Sales of our CIS products are made principally to the healthcare, pharmaceutical, and automotive industries.

The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week annual accounting period ending the last Friday in February. Certain amounts from prior consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in fiscal 2013.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ETC, our 95%-owned subsidiary, ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries SP. Z 0.0, (“ETC-PZL”), and our 99%-owned subsidiary, Environmental Tectonics Corporation (Europe) Limited (“ETC-Europe”). The Company’s corporate headquarters and main production plant are located in Southampton, Pennsylvania, USA. ETC-PZL manufactures simulators and provides software to support our domestic products. ETC-Europe functions as a sales office in the United Kingdom. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by ETC, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

In accordance with industry practices, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted long-term contracts are classified as current even though a portion of these amounts may not be realized within one year.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year’s results; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year.

References to 2013 first quarter are references to the thirteen week period ended May 25, 2012. References to 2012 first quarter are references to the thirteen week period ended May 27, 2011. References to fiscal 2013 or the 2013 fiscal year are references to the fifty-two week period ending February 22, 2013. References to fiscal 2012 or the 2012 fiscal year are references to the fifty-two week period ended February 24, 2012.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during fiscal 2013 as compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. Among the new provisions in ASU 2011-05 was a requirement for entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented (for both interim and annual financial statements); accordingly, this requirement is indefinitely deferred by ASU 2011-12 and will be further deliberated by the FASB at a future date.

The Company adopted this guidance during the thirteen week period ended February 24, 2012, and chose to present other comprehensive income within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The effect of this amended guidance, which is not deemed to be material, has been retrospectively applied to all periods presented.

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles˗Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, which amends the guidance in ASC 350-302 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If the entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. ASU 2012-02 does not revise the requirement to test indefinite-lived intangible assets annually for impairment. In addition, ASU 2012-02 does not amend the requirement to test these assets for impairment between annual tests if there is a change in events or circumstances; however, it does revise the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider in interim periods. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012; early adoption is permitted. The effect of this amended guidance has been deemed immaterial since the Company does not have any indefinite-lived intangible assets.

2. Earnings per Share

The Company utilizes the two-class method for computing and presenting earnings per share. The Company currently has one class of common stock (the “Common Stock”) and two classes of cumulative participating preferred stock, Series D and Series E (the “Preferred Stock”). Under its terms, the Preferred Stock is entitled to participate in any cash dividends on a one-for-one basis for the equivalent converted common shares if the Preferred Stock were to be converted by the holder by the dividend record date. Therefore, the Preferred Stock is considered a participating security requiring the two-class method for the computation and presentation of net income per share – basic.

The two-class computation method for each period segregates basic earnings per common and participating share into two categories: distributed earnings per share (i.e., the Preferred Stock stated dividend) and undistributed earnings per share, which allocates earnings after subtracting the Preferred Stock dividend to the total of weighted average common shares outstanding plus equivalent converted common shares related to the Preferred Stock. Basic earnings per common and participating share excludes the effect of Common Stock equivalents, and is computed using the two-class computation method.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could result if securities or other contracts to issue Common Stock were exercised or converted into Common Stock. Diluted earnings per share continues to be computed using the if-converted method. Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise of stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method. If the effect of the conversion of any financial instruments would be anti-dilutive, it is excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share information)

At May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012, there was $22,127 of cumulative convertible participating Preferred Stock. These instruments were convertible at exercise prices of:

Series D Preferred Stock of $55 at $0.94 per share, equating to 58,511 shares of Common Stock, issued in April 2009;

Series D Preferred Stock of $100 at $1.11 per share, equating to 90,090 shares of Common Stock, issued in July 2009;

Series D Preferred Stock of $231 at $3.02 per share, equating to 76,490 shares of Common Stock, issued in October 2010; and

Series E Preferred Stock of $21,741 at $2.00 per share, equating to 10,870,321 shares of Common Stock, issued in July 2009.

On February 20, 2009, in connection with the issuance of a $2,000 promissory note, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to purchase 143,885 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.39 per share. Additionally, on July 2, 2009, in consideration of an increase of the guarantee on the line of credit with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Bank”), the Company issued 500,000 warrants to purchase 450,450 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at $1.11 per share. On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into amendments to these warrants to remove a provision in each of the warrants that provided anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issued securities at a price below the exercise price set forth in the warrants.

At May 25, 2012 and May 27, 2011, there were outstanding options to purchase the Company’s Common Stock totaling 270,921 and 260,921 shares at an average price of $4.34 and $4.44 per share, respectively. Due to the conversion price of the Common Stock options, all 270,921 shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of May 25, 2012 because the effect of their conversion would be antidulutive; likewise, all 260,921 shares were also excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as of May 27, 2011.

In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, the Company may capitalize into property, plant, and equipment certain costs of simulation equipment. This equipment may be used to provide training or as a demonstration device to market the technology, and may be sold as a product if appropriate. Upon receipt of a contract or contracts for products which are based on this technology, such costs will be transferred initially into inventory and subsequently charged to the cost of sales for that particular contract as manufacturing costs.

5. Long-Term Obligations and Credit Arrangements

Lenfest Financing Transaction

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Lenfest Financing Transaction”) with H.F. Lenfest, a major shareholder and member of our Board of Directors (“Lenfest”), that provided for, among other things, the following: (i) the exchange of the Subordinated Note (as defined below) held by Lenfest, together with all accrued interest and warrants issuable under the Subordinated Note, and all Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock held by Lenfest, together with all accrued dividends thereon, for a new class of preferred stock, Series E Preferred Stock, the terms of which are described below; and (ii) the guarantee by Lenfest of all of ETC’s obligations to PNC Bank in connection with an increase of the existing $15,000 revolving line of credit with PNC Bank (the “2007 PNC Credit Facility”) to $20,000, and in connection with this guarantee, the pledge by Lenfest to PNC Bank of $10,000 in marketable securities.

Preferred Stock

Presently, the Company has two classes of Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock: Series D (11,000 shares authorized) and Series E (25,000 shares authorized) (together, the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock was authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors in April 2009 as part of the Lenfest Financing Transaction. The Preferred Stock has a par value of $0.05 per share and a stated value of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 10% per year in preference to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock with respect to dividends. These dividends are payable only upon a liquidation event or when otherwise declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company cannot declare or pay any dividends on its Common Stock until the dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid. The Preferred Stock holders are entitled to receive any dividends paid with respect to the Common Stock on an “as-converted” basis. The Preferred Stock may be converted by the holder at any time and from time to time into the Company’s Common Stock by dividing the stated value of the Preferred Stock by the conversion price established at the time of issuance (see Series D Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock, below). Upon a liquidation event, the holders of the Preferred Stock would be entitled to participate in any proceeds in preference to any common stock holders. The Preferred Stock would also participate in any liquidation event with the Common Stock holders on an “as-converted” basis. The Preferred Stock conversion price is subject to adjustment for certain transactions including stock splits and issuance of equity securities below the conversion prices.

The Company has reviewed the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to the Preferred Stock; specifically, the Company has reviewed both ASC 480 – Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging. Upon its review, the Company determined that the Preferred Stock is within the control of the Company and that the attributes of the Preferred Stock are more akin to equity than debt. The specific attributes considered by the Company include the designation of the instruments, the conversion of the instruments to the Company’s Common Stock, the participation feature, the non-mandatory conversion, the voting rights, and the ability to appoint directors. Secondly, the Company determined that the Preferred Stock qualifies as permanent equity because the Preferred Stock is not mandatorily redeemable, and there is no obligation to either repurchase the instruments or issue a variable amount of common shares. Lastly, the Company determined that the conversion feature qualifies for the scope exception of ASC 815 – Derivatives and Hedging as it is clearly and closely related to the Preferred Stock instrument.

Issuances of the Preferred Stock are as follows:

Series D Preferred Stock

Lenfest Credit Facility

On April 24, 2009, the Company paid to Lenfest an origination fee of 1% of the committed amount of the Lenfest Credit Facility. The value of the origination fee was $55. The origination fee was paid in 55 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which have a conversion price of $0.94 per share, equaling the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on that day and would convert into 58,511 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

PNC Credit Facility

In connection with the execution of the documents to increase the Company’s existing $15,000 revolving line of credit with PNC Bank to $20,000, ETC paid to Lenfest an origination fee of 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, which is equal to one percent (1%) of the market value of the $10,000 in marketable securities pledged by Lenfest to PNC Bank to secure ETC’s obligations to PNC Bank. The 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share, or $100 in the aggregate. These shares of Series D Preferred Stock have a conversion price per share equal to $1.11, equaling the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 120 days preceding the issuance of such shares and would convert into 90,090 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Interest Payment

On October 6, 2010, the Company issued to Lenfest 231 shares of Series D Preferred Stock with a stated value of $1,000 per share in payment of $231 of interest due under the Lenfest Pledge Agreement for the period July 2, 2009 through August 27, 2010. The 231 shares have a conversion price per share equal to $3.02 equaling the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 120 days preceding the issuance of such shares, and would convert into 76,490 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As of May 25, 2012, $350 of interest has been accrued for the period August 28, 2010 through May 25, 2012.

Preferred Stock Dividends

As of May 25, 2012, the Series D Preferred Stock totaled $386 and was convertible into 225,091 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All Series D Preferred Stock dividends accruing through May 25, 2012 were paid in August 2012.

Series E Preferred Stock

On July 2, 2009, the Company issued 23,741 shares of Series E Preferred Stock to Lenfest in connection with the Lenfest Financing Transaction. The shares of Series E Preferred Stock are convertible to Common Stock at a conversion price per share equal to $2.00 and would convert into 11,870,391 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

On March 10, 2010, August 12, 2010, and February 9, 2011, ETC entered into three separate agreements with Lenfest to repurchase and retire a total of 2,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock owned by Lenfest. In the three agreements, the repurchases were made at the stated price of $1,000 per share for a total of $2,000.

As of May 25, 2012, the Series E Preferred Stock totaled $21,741 and was convertible into 10,870,391 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. All Series E Preferred Stock dividends accruing through May 25, 2012 were paid in August 2012.

Common Stock Warrants

On February 28, 2009, in connection with a $2,000 loan made by Lenfest to the Company, the Company issued to Lenfest warrants to purchase 143,885 shares of ETC Common Stock, which shares were equal in value to 10% of the $2,000 note. The warrants are exercisable for seven years following issuance at an exercise price of $1.39, which price equaled the average closing price of ETC Common Stock during the 120 days prior to the issuance of the warrant.

On July 2, 2009, in consideration of Lenfest’s agreement to guarantee the $5,000 increase to the Company’s line of credit with PNC Bank, ETC issued to Lenfest warrants to purchase 450,450 shares of ETC Common Stock, which shares were equal in value to ten percent (10%) of the amount of the $5,000 increase. The warrants are exercisable for seven years following issuance at an exercise price per share equal to $1.11, equaling the average closing price of ETC Common Stock during the 120 days preceding the issuance of the warrant.

On January 4, 2011, the Company entered into amendments to each of the warrants issued to Lenfest pursuant to which Lenfest agreed to remove a provision in each of the warrants which provided anti-dilution protection in the event the Company issued securities at a price below the exercise price set forth in the warrants.

Bank Credit and Facility

The Company has a line of credit facility with PNC Bank (“PNC Credit Agreement”) of $20,000, which expires on June 30, 2013. The PNC Credit Agreement is subject to the condition that Lenfest continue to personally guarantee all of ETC’s obligations to PNC Bank (the “Lenfest Guaranty”) and that Lenfest pledge $10,000 in marketable securities as collateral security for his guarantee (the “Lenfest Pledge”).

In connection with the PNC Credit Agreement and the Lenfest Pledge, ETC paid to Lenfest an origination fee of 100 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), which is equal to one percent (1%) of the market value of the $10,000 in marketable securities pledged by Lenfest to PNC Bank to secure ETC’s obligations to PNC Bank. The 100 shares of Series D Preferred Stock have a stated value of $1,000 per share, or $100 in the aggregate. These shares of Series D Preferred Stock have a conversion price per share equal to $1.11, equaling the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 120 days preceding the issuance of such shares and would convert into 90,090 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Additionally, ETC will pay Lenfest annual interest equal to 2% of the amount of the Lenfest Pledge, payable in Series D Preferred Stock.

In consideration of Lenfest entering into the PNC Credit Agreement and Lenfest Pledge, ETC issued to Lenfest warrants to purchase shares of ETC Common Stock equal to 10% of the amount of a $5,000 increase under the 2007 PNC Bank Credit Facility. The warrants are exercisable for seven years following issuance at an exercise price per share equal to $1.11, which was equal to the average price of ETC Common Stock during the 120 days preceding the date of this warrant.

The Company recorded a loan origination deferred charge associated with these warrants of $487 using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 91.9%; risk-free interest rate of 0.49%; and an expected life of seven years. As of May 25, 2012, the unamortized balance of the deferred charge was $110.

As of May 25, 2012, the Company’s availability under the PNC Credit Agreement was $1,077. This reflected cash borrowing under the PNC Credit Agreement of $18,141 and outstanding letters of credit of approximately $782. Amounts borrowed under the PNC Credit Agreement can be borrowed, repaid, and reborrowed from time-to-time until June 30, 2013, and bears interest at either the prime rate plus 0.50 percentage points or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 2.50 percentage points. Additionally, ETC is obligated to pay a fee of 0.125% per year for unused but available funds under the line of credit.

The PNC Credit Agreement has the following affirmative covenants: (i) a Consolidated Tangible Net Worth covenant, for which the Company must maintain a minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of at least $10,000 and (ii) an EBITDA covenant for which the Company must maintain a minimum cumulative aggregate Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”) of $4,000 for the fiscal quarter then ending and the three preceding fiscal quarters. The Company is in compliance with its covenants as of May 25, 2012.

Due to the Company’s accumulated deficit as of February 24, 2012, all dividends accruing through this date for the Series D and Series E Preferred Stock issuances have been recorded in the accompanying financial statements as a reduction in additional paid-in capital. The first $509 of the $552 in dividends accrued for during the 2013 first quarter have been recorded as a reduction to retained earnings.

Dedicated Line of Credit Agreement with PNC Bank

The Company has a committed line of credit in the amount of $5,422 with PNC Bank (the “Dedicated Line of Credit”). The Company uses the Dedicated Line of Credit to satisfy performance bond and repayment guarantee requirements for an international contract. Use of this Dedicated Line of Credit is restricted to funding contract performance and repayment guarantee requirements under this specific contract.

As security for the Dedicated Line of Credit, the Company has deposited $5,422 in a certificate of deposit with PNC Bank. ETC is obligated to pay a fee of 3% per year for the Dedicated Line of Credit.

ETC-PZL Line of Credit Agreement

ETC-PZL has a line of credit in the amount of $175 with a Warsaw bank to fund current activity. The line of credit will expire in July 2013. As of May 25, 2012, the Company’s availability under this line of credit was $71. This reflected cash borrowing under this line of credit of $104.

Summary of Long-Term Debt Obligations

Long-term debt obligations at May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012 consist of the following:

6. Income Taxes

Effective tax rates were 37.5% and 37.9% for the 2013 first quarter and 2012 first quarter, respectively. Income tax provisions of $1,014 and $992 were recorded in the 2013 first quarter and the 2012 first quarter, respectively. At the end of each interim period, we make our best estimate of the effective tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year and the impact of discrete items, if any, and adjust the quarterly rate as necessary.

Generally, accounting standards require companies to provide for income taxes each quarter based on their estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year. The authoritative guidance for accounting for income taxes allows use of the discrete method when, in certain situations, the actual interim period effective tax rate may be used if it provides a better estimate of income tax expense.

As of May 25, 2012, the Company had approximately $20.5 million of federal net loss carryforwards available to offset future income tax liabilities, which begin to expire in 2025. In addition, the Company has the ability to offset deferred tax assets against deferred tax liabilities created for such items as depreciation and amortization.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Certain claims, suits, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel handling these specific matters, all such matters are reserved for or adequately covered by insurance or, if not so covered, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, as would not be expected to have a significant effect on our financial position or results of operations if determined adversely against us.

8. Segment Information (unaudited) (continued)

Approximately 60.1% of net sales in the 2013 first quarter, totaling $9,657, were made to the U.S. Government under three contracts, to one Domestic commercial customer, and to one International customer. Approximately 68.9% of net sales in the 2012 first quarter, totaling $11,220, were made to the U.S. Government under three contracts, one Domestic commercial customer, and to one International customer.

The segment information for the 2013 first quarter includes export sales of $4,201, including sales to the Korean government of $1,932. The segment information for the 2012 first quarter includes export sales of $4,368, including sales to the Korean government of $2,058.

As of both May 25, 2012 and May 27, 2011, substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets were located in the United States.

9. Subsequent Events

On June 8, 2012, the Company disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K that it would miss the extended deadline of June 8, 2012 to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year, which was subsequently filed on August 2, 2012. As disclosed by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed on May 24, 2012, the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year was related to an independent internal investigation of accounting practices at one of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that was being conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company discussed with PNC Bank the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year because the delay in filing would result in a breach of a covenant in the Company’s line of credit, and the Company received from PNC Bank waivers through August 3, 2012, within which its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year has been filed; consequently, the Company did not breach a covenant in its line of credit and remains in compliance with its bank covenants. The delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year contributed to the delay in filing the Form 10-Q for the 2013 first quarter, as disclosed by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed on July 9, 2012.

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Discussions of some of the matters contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for ETC may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, as such, may involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events or future financial performance, which include implementing our business strategy, developing and introducing new technologies, obtaining, maintaining and expanding market acceptance of the technologies we offer, and competition in our markets. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about ETC and its subsidiaries that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company’s vision, mission, strategies, goals, beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates, intentions, financial condition, results of operations, future performance and business of the Company, including, but not limited to, (i) projections of revenues, costs of materials, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital expenditures, growth prospects, dividends, capital structure, other financial items and the effects of currency fluctuations, (ii) statements of our plans and objectives of the Company or its management or Board of Directors, including the introduction of new products, or estimates or predictions of actions of customers, suppliers, competitors or regulatory authorities, (iii) statements of future economic performance, (iv) statements of assumptions and other statements about the Company or its business, (v) statements made about the possible outcomes of litigation involving the Company, (vi) statements regarding the Company’s ability to obtain financing to support its operations and other expenses, and (vii) statements preceded by, followed by or that include terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “future,” “predict,” “potential,” “intend,” or “continue,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties which are subject to change based on various important factors. Some of these risks and uncertainties, in whole or in part, are beyond the Company’s control. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a material difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year, in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Shareholders are urged to review these risks carefully prior to making an investment in the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company cautions that the foregoing list of factors that could affect forward-looking statements by ETC is not exclusive. Except as required by federal securities law, the Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.

Overview

ETC was incorporated in 1969 in Pennsylvania. For over forty-three years, we have provided our customers with products, service, and support. Innovation, continuous technological improvement and enhancement, and product quality are core values that are critical to our success. We are a significant supplier and innovator in the following product areas: (1) software driven products and services used to create and monitor the physiological effects of flight, including high performance jet tactical flight simulation, upset recovery and spatial disorientation, and both suborbital and orbital commercial human spaceflight; (2) altitude (hypobaric) chambers; (3) the Advanced Disaster Management Simulator (“ADMS”); (4) steam and gas sterilizers; (5) environmental testing and simulation devices; and (6) hyperbaric (100% oxygen) chambers.

We operate in two business segments – Aerospace and CIS.

Aerospace encompasses the design, manufacture, and sale of (1) software driven products and services used to create and monitor the physiological effects of flight, including high performance jet tactical flight simulation, upset recovery and spatial disorientation, and both suborbital and orbital commercial human spaceflight; collectively, Aircrew Training Systems (“ATS”), (2) altitude (hypobaric) chambers, and (3) ADMS, as well as integrated logistics support for customers who purchase these products. These products and services provide customers with an offering of comprehensive solutions for improved readiness and reduced operational costs.

CIS operations encompass the design, manufacture, and sale of core technologies including (1) steam and gas (ethylene oxide) sterilizers; (2) environmental testing and simulation devices; and (3) hyperbaric (100% oxygen) chambers for one person (monoplace chambers) and multiple persons (multiplace chambers), as well as parts and service support.

Net sales, operating income, identifiable assets, and other financial information regarding our segments may be found in Note 8 – Segment Information (unaudited) of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Index

We sell integrated training services and products. Some of our products are customized, using our proprietary software based on specifications provided by our customers. Some of our products take more than one year to manufacture and deliver to the customer.

In the Aerospace segment, we offer integrated aircrew training services to commercial, governmental, and military defense agencies, and training devices to governmental and military defense agencies both in the United States and internationally. We sell our disaster management simulation training and products to fire and emergency training schools, and state and local governments.

In the CIS segment, we sell our sterilizers to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. We sell our environmental testing systems primarily to commercial automobile manufacturers and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) manufacturers. We sell our hyperbaric products to hospitals and clinics (primarily “monoplace” chambers) and to the military (primarily “multiplace” chambers). We also provide upgrade, maintenance, and repair services for our products and for products manufactured by other parties.

We presently have two operating subsidiaries. ETC-PZL, our 95%-owned subsidiary in Warsaw, Poland, manufactures simulators and provides software to support our domestic products. ETC-Europe, our 99%-owned subsidiary, functions as a sales office in the United Kingdom.

We utilize both employees and independent representatives to market our products and services. We have branch offices in England, Egypt, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan. Internationally, we have relationships with numerous independent sales representatives and distributors.

In December 2011, we learned of potential non-compliant accounting practices at one of these foreign subsidiaries, relating to the manner in which internal personnel costs were allocated to certain contracts. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors initiated an independent internal investigation to determine the extent and materiality of the potential non-compliance with respect to the Company’s financial reporting for fiscal 2012, and the investigation has now been completed.

Based on the information obtained during the course of the investigation, including a forensic audit of selected electronically stored information, and interviews with certain employees and management of the foreign subsidiary, the Audit Committee’s independent counsel did not find a sufficient basis from which to conclude that the reallocation of personnel costs was due to an illegitimate purpose or motive. However, it was noted that reallocations of time entries among contracts had occurred and that the subsidiary did not have a uniform centralized system for recording personnel time and retaining source data, thereby creating a situation where there was insufficient maintenance of records that reflect the transactions in reasonable detail so as to permit the timely preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the corporate governance structure of the foreign subsidiary, which vested significant control of the subsidiary in the subsidiary’s management board, did not allow for prompt and effective intervention by the Company or its Board and significantly complicated the investigation. Taken together, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these circumstances constitute a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting (see Item 4. Controls and Procedures, below).

The following factors had an impact on our financial performance, cash flow, and financial position for the 2013 first quarter:

Production under U.S. Government contracts

The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Act passed by Congress in 2005 mandated base closures and consolidations through all the U.S. defense services. As a result of this Act, we were awarded three major contracts for pilot training simulators. Our fiscal 2013 opening backlog of firm orders included approximately $39.0 million for three significant contracts including one from the U.S. Navy for a research disorientation device and two from the U.S. Air Force to provide a high performance human centrifuge and a suite of research altitude chambers. As a result of engineering and production activity on these three contracts beginning to wind down, sales to the U.S. Government decreased by $1.2 million or 16.3% during the 2013 first quarter versus the 2012 first quarter. Although at the current time we still have a significant sales backlog with the U.S. Government for equipment being procured under the BRAC Act, given the current domestic economic conditions and political environment, it should not be assumed that any additional contracts will be awarded to us.

Provisions for income taxes

During fiscal 2012, an income tax provision of $2.6 million was recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. This provision primarily reflected the realization of the Company’s net loss carryforwards. During the 2013 first quarter, an income tax provision of $1.0 million was recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income. As of May 25, 2012, the Company had approximately $20.5 million of federal net loss carryforwards available to offset future income tax liabilities.

The independent internal investigation by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors

We have incurred substantial costs and diverted management resources in connection with the aforementioned independent internal investigation. In addition, the enhancements to be implemented to remediate the material weakness (see Item 4. Controls and Procedures, below) will require us to incur additional costs and to divert management resources in the upcoming fiscal quarters.

Index

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operation are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s condensed financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that reflect significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, entitled Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year.

Net income attributable to ETC was $1.7 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share, in the 2013 first quarter, compared to $1.6 million or $0.05 diluted earnings per share, during the 2012 first quarter, representing an increase of $0.1 million, or 5.3%. This increase reflects an increase in income before income taxes of $65 thousand, a result of higher operating income, primarily from an increase in gross profit margin as a percentage of sales, albeit on lower net sales, a $90 thousand reduction in operating expenses, and a $111 thousand reduction in other expenses, offset in part, by a $64 thousand increase in interest expense as a result of increased borrowings.

Net sales for the 2013 first quarter were $16.1 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 1.3%, compared to 2012 first quarter net sales of $16.3 million. The decrease reflects decreased sales to the U.S. Government and International customers, offset in part, by increased sales to Domestic customers.

Domestic Sales

Domestic sales in the 2013 first quarter were $5.5 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 28.2%, over 2012 first quarter sales of $4.3 million. The increase in Domestic sales is due primarily to an increase in Sterilizer sales within the CIS segment. Domestic sales represented 34.1% of the Company’s total net sales in the 2013 first quarter compared to 26.3% of the Company’s total net sales in the 2012 first quarter.

U.S. Government Sales

U.S. Government sales in the 2013 first quarter were $6.4 million, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 16.3%, compared to 2012 first quarter sales of $7.6 million, and represented 39.8% of total net sales in the 2013 first quarter compared to 46.9% for the 2012 first quarter. This decrease is the result of lower ATS sales, offset in part, by an increase in sales related to a suite of research altitude chambers. Given the existing progress made on U.S. Government sales contracts in the Company’s backlog, the Company anticipates the concentration of sales to the U.S. Government will continue to lessen in fiscal 2013.

International Sales

International sales for the 2013 first quarter, including those of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, were $4.2 million compared to $4.4 million in the 2012 first quarter, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 3.8%, and represented 26.1% of total net sales in the 2013 first quarter compared to 26.8% in the 2012 first quarter. The decrease in International sales reflects a decrease in Hyperbaric and Chambers sales, offset in part, by an increase in ATS sales. International sales in the 2013 first quarter included $1.9 million in sales to the Korean government. International sales in the 2012 first quarter included $2.1 million in sales to the Korean government.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the 2013 first quarter was $6.4 million as compared to $6.5 million in the 2012 first quarter, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.8%. The slight reduction in gross profit was a result of slightly lower net sales; however, gross profit margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 40.1% in the 2013 first quarter from 39.9% in the 2012 first quarter.

Index

Selling and Marketing Expenses

Selling and marketing expenses for the 2013 first quarter of $1.3 million remained unchanged compared to the 2012 first quarter. As a percentage of net sales, selling and marketing expenses increased slightly to 8.3% in the 2013 first quarter from 7.9% in the 2012 first quarter. Although the dollar amount of selling and marketing expenses did not change, there was an increase in salaries and proposal related expenses, offset by a decrease in travel related expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the 2013 first quarter were $1.9 million, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 9.8%, compared to the 2012 first quarter. As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses decreased to 11.7% in the 2013 first quarter from 12.8% in the 2012 first quarter. The dollar decrease was primarily a result of a one-time charge to vacation expense in the 2012 first quarter, offset in part, by an increase in expenses related to ETC-Europe.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include spending for potential new products and technologies, and internationally, work performed under government grant programs. This spending, net of grant payments from the Polish and Turkish governments, totaled $0.3 million for the 2013 first quarter compared to $0.2 million for the 2012 first quarter, an increase of $0.1 million, or 26.5%. The increase was a result of less research and development employees being assigned to specific contracts; thus, expenses related to these employees were included in research and development expenses in the 2013 first quarter. Most of the Company’s research efforts, which were and continue to be a significant cost of its business, are included in cost of sales for applied research for specific contracts, as well as research for feasibility and technology updates. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses were 1.9% in the 2013 first quarter compared to 1.5% in the 2012 first quarter.

Operating Income

Operating income for the 2013 first quarter of $2.9 million remained unchanged compared to the 2012 first quarter. Operating income as a percentage of net sales increased to 18.1% from 17.7% in the 2012 first quarter. On a segment basis, Aerospace had operating income of $2.3 million for the 2013 first quarter, a $0.2 million decrease from operating income of $2.5 million in the 2012 first quarter. CIS had operating income of $1.2 million in the 2013 first quarter, which remained unchanged compared to the 2012 first quarter. These segment operating results were offset, in part, by unallocated corporate expenses of $0.6 million and $0.8 million in the 2013 first quarter and the 2012 first quarter, respectively.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, for the 2013 first quarter was $214 thousand as compared to $150 thousand in the 2012 first quarter, representing a higher level of bank borrowing as a result of cash used in operations, primarily for costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted long-term contracts, offset in part, by reduced debt at ETC-PZL.

Other (Income) Expense, Net

Other income, net for the 2013 first quarter was $3 thousand compared to other expense, net of $108 thousand in the 2012 first quarter, a decrease of $111 thousand. Other (income) expense, net consists primarily of bank and letter of credit fees, as well as foreign currency exchange gains and losses.

Income Taxes

As of May 25, 2012, the Company reviewed the components of its deferred tax assets and determined, based upon all available information, that its current and expected future operating income will more likely than not result in the realization of its deferred tax assets relating to its federal net operating loss carryforwards. The Company has a net deferred tax asset related primarily to its federal net operating loss carryforwards of $7.4 million. Income tax provisions of $1.0 million were recorded in both the 2013 first quarter and the 2012 first quarter.

Index

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of a continued elevated level of production to satisfy the requirements of long-term contracts in the Company’s backlog of $74.5 million that existed at February 24, 2012, the Company borrowed under its line of credit to fund operating activities during the 2013 first quarter. The Company’s availability at May 25, 2012 was $1.1 million under its line of credit with PNC Bank, which has increased to $5.6 million at August 14, 2012. The Company expects the availability to continue increasing as several of our long-term contracts with back loaded cash receipts begin to wind down. Working capital, or current assets less current liabilities, was $31.5 million at May 25, 2012 compared with $27.8 million at February 24, 2012. The increase in working capital was primarily the result of the Company borrowing against its long-term line of credit to finance increasing costs in excess of billings on uncompleted long-term contracts, which will reduce upon the achievement of certain milestones. The Company’s current ratio, current assets divided by current liabilities, improved to 2.7:1 at May 25, 2012 from 2.4:1 at February 24, 2012.

With unused availability under the PNC Bank line of credit and the Company’s ability to generate cash from operations, the Company anticipates these sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund its operating activities, anticipated capital expenditures, and debt repayment obligations for the twelve months subsequent to May 25, 2012.

The schedule below presents the Company’s available borrowings under its existing credit facilities (amounts in thousands):

	As of May 25, 2012						As of February 24, 2012
Credit facility*	Total Facility		Amount Borrowed		Amount Available**		Total Facility		Amount Borrowed		Amount Available**

*See Note 5 to the Consolidated Unaudited Financial Statements, entitled Long-Term Obligations and Credit Arrangements, in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

** Amount available takes into account letters of credit outstanding against the PNC Bank line of credit of $782 thousand as of both May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012, respectively.

The Company expects to meet its long-term obligations through cash flow from operations and from increasing borrowing capacity resulting from the Company’s anticipated strengthening equity position and modest leverage.

Cash flows from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities is driven by income from sales of our products offset by the timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.

During the 2013 first quarter, as a result of elevated production levels to meet the requirements of the $74.5 million backlog at February 24, 2012, the Company utilized $0.6 million of cash in operating activities compared to cash used in operating activities of $4.2 million in the 2012 first quarter. Cash was utilized primarily for the increase in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and the decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted long-term percentage of completion (“POC”) contracts. Under POC revenue recognition, these accounts represent the timing differences of spending on production activities versus collecting on long-term contracts. Increased inventories purchased for projects also utilized cash during the period. The aforementioned utilization of cash was offset, in part, by a decrease in accounts receivable due to collections.

Cash flows from investing activities

Cash used for investing activities primarily relates to funds used for capital expenditures in equipment and software development. The Company’s investing activities used $0.5 million in the 2013 first quarter, and consisted primarily of costs for the acquisition of computer equipment and the manufacturing of demonstration simulators for our NASTAR Center, coupled with software enhancements for our Advanced Tactical Fighter Systems technology and Hyperbaric products. This is comparable to cash used in investing activities of $0.4 million in the 2012 first quarter.

Cash flows from financing activities

The Company’s financing activities provided $0.8 million of cash in the 2013 first quarter. This primarily reflected borrowings under the Company’s PNC Bank line of credit to fund the higher level of activity that was offset, in part, by dividends paid on Preferred Stock. In the 2012 first quarter, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $4.2 million, primarily for borrowings under the line of credit, offset in part, by dividends paid on Preferred Stock.

Index

Outlook

We expect to use our cash, cash equivalents, and credit facilities for working capital and general corporate purposes, products, product rights, technologies, property, plant and equipment, the payment of contractual and other legal obligations, including scheduled interest payments on our credit facilities and dividends on our Preferred Stock, the potential acquisition of businesses, and/or the purchase, redemption or retirement of our credit facilities and Preferred Stock. We expect that net sales of our currently marketed products, combined with availability under our lines of credit, should continue to provide us sufficient funds for fiscal 2013. At this time, however, we cannot accurately predict the effect of certain developments on our anticipated rate of sales growth in fiscal 2014 and beyond, because of factors such as the degree of market acceptance, the impact of competition, the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts, and the outcome of our efforts to develop our products.

At the end of each fiscal quarter in fiscal 2013, and through the current term of the PNC Bank line of credit, we expect to maintain, per bank covenant requirement, a minimum aggregate EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) of $4.0 million for the fiscal quarter then ending and the three immediately preceding fiscal quarters.

Our sales backlog at May 25, 2012 and February 24, 2012 for work to be performed and revenue to be recognized under written agreements after such dates was $72.2 million and $74.5 million, respectively. Of the May 25, 2012 sales backlog, approximately $15.2 million represents two International contracts for multiple aircrew training simulators. Approximately 98.3% of the U.S. Government backlog relates to three contracts.

The Company’s order flow does not follow any seasonal pattern as the Company receives orders in each fiscal quarter of its fiscal year.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system cannot provide absolute assurances, however, that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at May 25, 2012 because of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to (i) a foreign subsidiary not having a uniform centralized system for recording personnel time and retaining source data for certain contracts, and (ii) this subsidiary’s corporate governance structure, as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year. We performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures with regard to this foreign subsidiary to provide reasonable assurance that our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fiscal quarter ended May 25, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. During the last three quarters of fiscal 2013, the Company expects to implement the following additional enhancements to its internal control over financial reporting that are designed to address the material weakness described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year:

•

A uniform centralized system for recording personnel time will be implemented at the foreign subsidiary, and employees will be trained with respect to the system’s functionality.

•

The reorganization of the management composition of the foreign subsidiary so as to assist in the acculturation of the subsidiary into the Company’s organizational culture.

•

The Company will issue a series of policies and procedures applicable to the foreign subsidiary, including but not limited to record retention, so as to improve the governance over the subsidiary.

•

On a quarterly basis, Company management will perform a detailed review of the recording of employee time, and the allocation of these personnel costs to the foreign subsidiary’s contracts.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ETC, our 95%-owned subsidiary, ETC-PZL Aerospace Industries SP. Z 0.0, ("ETC-PZL"), and our 99%-owned subsidiary, Environmental Tectonics Corporation (Europe) Limited ("ETC-Europe"). The Company's corporate headquarters and main production plant are located in Southampton, Pennsylvania, USA. ETC-PZL manufactures simulators and provides software to support our domestic products. ETC-Europe functions as a sales office in the United Kingdom. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by ETC, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America has been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations and the financial results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the full year's results; however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies during fiscal 2013 as compared to what was previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in ASU 2011-05 do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.

On June 8, 2012, the Company disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K that it would miss the extended deadline of June 8, 2012 to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year, which was subsequently filed on August 2, 2012. As disclosed by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed on May 24, 2012, the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year was related to an independent internal investigation of accounting practices at one of the Company's foreign subsidiaries that was being conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company discussed with PNC Bank the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year because the delay in filing would result in a breach of a covenant in the Company's line of credit, and the Company received from PNC Bank waivers through August 3, 2012, within which its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year has been filed; consequently, the Company did not breach a covenant in its line of credit and remains in compliance with its bank covenants. The delay in filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2012 fiscal year contributed to the delay in filing the Form 10-Q for the 2013 first quarter, as disclosed by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed on July 9, 2012.
