TELTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In thousands, except shares and per share amounts
(Unaudited)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  Certain reclassifications were made to the 2008 amounts to conform to the 2009 presentation.

For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

The current state of the global economy and credit crunch have resulted in challenging times for all businesses.  The Company’s management implemented plans during 2008 to increase gross margin and decrease operating costs.  These plans have met management’s objective for the first nine months during 2009.

Additionally, management has led an effort to increase sales worldwide, with an emphasis on the promotion of its higher gross profit margin products.  That effort has lead to an increase in orders of 20-20 switching system installations with some of the Company’s largest customers.

The Company has been able to continue to increase sales and lower operating costs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.  If the Company is unable to continue in this effort it could have a material adverse affect on its business.  No adjustments have been made to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based upon these plans and assumptions.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through November 9, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

NOTE 2 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification No. 855, “Subsequent Events” (“ASC 855”) in the second quarter of 2009.  ASC 855 establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. See Footnote No. 1, “Basis of Presentation” for the related disclosures. The adoption of ACS 855 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC No. 105, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ and Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“ASC 105”).  ASC 105 established the FASB Standards Accounting Codification (“Codification”) as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities and rules and interpretive releases of the SEC as authoritative GAAP for SEC
 
4

registrants. The Codification will supersede all the existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards upon its effective date and subsequently, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issued Task Force Abstracts.  This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.  The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company’s credit facility is subject to compliance with various financial covenants and borrowing base criteria.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2009.  The credit facility consists of a $6,000 revolving line of credit and a five year term-loan with a maximum principal amount of $5,842.  Advances under the Revolving credit facility are subject to availability based upon percentages of eligible receivables and eligible inventory.  Borrowings under the facility bear interest at an annual rate of Prime Rate, plus 3.75%, with a minimum rate of 9.75%, and are subject to mandatory prepayments in certain situations.  The obligations under the agreement are secured by a first lien and security interest in all of the Company’s assets.  The availability under this facility as of September 30, 2009 was $904.

The Company’s credit facility was amended July 1, 2009 to change percentages of eligible receivables which is a key borrowing base criteria.  Management believes it will have a minor impact to the business.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND OTHER CONTINGENCIES

The Company entered into a 15 year commercial lease agreement effective June 1, 2009 to lease a 51,520 square foot office building.  The Company will be moving its headquarters to this location.

The Company will be entering into a formal sublease agreement with an affiliated entity, controlled by one of the directors of the Company of which the affiliate has agreed to pay the lease obligation from June 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010 in return for the use of office space.  As of September 30, 2009, total rent expense paid by the affiliated company, on behalf of the Company, under this agreement was $64.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS     (In thousands, except shares and per share amounts)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

References in this report to the “Company,” “Teltronics,” “we” or “us” mean Teltronics, Inc. together with its subsidiaries, except where the context otherwise requires.  A number of statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  These forward-looking statements can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as we “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” or words of similar import.  Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, strategies or goals are also forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may materially adversely affect the anticipated results.  Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the timely development and market acceptance of products and technologies, competitive market conditions, successful integration of acquisitions, the ability to secure additional sources of financing, the ability to reduce operating expenses, and other factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Shareholders, potential investors and other readers are urged to consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements made herein and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements made herein are only made as of the date of this Form 10-Q and we disclaim any obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales and Gross Profit Margin

Net sales increased $6,109 or 75.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  Net sales increased $9,413 or 36.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  The overall increase in net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of increased sales in the 20-20™ market and other miscellaneous markets offset by slight decreases in the Intelligent Systems Management market.  The overall increase in net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of increased sales in the 20-20 market and other miscellaneous markets offset by slight decreases in the Intelligent Systems Management market and the Contract Manufacturing market.

Gross profit margin for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 41.1% and 38.8%, respectively.  Gross profit margin for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was 40.4% and 35.3%, respectively.  The increase in gross profit percentage was primarily driven by sales mix, manufacturing variances and project management.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses were $2,899 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $2,759 for the same period in 2008.

General and administrative expenses increased $195 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  The net increase for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of $147 increase in provision for bad debt, $45 increase in commissions due to increased sales, $25 increase in compensation as related to severance, $16 increase related to bank fees offset by $38 decrease in professional fees.
 
 
Sales and marketing expenses increased $41 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  The net increase for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of $137 increase in provision for bad debts due to a decrease in the Accounts Receivable Reserve in the third quarter of 2008, $29 increase in advertising, $21 increase in rent offset by budget cuts put into place during last half of 2008 and other savings which resulted in a $95
 
7

decrease in compensation and benefits, a $27 decrease in travel, meals and entertainment related expense, and a $24 decrease in office expense.

Research and development expenses decreased $42 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  The net decrease for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of budget cuts put into place during the last half of 2008 and other savings which resulted in a $35 decrease in compensation and benefits, a $33 decrease in rent, a $16 decrease in certifications, offset by a $42 increase in professional fees.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $54 for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008.  The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily the result of reduced depreciation expense based on lower fixed asset purchases.

The current state of the global economy and credit crunch has resulted in challenging times for all businesses.  The Company’s management implemented plans during 2008 to increase gross margin and decrease operating costs; these savings totaled $6,000.  During the nine months ending September 30, 2009, the Company increased its focus on expense control, reduced operating redundancies, and reviewed processes for increased efficiencies.  The plans have met management’s objectives for the first nine months of 2009.

Additionally, management has led an effort to increase sales worldwide, with an emphasis on its higher gross profit margin products.  That effort has lead to an increase in orders of 20-20 switching system installations with some of the Company’s largest customers.

The Company has been able to continue to increase sales and lower operating costs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2009.  If the Company is unable to continue in this effort it could have a material adverse affect on its business.  No adjustments have been made to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based upon these plans and assumptions.
