1.           Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been prepared by RELM Wireless Corporation (the Company), and are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation have been made.  The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that impacted the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, or which are expected to impact future periods, which were not previously disclosed in prior periods.

2.           Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The allowance for doubtful accounts on trade receivables was approximately $84 on gross trade receivables of $5,623 at March 31, 2014 and $84 on gross receivables of $2,928 at December 31, 2013.  This allowance is used to state trade receivables at a net realizable value or the amount that the Company estimates will be collected of the Company’s gross receivables.

3.           Inventories, net

The components of inventory, net of reserves for slow-moving, excess or obsolete inventory, consist of the following:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Finished goods	$	2,812	$	3,525
Work in process		5,515		5,702
Raw materials		2,538		2,348
	$	10,865	$	11,575

Reserves for slow-moving, excess, or obsolete inventory are used to state the Company's inventories at the lower of cost or market. The reserves were approximately $1,694 at March 31, 2014, compared with approximately $2,960 at December 31, 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company disposed of obsolete inventory that had been fully reserved previously. There was no material impact to the Company's balance sheet or statement of operations as a result of this transaction.

4.           Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaling approximately $126 has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $6,782 and $6,909, respectively, and are primarily composed of net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs).  These NOLs total $6,906 for federal and $14,849 for state purposes, with expirations starting in 2018 through 2030.

5

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited

(in Thousands, Except Share Data and Percentages)

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize its NOLs prior to their expiration.  ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the Company to analyze all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, the Company is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available, current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

The Company has evaluated the available evidence and the likelihood of realizing the benefit of its net deferred tax assets.  From its evaluation the Company has concluded that based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the full benefit of its net deferred tax assets recorded at March 31, 2014.  The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future.  If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of March 31, 2014.

5.           Capitalized Software

The Company accounts for the costs of software within its products in accordance with ASC Topic 985-20 “Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed”, under which certain software costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized and amortized over the estimated lives of the related products. The Company determines technological feasibility to be established upon the internal release of a detailed program design as specified by Topic 985-20. Upon the general release of the product to customers, development costs for that product are amortized over periods not exceeding five years, based on current and future revenue of the product. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not capitalize any software costs.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company’s amortization cost was approximately $197, compared with $272 for the same period last year.  Net capitalized software costs totaled $1,281 and $1,478 as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

6.           Stockholders’ Equity

The changes in consolidated stockholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are as follows:

	Common Stock Shares		Common Stock Amount		Additional Paid-In Capital		Accumulated Deficit			Total
Balance at December 31, 2013		13,588,804	$	8,153	$	24,672	$	(1,405	)	$	31,420

8.           Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation

The Company has employee and non-employee director stock option programs.  Related to these programs, and in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, the Company recorded non-cash share-based employee compensation expense of $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $31 for the same period last year.  The Company considers its non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as a component of cost of products ($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $0 for the same period last year) and selling, general and administrative expenses ($12 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $31 for the same period last year).  There was no non-cash share-based employee compensation expense capitalized as part of capital expenditures or inventory for the periods presented.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of a stock option grant.  The non-cash share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was calculated using certain assumptions.  For a description of such assumptions, reference is made to Note 10 (Share-Based Employee Compensation) of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Executive Summary

Our financial and operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 improved compared with the same quarter last year.  Total sales and sales of P25 digital products both increased, while selling, general and administrative expenses declined.  These factors combined to yield an increase in operating income compared with the first quarter last year.  Also, our financial position at the end of the first quarter 2014 improved with an increase in working capital, including growth in cash and trade receivables, and a decrease in inventory, compared with the year ended December 31, 2013 and the prior year’s first quarter ended March 31, 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, total sales increased 10.6% to approximately $7.8 million, compared with approximately $7.1 million for the same quarter last year.  Sales of P25 digital products for the first quarter of 2014 increased 19.4% to approximately $5.7 million (73.0% of total sales) compared with approximately $4.8 million (49.8% of total sales) for the same quarter last year.

Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 were approximately 40.2%, compared with 45.7% for the same quarter last year.  The gross margins for the quarter are a reflection of the mix of products sold, competitive pressures and manufacturing overhead absorption.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) decreased 6.9% to approximately $2.5 million (32.5% of sales) compared with approximately $2.7 million (38.7% of sales) for the same period last year, primarily reflecting lower sales and marketing expenses.

Pretax income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $601,000, compared with approximately $479,000 for the same quarter last year, an improvement of approximately 25.7%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, income tax expense totaled approximately $126,000, compared with approximately $74,000 for the same period last year.  Our income tax expense is largely non-cash due to deferred tax assets derived primarily from our net operating loss carryforwards.

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $475,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share), compared with approximately $405,000 ($0.03 per basic and diluted share) for the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2014, working capital totaled approximately $26.3 million, of which approximately $13.6 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables.  As of December 31, 2013 working capital totaled approximately $25.7 million, of which approximately $10.8 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables.

Results of Operations

As an aid to understanding our operating results for the periods covered by this report, the following table shows selected items from our condensed consolidated statements of operations expressed as a percentage of sales:

	Percentage of Sales Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2014			March 31, 2013
Sales		100.0	%		100.0	%
Cost of products		(59.8	)		(54.3	)
Gross margin		40.2			45.7
Selling, general and administrative expenses		(32.5	)		(38.7	)
Net interest expense		(0.0	)		(0.0	)
Other expense		(0.0	)		(0.3	)
Pretax income		7.7			6.7
Income tax expense		1.6			1.0
Net income		6.1	%		5.7	%

Net Sales

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, net sales increased 10.6% to approximately $7.8 million, compared with approximately $7.1 million for the same quarter last year.  Sales of P25 digital products for the quarter increased 19.4% totaling approximately $5.7 million (73.0% of total sales), compared with approximately $4.8 million (67.6% of total sales) for the same quarter last year.

The comparative growth in both total sales and sales of digital products was driven primarily by previously announced orders from longstanding legacy customers and from new customers in state, county and municipal public safety agencies.  These orders were for P25 digital products, a substantial portion of which is comprised of our newer KNG models, but also our legacy D-series products.

Cost of Products and Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit margin as a percentage of sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 40.2%, compared with 45.7% for the same quarter last year.

Our cost of products and gross margins are primarily related to material and labor costs, product mix, manufacturing volumes and pricing.  The cost of products and corresponding gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2014 reflected some competitive pressures and a less favorable mix of product sales.  Also, manufacturing volumes decreased relative to the first quarter last year as a result of inventory reduction initiatives.  Accordingly, we did not fully utilize and absorb our base of manufacturing and support expenses. During the first quarter 2014 we disposed of obsolete inventory that had been fully reserved previously. There was no material impact on our balance sheet or statement of operations as a result of this transaction.

We continue to utilize contract manufacturing relationships to maximize production efficiencies and minimize material and labor costs.  We also regularly consider manufacturing alternatives to improve quality, speed and costs.  We anticipate that our current contract manufacturing relationships or comparable alternatives will be available to us in the future.  We believe leveraging increased sales volumes and P-25 product sales, combined with the aforementioned manufacturing improvements, should yield gross margin improvements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of marketing, sales, commissions, engineering, product development, management information systems, accounting, headquarters and non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses.

11

SG&A expenses for the first quarter 2014 declined 6.9% to approximately $2.5 million (32.5% of sales) compared with approximately $2.7 million (38.7% of sales) for the same quarter last year.

Engineering and product development expenses for the first quarter 2014 decreased $20,000 (2.2%) to approximately $892,000 compared with $912,000 for the same quarter last year.  The decrease is attributed primarily to the amortization of capitalized software, as one project was fully amortized.

Marketing and selling expenses for the first quarter 2014 decreased $171,000 (16.5%) to approximately $868,000 compared with $1.0 million for the same quarter last year.  The decrease related primarily to variable compensation, which directly correlates to sales performance and plans.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2014 totaled approximately $787,000 compared with $785,000 for the same period last year.  Increases in headquarters and public company expenses were largely offset by reductions in variable compensation expenses.

Operating income for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $600,000 (7.7% of sales), compared with approximately $499,000 (7.1% of sales) for the same quarter last year.  The improvement in operating income for the first quarter was primarily due to higher net sales combined with reductions in SG&A expenses.

Net Interest Expense

We incurred no net interest expense for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014 or for the same quarter last year.  Interest expense may be incurred from time to time on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and earn interest income on our cash balances.  The interest rate on such revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2014 was 4.00% per annum.  This rate is variable based on the lender’s prime rate and our adjusted quick ratio.

Income Taxes

We recorded income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 of approximately $126,000 compared with $74,000 for the same quarter last year.  Our income tax expense is primarily non-cash.

As of March 31, 2014, our net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $6.8 million, and are primarily composed of net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs).  These NOLs total $6.9 million for federal and $14.8 million for state purposes, with expirations starting in 2018 through 2030.

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, we will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize our NOLs prior to their expiration.  ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, requires us to analyze all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, we are more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon our conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available and current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

We have evaluated the available evidence and the likelihood of realizing the benefit of our net deferred tax assets.  From our evaluation we have concluded that based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of our net deferred tax assets recorded at March 31, 2014.  We cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of our deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future.  If we incur future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of March 31, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $136,000, compared with cash used in operating activities totaling approximately $1.9 million for the same quarter last year.  Cash provided by operating activities was primarily related to net income and decreases in net inventory.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we realized net income of approximately $475,000 compared with approximately $405,000 for the same quarter last year.  Net inventories decreased during the first quarter 2014 by approximately $710,000 as a result of inventory reduction initiatives.  Accounts receivable increased approximately $2.7 million during the first quarter 2014, reflecting sales that were consummated later in the quarter that have not yet completed their collection cycle.  For the same period last year, accounts receivable increased approximately $2.9 million, also as a result of sales later in the quarter.  Accounts payable for the first quarter increased approximately $740,000 in anticipation of increasing business volumes and related material purchases.  For the same quarter last year trade payables increased by approximately $610,000.  Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $297,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared with approximately $369,000 for the same period last year, as some capitalized software was fully amortized.

Cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $137,000 compared with approximately $200,000 for the same quarter last year.  Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily to upgrade our company-wide enterprise system.  For the same period last year, cash used in investing activities funded the purchase of engineering and manufacturing equipment and the development of software.  We anticipate that future capital expenditures will be funded through our existing cash balance and operating cash flow.

Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 totaled approximately $98,000, representing proceeds from the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

We have a secured revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank with maximum borrowing availability of $5 million (subject to the borrowing base) and a maturity date of December 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014 and the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the loan and security agreement, as amended, governing the revolving credit facility.   For a description of such covenants and the other terms and conditions of the loan and security agreement, as amended, reference is made to Note 6 (Debt) of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014 and the date of this report, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility.  As of March 31, 2014 and the date of this report, there was approximately $4.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of borrowing available under the revolving credit facility.

Our cash balance at March 31, 2014 was approximately $8.0 million.  We believe these funds combined with anticipated cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future.   However, although we do not anticipate needing additional capital in the near term, the current financial and economic conditions could limit our access to credit and impair our ability to raise capital, if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. We also face other risks that could impact our business, liquidity and financial condition. For a description of these risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Critical Accounting Policies

In response to the SEC’s financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we have selected for disclosure our revenue recognition process and our accounting processes involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions.  These processes affect our reported revenues and current assets and are therefore critical in assessing our financial and operating status.  We regularly evaluate these processes in preparing our financial statements.  The processes for revenue recognition, allowance for collection of trade receivables, reserves for excess or obsolete inventory, software development and income taxes involve certain assumptions and estimates that we believe to be reasonable under present facts and circumstances.  These estimates and assumptions, if incorrect, could adversely impact our operations and financial position.  There were no changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 as described in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Item 4.                 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (who serves as our principal financial and accounting officer) have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Securities Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2014.  Based on this evaluation, they have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the first quarter ended March 31, 2014, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 4 - Income Taxes

Income tax expense totaling approximately $126 has been recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $6,782 and $6,909, respectively, and are primarily composed of net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs).  These NOLs total $6,906 for federal and $14,849 for state purposes, with expirations starting in 2018 through 2030.

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, the Company will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize its NOLs prior to their expiration.  ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes”, requires the Company to analyze all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, the Company is more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon the Company’s conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available, current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

The Company has evaluated the available evidence and the likelihood of realizing the benefit of its net deferred tax assets.  From its evaluation the Company has concluded that based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the full benefit of its net deferred tax assets recorded at March 31, 2014.  The Company cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of its deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future.  If the Company incurs future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of March 31, 2014.

NOTE 8 - Non-Cash Share-Based Employee Compensation

The Company has employee and non-employee director stock option programs.  Related to these programs, and in accordance with ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”, the Company recorded non-cash share-based employee compensation expense of $12 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $31 for the same period last year.  The Company considers its non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses as a component of cost of products ($0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $0 for the same period last year) and selling, general and administrative expenses ($12 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with $31 for the same period last year).  There was no non-cash share-based employee compensation expense capitalized as part of capital expenditures or inventory for the periods presented.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model to calculate the fair value of a stock option grant.  The non-cash share-based employee compensation expense recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014 was calculated using certain assumptions.  For a description of such assumptions, reference is made to Note 10 (Share-Based Employee Compensation) of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.
