Radyne Corporation

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Information for March 31, 2007 and 2006 is Unaudited)

 

1) Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Radyne Corporation (the “Company”) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared in accordance with the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. A copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are available through the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov or through our website found at www.radn.com in the Investors section.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. The Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions.

 

2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a decrease of $568,000 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as increases to the January 1, 2007 balances of retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $514,000 and $54,000, respectively. As of the date of adoption and after accounting for the cumulative effect adjustment noted above, the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 totaled approximately $1.7 million.

The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods was approximately $1.3 million as of the date of adoption.

The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense; the amount recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled approximately $8,000. Accrued interest and penalties as of January 1, 2007 and March 31, 2007 were approximately $24,000 and $32,000, respectively. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the next twelve months.

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the following material taxing jurisdictions: U.S. federal, Arizona and California. The tax years that remain open to examination by the U.S. federal jurisdiction are years 2003 through 2006; the Arizona and California filings that remain open to examination are years 2002 through 2006.

3) Share-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)), Share-Based Payment, and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of all share-based compensation under the fair value method. At the date of adoption, the Company used the modified prospective transition method, which did not result in the restatement of previously issued financial statements. The Company did not issue any stock options or awards during the first quarter of 2007.

The following table summarizes option activity under the plans as of March 31, 2007 and changes during the period then ended.

Exercisable at March 31, 2007

   2,090     $ 8.48    6.07    $ 4,341
                        

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $9.12 as of March 31, 2007 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable as of that date. The excess tax benefit realized from stock plan dispositions and amount classified as cash provided by financing in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was $19,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The Company expects to recognize $1.2 million in future compensation expense related to non-vested options with a weighted average vesting period remaining of 2.10 years.

As of March 31, 2007, there were 469,629 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to future stock option grants.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), as of March 31, 2007, 134,323 shares remain unissued under the ESPP.

Financial Impact of SFAS 123(R)

SFAS 123(R) resulted in stock option expense during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Below is an allocation of the expense:

 

     Three Months Ended
     March 31, 2007    March 31, 2006
     (in thousands, except per share data)

Cost of sales

Total stock compensation expense

   $ 288    $ 563
             

Total stock compensation expense, after tax

   $ 178    $ 357
             

Diluted earnings per share impact

   $ 0.01    $ 0.02
             

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Options-Pricing Model to determine the fair value of stock options under SFAS 123(R). Management is required to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including anticipated changes in the underlying stock price (i.e., expected volatility) and option exercise activity (i.e., expected term). The Company made assumptions for the three categories of compensation expense recorded during the period: stock options, ESPP, and awards granted. Since directors, executives and non-executives have different historical option exercise patterns, the Company grouped its assumptions into categories for options issued under these categories. The expected term was determined to be 5 years for directors, 6 years for executives and 3 years for non-executives based on these historical option exercise patterns and excluding grants that the Company determined were not

reflective of the current business environment. Volatility was calculated using the Company’s historical volatility rates. The risk free interest rate was calculated using the current quoted rates from U.S Government Treasury instruments. The following table represents the weighted average assumptions used to determine compensation cost for stock options during the three-month period ending March 31, 2006. The Company did not grant option or awards during the first quarter of 2007.

For the ESPP, historical information was used from the prior six-month period to determine the term and volatility. The following valuation data was input for the ESPP for the period ended March 31, 2007: Expected term (years) – 0.49, Risk-free interest rate – 4.96%, Dividend yield – 0.0, and Volatility – 44%. The Company recognized $104,000 of compensation expense under the ESPP during the first quarter of 2007.

(9) Segment Reporting

The Company is organized into two operating segments: 1) satellite electronics and broadcast equipment, represented by Radyne and Tiernan product brands; and 2) amplifiers, represented by Xicom products. Each segment is organized and managed separately for the purposes of making key decisions such as sales/marketing, product development and capital allocation. Ultimately, the chief operating decision maker evaluates and makes decisions, based on the financial information available, about these two segments. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the CEO. Below are the results of operations from these two operating segments. For further discussion of these results, refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

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

The management’s discussion and analysis that follows is designed to provide information that will assist readers in understanding our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, changes in certain items in those statements during the quarter and from year to year, the primary factors that caused those changes, and how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our financial statements. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document as well as the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Except for the historical information contained herein, statements contained in this Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform Act”) and the Company claims the protection of the safe-harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Reform Act. These forward-looking statements are often characterized by the terms “may,” “believes,” “projects,” “expects,” or “anticipates,” and do not reflect historical facts. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. The Company does not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. For other events that may affect the Company’s business, please see Factors That May Affect Radyne’s Business and Future Results.

Overview

The Company designs, manufactures, sells, integrates and installs products, systems and software used for the transmission and reception of data and video over satellite, troposcatter, microwave and cable communication networks. The Company, through its Tiernan subsidiary, is a supplier of HDTV and SDTV encoding and transmission equipment. The Xicom subsidiary is a producer of high power amplifiers for communications applications. The Company has two segments: 1) satellite electronics and broadcast equipment; represented by the Radyne and Tiernan brands; and 2) amplifiers; represented by Xicom products. The Company is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, has sales and manufacturing facilities in Phoenix, Arizona and in San Diego and Santa Clara, California, and sales or service centers in Boca Raton, Florida; Singapore; China; Indonesia; the Netherlands; and the United Kingdom. The Company employs 335 people throughout the USA, Europe and Asia. The Company serves customers in over 90 countries; including customers in the television broadcast industry, international telecommunications companies, internet service providers, private communications networks, network and cable television, and the United States government.

The following were some of the highlights and recent developments for the three months ended March 31, 2007:

 

   

The Company recorded its sixteenth consecutive profitable quarter

 

   

Second strongest bookings quarter in the company’s history at $35.4 million

 

   

For the quarter, the Company reported sales of $29.7 million

 

   

Earnings for the quarter were $0.10 per diluted share

 

   

Increased cash by $1.9 million in first quarter

Additional information on these and other operating results is described in detail below.

Results of Operations

Sales. Net sales generally consist of sales of products, net of returns and allowances.

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007    2006    Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Sales

   $ 29,650    $ 31,194    ($ 1,544 )   -5 %

Sales during the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 declined to $29.7 million compared to $31.2 million in the equivalent period in 2006. Sales in the Company’s amplifier segment grew to $15.6 million during the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 5% from the first quarter of 2006. This was offset by a 14% decrease in sales in the satellite electronics and broadcast equipment segment ($14.0 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $16.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2006). This was due, in part, because of general weakness in markets for the segment’s products. The improvement in amplifier sales resulted from higher sales of Q-band amplifiers to the US Government and newly introduced Ka-band amplifiers to both government and commercial customers.

Table of Contents

Based on current order backlog (see below), the Company believes that sales of satellite modems and converters will continue to lag behind historical sales in the second quarter. The Company believes that satellite modems and related equipment sales will recover in the second half of the year as a result of new product introductions and featured enhancements to existing products. We believe sales of broadcast encoders and decoders will improve in the remaining three quarters of the year due to improved bookings and also the Company’s decision to invest in additional sales and marketing resources related to these products. New orders for Ka-band amplifiers to commercial customers and the US Government should result in continued sales strength for the amplifier segment. The Company believes that the combined effect of these factors will result in increased sales on a consolidated basis, particularly during the third and fourth quarters. However, there is no assurance that these sales increases will be achieved.

Cost of sales, gross profit and gross margin. Cost of sales generally consists of costs associated with components, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping, and quality assurance, depreciation of equipment, and indirect manufacturing costs. In addition, any expense related to adjusting the value of excess or obsolete inventory to reflect current market values (when lower than original cost) is included in cost of sales. Gross profit is the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of net sales. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our cost of sales, gross profit and gross margin for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007     2006     Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Cost of Sales

   $ 17,518     $ 18,304     ($786 )   -4 %

Gross Profit

   $ 12,132     $ 12,890     ($758 )   -6 %

Gross Margin %

     41 %     41 %   0 %  

The decreased consolidated gross profit, during the three-months ended March 31, 2007, was a result of the decrease in consolidated sales. Sales of amplifiers (which have lower gross margins than satellite electronics and broadcast equipment) represented 53% of consolidated sales during the first quarter of 2007 compared to 48% for the equivalent period of 2006. This change in mix was offset by improvements in amplifier gross margins.

As described above, management believes that improvements in sales in the satellite electronics and broadcast segment during the remainder of the year will result in improvements in both consolidated gross profits and gross margins.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”). Sales and marketing expenses consist of salaries, commissions for marketing and support personnel, and travel. Executives and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our finance, human resources, information systems, and other administrative personnel, as well as facilities, professional fees, benefits, liability and D&O insurance premiums, depreciation and amortization and related expenses. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our selling, general and administrative expenses for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007     2006     Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Selling, general & administrative

   $ 6,540     $ 6,529     $ 11     0 %

Percentage of sales

     22 %     21 %     1 %  

SG&A expense remained flat during the first quarter. Increases in the sales force and other general expenses during the first quarter of 2007 were offset by decreases in compensation related to the recruitment and hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer during the first quarter of 2006. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $250,000 related to the recovery of a bad debt originally acquired with Xicom Technology in May of 2005.

For the remainder of the year, we expect SG&A to remain stable with increases in expense related to general inflation and increased sales commissions to be offset with reductions in transition expenses related to the hiring of a new Chief Executive Officer in 2006 and reductions in the Company’s professional fees related to Sarbanes Oxley Section 404 compliance.

Research and development (“R&D”). Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related costs and materials. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our research and development expenses for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007     2006     Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Research and development

   $ 2,866     $ 2,724     $ 142     5 %

Percentage of sales

     10 %     9 %     1 %  

The overall increase for the three-month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 is primarily attributed to increases in non-reimbursable R&D expenses in our Xicom amplifier business.

For the remainder of year of 2007, management expects R&D expense levels to remain, as a proportion of sales, similar to current levels. The Company will continue to invest in new products and upgrades to sustain strategic goals.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense consists of changes in deferred taxes and amounts recognized as payable to the federal government, states and foreign countries in which the Company does business.

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007    2006    Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Income taxes

   $ 1,193    $ 1,381    ($ 188 )   -14 %

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, the Company’s income tax expense decreased, compared to the equivalent period in 2006, principally due to a decrease in earnings before income taxes offset by an increase in our effective tax from 36.6% to 38.3%. This increase in the effective rate, compared to the equivalent period in 2006, relates principally to the recording of changes in income tax benefits earned in prior years discretely in the first quarter of 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a decrease of $568,000 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as increases to the January 1, 2007 balances of retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $514,000 and $54,000, respectively.

Net Earnings. Net earnings is the result of reducing gross profit by SG&A expenses and R&D expenses, other income and expense (including interest), and income taxes. The following table summarizes our net earnings and the earnings available to each fully diluted share of common stock for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007    2006    Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Net earnings

   $ 1,918    $ 2,396    ($ 478 )   -20 %

Diluted EPS

   $ 0.10    $ 0.13    ($ 0.03 )   -23 %

For the three months ended March 31, 2007, earnings decreased slightly primarily as a result of the reduced sales described in detail above. The decrease in earnings per share for the three-month period resulted from the decrease in earnings and an increase in the weighted average number of diluted shares outstanding which was due to exercised incentive stock options and shares issued through the employee stock purchase plan.

Management believes that the forthcoming quarter, assuming it follows typical seasonal patterns, will result in flat sales and overall profits. However, there is no assurance that sales and profits will continue to follow typical patterns in future periods.

Bookings and Backlog. Bookings consist of orders taken while backlog is the total of these orders not yet shipped at the end of the period. The Company charges cancellation fees for orders that cancel and the net difference between the backlog amount and the cancellation charge is recorded as a negative booking. There is no guarantee that cancellation charges will ultimately be paid to the Company. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of bookings (orders taken) and backlog (orders to be shipped in future periods) for the periods presented below:

 

     Three months ended March 31,  
     2007    2006    Change     %  
     (in thousands)  

Bookings

   $ 35,439    $ 32,702    $ 2,737     8 %

Ending Backlog

   $ 31,109    $ 33,755    ($ 2,646 )   -8 %

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2007, the increase in bookings was primarily due to orders received in our amplifier segment for the new Ka-band amplifiers from US government and commercial customers. During the quarter, our amplifier segment booked $21.5 million in new orders compared to $14.2 million during the first quarter of 2006 (before eliminations). This increase was offset by reduced orders in our satellite electronics and broadcast segment which booked $14.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $19.5 million in 2006 (before eliminations). As with sales described above, increases in bookings for our amplifiers consisted of strong market acceptance of the Ka-band and Q-band amplifiers. The drop in orders for the satellite electronics and broadcast segment resulted from decreases in orders across most of the segment’s product lines. However, orders for broadcast products increased from the fourth quarter of 2006 to the first quarter of 2007.

The Company has undertaken a number of initiatives to increase new orders in the satellite electronics and broadcast segment including the introduction of new products and hiring additional sales personnel. Early indications are that these efforts should increase orders in the coming quarters, however, there is no assurance that orders will increase.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $29.4 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $27.5 million at December 31, 2006. This increase resulted primarily from cash from operations of $2.3 million.

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities for the first three-months of 2007 was $2.3 million as compared to $2.1 million for the first three-months of 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from net earnings of $1.9 million. Cash from operations was provided by a decrease in accounts receivable of $5.5 million, an increase in income taxes payable of $859,000, and an increase in accounts payable of $659,000. Cash used in operations included an increase in inventories of $3.8 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $3.0 million. The increase in inventories was planned to assure timely shipment of increases in expected customer orders in the coming quarters. The decrease in accrued expense was partially due to management incentive plan payouts in the first quarter of 2007.

Investing Activities:

Net cash used in investing activities for the first three-months of 2007 was $562,000 as compared to $375,000 for the first three-months of 2006. Costs associated with capital expenditures were $581,000 offset by proceeds from sales of property and equipment of $19,000. Management believes that capital expenditures will be similar to rates of depreciation for the foreseeable future.

Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $194,000 for the first three-months of 2007, which consisted primarily of employee stock option exercises of $175,000. During the first three-months of 2006, there was $2.5 million in employee stock option exercises. The Company currently does not have any debt outstanding and management will continue to evaluate the Company’s financing needs throughout the upcoming quarters.

Liquidity Analysis

The Company maintains a credit arrangement with a bank for up to $15.0 million, based upon 75% of eligible accounts receivable plus cash. The amount of credit available to us under the credit agreement at March 31, 2007 was $14.8 million. The Company paid approximately $50,000 representing a facility fee and bank costs for a two-year commitment on the arrangement, whether or not any amounts are actually drawn on the line of credit.

The credit agreement expires on May 1, 2008 and limits or prohibits mergers, consolidations, acquisitions, transfers of assets, liens, loans and investments in other entities and limits the use of proceeds, acquisitions of assets, indebtedness and capital expenditures

Table of Contents

without the bank’s consent. To be eligible to draw funds under the line of credit, the credit agreement requires us to maintain specific levels of tangible net worth, earnings and other ratios. The Company is in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2007. The overall credit agreement specifies an interest rate between LIBOR plus 150 basis points and prime rate minus 50 basis points depending on terms and other conditions.

Contractual Obligations

As of March 31, 2007, there have been no material changes outside the normal course of business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, under the caption Contractual Obligations and Commitments.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements as defined by Regulation S-K 229.303(a) (4) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company has chosen accounting policies appropriate to report accurately and fairly the operating results and financial position of the Company, and applies those accounting policies in a consistent manner. As described in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company considers policies on accounting for revenue recognition, stock compensation, valuation of receivables, valuation and impairment of intangible assets, warranty liability, valuation of inventory, and accounting for income tax to be the most critical factors in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this Form 10-Q or in any document incorporated herein by reference to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to certain financial market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks result primarily from changes in interest rates. In addition, our international operations are subject to risks related to differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures and other regulations and restrictions.

As of March 31, 2007, a change in interest rates of 10% over a year’s period would not have a material impact on our earnings. The Company did not have any outstanding debt as of March 31, 2007.

Foreign exchange rate risk has not been material. If the exchange rate risk does become material, the Company plans to use forward pricing contracts to mitigate those risks.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its periodic reports filed with the Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in rules and forms of the Commission and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007. Based upon such review, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of that date, the Company’s controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Information regarding reportable legal proceedings is contained in Part I, Item 3. Legal Proceedings in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The following describes legal proceedings, if any, that became reportable during the quarter ended March 31, 2007, and if applicable, amends and restates descriptions of previously reported legal proceedings in which there have been material developments during such quarter.

As previously disclosed, in April 2006, Comtech EF Data Corp. filed a complaint (Comtech EF Data Corporation v. Radyne Corporation Case No. 2:06cv01132) in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona alleging one count of patent infringement claiming that some of the Company’s radio frequency converter products infringed on a patent held by Comtech EF Data Corp. The complaint seeks an injunction and unspecified monetary damages. The Company submitted its answer to the complaint on May 30, 2006. The Company believes Comtech EF Data Corp.’s claims are without merit and that it has substantial factual and legal defenses to the claims. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this lawsuit. However, there is no assurance that the Company will ultimately prevail in this proceeding. There have been no further developments during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 regarding this complaint.
