technology offerings.

RF Microwave Amplifiers Segment

Overview

We believe we are one of the largest independent companies designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifiers in the microwave and RF spectrums. Our amplifiers reproduce signals with greater power, current or voltage amplitude, and are extremely complex and critical to the performance of the systems into which they are incorporated. We sell our amplifiers to domestic and foreign commercial and government users. The following are the principal markets and applications for our amplifiers:

Defense Applications – U.S. and foreign military customers use our amplifiers in a variety of telecommunications systems (such as transmitting and boosting signals) and electronic warfare systems (such as simulation, radar, jamming and in identification friend or foe (“IFF”) systems). The U.S. military also uses our amplifiers in systems designed to help protect U.S. troops from radio-controlled road side bombs. Our integrated radio frequency assemblies, which consist of one of our high-power RF amplifiers and a UHF radio frequency assembly integrated into a single module, are used in the Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (“EPLRS”). The EPLRS radio network is a highly reliable communication system used by the DoD that automatically reconfigures itself to overcome the line-of-sight limitations of UHF communications, as well as jamming threats. We believe that ongoing military activities and heightened homeland security concerns are resulting in increased interest in our amplifier products.

Sophisticated Commercial Applications – Our amplifiers are key components in sophisticated commercial applications. For example, our amplifiers are used in oncology treatment systems that allow doctors to give patients who are suffering from cancer higher doses of radiation while focusing closer on the tumors, thereby avoiding damage to healthy tissue. In addition, our amplifiers are used to amplify signals carrying voice, video or data for air-to-satellite-to-ground communications. For example, our amplifiers, when incorporated as part of an aircraft satellite communication system, can provide passengers with e-mail, Internet access and video conferencing. Manufacturers also use our amplifiers to test their electronic systems for electromagnetic compatibility and susceptibility to interference. Such testing may be used to determine whether the various electronic systems in a commercial aircraft are likely to be affected by the use of laptop computers, wireless telephones or video games by passengers in flight.

Business Strategies

We manage our RF microwave amplifiers segment with the following principal strategies:

Continue to Penetrate the Market for Outsourced Amplifier Production – Because solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifiers are important to the performance of the larger systems into which they are incorporated, many large systems companies often prefer to manufacture these amplifiers in-house. We believe that our focus on and expertise in designing and manufacturing solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifiers, as well as our high-volume manufacturing capability, often make us a cost-effective and technologically superior alternative to such in-house  manufacturing. Our  current  customers  include  Rockwell   Collins, Inc., Thales  Group, European Aeronautic Defense

7



and Space Company, Telephonics Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, BAE Systems PLC, EDO Corporation and Raytheon.

Expand Marketing and Sales Efforts in the Defense Market – We believe there are a number of long-term opportunities in the defense and military markets, particularly for solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifiers used in electronic warfare applications, and that we can increase our share of this market by pursuing partnering arrangements with existing and new prime contractors. For example, we were recently selected by one of our customers to participate in the Counter Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare 2.1 program (“CREW 2.1”) and are supplying broadband, solid-state high-power radio signal jamming amplifiers and switches to be used to help protect U.S. troops from the ever-evolving threat of radio controlled road side bombs. The participation in this program allows us to demonstrate our latest developments in the next generation of amplifier technology and our high volume production capabilities.

Enhance Position as an Innovative Supplier by Increasing Research and Development – We will continue to pursue customer funded research and development to fuel new product development, as well as continue our internally funded research and development activities. We expect this emphasis on research and development to enhance our existing product lines, develop new capabilities and solidify and strengthen our position in our principal markets.

Acquisitions

We have made acquisitions of businesses and enabling technologies during the past three years and have followed a disciplined approach in identifying, executing and capitalizing on these acquisitions.

In February 2005, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Tolt Technologies, Inc. (“Tolt”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3.7 million, including transaction costs of $0.2 million. In fiscal 2006, we significantly de-emphasized stand-alone sales of Tolt’s turnkey employee mobility solutions, and are focusing our efforts on selling commercial satellite-based mobile data applications. This operation is part of our mobile data communications segment.

In August 2006, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (“Insite”), a logistics application software company, for $3.2 million, including transaction costs of $0.3 million. As of July 31, 2007, we have paid $2.9 million and, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, we made the final guaranteed payment of $0.3 million. In addition to the guaranteed purchase price, we may be required to make certain earn-out payments based on the achievement of future sales targets. The first part of the earn-out cannot exceed $1.4 million and is limited to a five-year period ending August 2011. The second part of the earn-out, which is for a ten-year period ending August 2016, is unlimited and based on a per unit future sales target primarily relating to new commercial satellite-based mobile data communications markets. Insite has developed the geoOps™ Enterprise Location Monitoring System, a software-based solution that allows customers to integrate legacy data systems with near-real time logistics and operational data systems. This operation was combined with our existing business and is part of our mobile data communications segment.

In February 2007, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Digicast Networks, Inc. (“Digicast”), a manufacturer of digital video broadcasting equipment, for $1.0 million. This operation was combined with our existing business and is part of our telecommunications transmission segment.

Sales, Marketing and Customer Support

Sales and marketing strategies vary with particular markets served and include direct sales through sales, marketing and engineering personnel, sales through independent representatives, value-added resellers or a combination of the foregoing. We intend to continue to expand international marketing efforts by engaging additional independent sales representatives, distributors and value-added resellers and by establishing additional foreign sales offices. As appropriate and as guided by corporate senior management, our three business segments capitalize on manufacturing, technology, sales, marketing and customer support synergies between them.

Our management, technical and marketing personnel establish and maintain relationships with customers. Our strategy includes a commitment to provide ongoing customer support for our systems and equipment. This support involves providing direct access to engineering staff or trained technical representatives to resolve technical or operational issues.

Our over-the-horizon microwave systems, mobile data communications products and services, solid-state, high-power, broadband RF microwave amplifier product lines and satellite earth station products that use relatively new technology have long sales cycles. Once a product is designed into a system, customers may be reluctant to change the incumbent supplier due to the extensive qualification process and potential redesign required in using alternative sources. Accordingly, management is actively involved in key aspects of relations with our major customers.

International sales include sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to international customers. One customer, a prime contractor, represented 5.4% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2007 and 10.2% of consolidated net sales in both fiscal 2006 and 2005.

Backlog

Our backlog as of July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $129.0 million and $186.0 million, respectively. We expect that a majority of the backlog as of July 31, 2007 will be recognized as sales during fiscal 2008. At July 31, 2007, 47.9% of the backlog consisted of U.S. government contracts, subcontracts and government funded programs, 42.9% consisted of orders for use by international customers (including sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to international customers) and 9.2% consisted of orders for use by U.S. commercial customers.

Almost all of the contracts in our backlog are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the customer or for default in the event that we are unable to perform under the contract. Backlog for our U.S. government customers includes amounts appropriated by Congress and allotted to the contract by the procuring government agency. Our backlog does not include the value of options that may be exercised in the future on multi-year contracts, nor does it include the value of additional purchase orders that we may receive under IDIQ contracts or basic ordering agreements. Almost all of our U.S. government revenues in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 were derived from firm fixed-price contracts. Under these types of contracts, we perform for an agreed-upon price and we can derive benefits from cost savings, but bear the risk of cost overruns. Our cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, which to date have been insignificant, typically provide for reimbursement of allowable costs incurred plus a negotiated fee.

Variations in backlog from time to time are attributable, in part, to the timing of contract proposals, the timing of contract awards and the delivery schedules on specific contracts. Our satellite earth station equipment product line operates under short lead times and usually generates sales out of inventory. As a result, we believe our backlog at any point in the fiscal year is not necessarily indicative of the total sales anticipated for any particular future period.

Manufacturing and Service

Our manufacturing operations consist principally of the assembly and testing of electronic products that we design and build from purchased fabricated parts, printed circuits and electronic components.

We consider our facilities to be well maintained and adequate for current and planned production requirements. All of our manufacturing facilities, including those that serve the military market, must comply with stringent customer specifications. We employ formal quality management programs and other training programs, including the International Standard Organization’s (“ISO-9000”) quality procedure registration programs.

Our ability to deliver products to customers on a timely basis is dependent, in part, upon the availability and timely delivery by subcontractors and suppliers (including the U.S. government) of the components and subsystems that we use in manufacturing our products. Electronic components and raw materials used in our products are generally obtained from independent suppliers. Some components are standard items and are available from a number of suppliers. Others are manufactured to our specifications by subcontractors. Although we obtain certain components and subsystems from a single source or a limited number of sources, we believe that most components and equipment are available from multiple sources. Certain U.S. government contracts require us to incorporate government furnished parts into our products. Delays in our receipt of such parts can adversely impact the timing of our performance on the related contracts.

Research and Development

We reported research and development expenses for financial reporting purposes of $32.5 million, $25.8 million and $21.2 million in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing 7.3%, 6.6% and 6.9% of total net sales, respectively, for these periods.

A portion of our research and development efforts relates to the adaptation of our basic technology to specialized customer requirements and is recoverable under contracts, and such expenditures are not included in our research and development expenses for financial reporting purposes. During fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, we were reimbursed by customers for such activities in the amounts of $4.2 million, $4.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Our aggregate research and development expenditures (internal and customer funded) were $36.6 million, $30.2 million and $24.2 million or 8.2%, 7.7% and 7.8% of total net sales in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Intellectual Property

We rely upon trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. The products we sell require significant engineering design and manufacturing expertise. The majority of these technological capabilities, however, are not protected by patents and licenses. We rely on the expertise of our employees and our learned experiences in both the design and manufacture of our products and the delivery of our services.

Some of our telecommunications transmission technology is protected by patents, which are significant to protecting our proprietary technology. We have been issued several U.S. patents relating to forward error correction technology that is utilized in our TPC-enabled satellite modems. The earliest of these patents expires in 2012.

Competition

Our businesses are highly competitive and are characterized by rapid technological change. A significant technological breakthrough by others, including new companies or our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our growth and financial condition depend on, among other things, our ability to keep pace with such changes and developments and to respond to the sophisticated requirements of an increasing variety of electronic equipment users and transmission technologies.

Certain of our competitors are substantially larger, have significantly greater financial, marketing, research and development, technological and operating resources and broader product lines than we do. The competitors in our telecommunications transmission segment include ViaSat, Inc., Radyne Corporation, Miteq Inc., iDirect, Inc. and Paradise Datacom LLC. The competitors in our mobile data communications segment include Qualcomm, Inc. and EMS Technologies, Inc. The competitors in our RF microwave amplifiers segment include Herley Industries, Inc., Aethercomm and Empower RF Systems, Inc. Some large companies such as Raytheon Company, General Dynamics Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation have subsidiaries or divisions that compete against us in one or more business segments. In addition, new and potential competitors are always emerging.

Certain of our customers, such as prime contractors who currently outsource their engineering and manufacturing requirements to us, have technological capabilities in our product areas and could choose to replace our products with their own. In some cases, we partner or team with companies (both large and mid-tier) to compete against other teams for large defense programs. In some cases, these same companies may be competitors as it relates to certain aspects of our business.

We believe that competition in all of our markets is based primarily on technology innovation, product performance, reputation, delivery times, customer support and price. Due to our flexible organizational structure and proprietary know-how, we believe we have the ability to develop, produce and deliver products on a cost-effective basis faster than many of our competitors.

Employees

At July 31, 2007, we had 1,230 employees (including temporary employees and contractors), 693 of whom were engaged in production and production support, 312 in research and development and other engineering support and 225 in marketing and administrative functions. None of our employees are represented by a labor union. We believe that our employee relations are good.

Regulatory Matters

We are subject to a variety of local, state and federal governmental regulations. Our products that are incorporated into wireless communications systems must comply with various governmental regulations, including those of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”). Our manufacturing facilities, which may store, handle, emit, generate and dispose of hazardous substances that are used in the manufacture of our products, are subject to a variety of local, state and federal regulations, including those issued by the Environmental Protection Agency. Our international sales are subject to U.S. and foreign regulations and may require licenses (including export licenses) from U.S. government agencies or require the payment of certain tariffs. In addition, we are subject to recent directives by the European Union (“EU”) related to the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment. Our financial reporting, corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance  practices  are governed  by  laws  such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules and  regulations issued   by  the  Securities  and   Exchange  Commission  (“SEC”).  As  a   U.S.  government  contractor   and subcontractor, we are subject to a variety of rules and regulations,

11



such as the Federal Acquisition Regulations. To date, we have incurred costs in connection with compliance with these regulations in the normal course of business.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-K contains “forward-looking statements” including statements concerning the future of our industry, product development, business strategy, continued acceptance of our products, market growth, and dependence on significant customers. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue,” or other similar words. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements in this Form 10-K. However, the risks described in this Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, not currently known to us or that do not currently appear to be material, may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results in the future. The risk factors noted below and other factors noted throughout this Form 10-K could cause our actual financial condition or results to differ significantly from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Due to many factors, including the amount of business represented by large contracts, new orders, net sales and our operating results are difficult to forecast and may be volatile.

We have experienced, and will experience in the future, significant fluctuations in new orders, net sales and operating results, including our net income and earnings per share, from quarter-to-quarter. One reason for this is that a significant portion of our business — primarily the over-the-horizon microwave systems of our telecommunications transmission segment, our RF microwave amplifiers segment and our mobile data communications segment — is derived from a limited number of relatively large customer contracts, the timing of which cannot be predicted. Our new orders, net sales and operating results, including our net income and earnings per share, also may vary significantly from period-to-period because of the following factors: product mix sold; fluctuating market demand; price competition; new product introductions by our competitors; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; unexpected changes in delivery of components or subsystems; political instability; regulatory developments; changes in income tax rates or tax credits; the price and expected volatility of our stock (which will impact, among other items, the amount of stock-based compensation expense we may record); and general economic conditions. Accordingly, you should not rely on period-to-period comparisons as indications of our future performance because these comparisons may not be meaningful.

Our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial position depend on our ability to maintain our level of U.S. government business.

In recent years, we have increased our dependence on U.S. government business. Our sales to the U.S. government (including sales to prime contractors to the U.S. government) accounted for approximately 61.3%, 47.3% and 42.1% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Approximately 47.9% of our backlog at July 31, 2007 consisted of orders from the U.S. government. We expect such business to represent a significant portion of our consolidated net sales for the foreseeable future. U.S. government business exposes us to various risks, including:

 

 

 

 

unexpected contract or project terminations or suspensions;

 

 

 

 

unpredictable order placements, reductions or cancellations;

 

 

 

 

reductions in government funds available for our projects due to government policy changes, budget cuts and other spending priorities;

 

 

 

 

penalties arising from post-award contract audits;

 

 

 

 

cost audits in which the value of our contracts may be reduced;

 

 

 

 

higher-than-expected final costs, particularly relating to software and hardware development, for work performed under contracts where we commit to specified deliveries for a fixed price; and

 

 

 

 

unpredictable cash collections of unbilled receivables that may be subject to acceptance of contract deliverables by the customer and contract close out procedures, including government approval of final indirect rates.

12



All of our U.S. government contracts can be terminated by the U.S. government for its convenience. Termination for convenience provisions provide only for our recovery of costs incurred or committed, settlement expenses and profit on work completed prior to termination. In addition to the right of the U.S. government to terminate, U.S. government contracts are conditioned upon the continuing approval by Congress of the necessary spending. Congress usually appropriates funds for a given program on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may take more than one year. Consequently, at the beginning of a major program, the contract may not be fully funded, and additional monies are normally committed to the contract only if, and when, appropriations are made by Congress for future fiscal years.

We obtain U.S. government contracts through a competitive bidding process. We cannot assure you that we will continue to win competitively awarded contracts or that awarded contracts will generate sufficient net sales to result in profitability.

If we are unable to comply with complex U.S. government regulations governing security and contracting practices, we could be disqualified as a supplier to the U.S government.

As a supplier to the U.S. government we must comply with numerous regulations, including those governing security and contracting practices. Failure to comply with these procurement regulations and practices could result in fines being imposed against us or our suspension for a period of time from eligibility for bidding on, or for award of, new government contracts. If we are disqualified as a supplier to government agencies, we would lose most, if not all, of our U.S. government customers and revenues from sales of our products would decline significantly. Among the potential causes for disqualification are violations of various statutes, including those related to procurement integrity, export control, U.S. government security regulations, employment practices, protection of the environment, accuracy of records in the recording of costs, and foreign corruption. The government could investigate and make inquiries of our business practices and conduct audits of contract performance and cost accounting. Based on the results of such audits, the U.S. government could adjust our contract-related costs and fees. Depending on the results of these audits and investigations, the government could make claims against us, and if it were to prevail, certain incurred costs would not be recoverable by us.

Our dependence on international sales and international sales agents may adversely affect us.

Sales for use by international customers (including sales to U.S. domestic companies for inclusion in products that will be sold to international customers) represented approximately 26.2%, 35.6% and 44.0% of our consolidated net sales for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Approximately 42.9% of our backlog at July 31, 2007 consisted of orders for use by foreign customers. Direct and indirect sales to a North African country during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were 3.0%, 9.7% and 13.2% of consolidated net sales. We expect that international sales will continue to be a substantial portion of our consolidated net sales.

These sales expose us to certain risks, including barriers to trade, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (which may make our products less price-competitive), political and economic instability, exposure to public health epidemics, availability of suitable export financing, tariff regulations, and other U.S. and foreign regulations that may apply to the export of our products and the generally greater difficulties of doing business abroad.

We attempt to reduce the risk of doing business in foreign countries by seeking subcontracts with large systems suppliers, contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, advance or milestone payments and irrevocable letters of credit in our favor. However, we may not be able to reduce the economic risk of doing business in foreign countries, in all instances. In such cases, billed and unbilled receivables relating to international sales are subject to increased collectibility risk and may result in significant write-offs, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In some countries, such as the aforementioned North African country, we rely upon one international sales agent. We attempt to reduce our reliance on sales agents by establishing additional foreign sales offices and by engaging, where practicable, more than one independent sales representative in a territory.

Foreign defense contracts generally contain provisions relating to termination at the convenience of the government. In addition, certain of our products and systems may require licenses from U.S. government agencies for export from the U.S., and some of our products are not permitted to be exported. We cannot be sure of our ability to gain any licenses that may be required to export our products, and failure to receive required licenses could materially reduce our ability to sell our products outside the U.S.

13



All of our businesses are subject to rapid technological change; we must keep pace with changes to compete successfully.

We are engaged in businesses characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product announcements and enhancements, and changing customer demands. The introduction of products and services embodying new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render any of our products and services obsolete or non-competitive. The technology used in our products and services evolves rapidly, and our business position depends, in large part, on the continuous refinement of our scientific and engineering expertise and the development, either through internal research and development or acquisitions, of new or enhanced products and technologies. We may not have the economic or technological resources to be successful in such efforts and we may not be able to identify and respond to technological improvements made by our competitors in a timely or cost-effective fashion. A significant technological breakthrough by others, including smaller competitors or new firms, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reductions in telecommunications equipment and systems spending may negatively affect our revenues, profitability and the recoverability of our assets, including intangible assets.

For the last several years, the U.S. and global economies have been growing and our revenues and profits have increased as our customers have increased their spending on telecommunications equipment and systems. However, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, adverse conditions in the U.S. consumer mortgage market appear to have spread to the commercial loan market and nearly all businesses, including ours, are facing uncertain economic environments. Some economists are now predicting a recession.

Our businesses have been negatively affected in the past by uncertain economic environments both in the overall market, and more specifically in the telecommunications sector. If the economy slows, some of our customers may reduce their budgets for spending on telecommunications equipment and systems. As a consequence, our current customers and other prospective customers may postpone, reduce or even forego the purchase of our products and systems, which could adversely affect our revenues, profitability and the recoverability of our assets, including intangible assets.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, bookings of our satellite earth station products were below our expectations. We believe this was most likely due to inherent order flow fluctuations that exist in any communications technology book and ship business; and in fact, during the fourth quarter of 2007, bookings regained their strength and met our expectations. Although we remain confident that the long-term demand drivers for our businesses, including our satellite earth station products, remain strong, it is currently difficult to assess whether or not future bookings will meet or exceed the levels experienced in fiscal 2007.

Our mobile data communications business is subject to unique risks.

Although sales and earnings have increased significantly in the past few years, our mobile data communications business has a relatively limited operating history compared to our other business segments. Our mobile data communications business segment is reliant upon just a few contracts and it is subject to many of the risks inherent in the operation of a new business enterprise. In addition to the other risk factors described in this section, the risk factors applicable to our mobile data communications business include the following:

 

 

 

 

Our mobile data communications segment’s revenues and profits are primarily derived from the Movement Tracking Systems (“MTS”) contract and the U.S. Army’s Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade and Below command and control systems (also known as Blue Force Tracking (“BFT”)) contract. Both of these contracts can be terminated at any time and orders are subject to unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions by the U.S. government. Because both these contracts are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, the U.S. Army is not obligated to purchase any equipment or services under the contracts.

 

 

 

 

Our MTS and BFT contracts are not subject to automatic renewal or extension upon their scheduled expiration on July 12, 2010 and December 31, 2011, respectively. In addition, the U.S. Army may decide to award future orders, at any time, to other parties. If another party is awarded future orders or if one or both of our contracts are not renewed, extended or if we fail to succeed in a recompete process, it would have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

 

 

 

14



 

 

 

 

The BFT program’s prime contractor, Northrop Grumman Corporation, has awarded a contract to a competitor to develop a new prototype network and related equipment to increase network capacity for the U.S. Army’s BFT tracking system. Although we are currently working closely with the U.S. Army to provide additional enhancements to our network capabilities and communications performance and believe that we have and are developing new products that provide compelling technological advancement to our existing products and that is, importantly, backwards compatible with the large number of existing BFT and MTS systems in active deployment today, it is possible that the U.S. Army (including our MTS customers) will ultimately cease or reduce its ordering levels of our products and services. If this occurs, it would have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

 

 

 

 

We currently anticipate that we will continue to maintain a substantial inventory in order to provide products to our customers on a timely basis. Certain components required in our production process have purchasing lead-times of four months or longer, and the delivery timetables on our contracts require us to provide products in shorter timeframes after we receive an order. If forecasted orders are not received, we may be left with large inventories of slow moving or unusable parts or terminals that would result in an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial position.

 

 

 

 

We lease the satellite capacity necessary to operate our system from a limited number of third party satellite networks. Our ability to grow and remain profitable depends on the ability of our satellite network providers to provide sufficient network capacity, reliability and security to our customers. If our satellite network providers were to increase the prices of their services, or to suffer operational or technical failures, our business, results of operation and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

 

 

 

Our systems occasionally experience downtime. All satellite communications are subject to the risk that a satellite or ground station failure or a natural disaster may interrupt service. Interruptions in service could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Should we be required to restore service on another system in the event of a satellite failure, our costs could increase which would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

 

 

 

To date, commercial satellite-based mobile data applications have not been a material part of our business. Our future success in commercial markets will depend on, among other things, our ability to access the best distribution channels, the development or licensing of applications which create value for the customer and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. We may have to increase our operating expenses to be successful in the commercial satellite-based mobile data market.

 

 

 

 

There are several existing and potential commercial and defense-related competitors, such as Qualcomm, Inc. and Northrop Grumman Corporation, that participate in the mobile data communications market and who have much greater financial resources than us. Existing competitors, including terrestrial-based service providers, are also aggressively pricing their products and services and may continue to do so in the future. Competitors such as ViaSat, Inc. and Harris Corporation continue to offer new value-added products and services, which we may be unable to match on a timely or cost effective basis. Increased competition may adversely impact margins throughout the industry. We anticipate that new competitors will also enter the mobile data communications market in the future. This could adversely impact our existing business, results of operations and financial condition and could also impair our ability to penetrate the commercial market in a significant way.

Our backlog is subject to customer cancellation or modification and such cancellation could result in decreased sales and increased provisions for excess and obsolete inventory.

We currently have a backlog of orders, mostly under contracts that the customer may modify or terminate. Almost all of the contracts in our backlog are subject to cancellation at the convenience of the customer or for default in the event that we are unable to perform under the contract. We cannot assure you that our backlog will result in net sales.

We record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and future usage trends and other factors including the consideration of the amount of backlog we have on hand at any particular point in time. If our backlog is canceled or modified, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if we determine that our inventory is overvalued, we will be required to recognize such costs in our financial statements at the time of such determination. Any such charges could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

15



Our dependence on component availability, government furnished equipment, subcontractor availability and performance and key suppliers, including the core manufacturing expertise of our high-volume technology manufacturing center located in Tempe, Arizona, may adversely affect us.

None of our business segments generally maintain a substantial inventory of components and subsystems. Although we obtain certain components and subsystems from a single source or a limited number of sources, we believe that most components and subsystems are available from alternative suppliers and subcontractors. A significant interruption in the delivery of such items, however, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In recent years, we have increased the company-wide dependency on our high-volume technology manufacturing center located in Tempe, Arizona, which is part of our telecommunications transmission segment. In fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, intersegment sales by the telecommunications transmission segment to the mobile data communications segment were $78.3 million, $55.7 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Intersegment sales in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 by the telecommunications transmission segment to the RF microwave amplifiers segment were $6.5 million, $7.5 million and $8.6 million, respectively. If a natural disaster or other business interruption occurred, we do not have immediate access to other manufacturing facilities, and as a result, our business would suffer. In addition, if our high-volume technology manufacturing center is unable to produce sufficient product or maintain quality, it could have a material adverse impact on all three of our business segments, our results of operations and our financial condition.

Throughout fiscal 2007, the U.S. government experienced delays in the receipt of certain components that are ultimately provided to us for incorporation into our satellite transceivers that we ship to the U.S. government. If we do not receive these government furnished components in a timely manner, we could experience delays in fulfilling orders from our customers.

Contract cost growth on our fixed price contracts and other contracts that cannot be justified as an increase in contract value due from customers exposes us to reduced profitability and the potential loss of future business and other risks.

Almost all of our products and services are sold under fixed price contracts. This means that we bear the risk of unanticipated technological, manufacturing, supply or other problems, price increases or other increases in the cost of performance. Operating margin is adversely affected when contract costs that cannot be billed to the customer are incurred. This cost growth can occur if initial estimates used for calculating the contract price were incorrect, or if estimates to complete increase. The cost estimation process requires significant judgment and expertise. Reasons for cost growth may include unavailability and productivity of labor, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the effect of change orders, the availability of materials, the effect of any delays in performance, availability and timing of funding from the customer, natural disasters, and the inability to recover any claims included in the estimates to complete. A significant change in an estimate on one or more programs could have a material impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Adverse regulatory changes could impair our ability to sell products.

Our products are incorporated into wireless communications systems that must comply with various U.S. government regulations, including those of the FCC, as well as international laws and regulations. Regulatory changes, including changes in the allocation and availability of frequency spectrum, and in the military standards and specifications that define the current satellite networking environment, could materially harm our business by (i) restricting development efforts by us and our customers, (ii) making our current products less attractive or obsolete, or (iii) increasing the opportunity for additional competition.

Changes in, or our failure to comply with, applicable laws and regulations could materially harm our business. In addition, the increasing demand for wireless communications has exerted pressure on regulatory bodies worldwide to adopt new standards and reassign bandwidth for these products and services. The reduced number of available frequencies for other products and services and the time delays inherent in the government approval process of new products and services have caused and may continue to cause our customers to cancel, postpone or reschedule their installation of communications systems including their satellite, over-the-horizon microwave, or terrestrial line-of-sight microwave communication systems. This, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our sales of products to our customers.

The EU has adopted two directives to facilitate the recycling of electrical and electronic equipment sold in the EU. The first of these is the Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive, which directs EU member states to enact laws, regulations, and administrative provisions to ensure that producers of electrical and electronic  equipment are  financially  responsible  for  the  collection, recycling,  treatment,  and  environmentally sound disposal of

16



certain products placed on the market after August 13, 2005, and from products in use prior to that date that are being replaced. The EU has also adopted the Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“RoHS”) directive. The RoHS directive restricts the use of lead, mercury, and certain other substances in electrical and electronic products placed on the market in the EU after July 1, 2006.

Similar laws and regulations have been or may be enacted in other regions, including in the U.S., China and Japan. Other environmental regulations may require us to reengineer our products to utilize components that are more environmentally compatible, and such reengineering and component substitution may result in additional costs to us. There can be no assurance that such existing or future laws will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Acquisitions and strategic investments may divert our resources and management attention; results may fall short of expectations.

We intend to continue pursuing selected acquisitions of and investments in businesses, technologies and product lines as a key component of our growth strategy. Any future acquisition or investment may result in the use of significant amounts of cash, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt and amortization expenses or in process research and development charges related to intangible assets. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

 

 

 

 

difficulties in the integration and assimilation of the operations, technologies, products and personnel of an acquired business;

 

 

 

 

diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns;

 

 

 

 

increased expenses associated with the acquisition; and


 

 

 

 

loss of key employees or customers of any acquired business.

We cannot assure you that our acquisitions will be successful and will not adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We have investments in recorded goodwill as a result of prior acquisitions, and changes in future business conditions could cause these investments to become impaired, requiring substantial write-downs that would reduce our operating income.

Goodwill recorded on our balance sheet as of July 31, 2007 was $24.4 million. We evaluate the recoverability of recorded goodwill amounts annually, or when evidence of potential impairment exists. The annual impairment test is based on several factors requiring judgment. Changes in our operating performance or business conditions, in general, could result in an impairment of goodwill which could be material to our results of operations.

The loss of key technical or management personnel could adversely affect our business.

Our success depends on the continued contributions of key technical management personnel, including the key corporate and operating unit management at each of our subsidiaries. Many of our key personnel, particularly the key engineers of our subsidiaries, would be difficult to replace, and are not subject to employment or noncompetition agreements. Our growth and future success will depend in large part upon our ability to attract and retain highly qualified engineering, sales and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel from other companies, academic institutions, government entities and other organizations is intense. Although we believe that we have been successful to date in recruiting and keeping key personnel, we may not be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we will need to continue to grow and operate profitably. Also, the management skills that have been appropriate for us in the past may not continue to be appropriate if we continue to grow and diversify.

Our business and operating results may be negatively impacted if we are unable to continue to manage growth of our businesses.

Certain of our businesses have experienced periods of rapid growth that have placed, and may continue to place, significant demands on our managerial, operational and financial resources. In order to manage this growth, we must continue to improve and expand our management, operational and financial systems and controls. We also need to continue to recruit and retain personnel and train and manage our employee base. We must carefully manage research and development capabilities and production and inventory levels to meet product demand, new product introductions and product and technology transitions. If we are not able to timely and effectively manage our growth and maintain the quality standards required by our existing and potential customers, we could experience a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

17



Our markets are highly competitive.

The markets for our products are highly competitive. We cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully compete or that our competitors will not develop new technologies and products that are more effective than our own. We expect the DoD’s increased use of commercial off-the-shelf products and components in military equipment will encourage new competitors to enter the market. Also, although the implementation of advanced telecommunications services is in its early stages in many developing countries, we believe competition may intensify as businesses and foreign governments realize the market potential of telecommunications services. Many of our competitors have financial, technical, marketing, sales and distribution resources greater than ours.

Protection of our intellectual property is limited; we are subject to the risk of third party claims of infringement.

Our businesses rely in large part upon our proprietary scientific and engineering “know-how” and production techniques. Historically, patents have not been an important part of our protection of our intellectual property rights. We rely upon the laws of unfair competition, restrictions in licensing agreements and confidentiality agreements to protect our intellectual property. We limit access to and distribution of our proprietary information. These efforts allow us to rely upon the knowledge and experience of our management and technical personnel to market our existing products and to develop new products. The departure of any of our key management and technical personnel, the breach of their confidentiality and non-disclosure obligations to us or the failure to achieve our intellectual property objectives may have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our ability to compete successfully and achieve future revenue growth will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing upon the rights of others. We may fail to do so. In addition, the laws of certain countries in which our products are or may be sold may not protect our products and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the U.S.

We believe that we own or have licensed all intellectual property rights necessary for the operation of our businesses as currently contemplated. If the technology we use is found to infringe on protected technology, we could be required to change our business practices, license the protected technology, and/or pay damages or other compensation to the infringed party. If we are unable to license protected technology that we use in our business or if we are required to change our business practices, we could be prohibited from making and selling our products or providing certain telecommunications services.

Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations and we may be subject to environmental liabilities.

We engage in manufacturing and are subject to a variety of local, state and federal governmental regulations relating to the storage, discharge, handling, emission, generation, manufacture and disposal of toxic or other hazardous substances used to manufacture our products, such as the fabrication of fiberglass antennas by our Comtech Antenna Systems, Inc. subsidiary. We are also subject to the RoHS directive which restricts the use of lead, mercury and other substances in electrical and electronic products. The failure to comply with current or future environmental requirements could result in the imposition of substantial fines, suspension of production, alteration of our manufacturing processes or cessation of operations that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

In addition, the handling, treatment or disposal of hazardous substances by us or our predecessors may have resulted or could in the future result in contamination requiring investigation or remediation, or leading to other liabilities, any of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our fiscal 2004 Federal income tax return is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service, other returns may be selected for audit and a resulting tax assessment or settlement could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position.

We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, including Canada. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax examinations and any related litigation could be materially different than what is reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals.

18



In fiscal 2006, we were informed by the Internal Revenue Service that our Federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 was selected for a general tax audit. The audit is ongoing and additional income tax returns for other fiscal years may be examined. If the outcome of the audit differs materially from our original income tax provisions, it could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

Recently enacted securities laws and regulations are increasing our costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 required changes in some of our corporate governance, public disclosure and compliance practices. For example, the SEC has promulgated new rules on a variety of subjects. In addition, the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) has revised its requirements for companies, such as us, that are listed on the NASDAQ. These changes are increasing our legal and financial compliance costs including making it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance or maintain our current liability coverage. We believe that these new laws and regulations could make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board of Directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee, and qualified executive officers.

We are subject to the ongoing internal control provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Identification of material weaknesses in internal controls, if identified, could indicate a lack of proper controls to generate accurate financial statements.

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules, we are required to furnish a report of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls as part of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our independent registered accountants are required to attest to and report on management’s assessment, as well as provide a separate opinion. To issue our report, we document our internal control design and the testing processes that support our evaluation and conclusion, and then we test and evaluate the results. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to remediate material weaknesses, if any, that may be identified in future periods, or maintain all of the controls necessary for continued compliance. There likewise can be no assurance that we will be able to retain sufficient skilled finance and accounting personnel, especially in light of the increased demand for such personnel among publicly traded companies.

Changes in financial accounting standards related to stock-based awards are expected to continue to have a significant effect on our reported results.

In fiscal 2006, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” a revised standard that requires that we record compensation expense in the statement of operations for employee and director stock-based awards using a fair value method. The adoption of the new standard had a significant effect on our reported earnings, and could adversely impact our ability to provide accurate guidance on our future reported financial results due to the variability of the factors used to estimate the value of stock-based awards. As a result, the ongoing application of this standard could impact the future value of our common stock and may result in greater stock price volatility.

In addition, since our inception, we have used stock-based awards as a fundamental component of our employee compensation packages. We believe that stock-based awards directly motivate our employees to maximize long-term stockholder value and, through the use of long-term vesting, encourage employees to remain with us. To the extent that this accounting standard makes it less attractive to grant stock-based awards to employees, we may incur increased compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, each of which could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face risks from the uncertainty of prevailing political conditions.

Current global political conditions are uncertain. Because the accuracy of our budgeting and forecasting process relies on stable political conditions, the prevailing political environment renders estimates of future income and expenses even more difficult than usual to formulate. The future direction of the political environment could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Terrorist attacks and threats, and government responses thereto, and threats of war elsewhere may negatively impact all aspects of our operations, revenues, costs and stock price.

Terrorist attacks, the U.S. government’s and other governments’ responses thereto, and threats of war could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Any escalation in these events or similar or future events may disrupt our operations or those  of  our customers and may affect the  availability of

19



materials needed to manufacture our products or the means to transport those materials to manufacturing facilities and finished products to customers. In addition, these could have an adverse impact on the U.S. and world economy in general.

Provisions in our corporate documents, stockholder rights plan, and Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of Comtech.

We have taken a number of actions that could have the effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a merger or acquisition involving Comtech that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, we have a classified board and the employment contract of our chief executive officer provides for a substantial payment in the event of a change of control of Comtech. We also adopted a stockholder rights plan that could cause substantial dilution to a stockholder, and substantially increase the cost paid by a stockholder, who attempts to acquire us on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. These provisions could prevent us from being acquired. In addition, our certificate of incorporation grants our Board of Directors the authority to fix the rights, preferences and privileges of and issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock without stockholder action. Although we have no present intention to issue shares of preferred stock, such an issuance of any class or series of our preferred stock could have rights which would adversely affect the voting power of the common stock or which could delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of Comtech. In addition, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an anti-takeover law. In general, this statute provides that except in certain limited circumstances a corporation shall not engage in any “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. A “business combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, for purposes of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates, owns, or within three years did own, 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. This provision could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of Comtech.

Our debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow.

The higher level of indebtedness resulting from the issuance of our 2.0% convertible senior notes increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We cannot assure you that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our debt or that future working capital, borrowings or equity financing will be available to pay or refinance such debt.

 

 

 

The level of our indebtedness, among other things, could:

 

 

 

 

make it difficult for us to make payments on our debt;

 

 

 

 

make it difficult for us to obtain any necessary financing in the future for working capital, acquisitions, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;

 

 

 

 

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and

 

 

 

 

make us more vulnerable in the event of a downturn in our business.

Our stock price is volatile.

The stock market in general, and the stock prices of technology-based companies in particular, have experienced extreme volatility that often has been unrelated to the operating performance of any specific public company. The market price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly in the past and is likely to fluctuate significantly in the future as well. Factors that could have a significant impact on the market price of our stock are described throughout the Risk Factors section and include:

 

 

 

 

strategic transactions, such as acquisitions and divestures;

 

 

future announcements concerning us or our competitors;

 

receipt or non-receipt of substantial orders for products and services;

 

quality deficiencies in services or products;

 

 

results of technological innovations;

 

 

new commercial products;

 

 

changes in recommendations of securities analysts;

 

government regulations;

20



 

 

 

 

proprietary rights or product or patent litigation;

 

changes in economic conditions generally, particularly in the telecommunications sector;

 

changes in securities market conditions, generally;

 

energy blackouts;

 

 

acts of terrorism or war;

 

inflation or deflation; and

 

 

rumors or allegations regarding our financial disclosures or practices.

Shortfalls in our sales or earnings in any given period relative to the levels expected by securities analysts could immediately, significantly and adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our corporate headquarters are located in an office building complex in Melville, New York. The lease, which is for 9,600 square feet, provides for our use of the premises for seven years through July 2013.

Our RF microwave amplifiers segment is primarily located in a 46,000 square foot engineering and manufacturing facility on more than two acres of land in Melville, New York. We lease this facility from a partnership controlled by our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. The lease, as amended, provides for our use of the premises as they now exist for a term of ten years through December 2011. We have a right of first refusal in the event of a sale of the facility. The base annual rent under the lease is subject to customary adjustments.

Although primarily used for our satellite earth station product lines which are part of the telecommunications transmission segment, all three of our business segments utilize our four high-volume technology manufacturing facilities located in Tempe, Arizona. These manufacturing facilities comprising 146,000 square feet utilize state-of-the-art design and production techniques, including analog, digital and RF microwave production, hardware assembly and full service engineering. The leases for these facilities expire in fiscal 2011 and in each lease we have the option to extend the term of the lease for an additional five-year period.

Our telecommunications transmission segment leases an additional twelve facilities, six of which are located in the U.S. The U.S. facilities (excluding our Tempe, Arizona facility) aggregate 126,000 square feet and are primarily utilized for manufacturing, engineering, and general office use. Our telecommunications transmission segment also operates six small offices in China, India, North Africa, Thailand, the United Kingdom and Canada that are primarily utilized for customer support, engineering and sales.

Our mobile data communications segment operates in a leased 31,000 square foot facility located in Germantown, Maryland. Our lease expires in fiscal 2008. We have signed a letter of intent to renew the lease and expect to finalize the terms of the lease in the near future.

The terms for all of our leased facilities are generally for multi-year periods and we believe that we will be able to renew these leases or find comparable facilities elsewhere.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Hurricane-Related Proceedings
During fiscal 2005, two of our leased facilities located in Florida experienced hurricane damage to both leasehold improvements and personal property. As of July 31, 2007, we have completed all restoration efforts relating to the hurricane damage and have recorded a $0.8 million insurance recovery receivable and accrued a total of $2.2 million for hurricane related costs. Despite a written agreement with the general contractor that we believe limits our liability for the cost of the repairs to the amount of insurance proceeds ultimately received from our insurance company, a dispute has arisen with the general contractor and a certain subcontractor over the subcontractor’s demand for payment directly from us (by virtue of a purported assignment of rights and other grounds) in an amount exceeding the insurance proceeds by $0.8 million, plus late charges, interest, fees, costs and certain treble damages. As a result of this dispute, we deposited approximately $1.4 million, representing the balance of the insurance proceeds received, in our attorneys’ trust account and filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida. The general contractor and the subcontractor have filed separate and

21



independent actions  against us and our  insurance company, all of which have now been consolidated under our original action. The Court has postponed the trial date several times and has not scheduled a new trial date. We have also filed a cross-claim against our insurance company asserting that the insurer is responsible for whatever liability, if any, we are ultimately adjudged to have to the general contractor or the subcontractor. However, to the extent that insurance recoveries are inadequate, we might be required to fund the shortfall. All parties have held and are currently engaged in mediation and settlement discussions. However, to date, no agreements have been reached. We do not expect that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

Other Legal Proceedings
In March 2007, a lawsuit was brought against us in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas by a company that claims that it was a consultant and a reseller of certain of our products and that it is owed damages for alleged lost profits, as well as punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees. We believe that we have substantial legal and factual defenses to the plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We do not expect that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

We are party to certain other legal actions, which arise in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation is difficult to accurately predict, we believe that the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

No matters were submitted to our stockholders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007.

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock. Although we currently expect to use earnings and cash on hand to finance the development and expansion of our businesses, our Board of Directors reviews our dividend policy periodically. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered relevant by our Board of Directors.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

None.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

We did not repurchase any of our equity securities during fiscal 2007.

Approximate Number of Equity Security Holders

As of September 11, 2007, there were approximately 782 holders of our common stock. Such number of record owners was determined from our shareholder records and does not include beneficial owners of our common stock held in the name of various security holders, dealers and clearing agencies.

ITEM 6. SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

The following table shows selected historical consolidated financial data for our Company. During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005, the Company adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings Per Share.” The Company has restated, for comparative purposes, the historical share and per share data, including earnings per share (“EPS”), to reflect the impact of the assumed conversion of the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes in calculating diluted EPS. No restatement of EPS for periods prior to fiscal 2004 was required since the convertible senior notes were not outstanding during these periods. In addition, effective August 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” using the modified prospective method and, as a result, periods prior to August 1, 2005 do not reflect the recognition of stock-based compensation expense.

All share and per share amounts have also been adjusted to reflect the three-for-two stock splits of the Company’s common shares that occurred in April 2005 and July 2003. Detailed historical financial information is included in the audited consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We design, develop, produce and market innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions. We believe many of our solutions play a vital role in providing or enhancing communication capabilities when terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable or ineffective.

We conduct our business through three complementary segments: telecommunications transmission, mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers. We sell our products to a diverse customer base in the global commercial and government communications markets. We believe we are a leader in the market segments that we serve.

Our telecommunications transmission segment, which is currently our largest business segment, provides sophisticated equipment and systems that are used to enhance satellite transmission efficiency and that enable wireless communications in environments where terrestrial communications are unavailable, inefficient or too expensive. Our mobile data communications segment, currently our fastest growing segment, provides customers with an integrated solution, including mobile satellite transceivers and satellite network support, to enable global satellite-based communications when mobile, real-time, secure transmission is required for applications including logistics, support and battlefield command and control. Our RF microwave amplifiers segment designs, manufactures and markets solid-state, high-power, broadband RF microwave amplifier products.

A substantial portion of our sales may be derived from a limited number of relatively large customer contracts, such as our Movement Tracking System (“MTS”) contract with the U.S. Army and our U.S. Army’s Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade and Below command and control systems (also known as Blue Force Tracking (“BFT”)) contract, for which the timing of revenues cannot be predicted. Quarterly and period-to-period sales and operating results may be significantly affected by one or more of such contracts. In addition, our gross profit is affected by a variety of factors, including the mix of products, systems and services sold, production efficiencies, estimates of warranty expense, price competition and general economic conditions. Our gross profit may also be affected by the impact of any cumulative adjustments to contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. Our contracts with the U.S. government can be terminated at any time and orders are subject to unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions by the U.S. government. Some of these contracts, such as the MTS and BFT contracts, are indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, and as such, the U.S. Army is not obligated to purchase any equipment or services under the contracts. Accordingly, we can experience significant fluctuations in sales and operating results from quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period comparisons may not be indicative of a trend or future performance.

25



Revenue from the sale of our products is generally recognized when the earnings process is complete, upon shipment or customer acceptance. Revenue from contracts relating to the design, development or manufacture of complex electronic equipment to a buyer’s specification or to provide services relating to the performance of such contracts is generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method are generally accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each element’s relative fair value and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition criteria for each element are met.

Recent Acquisitions

In February 2005, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Tolt Technologies, Inc. (“Tolt”) for an aggregate purchase price of $3.7 million, including transaction costs of $0.2 million. In fiscal 2006, we significantly de-emphasized stand-alone sales of Tolt’s turnkey employee mobility solutions, and are focusing our efforts on selling commercial satellite-based mobile data applications. This operation was combined with our existing business in 2006 and is part of our mobile data communications segment.

In August 2006, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (“Insite”), a logistics application software company, for $3.2 million, including transaction costs of $0.3 million. Insite has developed the geoOps™ Enterprise Location Monitoring System, a software-based solution that allows customers to integrate legacy data systems with near-real time logistics and operational data systems. This operation was combined with our existing business and is part of our mobile data communications segment.

In February 2007, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Digicast Networks, Inc. (“Digicast”), a manufacturer of digital video broadcasting equipment, for $1.0 million. This operation was combined with our existing business and is part of the telecommunications transmission segment.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider certain accounting policies to be critical due to the estimation process involved in each.

Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Contracts. Revenues and related costs from long-term contracts relating to the design, development or manufacture of complex electronic equipment to a buyer’s specification or to provide services relating to the performance of such contracts are recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP 81-1”). We primarily apply the percentage-of-completion method and generally recognize revenue based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs, or, alternatively, based on output measures, such as units delivered. Profits expected to be realized on such contracts are based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident. Long-term U.S. government cost-reimbursable type contracts are also specifically covered by Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 “Government Contracts, Cost-Plus Fixed-Fee Contracts” (“ARB 43”), in addition to SOP 81-1.

We have been engaged in the production and delivery of goods and services on a continual basis under contractual arrangements for many years. Historically, we have demonstrated an ability to accurately estimate revenues and expenses relating to our long-term contracts. However, there exist inherent risks and uncertainties in estimating revenues, expenses and progress toward completion, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on such contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial position.

In addition, most government contracts have termination for convenience clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract at any time. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Historically, we have not experienced material terminations of our long-term contracts.

26



We also address customer acceptance provisions in assessing our ability to perform our contractual obligations under long-term contracts. Our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial condition. Historically, we have been able to perform on our long-term contracts.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As discussed further in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1(j) Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R) on August 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Through July 31, 2005, we accounted for our stock option and employee stock purchase plans under the intrinsic value method of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, and as a result no compensation costs had been recognized in our historical consolidated statements of operations.

We have used and expect to continue to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to compute the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect our best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of our control. We estimate expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of our stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in our stock and our expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, if other assumptions or estimates had been used for options granted, stock-based compensation expense that was recorded could have been materially different. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the future.

Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of July 31, 2007, our company’s goodwill and other intangible assets aggregated $30.1 million. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles, we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in future periods. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to our results of operations.

Provision for Warranty Obligations. We provide warranty coverage for most of our products, including products under long-term contracts, for a period of at least one year from the date of shipment. We record a liability for estimated warranty expense based on historical claims, product failure rates and other factors. Some of our warranties are provided under long-term contracts, the costs of which are incorporated into our estimates of total contract costs. There exist inherent risks and uncertainties in estimating warranty expenses, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. As such, if we do not accurately estimate our warranty costs, any changes to our original estimates could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Accounting for Income Taxes. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The provision for income taxes is based on domestic and international statutory income tax rates in the tax jurisdictions where we operate, permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting and available credits and incentives. The U.S. Federal government is our most significant income tax jurisdiction. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and tax positions. We may be challenged upon review by the applicable taxing authority and positions taken by us may not be sustained. We provide tax reserves for tax exposures relating to periods subject to audit. The development of reserves for these exposures requires consideration of timing and judgments about tax issues and potential outcomes, and is a subjective critical estimate. In certain circumstances, the ultimate outcome of exposures and risks involves significant uncertainties. It is our policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position. As discussed in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 1(h) Income Taxes and Note 9 Income Taxes”, on August 1, 2007 we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”).

Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and future usage trends. Other factors may also influence our provision, including decisions to exit a product line, technological change and new product development. These factors could result in a change in the amount of excess and obsolete inventory on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if we determine that our inventory was overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in our financial statements at the time of such determination. Any such charges could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

27



Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of our customers’ current credit information. Generally, we will require cash in advance or payment secured by irrevocable letters of credit before an order is accepted from an international customer that we do not do business with regularly. In addition, we seek to obtain insurance for certain international customers. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the allowances established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and the financial health of specific customers. Changes to the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts could be material to our results of operations and financial condition.

Comparison of Fiscal 2007 and 2006

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $445.7 million and $391.5 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $54.2 million, or 13.8%. The increase in net sales reflects growth in our telecommunications transmission and mobile data communications segments, partially offset by lower net sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment.

Net sales in our telecommunications transmission segment were $219.9 million and $197.9 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $22.0 million, or 11.1%. The increase in net sales in this segment primarily reflects increased sales of our over-the-horizon microwave systems and satellite earth station products. Sales of our over-the-horizon microwave systems for fiscal 2007 were higher than fiscal 2006 due to deliveries of our new 16 Mbps troposcatter modem upgrade kits for use on the U.S. Department of Defense’s (“DoD”) AN/TRC-170 digital troposcatter terminals. On the other hand, sales of our over-the-horizon microwave systems, both direct and indirect, to our North African country end-customer were lower during fiscal 2007 as we believe the end-customer is between major phases of a multi-year roll-out of a large project. Net sales in fiscal 2007 include sales of $1.2 million relating to a gross profit adjustment, as discussed below, on a large over-the-horizon microwave system contract. Sales of satellite earth station products in fiscal 2007 were higher than fiscal 2006 as we continued to benefit from demand for our bandwidth efficient satellite earth station modems, including those used to support cellular backhaul applications. Our telecommunications transmission segment represented 49.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 as compared to 50.5% for fiscal 2006.

Although sales in our telecommunications transmission segment can fluctuate from period-to-period based on the strength of our satellite earth station bookings and the receipt of and performance on large over-the-horizon microwave system contracts, we currently believe that net sales in our telecommunications transmission segment should increase in fiscal 2008. We believe that the demand drivers for our satellite earth station products remain strong and that we will receive at least one large over-the-horizon microwave system contract in fiscal 2008.

28



Net sales in our mobile data communications segment were $189.6 million and $149.5 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, an increase of $40.1 million, or 26.8%. The increase in net sales was due to an increase in deliveries to the U.S. Army and Army National Guard for ongoing support of MTS program activities and higher sales of battlefield command and control applications to the U.S. military. This increase was partially offset by a decline in net sales of $17.3 million related to the impact of our decision, made in fiscal 2006, to significantly de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. Net sales in fiscal 2007 and 2006 include sales of $1.1 million and $9.5 million, respectively, relating to gross profit adjustments on our original MTS contract, discussed below. Our mobile data communications segment represented 42.6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 as compared to 38.2% for fiscal 2006.

Our original (and subsequently extended) $463.2 million MTS contract expired in August 2007. We ultimately received total orders against the original MTS contract of $459.8 million. In August 2007, we were awarded a new IDIQ contract, with a ceiling value of $605.1 million, to continue to provide and support MTS products and services through July 12, 2010. In addition to our new MTS contract, we were also awarded a separate IDIQ contract to continue to provide our mobile data communication products and services in support of the U.S. Army’s BFT tracking system. This contract has a ceiling value of $216.0 million and continues through December 31, 2011. Although it is difficult to predict the timing and amount of funding that we expect to ultimately receive on our new MTS and BFT contracts, we currently anticipate that our mobile data communications segment will experience continued growth in fiscal 2008. Sales and profitability in our mobile data communications segment can fluctuate dramatically from period-to-period due to many factors including unpredictable funding, deployment and technology decisions by the U.S. government. Also, we are aware that the U.S. government has experienced delays in the receipt of certain components that are provided to us for incorporation into our mobile satellite transceivers. If we do not receive these U.S. government furnished components in a timely manner, we could experience delays in fulfilling funded and anticipated orders from our customers.

Net sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment were $36.2 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $44.1 million for fiscal 2006, a decrease of $7.9 million, or 17.9%. The decrease in net sales was due to lower sales of our amplifiers that are incorporated into improvised explosive device jamming systems, as well as certain orders currently in backlog that are now expected to ship in fiscal 2008. A portion of our backlog is comprised of more complex amplifiers employing newer technology which has resulted in longer than expected production times to ensure that these amplifiers meet our customers’ specifications. Our RF microwave amplifiers segment represented 8.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 as compared to 11.3% for fiscal 2006.

Based on the amount of our current backlog and anticipated future orders, we currently expect sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment to increase in fiscal 2008. In the second half of fiscal 2007, we were selected by one of our customers to participate in the Counter Remote Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (“CREW”) program and we expect to receive additional orders for these types of amplifiers in fiscal 2008.

International sales (which include sales to U.S. companies for inclusion in products which are sold to international customers) represented 26.2% and 35.6% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Domestic commercial sales represented 12.5% and 17.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Sales to the U.S. government (including sales to prime contractors to the U.S. government) represented 61.3% and 47.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

During fiscal 2007 and 2006, one customer, a prime contractor, represented 5.4% and 10.2% of consolidated net sales, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $193.3 million and $159.3 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $34.0 million, or 21.3%. The increase in gross profit was primarily attributable to the increase in net sales discussed above, as well as an increase in the gross profit percentage to 43.4% for fiscal 2007 from 40.7% for 2006.

As discussed further below, we recorded favorable cumulative adjustments relating to certain long-term contracts, which were partially offset by a firmware-related warranty provision in both periods. Excluding the impact of these adjustments and the firmware-related warranty provision, to both net sales and gross profit, our gross profit as a percentage of sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006 would have been 41.0% and 39.8%, respectively. The increase in the adjusted gross profit percentage was primarily due to increased gross margins within our telecommunications transmission segment, primarily due to the benefit of higher sales of our new 16 Mbps troposcatter modem upgrade kits, and increased operating efficiencies in our mobile data communications segment, including  the benefit of our  decision  to  significantly de-emphasize  stand-alone sales  of  low  margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. The

29



increase in gross margins was offset, in part, by lower gross margins in our RF microwave amplifiers segment primarily due to lower sales and product mix.

During fiscal 2007 and 2006, we recorded favorable cumulative gross profit adjustments of $11.8 million (of which $10.7 million related to the mobile data communications segment and $1.1 million related to the telecommunications transmission segment) and $9.1 million (of which $8.5 million related to the mobile data communications segment and $0.6 million related to the RF microwave amplifiers segment), respectively, relating to our ongoing review of total estimated contract revenues and costs, and the related gross margin at completion, on long-term contracts. Offsetting these adjustments, in our mobile data communications segment and included in cost of sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006, is a firmware-related warranty provision of $0.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

The favorable cumulative gross profit adjustments recorded in both periods in our mobile data communications segment resulted from the increase in the estimated gross profit at completion on our original MTS contract. The adjustments are primarily related to increased operating efficiencies and, as it relates to fiscal 2007, the finalization of our total contract costs (including estimates for warranty obligations) relating to the completion of the original MTS contract. The favorable cumulative gross profit adjustment recorded in our telecommunications transmission segment during fiscal 2007 related to an increase in the estimated gross profit at completion on a large over-the-horizon microwave system contract. The favorable cumulative gross profit adjustment recorded in our RF microwave amplifiers segment during fiscal 2006 related to a U.S. military contract that was substantially completed in fiscal 2006.

Included in cost of sales for fiscal 2007 and 2006 are provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $4.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. As discussed in our “Critical Accounting Policies – Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory,” we regularly review our inventory and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and projected usage assumptions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $73.3 million and $67.1 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $6.2 million, or 9.2%. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to higher payroll-related expenses (including amortization of stock-based compensation) and increased other costs associated with the growth of our business. This increase was offset, in part, by lower expenses in our mobile data communications segment as we continue to de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 16.4% and 17.1% for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Amortization of stock-based compensation expense recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.8 million in fiscal 2007 from $4.6 million in fiscal 2006.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $32.5 million and $25.8 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively, representing an increase of $6.7 million, or 26.0%. Approximately $21.0 million and $19.0 million of such amounts, respectively, related to our telecommunications transmission segment, with the remaining expenses primarily related to our mobile data communications segment and, to a lesser extent, our RF microwave amplifiers segment. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, research and development expenses were 7.3% and 6.6% for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

As an investment for the future, we are continually enhancing our existing products and developing new products and technologies. Whenever possible, we seek customer funding for research and development to adapt our products to specialized customer requirements. During fiscal 2007 and 2006, customers reimbursed us $4.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, which is not reflected in the reported research and development expenses, but is included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales.

Amortization of stock-based compensation expense recorded as research and development expenses increased to $1.1 million in fiscal 2007 from $0.7 million in fiscal 2006.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles for fiscal 2007 and 2006 was $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The amortization primarily relates to intangibles with finite lives that we acquired in connection with various acquisitions (including the acquisitions of Insite and Digicast that occurred in fiscal 2007).

Operating Income. Operating income for fiscal 2007 and 2006 was $84.9 million and $63.9 million, respectively. The $21.0 million, or 32.9% increase, was primarily the result of the higher sales and gross profit, discussed above.

30



Operating income in our telecommunications transmission segment increased to $59.2 million for fiscal 2007 from $49.8 million for fiscal 2006, as a result of increased net sales and gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses. In addition, as discussed above under “Gross Profit,” included in operating income for fiscal 2007 is a cumulative adjustment related to a large over-the-horizon microwave systems contract which favorably impacted operating income by $0.9 million.

Our mobile data communications segment generated operating income of $45.4 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $21.7 million for fiscal 2006. The increase in operating income was primarily due to the increase in net sales and operating efficiencies achieved, including the benefit of lower selling, general and administrative expenses as we continue to de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. In addition, as discussed above under “Gross Profit,” included in operating income for fiscal 2007 and 2006, are positive impacts from the cumulative adjustments, net of the respective firmware-related warranty provisions, of $9.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

Operating income in our RF microwave amplifiers segment decreased to $3.7 million for fiscal 2007 from $8.3 million for fiscal 2006 due primarily to lower net sales and lower gross margins. In addition, as discussed above under “Gross Profit,” included in operating income for fiscal 2006 is a cumulative adjustment which favorably impacted operating income by $0.5 million.

Unallocated operating expenses increased to $23.3 million for fiscal 2007 from $15.9 million for fiscal 2006 due primarily to higher payroll-related expenses (including increased amortization of stock-based compensation), as well as increased other costs associated with growing our business. Amortization of stock-based compensation expense increased to $7.4 million in fiscal 2007 from $5.7 million in fiscal 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in both the number and related fair value of stock-based awards that are being amortized over their respective service periods for fiscal 2007 as compared to fiscal 2006. Amortization of stock-based compensation is expected to increase in fiscal 2008 as a result of ongoing amortization of awards currently outstanding (including those issued through September 18, 2007).

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2.7 million for both fiscal 2007 and 2006. Interest expense primarily relates to our 2.0% convertible senior notes.

Interest Income and Other. Interest income and other for fiscal 2007 was $14.2 million, as compared to $9.2 million for fiscal 2006. The $5.0 million increase was primarily due to an increase in interest rates and additional investable cash since July 2006.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $31.2 million and $25.2 million for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 32.4% and 35.8% for fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the passage of legislation, in fiscal 2007, extending the Federal research and experimentation credit, including $0.6 million of tax benefits related to the retroactive application of the credit to fiscal 2006, and the approval by our stockholders of an amendment to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which will permit us to claim tax deductions for cash incentive awards anticipated to be paid under the Plan without limitation under §162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, we also recorded incremental tax benefits aggregating $2.0 million during fiscal 2007 including a $1.0 million tax benefit due to the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations. Our tax rate for fiscal 2006 was favorably impacted by the recording of a net benefit of $0.6 million primarily relating to the favorable settlement of a state tax matter. Excluding adjustments, our effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 approximated 35.0%.

We currently expect that our fiscal 2008 effective tax rate will be approximately 35.0%. The expected increase in the effective tax rate from the 32.4% experienced in fiscal 2007 is primarily the result of (i) the items impacting the 2007 tax rate discussed above, (ii) the expiration, in December 2007, of the Federal research and experimentation credit, (iii) the repeal, in December 2006, of the extraterritorial income exclusion, offset by (iv) the scheduled phase-in of the deduction for domestic production activities.

Our Federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 is currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. Additional income tax returns for other fiscal years may also be examined. If the outcome of the audit differs materially from our original income tax provisions, it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

Comparison of Fiscal 2006 and 2005

Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $391.5 million and $307.9 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing an increase of $83.6 million, or 27.2%. The increase in net sales was driven by an increase in our telecommunications transmission and our mobile data communications segments, partially offset by lower net sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment.

Net sales in our telecommunications transmission segment were $197.9 million and $174.5 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $23.4 million, or 13.4%. The growth in this segment resulted primarily from an increase in demand for our satellite earth station products and sales related to a contract with a third-party commercial customer to outsource its manufacturing. Fiscal 2005 also includes a $4.0 million cumulative adjustment to net sales which resulted from lower than anticipated costs on two large over-the-horizon microwave system contracts. Sales in the over-the-horizon microwave systems product line can fluctuate dramatically from period to period based on the receipt of large contracts and our performance thereon. Our telecommunications transmission segment represented 50.5% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 as compared to 56.7% for fiscal 2005.

Net sales in our mobile data communications segment were $149.5 million and $86.1 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $63.4 million, or 73.6%. The increase in net sales was due to (i) higher sales on the MTS contract, including $9.5 million of sales relating to the gross profit adjustment discussed below under “Gross Profit,” (ii) higher sales of battlefield command and control applications to the U.S. military, and (iii) our acquisition of Tolt in February 2005 which contributed $18.7 million of net sales for fiscal 2006 compared to $11.3 million of net sales for fiscal 2005. In the second half of fiscal 2006, we significantly de-emphasized stand-alone sales of Tolt’s low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions to further focus its sales efforts on commercial satellite-based mobile data applications. Stand-alone sales of these low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions during fiscal 2006 were approximately $15.0 million. Net sales for fiscal 2005 were positively impacted by a favorable cumulative adjustment associated with the change from the usage method to the straight-line method of accounting for MTS prepaid service time revenue, which contributed $3.8 million to net sales. Period-to-period sales and profitability in our mobile data communications segment can fluctuate dramatically due to funding fluctuations. Our mobile data communications segment represented 38.2% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 as compared to 27.9% for fiscal 2005.

Net sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment were $44.1 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $47.3 million for fiscal 2005, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 6.8%. The decrease in net sales was due primarily to lower sales of our amplifiers that are incorporated into improvised explosive device jamming systems, partially offset by increased demand for other defense-related products in this segment. Our RF microwave amplifiers segment represented 11.3% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 as compared to 15.4% for fiscal 2005.

International sales (which include sales to U.S. companies for inclusion in products which are sold to international customers) represented 35.6% and 44.0% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Domestic commercial sales represented 17.1% and 13.9% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to the U.S. government (including sales to prime contractors to the U.S. government) represented 47.3% and 42.1% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

One customer, a prime contractor, represented 10.2% of consolidated net sales in both fiscal 2006 and 2005. Direct and indirect sales to a North African country, including certain sales to the prime contractor mentioned above, represented 9.7% and 13.2% of consolidated net sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit was $159.3 million and $127.4 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing an increase of $31.9 million, or 25.0%. Our gross profit percentage was 40.7% for fiscal 2006 as compared to 41.4% for fiscal 2005.

Excluding the impact of adjustments to both net sales and gross profit in both periods, as discussed below, our adjusted gross profit as a percentage of net sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005 would have been 39.8% and 40.5%, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to a higher proportion of our consolidated net sales being in the mobile data communications segment, which typically realizes lower gross margins than sales in our other two segments. In addition, fiscal 2006 includes higher sales relating to Tolt’s turnkey employee mobility solutions, which have lower gross margins than any of our other product lines. The decline in gross margin percentage due to the change in product mix was partially offset by continued increased operating efficiencies associated with increased usage of our high-volume technology manufacturing facility during fiscal 2006.

32



During fiscal 2006, we recorded favorable cumulative gross profit adjustments of $9.1 million (of which $8.5 million relates to the mobile data communications segment and $0.6 million relates to the RF microwave amplifiers segment). The adjustment in our mobile data communications segment was primarily the result of increased MTS funding from the U.S. Army, as well as improved operating efficiencies. The adjustment in our RF microwave amplifiers segment related to a military contract that was substantially completed in fiscal 2006. These favorable adjustments were partially offset by a $1.7 million warranty provision in our mobile data communications segment relating to certain of our firmware that had to be modified. During fiscal 2005, we recorded cumulative adjustments related to two large over-the-horizon microwave system contracts and the MTS contract with an aggregate impact of $5.8 million on gross profit (of which $2.2 million relates to the mobile data communications segment and $3.6 million relates to the telecommunications transmission segment).

Included in cost of sales for fiscal 2006 and 2005 are provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $2.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively. As discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies – Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory,” we regularly review our inventory and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and projected usage assumptions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $67.1 million and $51.8 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing an increase of $15.3 million, or 29.5%. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to (i) the increased level of net sales and activity in our telecommunications transmission and mobile data communications segments, (ii) the recording of $4.6 million of stock-based compensation expense during fiscal 2006, and (iii) a full year of expenses associated with Tolt, which was acquired in February 2005. There was no stock-based compensation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.1% and 16.8% for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $25.8 million and $21.2 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing an increase of $4.6 million, or 21.7%. Approximately $19.0 million and $17.7 million of such amounts, respectively, related to our telecommunications transmission segment, with the remaining expenses primarily related to our mobile data communications segment and, to a lesser extent, our RF microwave amplifiers segment. In addition, during fiscal 2006, we recorded $0.7 million of stock-based compensation expense in research and development expenses. There was no stock-based compensation expense included in research and development expenses in fiscal 2005. As an investment for the future, we are continually enhancing our existing products and developing new products and technologies. Whenever possible, we seek customer funding for research and development to adapt our products to specialized customer requirements. During fiscal 2006 and 2005, customers reimbursed us $4.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, which is not reflected in the reported research and development expenses, but is included in net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles for fiscal 2006 and 2005 was $2.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The amortization primarily relates to intangibles with finite lives that we acquired in connection with various acquisitions.

Operating Income. Operating income for fiscal 2006 and 2005 was $63.9 million and $52.1 million, respectively. The $11.8 million, or 22.6% increase, was the result of the higher sales and gross profit, discussed above, partially offset by higher operating expenses.

Operating income in our telecommunications transmission segment increased to $49.8 million for fiscal 2006 from $40.2 million for fiscal 2005, as a result of increased net sales and gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses. In addition, fiscal 2005 included a $3.1 million positive impact on operating income from the cumulative gross margin adjustments discussed above under “Gross Profit” related to two large over-the-horizon microwave system contracts.

Our mobile data communications segment generated operating income of $21.7 million for fiscal 2006 compared to $11.9 million for fiscal 2005 due primarily to the significant increase in net sales and gross profit, partially offset by increased operating expenses, including increased research and development expenses. The operations relating to Tolt, which incurred an operating loss of $5.0 million in fiscal 2006, have been combined into our network operations center facility. In addition, fiscal 2006 and 2005 included positive impacts on operating income from the cumulative gross margin adjustments, net of the warranty provision in the fiscal 2006 period, discussed above under “Gross Profit” of $5.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

33



Operating income in our RF microwave amplifiers segment increased to $8.3 million for fiscal 2006 from $8.2 million for fiscal 2005. Operating income for fiscal 2006 includes a $0.5 million benefit from a positive gross margin adjustment on a contract discussed above under “Gross Profit.”

Unallocated operating expenses increased to $15.9 million for fiscal 2006 from $8.2 million for fiscal 2005 due primarily to the recording of $5.7 million of stock-based compensation expense associated with SFAS No. 123(R) and increased incentive compensation costs in connection with the significant increase in pre-tax income.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $2.7 million for both fiscal 2006 and 2005. Interest expense primarily relates to our 2.0% convertible senior notes issued in January 2004.

Interest Income. Interest income for fiscal 2006 was $9.2 million, as compared to $4.1 million for fiscal 2005. The $5.1 million increase was due primarily to an increase in interest rates and additional investable cash, primarily provided by our operating cash flow.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $25.2 million and $16.8 million for fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2006 was 35.8% as compared to 31.4% for fiscal 2005.

The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to (i) the increased level of pre-tax profit, (ii) the nondeductibility of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2006 relating to incentive stock options, (iii) the expiration, in December 2005, of the Federal research and experimentation credit, and (iv) the scheduled phase-out of the extraterritorial income exclusion which was slightly offset by the scheduled phase-in of the deduction for domestic production activities.

In fiscal 2006, we recorded a net tax benefit of $0.6 million primarily relating to the favorable settlement of a state tax matter. In fiscal 2005, we recorded a $1.1 million tax benefit related to the reduction in the valuation allowance that was established for the extended write-off period of acquired in-process research and development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents increased to $342.9 million at July 31, 2007 from $251.6 million at July 31, 2006, representing an increase of $91.3 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $89.2 million for fiscal 2007 compared to $44.3 million for fiscal 2006. This increase is primarily attributable to increased net income, depreciation, amortization (including the amortization of stock-based compensation) and advanced payments received from customers offset by net changes in other working capital accounts.

Net cash used in investing activities for fiscal 2007 was $16.1 million, of which $12.1 million was for purchases of property, plant and equipment including expenditures related to the continued expansion of our high-volume technology manufacturing center located in Tempe, Arizona, and continued enhancements to our network operations facility in Germantown, Maryland. In fiscal 2007 we paid $3.9 million relating to our acquisitions of Insite and Digicast. We currently expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 to be between $14 million and $15 million.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.1 million for fiscal 2007, primarily due to the exercises of stock-based awards, including the related income tax benefit.

Financing Arrangement

On January 27, 2004, we issued $105.0 million of our 2.0% convertible senior notes in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. For further information concerning this financing, see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 - 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024.”

Commitments

In the normal course of business, we routinely enter into binding and non-binding purchase obligations primarily covering anticipated purchases of inventory and equipment. We do not expect that these commitments as of July 31, 2007 will materially adversely affect our liquidity.

34



At July 31, 2007, we had contractual cash obligations to repay our 2.0% convertible senior notes, capital lease and operating lease obligations (including satellite lease expenditures relating to our mobile data communications segment contracts) and the financing of a purchase of proprietary technology. Payments due under these long-term obligations, excluding interest on the 2.0% convertible senior notes, are as follows:

As further discussed in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 8 - 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024,” we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the notes on or after February 4, 2009. Holders of our 2.0% convertible senior notes will have the right to require us to repurchase some or all of the outstanding notes on February 1, 2011, February 1, 2014 and February 1, 2019 and upon certain events. The notes can be converted, at the option of the noteholders, during the conversion period of September 17, 2007 through December 14, 2007. Upon receiving notification of a noteholder’s intent to convert, we, in accordance with the provisions of the indenture, will inform the noteholder of our intention to deliver shares of common stock or cash, or a combination thereof.

We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements with financial institutions relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts. At July 31, 2007, the balance of these agreements was $3.4 million.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future. In the event that we identify a significant acquisition that requires additional cash, we would seek to borrow funds or raise additional equity capital.

Legal Proceedings

Hurricane-Related Proceedings
During fiscal 2005, two of our leased facilities located in Florida experienced hurricane damage to both leasehold improvements and personal property. As of July 31, 2007, we have completed all restoration efforts relating to the hurricane damage and have recorded a $0.8 million insurance recovery receivable and accrued a total of $2.2 million for hurricane related costs. Despite a written agreement with the general contractor that we believe limits our liability for the cost of the repairs to the amount of insurance proceeds ultimately received from our insurance company, a dispute has arisen with the general contractor and a certain subcontractor over the subcontractor’s demand for payment directly from us (by virtue of a purported assignment of rights and other grounds) in an amount exceeding the insurance proceeds by $0.8 million, plus late charges, interest, fees, costs and certain treble damages. As a result of this dispute, we deposited approximately $1.4 million, representing the balance of the insurance proceeds received, in our attorney’s trust account and filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida. The general contractor and the subcontractor have filed separate and independent actions against us and our insurance company, all of which have now been consolidated under our original action. The Court has postponed the trial date several times and has not scheduled a new date. We have also filed a cross-claim against our insurance company asserting that the insurer is responsible for whatever liability, if any, we are ultimately adjudged to have to the general contractor or the subcontractor. However, to the extent that insurance recoveries are inadequate, we might be required to fund the shortfall. All parties have held and are currently engaged in mediation and settlement discussions. However, to date, no agreements have been reached. We do not expect that the outcome of this matter will have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition.

Other Legal Proceedings
In March 2007, a lawsuit was brought against us in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas by a company that claims that it was a consultant and a reseller of certain of our products and that it is owed damages for alleged lost profits, as well as punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees. We believe that we have substantial legal and factual defenses to the plaintiff’s allegations and we intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We do

35



not expect that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition.

We are party to certain other legal actions, which arise in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation is difficult to accurately predict, we believe that the outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB released SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”) to provide companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The objective of SFAS No. 159 is to reduce both the complexity in accounting for financial instruments and the volatility in earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of our fiscal 2009. Early adoption is permitted. We are not yet in a position to determine what, if any, effect SFAS No. 159 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) to clarify the definition of fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 will be effective for our first quarter of fiscal 2009 and we are currently evaluating the impact its adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”) which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. We adopted SAB No. 108 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 and its adoption had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law and prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition based on a determination of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. We adopted FIN 48 on August 1, 2007 and its adoption had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement” (“EITF 06-3”). EITF 06-3 provides that taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a revenue producing transaction between a seller and a customer should be shown in the income statement on either a gross or a net basis, based on the entity’s accounting policy, which should be disclosed pursuant to APB Opinion No. 22, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies.” We adopted EITF 06-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and continue to present taxes within the scope of EITF 06-3 on a net basis. As such, the adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates, primarily from our investment of available cash balances. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. If the interest rate we receive on our investment of available cash balances were to change by 10%, our interest income would be impacted by approximately $1.7 million.

Our 2.0% convertible senior notes bear a fixed rate of interest. As such, our earnings and cash flows are not sensitive to changes in interest rates on our long-term debt.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Comtech is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accounted accounting principles.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we determined that, as of July 31, 2007, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.

KPMG LLP (“KPMG”), our independent registered public accounting firm, has performed an audit of our assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007. This audit is required to be performed in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

37


Board (United States). Our independent auditors were given unrestricted access to all  financial  records and related data. KPMG’s audit reports appear on pages F-2 and F-3 of this annual report.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2007, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Notes 1(j) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, effective August 1, 2005.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 18, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of, and the effective operation of, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.:

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Comtech Telecommunications Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Comtech Telecommunications Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Comtech Telecommunications Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended July 31, 2007, and our report dated September 18, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report, dated September 18, 2007, refers to the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, effective August 1, 2005.

COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP.
AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

 

(1)

Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies

 

 

 

 

(a)

Principles of Consolidation

 

 

 

 

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Company”), all of which are wholly-owned. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

 

 

(b)

Nature of Business

 

 

 

 

 

The Company designs, develops, produces and markets innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s business is highly competitive and characterized by rapid technological change. The Company’s growth and financial position depends, among other things, on its ability to keep pace with such changes and developments and to respond to the sophisticated requirements of an increasing variety of electronic equipment users. Many of the Company’s competitors are substantially larger, and have significantly greater financial, marketing and operating resources and broader product lines than the Company. A significant technological breakthrough by others, including smaller competitors or new companies, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. In addition, certain of the Company’s customers have technological capabilities in the Company’s product areas and could choose to replace the Company’s products with their own.

 

 

 

 

 

International sales expose the Company to certain risks, including barriers to trade, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates (which may make the Company’s products less price competitive), political and economic instability, availability of suitable export financing, export license requirements, tariff regulations, and other United States (“U.S.”) and foreign regulations that may apply to the export of the Company’s products, as well as the generally greater difficulties of doing business abroad. The Company attempts to reduce the risk of doing business in foreign countries by seeking contracts denominated in U.S. dollars, advance or milestone payments, credit insurance and irrevocable letters of credit in its favor.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company currently provides mobile data communications products and services to the U.S. government under contracts which can be terminated at any time and are not subject to automatic renewals or extension. The loss of these contracts would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Revenue Recognition

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue is generally recognized when the earnings process is complete, upon shipment or customer acceptance. Revenue from contracts relating to the design, development or manufacturing of complex electronic equipment to a buyer’s specification or to provide services relating to the performance of such contracts is generally recognized in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position No. 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (“SOP No. 81-1”). The Company primarily applies the percentage-of-completion method and generally recognizes revenue based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs, or, alternatively, based on output measures, such as units delivered. Profits expected to be realized on such contracts are based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. Provision for anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts is made in the period in which such losses become evident. Long-term U.S. government cost-reimbursable type contracts are also specifically covered by Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43 “Government Contracts, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee Contracts” (“ARB 43”), in addition to SOP No. 81-1.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has historically demonstrated an ability to estimate contract revenues and expenses in applying the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. However, there exist risks and uncertainties in estimating future revenues and expenses, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. Changes to such estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue recognized in excess of amounts billable under long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method are recorded as unbilled receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Unbilled receivables are billable upon various events, including the attainment of performance milestones, delivery of hardware, submission of progress bills based on time and materials, or completion of the contract.

 

 

 

 

 

In the case of the Company’s mobile data communications segment’s MTS and BFT contracts with the U.S. Army, the Company utilizes the percentage-of-completion method. The Company does not recognize revenue, or record unbilled receivables, until it receives fully funded orders.

 

 

 

 

 

Almost all of the Company’s U.S. government revenues in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 are derived from firm fixed-price contracts. Under these types of contracts, the Company performs for an agreed-upon price and derives benefits from cost savings, but bears the risk of cost overruns. The Company’s cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, which to date have been insignificant, typically provide for reimbursement of allowable costs incurred plus a negotiated fee.

 

 

 

 

 

Most government contracts have termination for convenience clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract at any time. Historically, the Company has not experienced material contract terminations or write-offs of unbilled receivables. The Company addresses customer acceptance provisions in assessing its ability to perform its contractual obligations under long-term contracts. Historically, the Company has been able to perform on its long-term contracts.

 

 

 

 

 

Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method are accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each element’s relative fair value, if determinable, and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition criteria for each element are met.

 

 

 

 

(d)

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are both readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that have insignificant risk of change in value because of changes in interest rates. The Company’s cash equivalents, as of July 31, 2007 and 2006, amounted to $330,008,000 and $231,261,000, respectively, and primarily consist of money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities (with maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less). Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair market value. Restricted cash as of July 31, 2006 represents the amount the Company had pledged against guarantees of performance on certain of its contracts.

 

 

 

 

(e)

Inventories

 

 

 

 

 

Work-in-process inventory reflects all accumulated production costs, which are comprised of direct production costs and overhead, and is reduced by amounts recorded in cost of sales as the related revenue is recognized. These inventories are reduced to their estimated net realizable value by a charge to cost of sales in the period such excess costs are determined.

 

 

 

 

 

Raw materials and components and finished goods inventory are stated at the lower of cost or market, computed on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

(f)

Long-Lived Assets

 

 

 

 

 

The Company’s machinery and equipment, which are recorded at cost, are depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful lives (three to eight years) under the straight-line method. Capitalized values of properties and leasehold improvements under leases are amortized over the life of the lease or the estimated life of the asset, whichever is less.

 

 

 

 

 

Goodwill represents the excess cost of a business acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” goodwill is not amortized. The Company periodically, at least on an annual basis, reviews goodwill, considering factors such as projected cash flows and revenue and earnings multiples, to determine whether the carrying value of the goodwill is impaired. If the goodwill is deemed to be impaired, the difference between the carrying amount reflected in the financial statements and the estimated fair value is recognized as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurs. The Company defines its reporting units to be the same as its segments.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its other long-lived assets, including identifiable intangible assets with finite useful lives, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company evaluates the recoverability of such assets based upon the expectations of undiscounted cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss would be recognized for the difference between the fair value and the carrying amount.

 

 

 

 

(g)

Research and Development Costs

 

 

 

 

 

The Company charges research and development costs to operations as incurred, except in those cases in which such costs are reimbursable under customer funded contracts. In fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company was reimbursed by customers for such activities in the amount of $4,170,000, $4,409,000 and $3,001,000, respectively.

 

 

 

 

(h)

Income Taxes

 

 

 

 

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

 

 

 

 

 

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law and prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition based on a determination of whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. The Company adopted FIN 48 on August 1, 2007 and its adoption had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Earnings Per Share

 

 

 

 

 

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution from potential common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock awards and convertible senior notes, if dilutive, outstanding during each period. Equity-classified stock-based awards to purchase 706,000, 712,000 and 49,000 shares for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the EPS calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

 

 

 

Liability-classified stock-based awards do not impact and are not included in the denominator for EPS calculations.

 

 

 

 

 

In accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share,” the Company has (i) included the impact of the assumed conversion of its 2.0% convertible senior notes in calculating diluted EPS commencing in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2005, and (ii) restated prior periods’ diluted EPS.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

 

 

 

 

 

Effective August 1, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation for both equity and liability-classified awards is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The fair value of liability-classified awards is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the award is settled, with changes in fair value recognized pro-rata for the portion of the requisite service period rendered. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method and, as a result, periods prior to August 1, 2005 have not been restated.

Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in fiscal 2007 and 2006, $170,000 and $163,000, respectively, relates to stock-based awards issued pursuant to the ESPP. Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax recognized in fiscal 2007 and 2006, $38,000 and $0, respectively, related to awards of SARs. Stock-based compensation that was capitalized and included in ending inventory at July 31, 2007 and 2006 was $106,000 and $61,000, respectively.

 

 

 

During fiscal 2005 (and for periods prior to August 1, 2005), the Company recorded compensation expense for employee stock-based awards based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Since the exercise price for such stock-based awards was equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, the stock-based awards had no intrinsic value upon grant and, therefore, no expense was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2005 and prior.

 

 

 

Stock-based compensation expense, net of the related income tax benefit, resulted in a decrease of $0.22 and $0.15 in basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, for fiscal 2007. Stock-based compensation expense, net of the related income tax benefit, resulted in a decrease of $0.19 and $0.14 in basic and diluted earnings per share, respectively, for fiscal 2006.

Under the modified prospective method, SFAS No. 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards outstanding on the effective date that are subsequently modified or cancelled. Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been fully rendered as of July 31, 2005 is being recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under SFAS No. 123. Through July 31, 2007, the Company valued graded vesting awards based on vesting tanches. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company valued graded vesting awards based on the entire award for purposes of pro forma disclosure. The Company amortizes the fair values of all awards on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period. Cumulative compensation expense recognized at any date will at least equal the grant date fair value of the vested portion of the award at that time. Additionally, the Company includes the excess hypothetical tax benefit related to stock-based awards which were fully vested upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) when calculating earnings per share.

 

 

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yield, expected volatility, expected option terms and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect the Company’s best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of its control. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive stock-based awards.

 

 

 

The per share weighted average grant-date fair value of stock-based awards granted during fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $10.85, $14.03 and $8.52, respectively. In addition to the exercise and grant-date prices of the awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards in the respective periods are listed in the table below:

Stock-based awards granted during fiscal 2007 and 2006 have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term of five years and a vesting period of three years. All stock-based awards granted through July 31, 2005 had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term of ten years and generally a vesting period of five years. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with new shares. All SARs granted through July 31, 2007 may only be settled with cash.

 

 

The Company estimates expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of the Company’s stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in the Company’s stock and the Company’s expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected option term is the number of years that the Company estimates that options will be outstanding prior to exercise. The expected life of the awards issued after July 31, 2005 and through July 31, 2007 was determined using the “simplified method” prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107.

At July 31, 2007, total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based awards was $11,849,000, net of estimated forfeitures of $1,054,000. The net cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.

 

 

 

In August 2007, the Company authorized, in accordance with the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, 588,000 stock-based awards (including 9,500 SARs). Total unrecognized stock-based compensation, net of estimated forfeitures, related to these awards was approximately $8,784,000. These awards have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term of five years and a vesting period of five years. In accordance with SAB No. 107, the Company no longer utilized the “simplified method,” rather, it valued these awards based on the expected life of the total award with the expected life determined by employee groups with sufficiently distinct behavior patterns.

Financial Instruments

 

 

 

 

 

The Company believes that the book value of its current monetary assets and liabilities approximates fair value as a result of the short-term nature of such assets and liabilities. The Company further believes that the fair market value of its capital lease obligations does not differ materially from the carrying value. As of July 31, 2007, the Company estimates the fair market value of its 2.0% convertible senior notes to be approximately $150,000,000 based on recent trading activity.

 

 

 

 

(l)

Use of Estimates

 

 

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. The Company makes significant estimates in many areas of its accounting, including but not limited to the following: long-term contracts, stock-based compensation, intangible assets, provision for excess and obsolete inventory, allowance for doubtful accounts, warranty obligations and income taxes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Comprehensive Income

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” which requires companies to report all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners, for the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity (or other comprehensive income) such as unrealized gains/losses on securities classified as available-for-sale, foreign currency translation adjustments and minimum pension liability adjustments. Comprehensive income was the same as net income in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Acquisitions


 

 

 

In February 2005, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Tolt Technologies, Inc. (“Tolt”). Sales and income for fiscal 2005 relating to the Tolt assets acquired would not have been material to the Company’s results of operations for such period. The purchase price of the business was $3,735,000, including transaction costs of $235,000. Of the total purchase price excluding transaction costs, $2,500,000 was paid at closing and the remaining $1,000,000 was paid in fiscal 2006.

 

 

 

In August 2006, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (“Insite”), a logistics application software company, for $3,227,000, including transaction costs of $256,000. To date, the Company has paid $2,937,000 and has accrued business acquisition payments of $290,000. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company made its final guaranteed payment. In addition to the guaranteed purchase price, the Company may be required to make certain earn-out payments based on the achievement of future sales targets. The first part of the earn-out cannot exceed $1,350,000 and is limited to a five-year period. The second part of the earn-out, which is for a ten-year period, is unlimited and based on a per unit future sales target primarily relating to new commercial satellite-based mobile data communication markets. Insite has developed the geoOps™ Enterprise Location Management System, a software-based solution that allows customers to integrate legacy data systems with near-real time logistics and operational data systems. Sales and income for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 relating to the Insite assets acquired would not have been material to the Company’s results of operations for those periods. This operation was combined with the Company’s existing business and is part of the mobile data communications segment.


 

 

 

In February 2007, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Digicast Networks, Inc. (“Digicast”), a manufacturer of digital video broadcasting equipment, for $1,000,000. Sales and income for fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005 related to the Digicast assets acquired would not have been material to the Company’s results of operations for those periods. This operation was combined with the Company’s existing business and is part of the telecommunications transmission segment.

The valuation of existing technology was based primarily on the discounted capitalization of royalty expense saved because the Company now owns the asset. The valuation of other intangibles was primarily based on the value of the discounted cash flows that the related assets could be expected to generate in the future.

(8) 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

 

 

 

On January 27, 2004, the Company issued $105,000,000 of its 2.0% convertible senior notes in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from this transaction were $101,179,000 after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and other transaction costs of $3,821,000.

 

 

 

The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and, during certain periods, the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $31.50 per share (a conversion rate of 31.7460 shares per $1,000 original principal amount of notes), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The notes may be converted if, during a conversion period on each of at least 20 trading days, the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price in effect. Upon conversion of the notes, in lieu of delivering common stock, the Company may, in its discretion, deliver cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The notes can be converted, at the option of the noteholders, during the conversion period of September 17, 2007 through December 14, 2007. Upon receiving notification of a noteholder’s intent to convert, the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the indenture, will inform the noteholder of its intention to deliver shares of common stock or cash, or a combination thereof. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the notes on or after February 4, 2009. Holders of the notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of the outstanding notes on February 1, 2011, February 1, 2014 and February 1, 2019 and upon certain events, including a change in control. If not redeemed by the Company or repaid pursuant to the holders’ right to require repurchase, the notes mature on February 1, 2024. The notes have substantive conversion features as defined by EITF No. 05-1, “Accounting for the Conversion of an Instrument that Becomes Convertible Upon the Issuers Exercise of a Call Option.” Accordingly, the Company will not recognize a gain or loss if it issues common stock upon the conversion and settlement of these notes.

 

 

 

The 2.0% interest is payable in cash, semi-annually, through February 1, 2011. After such date, the 2.0% interest will be accreted into the principal amount of the notes. Also, commencing with the six-month period beginning February 1, 2009, if the average note price for the applicable trading period equals 120% or more of the accreted principal amount of such notes, the Company will pay contingent interest at an annual rate of 0.25%.

The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of its future subordinated indebtedness. All of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s (the “Parent”) wholly-owned subsidiaries have issued full and unconditional guarantees in favor of the holders of the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for the subsidiary that purchased Memotec, Inc. in fiscal 2004 (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”). Tolt, which was purchased in February 2005, became a guarantor in July 2005. These full and unconditional guarantees are joint and several. Other than supporting the operations of its subsidiaries, the Parent has no independent assets or operations and there are currently no significant restrictions on its ability, or the ability of the guarantors, to obtain funds from each other by dividend or loan. Consolidating financial information regarding the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiary can be found in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-29.


 

 

 

The net proceeds of the offering are being used for working capital and general corporate purposes and potentially may be used for future acquisitions of businesses or technologies or repurchases of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which has become effective, for the resale of the notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

The Company provides for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 requires an asset and liability based approach in accounting for income taxes. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of them will not be realized. As of July 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company’s deferred tax asset has been offset by a valuation allowance primarily related to state research and experimentation credits which may not be utilized in future periods. The Company must generate approximately $41,100,000 of taxable income to fully utilize its deferred tax assets. Management believes it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net deferred tax assets.

In fiscal 2006, the Company’s Federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 was selected for audit by the Internal Revenue Service. The audit is ongoing and additional income tax returns for other fiscal years may be examined. If the outcome of the audit differs materially from the Company’s original income tax provisions, the Company’s results of operations and financial position could be materially impacted. The years that remain open to examination by the U.S. Federal tax authorities are fiscal 2004 and forward. In addition, the Company is subject to taxes in various states and its Canadian subsidiary is subject to Canadian Federal and Provincial taxes. In general, these returns are open for examination by the applicable tax authorities for fiscal 2004 and forward.

Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

 

 

 

 

The Company issues stock-based awards pursuant to the following plans:


 

 

 

1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan – The 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, provided for the granting to key employees and officers of incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,345,625 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices generally not less than the fair market value at the date of grant with the exception of anyone who, prior to the grant, owns more than 10% of the voting power, in which case the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value. In addition, it provided formula grants to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The term of the options could be no more than ten years. However, for incentive stock options granted to any employee who, prior to the granting of the option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power, the option term could be no more than five years. As of July 31, 2007, the Company had granted stock-based awards representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,016,218 shares (net of 428,441 canceled awards) at prices ranging between $0.67 - $5.31 per share, of which 146,337 are outstanding at July 31, 2007. To date, 1,869,881 shares have been exercised. Outstanding awards have been transferred to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The terms applicable to these awards prior to the transfer continue to apply. The plan was terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors in December 1999 due to the approval by the shareholders of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

 

 

2000 Stock Incentive Plan – The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provides for the granting to all employees and consultants of the Company (including prospective employees and consultants) non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. In addition, employees of the Company are eligible to be granted incentive stock options. Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive non-discretionary grants of nonqualified stock options subject to certain limitations. The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued may not exceed 5,737,500 plus the shares that were transferred to the Plan relating to outstanding awards that were previously granted under the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, consistent with the terms of the Plan, will determine the types of awards to be granted, the terms and conditions of each award and the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award. Grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options may not have a term exceeding ten years or no more than five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a stockholder who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power. As of July 31, 2007, the Company had granted stock-based awards representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 4,861,885 shares (net of 547,415 canceled awards) at prices ranging between $3.13 - $44.75 of which 2,353,680 are outstanding at July 31, 2007. As of July 31, 2007, 2,508,205 stock-based awards have been exercised. All stock-based awards granted through July 31, 2005 had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and a term of ten years. All stock-based

2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan – The ESPP was approved by the shareholders on December 12, 2000, and 675,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were reserved for issuance. The ESPP is intended to provide eligible employees of the Company the opportunity to acquire common stock in the Company at 85% of fair market value at date of issuance through participation in the payroll-deduction based ESPP. Through fiscal 2007, the Company issued 260,587 shares of its common stock to participating employees in connection with the ESPP.

Segment Information

 

 

 

Reportable operating segments are determined based on the Company’s management approach. The management approach, as defined by SFAS No. 131, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance. While the Company’s results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in three operating segments: (i) telecommunications transmission, (ii) mobile data communications and (iii) RF microwave amplifiers. Telecommunications transmission products include satellite earth station products (such as analog and digital modems, frequency converters, power amplifiers, and voice gateways) and over-the-horizon microwave communications products and systems. Mobile data communications products include satellite-based mobile location, tracking and messaging hardware and related services. RF microwave amplifier products include solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifier products that use the microwave and radio frequency spectrums.

 

 

 

Unallocated expenses result from such corporate expenses as legal, accounting and executive compensation. In addition, for fiscal 2007 and 2006, unallocated expenses include $7,401,000 and $5,681,000 of stock-based compensation expense, respectively. There was no stock-based compensation expense recorded for fiscal 2005. Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) associated with the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes is not allocated to the operating segments. Depreciation and amortization includes amortization of stock-based compensation. Unallocated assets consist principally of cash, deferred financing costs and deferred tax assets. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

 

(a)

Operating Leases

 

 

 

The Company is obligated under noncancellable operating lease agreements, including satellite lease expenditures relating to its mobile data communications segment contracts. At July 31, 2007, the future minimum lease payments under operating leases are as follows:

Thereafter

Total

 

$

21,760,000

 

 

 



 


 

 

 

Lease expense charged to operations was $3,871,000, $3,379,000 and $3,018,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Lease expense excludes satellite lease expenditures incurred of approximately $15,456,000, $13,382,000 and $11,854,000 in fiscal 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, relating to the Company’s mobile data communications segment. Satellite lease expenditures are allocated to individual contracts and expensed to cost of sales.


 

 

 

 

 

In December 1991, the Company and a partnership controlled by the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President entered into an agreement in which the Company leases from the partnership its Melville, New York production facility. The lease was for an initial term of ten years. In December 2001, the Company exercised its option for an additional ten-year period. For financial reporting purposes, the lease for the extension period is an operating lease. The annual rentals, of approximately $552,000 for fiscal 2007, are subject to annual adjustments equal to the lesser of 5% or the change in the Consumer Price Index.

 

 

 

 

(b)

United States Government Contracts

 

 

 

 

 

Certain of the Company’s contracts are subject to audit by applicable governmental agencies. Until such audits are completed, the ultimate profit on these contracts cannot be determined; however, it is management’s belief that the final contract settlements will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

 

 

(c)

Legal Proceedings

 

 

 

 

 

Hurricane-Related Proceedings

 

 

During fiscal 2005, two of the Company’s leased facilities located in Florida experienced hurricane damage to both leasehold improvements and personal property. As of July 31, 2007, the Company has completed all restoration efforts relating to the hurricane damage and has recorded an $816,000 insurance recovery receivable and accrued a total of $2,240,000 for hurricane related costs. Despite a written agreement with the general contractor that the Company believes limits its liability for the cost of the repairs to the amount of insurance proceeds ultimately received from its insurance company, a dispute has arisen with the general contractor and a certain subcontractor over the subcontractor’s demand for payment directly from the Company (by virtue of a purported assignment of rights and other grounds) in an amount exceeding the insurance proceeds by $816,000, plus late charges, interest, fees, costs and certain treble damages. As a result of this dispute, the Company deposited $1,422,000, representing the balance of the insurance proceeds it has received, in its attorneys’ trust account and filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida. The general contractor and the subcontractor have filed separate and independent actions against the Company and its insurance company, all of which have now been consolidated under the Company’s original action. The Court has postponed its anticipated trial date several times and has not scheduled a new trial date. The Company has also filed a cross-claim against its insurance company asserting that the insurer is responsible for whatever liability, if any, the Company is

ultimately adjudged to have to the general contractor or the subcontractor. However, to the extent that insurance recoveries are inadequate, the Company might be required to fund the shortfall. All parties have held and are currently engaged in mediation and settlement discussions. However, to date, no agreements have been reached. The Company does not expect that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition.

 

 

 

 

 

Other Legal Proceedings

 

 

In March 2007, a lawsuit was brought against the Company in the Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas by a company that claims that it was a consultant and a reseller of certain of the Company’s products and that it is owed damages for alleged lost profits, as well as punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees. The Company believes that it has substantial legal and factual defenses to the plaintiff’s allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. The Company does not expect that the ultimate outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition.

 

 

 

 

 

The Company is subject to certain other legal actions, which arise in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation is difficult to accurately predict, the Company believes that the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.


 

 

 

 

(d)

Employment and Change of Control Agreements

 

 

 

 

 

The Company has employment agreements with its Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President, and its Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The employment agreements generally provide for an annual salary and bonus award. The Company has also entered into change of control agreements with certain of its officers. All of the agreements may require payments, in certain circumstances, in the event of a change in control of the Company.

 

 

 

(14)

Stockholder Rights Plan

 

 

 

 

 

On December 15, 1998, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan in which one stock purchase right (“Right”) was distributed as a dividend on each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on January 4, 1999. Under the plan, the Rights will be exercisable only if triggered by a person or group’s acquisition of 15% or more of the Company’s common stock. If triggered, each Right, other than Rights held by the acquiring person or group, would entitle its holder to purchase a specified number of the Company’s common shares for 50% of their market value at that time. Unless a 15% acquisition has occurred, the Rights may be redeemed by the Company at any time prior to the termination date of the plan.

 

 

 

 

 

This Right to purchase common stock at a discount will not be triggered by a person or group’s acquisition of 15% or more of the common stock pursuant to a tender or exchange offer which is for all outstanding shares at a price and on terms that the Company’s Board of Directors determines (prior to acquisition) to be adequate and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Rights will expire on December 15, 2008.

Exhibit 10(a)

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated September 17, 2007 between Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the “Company”) and Fred Kornberg (“Kornberg”).

Kornberg is presently Chairman of the Board of Directors, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and is employed pursuant to an employment agreement dated June 2, 2003, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”). The Company and Kornberg now desire to enter into an amended and restated employment agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, the Company and Kornberg hereby amend and restate the Prior Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

1.    The Company hereby employs Kornberg as general manager and chief executive officer of its business for the period (hereinafter referred to as the “Employment Period”) commencing August 1, 2007 and, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 6 hereof, terminating at the close of business on July 31, 2010. Kornberg shall have supervision over the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries, shall report and be responsible only to the Board of Directors of the Company, and shall have powers and authority superior to those of any other officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Kornberg accepts such employment and agrees to devote his full business time and effort to the business and affairs of the Company and, subject to his election as such, to serve as a director and as Chairman of the Board and President of the Company. He shall not be required to relocate his principal residence or to perform services which would make the continuance of such residence inconvenient to him. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, if Kornberg remains employed by the Company following the expiration of the Employment Period, his employment with the Company shall be “at will.”

2.    The Company shall pay to Kornberg, for all services rendered by him during the Employment Period, compensation as follows:

(a)  Salary (“Base Salary”) at the annual rate of $675,000, commencing on the date hereof, plus such additional amounts, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine, payable in accordance with the Company’s current practice. Once increased, the Base Salary may not be decreased without Kornberg’s prior written consent.

(b)  Incentive compensation (“Incentive Compensation”) for each fiscal year in which any part of the Employment Period falls in an amount equal to 3.0% of the Company’s Pre-Tax Income for each such fiscal year; provided, however, that (i) the amount payable under this Paragraph 2(b) in respect of a completed fiscal year and paid at a time that Kornberg remains employed shall be reduced such that the amount, together with Base Salary projected to be payable in that fiscal year, will equal $1 million (references to “Incentive Compensation” elsewhere in this Agreement refer to the amount calculated without regard to this

 



 

reduction); and (ii) if the Employment Period terminates earlier than at the end of a fiscal year, Incentive Compensation shall be based upon the Company’s Pre-Tax Income for the then current fiscal year through the most recent fiscal quarter ended prior to such termination. In addition, Kornberg may receive from time to time, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”), additional incentive compensation, which may be intended to comply with the “performance-based compensation” exception under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan on such terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee. For purposes of this Paragraph 2(b):

(i)         The Company’s “Pre-Tax Income” for any fiscal year or period shall be the consolidated earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year or period, as determined by the independent accounting firm employed by the Company as its regular auditors in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, before (A) any extraordinary item, (B) provision for federal, state or municipal income taxes thereon, (C) provision for any Incentive Compensation payable to Kornberg hereunder, (D) any write-off of in-process research and development acquired, (E) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, any non-recurring items, (F) any amortization of intangibles relating to future acquisitions, and (G) any stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit under SFAS 123(R).

(ii)         Incentive Compensation payable with respect to any fiscal year shall be paid in cash to Kornberg in the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which it relates promptly after completion of the Company’s audited year-end financial statements for such fiscal year (but in any event by the end of that following fiscal year) and at the same time as incentive compensation is paid to the other most senior executive officers of the Company, or, for purposes of the proviso in Paragraph 2(b), promptly after completion of the relevant unaudited quarterly statements, as the case may be. If Kornberg voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company other than as permitted by Paragraph 6(b) of this Agreement, or if the Company terminates his employment for “cause” as defined in Paragraph 6(a) hereof, Kornberg shall forfeit his right to receive any Incentive Compensation accrued but unpaid in accordance with this Paragraph 2(b)(ii).

3.    During the Employment Period, Kornberg shall be entitled to participate in, and receive benefits in accordance with, the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs at the time maintained by the Company for its executives, subject to the provisions of such plans and programs. In addition, during the Employment Period, the Company will provide Kornberg, at the Company’s expense, with an automobile similar to the automobile currently furnished to Kornberg or, alternatively, a monthly automobile allowance equal to an amount required to lease such an automobile.

4.    During the Employment Period, Kornberg shall be entitled to receive reimbursement for all expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with his duties hereunder in accordance with the usual procedures of the Company.

5.    (a) During the Employment Period, Kornberg shall be entitled to annual reimbursement from the Company of the cost of premiums paid by Kornberg to secure such life

 

 

2

 



 

insurance coverage on Kornberg’s life as Kornberg determines in his discretion; provided that the Company’s maximum annual reimbursement obligation under this Paragraph 5(a) shall be capped based on the annual cost of a customary term life insurance policy with a maximum face amount of $3.5 million (or, if higher, five times Kornberg’s then Base Salary) purchased for a five-year term for a non-smoker at the same age as Kornberg as of the date hereof, such cost to be determined within six months after the date hereof. This benefit is intended to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any group life insurance coverage provided by the Company.

(b)  In addition to the insurance provided for in Paragraph 5(a) hereof, the Company, in its discretion, and at its own cost and expense, may also obtain insurance covering Kornberg’s life in such amount as it considers advisable, payable to the Company, and Kornberg agrees to cooperate fully to enable the Company to obtain such insurance.

6.

The Employment Period may be terminated only as follows:

(a)  By action of the Board of Directors of the Company, upon notice to Kornberg, if during the Employment Period Kornberg shall fail to render the services provided for hereunder for a continuous period of 12 months because of his physical or mental incapacity, or for “cause,” which shall mean (i) willful misconduct, gross negligence, dishonesty, misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud by Kornberg with regard to the Company or any of its assets or businesses; (ii) conviction of Kornberg or the pleading of nolo contendere with regard to any felony or crime (for the purpose hereof, traffic violations and misdemeanors shall not be deemed to be a crime); or (iii) any material breach by Kornberg of the provisions of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty days after written notice to Kornberg of such breach from the Board of Directors of the Company.

(b)  By Kornberg, on thirty days notice to the Company within one year (or within two years as set forth in clause (B) of the preamble to Paragraph 7) after a Change in Control of the Company, as defined in Paragraph 7(d) hereof, occurs.

(c)  By Kornberg, voluntarily upon ninety days prior written notice other than under Paragraph 6(b).

7.    If either (A) Kornberg terminates the Employment Period in accordance with Paragraph 6(b) hereof, or (B) following the Employment Period Kornberg remains employed by the Company and during the two year period following the end of the Employment Period he terminates his employment on thirty days notice to the Company within two years after a Change in Control of the Company that occurred during the Employment Period, the following provisions shall apply:

(a)  Subject to Paragraph 7(c) hereof, the Company shall pay to Kornberg, within 30 days after the effective date of the termination (the “Effective Date”), subject to Paragraph 15(c) hereof, a lump sum equal to:

(i)         the greater of (x) Kornberg’s Base Salary, at the rate in effect at the time such notice is given, for the full unexpired term of the Employment Period, and (y) three times Kornberg’s Base Salary then in effect; plus:

 

 

3

 



 

 

(ii)         the amount of any unpaid Incentive Compensation (x) accrued with respect to any fiscal year ended prior to the Effective Date, and/or (y) with respect to the then current fiscal year, pursuant to the proviso in Paragraph 2(b).

(b)  Subject to Paragraph 15(c) hereof to the extent considered to result in the “deferral of compensation” under Code Section 409A, for the greater of (x) the full unexpired term of the Employment Period (but not beyond the December 31, of the second calendar year following termination) or (y) the two year period following Kornberg’s termination (the “Continuation Period”), the Company shall continue Kornberg’s participation in each employee benefit plan or reimbursement arrangement (including, without limitation, life insurance (and the life insurance reimbursement provided in Paragraph 5(a) above) and medical plans and including, to the extent allowed, amending such plans) in which Kornberg was entitled to participate immediately prior to the Effective Date as if he continued to be employed by the Company hereunder. If the terms of any benefit plan of the Company may not under Section 401(a) or other similar provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), permit continued participation by Kornberg, the Company will arrange to credit to Kornberg benefits substantially equivalent to, as to time and amount, and no less favorable than, on an after-tax basis, the benefits he would have been entitled to receive under such plan (assuming he had elected to participate voluntarily to the maximum extent permissible) if he had been continuously employed by the Company during the Continuation Period with payment of any accrued amount on the date of the end of the Continuation Period. Kornberg shall have the option to have assigned to him, at no cost and with no apportionment of prepaid premiums, any assignable insurance policies owned by the Company that relate specifically to Kornberg and are payable to his estate or his designee(s).

(c)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amounts payable to Kornberg under Paragraph 7(a) shall be equal to whichever of the following amounts shall result in the greater after-tax payment to Kornberg, after application of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to such payments:

(i)         the amount otherwise payable under Paragraph 7(a) without regard to this Paragraph 7(c); and

(ii)         the amount payable in (i) above, reduced by the total amounts payable under Paragraph 7(a) and (b) to the extent included as parachute payments under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, but only to the extent such amounts included as parachute payments exceed 299% of Kornberg’s “Base Amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) and (d)(1) and (2) of the Code.

The calculation of after-tax payments under this Paragraph 7(c) shall be made by independent public accountants selected by Kornberg and consented to by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The fees and expenses of such accountants shall be borne by the Company.

(d)  Except as provided below, for purposes of this Agreement a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred:

 

 

4

 



 

 

(i)         upon any “person” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (other than the Company, any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan of the Company, or any company owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of common stock of the Company), becoming the owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities;

(ii)         during any period of two (2) consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors of the Company, and any new director (other than a director designated by a person who has entered into an agreement with the Company to effect a transaction described in sub-paragraph (i), (iii), or (iv) of this Paragraph or a director whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of either an actual or threatened election contest (as such term is used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board of Directors of the Company) whose election by the Board of Directors of the Company or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of the two-year period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company;

(iii)        upon a merger or consolidation of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; provided, however, that a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the Company (or similar transaction) in which no person (other than those covered by the exceptions in (i) above) acquires more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities shall not constitute a Change in Control of the Company; or

(iv)        upon the stockholders of the Company approval of a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or persons who beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company at the time of the sale.

(e) In connection with a termination of Kornberg’s employment triggering payments and benefits under this Paragraph 7, Kornberg shall have no further obligations hereunder and shall be under no duty to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate his damages, and no compensation or other payment from a third party shall reduce or offset his damages.

 

 

5

 



 

 

8.    (a) In order to induce Kornberg to enter into this Agreement, the Company agrees that if it terminates Kornberg’s employment hereunder without cause, or if it otherwise breaches this Agreement and Kornberg terminates his employment as a result of such breach, Kornberg shall have no further obligations hereunder and shall be under no duty to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate his damages, no compensation or other payment from a third party shall reduce or offset his damages, and the Company shall pay Kornberg the following amounts as liquidated damages in lieu of any further obligations hereunder:

(i)         Subject to Paragraph 15(c), an amount equal to his total Base Salary, at the rate in effect at the time of such breach, for the full unexpired term of the Employment Period, such amount to be payable within 10 days after such termination; plus

(ii)         Subject to Paragraph 15(c), an amount equal to his Incentive Compensation for the full fiscal year in which the breach occurs;

(iii)        for the 18 month period following Kornberg’s termination, the Company shall continue Kornberg’s participation in the Company’s medical plans (under COBRA) as if he continued to be employed by the Company hereunder; and

(iv)        for the two year period following Kornberg’s termination, the Company shall continue Kornberg’s participation in the Company’s life insurance plan or continue to provide the life insurance reimbursement provided in Paragraph 5(a) above, as applicable, as if he continued to be employed by the Company hereunder;

provided however, that if a Change in Control of the Company has occurred at any time prior to the date of such breach, Kornberg shall be entitled to receive as liquidated damages amounts and benefits equal to the amounts and benefits he would have been entitled to receive pursuant to Paragraph 7 hereof (including Paragraph 7(c)) if he had terminated the Employment Period effective on the date of breach, to the extent such payments or benefits would exceed the level of corresponding payments or benefits under this Paragraph 8(a) (i.e., without duplication of the payments and benefits provided in this Paragraph 8(a)).

(b)  The Company shall be responsible for Kornberg’s reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements in any action to recover any amounts due him or obtain other relief under this Agreement or in any action relating to a breach by the Company of this Agreement.

9.    (a) Kornberg acknowledges that his services hereunder are of a special and unique nature and his position with the Company places him in a position of confidence and trust with clients and employees of the Company. Therefore, and in consideration of the Company’s performance of its covenants and agreements under this Agreement, Kornberg will not at any time during his employment with the Company and for a period of two years thereafter (the “Restrictive Period”), directly or indirectly, engage in any business (as an owner, joint venturer, partner, stockholder, director, officer, consultant, agent or otherwise, other than as the owner of less than 1% of the outstanding class of a publicly traded security) which competes with the business in which the Company is presently engaged or may be engaged at any time during his employment with the Company.

(b)   Kornberg agrees that he will not (except on behalf of the Company during his employment with the Company), during the Restrictive Period, employ or retain, solicit the employment or retention of, or knowingly cause or encourage any entity to retain or solicit the employment or retention of, any person who is or was an employee of the Company at any time during the period commencing 12 months prior to the termination of Kornberg’s employment with the Company. After termination of Kornberg’s employment with the Company: (i) Kornberg will refrain from disparaging, whether orally, in writing or in other media, the Company, its affiliates, the officers, directors and employees of each of them, and the products and services of each of them, and (ii) the Company will not disparage Kornberg or otherwise comment upon the employment performance of Kornberg other than as may be required by law or as requested by Kornberg.

(c)  Any discovery, design, invention or improvement (whether or not patentable) that Kornberg develops during his employment with the Company (whether or not during his regular working hours or on the Company’s premises) and that is related to the Company’s business or operations as then conducted or contemplated, shall belong solely to the Company and shall be promptly disclosed to the Company. During the period of his employment with the Company and thereafter, Kornberg shall, without additional compensation, execute and deliver to the Company any instruments of transfer and take any other action that the Company may reasonably request to carry out the provisions of this Paragraph, including executing and filing, at the Company’s expense, patent and/or copyright applications and assignments of such applications to the Company.

(d)  Kornberg will not at any time, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any third party or use (except as authorized in the regular course of the Company’s business or in Kornberg’s performance of his responsibilities as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information that was either acquired by him during his employment with the Company or thereafter, including, without limitation, sales and marketing information, information relating to existing or prospective customers and markets, business opportunities, and financial, technical and other data (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). After termination of Kornberg’s employment with the Company for any reason and upon the written request of the Company, Kornberg shall promptly return to the Company all originals and/or copies of written or recorded material (regardless of the medium) containing or reflecting any Confidential Information and shall promptly confirm in writing to the Company that such action has been taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute Confidential Information: (i) information that is already in the public domain at the time of its disclosure to Kornberg; (ii) information that, after its disclosure to Kornberg, becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise other than through Kornberg’s act; and (iii) information that Kornberg received from a third party having the right to make such disclosure without restriction on disclosure or use thereof.

10.   Kornberg acknowledges that, in view of the nature of the Company’s business, the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its affiliates and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, Kornberg agrees that, in addition to such money damages, he may be restrained and enjoined from any continuing breach of such covenants

without any bond or other security being required by any court. In the event of a material violation by Kornberg of any provision of Paragraph 9 hereof, any severance compensation being paid to Kornberg pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall immediately cease, and any severance compensation previously paid to Kornberg (other than $1,000) shall be immediately repaid to the Company. If any restriction contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or geographical scope, or otherwise, then the court making such determination shall have the right to reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provisions hereof, and in its reduced form such restriction shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated thereby.

11. In consideration of the payments and other undertakings set forth herein, Kornberg acknowledges that upon the termination of his employment with this Company, the execution of a release, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, is an express condition to his right to receive severance compensation pursuant to Paragraphs 7 and 8 hereof in the event such Paragraphs are applicable.

12. Any offer, notice, request or other communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if hand delivered or mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the respective address of each party hereinafter set forth, or to such other address as each party may designate by a notice pursuant hereto, which change of address notice shall be effective upon receipt thereof:

13. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held for any reason to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect.

14. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of this Paragraph 14, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, and shall be deemed to refer with equal force and effect to, any corporate or other successor to the Company which shall acquire, directly or indirectly, by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise, all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. This Agreement shall not be assignable by the Company or any such successor, except to the corporate or other successor referred to in the preceding sentence. Kornberg may not assign, pledge or encumber his interest in this Agreement without the written consent of the Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Kornberg, his heirs and personal representatives. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement by the Company and Kornberg with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements or understandings between Kornberg and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument executed by Kornberg and the Company. This Agreement shall be construed and

enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

15.   (a) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

 

(b)  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If Kornberg notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that Kornberg believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause Kornberg to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, the Company shall, after consulting with Kornberg, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Kornberg and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

 

(c)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, payments to be made hereunder upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and, if Kornberg is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is specified as subject to this Paragraph, such payment or benefit shall be made or provided (subject to the last sentence of this Paragraph 15(c)) at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Kornberg, and (ii) the date of Kornberg’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Paragraph 15(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Kornberg in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the foregoing applies to the provision of any ongoing welfare benefits to Kornberg that would not be required to be delayed if the premiums therefor were paid by Kornberg, Kornberg shall pay the full cost of the premiums for such welfare benefits during the Delay Period and the Company shall pay Kornberg an amount equal to the amount of such premiums paid by Kornberg during the Delay Period promptly after its conclusion.

 

(d)  Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, in the event that Kornberg becomes liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty under Code Section 409A or any damages resulting from the failure of the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or any other arrangement between Kornberg and the Company to comply with Code Section 409A, Kornberg shall be entitled to receive an additional gross-up payment from the Company to fully indemnify him on an after-tax basis for the effect of such additional tax,

 

 

9

 



 

interest, penalty or damages. Such additional gross-up payment shall be made within ninety days following the date on which Kornberg remits such additional tax, interest, penalty or damages.

 

(e)  Any expense reimbursement under Paragraph 4, 5(a), 7(b), 8(a)(iv) or 8(b) hereof shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Kornberg, and no such reimbursement or the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.

EX-10.(B) 7 d72705_ex10-b.htm AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN COMTECH AND ROBERT G. ROUSE

Exhibit 10(b)


 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT dated September 17, 2007 (this “Agreement”) between Comtech Telecommunications Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Robert G. Rouse (“Executive”).

WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Executive is employed as a senior executive of the Company pursuant to an employment agreement dated as of June 2, 2003, as amended (the “Prior Agreement”). The Company and Executive now desire to enter into an amended and restated employment agreement on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, the Company and Executive hereby amend and restate the Prior Agreement to read in its entirety as follows:

1.    Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth below and shall include the plural as well as the singular:

(a)  “Affiliate” shall mean any Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, any other Person.

(b)  “Annual Base Salary” shall mean Executive’s annual base salary, as determined from time to time in accordance with Section 5(a) hereof.

(c)  “Cause” shall mean the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any of the reasons or causes set forth below:

(i)         willful misconduct, gross negligence, dishonesty, misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud by Executive with regard to the Company or any of its assets or businesses;

(ii)         conviction of Executive or the pleading of nolo contendere with regard to any felony or crime (for the purpose hereof, traffic violations and misdemeanors shall not be deemed to be a crime); or

(iii)        any material breach by Executive of the provisions of this Agreement which is not cured within thirty days after written notice to Executive of such breach from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

(d)  “Disability” shall mean the inability to perform substantially all of Executive’s duties in the capacity hereinafter set forth for a period of not less than 60 consecutive days or any 90 days in any six-month period.

 

 

Page 1 of 12

 



 

 

(e)  “Person” shall mean any individual, partnership, firm, trust, corporation or other similar entity. When two or more Persons act as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group for the purpose of acquiring, holding or disposing of securities of the Company, such syndicate or group shall be deemed a “Person” for purposes of this Agreement.

2.    Employment. The Company hereby employs Executive in the capacity hereinafter set forth, and Executive accepts such employment, upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

3.    Term. This Agreement shall be for a term commencing on August 1, 2007 and, except as otherwise provided in Sections 7, 8 and 9 hereof, terminating at the close of business on July 31, 2009 (the “Expiration Date”). The period during which Executive is employed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is referred to hereafter as the “Term.” Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, if Executive remains employed by the Company following the Expiration Date, his employment with the Company shall be “at will.”

4.    Duties and Responsibilities. During the Term, Executive shall serve as and have the title of Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, or such other equivalent or more senior positions and titles as the Board of Directors of the Company may determine. In serving in such capacities, he shall perform such duties and have such responsibilities, consistent with his executive position, as the Board of Directors of the Company and/or the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, may from time to time determine and assign to Executive. Executive shall perform his duties hereunder at the Company’s principal executive offices in Melville, New York or such other location within Long Island at which such offices may be located from time to time in the discretion of the Board of Directors, and shall travel as may be required from time to time in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder. During the Term, Executive agrees that he will (i) devote his full business time, attention, skill and efforts to the performance of his duties hereunder and (ii) generally promote the interests of the Company and its clients.

5.    Compensation. As compensation for services hereunder and in consideration of the covenants contained herein, during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to receive the following compensation:

(a)  Base Compensation. The Company shall pay Executive, in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and subject to required withholding, an annual base salary (“Annual Base Salary”) during the Term at the rate per annum of $385,000 commencing on the date hereof. The Company’s Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, increase the Annual Base Salary. Once increased, the Annual Base Salary may not be decreased without Executive’s prior written consent.

(b)  Incentive Compensation. Incentive compensation (“Incentive Compensation”) for each fiscal year in which any part of the Term falls in an amount equal to 1.0% of the Company’s Pre-Tax Income for each such fiscal year; provided, however, that (i) the amount payable under this Section 5(b) in respect of a complete fiscal year and paid at a time that Executive remains employed shall be reduced such that the amount, together with Annual Base Salary projected to be payable in that fiscal year, will equal $1 million (references to “Incentive Compensation” elsewhere in this Agreement refer to the amount calculated without regard to this

 

Page 2 of 12

 

 



 

reduction); and (ii) if the Term terminates earlier than at the end of a fiscal year, Incentive Compensation shall be based upon the Company’s Pre-Tax Income for the then current fiscal year through the most recent fiscal quarter ended prior to such termination. In addition, Executive may receive from time to time, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”), additional incentive compensation, which may be intended to comply with the “performance-based compensation” exception under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan on such terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation Committee. For purposes of this Section 5(b):

(i)         The Company’s “Pre-Tax Income” for any fiscal year or period shall be the consolidated earnings of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year or period, as determined by the independent accounting firm employed by the Company as its regular auditors in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis, before (A) any extraordinary item, (B) provision for federal, state or municipal income taxes thereon, (C) provision for any Incentive Compensation payable to Executive hereunder, (D) any write-off of in-process research and development acquired, (E) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee, any non-recurring items, (F) any amortization of intangibles relating to future acquisitions, and (G) any stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit under SFAS 123(R).

(ii)         Incentive Compensation payable with respect to any fiscal year shall be paid in cash to Executive in the fiscal year following the fiscal year to which it relates promptly after completion of the Company’s audited year-end financial statements for such fiscal year (but in any event by the end of the following fiscal year) and at the same time as such Incentive Compensation is paid to the other most senior executive officers of the Company, or, for purposes of the proviso in Section 5(b), promptly after completion of the relevant unaudited quarterly statements, as the case may be.

6.    Other Compensation and Benefits. In addition to the compensation provided for under Section 5, during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to:

(a)  participate in all benefit, pension, retirement, savings, welfare and other employee benefit plans and policies in which members of the Company’s senior management generally are entitled to participate, in accordance with their respective terms as in effect from time to time;

(b)  receive all fringe benefits and perquisites generally maintained by the Company from time to time for members of senior management, including, without limitation, reimbursement for all reasonable, ordinary and necessary business and entertainment expenses incurred in the performance of his services hereunder, in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time;

(c)  the accrual of vacation days at the rate of four weeks per annum in accordance with the Company’s policies as in effect from time to time; and

 

 

Page 3 of 12

 

 



 

 

(d)  annual reimbursement from the Company of the cost of premiums paid by Executive to secure such life insurance coverage on Executive’s life as Executive determines in his discretion; provided that the Company’s maximum annual reimbursement obligation under this Section 6(d) shall be capped based on the annual cost of a customary term life insurance policy with a maximum face amount of $1 million purchased for a five-year term for a non-smoker at the same age as Executive as of the date hereof, such cost to be determined within six months after the date hereof. This benefit is intended to be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any group life insurance coverage provided by the Company. (In addition to this insurance, the Company, in its discretion, and at its own cost and expense, may also obtain insurance covering Executive’s life in such amount as it considers advisable, and payable to the Company. Executive agrees to cooperate fully to enable the Company to obtain such insurance.)

7.

Termination by the Company for Cause or Disability.

(a)  Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company may immediately terminate Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause upon written notice of such termination, and Executive may voluntarily resign his employment with the Company either prior to a Change in Control or following a Change in Control in which no material diminution in his responsibilities occurs (as described in Section 9(b) hereof) upon ninety days advance written notice of such resignation, and in each such case the Company shall have no other liability or obligation to Executive hereunder except to pay to Executive, when otherwise due: (i) all accrued and unpaid Annual Base Salary to the date of termination and (ii) reimbursement of any unpaid business expenses.

(b)  In the event of Executive’s Disability, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment hereunder upon 30 days prior written notice, in which case the Company shall have no other liability or obligation to Executive hereunder except to pay to Executive (i) all accrued and unpaid Annual Base Salary to the date of termination, (ii) reimbursement of any unpaid business expenses, and (iii) subject to Section 21(c) hereof, any accrued but unpaid Incentive Compensation under Section 5(b) for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the termination occurs and/or for the then current fiscal year, pursuant to the proviso in Section 5(b) (the payments provided for under clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) of this Section 7(b) being collectively referred to as the “Accrued Obligations”).

8.    Death of Executive. In the event of Executive’s death, the Term of this Agreement shall terminate and the Company shall have no other liability or obligation to Executive hereunder other than to pay to Executive’s estate the Accrued Obligations.

9.

Other Termination by Company.

(a)  Subject to Section 9(b), in the event the Company terminates Executive’s employment hereunder prior to the Expiration Date other than pursuant to Section 7 or 8 hereof, then Executive shall be entitled, subject to Section 12 hereof, to receive from the Company (i) the Accrued Obligations, (ii) continued medical and dental benefits coverage through the Expiration Date (but in no event longer than 18 months following termination of employment) and (iii) as severance compensation, subject to Section 21(c) hereof in the case of amounts in excess of the “Separation Pay Limit” (as defined in Section 21(c)) to the extent the Separation

 

Page 4 of 12

 

 



 

Pay Limit is applicable, continued payment of the Annual Base Salary (at the rate then in effect) through the Expiration Date (subject to applicable withholding), payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to pay severance compensation under this Section 9 shall terminate upon a material breach by Executive of his obligations under Section 10 hereof. Executive acknowledges and agrees that (i) the severance compensation provided under this Section 9 shall be in lieu of any other severance benefits to which Executive may otherwise be entitled, all rights to which Executive hereby irrevocably waives, and (ii) the failure of the Company to offer to continue Executive’s employment from and after the Expiration Date shall not entitle Executive to any severance compensation under this Agreement.

(b)  If the Company terminates Executive’s employment other than pursuant to Section 7 or 8 hereof or Executive terminates his employment due to a material diminution in his responsibilities that occurs prior to the Expiration Date, including, without limitation, due to Executive ceasing to be responsible for the operations of the subsidiaries and/or divisions of the Company that he was responsible for at the time of the Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan), (provided, however, that any diminution resulting solely from the Company becoming privately held shall not be considered in determining whether a material diminution in responsibilities has occurred) and any such termination occurs within one year following the occurrence of a Change in Control, as so defined, whether any such termination occurs prior to or after the Expiration Date, then the Company shall pay and provide to Executive the amounts and benefits set forth in Section 9(a), provided that in lieu of the amounts of severance compensation provided in Section 9(a)(iii) hereof, the Company shall pay to the Executive within 30 days after the effective date of the termination, subject to Sections 12, 21(c) and 21(d) hereof, a lump sum equal to 299% of Executive’s Annual Base Salary at the rate then in effect.

(c)  In connection with a termination of Executive’s employment triggering payments and benefits under this Section 9, Executive shall have no further obligations hereunder and shall be under no duty to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate his damages, and no compensation or other payment from a third party shall reduce or offset his damages.

(d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amounts payable to Executive under Section 9(b) shall be equal to whichever of the following amounts shall result in the greater after-tax payment to Executive, after application of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to such payments:

(i)         the amount otherwise payable under Section 9(b) without regard to this Section 9(d); and

(ii)          the amount payable in subsection (i) above, reduced by the total amounts payable under Section 9(b) to the extent included as parachute payments under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, but only to the extent such amounts included as parachute payments exceed 299% of the Executive’s “Base Amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) and (d)(1) and (2) of the Code.

 

 

Page 5 of 12

 

 



 

 

The calculation of after-tax payments under this Section 9(d) shall be made by independent public accountants selected by Executive and consented to by the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The fees and expenses of such accountants shall be borne by the Company.

10.

Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation; Inventions; Confidential Information.

(a)  Executive acknowledges that his services hereunder are of a special and unique nature and his position with the Company places him in a position of confidence and trust with clients and employees of the Company. Therefore, and in consideration of the Company’s performance of its covenants and agreements under this Agreement, Executive will not at any time during his employment with the Company and for a period of one year thereafter (the “Restrictive Period”), directly or indirectly, engage in any business (as an owner, joint venturer, partner, stockholder, director, officer, consultant, agent or otherwise, other than as the owner of less than 1% of the outstanding class of a publicly traded security) that directly competes with the Company in the telecommunications transmission, RF microwave amplifiers or mobile data communications services market areas.

(b)  Executive agrees that he will not (except on behalf of the Company during his employment with the Company), during the Restrictive Period, employ or retain, solicit the employment or retention of, or knowingly cause or encourage any entity to retain or solicit the employment or retention of, any person who is or was an employee of the Company at any time during the period commencing 12 months prior to the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company. After termination of Executive’s employment with the Company: (i) Executive will refrain from disparaging, whether orally, in writing or in other media, the Company, its Affiliates, the officers, directors and employees of each of them, and the products and services of each of them, and (ii) the Company will not disparage Executive or otherwise comment upon the employment performance of Executive other than as may be required by law or as requested by Executive.

(c)  Any discovery, design, invention or improvement (whether or not patentable) that Executive develops during his employment with the Company (whether or not during his regular working hours or on the Company’s premises) and that is related to the Company’s business or operations as then conducted or contemplated, shall belong solely to the Company and shall be promptly disclosed to the Company. During the period of his employment with the Company and thereafter, Executive shall, without additional compensation, execute and deliver to the Company any instruments of transfer and take any other action that the Company may reasonably request to carry out the provisions of this Section, including executing and filing, at the Company’s expense, patent and/or copyright applications and assignments of such applications to the Company.

(d)  Executive will not at any time, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any third party or use (except as authorized in the regular course of the Company’s business or in the Executive’s performance of his responsibilities as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer) any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information that was either acquired by him during his employment with the Company or thereafter, including, without limitation, sales and marketing information,

 

Page 6 of 12

 

 



 

information relating to existing or prospective customers and markets, business opportunities, and financial, technical and other data (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). After termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason and upon the written request of the Company, Executive shall promptly return to the Company all originals and/or copies of written or recorded material (regardless of the medium) containing or reflecting any Confidential Information and shall promptly confirm in writing to the Company that such action has been taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute Confidential Information: (i) information that is already in the public domain at the time of its disclosure to Executive; (ii) information that, after its disclosure to Executive, becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise other than through Executive’s act; and (iii) information that Executive received from a third party having the right to make such disclosure without restriction on disclosure or use thereof.

11.  Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges that, in view of the nature of the Company’s business, the restrictions contained in this Agreement are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company and its Affiliates and that any violation of such restrictions will result in irreparable injury to the Company for which money damages will not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, Executive agrees that, in addition to such money damages, he may be restrained and enjoined from any continuing breach of such covenants without any bond or other security being required by any court. In the event of a material violation by Executive of any provision of Section 10 hereof, any severance compensation previously paid to Executive hereunder or otherwise (other than $1,000) shall be immediately repaid to the Company. If any restriction contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the extent, duration or geographical scope, or otherwise, then the court making such determination shall have the right to reduce such extent, duration, geographical scope or other provisions hereof, and in its reduced form such restriction shall then be enforceable in the manner contemplated thereby.

12.  General Release of the Company. In consideration of the payments and other undertakings set forth herein, Executive acknowledges that upon the termination of his employment with the Company, the execution of a release, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, is an express condition to his right to receive severance compensation pursuant to Section 9 hereof in the event such Section is applicable.

13.  Notice. Any notice or other communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, or sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, by Federal Express, Express Mail or similar overnight delivery or courier service, or by telecopy. Notice to Executive shall be delivered to his home address appearing in the records of the Company, and notice to the Company shall be sent as follows:

c/o Comtech Telecommunications Corp.

68 South Service Road

Melville, Long Island, NY 11747

Attention: Fred Kornberg

Any notice given by certified mail shall be deemed given five days after the time of certification thereof. Any notice given by other means permitted hereby will be deemed given at the time of

 

Page 7 of 12

 

 



 

receipt thereof. Either party may by notice given in accordance herewith to the other party, designate another address or person for receipt of notices hereunder.

14.  Successors, Binding Agreement. Neither party may assign this Agreement; provided, however, this Agreement and the rights of the Company hereunder may be assigned, without the consent of Executive, to any purchaser or other transferee of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company. The Company shall require any such transferee to expressly assume and agree, in a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory to Executive and his counsel, to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors permitted assigns, heirs and representatives.

15.  Separability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof which shall remain in full force and effect.

16.  Waiver. The rights of each party hereunder may be waived only by a writing signed by the waiving party giving such waiver expressly setting forth the rights so waived and the matters as to which they are so waived, and any such waiver shall be limited to the matters expressly set forth in such writing. No failure or delay of any party hereto in enforcing any of its rights hereunder at any time shall constitute or evidence any waiver of such rights.

17.  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one document.

18.  Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to be of any substance.

19.  Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters (including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement). This Agreement may not be amended, modified, or supplemented in any respect except by a subsequent written agreement entered into by both parties.

20.  Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

21.

Tax Matters.

(a)  The Company may withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement such federal, state and local taxes as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

(b)  The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder (collectively “Code Section 409A”) and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith. If Executive

 

Page 8 of 12

 

 



 

notifies the Company (with specificity as to the reason therefor) that Executive believes that any provision of this Agreement (or of any award of compensation) would cause Executive to incur any additional tax or interest under Code Section 409A, the Company shall, after consulting with Executive, reform such provision to try to comply with Code Section 409A through good faith modifications to the minimum extent reasonably appropriate to conform with Code Section 409A. To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to Executive and the Company of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.

(c)  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, payments to be made hereunder upon a termination of employment shall only be made upon a “separation from service,” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h) and, if Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is specified as subject to this Section, such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of Executive, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”). Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 21(c) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Separation Pay Limit” shall mean, two (2) times the lesser of (i) the Executive’s annualized compensation based on his annual rate of pay for the taxable year of the Executive preceding the taxable year in which the Executive has a “separation from service,” and (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a tax qualified plan pursuant to Code Section 401(a)(17) for the year in which the Executive incurs a “separation from service.”

(d)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that (i) any amount becomes payable pursuant to Section 9(b) upon a Change in Control of the Company that is a complete liquidation of the Company (as described in Section 14.2(d) of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan) or is otherwise not a change in control event (within the meaning of Code Section 409A), and (ii) such amount (or a portion thereof) is also an amount that would have been payable pursuant to Section 9(a) under the circumstances specified in said Section 9(a), then such amount shall be paid at the same time or times and in the same manner as provided under Section 9(a) even though such amount is being paid pursuant to Section 9(b), and any additional amount payable under Section 9(b) shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of Section 9(b).

(e)  Following the occurrence of a Change in Control, in the event that Executive becomes liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty under Code Section 409A or any damages resulting from the failure of the payments and benefits provided under this Agreement or any other arrangement between Executive and the Company to comply with Code Section 409A, Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional gross-up payment from the Company to fully indemnify him on an after-tax basis for the effect of such additional tax, interest, penalty

or damages. Such additional gross-up payment shall be made within ninety days following the date on which Executive remits such additional tax, interest, penalty or damages.

(f)   Any expense reimbursement under Section 6(b) or 6(d) hereof shall be made on or before the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expense was incurred by Executive, and no such reimbursement or the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.

I agree that I am voluntarily executing this General Release. I acknowledge that I am knowingly and voluntarily waiving and releasing any rights I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 and that the consideration given for the waiver and release is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled. I further acknowledge that I have been advised by this writing, as required by the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, that: (a) my waiver and release specified herein does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise after the date I sign this General Release or my rights with respect to severance compensation, if any, payable to me pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between me and the Company, dated September 17, 2007; (b) I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to signing this General Release; (c) I have twenty-one (21) days to consider this General Release (although I may choose to sign it earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days after I sign this General Release to revoke it; and (e) this General Release will not be effective until the date on which the revocation period has expired, which will be the eighth day after I sign this General Release, assuming I have returned it to the Company by such date.

Exhibit 10(c)


CHANGE-IN-CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

 Dated September 18, 2007

 

PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL

 

«First_Name» «Last_Name»

«Job_Title»

«Company»

 

Dear «First_Name»:

 

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the “Company”) considers it essential to the best interests of its stockholders to foster the continued employment of key management personnel. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) recognizes that the possibility of a change in ownership or control of the Company may result in the departure or distraction of key personnel to the detriment of the Company and our stockholders. Therefore, the Board has determined to enter into this agreement with you (i) to encourage and reinforce your attention and dedication to your assigned duties without distraction in the face of the disruptive circumstances that can arise from a possible change in control of the Company, (ii) to enhance our ability to retain you in those circumstances, and (iii) to provide you with fair and reasonable protection from the risks of a change in ownership and control so that you will be in a position to help the Company complete a transaction that would be beneficial to stockholders. Accordingly, you and the Company agree as follows:

 

1.

Term of Agreement and Protected Period.

 

(a)            Term of Agreement. The period during which this Agreement shall be in effect (the “Term”) shall be the period August 1, 2007 through the close of business on July 31, 2009; provided, however, that the Term shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless either party hereto gives written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the then current Term; and provided further, that if a Change in Control has occurred prior to expiration of the then current Term, the Term shall continue until the later of (i) the expiration of such then current Term, and (ii) the date that is twelve (12) months after such occurrence of a Change in Control.

 

(b)            Protected Period. The “Protected Period” is the period from the time of occurrence of a Change in Control until the date that is twelve (12) months after such occurrence of a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the introductory text to Section 3 provides that certain events occurring before a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred during the Protected Period.

 

2.

Change in Control.

 

“Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence during the Term of a Change in Control as defined in Section 14.2 of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as such Plan may be amended from time to time.

 

 



 

 

3.

Termination and Resulting Compensation.

 

The Agreement provides no compensation or benefits in connection with Terminations which occur at times other than during the Protected Period, except that, if you are Terminated within 30 days prior to a Change in Control by the Company without Cause at the direction of a Person who has entered into an agreement with the Company the consummation of which will constitute a Change in Control, or if you Terminate with Good Reason prior to a Change in Control (treating the entry by such a Person into such an agreement as a Change in Control in applying the definition of Good Reason) if the circumstance or event which constitutes Good Reason occurs at the direction of such Person, then your Termination shall be deemed to have been during the Protected Period and following a Change in Control and shall qualify for the compensation specified in Section 3(b).

 

(a)            Termination by the Company for Cause, by You Without Good Reason, or by Reason of Death, and Failure to Perform Duties Due to Disability. If during the Protected Period you are Terminated by the Company for Cause, you voluntarily Terminate without Good Reason, Termination occurs due to your death, or Termination results from your failure to perform your duties with the Company due to a disability, the Company will have no obligation to pay any compensation or benefits to you under this Agreement.

 

(b)           Terminations Triggering Severance Compensation. In lieu of any other severance compensation to which you may otherwise be entitled under any plan, program, policy or arrangement of the Company or any subsidiary, entitlement to which you hereby expressly waive, the Company will pay you the payments described in this Section 3(b) (the “Severance Payments”) upon Termination during the Protected Period and during the Term, unless such termination is (A) by the Company for Cause, (B) by reason of death, (C) due to your failure to perform your duties with the Company due to disability (for which you qualify for disability benefits), or (D) by you without Good Reason. The compensation provided under this Section 3(b) are as follows:

 

(i) The Company will pay you a lump sum severance payment, in cash, equal to one-twelfth of your annual base salary times the number of months (including fractional months) remaining until the date 18 months after the Change in Control, but not less than 12 (so, for example, such a Termination at the date of a Change in Control would result in payment of 18 months’ salary, and such a Termination between six and 12 months after the Change in Control would result in payment of 12 months’ salary). For this purpose, your annual salary will be the greater of your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the event or circumstance upon which the Notice of Termination is based or your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control. 

 

(ii) Your stock options and other equity awards shall be governed by the terms of the applicable plans and award agreements.

 

Nothing in this Section 3 is intended to affect in any way any bonus or other cash incentive compensation with respect to which you are entitled to payment as of the date of such Termination.

 

(c)            Excise Tax and Related Provisions . Other provisions of this agreement notwithstanding, the amounts payable to you under Section 3(b)(i) shall be equal to whichever of

 

2

 



 

the following amounts shall result in the greater after-tax payment to you, after application of all federal, state and local taxes applicable to such payments:

 

(i)

The amount otherwise payable under Section 3(b)(i) without regard to this Section 3(c); and

(ii)

The amount payable in (i) above reduced by the total amounts payable under Section 3(b)(i) to the extent included as parachute payments under Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code, but only to the extent such amounts included as parachute payments exceed one dollar less than 300% of your “Base Amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3)(A) and (d)(1) and (2) of the Code.

The calculation of after-tax payments under this Section 3(c) shall be made by independent public accountants selected by the Company subject to your consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The fees and expenses of such accountants shall be borne by the Company.

(d)            Time of Payment. The Company’s obligation to make the payments provided for in Section 3(b)(i) shall be subject to your execution of a release, in the form attached as Exhibit A, which you have not revoked by the end of any applicable revocation period. At the end of such revocation period (not later than 45 days after your Termination), the Company shall pay the amount specified in Section 3(b)(i) in a lump sum. For purposes of compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, it is intended that the payment under Section 3(b)(i) be deemed first to be a short-term deferral under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4) and then to be separation pay excluded from being a deferral of compensation to the extent provided under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii). If, however, (i) for any reason all or any portion of such payment is deemed to be a non-excluded deferral of compensation under Treasury Regulation §1.409A-1(b), and (ii) any of the Company’s stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise, and (iii) you are a “key employee” (as defined in Code Section 416(i) without regard to paragraph (5) thereof), then the affected portion of such payment shall be made on the first business day that is on or after the date that is six months after the date of your separation from service. Likewise, if any other payment or benefit under this Agreement would be subject to a tax penalty under Code Section 409A, such payment or benefit will be payable to you only at the date specified in the preceding sentence if such delay would avoid such tax penalty to you.

 

(e)            Notice. During the Protected Period, any purported termination of your employment by the Company or by you shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto.

 

(f)            Certain Definitions. Except as otherwise indicated in this Agreement, all definitions in this Section 3(f) shall be applicable during the Protected Period only.

 

(i)

Cause. “Cause” for Termination by the Company of your employment, during the Protected Period, shall mean (A) willful misconduct, dishonesty, misappropriation, breach of fiduciary duty or fraud by you with regard to the Company or any of its assets or businesses; (B) your conviction or your pleading of nolo contendere with regard to any felony or crime (for the purpose hereof, traffic violations and misdemeanors shall not be deemed to be a crime); or (C) any material breach by you of the provisions of this Agreement which is not

 

3

 



 

cured within 30 days after written notice to you of such breach from the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

(ii)

Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean the date specified in the Notice of Termination which, in the case of a Termination by the Company (other than a Termination for Cause), shall not be less than 30 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given and, in the case of a Termination by you, shall not be less than 30 nor more than 60 days from the date such Notice of Termination is given.

 

(iii)

Good Reason. “Good Reason” for Termination of your employment will mean the occurrence, without your written consent, of any one of the following, provided that you have given Notice of Termination to the Company within 90 days after the initial existence of the condition giving rise to your asserted Good Reason, and the Company has failed to fully correct the Good Reason by the date of your Termination specified in the Notice of Termination (such correction by the Company having the effect of canceling such Notice and the resulting Termination), and your separation from service occurs within one year after the initial existence of circumstances constituting Good Reason:

 

(A) the assignment to you of any duties inconsistent in any substantial respect with your position, authority or responsibilities immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control or any other substantial adverse change in such position, including authority or responsibilities;

 

(B) a reduction by the Company in your annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control and as such base salary thereafter may have been increased; or

 

(C) the relocation of the principal place of your employment to a location more than fifty (50) miles from the location of such place of employment on the date of this Agreement; except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent substantially consistent with your business travel obligations prior to the Change in Control.

 

(iv)

Notice of Termination. “Notice of Termination” shall mean notice indicating the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of your employment under the provision so indicated.

 

(v)

Termination. “Termination” means an event by which your employment relationship with the Company and all subsidiaries has ended, provided that a Termination will occur no earlier than the time at which you have had a “separation from service” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-1(h).

 

4. Mitigation.

 

You will not be required to mitigate the amount of payments provided for under this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of payments provided for under this Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by you as the result of

 

4

 



 

employment by another employer, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owed by you to the Company, or otherwise.

 

5.             Covenants for Protection of Company’s Business. In consideration for the payments and benefits provided by the Company under this Agreement, by your execution of this agreement you agree as follows:

 

(i)

You agree that you will not (except on behalf of the Company) during your employment with the Company and during the period of 12 months thereafter (the "Restrictive Period") employ or retain, solicit the employment or retention of, or knowingly cause or encourage any entity to retain or solicit the employment or retention of, any person who is an employee of the Company or was an employee of the Company at any time during the period commencing 12 months prior to the termination of your employment with the Company. After your Termination of Employment: (A) You will refrain from disparaging, whether orally, in writing or in other media, the Company, its affiliates, the officers, directors and employees of each of them, and the products and services of each of them, and (B) the Company will not disparage you or otherwise comment upon your employment performance other than as may be required by law or as requested by you.

(ii)

You will not at any time, directly or indirectly, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose to any third party or use (except as authorized in the regular course of the Company’s business or in your performance of your responsibilities for the Company) any confidential, proprietary or trade secret information that was either acquired by you during your employment with the Company or thereafter, including, without limitation, sales and marketing information, information relating to existing or prospective customers and markets, business opportunities, and financial, technical and other data (collectively, the "Confidential Information"). After termination of your employment with the Company for any reason and upon the written request of the Company, you shall promptly return to the Company all originals and/or copies of written or recorded material (regardless of the medium) containing or reflecting any Confidential Information and shall promptly confirm in writing to the Company that such action has been taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall not constitute Confidential Information: (A) Information that is already in the public domain at the time of its disclosure to you; (B) Information that, after its disclosure to you, becomes part of the public domain by publication or otherwise other than through your act; and (C) Information that you received from a third party having the right to make such disclosure without restriction on disclosure or use thereof.

 6. Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Successors. The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in this Agreement, “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which assumes and agrees to perform this Agreement by operation of law, or otherwise.

 

5

In the event of your death, all amounts otherwise payable to you hereunder shall, unless otherwise provided herein, be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to your devisee, legatee or other designee or, if there is no such designee, to your estate.

 

(c)           Notice. Notices and all other communications provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when (i) personally delivered or (ii) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the respective addresses set forth on the first page of this Agreement; provided that all notice to the Company shall be directed to the attention of the Board with a copy to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or to such other address as either party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

No waiver by either party hereto at any time of any breach by the other party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the time or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

(e)          Governing Law. THE VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES.

(i)            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

 

(j)            Entire Agreement.

No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by either

 

6

 



 

party which are not expressly set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the procedural provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all benefits payable as a result of a Change in Control (or other change in control) under any employee benefit plan, agreement, program, policy or arrangement of the Company.

In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law.

(3) The clause at 52.212-5.

(4) Addenda to this solicitation or contract, including any license agreements for computer software.

(5) Solicitation provisions if this is a solicitation.

(6) Other paragraphs of this clause.

(7) The Standard Form 1449.

(8) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments.

(9) The specification.

(10) Contractor proposal.

(t) Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the CCR database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the Internet at http://www.cer.gov or by calling 1 - -888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

(u) Only New Equipment and Reconditioned Parts. Only new equipment shall be delivered under this contract. The Contracting Officer will not grant approval for used or reconditioned equipment. Components of such



W91QUZ-07-D-0018

Page 10 of 31

equipment may be reconditioned provided such components are drawn from stockage which does not differentiate between new and reconditioned components.

(v) Alternative Sourcing.

          (1) An alternative source is another means of supply for a functionally equivalent item for an existing proposed item. Alternative sourcing is a post-award contract activity. Alternative sources will not be considered during the pre-award phase of the contract. It is a means of enabling contractors to overcome market conditions beyond their control.

(2) When an alternate source is proposed, the contractor shall complete the certification found at the end of this provision that the proposed alternate item is equal or better in functionality and performance than the existing proposed item. Acceptability of proposed alternative sources is at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer and no delivery of items from an alternative source will be allowed without formal modification to the contract.

(3) Normally, the pricing for alternative-sourced items will be the same as the original proposed item for which an alternative source is proposed. However, a downward price adjustment may be required at the time of alternative sourcing if the pricing for the item is no longer comparative to concurrent “street pricing”. However, all sources for any one given CLIN/sub-CLIN will be priced the same in the resulting contract modification.

(4) Delivery orders may state a preferred source for an item. However, it will be at the discretion of the contractor which item will be shipped. Also, the contractor shall not mix sources for a given CLIN/sub-CLIN on the individual delivery orders.

(5) Prior to accepting an alternative-source proposal, the Government may require the Contractor to conduct a Government-witnessed demonstration to validate that the proposed product(s) are capable of performing in a manner equal to or better than the existing product.

ALTERNATIVE SOURCE CERTIFICATION

Except as expressly identified in writing as part of the alternative-source proposal, I,___________________, represent that the additional item offered as an alternative source for an existing item provided under the contract (each identified below) is equal to or better in functionality and performance than the existing item, and that it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in Part III.a of the contract

All MTS components recommended as replacement items for currently-approved components shall be capable of surviving storage temperatures ranging from -49 (-60 optimally) to 160 degrees Fahrenheit. All MTS components that are exposed to the elements (e.g., antennas, cables/connectors, etc.) must be able to operate in temperatures ranging from -25 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. MTS components that are operated from a heated/cooled environment (cab of vehicle, operation center, etc.) must be capable of operating within the temperature range of -25 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit and the associated humidity ranges.

          q. The Control Station shall have the capability to poll mobile units for data at anytime.

          r. MTS is an unclassified system. The MTS shall employ a commercial INFOSEC capability to ensure against enemy exploitation of vehicle location and logistics information through unauthorized access to message content. The MTS shall employ INFOSEC measures that require the MTS operator to identify himself to the MTS network. This identification procedure shall be periodically updated. The system shall notify the primary controlling station of failed operator identification attempts. The Control Station shall have the capability to prevent the operator in question from transmitting and receiving any messages.

          s. The use of built-in- test/built-in-test-equipment, if feasible, will reduce the maintenance burden.

          t. System must fit into existing and future operational architectures without creating new military occupational specialties (MOS) or creating a burden on current MOS.

          u. The Contractor shall certify with the submission of the proposal, that V1 (upon development) and V2 Mobile Units are safe to use as close as eleven (11) feet from unshielded munitions that contain 10 mA no-fire current, electro-explosive devices (EEDs) and one (1) foot from shielded munitions. This certification shall be required for each type of RF component provided on the Contract, throughout the life of the Contract. A determination of the required safe separation distance can be made by referring to the graph entitled “Safe Separation Distance

Between an RF Source and Unshielded Munitions Containing 10 mA No-fire Current Electro-Explosive Devices (EEDs)” in Exhibit-A. This graph relates safe separation distances to irradiated output power as a function of operating frequency. Although many ordnance items have no EEDs, and other items have EEDs that are less sensitive to RF energy, this requirement represents a worst-case scenario that ensures safe operation around what frequently is unknown ordnance (unknown to transporters and others). Transmitters, RF Relays and any other emitter shall be furnished with a warning label that clearly indicates the safe separation distance that must be maintained between ordnance and the irradiating source.

          v. The MTS shall provide positive acknowledgement to the message sender/user.

III.2.12

Transit Cases

          a. Ruggedized, reusable, rigid transit cases shall be provided for the V1, V2, and the Control Station for use in storing and transporting the configurations by surface or air. Each MTS configuration, V1, V2 and the Control Station shall have a separate transit case. The transit cases shall be of sufficient size to accommodate all components/items each of the configurations, an extra battery, and related documentation.

          b. Environmental and Weight Requirements. Transit cases shall protect the components from damage resulting from dropping during cargo loading and unloading; when transported as loose cargo over unpaved secondary roads; and from water vapor, humidity, salt, and fog. The transit cases shall be capable of withstanding temperatures ranging from –54 to 74 degrees C or –65 to 165 degrees F and relative humidity ranging from 0 to 100% over the temperature extremes. The weight of equipment placed in the transit case shall be uniformly distributed within the case in relation to the handles. The weight limit per pair of handles of a case loaded with its equipment shall not exceed 37 lbs. The weight for a loaded case with a single handle shall not exceed 18 lbs.

          c. Contents. Transit cases shall contain inserts to protect the contents from damage during transit and storage. Inserts shall be split so as to be an integral part of the top and bottom pieces of the transit case. Cushioning material used for the inserts shall be permanent, reusable, and have a non-flaking surface.

          d. Inventory List. Each transit case shall have a durable and permanent inventory list of all items in the case. Graphic packing instructions shall be affixed to the inside top cover and visible to the user.

          e. Handles Location. The transit case handles shall be installed sufficiently above the center of gravity of the equipment to ensure carrying stability and preclude uncontrolled swinging or tilting of the case when lifted. Additionally, the handles shall be positioned to allow the lifters to easily carry the transit cases through doorways. When not in use, handles shall return to a closed position by a spring-loaded mechanism or simple restraining mechanism. Clasps shall be easily accessible and operable by personnel utilizing Mission Oriented Protective Posture gear or wearing low-temperature, protective gloves.

          f. Labeling. Labels shall be placed horizontally (to the front of the case) and externally on the top of each transit case in a consistent manner to identify:

                    (1) gross or loaded weight,

                    (2) volume in cubic feet and cubic centimeters, and

                    (3) external linear dimensions in inches and centimeters.

All transit cases with a total loaded case weight between 35 and 70 pounds shall be clearly marked as “TWO-PERSON LIFT” and all cases with a total loaded weight exceeding 70 pounds shall be clearly marked as “FOUR-PERSON LIFT”.

          g. Attributes. The transit cases shall contain an automatic, pressure-vacuum relief valve that shall accommodate transportation by air. The cases shall allow stacking of up to four like cases, that are loaded, on one another with no skidding.

          h. Color. Transit cases shall be olive drab green in color.

 

 

III.2.13

Pre-Planned Product Improvements (P3I) Expandability

          a. As a future growth capability, MTS will be capable of interfacing with several types of systems,

(7) The Contractor shall not be reimbursed for, and shall not include as an item of overhead, the cost of insurance or of any reserve covering risk of loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, except to the extent that the Government may have expressly required the Contractor to carry such insurance under another provision of this contract.

 

 

 

 

 

(8) In the event the Contractor is reimbursed or otherwise compensated for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, the Contractor shall use the proceeds to repair, renovate, or replace the lost, destroyed, or damaged Government property or shall otherwise credit the proceeds to, or equitably reimburse, the Government, as directed by the Contracting Officer.

 

 

 

 

 

(9) The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government’s rights to recover against third parties for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property.

In addition, where a subcontractor has not been relieved from liability for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, the Contractor shall enforce for the benefit of the Government the liability of the subcontractor for such loss, destruction, or damage.

The Contractor shall prepare for shipment, deliver f.o.b. origin, or dispose of the Government property as may be directed or authorized by the Contracting Officer. The net proceeds of any such disposal shall be credited to the cost of the work covered by this contract or paid to the Government as directed by the Contracting Officer. The foregoing provisions shall apply to scrap from Government property; provided, however, that the Contracting Officer may authorize or direct the Contractor to omit from such inventory schedules any scrap consisting of faulty castings or forgings or of cutting and processing waste, such as chips, cuttings, borings, turnings, short ends, circles, trimmings, clippings, and remnants, and to dispose of such scrap in accordance with the Contractor’s normal practice and account for it as a part of general overhead or other reimbursable costs in accordance with the Contractor’s established accounting procedures.

(ii) The Contractor shall obtain the Plant Clearance Officer’s approval to remove Government property from the premises at which the property is currently located prior to receipt of final disposition instructions. If approval is granted, any costs incurred by the Contractor to transport or store the property shall not increase the price or fee of any Government contract. The storage facility must be appropriate for assuring the property’s physical safety and suitability for use. Approval does not relieve the Contractor of any liability under this contract for such property.

(8) Disposition instructions. (i) If the Government does not provide disposition instructions to the Contractor within 45 days following acceptance of a scrap list, the Contractor may dispose of the listed scrap in accordance with the Contractor’s approved scrap procedures.

(ii) The Contractor shall prepare for shipment, deliver f.o.b. origin, or dispose of Government property as directed by the Plant Clearance Officer. The Contractor shall remove and destroy any markings identifying the property as Government property prior to disposing of the property.

(iii) The Contracting Officer may require the Contractor to demilitarize the property prior to shipment or disposal. Any equitable adjustment incident to the Contracting Officer’s direction to demilitarize Government property shall be made in accordance with paragraph (h) of this clause.

(9) Disposal proceeds. The Contractor shall credit the net proceeds from the disposal of Government property to the cost of work covered by this contract, or to the Government as directed by the Contracting Officer.

(10) Subcontractor inventory disposal schedules. The Contractor shall require a subcontractor that is using property accountable under this contract at a subcontractor-managed site to submit inventory disposal schedules to the Contractor in sufficient time for the Contractor to comply with the requirements of paragraph (i)(4) of this clause.

(j) Abandonment of Government property. (1) The Government will not abandon sensitive Government property without the Contractor’s written consent;

(2) The Government, upon notice to the Contractor, may abandon any nonsensitive Government property in place at which time all obligations of the Government regarding such abandoned property shall cease.

(3) The Government has no obligation to restore or rehabilitate the Contractor’s premises under any circumstances; however, if Government-furnished property is withdrawn or is unsuitable for the intended use, or if other Government property is substituted, then the equitable adjustment under paragraph (h) of this clause may properly include restoration or rehabilitation costs.

(k) Communications. All communications under this clause shall be in writing.

(l) Overseas contracts. If this contract is to be performed outside the United States and its outlying areas, the words “Government” and “Government-furnished” (wherever they appear in this clause) shall be construed as “United States Government” and “United States Government-furnished,” respectively.

CONTRACTOR SUPPORT SERVICES AND KNOWLEDGE CENTER REQUIREMENTS

 

SEP/2002

It is understood by the parties to this contract that the Knowledge Center (KC) is a secure Internet-based Knowledge Management Tool that the Program Executive Office for Command, Control & Communications Tactical (PEO C3T), the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare, and Sensors (PEO IEWS), the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems (PEO EIS) and the Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command (C-E LCMC) are using to collaborate internally and externally with customers, business partners and other Government agencies. Any person who is given access to the KC will have access to information that is considered by the Government to be sensitive and non-public in nature. Accordingly, every person given access to this secure application must consent to be bound by a specific Non-Disclosure Agreement articulated on the KC Registration Form before such access is granted. Consistent with this procedure, the contractor shall require each of its employees who are given access to the KC to immediately notify the Director of Contracts, or the individual in a position of equivalent responsibility, of the fact that they have consented to a Non-Disclosure Agreement and have been given access to the KC. The contractor shall also require any employee giving such notice to provide the Director of Contracts, or the individual in a position of equivalent responsibility, with a copy of the Non-Disclosure Agreement they have consented to. It is the contractor’s responsibility under this contract to supervise, administer and

CONTRACTOR DEPLOYMENT TO SOUTH WEST ASIA

 

DEC/2003

a. Employees going on field visits, TDYs, and deployments to Southwest Asia (Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Djibouti, Jordan, Qatar, etc.) must coordinate with the AMC Logistics Support Element (LSE) in Southwest Asia (SWA). The AMC LSE SWA is the entry point for all AMC visitors to that part of the world. These ensure that AMC military, civilians and contractors are routed through the appropriate subordinate LSE or LAO. In briefs and out briefs are mandatory. The AMC LSEs and LAOs need to know who comes into the theater for accountability purposes and administrative oversight and force protection. The Area Commander is required to know the location of all AMC contractors in their Area of Operation at all times.

                    b. Notifying the AMC LSE SWA of the contractor’s impending visit is not a problem, if a call forward has been requested, because the LSE SWA receives a copy of every call forward from the AMC Emergency Operations Center. Some employees may not receive a call forward, usually because they are going for less than 30 days. In those cases, the contractor needs to notify the C-E LCMC DCSPER Desk in the EOC at DSN 992-1762 or commercial 732-532-1762 of the visit and they will coordinate with LSE SWA.

c. All contractors are responsible for coordinating with the AMC LSE SWA when they enter the area and/or when they leave. The call forward specifically instructs the employee to contact the AMC-LSE SWA Personnel Section (G1) at DSN 318-825-4220 or commercial 732-427-5062 x 6623 for military and civilians and 732-427-5062 x 6611 for contractors, to let them know where they are in the AOR and that requirement needs to be followed.

d. In addition, every travel order for SWA shall have the following statement in the remarks section:

 

 

 

          1. “All AMC military (AC/RC), Department of the Army Civilians, and contractors will contact the appropriate AMC office and coordinate with the AMC office the purpose of their visits.”

 

 

 

 

 

2. If are any questions, contractor employees may contact the DCSPER Desk in the EOC at DSN 992-1762 or commercial 732-532-1762.

The Governments license right in the commercial technical data and computer software to be made available (as distinguished from delivered) under this contract shall be governed exclusively by this provision. The Government specifically acknowledges that this license is intended solely to allow the Government (and certain pre-approved third-parties) access to the Contractors technical data and computer software in order for the Government to: (1) propose improvements and optimizations to CMDC of the CMDC-designed components of the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below Blue Force Tracking system (System); and (2) effect improvements and optimizations to all other components of the System by vendors of the Governments selection, and for no other reason. Notwithstanding any other clause or provision in this Contract, express or implied by law, the Government specifically shall not disclose, either directly or indirectly, the Contractors technical data and computer software, as well as the trade secrets and the know-how associated with this data and software, to any employee, contractor, or agent of such employee or contractor for any purpose whatsoever, without adherence to the provisions of this Section H-10.

          During the term of this Contract, the Contractor agrees to make available to the Government in accordance with this provision all of the Contractors technical data and computer software relevant to the System, which are in existence and within the Contractors possession and control at the time of award, and any Contractor updates and enhancements created during Contractors normal course of business and during the term of this Contract. Such delivery shall be at no cost to the Government.

          The Government understands that the technical data is incomplete. To the extent the Government has additional questions or requests the production of additional technical data or computer software beyond that created by the Contractor during its normal course of business, all such questions or requests shall be submitted to the Contractor in writing and shall be responded to by the Contractor in writing. Any further delivery or production of technical data or computer software (beyond the delivery as contemplated above) shall be paid for by the Government.

          All technical data and computer software to be made available by the Contractor under this provision initially shall be transferred and kept only on the Governments server located at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, but shall be controlled remotely by the Contractor at its facility in Germantown, Maryland. Such control by Contractor will include, but not be limited to, the exclusive right to grant or deny access to the Contractors technical data and computer software. When the Contractor becomes capable of administrating access to the technical data and computer software through a server residing at Contractors facility, the technical data and computer software shall be transferred to the Contractors server, where Contractor shall continue to maintain exclusive control. At the point of such transfer, the Government shall ensure and inform the Contractor that all of the Contractors source code is completely deleted from the Governments server. All technical data and computer software accessed by the Government shall be kept and maintained in the same manner as the Government keeps and maintains information deemed to be sensitive but unclassified, but in no event less than what would be deemed customary and reasonable for the handling of such technical data and computer software.

          Access to the Contractors technical data and computer software made available by the Contractor under this provision shall be restricted to government personnel (and other third-parties as further set forth below) who have a need for such access for purposes of (1) proposing improvements and optimizations of the CMDC-designed components of the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below Blue Force Tracking system (System); and (2) effecting improvements and optimizations to all other components of the System by vendors of the Governments selection, and for no other reason.

          The technical data and computer software to be made available by the Contractor to the Government under this provision may not be made available to third-parties unless the following conditions are met:

 

     1. the identity of such intended recipients is first disclosed to the Contractor

 

     2. such intended recipients access is approved by the Contractor in writing, signed by an authorized corporate representative

 

     3. the intended recipient and his or her authorized corporate representative complete and sign the Use and Non-Disclosure agreement (NDA) set forth in DFAR 227.7103-7 (as modified by this provision) prior to release or disclosure of the data.

   In addition to the terms and conditions of the NDA, such intended recipient shall be permitted to remove or transport by electronic means or otherwise the technical data and computer software to which he or she shall be given access, provided, however, such permission shall not include the further transfer or dissemination of such technical data and computer software to anyone other than Government personnel (as set forth above) and third-parties who are subject to the terms and conditions of an executed NDA. Violation of this restriction or the other material terms of this provision H.1 shall constitute grounds for the Contractor to terminate this license in whole or in part without any Contractor liability.

          The following NDA, as modified by the parties, shall be executed by each and every intended recipient of the Contractors technical data and computer software, prior to access of the data:

Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement

The undersigned, __________ (Insert Name)__________, an authorized representative of the __________ (Insert Company Name)__________, (which is referred to as the Recipient), requests the Government to provide the Recipient with technical data or computer software (referred to as Data) in which the Government’s use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display or disclosure rights are restricted.

                    (d) Reserved.

          (2) The Recipient agrees to adopt or establish operating procedures and physical security measures designed to protect these Data from inadvertent release or disclosure to unauthorized third parties and to provide copies of such operating procedures to the Contractor upon the Contractors request.

          (3) The Recipient agrees to accept these Data as is without any Government representation as to suitability for intended use or warranty whatsoever. This disclaimer does not affect any obligation the Government may have regarding Data specified in a contract for the performance of that contract.

          (4) The Recipient may enter into any agreement directly with the Contractor with respect to the use, modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of these Data.

          (5) The Recipient agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Government, its agents, and employees from every claim or liability, including attorneys fees, court costs, and expenses arising out of, or in any way related to, the misuse or unauthorized modification, reproduction, release, performance, display, or disclosure of Data received from the Government with restrictive legends by the Recipient or any person to whom the Recipient has released or disclosed the Data.

          (6) The Recipient is executing this Agreement for the benefit of the Contractor. The Contractor is a third party beneficiary of this Agreement who, in addition to any other rights it may have, is intended to have the rights of direct action against the Recipient or any other person to whom the Recipient has released or disclosed the Data, to seek damages from any breach of this Agreement or to otherwise enforce this Agreement. In this regard, the Recipient agrees and consents to the personal jurisdiction of him or her and his or her Company in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for purposes of enforcing this Agreement and specifically waives any objections to venue in this Court.

CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (OCT 2003) ALTERNATE 1 (Oct 2003) with Alternate A from DFARS 252.204-7004 (Nov 2003)

 

OCT/2003

 

As prescribed in 4.1104, use the following clause:

Central Contractor Registration (Oct 2003)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same parent concern.

Registered in the CCR database means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields and has marked the record “Active”.

(b) (1) The Contractor shall be registered in the CCR database by December 31, 2003. The Contractor shall maintain registration during performance and through final payment of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of the SF 30, Amendment of solicitation/Modification of Contract, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the Contractor’s name and address exactly as stated in this contract. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the Contractor is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—

(i) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at http://www.dnb.com; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and Zip Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g) (1) (i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

          (c) If the first article is disapproved, the Contractor, upon Government request, shall repeat any or all first article tests. After each request for additional tests, the Contractor shall make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs to the first article or select another first article for testing. All costs related to these tests are to be borne by the Contractor, including any and all costs for additional tests following a disapproval. The Contractor shall then conduct the tests and deliver another report to the Government under the terms and conditions and within the time specified by the Government. The Government shall take action on this report within the time specified in paragraph (b) above. The Government reserves the right to require an equitable adjustment of the contract price for any extension of the delivery schedule, or for any additional costs to the Government related to these tests.

          (d) If the Contractor fails to deliver any first article report on time, or the Contracting Officer disapproves any first article, the Contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the Default clause of this contract.

          (e) Unless otherwise provided in the contract, and if the approved first article is not consumed or destroyed in testing, the Contractor may deliver the approved first article as part of the contract quantity if it meets all contract requirements for acceptance.

          (f) If the Government does not act within the time specified in paragraph (b) or (c) above, the Contracting Officer shall, upon timely written request from the Contractor, equitably adjust under the Changes clause of this contract the delivery or performance dates and/or the contract price, and any other contractual term affected by the delay.

          (g) Before first article approval, the Contracting Officer may, by written authorization, authorize the Contractor to acquire specific materials or components or to commence production to the extent essential to meet the delivery schedules.

PROGRESS PAYMENTS

APR/2003

The Government will make progress payments to the Contractor when requested as work progresses, but not more frequently than monthly in amounts of $2,500 or more approved by the Contracting Officer, under the following conditions:

 

 

(a)

Computation of amounts.

 

 

 

(1) Unless the Contractor requests a smaller amount, the Government will compute each progress payment as 80 percent of the Contractor’s total costs incurred under this contract whether or not actually paid, plus financing payments to subcontractors (see paragraph (j) of this clause), less the sum of all previous progress payments made by the Government under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider cost of money that would be allowable under FAR 31.205-10 as an incurred cost for progress payment purposes.

 

 

 

(2) The amount of financing and other payments for supplies and services purchased directly for the contract are limited to the amounts that have been paid by cash, check, or other forms of payment, or that are determined due and will be paid to subcontractors—


 

 

(i)

In accordance with the terms and conditions of a subcontract of invoice; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Ordinarily within 30 days of the submission of the Contractor’s payment request to the Government.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(3)

The Government will exclude accrued costs of Contractor contributions under employee pension plans until actually paid unless—

 

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

The Contractor’s practice is to make contributions to the retirement fund quarterly or more frequently; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

The contribution does not remain unpaid 30 days after the end of the applicable quarter or shorter payment period (any contribution remaining unpaid shall be excluded from the Contractor’s total costs for progress payments until paid).

 

 

 

 

 

(4)

The Contractor shall not include the following in total costs for progress payment purposes in paragraph (a)(1) of this clause:

 

 

 

 

 

(i)

Costs that are not reasonable, allocable to this contract, and consistent with sound and generally accepted accounting principles and practices.

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Costs incurred by subcontractors or suppliers.

 

 

 

 

 

(iii)

Costs ordinarily capitalized and subject to depreciation or amortization except for the properly depreciated or amortized portion of such costs.

 

 

 

 

 

(iv)

Payments made or amounts payable to the subcontractors or suppliers, except for—


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A)

completed work, including partial deliveries, to which the Contractor has acquired title; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B)

Work under cost-reimbursement or time-and-material subcontracts to which the Contractor has acquired title.


 

 

 

(5) The amount of unliquidated progress payments may exceed neither (i) the progress payments made against incomplete work (including allowable unliquidated progress payments to subcontractors) nor (ii) the value, for progress payment purposes, of the incomplete work. Incomplete work shall be considered to be the supplies and services required by this contract, for which delivery and invoicing by the Contractor and acceptance by the Government are incomplete.

 

 

 

(6) The total amount of progress payments shall not exceed 80 percent of the total contract price.

 

 

 

(7) If a progress payment or the unliquidated progress payments exceed the amounts permitted by subparagraphs (a)(4) or (a)(5) above, the Contractor shall repay the amount of such excess to the Government on demand.

 

 

 

(8) Notwithstanding any other terms of the contract, the Contractor agrees not to request progress payments in dollar amounts of less than $2,500. The Contracting Officer may make exceptions.

(b) Liquidation. Except as provided in the Termination for Convenience of the Government clause, all progress payments shall be liquidated by deducting from any payment under this contract, other than advance or progress payments, the unliquidated progress payments, or 80 percent of the amount invoiced, whichever is less. The Contractor shall repay to the Government any amounts required by a retroactive price reduction, after computing liquidation’s and payments on past invoices at the reduced prices and adjusting the unliquidated progress payments accordingly. The Government reserves the right to unilaterally change from the ordinary liquidation rate to an alternate rate when deemed appropriate for proper contract financing.

(c) Reduction or suspension. The Contracting Officer may reduce or suspend progress payments, increase the rate of liquidation, or take a combination of these actions, after finding on substantial evidence any of the following conditions:

 

 

 

 

 

(1)

The Contractor failed to comply with any material requirement of this contract (which includes paragraphs (f) and (g) below).

 

 

 

 

(2)

Performance of this contract is endangered by the Contractor’s —

 

 

 

(i)

Failure to make progress; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

(ii)

Unsatisfactory financial condition.

 

 

 

 

(3)

Inventory allocated to this contract substantially exceeds reasonable requirements.

 

 

 

 

(4)

The Contractor is delinquent in payment of the costs of performing this contract in the ordinary course of business.

 

 

 

 

(5)

The unliquidated progress payments exceed the fair value of the work accomplished on the undelivered portion of this contract.

 

 

 

 

(6)

The Contractor is realizing less profit than that reflected in the establishment of any alternate liquidation rate in paragraph

 

 

 

 

(b)

above, and that rate is less than the progress payment rate stated in subparagraph (a)(1) above.

(3) If the financing payments are in the form or progress payments, the terms of the subcontract or interdivisional order concerning progress payments —

 

 

 

 

 

(i) Are substantially similar to the terms of the clause for any subcontractor that is a large business concern, or that clause with its Alternate I for any subcontractor that is a small business concern;

(iii) Are not more favorable to the subcontractor or division than the terms of this clause are to the Contractor;

 

 

 

 

 

(iv) Are in conformance with the requirements of FAR 32.504(e); and

 

 

 

 

 

(v) Subordinate all subcontractor rights concerning property to which the Government has title under the subcontract to the Government’s right to require delivery of the property to the Government if —


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A) The Contractor defaults; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B) The subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(4) If the financing payments are in the form of performance-based payments, the terms of the subcontract or interdivisional order concerning payments—

 

 

 

 

 

(i) Are substantially similar to the Performance-Based Payments clause at FAR 52.232-32 and meet the criteria for, and definition of, performance-based payments in FAR Part 32;

 

 

 

 

 

(ii) Are in conformance with the requirements of FAR 32.504(f); and

 

 

 

 

 

(iii) Subordinate all subcontractor rights concerning property to which the Government has title under the subcontract to the Government’s right to require delivery of the property to the Government if—

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(A) The Contractor defaults; or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(B) The subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

(5) If the financing payments are in the form of commercial item financing payments, the terms of the subcontract or interdivisional order concerning payments-

 

 

 

 

 

(i) Are constructed in accordance with FAR 32.206(c) and included in a subcontract for a commercial item purchase that meets the definition and standards for acquisition of commercial items in FAR Part 2 and 12;

 

 

 

 

 

(ii) Are in conformance with the requirements of FAR 32.504(g); and

 

 

 

 

 

(iii) Subordinate all subcontractor rights concerning property to which the Government has title under the subcontract to the Government’s right to require delivery of the property to the Government if—

 

 

 

 

 

(A) The Contractor defaults; or

 

 

 

 

 

(B) The subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent.

 

 

 

 

(6) If financing is in the form of progress payments, the progress payment rate in the subcontract is the customary rate used by the contracting agency, depending on whether the subcontractor is or is not a small business concern.

(7) Concerning any proceeds received by the Government for property to which title has vested in the Government under the subcontract terms, the parties agree that the proceeds shall be applied to reducing any unliquidated financing payments by the Government to the Contractor under this contract.

(8) If no unliquidated financing payments to the Contractor remain, but there are unliquidated financing payments that the Contractor has made to any subcontractor, the Contractor shall be subrogated to all the rights the Government obtained through the terms required by this clause to be in any subcontract, as if all such rights had been assigned and transferred to the Contractor.

(9) To facilitate small business participation in subcontracting under this contract, the Contractor shall provide financing payments to small business concerns, in conformity with the standards for customary contract financing payments stated in Subpart 32.113. The Contractor shall not consider the need for such financing payments as a handicap or adverse factor in the award of subcontracts.

(k) Limitations on undefinitized contract actions. Notwithstanding any other progress payment provisions in this contract, progress payments may not exceed 80 percent of costs incurred on work accomplished under undefinitized contract actions. A “contract action” is any action resulting in a contract, as defined in Subpart 2.1, including contract modifications for additional supplies or services, but not including contract modifications that are within the scope and under the terms of the contract, such as contract modifications issued pursuant to the Changes clause, or funding and other administrative changes. This limitation shall apply to the costs incurred, as computed in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause, and shall remain in effect until the contract action is definitized. Costs incurred which are subject to this limitation shall be segregated on Contractor progress payment requests and invoices from those costs eligible for higher progress payment rates. For purposes of progress payment liquidation, as described in paragraph (b) of this clause, progress payments for undefinitized contract actions shall be liquidated at 80 percent of the amount invoiced for work performed under the undefinitized contract action as long as the contract action remains undefinitized. The amount of unliquidated progress payments for undefinitized contract actions shall not exceed 80 percent of the maximum liability of the Government under the undefinitized contract action or such lower limit specified elsewhere in the contract. Separate limits may be specified for separate actions.

(l) Due date. The designated payment office will make progress payments on the ______ [Contracting Officer insert date as prescribed by agency head; if not prescribed, insert “30th”] day after the designated billing office receives a proper progress payment request. In the event that the Government requires an audit or other review of a specific progress payment request to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the contract, the designated payment office is not compelled to make a payment by the specified due date. Progress payments are considered contract financing and are not subject to the interest penalty provisions of the Prompt Payment Act. (m) Progress payments under indefinite--delivery contracts. The Contractor shall account for and submit progress payment requests under individual orders as if the order constituted a separate contract, unless otherwise specified in this contract.

Title to Government property shall not be affected by its incorporation into or attachment to any property not owned by the Government, nor shall Government property become a fixture or lose its identity as personal property by being attached to any real property.

 

 

 

(3) Title to each item of facilities and special test equipment acquired by the Contractor for the Government under this contract shall pass to and vest in the Government when its use in performing this contract commences or when the Government has paid for it, whichever is earlier, whether or not title previously vested in the Government.

 

 

 

(4) If this contract contains a provision directing the Contractor to purchase material for which the Government will reimburse the Contractor as a direct item of cost under this contract —


 

 

 

(i) Title to material purchased from a vendor shall pass to and vest in the Government upon the vendor’s delivery of such material; and

 

 

 

(ii) Title to all other material shall pass to and vest in the Government upon —


 

 

 

(A) Issuance of the material for use in contract performance;

 

 

 

(B) Commencement of processing of the material or its use in contract performance; or

 

 

 

(C) Reimbursement of the cost of the material by the Government, whichever occurs first.

(d) Use of Government property. The Government property shall be used only for performing this contract, unless otherwise provided in this contract or approved by the Contracting Officer.

 

 

 

(e) Property administration.


 

 

 

(1) The Contractor shall be responsible and accountable for all Government property provided under this contract and shall comply with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 45.5, as in effect on the date of this contract.

 

 

 

(2) The Contractor shall establish and maintain a program for the use, maintenance, repair, protection, and preservation of Government property in accordance with sound industrial practice and the applicable provisions of Subpart 45.5 of the FAR.

 

 

 

(3) If damage occurs to Government property, the risk of which has been assumed by the Government under this contract, the Government shall replace the items or the Contractor shall make such repairs as the Government directs. However, if the Contractor cannot effect such repairs within the time required, the Contractor shall dispose of the property as directed by the Contracting Officer. When any property for which the Government is responsible is replaced or repaired, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in accordance with paragraph (h) of this clause.

 

 

 

(4) The Contractor represents that the contract price does not include any amount for repairs or replacement for which the Government is responsible. Repair or replacement of property for which the Contractor is responsible shall be accomplished by the Contractor at its own expense.


 

 

 

(f) Access. The Government and all its designees shall have access at all reasonable times to the premises in which any Government property is located for the purpose of inspecting the Government property.

 

 

 

(g)    Limited risk of loss. (1) The term “Contractor’s managerial personnel,” as used in this paragraph (g), means the Contractor’s directors, officers, and any of the Contractor’s managers, superintendents, or equivalent representatives who have supervision or direction of—


 

 

 

(i) All or substantially all of the Contractor’s business;

 

 

 

(ii) All or substantially all of the Contractor’s operation at any one plant or separate location at which the contract is being performed; or

 

 

 

(iii) A separate and complete major industrial operation connected with performing this contract.


 

 

 

(2) The Contractor shall not be liable for loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Government property provided under this contract (or, if an educational or nonprofit organization, for expenses incidental to such loss, destruction, or damage), except as provided in subparagraphs (3) and (4) below.

 

 

 

(3) The Contractor shall be responsible for loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Government property provided under this contract (including expenses incidental to such loss, destruction, or damage)—


 

 

 

(i) That results from a risk expressly required to be insured under this contract, but only to the extent of the insurance required to be purchased and maintained, or to the extent of insurance actually purchased and maintained, whichever is greater;

 

 

 

(ii) That results from a risk that is in fact covered by insurance or for which the Contractor is otherwise reimbursed, but only to the extent of such insurance or reimbursement;

 

 

 

(iii) For which the Contractor is otherwise responsible under the express terms of this contract;

 

 

 

(iv) That results from willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor’s managerial personnel; or

(v) That results from a failure on the part of the Contractor, due to willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor’s managerial personnel, to establish and administer a program or system for the control, use, protection, preservation, maintenance, and repair of Government property as required by paragraph (e) of this clause.


 

 

 

(4)(i) If the Contractor fails to act as provided in subdivision (g)(3)(v) above, after being notified (by certified mail addressed to one of the Contractor’s managerial personnel) of the Government’s disapproval, withdrawal of approval, or nonacceptance of the system or program, it shall be conclusively presumed that such failure was due to willful misconduct or lack of good faith on the part of the Contractor’s managerial personnel.


 

 

 

(ii) In such event, any loss or destruction of, or damage to, the Government property shall be presumed to have resulted from such failure unless the Contractor can establish by clear and convincing evidence that such loss, destruction, or damage—


 

 

 

(A) Did not result from the Contractor’s failure to maintain an approved program or system; or

 

 

 

(B) Occurred while an approved program or system was maintained by the Contractor.


 

 

 

(5) If the Contractor transfers Government property to the possession and control of a subcontractor, the transfer shall not affect the liability of the Contractor for loss or destruction of, or damage to, the property as set forth above. However, the Contractor shall require the subcontractor to assume the risk of, and be responsible for, any loss or destruction of, or damage to, the property while in the subcontractor’s possession or control, except to the extent that the subcontract, with the advance approval of the Contracting Officer, relieves the subcontractor from such liability. In the absence of such approval, the subcontract shall contain appropriate provisions requiring the return of all Government property in as good condition as when received, except for reasonable wear and tear or for its use in accordance with the provisions of the prime contract.

Para (6) for DoD:

 

 

 

(6) [The contractor shall notify the contracting officer u]pon loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property provided under this contract, [with the exception of low value property for which loss, damage, or destruction is reported at contract termination, completion, or when needed for continued contract performance. T]he Contractor shall take all reasonable action to protect the Government property from further damage, separate the damaged and undamaged Government property, put all the affected Government property in the best possible order, and furnish to the Contracting Officer a statement of—


 

 

 

(i) The lost, destroyed, or damaged Government property;

 

 

 

(ii) The time and origin of the loss, destruction, or damage;

 

 

 

(iii) All known interests in commingled property of which the Government property is a part; and

 

 

 

(iv) The insurance, if any, covering any part of or interest in such commingled property.


 

 

 

(7) The Contractor shall repair, renovate, and take such other action with respect to damaged Government property as the Contracting Officer directs. If the Government property is destroyed or damaged beyond practical repair, or is damaged and so commingled or combined with property of others (including the Contractor’s) that separation is impractical, the Contractor may, with the approval of and subject to any conditions imposed by the Contracting Officer, sell such property for the account of the Government. Such sales may be made in order to minimize the loss to the Government, permit the resumption of business, or to accomplish a similar purpose. The Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in the contract price for the expenditures made in performing the obligations under this subparagraph (g)(7) in accordance with paragraph (h) of this clause. However, the Government may directly reimburse the loss and salvage organization for any of their charges. The Contracting Officer shall give due regard to the Contractor’s liability under this paragraph (g) when making such equitable adjustment.

(8) The Contractor represents that it is not including in the price and agrees it will not hereafter include in any price to the Government any charge or reserve for insurance (including any self-insurance fund or reserve) covering loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, except to the extent that the Government may have expressly required the Contractor to carry such insurance under another provision of this contract.

 

 

 

(9) In the event the Contractor is reimbursed or otherwise compensated for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, the Contractor shall use the proceeds to repair, renovate, or replace the lost, destroyed, or damaged Government property or shall otherwise credit the proceeds to or equitably reimburse the Government, as directed by the Contracting Officer.

 

 

 

(10) The Contractor shall do nothing to prejudice the Government’s rights to recover against third parties for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property. Upon the request of the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall, at the Government’s expense, furnish to the Government all reasonable assistance and cooperation (including the prosecution of suit and the execution of instruments of assignment in favor of the Government) in obtaining recovery. In addition, where a subcontractor has not been relieved from liability for any loss or destruction of, or damage to, Government property, the Contractor shall enforce for the benefit of the Government the liability of the subcontractor for such loss, destruction, or damage.

 

 

 

(h) Equitable adjustment. When this clause specifies an equitable adjustment, it shall be made to any affected contract provision in accordance with the procedures of the Changes clause. When appropriate, the Contracting Officer may initiate an equitable adjustment in favor of the Government. The right to an equitable adjustment shall be the Contractor’s exclusive remedy. The Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract for —


 

 

 

(1) Any delay in delivery of Government-furnished property;

 

 

 

(2) Delivery of Government-furnished property in a condition not suitable for its intended use;

 

 

 

(3) A decrease in or substitution of Government-furnished property; or

 

 

 

(4) Failure to repair or replace Government property for which the Government is responsible.


 

 

 

(i) Final accounting and disposition of Government property. Upon completing this contract, or at such earlier dates as may be fixed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall submit, in a form acceptable to the Contracting Officer, inventory schedules covering all items of Government property (including any resulting scrap) not consumed in performing this contract or delivered to the Government. The Contractor shall prepare for shipment, deliver f.o.b. origin, or dispose of the Government property as may be directed or authorized by the Contracting Officer. The net proceeds of any such disposal shall be credited to the contract price or shall be paid to the Government as the Contracting Officer directs.

 

 

 

(j) Abandonment and restoration of Contractor’s premises. Unless otherwise provided herein, the Government —


 

 

 

(1) May abandon any Government property in place, at which time all obligations of the Government regarding such abandoned property shall cease; and

 

 

 

(2) Has no obligation to restore or rehabilitate the Contractor’s premises under any circumstances (e.g., abandonment, disposition upon completion of need, or upon contract completion). However, if the Government-furnished property (listed in the Schedule or specifications) is withdrawn or is unsuitable for the intended use, or if other Government property is substituted, then the equitable adjustment under paragraph (h) of this clause may properly include restoration or rehabilitation costs.


 

 

 

(k) Communications. All communications under this clause shall be in writing.

 

 

 

(l) Overseas contracts. If this contract is to be performed outside of the United States

1.0 Scope

This Statement of Work (SOW) is for the continued operation, fielding, repair, improvement, and evolution of the L-band communications aspects of the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) Blue Force Tracking (BFT) System. This SOW covers all activities required to continue to operate the FBCB2 BFT network, develop new capabilities, provide training, provide additional services, provide additional hardware items to the network to support continued FBCB2 BFT fielding, repair existing hardware, and evolve the L-band communications subsystems to meet existing objective and new FBCB2 capabilities, including US Army, Joint, and Foreign BFT Operations. In order to successfully meet program objectives, the FBCB2 BFT L-band full Authorized Army Authorized Objective (AAO) quantity of systems with enhanced capability will be delivered incrementally with increasing quantities, capabilities and functionality over a period of five years from date of award.

For this SOW, the Government requires L-band System Integration hardware and services that can leverage the past investment, integrate software and hardware, verify operations in a representative tactical environment, and deliver the required products with enhanced capabilities in the timeframes established for the FBCB2 program. To ensure efforts are done properly, the contractor shall use this SOW as the foundation in responding to each Delivery Order. The contractor shall provide technical support to external organizations (e.g., Abrams PM and associated support contractors) in support of development and integration of the FBCB2 products into target host platforms. In addition, to ensure a smooth integration process, the contractor shall support technical reviews of external systems and supporting hardware functionality and/or planned enhancements to identify potential deficiencies in the end product that will result in the L-band equipment being operable with that product. The contractor shall provide recommendations for resolving any potential deficiencies.

The intent of this contract is to procure service and capability through a sequence of Delivery Orders. The contractor shall perform the requirements for the tasks herein as authorized by individual Delivery Orders, which will be issued from time to time during the performance period in accordance with the terms of this contract and within the scope of this SOW. The initial delivery order for this contract will be issued simultaneously with this contract and is attached to this SOW. As applicable, the contractor shall utilize existing documentation delivered by the contractor under prior contracts.

3.0 Requirements

3.1 L-band Satellite Service

The Contractor shall provide L-band satellite service to the current FBCB2 BFT mobile terminals (CMDC MT-2011-04, MT-2011E, and Contractor network-capable handhelds), and other terminals as they are developed and fielded. Service from each provider must be capable of interfacing with all current BFT platform terminals. The satellite network must be capable of handling multiple simultaneous transmissions from the mobile terminals, with a completion rate of greater than        and a latency of less than         seconds (platform to NOC or NOC to platform) for all packets. Packet completion rate and transit time will be calculated by the PMO through the use of Diagnostic Equipment measuring messages sent between the CCS servers in the NOC and selected BFT platforms in the field. This assumes the CMS network elements including transceivers are operating with currently approved software, hardware, and firmware; the transceiver is within the satellite beam footprint, has an unobstructed view of satellite, has a satellite look angle between        and        degrees absent of any external RF interference, and a satellite channel loading at less than full capacity.

All data sent between the platform terminal and the Network Packet Switch must be encrypted. The network must, at minimum, operate using the                            Encryption Standard        as currently agreed between FBCB2 and CMDC. All packet payloads (in either direction) will be encrypted                            . Some current installations may use        ; however, they will be migrated to              as soon as fielded equipment can be upgraded. 

          Any requested or proposed change to the encryption standards used on FBCB2 BFT network will be submitted in writing for review, analysis, and approval by the PM FBCB2 BFT or his designee prior to the network implementation. Any change to the encryption standard must be approved in writing by PdM BFT or his designated representative.

Circuits from the satellite to the commercial Earth Station may be on any standard band, provided positive connectivity can be maintained under all conditions. Except for frequency conversion, no signal processing will be done on the satellite or at the commercial Earth Station. The satellite network must operate as a ‘bent pipe’. Racks containing beam processing cards and network management/monitoring equipment shall be secured by a means to prevent unauthorized and/or unmonitored access. Security mechanisms will meet the minimum standards set by the PdM BFT.

                    The contractor is expected to sub-contract with regional communications and satellite service providers, as necessary, to provide best value coverage in each geographic area. Options for alternate service, using different providers and/or satellites, must be identified and available for all areas outside CONUS designated as combat areas.

Note that satellite service is required to support all compatible transceivers that the Government requires to be part of the FBCB2 Blue Force Tracking (BFT) network. These transceivers may have been procured over the past several years by PM FBCB2 or by PM Movement Tracking System (MTS), or, these transceivers may also have been procured by other government agencies and contractors. Under the scope of this contract, The Contractor shall afford satellite services to all transceivers identified by the Government as long as the channel requirements or simultaneous operation limits specified in this statement of work are not breached.

The CSR shall include progress/status reporting against the delivery schedule in effect on this contract. Each update shall maintain a running history of progress in meeting schedules and include a brief description of activities and accomplishment during each reporting period. The Contractor shall use the CSR to identify changes, the status of the critical path, provide risk management plan and updates, and to document slippages to the delivery schedule (this does not relieve the requirement to notify PCO of schedule slips). Government acceptance of CSR does not assume Government concurrences with its content or changes to schedules presented therein. The monthly Contract Status Report and the Contract Performance Report (CDRL C008) may be combined into one report for submittal to the Government.

3.6.5 Contractor Cost Data Reporting (CCDR).

Applicability: Cost data reporting is required under this contract on all CPFF portions of the contract, the Packet Switches and Field Service Stations (FSS), and all cost items that were added to the commercial item MT 2011E and MT 2012E transceivers at the request of FBCB2. The cost data reporting will reflect all appropriate Delivery Orders placed during each year.

Exception: The PM does not require CCDR reporting on the CCDR effort.

3.6.5.1   Reporting Elements. Contractor cost data shall be collected on all reporting elements specified in CDRL C017, C018, and C019, the RFP or in the contract that references the reporting requirements in the Contract Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR) Plan approved by the Cost Analysis Improvement Group (CAIG) Chair, see attachment ?? for the FBCB2 CSDR plan numbered A-04-E-C6. The contractor is responsible for editing the CAIG approved CSDR plan issued with the RFP and returning the edited plan to the PM for reapproval during negotiations process. Reporting elements are any contract items on which data are to be collected. They primarily consist of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) elements but also include such other subdivisions as General and Administrative (G&A) expense and profit or fee. The requirements for these reports shall be specified in the Request for Proposals (RFP). More than one contractor (prime, associate, or subcontractor) may report on a reporting element.

27


Updated 24 August 2007

3.6.5.2  Report Submission. Contractors shall submit the CCDRs showing actual and estimated contract costs at frequencies specified in the contract/CSDR plan. Reports shall be prepared in accordance with the guidelines and definitions that follow

3.6.5.3  Prime contractors and subcontractors are subject to the same criteria in determining reporting requirements. A subcontractor whose contract meets the dollar thresholds and other criteria specified in Chapter 2 of CCDR Manual 5000.4M-1shall have CCDR requirements included in its contract with the prime contractor. The prime or associate contractor is responsible for incorporating the subcontractor’s reporting requirements into the affected contracts. Subcontractors shall report directly to the DCARC to facilitate processing. A copy of the report may also be provided to the prime contractor if the subcontractor agrees.

          a. Contractors shall report all actual and estimated costs, regardless of contract ceiling or contract type (e.g., firm fixed price). This requirement may result in reported costs being higher than costs actually paid for by the government. Report all cost data in thousands of dollars rounded to the nearest tenth, unless otherwise specified in the RFP or contract. For example, $245,671,423 would be reported as $245,671.4.

          b. All contractor data sources must be included. In situations where the data cannot be provided in the requested format without a major effort or a major change to the accounting system (e.g., if a contractor’s accounting system does not aggregate to a specified cost category), the contractor shall provide a best estimate. The contractor shall provide the basis for the estimate in the “Remarks” section of the appropriate report.

          c. When the same contract contains different models or versions of an end item as separate contract line items, separate reports may be required on each model or version. The requirement for separate reporting shall be delineated in the CSDR Plan, the RFP, and the contract. A separate reporting requirement can be expected when there are significant cost or technical characteristic differences between the models or versions.

          d. Each form contains a section for Remarks. Use this section, and additional sheets as required, whenever space provided for a data item is insufficient or the contractor must deviate from the format or definitions. The instructions for a specific form may suggest the use of the “Remarks” section in certain instances. In the “Remarks” section of each required form, contractors reporting to the Department of Defense shall note the names, purchase orders, and subcontract numbers of subcontractors designated to submit reports directly to the Department of Defense.

          e. If no costs were incurred during a reporting period, the contractor shall insert a zero (0) in the appropriate place on the form.

          f. The Data Item Descriptions (DIDs) for the CCDRs define recurring and nonrecurring costs. If contractors must deviate from these definitions when reporting, the DCARC encourages them to coordinate with the DoD PM and CWIPT to reach an agreement on how costs are to be split between recurring and nonrecurring costs. This agreement should be reached at the same time the CWBS and dictionary are being prepared and approved. (All DIDs can be accessed at http://assistdocs.com/search/search_basic.cfm)

Data is to be submitted using DD Form 1921, “Cost Data Summary Report,” and its related Data Item Description (DID), DI-FNCL-81565A, and DD Form 1921-1, “Functional Cost-Hour and Progress Curve Report,” and its related DID, DI-FNCL-81566A. The DCARC shall use the DIDs as

Updated 24 August 2007

one of the bases for report validation. Copies of DD Form 1921 and DD Form 1921-1 are available at the following Web site: http://dcarc.pae.osd.mil/ccdr/ccdr_formstools.htm. Copies of the Microsoft Excel templates for each report and the CCDR Pre-processor tool are available at http://dcarc.pae.osd.mil. All reports should be posted to the DCARC website and on the PEO C3T Knowledge Center.

All Comtech supplied services and products used on the BFT network shall meet the requirements set forth in FIPS 140-2 for level 2 compliance, Army Regulation 25-2, DoDI 8500.1 and DoDI 8500.2, and the BFT System Security Authorization Agreement System Requirements Traceability Matrix. If these requirements cannot be met, a waiver must be secured from the Army. Any variance from the requirements in this paragraph must be approved in writing by the Government prior to use on the BFT network. As software and hardware products and security functionality are updated, the Contractor shall adapt the design of the FBCB2 BFT functions to meet security requirements. The FBCB2 BFT system will operate as a Mission Assurance Category (MAC) Level I, as described in DoDI 8500.1, and will meet the IA requirements for the protection of information at this level.

Contractor personnel performing IT Position Category duties as defined in AR 25-2 and applicable to unclassified DoD information systems, must meet the investigative and assignment requirements IAW AR 25-2 and AR 380-67. An IT Position Category Designator indicates the level of IT access required to execute the responsibilities of the position based on the potential for an individual assigned to the position to adversely impact DoD missions or functions. Position categories include: IT-I (Privileged), IT-II (Limited Privileged) and IT-III (Non-Privileged). Investigative requirements for each category are defined in Paragraph 4-14a, AR 25-2 (Reference 2). IT Postion Management is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor maintains administrative accounting and control of all CMS FBCB2 BFT authorized IT Positions. A by-name listing of personnel assigned to IT Level positions will be used to maintain accountability of assignment to IT-sensitive positions. Upon assignment to a position, the appropriate investigation will be initiated. An individual will not be allowed to work in an IT-sensitive until the investigative requirements are met. If the appropriate investigative requirements cannot be favorably adjudicated, the individual will not be assigned to the IT-sensitive position. The government’s
