Page 6 of 15 IEC ELECTRONICS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 1, 2005 (1) Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies IEC Electronics Corp. ("IEC", the "Company") is an independent electronics manufacturing services ("EMS") provider of complex printed circuit board assemblies and electronic products and systems. The Company provides high quality electronics manufacturing services with state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and production capacity. Utilizing automated manufacturing and test machinery and equipment, IEC provides manufacturing services employing surface mount technology ("SMT") and pin-through-hole ("PTH") interconnection technologies. As an independent full-service EMS provider, the Company offers its customers a wide range of manufacturing services, on either a turnkey or consignment basis. These services include product development, prototype assembly, material procurement, volume assembly, test engineering support, statistical quality assurance, order fulfillment, and repair services. The Company's strategy is to cultivate strong manufacturing relationships with established and emerging original equipment manufacturers. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEC and its wholly-owned subsidiary, IEC Electronicos de Mexico ("Mexico"), (collectively, "IEC"). Operations in Mexico were closed in July 2002. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. Revenue Recognition Revenue on product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. The Company generally obtains written purchase authorizations from its customers for a specified amount of product, at a specified price and considers delivery to have occurred at the time title to the product passes to the customer. Title passes to the customer according to the shipping terms negotiated between the Company and the customer. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company establishes an allowance for uncollectable trade accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management's evaluation of collectibility of open balances. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company's cash and cash equivalents are held and managed by institutions that follow the Company's investment policy. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments approximates carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturities and variable interest rates of the instruments, which approximate current market interest rates. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The major classifications of inventories are as follows at period end (in thousands): July 1, 2005 September 30, 2004 (Unaudited) Raw materials $ 831 $ 1,162 Work-in-process 229 711 Finished goods 4 9 ----------------- ---------------- $ 1,064 $ 1,882 Reclassifications Certain amounts in 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation. Unaudited Financial Statements The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of July 1, 2005, and for the nine months ended July 1, 2005 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financia1 information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September 30, 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Page 7 of 15 IEC ELECTRONICS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 1, 2005 Earnings Per Share Net income per share is computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares outstanding, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options. New Pronouncements In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the Statement amends the previous disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported financial results and require these disclosures in interim financial information. IEC continues to account for stock-based employee compensation under APB Opinion 25, but has adopted the new disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs" (SFAS 151). This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to costs of conversion be based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for inventory cost incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 151 on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. SFAS 123R is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and, thus, will be effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Retroactive application of the provisions of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the effective date is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on its financial statements. On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". SFAS No. 153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement in APB Opinion No. 29 for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance of SFAS No. 153. The Company has not yet determined the effect of adopting this standard. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 154 on its consolidated financial statements. (2) Financing Agreements The Company's financing agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, limitations on the amount available under the revolving line of credit relative to the borrowing base, capital expenditures, fixed charge coverage ratios, and minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). The Company was compliant with these covenants on July 1, 2005. Page 8 of 15 IEC ELECTRONICS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JULY 1, 2005 (3) Stock Option Plans The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for its stock option plans. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as amended by SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure", requires disclosure of pro forma net income per share as if the fair valued-based method had been applied in measuring compensation cost for the stock-based awards. The following table illustrates the effect on net earnings and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation for all periods presented.

(4) Litigation Except as set forth below, there are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or to which any of the Company or its subsidiaries' property is subject. To our knowledge, there are no material legal proceedings to which any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, or any beneficial owner of more than 5 percent (5%) of Common Stock, or any associate of any of the foregoing, is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries. On August 13, 2003 General Electric Company ("GE") commenced an action in the state of Connecticut against the Company and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. The complaint was amended on February 13, 2004. The action alleges causes of action for breach of a manufacturing services contract, which had an initial value of $4.4 million, breach of express warranty, breach of implied warranty and a violation of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act. Vishay supplied a component that the Company used to assemble printed circuit boards for GE that GE contends failed to function properly requiring a product recall. GE claims damages "in excess of $15,000" plus interest and attorneys' fees. The Company has made a motion to dismiss the action in Connecticut for lack of jurisdiction and the motion is pending. The position of the Company is that the contract with GE was substantially completed and that it has meritorious defenses and basis for a cross claim against Vishay. On April 5, 2005 GE, IEC and Vishay participated in non-binding mediation, which did not result in a settlement. (5) Restructuring During May 2004, the Company commenced a restructuring initiative in an attempt to more closely align resources to customer requirements. The Company recorded $65,000 of expenses during the quarter ended July 1, 2005, and $120,000 of expenses during the nine month period ended July 1, 2005. Since May 2004, the Company has recorded $376,000 in restructuring costs. To date, the restructuring has resulted in the reduction of 57 employees. The annual savings to IEC will be $1,865,000. The company believes that most of it's restructuring initiatives have been completed, and that all payments will be made by September 30, 2005. (6) New Financing Agreement On January 7, 2005, IEC amended its Loan Agreement with Keltic Financial Partners LP. The agreement included a new $750,000 term loan, payment of the existing SunTrust Term Loan, a moratorium on principal payments until October 1, 2005, adjustments to the existing loan covenants, and a termination date of January 14, 2009. Page 9 of 15 Item 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - Three Months Ended July 1, 2005, Compared to the Three Months Ended June 25, 2004. Net sales for the three month period ended July 1, 2005, were $4.0 million, compared to $6.2 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 35 percent. The decrease in sales is due to a decline in orders from two of our major customers that was not completely offset by the addition of orders from new customers. Our five largest customers accounted for 75% of our sales for the quarter ended July 1, 2005, and 73% of our sales for the quarter ended June 25, 2004. Gross profit was $0.7 million or 17 percent of sales for the three month period ended July 1, 2005, versus ($0.2) million or (3) percent of sales in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The prior period results included a $394,000 charge for bad debts. The current quarter results include a reversal of $41,000 of excess worker's compensation provisions (see below). Without these items, gross profit increased from 3% in the prior period to 11% in the current period. The increase was primarily due to our restructuring efforts. Selling and administrative expenses were $0.5 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2005, and $0.7 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The reduction was primarily due to lower manufacturing representative commissions. Selling and administrative expenses were 12 percent of sales during the current period, compared to 11 percent of sales during the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The current quarter results include a reversal of $9,000 of excess worker's compensation provisions (see below). We reversed $50,000 from our worker's compensation accrual during the current fiscal period. This reversal is due to a favorable buy-out offer we received from our former (1993 - 1996) worker's compensation insurance provider. Restructuring costs were $65,000 for the three month period ended July 1, 2005. The costs were due to severance of fourteen employees. The company expects to save $380,000 annually due to this action. Interest expense was $79,000 for the three month period ended July 1, 2005, down from $90,000 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Reported interest expense includes both interest on money that is being borrowed at negotiated rates of interest ($21,000), plus fees and amortization of loan origination costs (58,000). Other income was $10,000 for the three month period ended July 1, 2005 versus $0 for the three month period ended June 25, 2004. The other income was primarily due to gains on the sale of excess equipment. Net income for the three months ended July 1, 2005 was $78,000 versus a net loss of $(1,146,000) in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Diluted income per share was $0.01 as compared to diluted income per share of $(.14) in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Page 10 of 15 Item 2 -- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended July 1, 2005, Compared to the Nine Months Ended June 25, 2004. Net sales for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005, were $14.9 million, compared to $20 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, a decrease of 25 percent. The decrease in sales is due to a decline in orders from two of our major customers that was not completely offset by the addition of orders from new customers. Our five largest customers accounted for 72% of our sales for the nine months ended July 1, 2005, and 81% of our sales for the nine months ended June 25, 2004. Gross profit was $2.1 million or 14 percent of sales for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005, versus $1.1 million or 6 percent of sales in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The prior period results included a $394,000 charge for bad debts. The current year results include a reversal of $157,000 of excess worker's compensation provisions (see below). Without these items, gross profit increased from 8% in the prior period to 13% in the current period. The increase was primarily due to our restructuring efforts. Selling and administrative expenses were $1.7 million for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005, and $1.9 million for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The reduction was primarily due to lower manufacturing representative commissions. Selling and administrative expenses were 11 percent of sales during the current period, compared to 9 percent of sales during the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The current quarter results include a reversal of $39,000 of excess worker's compensation provisions (see below). The percentage increase is due to fixed costs being spread over fewer sales. We reversed $196,000 from our worker's compensation accrual during the current fiscal period. This reversal is due to a favorable buy-out offer we received from our former (1993 - 1996) worker's compensation insurance provider. Restructuring costs were $120,000 for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005. The costs were due to severance of thirty eight employees. The company expects to save $1,123,000 annually due to this action. Interest expense was $278,000 for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005 versus $275,000 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Reported interest expense includes both interest on money that is being borrowed at negotiated rates of interest ($91,000), plus fees and amortization of loan origination costs ($187,000). Other income was $195,000 for the nine month period ended July 1, 2005, and $312,000 for the nine month period ended June 25, 2004. The other income for both periods was primarily due to gains on the sale of excess equipment. We reported $28,000 of income from discontinued operations during the current fiscal period. This income was due to an asset tax refund that was greater than what we had previously reported on our balance sheet. Net income for the nine months ended July 1, 2005 was $234,000 versus a net loss of $(890,000) in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Diluted income per share was $0.03 as compared to diluted loss per share of $(0.11) in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Page 11 of 15 Liquidity and Capital Resources Cash flow provided by operating activities was $1.7 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2005 compared to ($0.4) million for the nine months ended June 25, 2004. The improved cash flow during fiscal 2005 versus 2004 is primarily due to a reduction in accounts receivable and inventory. Working capital on July 1, 2005 totaled $1.9 million, compared to $0.7 million in the same period of the prior year. At July 1, 2005, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The maximum borrowing limit under our revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $3.8 million or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivables borrowing base and 35% of the inventory borrowing base. Availability under the line of credit was $1.9 million on July 1, 2005. We believe that our liquidity is adequate to cover operating requirements for the next 12 months. We also have a term loan of $750,000 that is secured by a first mortgage on the IEC plant in Newark, New York (the "Real Estate Loan"), and a second term loan of $108,000, that is secured by machinery and equipment (the "Equipment Loan"). The Real Estate Loan is payable in 39 monthly installments of $12,500 commencing October 1, 2005, and a final payment of the remaining balance on January 1, 2009. The Equipment Loan is payable in 6 monthly installments of $16,667 commencing October 1, 2005, and a final payment of the remaining balance on April 1, 2006. Each loan has an interest rate of prime plus 2.0%. The financing agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants including, among others, limitations on the amount available under the revolving line of credit relative to the borrowing base, capital expenditures, fixed charge coverage ratios, and minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). We were compliant with these covenants at July 1, 2005. Application of Critical Accounting Policies Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, accounting for legal contingencies and accounting for income taxes. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. We evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated discounted future cash flows associated with them. At the time such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values. We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", requires that an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact our financial position or our results of operations. Page 12 0f 15 Impact of Inflation The impact of inflation on our operations has been minimal due to the fact that we have been able to adjust our bids to reflect any inflationary increases in costs. New Pronouncements In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 148, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure". SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, the Statement amends the previous disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported financial results and require these disclosures in interim financial information. IEC continues to account for stock-based employee compensation under APB Opinion 25, but has adopted the new disclosure requirements of SFAS 148 beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2003. In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151 "Inventory Costs" (SFAS 151). This statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to costs of conversion be based upon the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for inventory cost incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions at the beginning of fiscal 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 151 on its consolidated financial statements. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R), which requires companies to measure and recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments at fair value. SFAS 123R is effective for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and, thus, will be effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Retroactive application of the provisions of SFAS 123R to the beginning of the fiscal year that includes the effective date is permitted, but not required. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123R on its financial statements. On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29". SFAS No. 153 replaces the exception from fair value measurement in APB Opinion No. 29 for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets with a general exception from fair value measurement for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. SFAS No. 153 is to be applied prospectively, and is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after the date of issuance of SFAS No. 153. We have not yet determined the effect of adopting this standard. In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3" ("SFAS 154"). SFAS 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. These requirements apply to all voluntary changes and changes required by an accounting pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition provisions. SFAS 154 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. As such, the Company is required to adopt these provisions for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 154 on its consolidated financial statements. Item 3 -- Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of IEC due to adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. One exposure is directly related to our Term Loan and Revolving Credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement, due to their variable interest rate pricing. Management believes that interest rate fluctuations will not have a material impact on IEC's results of operations. Page 13 of 15 Item 4 -- Controls and Procedures Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) as of July 1, 2005. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 1, 2005. There were no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2005, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
