The Company operates through its two principal subsidiaries, M-tron Industries, Inc. (“MtronPTI”), which includes the operations of Piezo Technology, Inc. (“PTI”) and M-tron Asia, LLC (“Mtron”), and Precise Time and Frequency, LLC (“PTF”). The Company operates in two identified segments. The first segment, the electronic components segment, is focused on the design and manufacture of highly-engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products. These electronic components ensure reliability and security in aerospace and defense communications, low noise and base accuracy for laboratory instruments, and synchronous data transfers throughout the wireless and Internet infrastructure. The second segment, the electronic instruments segment, is focused on the design and manufacture of high performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications. The Company has operations in Orlando, Florida, Yankton, South Dakota, Wakefield, Massachusetts and Noida, India and sales offices in Austin, Texas and Hong Kong.

The Company has invested $3.35 million in LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC, which serves as the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of LGL Systems Acquisition Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, commonly referred to as a “SPAC”, or blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination in the aerospace, defense and communications industries (the “SPAC”).

The global outbreak of COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government in March 2020 and has negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy, disrupted global supply chains, resulted in significant travel and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. government, state and local government officials, and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

As a result of COVID-19, our operations in India were closed from March 23, 2020 and resumed limited operations on May 7, 2020 with a reduced level of staffing. In accordance with the Department of Defense (“DoD”) guidance issued in March 2020 designating the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure workforce, our U.S. production facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. Government and the U.S. military, however, facility closures or work slowdowns or temporary stoppages could occur. Additional details regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company are contained within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
