Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 1 - Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, have been included in order to make the information not misleading. Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2014 has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended October 31, 2014 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2015. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2014.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ending on or before October 31, 2014 include the accounts of RF Industries, Ltd. and Cables Unlimited, Inc. (“Cables Unlimited”), a wholly-owned subsidiary. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended April 30, 2015 include the accounts of RF Industries, Ltd., Cables Unlimited and Comnet Telecom Supply, Inc. (“Comnet”), a wholly-owned subsidiary that RF Industries, Ltd. acquired effective November 1, 2014. For periods ending on or before October 31, 2014, references herein to the “Company” shall refer to RF Industries, Ltd. and Cables Unlimited, and for all periods after October 31, 2014, references to the “Company” shall refer to RF Industries, Ltd., Cables Unlimited and Comnet, collectively. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales after purchase orders are received which contain a fixed price and the products are shipped. Most of the Company’s products are sold to continuing customers with established credit histories.
