PART I

 

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

 

INTRODUCTION

 

REMEC, Inc. (“REMEC” or the “Company” or “our” or “we”) was incorporated in California in January 1983. Our principal executive offices are located at 3790 Via de la Valle, Del Mar, California 92014, and the telephone number for that location is (858) 259-4302. Our annual reports on Form 10-K and on Form 10-K/A, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and on Form 10-Q/A, current reports on Form 8-K, amendments to those reports and other Securities and Exchange Commission, or “SEC,” filings are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. In addition, the public may read and copy materials filed by REMEC with the SEC at the SEC’s public reference room located at 450 Fifth St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549. Our common stock trades on the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange under the symbol “REMC.OB”.

 

Liquidation, Winding Up and Dissolution

 

On July 21, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the liquidation and dissolution of REMEC, Inc. pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”), intended to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities. The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares approved the Plan of Dissolution at our August 31, 2005 special shareholder meeting, effective on September 3, 2005. The Company completed the sale of its Wireless Systems business on September 2, 2005, which was the last operating business unit of the Company. The key features of the Plan of Dissolution include (1) filing a certificate of dissolution for REMEC, Inc. and the remaining REMEC businesses with their respective jurisdictions of formation or incorporation; (2) ceasing conducting normal business operations, except as may be required to wind up our business affairs; (3) attempting to convert all of our remaining assets into cash or cash equivalents in an orderly fashion; (4) paying or adequately providing for payment for all of our known obligations and liabilities; and (5) distributing pro rata, in one or more liquidating distributions, all of our remaining assets to our shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

REMEC, Inc. will continue in existence until its final dissolution, which is currently expected to occur, subject to settlement of outstanding litigation and the payment of liabilities, during fiscal year 2007.

 

In connection with the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution and the anticipated liquidation of the Company, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective September 3, 2005, whereby assets are valued at their estimated net realizable cash values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts. Uncertainties as to the precise net value of our non-cash assets, and the ultimate amount of our liabilities make it impracticable to predict the aggregate net value that may ultimately be distributable to shareholders. Claims, liabilities and future expenses for operations, although currently declining in the aggregate, will continue to be incurred with execution of the Plan of Dissolution. These costs will reduce the amount of net assets available for ultimate distribution to shareholders. Although we do not believe that a precise estimate of those expenses can currently be made, we believe that available cash and amounts received from liquidation of non-cash assets will be adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, and to make cash distributions to shareholders. If available cash and amounts received from liquidation of non-cash assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, estimated future distributions of cash to our shareholders may not be possible.

 

On October 10, 2005, we provided a delisting notice to the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq) and voluntarily requested that the Company common stock be de-listed from the Nasdaq as of October 13, 2005, the last trading day being October 12, 2005. Since we were de-listed from Nasdaq and closed our stock records on October 13, 2005, our shares have continued to trade on the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange. From time to time, trading volume in our shares has been relatively high, and our shares have traded at prices in excess of the highest price we have estimated for potential

liquidation distributions. Traders in our shares are cautioned that our shares are highly speculative, and we cannot predict with any accuracy when, or if, additional liquidation distributions will be made.

 

Based on our projections of operating expenses and liquidation costs as of January 31, 2006, we estimate that the remaining amount of additional future liquidating distributions will range from $1.10 to $1.80 per common share. The actual amount available for distribution, if any, could be substantially less if we discover additional liabilities or claims or incur unexpected or greater than expected expenses. Although our Board of Directors has not established a firm timetable for the liquidating distributions, the Board of Directors intends to, subject to contingencies inherent in winding up our business, make such distributions as promptly as practicable and periodically as we convert our remaining assets to cash and pay our remaining liabilities and obligations subject to law.

 

Our Plan of Dissolution gives us the power to retain a third party liquidator or trust without further approval by our shareholders at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We may determine that the continued liquidation of REMEC may be more efficiently handled by retaining a third party liquidator or trust to manage the liquidation process. In particular, we may determine to do so at such time as our outstanding litigation and other significant creditor claims have been resolved. We cannot predict when or if these matters will be resolved, or when or if we will engage a third party liquidator or trust.

 

Segment Information

 

Financial information regarding our business segments may be found in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated herein by reference, and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

 

Prior to the Plan of Dissolution, REMEC’s business unit structure included two segments;

 

Wireless Systems Segment

 

The Wireless Systems segment developed and manufactured RF power amplifiers, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers, outdoor radio units, and manufacturing services used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over mobile wireless communication networks. These product lines have similar characteristics regarding (a) competitive pricing pressures, (b) life-cycle cost fluctuations, (c) number of competitors, (d) product differentiation, and (e) size of market opportunity.

 

Defense & Space Segment

 

The Defense & Space segment provided a broad spectrum of RF, microwave and guidance products for systems integrated by prime contractors in military and space applications.

 

Company History and Fiscal 2006 Developments

 

REMEC formerly designed and manufactured high frequency subsystems used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over wireless communications networks in the defense and commercial sectors. Our products were designed to improve the capacity, efficiency, quality and reliability of wireless communications infrastructure equipment. We also developed and manufactured sophisticated wireless communications equipment used in the defense industry, including communications equipment integrated into electronic systems for tactical aircraft, ships, ground systems, satellites, missile systems and smart weapons. We manufactured products that operated at the full range of frequencies used in wireless communications transmission, including radio frequencies, or “RF,” microwave frequencies and millimeter wave frequencies.

 

During fiscal year 2005, we engaged the services of financial advisors to evaluate strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value, which included exploring the disposition of some or all of our business units. During fiscal year 2006, the Company completed the sale and disposition of all operating REMEC business units. Actions to date for fiscal year 2006 are detailed below.

Table of Contents

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our Defense & Space group to Chelton Microwave for $256 million cash after certain post-closing adjustments and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction required shareholder approval, which was obtained May 18, 2005 and the sale closed on May 20, 2005. In conjunction with the sale, the Company amended its existing Articles of Incorporation to reclassify our common stock so that a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of Defense & Space were distributed to our shareholders. Each outstanding share of common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock and one (1) share of redeemable common. In May 2005, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the proposed merger sale of the Defense & Space group. Effective May 20, 2005, each share of the Company’s existing common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of the Company’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share.

 

In March 2005, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell selected assets and liabilities of our Wireless Systems business, including certain RF conditioning products, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers and RF power amplifiers, as well as its manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, China and the Philippines, to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (“Powerwave”) for 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock and $40 million in cash (less a $15.0 million escrow holdback), subject to certain post-closing adjustments (the “Wireless Transaction”). The transaction was subject to approval by REMEC and Powerwave shareholders, which was obtained on August 31, 2005. On September 2, 2005, we sold the Wireless Systems business assets and liabilities to Powerwave, in a transaction valued at $147 million and received all consideration including the 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock. The sale of the Wireless Systems business assets resulted in the Company divesting the majority of its remaining operating assets and liabilities.

 

On August 2, 2005, we filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash distributions and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. In September 2005, 10 million shares of Powerwave stock were issued to the shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005. On October 4, 2005, a cash distribution was made to shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005 at a rate of $1.35 per share. Subsequent cash distributions are pending REMEC’s Board of Directors review of the Company’s remaining obligations. The Company continues to believe that the total cash distribution will be within the range previously provided. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

 

On July 1, 2005, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities constituting a substantial portion of the Electronic Manufacturing Services business (“EMS” Transaction) to Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC and Samjor Family Limited Partnership for approximately $19 million in cash, subject to certain post closing adjustments. The sale closed simultaneously with the execution of the agreement.

 

On August 26, 2005, we completed the sale of the Outdoor Unit/Transceiver (“ODU”) business to Wireless Holdings International, Inc. (“Wireless Holdings”), for approximately $15 million in cash (less a $1.0 million escrow holdback), and the assumption by Wireless Holdings of certain liabilities. The sale was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 26, 2005.

 

As such, the operations, assets and liabilities associated with these divestitures are reported as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Table of Contents

On August 31, 2005, the shareholders also approved the Plan of Dissolution, intended to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets. As a result of this, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for the periods subsequent to September 2, 2005 (the close of the Wireless Transaction) from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis. The key features of the liquidation plan include (1) filing a certificate of dissolution for REMEC, Inc. and the remaining REMEC businesses with their respective States of Incorporation; (2) ceasing conducting normal business operations, except as may be required to wind up our business affairs; (3) attempting to convert all of our remaining assets into cash or cash equivalents in an orderly fashion; (4) paying or attempting to adequately provide payment for all of our known obligations and liabilities; and (5) distributing pro rata, in one or more liquidating distributions all of our remaining assets to our shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

Employees

 

As of January 31, 2006, we employed six full-time employees.

 

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to other information in this Form 10-K, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating us and our liquidation and dissolution because such factors may have a significant impact on the execution of our Plan of Dissolution and the timing and amount of liquidating distributions, if any, to our shareholders. As a result of the risk factors set forth below and elsewhere in this Form 10-K, and the risks discussed in our other Securities and Exchange Commission filings, actual results could differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements.

 

We cannot assure you of the exact amount or timing of any future distribution to our shareholders under the Plan of Dissolution.

 

The liquidation and dissolution process is subject to numerous uncertainties and may not result in any remaining capital for future distribution to our shareholders. The precise nature, amount and timing of any future distribution to our shareholders will depend on and could be delayed by, among other things, sales of our non-cash assets, claim settlements with creditors, resolution of outstanding litigation matters, and unexpected or greater than expected expenses. Furthermore, we cannot provide any assurances that we will actually make additional distributions. The estimates we have provided are based on currently available information, and actual payments, if any, could be substantially less than the range we have estimated. Any amounts to be distributed to our shareholders may be less than the price or prices at which our common stock has recently traded or may trade in the future.

 

Our common stock is continuing to trade even though we are in the process of liquidation and liquidating distributions, if any, may be below any trading price.

 

On October 13, 2005, we voluntarily de-listed our common stock and closed our transfer books. Our common stock was traded on the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol “REMC.” Since the de-listing, our common stock has been trading in the Over the Counter Market’s “Bulletin Board” under the symbol “REMC.OB”. It has been trading under “due-bill” contractual obligations between the seller and purchaser of the stock, who negotiate and rely on themselves with respect to the allocation of shareholder proceeds arising from ownership of the shares. No assignments or transfers of our common stock were recorded or will be recorded after October 12, 2005. Trading in our stock is highly speculative and the market for our stock is highly illiquid. The only value associated with our shares is the right to receive further distributions as part of the liquidation process. Because of the difficulty in estimating the amount and timing of the liquidating distributions, and due to the other risk factors discussed herein, our common stock may be subject to significant volatility and may trade above the amount of any liquidating distribution that is made.

Table of Contents

We may not be able to settle all of our obligations to creditors and resolve all of our outstanding litigation.

 

If we do not settle all of our obligations to creditors and resolve all of our outstanding litigation, we may be prevented from completing our Plan of Dissolution. Our obligations to creditors include, among other things, long-term contractual obligations to certain customers, including certain product warranties, and contractual obligations to certain of our vendors. The Company’s commitments and contingencies include claims and litigation arising out of our previous ordinary course of business. As part of the wind down process, we will attempt to settle our obligations with our creditors and resolve all of the outstanding litigation. Our inability to reach settlement with our creditors and resolve outstanding litigation could delay or even prevent us from completing the Plan of Dissolution. Amounts required to settle our obligations to creditors and resolve any outstanding litigation will reduce the amount of remaining capital available for future distribution to shareholders.

 

Some of our customers have filed or may file for breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties with regard to products sold by the Company.

 

Our products consist of and incorporate numerous component parts designed and manufactured by certain REMEC subsidiaries. We cannot assure you that these products and/or parts are free of defects or errors. Given the complex nature of our products and our dependence on a large number of highly intricate component parts, our products may contain defects or errors not detectable during our quality assurance and testing procedures. Any such defects or errors could result in legal claims against us.

 

We will continue to incur claims, liabilities and expenses that will reduce the amount available for distribution out of the liquidation to shareholders.

 

Claims, liabilities and expenses from operations, such as operating costs, directors’ and officers’ insurance, payroll and local taxes, legal, accounting and consulting fees and miscellaneous office expenses, will continue to be incurred as we wind down. These expenses will reduce the amount of assets available for future distribution out of the liquidation to shareholders. If available cash and amounts received on the sale of non-cash assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, expenses and claims, we may not be able to distribute meaningful cash out of the liquidation, or any cash at all, to our shareholders.

 

We may be subject to final examinations by taxing authorities across various jurisdictions which may impact the amount of taxes that we pay and the ultimate distributions to our shareholders

 

In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company accrues charges for probable exposures. At January 31, 2006, the Company believes it has appropriately accrued for probable exposures. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of these accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.

 

Our reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities. Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, our reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities. The impact of this final determination on our estimated tax obligations could increase or decrease amounts of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, perhaps significantly.

 

Distribution of cash out of the liquidation, if any, to our shareholders could be delayed.

 

Although our Board of Directors has not established a firm timetable for distributions to our shareholders out of the liquidation, the Board of Directors intends, subject to contingencies inherent in winding down our

Table of Contents

business, to make such distributions as promptly as practicable as creditor and litigant claims are paid or settled. However, we are currently unable to predict the precise timing of any such distributions. The timing of such distributions will depend on and could be delayed by, among other things, the timing of sales of our non-cash assets, claim settlements with creditors and the settlement of any outstanding litigation matters. Additionally, a creditor could seek an injunction against the making of such distributions to our shareholders on the grounds that the amount to be distributed was needed to provide for the payment of our liabilities and expenses. Any action of this type could delay or substantially diminish the amount available for such distribution to our shareholders.

 

If we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities, each shareholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors of his or her pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such shareholder.

 

In the event we fail to create an adequate contingency reserve for payment of our expenses and liabilities, each shareholder could be held liable for payment to our creditors of such shareholder’s pro rata share of amounts owed to creditors in excess of the contingency reserve, up to the amount actually distributed to such shareholder.

 

Although the liability of any shareholder is limited to the amounts previously received by such shareholder from us (and from any liquidating trust or trusts) in the dissolution, this means that a shareholder could be required to return all distributions previously made to such shareholder and receive nothing from us under the Plan of Dissolution. Moreover, in the event a shareholder has paid taxes on amounts previously received, a repayment of all or a portion of such amount could result in a shareholder incurring a net tax cost if the shareholder’s repayment of an amount previously distributed does not cause a commensurate reduction in taxes payable. While we will endeavor to make adequate reserves for all known and contingent liabilities, there is no guarantee that the reserves established by us will be adequate to cover all such expenses and liabilities.

 

We will continue to incur the expenses of complying with public company reporting requirements.

 

We have an obligation to continue to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, referred to as the “Exchange Act,” even though compliance with such reporting requirements is economically burdensome until the Company is fully dissolved.

 

Our Board of Directors may at any time turn management of the liquidation of REMEC, Inc. over to a third party, and some or all of our directors may resign from our board at that time.

 

Our Board of Directors may at any time turn the management of the Company over to a third party to complete the liquidation of our remaining assets and distribute the available proceeds to our shareholders, and some or all of our directors may resign from our board at that time. If management is turned over to a third party and all of our directors resign from our board, the third party would have sole control over the liquidation process, including the sale or distribution of any remaining assets.

ITEM 2.    PROPERTIES

 

Our principal executive offices are located at 3790 Via de la Valle, Del Mar, California 92014, under a lease that expires in September 2011.

 

Effective December 5, 2005, we entered into a sub-lease agreement with Rancho Santa Fe Development, LLC for approximately 6,500 square feet of space at our headquarters facility expiring in September 2011.

 

On February 10, 2006 (Fiscal Year 2007), we entered into an agreement to terminate our lease agreement with Lloyd H. Wells, Trustee of the Lloyd Wells Gift Trust for our Poway, CA facility located at 14020 Stowe Drive effective May 31, 2006. The lease agreement covered approximately 80,878 square feet of facilities and expired in June 2011. Of the approximately 80,878 square feet of facilities, approximately 68,000 square feet of facilities is currently sub-let under two separate subleases, one to Wireless U.S. LLC, expiring in June 2011, and another to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. expiring April 30, 2006. On February 13, 2006 (Fiscal Year 2007) we entered into an agreement to terminate the sub-lease for the Poway facility with Wireless U.S. LLC effective May 31, 2006.

 

We are working to terminate the remaining facility leases not released with the sale transactions of our business units. Lease termination penalties may be assessed for early lease settlement based on original agreements. As of January 31, 2006 the estimated net leases settlements on the remaining facility obligations are $5.2 million. The Company anticipates all remaining leases will be settled through early lease termination settlements or sub-let contracts within less than 12 months.

 

As of January 31, 2006, we had approximately 163,986 square feet of remaining facility lease space obligations, net of sub-leased space of approximately 157,584 square feet (including the Poway lease to be terminated effective May 31, 2006) the remaining facility space to sub-let or terminated totals 6,402 square feet which is the remaining space of our executive offices located in Del Mar, California.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Litigation

 

The Company’s commitments and contingencies include the following claims and litigation.

 

Securities Class Action

 

On September 29, 2004, three class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain former officers (the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging violations of federal securities laws between September 8, 2003 and September 8, 2004 (the “Class Period”). On January 18, 2005, the law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP (“Milberg Weiss”) was appointed Lead Counsel and its client was appointed Lead Plaintiff.

 

On March 10, 2005, Milberg Weiss filed a Consolidated and Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”). The Complaint asserted, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding the Company’s financial condition and performance, operations, earnings and business prospects. The Complaint sought unspecified damages and legal expenses. On April 19, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on August 17, 2005, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Second Amended Complaint on or about September 16, 2005. On October 28, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Second Amended Complaint, which was granted by the Court on February 14, 2006, with leave to amend. On March 23, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, which is under review by the Company. REMEC believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

 

Cardinal Litigation

 

On November 16, 2004, a civil complaint was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Cardinal Health 301, Inc. (formerly known as Pyxis Corporation) (“Cardinal”) against Tyco Electronics Corporation, Thomas & Betts Corporation and the Company alleging breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties with regard to certain products sold by the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business unit to Cardinal that incorporated allegedly defective components from Tyco and Thomas & Betts (the “Cardinal Complaint”).

 

On March 29, 2005, after the Cardinal Complaint was successfully challenged by REMEC, Cardinal filed an amended complaint seeking $7.0 million in damages plus legal expenses. On April 7, 2005, the Company filed its answer to the amended Cardinal Complaint, denying Cardinal’s claims and asserting a number of defenses. Cardinal has increased its damages claim in the litigation to $16.5 million. The trial date has been continued to May 8, 2006. REMEC believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

 

Wage and Hour Class Action

 

On November 28, 2005, Peter Zanni, a former employee of the Company, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company, alleging that the Company mischaracterized employees engaged in certain purchasing functions as exempt and failed to provide meal and rest periods as required by California law. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages. The Company filed its answer to the Complaint on December 29, 2005, denying the allegations in the Complaint. Discovery has commenced and is continuing. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

 

3G Infrastructure Services Arbitration

 

On January 31, 2006, 3G Infrastructure Services, AB (“3GIS”) filed a Request for Arbitration with the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, naming REMEC UK Ltd as the Respondent. The Request for Arbitration claims that REMEC UK Ltd is liable for alleged defects in Tower Mounted Amplifiers

Table of Contents

(“TMAs”) sold to 3GIS pursuant to a Product Purchase Agreement entered into in February 2002. 3GIS is claiming that REMEC UK Ltd is liable for the cost of replacing all TMAs sold, which amount exceeds 85,000,000 SEK (Swedish Kroner), or approximately $11.0 million. On February 17, 2006, REMEC UK Ltd filed its response, denying all liability, and intends to vigorously defend the arbitration.

 

Vodafone Sverige AB Claim

 

On February 7, 2006, Vodafone Sverige AB (“Vodafone”) notified the Company through its counsel that it intended to file a Request for Arbitration with the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, naming REMEC Europe Ltd as the Respondent. The draft Request for Arbitration claims that REMEC Europe Ltd is liable for alleged defects in Tower Mounted Amplifiers (“TMAs”) sold to Vodafone pursuant to a Framework Agreement for the Supply of UMTS TMA entered into in July 2002. Vodafone is claiming that REMEC Europe Ltd is liable for the cost of replacing all TMAs sold, which amount exceeds 60,000,000 SEK (Swedish Kroner), or approximately $8.0 million. By letter dated March 30, 2006, Vodafone further stated that it intended to assert a claim for the contractual liability directly against REMEC, Inc. The Company has denied any and all liability, and intends to vigorously defend any asserted claims.

 

Other than the lawsuits described above, neither REMEC nor any of its subsidiaries is presently subject to any material litigation, nor to REMEC’s knowledge, is such litigation threatened against REMEC or its subsidiaries, other than routine actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, all of which collectively are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of REMEC.

 

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

 

No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2006.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR REMEC’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

 

Our common stock has been traded on the Nasdaq National Market since February 1, 1996 under the symbol “REMC.” On October 10, 2005, we provided a delisting notice to the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq) and voluntarily requested that the Company common stock be de-listed from Nasdaq as of October 13, 2005, the last trading day being October 12, 2005. Since we were de-listed from Nasdaq, October 13, 2005, our shares have continued to trade on the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange under the symbol “REMC.OB”.

 

On March 27, 2006, the number of shareholders of record of REMEC common stock was 464 and the closing sale price of REMEC common stock was $1.32 per share. The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing sale prices of our common stock as reported on the Nasdaq and the NASD OTCBB for the quarterly periods indicated.

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the proposed merger sale of REMEC Defense & Space group. Pursuant to the reclassification, which was approved by the shareholders on May 18, 2005, effective May 20, 2005, each share of its existing common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of REMEC’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share. The reclassification and redemption resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of outstanding shares and thus is reflected retroactively in our per share calculations for all periods presented.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, 10 million shares of Powerwave stock were issued to the shareholders’ of record on September 13, 2005 of REMEC stock. On October 4, 2005, a cash distribution was made to shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005 at a rate of $1.35 per share. Based on our projections of operating expenses and liquidation costs as of January 31, 2006, we estimate that the remaining amount of additional future liquidating distributions will range from $1.10 to $1.80 per common share. The actual amount available for distribution, if any, could be substantially less if we discover additional liabilities or claims or incur unexpected or greater than expected expenses. Although our Board of Directors has not

established a firm timetable for the liquidating distributions, the Board of Directors intends to, subject to contingencies inherent in winding up our business, make such distributions as promptly as practicable and periodically as we convert our remaining assets to cash subject to law.

 

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

 

We made no unregistered sales of our securities during the year ended January 31, 2006.

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

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements represent our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about REMEC. These forward-looking statements include estimates of the net assets of the Company in liquidation, statements about the amount and timing of the payment of additional liquidating distributions and statements about the Company’s operating costs through final dissolution, including the additional wind up costs, which will vary with the length of time it operates. The cautionary statements regarding estimates of net assets in liquidation set forth in Item 1A to the accompanying consolidated financial statements that accompany this report are incorporated herein by reference. The forward-looking statements in this report are subject to a number of other significant risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected in those statements will be realized or achieved. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, possible contingent liabilities and post-closing indemnification and other obligations arising from the sale of the Company’s remaining assets; the risk that federal, state or local taxing authorities will audit the tax returns filed by the Company resulting in additional taxes being assessed against the Company; the risk that income, sales, use and other tax returns filed by the Company prior to the divestiture of its businesses units might be audited by federal, state or local taxing authorities resulting in additional taxes being assessed against the Company; the risk that the Company may not be able to realize its current estimate of the net value of its assets; the risk that the Company may have underestimated the settlement expense of its obligations and liabilities, including without limitation, accrued compensation and tax liabilities; risks associated with the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, including without limitation, settlement of the Company’s litigation, liabilities and obligations, costs including professional fees, incurred in connection with carrying out the Plan of Dissolution, discharge of any outstanding creditor claims, and the winding up and dissolution of the Company.

 

OVERVIEW AND SIGNIFICANT RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

In March 2005, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell selected assets and liabilities of our Wireless Systems business, including certain RF conditioning products, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers and RF power amplifiers, as well as its manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, China and the Philippines, to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (“Powerwave”) for 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock and $40 million in cash (less a $15.0 million escrow holdback), subject to certain post-closing adjustments (the “Wireless Transaction”). The transaction was subject to approval by REMEC and Powerwave shareholders, which was obtained on August 31, 2005.

 

On May 20, 2005, we completed the sale of the Defense & Space group to Chelton Microwave for $256 million cash after certain post-closing adjustments and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction required shareholder approval, which was obtained May 18, 2005 and the sale closed on May 20, 2005. In conjunction with the sale, the Company amended its existing Articles of Incorporation to reclassify our common stock so that a substantial portion of the proceeds from the sale of Defense & Space were distributed to our shareholders. Each outstanding share of common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock and one (1) share of redeemable common. In May 2005, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the proposed merger sale of the Defense & Space group. Effective May 20, 2005, each share of the Company’s existing common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of the Company’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share.

Table of Contents

On July 1, 2005, we completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities constituting a substantial portion of the Electronic Manufacturing Services business (“EMS” Transaction) to Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC and Samjor Family Limited Partnership for approximately $19 million in cash, subject to certain post closing adjustments.

 

On August 2, 2005, we filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash distributions and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. In September 2005, 10 million shares of Powerwave stock were issued to the shareholders’ of record on September 13, 2005 of REMEC stock. On October 4, 2005, a cash distribution was made to shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005 at a rate of $1.35 per share. Subsequent cash distributions are pending REMEC’s Board of Directors review of the Company’s remaining obligations. The Company continues to believe that the total of all cash distributions to shareholders will be within the range previously provided. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

 

On August 26, 2005, we completed the sale of the Outdoor Unit/Transceiver (“ODU”) business to Wireless Holdings International, Inc. (“Wireless Holdings”), for approximately $15 million in cash (less $1.0 million escrow holdback), and the assumption by Wireless Holdings of certain liabilities. The sale was made pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 26, 2005.

 

On August 31, 2005, the shareholders also approved the Plan of Dissolution, intended to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and businesses effective September 3, 2005. As a result, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for the periods subsequent to September 2, 2005 from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis. The key features of the Plan of Dissolution include (1) filing a certificate of dissolution for REMEC, Inc. and the remaining REMEC businesses with their respective States of Incorporation; (2) ceasing conducting normal business operations, except as may be required to wind up our business affairs; (3) attempting to convert all of our remaining assets into cash or cash equivalents in an orderly fashion; (4) paying or attempting to adequately provide payment for all of our known obligations and liabilities; and (5) distributing pro rata, in one or more liquidating distributions all of our remaining assets to our shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

On September 2, 2005, we sold the Wireless Systems business assets and liabilities to Powerwave, in a transaction valued at $147 million and received all consideration including the 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock. The sale of the Wireless Systems business assets resulted in the Company divesting the majority of its remaining operating assets and liabilities.

 

On September 3, 2005, we adopted the liquidation basis of accounting pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution approved by our shareholders on August 31, 2005.

 

At the close of business on October 12, 2005, our common stock was de-listed from the Nasdaq National Market. Since we were de-listed from the Nasdaq National Market on October 12, 2005, our shares have continued to trade in the Over the Counter Market’s “Bulletin Board”. Traders in our shares are cautioned that our shares are highly speculative, and we cannot predict with any accuracy when, or if, additional liquidation distributions will be made.

 

We are in the process of finalizing the disposition of our remaining business assets and will continue in existence until its final dissolution, which is currently expected to occur, subject to settlement of outstanding litigation and the payment of liabilities, during fiscal year 2007. During this period, we will not continue our business as a going concern.

Table of Contents

Under the Plan of Dissolution, we will liquidate our assets and make liquidating distributions to shareholders. We have not established a firm timetable for liquidating distributions to shareholders, but we intend, subject to contingencies inherent in winding up our business, to make such liquidating distributions as promptly as practicable and periodically as we convert our remaining assets to cash.

 

Prior to the decision to dissolve REMEC we designed and manufactured microwave and millimeter wave subsystems used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over wireless communications networks. We sold our wireless systems products primarily to OEMs, which in turn integrated our products into wireless infrastructure equipment solutions sold to network service providers. In addition, we also sold certain niche products directly to network service providers. We manufactured our products at our own plants in Heredia, Costa Rica; Laguna, Philippines, and Shanghai, China.

 

Since the Company is in liquidation without continuing operations, the need to present future quarterly Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income Statements as well as a Statement of Cash Flows is eliminated.

 

LIQUIDATION BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the period September 3, 2005 to January 31, 2006 were prepared on the liquidation basis of accounting. Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates will be periodically reviewed and adjusted. Uncertainties as to the precise net value of our non-cash assets and the ultimate amount of our liabilities make it impracticable to predict the aggregate net value that may ultimately be distributable to shareholders. Claims, liabilities and future expenses for operations, although currently declining in the aggregate, will continue to be incurred with execution of the plan. These costs will reduce the amount of net assets available for ultimate distribution to shareholders. Although we do not believe that a precise estimate of those expenses can currently be made, we believe that available cash and amounts received from sales of non-cash assets will be adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, and to make cash distributions to shareholders. If available cash and amounts received from sales of non-cash assets are not adequate to provide for our obligations, liabilities, operating costs and claims, estimated future distributions of cash to our shareholders will be reduced.

 

The valuation of assets at their net realizable value and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amounts necessarily requires many estimates and assumptions. In addition, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with carrying out the liquidation of the Company’s existing operations. The valuations presented in the accompanying Statement of Net Assets in Liquidation represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the net realizable values of assets and costs associated with carrying out the dissolution and liquidation plan based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein and could be greater or lesser than the amounts recorded. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the aggregate amount that will ultimately be distributable to shareholders and no assurance can be given that the amount to be received in liquidation will equal or exceed the net assets in liquidation per share in the accompanying Statement of Net assets in Liquidation or the price or prices at which the Common Stock has generally traded or is expected to trade in the future. The cautionary statements regarding estimates of net assets in liquidation set forth in the Forward-Looking Statements portion of this report are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Based on our projections of operating expenses and liquidation costs as of January 31, 2006, we estimate that the remaining amount of additional future liquidating distributions will range from $1.10 to $1.80 per common share. The actual amount available for distribution, if any, could be substantially less if we discover additional liabilities or claims or incur unexpected or greater than expected expenses. We are subject to litigation, the outcome of which is not presently known and which may increase our expenses and reduce cash available for distribution to shareholders. In addition, we may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities; thus

amounts presently estimated for taxes may vary from ultimate amounts, which may cause our final distributions to change perhaps significantly. Although our Board of Directors has not established a firm timetable for the liquidating distributions, the Board of Directors intends to, subject to contingencies inherent in winding up our business, make such distributions as promptly as practicable and periodically as we convert our remaining assets to cash and pay our remaining liabilities and obligations subject to law.

 

Our Plan of Dissolution gives us the power to retain a third party liquidator or trust without further approval by our shareholders at the discretion of our Board of Directors. We may determine that the continued liquidation of REMEC may be more efficiently handled by retaining a third party liquidator or trust to manage the liquidation process. In particular, we may determine to do so at such time as our outstanding litigation and other significant creditor claims have been resolved. We cannot predict when or if these matters will be resolved, or when or if we will engage a third party liquidator or trust.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AS A PERCENTAGE OF NET SALES

 

Our operating results are primarily comprised of income derived from our business units. Because of the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution and the sale of our business units, all operating activity from February 1, 2005 through September 2, 2005 and the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

 

The following table sets forth, as a percentage of total net sales, certain consolidated statements of income data for the periods indicated (Discontinued Operations, related Note 3):

Results of Operations

 

For the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 and Fiscal Years Ended January 31, 2005 and 2004

 

In connection with the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, we will not generate revenues from sales of our products in the future. We have ceased all sales and marketing efforts related to the sales of our products and have no supply of product available for sale, and, therefore, will not incur cost of revenues in the future. A comparison of the results of operations for the period fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2004 would not be meaningful.

The following discussion of results of operations for the period from February 1, 2005 through September 2, 2005 compared to the year ended January 31, 2005 does not contain comparable periods. A comparison of the results of operations for this period would be immaterial, however, such comparison is provided to present a discussion of general trends in the operating results of the Company.

 

Net Sales.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, net sales for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 decreased by $199.0 million, or 45.1%, to $242.2 million as compared to $441.2 million in the prior year. The decrease in sales was primarily attributable to the final sale of our remaining operating business units completed between May 20, 2005 and September 2, 2005. We changed our financial reporting to the liquidation basis accounting beginning September 3, 2005.

 

Gross Profit.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, gross profits decreased $26.4 million for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 versus the prior year. As a percentage of sales, gross margins increased to 17.1% in the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 from 15.4% as in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profits was primarily attributable to the reduction in operating expenses prior to our divestitures, and the final sale of our remaining operating business units completed between May 20, 2005 and September 2, 2005. We changed our financial reporting to the liquidation basis accounting beginning September 3, 2005.

 

Segment Information.    The following segment information should be read in conjunction with the financial results of each reporting segment as detailed in Note 3 and Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Results within each of our business segments were as follows:

 

Wireless Systems.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, net sales decreased by $115.2 million, or 35.5%, to $209.2 million in the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, compared to the year ended January 31, 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to the sale of the Wireless business operations in fiscal 2006, with the final business unit divestment in the third quarter of fiscal 2006. Additional product lines were divested at various periods of the fiscal year resulting in incomparable periods. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased to 15.1% for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 as compared to 11.6% in fiscal 2005. The increase in the gross profit percent as compared to the prior period was a result of approximately $3.6 million of charges for excess inventory recorded in fiscal 2005. Prior to the disposition of the Wireless segment the improved gross profits were attributed to higher sales volume, a favorable product mix, and other direct material and overhead cost reductions. A comparison of the results of operations for the period fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2004 would not be meaningful.

 

Defense & Space. Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, net sales decreased by $66.5 million, or 66.8%, to 33.0 million in the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 27.9% in fiscal 2005 to 30% for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005. The decrease in net sales was primarily attributable to the sale of the Defense and Space group in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and the sale of our Nanowave Technologies Inc. business unit in fiscal 2005. The increase in the gross profit percent prior to the disposition of the Defense & Space segment was also attributed to the divestiture of Nanowave Technologies, Inc. in the incomparable periods. A comparison of the results of operations for the period fiscal 2005 to fiscal 2004 would not be meaningful.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, decreased to $28.6 million for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 from $59.2 million as in the prior fiscal year. As compared to a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased to 11.9% for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 from 13.4% as in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to the final sale of our remaining business units as of September 2, 2005. Fiscal year ended 2006 expenses included, but not limited to legal fees, accounting fees, fees related to the preparation of the liquidation proxy and other Exchange Act filings and other costs associated with the dissolution of the Company.

Table of Contents

SG&A, decreased by 1.4% from $60.0 million in fiscal 2004 to $59.2 million in fiscal 2005. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased from 15.6% in fiscal 2004 to 13.4% in fiscal 2005. The decrease as a percentage of sales was primarily the result of cost reductions due to plant consolidations, improved efficiencies, and overall reduced spending.

 

Research and Development Expenses.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, research and development expenses, or R&D, decreased to $20.4 million for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 from $41.8 million as in the prior fiscal year. As percentage of net sales, R&D decreased to 8.4% for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 from 9.5% as in the prior fiscal year. The increase in R&D was primarily attributable to the final sale of our remaining operating business units as of September 2, 2005. We changed our financial reporting to the liquidation basis accounting beginning September 3, 2005.

 

Research and development expenses decreased from $50.0 million in fiscal 2004 to $41.8 million in fiscal 2005. Like in SG&A, the decreases were primarily the result of cost reductions due to improved efficiencies, and overall reduced spending. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased from 13.0% in fiscal 2004 to 9.5% in fiscal 2005 as a result of the increase in sales and the lower spending.

 

Goodwill impairment.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless reporting segment as a result of changes in management assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company determined that the goodwill carrying value of the Wireless Systems reporting segment exceeded its implied fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $62.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The remaining balance of $3.0 million was related to our Defense & Space business unit and was relieved in fiscal 2006 as part of the Company’s divestment and sale of the business unit.

 

Interest income and other, net.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, interest income and other, net was approximately $2.6 million of expense for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005. Interest income totaled $1.0 million; this was offset by other expense, net totaling $3.6 million, including $3.5 million foreign exchange loss and a $0.7 million loss on the disposal of assets.

 

Interest income and other, net decreased from $5.7 million of income in 2004 to $0.3 million of expense in fiscal 2005. Interest income was $0.4 million in fiscal 2004 as compared to $0.9 million of expense in fiscal 2005. The decrease in interest income in fiscal 2005 was primarily due to the combination of a reduction in the average amount of funds available for investment and factoring arrangements. Other income in fiscal 2005 decreased to $0.6 million from $5.2 million of income in fiscal 2004. Other income in 2004 included a $4.6 million gain associated with the sale of certain securities received during 2003 in a customer contract termination settlement and a $0.9 million gain associated with the sale of a facility located in the United Kingdom. Realized and unrealized foreign exchange was a gain of $0.7 million in fiscal 2004 as compared to a loss of $0.3 million is fiscal 2005.

 

Income Taxes.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, results for the period from February 1, 2005 through September 2, 2005 reflect an insignificant amount of income tax expense. The Company recorded income tax expense of $22.0 million in connection with the sale of its Defense & Space business to Chelton Microwave, $11.2 million in connection with the sale of its Wireless Systems business to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. and $4.1 million with the sale of its Electronic Manufacturing Services business (“EMS”) to Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC and Samjor Family Limited Partnership. No additional income tax expense was recorded on the sale of its Outdoor/Transceiver (“ODU”) business unit to Wireless Holdings International, Inc. Total income tax payable as of January 31, 2006, amount to $28.7 million. There was no tax benefit in fiscal 2005.

 

For the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 and fiscal year ended January 31, 2005, we were in a net operating loss position for current tax provision purposes in all jurisdictions in which we operated. Significant items affecting the calculation of the effective tax rate include establishment of valuation reserves,

Table of Contents

the large permanent differences arising partly from non-deductible goodwill and merger costs, and the effect of these permanent differences on state income taxes. In addition, we recognized foreign taxes at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. statutory rate. In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company accrues charges for probable exposures. At January 31, 2006, the Company believes it has appropriately accrued for probable exposures. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of these accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Our reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities. Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, our reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities. The impact of this final determination on our estimated tax obligations could increase or decrease amounts of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, perhaps significantly.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of January 31, 2006, net assets in liquidation totaled $47.6 million, consisting of $87.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $20.6 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash consist of approximately $16.1 million and interest held back in escrow pending the closing of the sale of ODU and Wireless Systems, and $4.5 million of restricted cash held for security on letters of credit. Net assets consist of $6.2 million of receivables and other current assets, $1.6 million of other long-term assets offset by $68.4 million of estimated total liabilities to be incurred during liquidation, consisting of $17.8 million of estimated operating costs, $5.2 million of estimated lease settlement costs, $16.7 million of estimated litigation costs and $28.7 million taxes payable. We expect to use our capital resources to execute and complete our Plan of Dissolution, settle existing claims against the Company, including existing litigation and other current liabilities and accrued expenses, and to make liquidating distributions to shareholders. Capital resources available for liquidating distributions to shareholders may vary if we incur greater than estimated operating expenses associated with executing the Plan of Dissolution, actual settlement costs for existing claims against the company vary from estimates, or if there are existing, but unknown claims made against us in the future. We intend to distribute net assets in liquidation to shareholders as liquidating distributions as promptly as practicable as we convert our remaining assets to cash. At January 31, 2006, our cash and cash equivalents were held primarily in money market funds. We expect to continue to hold our cash and cash equivalents primarily in money market funds while we execute the Plan of Dissolution.

 

During the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $12.3 million; investing activities provided $284.1 million primarily due to $403.1 million in net proceeds related to the sale and divestiture of our business units, offset by $102.3 million in the purchase of available-for-sale investments (net of sales), purchases of investments include $106.6 million of Powerwave, Inc. stock related to the Powerwave Transaction distribution of 10 million shares. In addition, investing activities included $6.6 million in restricted cash increases and capital expenditures of $10.2 million. Financing activities used $172.1 million, including; $177.0 million distributions to shareholders from net proceeds related to the sale of our Defense and Space business. Offset by $4.4 million in proceeds from the sale of common stock and $0.5 million from payments received on short-term notes receivable. Cash inflows during this period was principally the result of the Company’s proceeds from discontinued operations (net of depreciation and amortization) offset by $232.1 million gain from the sale and divestiture of our business units and increases in accounts receivable of $1.0 million off set by reductions of $10.7 million in other working capital including an increase of $9.9 million in accrued taxes payable related to the gain on the sale of the discontinued operations. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of $9.5 million depreciation and amortization, and $3.7 million in stock-based compensation offset by losses of $0.02 million related to foreign currency changes.

 

Distributions

 

On May 20, 2005, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the proposed merger sale of REMEC Defense & Space group. Pursuant to the

 

20


Table of Contents

reclassification, which was approved by the shareholders on May 18, 2005, effective May 20, 2005, each share of its existing common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of REMEC’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share. The reclassification and redemption resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of outstanding shares and thus is reflected retroactively in our per share calculations for all periods presented.

 

On August 2, 2005, we filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash distributions and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. In September 2005, 10 million shares of Powerwave stock were issued to the shareholders’ of record on September 13, 2005 of REMEC stock. On October 4, 2005, a cash distribution was made to shareholders of record of REMEC stock on September 13, 2005 at a rate of $1.35 per share or $39.2 million.

 

Subsequent cash distributions are pending REMEC’s Board of Directors review of the Company’s remaining obligations. The Company continues to believe that the total cash distribution, plus additional future distributions, will be within the range described in our proxy material. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

 

Based on our projections of operating expenses and liquidation costs as of January 31, 2006, we estimate that the amount of future liquidating distributions will range from $1.10 to $1.80 per common share. The actual amount available for distribution, if any, could be substantially less if we discover additional liabilities or claims or incur unexpected or greater than expected expenses. Although our Board of Directors has not established a firm timetable for the liquidating distributions, the Board of Directors intends to, subject to contingencies inherent in winding up our business, make such distributions as promptly as practicable and periodically as we convert our remaining assets to cash and pay our remaining liabilities and obligations subject to law.

 

On October 10, 2005, we provided a delisting notice to the Nasdaq National Market (Nasdaq) and voluntarily requested that the Company common stock be de-listed from the Nasdaq as of October 13, 2005, the last trading day being October 12, 2005. Since we were de-listed from Nasdaq and closed our stock records on October 13, 2005, our shares have continued to trade on the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) exchange. From time to time, trading volume in our shares has been relatively high, and our shares have traded at prices in excess of the highest price we have estimated for potential liquidation distributions. Traders in our shares are cautioned that our shares are highly speculative, and we cannot predict with any accuracy when, or if, additional liquidation distributions will be made.

 

We may at some point determine that the continued liquidation of REMEC may be more efficiently handled by retaining a third party liquidator or trust to manage the liquidation process. In particular, we may determine to do so at such time as our outstanding litigation and other significant creditor claims have been resolved. We cannot predict when or if these matters will be resolved, or when or if we will engage a third party liquidator or trust. We continue to actively manage our cash and cash equivalent portfolio and control operating expenses.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of January 31, 2006, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have

 

21


Table of Contents

been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

 

Obligations and Commitments

 

Our contractual obligations and commitments as of January 31, 2006 are reported in the condensed consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation as accrued expenses and accounts payable or estimated costs to be incurred during liquidation. The remaining obligations and commitments of the Company include the facility operating leases. The Company is working to terminate the remaining facility leases. As of January 31, 2006 the accrual for the estimated net leases settlements on the remaining facility obligations is $5.2 million. The Company anticipates all remaining leases will be settled through early lease termination settlements or sublet contracts within less than 12 months.

 

SIGNIFICANT RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement (“SFAS No. 132-R”) expands employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88, or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123-R which replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25. As originally issued, SFAS No. 123 established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that pronouncement permitted entities to continue applying the intrinsic-value-based model of APB Opinion 25, provided that the financial statements disclosed the pro forma net income or loss based on the fair-value method. The Company is required to apply SFAS No. 123-R as of the first interim reporting period that begins after December 31, 2005 under a rule adopted by the SEC on April 14, 2005 that amends the compliance dates of SFAS No. 123-R.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” which replaces APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This pronouncement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle, and revises the requirements for accounting for and reporting a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. This pronouncement also requires that a change in the method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 retains many provisions of APB Opinion 20 without change, including those related to reporting a change in accounting estimate, a change in the reporting entity, and correction of an error. The pronouncement also carries forward the provisions of SFAS No. 3 which govern reporting accounting changes in interim financial statements. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Statement does not change the transition provisions of any existing accounting pronouncements, including those that were in a transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS No. 154.

 

In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 05-06, Determining the Amortization Period for Leasehold Improvements Purchased after Lease Inception or Acquired in a Business Combination (“EITF 05-06”). EITF 05-06 concludes that the amortization period for leasehold improvements acquired in a business combination and leasehold improvements that are in service significantly after and not contemplated at the beginning of the lease term should be amortized over the shorter of the useful

life of the assets or a term that includes required lease periods and renewals that are deemed to be reasonably assured at the date of inception. Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2006 this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2006, the FASB Staff Position (FSP) issued No. FAS 123(R)-4, Classification of Options and Similar Instruments Issued as Employee Compensation That Allow for Cash Settlement upon the Occurrence of a Contingent Event (FAS 123(R)-4) concludes that a cash settlement feature that can be exercised only upon the occurrence of a contingent event that is outside the employee’s control does not become a liability until it becomes probable that the event will occur. An option or similar instrument that is classified as equity, but subsequently becomes a liability because the contingent cash settlement event is probable of occurring, shall be accounted for similar to modification from an equity to liability award. To the extent that the liability exceeds the amount previously recognized in equity, the excess is recognized as compensation cost. The total recognized compensation cost for an award with a contingent cash settlement feature shall at least equal the fair value of the award at the grant date. The FSP is applicable only for options or similar instruments issued as part of employee compensation arrangements. The guidance in this FSP shall be applied upon initial adoption of Statement 123(R). Management believes the adoption of this pronouncement will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. As of January 31, 2006, this pronouncement had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 entitled “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of SFAS No. 133 (“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”) and SFAS No. 140 (“Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”). In this context, a hybrid financial instrument refers to certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 permits fair value re-measurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 also establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets in order to identify interests that are either freestanding derivatives or “hybrids” which contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. In addition, SFAS No. 155 clarifies which interest/principal strips are subject to SFAS No. 133, and provides that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative. When SFAS No. 155 is adopted, any difference between the total carrying amount of the components of a bifurcated hybrid financial instrument and the fair value of the combined “hybrid” must be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment of beginning deficit/retained earnings.

 

SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. Earlier adoption is permitted only as of the beginning of a fiscal year, provided that the entity has not yet issued any annual or interim financial statements for such year. Restatement of prior periods is prohibited.

 

ITEM 7A.    QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest Rate Risk.    On November 30, 2005, the Company cancelled its $30 million line of credit. The borrowing rate under this credit facility was based on prime plus 1% with prime being defined as the banks most recently announced per annum “prime rate.” As of fiscal year ended January 31, 2006 the Company has not had any borrowings under this credit facility and, therefore, no related exposure to interest rate movement. In connection with the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, certain letters of credit that were previously secured by our domestic trade receivables and inventory are now secured by cash of $4.5 million of which has been used under letter of credit arrangements and banking cash management products and no related exposure to interest rate movement.

 

Investments.    At January 31, 2006, our investment portfolio includes cash equivalent securities held in a money market with a recorded value of approximately $73.4 million. The Company considers all investments

 

23


Table of Contents

with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and might decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to their short-term nature interest rates would not materially affect their value.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations.    Prior to our Plan of Dissolution and the divestment of the Company’s business units we had operations in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. As a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows were affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Many of our reporting entities conducted a portion of their business in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. These transactions gave rise to receivables and payables that were denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. The value of those receivables and payables were subject to changes in exchange rates because they may become worth more or less than they were worth at the time we entered into the transaction due to changes in exchange rates. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses in the value of these receivables and payables are included in the determination of net income. Realized foreign currency transaction (losses) totaled $(4.2) million for the period February 1, 2005 through September 2, 2005, and $(0.1) and $1.0 million during fiscal 2005 and 2004, respectively. Unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) totaled $0.7 million for the period from February 1, 2005 through September 2, 2005 and $(0.2) million during fiscal 2005, respectively. These amounts are included in Interest income and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, there will be no future impact of unrealized gains and losses associated with foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the sale of our foreign entities.

 

To address increasing revenue growth denominated in foreign currencies and the related currency risks, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company established a formal documented program to utilize foreign currency contracts to both mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on existing foreign currency asset and liability balances as well as to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with selected anticipated foreign currency transactions anticipated within 12 months. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify, that are not designated for special accounting treatment, or that are not effective as hedges, are recognized currently in earnings. In connection with the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, there will be no future revenue generated by sales.

The response to this item is included as a separate section following Item 15 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

ITEM 9.    CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

 

On September 24, 2004, Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”) informed REMEC, Inc. that it was resigning as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective no later than the completion of its review of the Company’s interim financial information for the three and nine months ended October 29, 2004.

 

The reports of E&Y on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

The resignation of E&Y did not require a recommendation or the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”).

 

During the Company’s most recent two fiscal years and from January 31, 2004 through September 24, 2004, there were no disagreements with E&Y on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of E&Y, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report.

Table of Contents

During the Company’s most recent two fiscal years and from January 31, 2004 through September 24, 2004, there were no “reportable events” as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except for those internal control issues that E&Y considered to be reportable conditions under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and which were disclosed to the Audit Committee following the audits of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 31, 2004 (See Item 9A- Controls and Procedures).

 

The Company engaged Squar Milner Reehl Williamson LLP (“Squar Milner”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm effective December 6, 2004. The engagement was authorized and approved by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

During the Company’s most recent two fiscal years and from January 31, 2004 through December 6, 2004, the Company did not consult with Squar Milner regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a “reportable event” (as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K), or (iii) any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

 

ITEM 9A.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

(1)    Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on this evaluation, the President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

Our significant personnel reductions during 2005 have affected the overall control environment. However, management does not believe that these personnel reductions have had a significant impact on the effectiveness of the operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

(2)    Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006 has been audited by Squar, Milner, Reehl & Williamson LLP, Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. Their report which expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of and on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006 is included herein.

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

REMEC, Inc.

 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, that REMEC, Inc. maintained effective internal control over

 

25


Table of Contents

financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The management of REMEC, Inc. 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 the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows (going concern basis) of REMEC, Inc. for the period from February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, the consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation as of January 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period from September 3, 2005 to January 31, 2006 and our report dated April 6, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF SQUAR, MILNER, REEHL & WILLIAMSON, LLP,

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

REMEC, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of REMEC, Inc. (the “Company”), as of January 31, 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period from February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005. We have also audited the consolidated statement of net assets in liquidation as of January 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statement of changes in net assets in liquidation for the period September 3, 2005 to January 31, 2006. In addition, our audits also included the fiscal 2006 (through September 2, 2005) and fiscal 2005 financial information present in the financial statement schedule listed in Item 15(2). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements 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 audits 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.

 

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the shareholders of REMEC, Inc. approved a plan of liquidation on August 31, 2005, and the Company commenced liquidation shortly thereafter. As a result, the Company has changed its basis of accounting for the period subsequent to September 2, 2005, from the going-concern basis to a liquidation basis.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of REMEC, Inc. as of January 31, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended and for the period from February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, its net assets in liquidation as of January 31, 2006, and the changes in its net assets in liquidation for the period from September 3, 2005 to January 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applied on the bases described in the preceding paragraph. Also, in our opinion, the aforementioned financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as whole, presents fairly in all material respects the fiscal 2006 (through September 2, 2005) and fiscal 2005 information set forth therein.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

REMEC, Inc.

 

We have audited the consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for year ended January 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for year ended January 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.    DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

On July 21, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the liquidation and dissolution of REMEC, Inc. (“REMEC” or the “Company”) pursuant to a Plan of Complete Liquidation and Dissolution (the “Plan of Dissolution”), intended to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities. The holders of a majority of our outstanding shares approved the Plan of Dissolution effective September 3, 2005, at our August 31, 2005 special shareholder meeting. The Company completed the sale of its Wireless Systems business on September 2, 2005, which was the last operating business unit of the Company. The key features of the Plan of Dissolution include (1) filing a certificate of dissolution for REMEC, Inc. and the remaining REMEC businesses with their respective jurisdictions of formation or incorporation; (2) ceasing conducting normal business operations, except as may be required to wind up our business affairs; (3) attempting to convert all of our remaining assets into cash or cash equivalents in an orderly fashion; (4) paying or adequately providing for payment for all of our known obligations and liabilities; and (5) distributing pro rata, in one or more liquidating distributions, all of our remaining assets to our shareholders as of the applicable record date.

 

REMEC will continue in existence until its final dissolution, which is currently expected to occur, subject to settlement of outstanding litigation and the payment of liabilities, during fiscal year 2007. During this period, we will not operate our business as a going concern. Our Plan of Dissolution gives us the power to sell any and all of our assets without further approval by our shareholders and provides that liquidating distributions be made to our shareholders as determined by our Board of Directors.

 

REMEC was incorporated in the State of California in January 1983. REMEC formerly was a designer and manufacturer of high frequency subsystems used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over commercial wireless communications networks in the defense and commercial sectors. REMEC’s products were designed to improve the capacity, efficiency, quality and reliability of commercial wireless communications infrastructure equipment and operate at the full range of frequencies currently used in wireless communications transmissions including at radio (“RF”), microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. REMEC also developed and manufactured wireless communications equipment used in the defense industry, including communications equipment integrated into tactical aircraft, satellites, missile systems and smart weapons.

 

2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 and for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 were prepared on the going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As a result of the shareholders’ approval of the Plan of Dissolution and the imminent nature of liquidation, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting for all periods subsequent to September 2, 2005. This basis of accounting is considered appropriate when, among other things, liquidation of a company is probable and the net realizable values of assets are reasonably determinable. Under this basis of accounting, assets are valued at their estimated net realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts.

 

During fiscal year 2005, the Company engaged financial advisors to evaluate alternative strategies to provide the best value to shareholders, including the disposal of all or a portion of our business units. As of January 31, 2006 all REMEC operating business units have been sold.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our Defense & Space group. Our shareholders approved the sale of our Defense & Space business on May 18, 2005 and the sale closed on May 20, 2005. Defense & Space is reported as Discontinued Operations and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all periods presented.

 

During fiscal year 2006, our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) business was sold and closed on July 1, 2005, and is reported as Discontinued Operations and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all reporting periods. Our ODU product line was sold and closed on August 26, 2005, and is reported as Discontinued Operations and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all periods presented Our Wireless Systems business (“Wireless”) was sold and closed on September 2, 2005, and is reported as Discontinued Operations and assets and liabilities of discontinued operations in all periods presented.

 

The conversion from the going concern basis to the liquidation basis of accounting required management to make significant estimates and judgments. In order to record assets at estimated net realizable value and liabilities at estimated settlement amounts under the liquidation basis of accounting from a going concern, the Company recorded the following adjustments to record its assets and liabilities to fair value as of September 3, 2005, the date of adoption of the liquidation basis of accounting (in 000’s):

 

Adjust assets and liabilities to fair value:

Principles of Consolidation

 

Prior to the divestitures discussed above, the consolidated financial statements included the accounts of the Company and all majority-owned and one variable interest entity in which the Company was considered the primary beneficiary (see “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” section below). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions through September 2, 2005 have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, as amended (“Interpretation No. 46”), which addresses the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Under Interpretation No. 46, arrangements that are not controlled through voting or similar rights are accounted for as VIEs. An enterprise is required to consolidate a VIE if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Interpretation No. 46 applies immediately to arrangements created after January 31, 2003 and, with respect to arrangements created before February 1, 2003, the interpretation was applied to the Company

 

F-10

REMEC, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

as of February 1, 2004. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 has not materially affected the Company’s consolidated net income. Prior period information has not been restated to conform to the presentation in the current period.

 

Under Interpretation No. 46, a VIE is created when (i) the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or (ii) equity holders either (a) lack direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity through voting or similar rights, (b) are not obligated to absorb expected losses of the entity or (c) do not have the right to receive expected residual returns of the entity if they occur. If an entity is deemed to be a VIE, pursuant to Interpretation No. 46, an enterprise that absorbs a majority of the expected losses or residual returns of the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE.

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, based on the provisions of Interpretation No. 46, the Company concluded that an entity in the Philippines was a VIE in which the Company was the primary beneficiary, as the Company provided the financial support necessary for the entity to carry its normal operations. The entity was engaged in the ownership of land. Accordingly, the financial statements of the VIE have been consolidated with the Company as of January 31, 2005 as follows:

 

     $ 000’s

 

Total Assets

   $ 1,024  

Total Liabilities

     (967 )

Equity

     (57 )

 

The Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to this entity was approximately $1.0 million at January 31, 2005. The Philippines business unit was sold as part of the Wireless Transaction in fiscal 2006.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the discontinued operations presentation prior to September 2, 2005.

 

Use of Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make 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 and reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements using the liquidation basis of accounting requires us to make assumptions, judgments and estimates that can have a significant impact on our reported net assets in liquidation. We base our assumptions, judgments and estimates on the most recent information available and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. On a regular basis we evaluate our assumptions, judgments and estimates and make changes accordingly. We believe that the assumptions, judgments and estimates involved in the accounting for the estimated litigation settlement costs and estimated costs to be incurred during liquidation have the greatest potential impact on our consolidated financial statements, so we consider these estimates to be our critical accounting policies. We discuss below the critical accounting estimates associated with these policies.

 

F-11


Table of Contents

REMEC, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Estimated Costs to be Incurred During Liquidation

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for the remaining costs to be incurred during liquidation, including compensation and severance for the remaining employees, board fees, fees of professional service providers, worker’s compensation insurance and claims expense, costs associated with the divestment of our business units and miscellaneous other costs, partially offset by estimated future interest earnings, such costs were estimated at $17.8 million and taxes payable of $28.7 million, as of January 31, 2006. Our estimates are based on assumptions regarding our ability to settle outstanding obligations to creditors, and resolve outstanding litigation, claims and liabilities. If there are delays, or we are not successful, in achieving these objectives, actual costs incurred during liquidation may increase, reducing net assets available in liquidation. Our reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities. Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, our reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities. The impact of this final determination on our estimated tax obligations could increase or decrease amounts of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, perhaps significantly.

 

Estimated Litigation Costs

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for estimated litigation costs. Estimated litigation costs, which amounted to $16.7 million as of January 31, 2006, represent both estimated future legal fees to be incurred and amounts to be paid in settlement or by way of final judgment. Included in this amount is a $0.7 million self insured retention with one of our primary insurance carriers. Our continued defense of litigation may result in a lesser or greater amount than our current estimate, affecting net assets in liquidation. We are not aware of, and have not accrued for, any other outstanding litigation other than what is described in under our legal proceedings as of January 31, 2006.

 

Lease Settlement Costs

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for estimated lease settlement costs. Estimated lease settlement costs, which amounted to $5.2 million as of January 31, 2006, represent the settlement value on our remaining three facilities. The settlement of lease costs includes $3.6 million in lease terminations fees including estimated commissions and other miscellaneous settlement costs. The Company anticipates the settlement of all leases and sublet contracts within less than 12 months.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised of money market funds, U.S. government and other corporate debt securities. Cash and cash equivalents included investments held in a money market fund of $73.4 million at January 31, 2006 and there were no cash and cash equivalents held in investments at January 31, 2005. The Company evaluates the financial strength of institutions at which significant investments are made and believes the related credit risk is limited to an acceptable level.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities requires companies to record certain debt and equity security investments at market value. Investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. All of the Company’s short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale and were reported at fair value with any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its cash equivalents and short-term investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities, all of which are intended to be available for the

 

F-12


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Company’s current operations. The carrying amounts of these securities approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. As a result of the Company’s Plan of Dissolution, the Company is no longer purchasing new investments. All short-term investments have matured as of January 31, 2006.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, the Company recognized all derivatives, consisting of foreign currency forward contracts, as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets (going concern basis) and measured those instruments at fair value, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of those derivative instruments were recorded to earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the use of the derivative instrument and whether it qualifies for hedge accounting. For those instruments qualifying for hedge accounting, the Company formally documented all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company also assessed, both at the inception of the hedge and on an on-going basis, whether the derivatives that were used in hedging transactions were effective. Should it be determined that a derivative was not effective as a hedge, the Company discontinued the hedge accounting prospectively.

 

The Company discontinued the use of derivatives in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. At September 2, 2005, upon the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, there were no outstanding derivative contracts. In addition, subsequent to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, the Company did not enter into any derivatives. Consequently, at January 31, 2006, there were no outstanding derivative contracts.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, accounts receivable were principally from domestic and international customers in the telecommunications industry and prime contractors of U.S. government contracts. Credit was extended based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and generally collateral was not required. The Company performed periodic credit evaluations of its customers and maintained reserves for potential credit losses.

 

During the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, there were two customers in the Wireless segment that accounted for a total of 27% of the Company’s net sales. During fiscal 2005, two customers in the Wireless segment and one customer in the Defense & Space segment accounted for a total of 35% of the Company’s net sales. During fiscal 2004, one customer in the Company’s Wireless Systems segment and one customer in the Defense & Space segment accounted for a total of 28% of the Company’s net sales.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk also consist of cash balances maintained in the United States in excess of federal depository insurance limits. The accounts maintained by the Company at U.S. financial institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. The uninsured balance was $77.6 million and $33.2 million at January 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risks on cash.

 

Factoring Arrangement

 

The Company had a factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables were sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material workmanship,

 

F-13

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables were sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. Approximately 0% and 29% of accounts receivable were factored at January 31, 2006 and January 31, 2005, respectively. The Company had $8.1 million of advances from the factor outstanding at January 31, 2005 and no advances as of January 31, 2006. In compliance with SFAS No. 140 and the terms of the arrangement, proceeds are collected from the financial institution and the receivables are removed from the balance sheet.

 

In fiscal year 2005, the factoring arrangement limit was increased from $15 million to $25 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. In fiscal year 2006, the factoring arrangement limit was increased from $25 million to $35 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. In connection with the discontinuance of our operations and adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company cancelled this facility effective November 30, 2005. There were no factorings under this facility as of January 31, 2006.

 

Late in fiscal year 2005, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into a 6 million Euro factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables were sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material, workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables were sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. The foreign subsidiary was sold as part of the Wireless sale transaction. There were no factorings under this facility as of January 31, 2006.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of losses related to customer’s receivable balances, excluding amounts that are factored. In establishing the appropriate provisions for customer receivables balances, the Company makes assumptions with respect to their ability to be collected in the future. The Company’s assumptions are based upon individual assessment of a customer’s credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends, including the aging of receivables balances. An appropriate provision is made, which takes into account the severity of the likely loss on the outstanding receivable balance based on the Company’s experience in collecting these amounts. At January 31, 2005, accounts receivable totaled $60.5 million, net of reserves for bad debt of $1.2 million and is reported in assets of discontinued operations (Note 3). As a result of the Company’s divestitures, discontinuation of operations and adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company will no longer generate receivable balances from sales revenue. As of January 31, 2006 accounts receivable totaled $2.4 million, net of reserves for bad debt of $0.8 million and consisted of receivables which were not part of the Defense & Space, EMS, ODU or Wireless divestitures.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories were stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. The Company provided allowances based on excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand sales forecasts. The allowance was measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market based upon assumptions about future demand and charged to the provision for inventory, which was a component of our cost of sales. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory was established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances did not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis, in compliance with SAB Topic 5.BB. At January 31, 2005, inventories totaled $70.4 and are reported in assets of discontinued operations (Note 3). As a result of the Company’s divestitures, discontinuation of operations and adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company no longer has inventory.

Long-Lived Assets

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years for network equipment, PCs and software, five to eight years for machinery and equipment and up to 30 years for facilities and facility related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the lease period.

 

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 on February 1, 2002 and has performed its impairment test on an on-going basis, but at least annually.

 

Intangible assets (other than goodwill) in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at January 31, 2005 are primarily comprised of trademarks and acquired technology recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisitions. Intangible assets with finite lives (other than goodwill) are evaluated for impairment quarterly using undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets as required by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash as of January 31, 2006 was $20.6 million. Restricted cash balance includes $1.0 million held in escrow for a period of nine months related to the sale of our ODU business and $15.1 million (including interest) related to the sale of our Wireless business held in escrow for a period of nine months after the closing date to satisfy REMEC’s potential indemnification obligations. The remaining balance of $4.5 million represents a certificate of deposit placed to cover certain letters of credit and banking products previously secured by our receivables and inventory.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of fair value of financial instruments, whether or not recognized on the face of the balance sheet, for which it is practical to estimate that value. SFAS No. 107 defines fair value as the quoted market prices for those instruments that are actively traded in financial markets. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using present value or other valuation techniques. The fair value estimates are made at the end of each year based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument, such as estimates of timing and amount of expected future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time our entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider that tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

The estimated fair values for financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 are determined at the balance sheet dates based on relevant market information. These estimates involve uncertainties and cannot be determined with precision. For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, and letters of credit, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their maturities.

Warranty Obligations

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, the Company provided for the estimated costs of product warranties in the period sales were recognized. The Company’s warranty obligation was affected by historical product shipment levels, product performance and material and labor costs incurred in correcting product performance problems. Had product performance, material usage or labor repair costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would have been required. As a result of the Company’s divestures, discontinuation of operations and adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, warranty reserves are no longer required and have been eliminated.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense is based on reported income before income taxes. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, deferred income taxes reflect the effect of temporary differences between asset and liability amounts that are recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts that are recognized for income tax purposes. These deferred taxes are measured by applying currently enacted tax laws. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Income Tax Contingencies

 

In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company accrues charges for probable exposures. At January 31, 2006, the Company believes it has appropriately accrued for probable exposures. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of these accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain.

 

Our reported results may be subject to final examination by taxing authorities. Because many transactions are subject to varying interpretations of the applicable federal, state or foreign tax laws, our reported tax liabilities and taxes may be subject to change at a later date upon final determination by the taxing authorities. The impact of this final determination on our estimated tax obligations could increase or decrease amounts of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, perhaps significantly.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

Prior to the sale of the Company’s business units and adoption of the Plan of Dissolution in fiscal 2006, the Company translated the financial statements of its Finnish, U.K., and South Korean subsidiaries in accordance with SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation. The functional currency for all other foreign subsidiaries was the U.S. dollar or in currencies tied to the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency balance sheet accounts were translated into U.S. dollars at a rate of exchange in effect at fiscal year end. Income and expenses were translated at the average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The related translation adjustments were made directly to a separate component of comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the local currency were recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Subsequent changes in exchange rates result in transaction gains and losses, which are reflected in income.

 

F-16

REMEC, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Realized and unrealized foreign currency transaction (losses) gains totaled $(3.5) million, $(0.3) million, and $0.7 million during the period from February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 and fiscal years ended 2005 and 2004 respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company recognized revenue pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements. Accordingly, revenue was recognized when all four of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement existed; (ii) delivery of the products and/or services had occurred; (iii) the selling price was fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectibility was reasonably assured.

 

In accordance with SAB No. 104, revenues from product sales were recognized upon shipment of product and transfer of title to customers; revenues associated with the performance of non-recurring engineering and development contracts were recognized when earned under the terms of the related contract; and revenues for cost-reimbursement contracts were recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bear to estimated costs. Most of the Company’s non-recurring engineering projects were within the Company’s Defense & Space segment. The general terms of these agreements contain milestone provisions and/or the delivery of a prototype product. The Company was entitled to bill the customer for the specified amount and recognize revenue upon the completion of the related milestone (to customer satisfaction or by fulfillment of specifications) or delivery and the transfer of title of the prototype.

 

Shipping Costs

 

Prior to the approval of our Plan of Dissolution, the Company followed EITF 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Shipping costs related to shipments between production facilities and shipments from production facilities to distribution facilities were reflected in costs of sales.

 

Exit and Disposal Activities

 

The Company accounts for expenses related to non-discretionary restructuring activities (including workforce reductions) in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit and Disposal Activities. GAAP prohibits the recognition of an exit-activity liability until (a) certain criteria (which demonstrate that it is reasonably probable that a present obligation to others has been incurred) are met, and (b) the fair value of such liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company applies the transition rules of SFAS No. 146 to account for exit activities that meet the criteria of EITF Issue No. 94-3.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company accounted for the results of operations of a component of an entity that had been disposed or that met all of the “held for sale” criteria, as discontinued operations, if the component’s operations and cash flows had been (or were to be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company did not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The “held for sale” classification required having the appropriate approvals by our management, Board of Directors and shareholders, as applicable, and meeting other criteria. When all of these criteria were met, the component was then classified as “held for sale” and its operations reported as discontinued operations (See Note 3).

 

Computation of Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, we reported net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average shares outstanding for each period presented. Diluted income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted

Dilutive securities may include options, warrants, and preferred stock as if converted and restricted stock subject to vesting. Potentially dilutive securities (which include options) totaled 4,722,000 for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005.

 

Potentially dilutive securities (which include options) totaling 1,023,000 and 650,000 for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the merger sale of REMEC Defense & Space group. Pursuant to the reclassification, which was approved by the shareholders on May 18, 2005, effective May 20, 2005, each share of its existing common stock was converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of REMEC’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share. The reclassification and redemption resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of outstanding shares and thus is reflected retroactively in our per share calculations for all periods presented.

 

The net loss per share calculation presented above for prior years is based on the weighted average shares outstanding adjusted as if the reclassification completed on May 20, 2005 had occurred at the beginning of FY 2004 and all common shares outstanding were exchanged at a ratio of 1 to 0.446 share:

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, which (i) amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation to add two new transitional approaches when changing from the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation to the SFAS No. 123 fair value method and (ii) amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting to call for disclosure of SFAS No. 123 pro forma information on a quarterly basis. The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 148 and will continue to follow APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the stock options granted to its employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense is recognized only for those options whose price is less than fair market value at the measurement date.

 

Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan shares under the fair value method of that statement. The pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per common share have been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options and rights under the employee stock purchase plan have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair market value of its employee stock options or the rights granted under the employee stock purchase plan.

 

The following is a summary of the pro forma effects on reported net loss and loss per share for the years indicated as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value of the options at their grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options and the shares granted under the employee stock purchase plan is amortized to expense over their respective vesting or option periods.

3.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company accounted for the results of operations of a component of an entity that had been disposed or that met all of the “held for sale” criteria, as discontinued operations, if the component’s operations and cash flows had been (or were to be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company did not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The “held for sale” classification required having the appropriate approvals by our management, Board of Directors and shareholders, as applicable, and meeting other criteria. When all of these criteria were met, the component was then classified as “held for sale” and its operations reported as discontinued operations.

 

During fiscal year 2005, the management of REMEC engaged the services of financial advisors to evaluate alternative strategies to provide the best value to shareholders, including the disposal of all or a portion of the Company’s business units. The Company has sold all remaining operating businesses in fiscal year ended 2006. Whereas REMEC, Inc. will continue in existence until its final dissolution, which is currently expected to occur during fiscal year end 2007 and will not continue business as a going concern during such period.

 

The following transactions were completed during fiscal year 2006.

Nanowave Technologies Inc.

 

In August 2004, we sold our majority interest in REMEC Nanowave Technologies Inc., a subsidiary located in Toronto, Canada, to Euromill Equihold Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation for $3.0 million cash and a note with a principal balance of $2.5 million. Repayment of the note, which bears interest at 6% per annum compounded annually and matures August 18, 2008 is uncertain due to Nanowave’s negative cash flows. Accordingly, the note has been fully reserved for. Nanowave was not a strategic fit for our Defense & Space business segment.

Components product line

 

In October 2004, we sold our Components product line to Spectrum Control, Inc. for $8.0 million cash. In addition, there is an earnout based on a percentage of net revenue in excess of certain targets for the fourth calendar quarter of 2004 (cash received and included below) and the first calendar quarter of 2005. The Components product line was not a core business of our Wireless Systems business segment.

China Network Optimization product line

 

In December 2004, we sold the China Network Optimization product line for $3.7 million cash, the return of certain securities, and the assumption of certain liabilities. The Company’s accelerated penetration of the China network optimization market never materialized. The high upfront investment in working capital made us re-prioritize where we strategically invested in growth. It was determined that it was more strategic for the Wireless Systems business segment to sell the components and sub-systems into the marketplace rather than this service and installation business.

4.    PRIOR ACQUISITIONS

 

Paradigm Wireless Systems, Inc. (“Paradigm”)

 

In November 2003, the Company acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the obligations of Paradigm, a private domestic merchant supplier of RF power amplifiers to the telecommunications infrastructure industry, in a stock-for-stock merger. The addition of Paradigm expanded the Company’s amplifier product portfolio. The factors contributing to the purchase price that resulted in $17.3 million of goodwill was the acquired OEM customer base in the growing market of China, significant penetration in the South Korean market, and a large U.S. OEM amplifier account. Paradigm stockholders received 1,892,107 shares of REMEC common stock. The board of directors of both companies unanimously approved the acquisition, which was valued at $22.1 million (based upon the average closing price of the Company’s stock for the period of two days before, the day of, and two days after the date the terms of the purchase agreement were agreed to, or $11.49 per share). The Company accounted for this transaction as a purchase in accordance with FAS No. 141, Business Combinations. The results of Paradigm are included in the Company’s Wireless Systems segment and have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition forward.

The $17.3 million of goodwill was assigned to the Wireless Systems segment, none of which was expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The $126,000 of other intangibles was primarily related to customer base and backlog and will be amortized over its useful life.

 

Himark Telecom Group Limited (“Himark”)

 

In May 2003, the Company acquired the business of the Himark group, a group of companies in the private sales distribution and value-added telecommunications sector which are headquartered in Beijing, People’s Republic of China. The Company paid consideration of approximately $12.1 million, including 1,391,650 shares of REMEC common stock with a value of $7.0 million (based on the average closing price of the Company’s stock for the period of two days before and two days after the date the terms of the purchase agreement were agreed to, or $5.03 per share), as well as cash, a note payable and Class A Preferred Stock of REMEC International, Inc. The Class A Preferred Stock of REMEC International, Inc. was convertible in certain circumstances into securities granting a 10% ownership interest of REMEC’s combined Chinese operations. Prior to the acquisition, the Himark group jointly provided sales and distribution services for REMEC since its entry into the China telecom market. Management believed that the addition of Himark would accelerate the Company’s penetration of the China market and broaden its product offering by selling network optimization services. These were the primary factors contributing to the $9.9 million recognition of goodwill. The Company accounted for this transaction as a purchase in accordance with SFAS No. 141. The results of Himark were included in the Company’s Wireless Systems segment and were included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition forward. The China Network Optimization piece of this business was disposed in December 2004 and reported as Discontinued Operations (see Note 2).

5.    FINANCIAL STATEMENT DETAILS

 

Short-Term Investments

 

SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, requires companies to record certain debt and equity security investments at market value. Investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with any material unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its cash equivalents and short-term investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities, all of which are intended to be available for the Company’s current operations. As of January 31, 2005, the Company had short-term investments of $4.5 million. Unrealized gains on short-term investments are included in other comprehensive income. Gross realized and unrealized gains and losses on sales of short-term investments were not significant in either fiscal 2006 or fiscal 2005.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS No. 133 also requires that changes in the derivative’s fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met and that a company must formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. The Company had not engaged in hedging or derivative transactions until January 2004. Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, the Company used derivatives to manage foreign currency risk and not for trading purposes. The Company discontinued the use of derivatives in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

 

Foreign Currency Cash Flow Hedges

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, we transacted sales denominated in Euros with two of our largest customers and entered into hedging contracts to offset the potential exposure related to foreign currency fluctuations. During fiscal year 2004, we entered into forward contracts which did not qualify for special hedge accounting, therefore the forward contracts were marked to market and related gains and losses were recorded in income. The net realized losses related to these contracts were $0.3 million in fiscal 2004, which is included in other income, net. All of these contracts were settled as of January 31, 2004.

 

To address increasing revenue growth denominated in foreign currencies and the related currency risks, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company established a formal documented program to utilize foreign currency contracts to both mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on existing foreign currency asset and liability balances as well as to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with selected anticipated foreign currency transactions anticipated within 12 months. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify, that are not designated for special accounting treatment, or that are not effective as hedges, are recognized currently in earnings. The Company discontinued the use of derivatives in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

 

Cash Flow Hedging.    In fiscal year 2004, the Company began designating and documenting foreign exchange forward contracts related to forecasted sales as SFAS No. 133 cash flow hedges. The Company calculates hedge effectiveness, excluding time value, at least quarterly. The change in the fair value of the derivative on a spot to spot basis is compared to the spot to spot change in the anticipated transaction, with the effective portion recorded in other comprehensive income until it is reclassified to revenue together with the anticipated transaction upon revenue recognition. In the event it becomes probable that additional hedged anticipated transactions will not occur, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will immediately be reclassified from OCI (other comprehensive income) to other income.

REMEC, INC.

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

In fiscal 2005, the Company recorded a gain of $0.3 million in other income associated with forecasted transactions that were no longer expected to occur as originally documented, and a charge of $0.9 million in other income associated with time value that has been excluded from effectiveness testing. For the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005, the Company recorded a gain of $0.01 in other income with forecasted transactions that were not longer expected to occur and $0.0 in other income associated with time value that would have been excluded from effectiveness testing. At January 31, 2005, all outstanding cash flow hedging derivatives had a maturity of less than 6 months.

 

The following table summarizes impact of cash flow hedges on OCI (pre-tax) in fiscal 2005:

The Company discontinued the use of derivatives in the second quarter of fiscal year 2006. At September 2, 2005, there were no outstanding contracts. In addition, subsequent to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, we did not enter into any derivatives. Consequently, at January 31, 2006, there was no outstanding cash flow hedging derivatives.

 

Balance Sheet Hedging.    Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company managed the foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities using foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of less than 12 months. These contracts were not designated under SFAS No. 133 for special accounting treatment and changes in their fair value were recognized currently in other income and substantially offset the re-measurement gains and losses associated with the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

In addition, subsequent to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, we did not enter into any derivatives. At January 31, 2006, there were no remaining outstanding net foreign exchange forward contracts.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories sold subsequent to January 31, 2005 are classified as held for sale and are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Going Concern Basis) are considered discontinued operations (Note 3).

The Company had a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory of $15.1 million as of January 31, 2005. The Company also had additional reserves for anticipated contract losses of $5.7 million as of January 31, 2005.

 

Property, plant and Equipment

 

As a result of the Company’s liquidation and dissolution the majority of the assets were sold with the business units in fiscal year ended 2006. The Company’s remaining property and equipment will no longer be required for ongoing operating activities. As a result, the Company recorded a $3.5 million asset adjustment during the third quarter of fiscal year ended 2006 in order to state the assets at their fair value less estimated selling costs. As of January 31, 2006, the Company’s property, plant and equipment, including fully amortized leasehold improvements have been fully written down to a zero fair value.

 

Net property, plant and equipment consisted of the following (in 000’s):

Depreciation expense for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 was $9.1 million and for the years ended January 31, 2005 and 2004 were $19.6 million and $18.9 million, respectively.

 

Assets subject to capital leases were $4.2 million at January 31, 2005.

 

Property, plant and equipment sold subsequent to January 31, 2005 are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Going Concern Basis) as assets of discontinued operations (Note 3).

 

Goodwill, Intangible and Other Assets

 

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations closed after June 30, 2001 and also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets arising from

business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and, instead, requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives. Additionally, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill included in the carrying value of equity method investments no longer be amortized. The Company has implemented SFAS No. 141 and SFAS No. 142 and began applying the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets effective February 1, 2002.

 

Prior to the adoption of the Plan of Dissolution, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless reporting segment as a result of changes in management assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company determined that the goodwill carrying value of the Wireless reporting segment exceeded its implied fair value and recorded an impairment charge of $62.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The remaining balance of $3.0 million was related to our Defense & Space business unit and was written down in fiscal 2006 as a result of the Company’s divestment and sale of the business unit.

 

The following table summarizes the activity related to net goodwill reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Going Concern Basis) are considered discontinued operations (Note 3) (in 000’s):

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142 Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units and determining the fair value of each reporting unit. Significant judgments required to estimate the fair value of reporting units include estimating future cash flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill impairment for each reporting unit.

 

The majority of our acquisitions that resulted in goodwill being recorded fall within our Wireless Systems segment. The majority of goodwill and other long-lived assets within the Wireless Systems segment were attributable to the ADC Mersum OY, Himark and Paradigm acquisitions. Nanowave Technologies, Inc., which was merged into the Defense & Space segment in connection with the reorganization/reevaluation of the reporting units in 2003, is the only purchased business of this segment. Management determined in accordance with SFAS No. 142 that our segments meet the criteria for aggregation and therefore performed its analysis at the reporting segment level.

 

During the fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2004, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless Systems reporting segment as a result of changes in management’s assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company tested the goodwill of the reporting segment for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The performance of the test required a two-step process. The first step of the test involved comparing the fair value of the affected reporting unit with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

the reporting segment’s aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of the Wireless Systems reporting segment as of July 2004 using the income approach methodology of valuation. The assumptions used in this impairment test included sales growth rates ranging from 4%-8%, gross profit margins ranging from 14%-24%, and a discount rate of 18.6%. The estimates used reflected the Company’s inability to gain market segment share or attain the level of profitability previously anticipated. As a result of this comparison, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Wireless Systems business unit exceeded its implied fair value as of July 2004. The Company had to issue financial statements before completing the second step of the impairment test that allows management to measure the actual amount of the impairment loss. Using the guidance included in SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies the Company determined that an impairment loss was probable and that this impairment loss could be reasonably estimated. The Company’s management made its best estimate of the goodwill impairment loss for the Wireless Systems reporting segment to be $62.4 million, the total amount of goodwill for that segment. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company recorded an estimated charge to write down the value of its goodwill in the fiscal quarter ended July 30, 2004. During the Company’s fiscal quarter ending October 29, 2004, the Company completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test, which required the Company to compare the implied fair value of the reporting segment goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Based on this assessment, there was no adjustment required to the loss recorded in the second fiscal quarter.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

Acquired intangible assets sold subsequent to January 31, 2005 are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheet (Going Concern Basis) are considered discontinued operations (Note 3).

 

The remaining balance of $2.6 million was sold in fiscal 2006 as a result of the Company’s divestment in its business units.

 

Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization at January 31, 2005 were as follows (in 000’s):

 

    

Gross

Amortization expense related to other intangible assets totaled $0.4 million for the period February 1, 2005 to September 2, 2005 and $0.7 million and $1.1 million fiscal years 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

At January 31, 2005, intangible assets other than goodwill were evaluated for impairment using undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets as required by SFAS No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. No impairment loss was recognized during fiscal 2005 related to these assets.

Other Investments

 

During fiscal 2001, the Company invested $13.6 million in the common stock of Allgon AB as part of a planned acquisition. The carrying value of this investment was adjusted to its fair market value of $9.9 million at January 31, 2001 in accordance with SFAS No. 115 and the unrealized loss of $3.7 million was included in accumulated comprehensive income in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity in fiscal 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company recognized a $9.4 million charge in the consolidated statement of operations to write-down this investment to its then current fair market value based on the quoted market price. The subsequent $2.4 million increase in the value of this investment during fiscal 2002 was included in other comprehensive income. During fiscal 2003, the Company reflected the reversal of this unrealized gain in other comprehensive income and also recognized a $1.8 million charge in the consolidated statement of operations to write-down this investment to its current fair market value based on the quoted market price. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company sold those securities for $2.4 million.

 

During fiscal 2003, the Company received a common stock warrant from a customer in a contract settlement agreement. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company exercised the warrant and sold the underlying securities for $5.3 million. The resulting gain of $4.5 million is reflected in income (loss) from discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

6.    SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Stock Option Plans

 

The Company’s 1995 and 2001 Equity Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Plans”) provide for the grant of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock awards, stock purchase rights or performance shares to employees of the Company. The Company also maintains the 1996 Non-employee Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Directors Plan”) that provides for the grant of non-qualified stock options to non-employee directors of REMEC. The original terms of the Plans and the Directors Plan contain acceleration provisions in the event of a change in control or a sale of substantially all assets of the Company. In fiscal year 2006, as a result of the liquidating distribution, the exercise prices and the quantities of all stock option grants and restricted stock unit grants were required in accordance with APB 25.

 

In fiscal year 2006, as a result of the sale and disposition of all operating REMEC business units, the vesting period acceleration provisions provided by the Plans and the Directors Plan were triggered. These provisions provided for the immediate vesting of all unvested options or restricted stock units effective with the change in control or sale of substantially all assets of the Company. As a result, the vesting period of 2,540,000 stock options and 756,000 restricted stock units were accelerated and fully vested on May 20, 2005 in conjunction with the sale of the Defense and Space group. The vesting period of 182,000 stock options and 38,000 restricted stock units were accelerated and fully vested on July 1, 2005 in conjunction with the EMS transaction. Additionally, the vesting period of 5,423,000 stock options and 2,184,000 restricted stock units were accelerated and fully vested on September 2, 2005 in conjunction with the Wireless Transaction and the ODU sale.

 

The Company’s shareholders have approved the issuance of a total of 82,156,000 shares of common stock under the Plans. The exercise price of the incentive stock options must at least equal the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of non-qualified options may be no less than 85% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the Plans generally vest over four years and generally expire nine years from the date of grant.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Additionally, a total of 2,756,000 shares of common stock have been reserved under the Directors Plan for non-qualified stock option grants to non-employee directors of REMEC. Under the Directors Plan, option grants are automatically made on an annual basis at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Options granted under the Directors Plan generally vest over three years and generally expire nine years from the date of grant.

 

During fiscal 2005, the Company tendered an offer to REMEC employees to exchange certain outstanding options to purchase shares of REMEC common stock with exercise prices of $2.45 per share or greater, as adjusted to reflect the impact of the stock option re-pricing arising from the Company liquidating distributions, for Restricted Stock Units that represented the right to receive shares of common stock of REMEC. The exchange ratio was 4 options for 1 restricted stock unit.

 

During fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively, the Company issued 80,000 and 902,000 shares of restricted stock units to a number of salaried exempt employees. In addition, during fiscal 2005, the Company issued 1,029,000 shares of restricted stock units to officers of the Company. There have been no stock option or restricted stock unit grants after September 2, 2005.

 

The Company recognized compensation cost based on the fair value of the restricted stock units (equal to the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock on the exchange date) and amortized such expense over the respective vesting periods. Compensation expenses recognized in the fiscal year 2006 totaled $1.1 million and $0.3 million in fiscal year 2005.

At January 31, 2006, options to purchase 33,036,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for future grant.

 

Stock Purchase Plan

 

As a result of the Company’s wind down and dissolution plan, the Company has discontinued its Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective September 2, 2005. The Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan provided for the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to eligible employees. During fiscal 2004, REMEC’s shareholders approved an increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to a total of 5,450,000 shares of common stock. The price of the common shares purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common shares on the first or last day of the offering period, whichever was lower.

 

Deferred Savings Plan

 

As a result of the Company’s Plan of Dissolution, the Company has discontinued its Deferred Savings Plan for its employees effective December 31, 2005. Prior to December 31, 2005 the Company had a Deferred Savings Plan for its employees, which allowed participants to make contributions by salary reduction pursuant to section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matched contributions up to $180 per quarter, per employee. Employees vested immediately in their contributions and Company contributions vest over a two-year period. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries maintained separate defined contribution retirement savings plans for substantially all of their employees. Participants contributed a portion of their annual salaries subject to statutory annual limitations. The Company matched a percentage of the employee’s contribution as specified in the plan agreements.

Health Benefit Plans

 

Prior to the Plan of Dissolution, the Company had agreements with certain former executives to provide health care benefits following their employment. Their medical benefits were provided under a Health Benefit Plan (the “Plan”), which was also available to all eligible employees. As a result of the Company’s Plan of Dissolution, the Company has discontinued its Plan effective December 31, 2005 with health care benefits to all employees and former employees ceasing as of that date.

 

The Company accounted for the post employment benefits under FAS 106, Employer’s Accounting for Post-retirement Benefits Other than Pensions, which requires the Company’s obligation for post-retirement benefits to be provided to or for an employee be fully accrued by the date that employee attains full eligibility for all of the benefits expected to be received by that employee.

 

As of January 31, 2006, the Company has accrued $0.3 million, which represents actual claims incurred through the discontinuance date and submitted to the Plan through January 31, 2006 plus an estimate for unsubmitted claims which management believes will be submitted thru December 31, 2006, in accordance with the Plan’s provisions.

 

7.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Bank Revolving Line of Credit Facility and Letter of Credit Facility

 

On July 29, 2005, the Company extended the term of its existing $30 million revolving working capital line of credit with its senior lender to January 31, 2006. In connection with the discontinuation of operations, the Company has cancelled this facility effective November 30, 2005. The borrowing rate under this credit facility was based on prime plus 1% with prime being defined as the banks most recently announced per annum “prime rate.” As of January 31, 2006, there was no borrowing outstanding under this credit facility and, therefore, no related exposure to interest movement.

 

In connection with the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, certain letters of credit that were previously secured by our domestic trade receivables and inventory are now secured by cash of $4.5 million of which has been used under letter of credit arrangements and banking cash management products.

 

Factoring Arrangements

 

In fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into a factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables were sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. The Company had $8.1 million of advances from the factor outstanding at January 31, 2005 and no advances as of January 31, 2006. In compliance with SFAS No. 140 and the terms of the arrangement, proceeds are collected from the financial institution and the receivables are removed from the balance sheet.

 

In fiscal year 2005, the factoring arrangement limit was increased from $15 million to $25 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. In fiscal year 2006, the factoring arrangement limit was increased from $25 million to $35 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. In connection with the discontinuation of operations, the Company has cancelled this facility effective November 30, 2005. There were no factorings under this facility as of January 31, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Late in fiscal year 2005, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into a 6 million Euro factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables are sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material, workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. The foreign subsidiary was sold as part of the Wireless Transaction. There were no factorings under this facility as of January 31, 2006.

 

Leases

 

Certain office and production facilities held by the Company and classified as operating leases were acquired by the buyers of our business units, releasing REMEC from future lease liability. The Company is working to terminate the remaining facility leases not released with the sale transactions of our business units. Lease termination penalties may be assessed for early lease settlement based on original agreements. As of January 31, 2006 the accrual for the estimated leases settlements on the remaining facility obligations is $5.2 million. The Company anticipates all remaining leases will be settled through early lease termination settlements or sub-let contracts within less than 12 months.

 

Capital Leases

 

In connection with the discontinuation of operations, leases for machinery and equipment under non-cancelable agreements classified as capital leases were acquired by the buyers of our business units releasing REMEC from the lease liability. As of January 31, 2006, there are no future capital lease obligations.

 

Warranty

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, warranty reserves were established for costs that were expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of a product or service for deficiencies under specific product or service warranty provisions. The warranty reserves were determined as a percentage of revenues based on the actual trend of historical charges incurred over various periods, excluding any significant or infrequent issues that are specifically identified and reserved.

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2006, we released the warranty reserve for our divested product lines with the sale of our remaining businesses; warranty reserves are no longer required and have been eliminated as the Company will not generate revenue in the future.

 

Estimated Costs to be Incurred During Liquidation

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for the remaining costs to be incurred during liquidation, including compensation and severance for the remaining employees, public company costs, fees of professional service providers, worker’s compensation insurance and claims expense, costs associated with the divestment of our sold business units and miscellaneous other operating costs, partially offset by estimated future interest earnings, such costs were estimated at $17.8 million and taxes payable of $28.7 million, as of January 31, 2006. Our estimates are based on assumptions regarding our ability to settle outstanding obligations to creditors, and resolve outstanding litigation, claims and liabilities. If there are delays, or we are not successful, in achieving these objectives, actual costs incurred during liquidation may increase, reducing net assets available in liquidation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Estimated Litigation Costs

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for estimated litigation costs. Estimated litigation costs, which amounted to $16.7 million as of January 31, 2006, represent both estimated future legal fees to be incurred and amounts to be paid in settlement or by way of final judgment. Included in this amount is a $0.7 million self insured retention with one of our primary insurance carriers. Our continued defense of litigation may result in a lesser or greater amount than our current estimate, affecting net assets in liquidation. We are not aware of, and have not accrued for, any other outstanding litigation against other than what is described in under our legal proceedings as of January 31, 2006.

 

Lease Settlement Costs

 

Under the liquidation basis of accounting, we accrue for estimated lease settlement costs. Estimated lease settlement costs, which amounted to $5.2 million as of January 31, 2006, represent the settlement value on our remaining three facilities. The settlement of lease costs includes $3.6 million in lease terminations fees including estimated commissions and other miscellaneous settlement costs. The Company anticipates the settlement of all leases and sublet contracts within less than 12 months.

 

Indemnifications and Guarantees

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Others, were adopted, which expands previously issued accounting guidance for certain guarantees. Indemnifications issued or modified as of January 31, 2006 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. A description of the Company’s indemnifications and guarantees as of January 31, 2006 is provided below. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made under these agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations other than certain guaranteed payments made in connection with the customer financing arrangements discussed below.

 

The Company designed developed and manufactured standard “off-the-shelf” products and may provide the customer with an indemnification against any liability arising from third-party claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement based upon the design or manufacturing of such products. The Company cannot determine the maximum amount of losses that it could incur under this type of indemnification because it often may not have enough information about the nature and scope of an infringement claim until it has been submitted to the Company and, to date, no claims have been made.

 

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with our officers and with each of our directors. These agreements require us, among other things, to indemnify such officer and director against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and settlements paid by such individual in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising out of such individual’s status or service as our director or officer (provided that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner the individual reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company) and to advance expenses incurred by such individual in connection with any proceeding against such individual with respect to which such individual may be entitled to indemnification by us.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company entered into certain indemnifications under the terms of its Asset Purchase Agreements with Wireless U.S., LLC and Powerwave Technologies, Inc. The Company is

unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement.

 

Litigation

 

The Company’s commitments and contingencies include the following claims and litigation.

 

Securities Class Action

 

On September 29, 2004, three class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and certain former officers (the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging violations of federal securities laws between September 8, 2003 and September 8, 2004 (the “Class Period”). On January 18, 2005, the law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP (“Milberg Weiss”) was appointed Lead Counsel and its client was appointed Lead Plaintiff.

 

On March 10, 2005, Milberg Weiss filed a Consolidated and Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”). The Complaint asserted, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding the Company’s financial condition and performance, operations, earnings and business prospects. The Complaint sought unspecified damages and legal expenses. On April 19, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint, which was granted on August 17, 2005, with leave to amend. Plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Second Amended Complaint on or about September 16, 2005. On October 28, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Second Amended Complaint, which was granted by the Court on February 14, 2006, with leave to amend. On March 23, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint, which is under review by the Company. REMEC believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend it.

 

Cardinal Litigation

 

On November 16, 2004, a civil complaint was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Cardinal Health 301, Inc. (formerly known as Pyxis Corporation) (“Cardinal”) against Tyco Electronics Corporation, Thomas & Betts Corporation and the Company alleging breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties with regard to certain products sold by the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business unit to Cardinal that incorporated allegedly defective components from Tyco and Thomas & Betts (the “Cardinal Complaint”).

 

On March 29, 2005, after the Cardinal Complaint was successfully challenged by REMEC, Cardinal filed an amended complaint seeking $7.0 million in damages plus legal expenses. On April 7, 2005, the Company filed its answer to the amended Cardinal Complaint, denying Cardinal’s claims and asserting a number of defenses. Cardinal has increased its damages claim in the litigation to $16.5 million. The trial date has been continued to May 8, 2006. REMEC believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

 

Wage and Hour Class Action

 

On November 28, 2005, Peter Zanni, a former employee of the Company, filed a class action lawsuit against the Company, alleging that the Company mischaracterized employees engaged in certain purchasing functions as exempt and failed to provide meal and rest periods as required by California law. The complaint seeks an unspecified amount of damages. The Company filed its answer to the Complaint on December 29, 2005, denying the allegations in the Complaint. Discovery has commenced and is continuing. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend this matter.

3G Infrastructure Services Arbitration

 

On January 31, 2006, 3G Infrastructure Services, AB (“3GIS”) filed a Request for Arbitration with the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, naming REMEC UK Ltd as the Respondent. The Request for Arbitration claims that REMEC UK Ltd is liable for alleged defects in Tower Mounted Amplifiers (“TMAs”) sold to 3GIS pursuant to a Product Purchase Agreement entered into in February 2002. 3GIS is claiming that REMEC UK Ltd is liable for the cost of replacing all TMAs sold, which amount exceeds 85,000,000 SEK (Swedish Kroner), or approximately $11.0 million. On February 17, 2006, REMEC UK Ltd filed its response, denying all liability, and intends to vigorously defend the arbitration.

 

Vodafone Sverige AB Claim

 

On February 7, 2006, Vodafone Sverige AB (“Vodafone”) notified the Company through its counsel that it intended to file a Request for Arbitration with the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, naming REMEC Europe Ltd as the Respondent. The draft Request for Arbitration claims that REMEC Europe Ltd is liable for alleged defects in Tower Mounted Amplifiers (“TMAs”) sold to Vodafone pursuant to a Framework Agreement for the Supply of UMTS TMA entered into in July 2002. Vodafone is claiming that REMEC Europe Ltd is liable for the cost of replacing all TMAs sold, which amount exceeds 60,000,000 SEK (Swedish Kroner), or approximately $8.0 million. By letter dated March 30, 2006, Vodafone further stated that it intended to assert a claim for the contractual liability directly against REMEC, Inc. The Company has denied any and all liability, and intends to vigorously defend any asserted claims.

 

Other than the lawsuits described above, neither REMEC nor any of its subsidiaries is presently subject to any material litigation, nor to REMEC’s knowledge, is such litigation threatened against REMEC or its subsidiaries, other than routine actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, all of which collectively are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of REMEC.

 

Environmental Matters

 

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to our properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

 

8.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

 

Prior to the adoption of our Plan of Dissolution, we reported comprehensive income in accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. This statement defines comprehensive income as the changes in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from shareholders’ transactions. Accordingly, comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss).

9.    IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER LONG-LIVED ASSETS IN PRIOR YEARS

 

In connection with its Fiscal 2004 restructuring plan, the Company undertook the sale of two of its facilities in Finland. Based on independent estimates of the current market value of these facilities at that time, the Company’s Wireless Systems segment recorded a charge of $1.0 million during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 to write down the carrying value of the facilities to their estimated fair market values. During fiscal 2003, the Company recorded an additional $0.7 million to write-down the leasehold improvements at abandoned facilities.

10.    RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

 

2004 Restructuring

 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company announced that as a result of continued operating losses, it was discontinuing production in Finland, eliminating a significant number of positions in its Finnish and U.S. workforce and disposing of other non-strategic assets and operations. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $2.7 million during the fourth quarter related to its fiscal 2004 restructuring plan. The restructuring charge included $2.1 million in employee severance and related costs for approximately 200 employees, all of who were identified as of January 31, 2004. The majority of these employees worked in the Company’s Wireless Systems segment and all have left the Company by the end of fiscal 2005. The restructuring charge also reflects anticipated losses of $0.6 million on the disposal of excess property and equipment in the Company’s Wireless Systems segment. The disposition of these items occurred during fiscal 2005.

There were no restructuring related activities during the period from February 1, 2005 to January 31, 2006.

 

2002 Restructuring

 

Prior to fiscal 2002, the Company expanded its product offerings and manufacturing capacity through a series of acquisitions and internal growth to address expanding market opportunities. As a result of the sharp decrease in demand from the telecommunications industry during fiscal 2002, the Company faced the need to reduce its cost structure. The Company initiated its restructuring efforts in fiscal 2002 with the goal of improving overall operating performance. The Company’s restructuring plan primarily focused on its Wireless Systems segment and consisted of workforce reductions, the consolidation and exiting of excess facilities, the disposal of non-strategic business units and the impairment of excess property and equipment.

 

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, a restructuring related charge of approximately $17.3 million was recognized as operating expenses related to the Company’s fiscal 2002 restructuring plan. The restructuring charge included components related to the reduction of the Company’s workforce, consolidation of excess facilities and property and equipment impairment.

 

    The reduction of workforce included the elimination of approximately 1,200 positions within the Company’s Wireless Systems segment, which resulted in a severance charge of approximately $2.1 million being recognized during fiscal 2002. Announcement of all such workforce reductions was made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002 and the reductions were completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2003.

 

   

The Company also recorded facility related impairment charges of approximately $11.0 million associated with the closure of facilities in California and exited Company-owned facilities in Texas and the United Kingdom within the Company’s Wireless Systems segment. Consolidating locations and exiting facilities resulted in charges relating to write-offs of leasehold improvements at abandoned facilities of $3.1 million, an estimated loss on the sale of the Company’s building in the U.K. of $3.4 million, an estimated loss of $1.4 million on disposal of redundant equipment associated with the Company’s Texas operations, an estimated loss of $0.3 million on the sale of the Company’s building

in Texas, recognition of lease obligations at abandoned California facilities over the planned exit period of $2.6 million and other costs of $0.3 million related to legal, real estate fees and commissions associated with the Texas and United Kingdom facilities held for sale. The impairment charge related to the disposal of the redundant equipment was taken in accordance with SFAS No. 121 and was based on management’s estimate that the related equipment would not generate any future cash flows.

 

    The Company recorded a charge of $4.1 million related to the elimination of certain excess manufacturing equipment related to older process technologies and the closure of its machine shop facilities and included RF manufacturing and machine shop equipment classified as held for disposal in accordance with SFAS 121. The carrying amount of these assets at January 31, 2005 was approximately $0.5 million, which represented the estimated fair market value of similar equipment. The Company also recorded a charge of $0.8 million related to the abandonment of certain obsolete software licenses.

 

During fiscal 2003 and 2004, the Company reassessed its fiscal 2002 restructuring accrual, in as much as it relates to costs of exiting certain lease obligations, and determined that the accrual was understated and recorded an additional $0.9 million charge in 2003 and $0.7 million in 2004.

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recognized to offset deferred tax assets because management cannot conclude that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized in the foreseeable future.

 

On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“AJCA”) was signed into law. The AJCA provides several incentives for U.S. multinational corporations and U.S. manufacturers. Subject to certain limitations, the incentives include an 85% dividend received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations that repatriate accumulated income abroad, and a deduction for domestic qualified production activities taxable income. The U.S. Treasury Department is expected to issue additional guidance with regards to these provisions. We are in the process of analyzing whether to take advantage of this opportunity or the potential impact on our income tax provision, if any.

 

At January 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $0.0 million and $228.0 million, respectively. At January 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company had state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $28.2 million and $92.6 million. At January 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $11.0 million of foreign net operating losses in the United Kingdom, which are available indefinitely. At January 31, 2006, the Company had consolidated federal and state research and

development credits of approximately $8.6 million and $6.2 million respectively, which will begin to expire in 2005, unless previously utilized. The Company also had state manufacturing investment credits of approximately $4.3 million, which will begin to expire in 2007, unless previously utilized.

 

There are limitations on the utilization of the net operating loss carry-forwards and credit carry-forwards. As a result, the net operating losses and credits are not all available to offset current taxable income, including taxable gains that may be recognized on the sale of certain business segments. A portion of the Company’s federal net operating loss carry-forwards and credit carry-forwards relate to acquired companies and are subject to annual usage limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of the Company’s net operating loss carry-forwards and credit carry-forwards may be limited in the event of a cumulative change in ownership of more than 50% within a three-year period.

 

12.    INFORMATION BY SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC REGION

 

Prior to the Plan of Dissolution, REMEC’s business unit structure included two segments;

 

The Wireless Systems segment developed and manufacturers RF power amplifiers, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers, outdoor radio units, and manufacturing services used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over mobile wireless communication networks. These product lines have similar characteristics regarding (a) competitive pricing pressures, (b) life-cycle cost fluctuations, (c) number of competitors, (d) product differentiation, and (e) size of market opportunity.

 

The Defense & Space segment provided a broad spectrum of RF, microwave and guidance products for systems integrated by prime contractors in military and space applications.

 

The Company evaluated performance and allocated resources based on profit or loss from operations before interest, other income and income taxes (Discontinued Operations, related Note 3). The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
