THE LGL GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Subsidiaries of the Registrant

The LGL Group, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated in 1928 under the laws of the State of Indiana and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2007, is a holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of highly-engineered, highreliability frequency and spectrum control products used to control the frequency or timing of signals in electronic circuits, and in the design of high performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications.

As of June 30, 2017, the subsidiaries of the Company were as follows:  

	Owned By The LGL Group, Inc.
M-tron Industries, Inc.		100.0%
Piezo Technology, Inc.		100.0%
Piezo Technology India Private Ltd.		99.0%
M-tron Asia, LLC		100.0%
M-tron Industries, Ltd.		100.0%
GC Opportunities Ltd.		100.0%
M-tron Services, Ltd.		100.0%
Precise Time and Frequency, LLC		100.0%
Lynch Systems, Inc.		100.0%

The Company operates through its two principal subsidiaries, M-tron Industries, Inc. (“MtronPTI”), which includes the operations of Piezo Technology, Inc. ("PTI") and M-tron Asia, LLC ("Mtron"), and Precise Time and Frequency, LLC ("PTF"), a subsidiary formed to hold the assets of Precise Time and Frequency, Inc. acquired September 2, 2016. Additionally, the Company operates in two identified segments. The first segment, the electronic components segment, is focused on the design and manufacture of highly-engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products.  These electronic components ensure reliability and security in aerospace and defense communications, low noise and base accuracy for laboratory instruments, and synchronous data transfers throughout the wireless and Internet infrastructure. The second segment, the electronic instruments segment, is focused on the design and manufacture of high performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications. The Company has operations in Orlando, Florida, Yankton, South Dakota, Wakefield, Massachusetts and Noida, India and sales offices in Sacramento, California, Austin, Texas and Hong Kong.

B. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2017.

This interim information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto set forth in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 29, 2017, as amended. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should also be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

C. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. The Company reduces the value of its inventories to net realizable value market value when the net realizable value is believed to be less than the cost of the item.  The inventory reserve for obsolescence as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was $2,838,000 and $2,773,000, respectively.

6

Inventories are comprised of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
Raw materials	$	1,586	$	1,408
Work in process		1,498		1,306
Finished goods		998		924
Total Inventories, net	$	4,082	$	3,638

D. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization which is included in engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range up to 10 years. The intangible assets consist of intellectual property and goodwill. The net carrying value of the amortizable intangible assets was $550,000 and $588,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Goodwill, which is not amortizable, was $40,000 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The estimated aggregate amortization expense for intangible assets, excluding goodwill, for the remaining portion of 2017 and each of the four succeeding years and thereafter is as follows (in thousands):

2017	$	37
2018		75
2019		75
2020		75
2021		75
Thereafter		213
Total	$	550

E. CNB Loan

On September 30, 2016, MtronPTI renewed its Loan Agreement (the “CNB Loan Agreement”) with City National Bank of Florida (“City National”). The CNB Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $3.0 million (the “CNB Revolver”), which bears interest at a variable rate equal to the 30-day London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 200 basis points to be set on the first day of each month, and expires on September 30, 2018. The CNB Loan Agreement also provides that MtronPTI will pay City National a fee equal to 0.75% per year on the daily unused amount. The Company's obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement are secured only by cash collateral and do not require any other liens.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no balance outstanding under the CNB Revolver and no associated restricted cash.

F. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility is indicative of expected volatility over the life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.

Restricted stock awards are made at a value equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $51,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

7

G. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260").  Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share adjusts basic income (loss) per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic income (loss) per share.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were options to purchase 105,135 shares and 117,226 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase 519,241 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		2,675,465		2,665,434		2,675,465		2,665,434
Effect of diluted securities		12,309		—		12,662		—
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		2,687,774		2,665,434		2,688,127		2,665,434

H. Stockholders’ Equity

On August 29, 2011, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws. This authorization increased the total number of shares authorized and available for repurchase under the Company's existing share repurchase program to 540,000 shares, at such times, amounts and prices as the Company shall deem appropriate. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased a total of 81,584 shares of common stock at a cost of $580,000, which shares are currently held in treasury.

On August 6, 2013, the Company distributed warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as a dividend to holders of the Company's common stock as of July 29, 2013, the record date for the dividend. Stockholders received five warrants for each share of the Company's common stock owned on the record date. When exercisable, 25 warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment).

The warrants are "European style warrants" and will only become exercisable on the earlier of (i) their expiration date, August 6, 2018, and (ii) such date that the 30-day volume weighted average price per share, or VWAP, of the Company's common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 (subject to adjustment). Once the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement between the Company and the warrant agent until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the expiration date.

The warrants are quoted on the over-the-counter market under the symbol "LGLPW."

I. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value guidance identifies three primary valuation techniques: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.  The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.  The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The maximization of observable inputs and the minimization of the use of unobservable inputs are required.

Classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the objectivity of the inputs that are significant to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are characterized as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include:  quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. These inputs may include internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Assets

To estimate the market value of its marketable securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands).

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total June 30, 2017
Marketable Securities (equity securities)	$	3,813	$	—	$	—	$	3,813

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total December 31, 2016
Marketable Securities (equity securities)	$	2,770	$	—	$	—	$	2,770
U.S. Treasury securities (cash equivalents)	$	1,002	$	—	$	—	$	1,002

There were no transfers from level 2 to level 3 during the periods presented. There were no level 2 or 3 assets as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company also has assets that may be subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including goodwill and intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. There were no liabilities subject to fair value on a non-recurring or recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company reviews goodwill and the carrying value of long-lived assets at least annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the assets are impaired, the carrying value would be reduced to estimated fair value.

M. Related Party Transactions

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, approximately $3,763,000 and $2,714,000, respectively, was invested in a market neutral mutual fund which is included in marketable securities on the accompanying balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016, approximately $1,002,000 was also invested in a United States Treasury money market fund which is included in cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying balance sheet. Both the market neutral mutual fund and the United States Treasury money market fund are managed by a related entity (the "Fund Manager"), which is related through a common director. One of the Company's directors, who is also a 10% stockholder, currently serves as an executive officer of the Fund Manager. The fund transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and for the year-ended December 31, 2016 were directed solely at the discretion of Company management.

N.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early application is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016–09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share–Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016–09"). ASU 2016-9 simplifies the accounting for share–based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016–09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements because there are no material operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016–01, "Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(Topic 825)" ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU No. 2016–01 revises the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for certain financial liabilities measured at fair value.  ASU No. 2016–01 requires the change in fair value of many equity investments to be recognized in net income.  ASU No. 2016–01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.   Adopting ASU No. 2016–01 may result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company's retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016–01.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified as noncurrent, eliminating the prior requirement to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," ("ASU 2014-15") which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2016 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

11

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014–09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09")", also known as the "New Revenue Standard". This update is the result of a collaborative effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify revenue recognition guidance, remove inconsistencies in the application of revenue recognition, and to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive for those goods or services. The New Revenue Standard is applied through the following five-step process:

1.  Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

2.  Identify the performance obligation in the contract.

3.  Determine the transaction price.

4.  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5.  Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

For a public entity, this update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.  This standard can be applied on either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Through the course of 2016 a number of ASU's had been issued which further refine the original guidance issued under ASU 2014-09 and are effective in conjunction with this original standard. The Company is determining its implementation approach and evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures. The Company's revenues are generally derived from purchase orders and standard contracts and performance obligation criteria are normally met at shipping point with no other material performance obligation.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2017 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to three months ended June 30, 2016

Consolidated Revenues, Gross Margin and Backlog

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $5,859,000, an increase of $628,000, or 12.0%, from revenues of $5,231,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  Approximately 63.0% of the increase is attributable to revenue growth in the Aerospace and Defense ("Aero/Defense") market segment as we strategically transition away from low margin, commodity markets toward higher value, specialized products. The remaining 37.0% of the increase is being driven by PTF, which we acquired in September 2016.

Consolidated gross margin, which is consolidated revenues less manufacturing cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues decreased to 31.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from 33.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in gross margin was attributable to approximately $400,000 of lower margin, introductory projects which are expected to lead to follow-on projects with margins ranging from 32.0% to 38.0%.

As of June 30, 2017, our order backlog was $10,877,000, which is flat when compared to the back log at March 31, 2017 and an increase of 12.3% when compared to a backlog of $9,679,000 as of June 30, 2016. The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as agreed letters of intent, which we have determined are firm orders likely to be fulfilled in the next 12 months.

Order backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any.  We expect to fill our entire order backlog within the next twelve months, but cannot provide assurances as to what portion of the order backlog will be fulfilled in a given year.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income was $44,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $26,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. A decrease in engineering, selling and administrative costs was able to offset a portion of the decline in gross margin, resulting in the modest improvement in operating income.

Other Income (Expense), Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, other income, net was $1,000 compared to other expense, net of ($11,000) for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The current period consists of ($5,000) of interest expense offset by $6,000 of foreign currency transaction gains on settled transactions. The prior period consists of ($7,000) of interest expense, a ($7,000) loss on the disposal of fixed assets offset by $3,000 of foreign currency transaction gains on settled transactions.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

We recorded a tax provision of ($25,000) and a tax benefit of $1,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Based on our assessment of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we have determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets generated from foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”), can be utilized in the foreseeable future and a valuation allowance for these assets is not required. We also determined that a full valuation against the remaining U.S net deferred tax assets is required and have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Should a change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years, we will adjust related valuation allowances in the period that the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or charge to income.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $20,000 compared to $16,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.01.

Stock-Based Compensation

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, stock-based compensation expense was $8,000 and $3,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to stock-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $51,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements.

Six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to six months ended June 30, 2016

Consolidated Revenues, Gross Margin and Backlog

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $11,483,000, an increase of $1,496,000, or 15.0%, from revenues of $9,987,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Approximately 69.0% of the increase is being driven by management’s strategy to move away from low margin commodities business and focus on achieving revenue growth through the development of more complex, higher margin products, particularly in the Aero/Defense market segment. The remaining 31.0% of the increase is being driven by PTF, which we acquired in September 2016.

Consolidated gross margin, which is consolidated revenues less manufacturing cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues increased to 34.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 32.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase is due primarily to the 15.0% increase in revenues.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income was $152,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to an operating loss of ($136,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The improvement was due to the 15.0% increase in revenue offset partially by an increase in engineering, selling and administrative costs. 

Other Income (Expense), Net

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, other income, net was $7,000 compared to $25,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The current period consists of $18,000 of foreign currency transaction gains on settled transactions offset by ($11,000) of interest expense. The prior period consists of $36,000 of net insurance proceeds, $2,000 of foreign currency transaction gains on settled transactions and ($13,000) of interest expense.

Income Tax (Provision) Benefit

We recorded a tax provision of ($28,000) and a tax benefit of $1,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

14

Based on our assessment of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable tax attributes in future tax returns in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we have determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets generated from foreign NOLs can be utilized in the foreseeable future and a valuation allowance for these assets is not required. We also determined that a full valuation against the remaining U.S net deferred tax assets is required and have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Should a change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years, we will adjust related valuation allowances in the period that the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or charge to income.

Net Income (Loss)

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $131,000 compared to a net loss of ($110,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $0.05 and ($0.04), respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

For the six months ended June 30, 2017 stock-based compensation expense was $15,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, stock-based compensation expense was ($13,000) due to the effect of forfeitures. Compensation expense related to stock-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $51,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation arrangements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, cash and cash equivalents were $2,158,000 and $2,778,000, respectively. In December 2016 and January 2017, we transferred certain investments in U.S. Treasury securities (cash equivalents) to equity securities, which are classified as marketable securities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Cash provided by operating activities was $410,000 and $43,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The $367,000 increase was due primarily to an improvement in net income (loss) of $241,000, a year-over-year increase in non-cash adjustments for depreciation, stock-based compensation, gain on disposal of assets and a deferred tax benefit totaling $9,000, an $18,000 increase in deferred tax provision and a year-over year increase in working capital accounts of $99,000.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was ($1,030,000) and ($33,000), respectively. The increase in the use of cash was primarily due to the transfer of certain investments in U.S. Treasury securities to equity securities, which are classified as an investing activity on our consolidated statements of cash flows and the effect from insurance proceeds received in 2016 of $43,000, offset by a decline in capital expenditures from the six months ended June 30, 2016 of $48,000.

There were no financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

As of June 30, 2017, our consolidated working capital was $10,659,000 compared to $10,135,000 as of December 31, 2016.  As of June 30, 2017, we had current assets of $13,325,000, current liabilities of $2,666,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 5.00:1.00 As of December 31, 2016 we had current assets of $12,890,000, current liabilities of $2,755,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 4.68:1.00. Management continues to focus on efficiently managing working capital requirements to match operating activity levels.

On September 30, 2016, MtronPTI renewed the CNB Loan Agreement with City National. The CNB Loan Agreement provides for the CNB Revolver in the amount of $3.0 million, which bears interest at a variable rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points to be set on the first day of each month, and expires on September 30, 2018. The CNB Loan Agreement also provides that MtronPTI will pay City National a fee equal to 0.75% per year on the daily unused amount. Our obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement are secured only by cash collateral and do not require any other liens.

In connection with the CNB Loan Agreement, MtronPTI also entered into a Cash Collateral Agreement with City National (the "CNB Cash Collateral Agreement") and delivered a Revolving Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3.0 million to City National (the "CNB Revolving Promissory Note").

The CNB Cash Collateral Agreement provides that MtronPTI will hold cash collateral equal to any amounts outstanding under the CNB Revolver in a non-interest bearing deposit account with City National. Provided that MtronPTI is not in default of any of its obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement, the CNB Revolving Promissory Note or the CNB Cash Collateral Agreement, the funds collateralizing the CNB Revolver are restricted only to the extent of the outstanding principal amount under the CNB Revolver. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no balance outstanding under the CNB Revolver and no associated restricted cash.

15

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations and available line of credit will be sufficient to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.  However, we may seek additional capital to fund future growth in its business, to provide flexibility to respond to dynamic market conditions, or to fund our strategic growth objectives.  

Our Board has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends.  This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential technology acquisitions or other strategic ventures, and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings.  No cash dividends have been paid to the Company's stockholders since January 30, 1989, and none are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our accounting policies and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been established to conform with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We believe we have made these estimates and assumptions in an appropriate manner and in a way that accurately reflects our financial condition. We continually test and evaluate these estimates and assumptions using historical knowledge of the business, as well as other factors, to ensure that they are reasonable for reporting purposes. However, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions. We believe that the accounting policies related to the following accounts or activities are those that are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require the more significant judgments and estimates:

• Revenue recognition;

• Accounts receivable allowance;

• Inventory valuation;

• Intangible assets;

• Income taxes; and

• Segment information.

There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in Note A – Accounting and Reporting Policies to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, as amended.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and we necessarily were required to apply our judgment in evaluating whether the benefits of the controls and procedures that we adopt outweigh their costs.

16

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2017 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2017, were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Exhibit 31.1

CERTIFICATION OF THE PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER

PURSUANT TO SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, Michael J. Ferrantino, Sr., certify that:

1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of The LGL Group, Inc. for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2017;

Stock-Based Compensation

F. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility is indicative of expected volatility over the life of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option.

Restricted stock awards are made at a value equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods. As of June 30, 2017, there was approximately $51,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

G. Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260").  Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share adjusts basic income (loss) per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic income (loss) per share.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, there were options to purchase 105,135 shares and 117,226 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase 519,241 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted income (loss) per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,

Stockholders' Equity

H. Stockholders’ Equity

On August 29, 2011, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws. This authorization increased the total number of shares authorized and available for repurchase under the Company's existing share repurchase program to 540,000 shares, at such times, amounts and prices as the Company shall deem appropriate. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased a total of 81,584 shares of common stock at a cost of $580,000, which shares are currently held in treasury.

On August 6, 2013, the Company distributed warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as a dividend to holders of the Company's common stock as of July 29, 2013, the record date for the dividend. Stockholders received five warrants for each share of the Company's common stock owned on the record date. When exercisable, 25 warrants will entitle the holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment).

The warrants are "European style warrants" and will only become exercisable on the earlier of (i) their expiration date, August 6, 2018, and (ii) such date that the 30-day volume weighted average price per share, or VWAP, of the Company's common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 (subject to adjustment). Once the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement between the Company and the warrant agent until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the expiration date.

The warrants are quoted on the over-the-counter market under the symbol "LGLPW."

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value guidance identifies three primary valuation techniques: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.  The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.  The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).  The maximization of observable inputs and the minimization of the use of unobservable inputs are required.

Classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the objectivity of the inputs that are significant to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are characterized as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include:  quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. These inputs may include internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Assets

To estimate the market value of its marketable securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands).

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total June 30, 2017
Marketable Securities (equity securities)	$	3,813	$	—	$	—	$	3,813

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total December 31, 2016
Marketable Securities (equity securities)	$	2,770	$	—	$	—	$	2,770
U.S. Treasury securities (cash equivalents)	$	1,002	$	—	$	—	$	1,002

There were no transfers from level 2 to level 3 during the periods presented. There were no level 2 or 3 assets as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016. The Company also has assets that may be subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including goodwill and intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. There were no liabilities subject to fair value on a non-recurring or recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company reviews goodwill and the carrying value of long-lived assets at least annually or whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the assets are impaired, the carrying value would be reduced to estimated fair value.

New Accounting Pronouncements And Changes In Accounting Principles [Abstract]

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

N.Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows – (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early application is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2016–09, "Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share–Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016–09"). ASU 2016-9 simplifies the accounting for share–based payment award transactions including: income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. The adoption of ASU 2016–09 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016–02, "Leases (Topic 842)." The objective of this update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual periods and is to be applied utilizing a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements because there are no material operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016–01, "Financial Instruments – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(Topic 825)" ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU No. 2016–01 revises the classification and measurement of investments in certain equity investments and the presentation of certain fair value changes for certain financial liabilities measured at fair value.  ASU No. 2016–01 requires the change in fair value of many equity investments to be recognized in net income.  ASU No. 2016–01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted.   Adopting ASU No. 2016–01 may result in a cumulative effect adjustment to the Company's retained earnings as of the beginning of the year of adoption.  The Company is currently evaluating the potential effects of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2016–01.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes," which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under the new accounting standard, deferred tax assets and liabilities are required to be classified as noncurrent, eliminating the prior requirement to separate deferred tax assets and liabilities into current and noncurrent. The adoption of ASU 2015-17 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern," ("ASU 2014-15") which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued. An entity must provide certain disclosures if conditions or events raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this guidance as of December 31, 2016 and it did not have a material impact on its financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014–09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09")", also known as the "New Revenue Standard". This update is the result of a collaborative effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to simplify revenue recognition guidance, remove inconsistencies in the application of revenue recognition, and to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets.  The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to receive for those goods or services. The New Revenue Standard is applied through the following five-step process:

1.  Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

2.  Identify the performance obligation in the contract.

3.  Determine the transaction price.

4.  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

5.  Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

For a public entity, this update is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with early adoption permitted.  This standard can be applied on either a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Through the course of 2016 a number of ASU's had been issued which further refine the original guidance issued under ASU 2014-09 and are effective in conjunction with this original standard. The Company is determining its implementation approach and evaluating the potential impacts of the new standard on its existing revenue recognition policies and procedures. The Company's revenues are generally derived from purchase orders and standard contracts and performance obligation criteria are normally met at shipping point with no other material performance obligation.

No other new accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the six months ended June 30, 2017 have had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
