The accompanying notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.

1.  Basis of Presentation: 

    The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Technology Research Corporation (the "Company") Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2005. 

    The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim period presented. 

2.  Earnings (loss) per share:

    Basic earnings (loss) per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.

    Diluted earnings (loss) per share have been computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  The weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding has been adjusted to include the number of shares that would have been outstanding if the stock options had been exercised, at the average market price of the period, with the proceeds being used to buy shares from the market.  
 
    The table below reconciles the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:

    For the three-month period and six-month period ended September 30, 2005, options to purchase 657,852 and 531,900 shares of common stock, respectively, were considered anti-dilutive for the purposes of calculating earnings per share.  For the three-month and six-month period ended September 30, 2004, shares 246,400 of common stock were considered anti-dilutive for purposes of calculating earnings per share.
 
3.  Short-term investments: 

    Short-term investments totaled $1,169 as of September 30, 2005 and consisted of corporate securities.  As of March 31, 2005, short-term investments totaled $487,072 and consisted of corporate securities of $2,079 and original cost plus accrued interest on U.S. Treasury Bills in the amount of $484,993.  The Company considers all of its short-term investments to be held-to-maturity, and therefore, are recorded at amortized cost.

4.  Inventories:

    Inventories consist of the following:

Total     $ 12,005,117       11,460,302  
 
 
 

5. Warranty: 

    The Company generally provides a one year warranty period for all of its products.  The Company also provides coverage on certain of its surge products for "downstream" damage of products not manufactured by the Company.  The Company's warranty provision represents management's best estimate of probable liabilities, calculated as a function of sales volume and historical repair experience for each product under warranty.  A roll-forward of the activity in the Company's warranty liability for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is as follows:

6.  Debt: 
 
    On December 20, 2004, the Company renegotiated the revolving credit agreement with its institutional lender, extending the maturity date to December 14, 2006.  The new facility provides for borrowings up to $6,000,000.  The Company has the option of borrowing at the lender's prime rate of interest minus 100 basis points or the 30-day London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 160 basis points.  The Company is currently borrowing under the LIBOR option (5.46% as of September 30, 2005).  The loan is collateralized with a perfected first security interest which attaches to all of its accounts receivable and inventories, and a blanket security interest attaching to all of its assets, and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum working capital.  As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $4,560,200 in outstanding borrowings, of which $2,210,200 was recorded as short-term debt and $2,350,000 was recorded as long-term debt.  The Company has the right to prepay any outstanding borrowings at any time and intends to repay the $2,210,200 prior to September 30, 2006, and accordingly, the Company has classified this amount as a current liability.  The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2005.
 
    On April 14, 2005, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 six-month term loan agreement with its institutional lender.  This credit facility will only be used in the event that the Company's cash requirements extend beyond the existing line of credit noted above.  The provisions of the term loan agreement are substantively identical to those of the existing line of credit.  No borrowings have been made under this term loan agreement.  On October 13, 2005, this credit facility was extended for 90 days maturing on January 14, 2006.
 
7.  Stock-Based Compensation: 
 
    The Company accounts for stock options at intrinsic value in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"), and related interpretations.  Had compensation cost for the Company’s stock options been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under the plans consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123"), the Company’s net income (loss) would have been adjusted to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

    In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board published Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123R"), which is effective for small business issuers from the first annual period that begins after December 15, 2005, that will require compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions, including stock options, be recognized in the financial statements.  Accordingly, the Company will implement the revised standard in its first quarter ending June 30, 2006.  Currently, the Company accounts for its share-based payment transactions under the provisions of APB 25, which does not necessarily require the recognition of compensation cost in the consolidated statement of operations.

    On May 24, 2005, in response to SFAS 123R, the Company's Board of Directors approved accelerating the vesting of all out-of-the-money, unvested stock options held by current employees, including executive officers and directors, effective May 25, 2005.  An option is considered out-of-the-money if, on the effective date, the stated option exercise price was greater than the closing price of the Company's common stock, $5.07.  The decision to accelerate vesting of these options was made primarily to avoid recognizing significant compensation cost in the Company's future financial statements upon the effectiveness of SFAS 123R.
 
    Stock compensation expense, net of tax, in the amount of $30,720 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was related to the acceleration of the unvested stock options for Jerry T. Kendall, former President and Chief Executive Officer, as specified in his Seperation from Service Agreement dated August 1, 2005.

OVERVIEW

    Technology Research Corporation was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida in 1981 (the "Company" or "TRC").  TRC is an internationally recognized leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of electrical safety products that save lives, protect people against serious injury from electrical shock and/or prevent electrical fires in the home and workplace.  Based on its core technology in ground fault sensing and leakage current detection, the Company's products are designed to meet the needs of the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide.  TRC also supplies power monitoring and control equipment to the United States military and its prime contractors of its tactical vehicles, naval vessels and mobile electric generators.
 
    The Company's core commercial and military product applications form the foundation upon which its technological expertise may be further refined and applied to new product offerings and resulting business expansion.  The Company's Fire Shield® and Surge Guard Plus™ product lines are examples of such a strategy, and the Company is now focused on developing the markets for these products to their full potential.  A significant opportunity for the Company's commercial market expansion was recently created by the adoption of the Underwriter's Laboratory ("UL") requirement for cord fire protection on room air conditioners ("RAC") manufactured for domestic sale after August 1, 2004.  The Company's Fire Shield® LCDI Power Cord effectively responds to such requirement, and the Company will continue to pursue additional UL mandates for other applications which could benefit from the Company's technologies.
 
    The Company's revenues related to the new RAC market in fiscal 2005 were approximately $12.5 million, and based upon the orders that the Company has received through the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, the Company expects continued growth in this market in fiscal 2006.  Revenues relating to the Company's RAC products are seasonal with the majority of revenues being generated during the Company's first, third and fourth fiscal quarters.  The Company expects to achieve modest growth in its non-RAC commercial products with military revenues remaining steady in fiscal 2006 compared to fiscal 2005.  
 

    The Company’s primary challenge for fiscal 2005 was to penetrate the new RAC market.  In implementing its plan to support this new market, the Company incurred additional operating expenses and start-up costs, including those associated with manufacturing inefficiencies, warranty repair costs, freight expense and higher than expected material costs, all of which negatively impacted net income.  The timing and customization of RAC orders and the implementation and coordination of ramping up its manufacturing plant in Honduras and bringing on line several Far East contract manufacturers in a compressed time frame presented significant challenges in meeting the demands of this new market.  The first RAC season effectively ended during the month of May, and except for certain RAC products which are shipped year round, the next RAC season is expected to begin in November and run through May of 2006.  Although the Company's financial results for the six-month period ended September 20, 2005 continued to be affected by high costs and low margins related to the RAC market, the Company believes it is better positioned to perform more efficiently for this application in fiscal 2006.  The Company plans to leverage its fiscal 2005 capital investment and expanded manufacturing capabilities to more efficiently penetrate the RAC market in subsequent years and increase net income.
 
    The Company's operating strategy is based on these key objectives:
  • to increase profitability by improving operating efficiencies;
  • to strengthen and expand its markets and distribution channels;
  • to broaden the applications within target markets for its existing products;
  • to expand the scope of its product content;
  • to expand its manufacturing capabilities;
  • to maintain a conservative capital structure; and
  • to pursue strategic acquisitions to the extent favorable opportunities are presented.
    Actual results could, however, differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of its forward-looking statements within this report.  The Company's future financial condition and results of operations, as well as its operational and financial expectations, are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.  Some, but not all, of the factors impacting these risks and uncertainties are set forth below in the section entitled Factors Affecting Future Results.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
    Revenues for the second quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $8,661,685 compared to $7,069,527 reported in the same quarter last year, an increase of 22.5%.  Commercial revenues increased by $1,305,969 and military revenues increased by $290,940 and royalty income decreased by $4,751.
 
    Revenues for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 were $19,238,435 compared to $14,200,471 reported in the same period of the prior year, an increase of 35.5%.  Commercial revenues increased by $5,457,337 and military revenues and royalty income decreased by $361,991 and $57,382, respectively.  
 
    The increase in commercial revenues for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same periods of the prior year, was primarily attributed to RAC product shipments, and to a lesser extent product expansion into retail stores and brand label shipments.  The Company expects continued growth in its commercial revenues in fiscal 2006 with seasonal low revenues in its second quarter ended September 30, 2005.  Military revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2005 decreased due to (i) a delay in certain follow-on releases of existing contracts for control devices related to the Tactical Quiet Generator ("TQG") programs; and (ii) certain direct military orders that could not be placed until June, when the Department of Defense released supplemental spending for its fiscal 2005 year.  The release of these funds resulted in higher military revenues in the Company's second quarter ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same quarter last year.  The Company expects military sales in fiscal 2006 to remain comparable to fiscal 2005.  The decrease in royalty income for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005, compared to the same periods of the prior year, was due to non-recurring royalties, which were recorded in the prior year's quarter.  The Company does not expect to record any significant royalties in fiscal 2006.
 
    Gross profit was 20.5% of total revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to 30.3% in the same quarter last year.  The decrease in gross profit margin was due to product mix, plus product warranty cost, severance cost and high raw material costs, primarily those related to plastic and copper which the Company believes will remain at current levels throughout fiscal 2006.  The Company expects freight cost, however, to be reduced in fiscal 2006 as current inventories will be used in production builds during the second quarter in preparation for the RAC season which begins later in the year.  As a result, the Company will be able to deliver product to its RAC customers without incurring freight expediting charges, which were required in fiscal 2005.  In addition, the Company expects manufacturing efficiencies to improve as it shifts a portion of the RAC production load forward into its seasonally low production period and leverages off of the experience of the first RAC season. 
 
    Gross profit was 21.2% for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to 33.6% for the same period of the prior year.  The decrease was primarily related to those factors mentioned above.
 

    Selling and marketing expense was $566,991, or 6.5% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $592,370, or 8.4% of revenues, in the same quarter last year, a decrease of $25,379, or 4.3%.  In addition,  expenses as a percent of revenues decreased 1.9%, reflecting improved efficiency of selling and marketing resources. 

    For the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, selling and marketing expense was $1,206,877, or 6.3%, compared to $1,181,015, or 8.3%, for the same period last year, an increase of $25,862, or 2.2%; however, as a percent of revenues, expenses decreased 2.0%, reflecting improved efficiency of selling and marketing resources.  

    The increase in expense for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable periods was due to higher salary expense for additional personnel which was related to the support of the new RAC market.

    General and administrative expense was $950,008, or 11.0% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $581,844, or 8.2% of revenues, in the same quarter last year, an increase of $368,164, or 63.3%.  The expense increase quarter over quarter was due to (i) $155,682 in salaries, which was primarily related to the termination package for Jerry T. Kendall who resigned as President and CEO on August 1st; (ii) $119,270 in legal fees related to the Company's patent infringement suit against Tower Manufacturing Corporation and Fedders Corporation; (iii) $41,266 in additional shareholder/board of director expenses; (iv) $28,908 in additional audit and legal fees; (v) $11,808 for bank charges related to servicing additional debt; and (vi) $5,261 for consulting fees related to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley.  All other general and administrative expenses increased by $5,969 quarter over quarter. 
 
    For the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, general and administrative expense was $1,685,197, or 8.8% of revenues, compared to $1,149,997, or 8.1% of revenues, for the same period last year, an increase of $535,200, or 46.5%.  The expense increase for the six-month period was due to (i) $181,254 in legal fees related to the Company's patent infringement suit against Tower Manufacturing Corporation and Fedders Corporation; (ii) $154,145 in salaries, which was primarily related to the termination package for Jerry T. Kendall who resigned as President and CEO on August 1st; (iii) $55,181 in additional shareholder/board of director expenses; (iv) $50,510 for consulting fees related to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley; (v) $42,574 in additional audit and legal fees; (vi) $25,641 in accounts receivable write-offs; and (vii) $17,041 for bank charges related to servicing additional debt.  All other general and administrative expenses increased by $8,854 over the comparable period.
 
    Research and development expense was $538,018, or 6.2% of revenues, for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to $501,423, or 7.1% of revenues, in the same quarter last year, an increase of $36,595, or 7.3%; however, as a percent of revenues, expenses decreased 0.9%, reflecting improved efficiency of research and development resources. 
 
    For the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, research and development expense was $1,025,424, or 5.3% of revenues, compared to $967,894, or 6.8% of revenues, for the same period last year, an increase of $57,530, or 5.9%; however, as a percent of  revenues, research and development expense decreased 1.5%, reflecting improved efficiency. 
 
    The increase in expense for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable periods was due to higher salary expense for additional personnel which were related to the support of the new RAC market.
 
    Other income (expense) was an expense of $(54,155) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to income of $6,650 in the same quarter last year, a decrease of $60,805.  
 
    For the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, other income and expense was an expense of $(94,427), compared to income of $13,870 for the same period last year a decrease of $108,297. 
 
    The decrease for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable periods was attributed to interest expense associated with a higher loan balance and less cash and cash equivalent and short-term investment balances.  
 
    Income tax expense (benefit) as a percent of income or loss before income taxes were 25.9% and 20.0% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2005, compared to 33.0% for the three and six months ended September 30, 2004, respectively.  The Company's effective tax rate varies based on the mix of income before income taxes derived from the Company's Honduran subsidiary, which is not subject to income taxes, and the balance of income before income taxes, which is subject to income taxes.  At each reporting period, the Company makes its best estimate of the effective tax rate expected for the full fiscal year and applies that rate to the current year-to-date income before income taxes.  Any difference between the current and preceding estimated effective tax rate expected for the full fiscal year is reflected as an adjustment in the current quarter's income tax expense.  The Company's best estimate of the effective tax rate expected in fiscal 2006 is 20.0%, compared to the actual income tax rate of 23.3% recorded in fiscal 2005.  In accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company does not record deferred income taxes on the foreign undistributed earnings of an investment in a foreign subsidiary that is essentially permanent in duration.  The Company’s Honduran subsidiary is profitable which decreases the effective tax rate of the Company. If circumstances change, and it becomes apparent that some or all of the undistributed earnings of the subsidiary will be remitted in the foreseeable future, but U.S. income taxes have not been recognized by the Company, the Company will record as an expense of the current period the U.S. income taxes attributed to that remittance.
 
         Net income (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 was a net loss of $(244,743), compared to net income of $318,045, in the same quarter last year, a decrease of $562,788.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were $(.04) for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, compared to basic earnings of $.06 per share and diluted earnings of $.05 per share for the same quarter last year. 
 
    Net income for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005 was $48,092, compared to $991,715, for the same period in the prior year, a decrease of $943,623.  Basic and diluted earnings per share were $.01 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to basic and diluted earnings of $.17 for the same period of the prior year.  Net income (loss) for the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2005 over the comparable periods was negatively impacted by product mix plus product warranty cost, severance costs and high raw material costs as described above.
 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    As of September 30, 2005, the Company's cash and cash equivalents increased to $2,273,926 from the March 31, 2005 total of $815,411.  Cash provided by operating activities was $2,441,621, cash used by investing activities was $23,675 and cash used by financing activities was $959,431, resulting in a total increase of $1,458,515 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005. 
 
    Cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to depreciation in the amount of $625,348, a decrease in accounts receivable of $6,388,750, offset by a decrease in accounts payable of $3,884,515 and accrued expenses of $266,012 and an increase in inventories of $544,815.  The decrease in accounts receivable was due to collections resulting from the Company's RAC customers.  In general, due to the seasonality of the RAC market, accounts receivable and accounts payable will decrease in the Company's first and second fiscal quarters and increase in the Company's third and fourth fiscal quarters.  The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily the result of the Company's increased liquidity.  Inventory increased as a result of the Company preparing for the new RAC season, which begins in October/November and runs through April/May.
 
    Cash used by investing activities was for purchases of capital equipment offset by the redemption of short-term investments.  The Company’s capital expenditures were $509,675 for the six-month period ended September 30, 2005, compared to $2,269,051 for the same period last year, at which time the Company was tooling up for increased production to support the new RAC market in fiscal 2005.  The redemption of short-term investments was $486,000.
 
    Cash used by financing activities was primarily due to repayments of short-term debt in the amount of $10,200 and payment of $173,163 in cash dividends, offset by borrowings of short-term debt in the amount of $800,000.
 
    On December 20, 2004, the Company renegotiated the revolving credit agreement with its institutional lender, extending the maturity date to December 14, 2006.  The new facility provides for borrowings up to $6,000,000.  The Company has the option of borrowing at the lender's prime rate of interest minus 100 basis points or the 30-day London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 160 basis points.  The Company is currently borrowing under the LIBOR option (5.46% rate as of September 30, 2005).  The loan is collateralized with a perfected first security interest which attaches to all of its accounts receivable and inventories, and a blanket security interest attaching to all of its assets, and requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and minimum working capital.  As of September 30, 2005, the Company had $4,560,200 in outstanding borrowings, of which $2,210,200 was recorded as short-term debt and $2,350,000 was recorded as long-term debt, respectively.  The Company has the right to prepay any outstanding borrowings at any time and intends to repay the $2,210,200 prior to September 30, 2006, and accordingly, the Company has classified this amount as a current liability.  The Company was in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2005.
 
    On April 14, 2005, the Company entered into a $3,000,000 six-month term loan agreement with its institutional lender.  This credit facility will only be used in the event that the Company's cash requirements extend beyond the existing line of credit noted above.  The provisions of the term loan agreement are substantively identical to those of the existing line of credit.  No borrowings have been made under this term loan agreement.  On October 13, 2005, this credit facility was extended for 90 days maturing on January 14, 2006.
 
    The Company believes cash flow from operations, the available bank borrowings and cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements for the next 12 months.
 
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

    The Company does not have financial partnerships with unconsolidated entities, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, which are often established for the purposes of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.  As a result, the Company is not exposed to any financing , liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if the Company had such relationships.
 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
 
    In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 151 - Inventory Costs, to amend the guidance in Chapter 4, "Inventory Pricing", of FASB Accounting Research Bulletin No. 43, Restatement and Revision of Accounting Research Bulletins.  SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and waste material (spoilage).  The Statement requires that items be recognized as current-period charges.  Additionally, SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities.  The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
    In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  SFAS No. 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance.  This statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity for goods and services.  It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair market value of the entity's equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments.  The statement requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award.  That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.  This statement is effective for small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual period that begins after December 15, 2005.  Depending on the nature and extent of any future share-based payments, the application of SFAS No. 123(R) may have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
 
    In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, "Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets," effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005.  APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," was based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged.  The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle.  SFAS 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance.  The adoption of SFAS 153 will only affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations if it has such exchanges in the future.
 
    In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections,” effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.  SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion 20 and SFAS 3.  Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle, unless it is impractical to determine either the periods-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.  SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate affected by a change in accounting principle.  The adoption of SFAS 154 will only affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations if it has such changes or corrections of errors in the future.
 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures, in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported.  Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below. 

    A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of the Company’s financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  Specifically, critical accounting estimates have the following attributes:  (i) the Company is required to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and (ii) different estimates the Company could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimates actually used resulting from events that could be reasonably foreseen as likely to have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

    Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances.  These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes.  These changes have historically been minor and have been included in the consolidated financial statements once known.  In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time.  These uncertainties are discussed in the section above entitled Forward-Looking Statements and in the section below entitled Factors Affecting Future Results.  Based on a critical assessment of its accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and present a meaningful presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. 

    Management believes that the following are critical accounting policies:

    Revenue Recognition.  The Company recognizes revenue from commercial customers when an order has been received, pricing is fixed, title to the product has passed and collectibility is reasonably assured.  Title generally passes upon shipment to the customer; however, in a limited number of cases, title passes upon receipt of shipment by the customer.  There are no customer acceptance provisions included in the Company's sales contracts and the Company has no installation obligation subsequent to product shipment.  Similarly, revenue from sales to distributors is recognized as title passes to them without additional involvement or obligation.  Collection of receivables related to distributor sales is not contingent upon subsequent sales to third parties. 
 
    The Company may enter into government contracts that fall within the scope of Statement of Position 81-1, Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1) ("non-standard" products) or fall outside the scope of SOP 81-1 ("standard" products).  For government contracts within the scope of SOP 81-1, the Company records revenue under a units of delivery model with revenues and costs equal to the average unit value times the number of units delivered.  Any estimated loss on an overall contract would be recognized in the period determined in accordance with SOP 81-1.  For government contracts outside the scope of SOP 81-1, the Company records revenue the same as commercial customers discussed above and would record a loss in the event the costs to fulfill a government contract are in excess of the associated revenues.  The Company has not experienced past losses on government contracts.  The Company accrues minimum royalties due from customers over the related royalty period.  Royalties earned in excess of minimum royalties due are recognized as reported by the licensees.  The Company enters into license agreements and receives nonrefundable license fees in exchange for the use of technology previously developed by the Company. 
 
    The licensee receives the right to manufacture and sell certain products within specified geographic areas.  The nonrefundable license fees are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the exclusivity period of the agreement.  A termination or change to the initial license agreement could result in an accelerated recognition of the deferred revenue.  License fees are included in royalty income.
 
    Income Taxes.  Significant management judgment is required in developing the Company’s provision for income taxes, including the determination of any accrual for tax contingencies, any foreign withholding taxes or any United States income taxes on undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiary, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowances that might be required to be applied against the deferred tax assets.  It is the Company's intention to reinvest undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary and thereby indefinitely postpone their repatriation.  Accordingly, no provision has been made for foreign withholding taxes or United States income taxes which may become payable if undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiary are paid as dividends to the Company.  The Company applies the Comparable Profits Method for transfer pricing to determine the amounts its subsidiary charges to the parent.
 
    Warranty.  The Company generally provides a one year warranty period for all of its products.  The Company also provides coverage on certain of its surge products for "downstream" damage of products not manufactured by the Company.  The Company's warranty provision represents management's estimate of probable liabilities, calculated as a function of sales volume and historical repair experience for each product under warranty.
 
    Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.  The Company records an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of isolated customers to make timely payments of amounts due on account of product purchases.  The Company assesses the credit worthiness of its customers based on multiple sources of information, including publicly available credit data, subscription based credit reports, trade association data, and analyzes factors such as historical bad debt experience, changes in customer payment terms or payment patterns, credit risk related to industry and geographical location and economic trends. This assessment requires significant judgment.  If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to worsen, additional write-offs could be required, resulting in write-offs not included in the Company's current allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
    Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  The Company reviews long-lived assets for possible impairment of carrying value whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.  In evaluating the fair value and future benefit of the Company's assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flows to be derived from the use of individual assets over their remaining amortization period.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its anticipated undiscounted cash flows, the Company recognizes an impairment loss equal to the difference between its carrying value and its fair value.
 

FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE RESULTS
 
    Shareholders and investors should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, before making any investment decision with respect to the Company's securities: 
  • Failure to achieve our operating strategy
  • Access to capital to fund growth
  • Availability and cost increases in raw materials and components
  • The loss of or significant decrease in sales to large customers
  • Adverse changes in the operations of global manufacturing facilities
  • Interruptions in manufacturing operations
  • Infringement or loss of proprietary rights
  • Seasonality
  • Competition from larger companies that produce similar products
  • Newly acquired businesses or product lines
  • Government regulations could adversely impact our operations
    The scope, complexity and seasonality of the RAC market has and continues to place substantial demands on our production capabilities, information technology systems and other resources.  To service this market effectively, we must: (i) maintain a high level of manufacturing quality and efficiency; (ii) properly manage our third party suppliers and independent sub-contract manufacturers; (iii) continue to enhance our operational, financial and management systems, including our database management, inventory control and distribution systems; (iv) expand, train and manage our employee base; (v) compete with aggressive price cutting by competitors; and (vi) vigorously protect and defend our Fire Shield® patents and intellectual property.
 
    Regarding compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, currently unknown, may be identified as we document, test, and assess such controls.
 
    The risks listed above are not the only risks that we face.  Additional risks that are not yet known or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair business operations.
 
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
    The Company has no derivative securities as of September 30, 2005.  The Company’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s debt obligations due to its variable LIBOR Rate pricing.  Accordingly, a 1% change in LIBOR would result in an interest expense change of approximately $46,000.
 

    As of the end of the period covered by this interim report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (the “Certifying Officers”), an evaluation of the effectiveness of its “disclosure controls and procedures” (as the term is defined under Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended).  Based on this evaluation, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. 

    Further, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s second fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.


 
 
    On August 3, 2005, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, against Tower Manufacturing Corporation (Tower), of Providence, R. I., alleging willful infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,292,337, which underlies the Company’s Fire Shield® technology for cord fire prevention.  The Company alleges in the lawsuit that the Tower LCDI, found on portable room air conditioners, infringes TRC’s patent.  As described in the Complaint, the Company is seeking injunctive relief, damages for infringement, cost recovery and any other relief deemed just by the Court.  On September 13, 2005, the Company added Fedders Corporation (NYSE-FJC), a global manufacturer of air treatment products, including room air conditioners, as a defendant in the previously filed lawsuit against Tower Manufacturing Corporation.  The amended complaint alleges that the Tower LCDI, found on the Fedders room air conditioners, infringes TRC’s patent.
 
    The Company is involved in various other claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of the Company, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 

    Not applicable.
