Explanatory Note

In connection with the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, Orbit International Corp. is relying on Release No. 68224 issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), titled “Order Under Section 17A and Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemption from Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder”, which provides that filings by registrants unable to meet filing deadlines due to Hurricane Sandy and its aftermath shall be considered timely so long as the filing is made on or before November 21, 2012, and the conditions contained therein are satisfied. Orbit International Corp.’s headquarters and its independent accountants are located in New York and accordingly Orbit International Corp. was not able to file by the statutory filing date due to disruptions caused by Hurricane Sandy.

(NOTE 1) – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

General

The interim financial information herein is unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods being reported.  Additionally, it should be noted that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain complete disclosures required for annual financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The results of operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

Marketable Securities

The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are included in investment income. Any decline in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in earnings to the extent they relate to a credit loss. A credit loss is the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and the amortized cost basis. The amount of any impairment related to other factors will be recognized in comprehensive income. The cost of securities is based on the specific-identification method. Interest and dividends on such securities are included in investment income.

(NOTE 1) – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends.  The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are recorded at the lower of cost (average cost method and specific identification) or market. Inventories are shown net of any reserves relating to any potential slow moving or obsolete inventory. For interim periods, the Company estimates certain components of its inventory and related gross profit.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization of the respective assets are computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is less.

Long-Lived Assets

When impairment indicators are present, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets in determining the ultimate recoverability of their unamortized values using future undiscounted cash flow analyses. In the event the future undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset are less than the carrying value, the Company will record an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Goodwill

The Company records goodwill as the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, goodwill is not amortized but instead tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company, where appropriate, will utilize Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-08 which allows the Company to not perform the two-step goodwill impairment test if it determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount based on a qualitative assessment of the reporting unit. The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter each year. If the goodwill is deemed to be impaired, the difference between the carrying amount reflected in the financial statements and the estimated fair value is recognized as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurs. In determining the recoverability of goodwill, assumptions are made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets.

(NOTE 1) – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):
 
Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 based on the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions and accounts for such items in accordance with ASC 740-10. As of September 30, 2012, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to federal income taxes and files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. In addition to the federal tax return the Company files income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to routine income tax audits in various jurisdictions and tax returns from December 31, 2009 remain open to examination by such taxing authorities.
 
Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company recognizes a substantial portion of its revenue upon the delivery of product. The Company recognizes such revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer and when there is: i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement with the customer exists, which is generally a customer purchase order, ii) the selling price is fixed and determinable, iii) collection of the customer receivable is deemed probable, and iv) we do not have any continuing obligations. However, for certain products, revenue and costs under larger, long-term contracts are reported on the percentage-of-completion method. For projects where materials have been purchased but have not been placed into production, the costs of such materials are excluded from costs incurred for the purpose of measuring the extent of progress toward completion. The amount of earnings recognized at the financial statement date is based on an efforts-expended method, which measures the degree of completion on a contract based on the amount of labor dollars incurred compared to the total labor dollars expected to complete the contract. When an ultimate loss is indicated on a contract, the entire estimated loss is recorded in the period the loss is identified. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent an asset that will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times may require more than one year. The components of cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are the sum of the related contract’s direct material, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and estimated earnings less accounts receivable billings.

(NOTE 1) – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued):

Deferred Rent

The Company’s leases have escalation clauses which are recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease. The amounts are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, which eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The Company has elected to present the components of net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income as a single continuous statement.

(Note 2)Restricted Cash:

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s restricted cash balance of approximately $671,000 consisted of a money market account which the Company pledged as a continuing security interest relating to its term debt with its former primary lender. During May 2012, the Company’s former primary lender removed the collateral pledge and the cash is no longer restricted.

(Note 3) - Stock Based Compensation:

At September 30, 2012, the Company has two stock-based employee compensation plans. At September 30, 2012, approximately 74,000 shares of common stock were reserved for future issuance of stock options, restricted stock and stock appreciation rights. These plans provide for the granting of nonqualified and incentive stock options as well as restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights to officers, employees and other key persons. The terms and vesting schedules of stock-based awards vary by type of grant and generally the awards vest based upon time-based conditions. Share-based compensation expense was $196,000 and $44,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and was $118,000 and $38,000, respectively, for the comparable 2011 periods.

The Company's stock-based employee compensation plans allow for the issuance of restricted stock awards that may not be sold or otherwise transferred until certain restrictions have lapsed. The unearned stock-based compensation related to restricted stock granted is being amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period, which ranges from two to ten years. The share based expense for these awards was determined based on the market price of the Company's stock at the date of grant applied to the total number of shares that were anticipated to vest. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had unearned compensation of $101,000 associated with all of the Company's restricted stock awards, which will be expensed over approximately the next two years.

(NOTE 4) – Debt:

On November 8, 2012, the Company entered into a new credit agreement (“New Credit Agreement”) with a new commercial lender pursuant to which the Company established a committed line of credit of up to $6,000,000.  This line of credit was used to pay off, in full, all of the Company’s obligations to its former primary lender and to provide for its general working capital needs. The line of credit matures on November 8, 2013 and may be renewed on an annual basis. Payment of interest on the line of credit is due at a rate per annum as follows: (i) variable at the lender’s prime lending rate plus 0%; and/or (ii) 2% over LIBOR for 30, 60, or 90 day LIBOR maturities. The line of credit is secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets. Given that the Company has entered into the New Credit Agreement, the long-term debt balance in the amount of $1,396,000 with its former primary lender has been classified as a current liability at September 30, 2012 and is included in Note payable-bank in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.
 
The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and certain financial covenants. Additionally, available borrowings under the line of credit are subject to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. All outstanding borrowings under the line of credit are accelerated and become immediately due and payable (and the line of credit terminates) in the event of a default, as defined, under the New Credit Agreement. Upon executing the New Credit Agreement, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement at September 30, 2012.

During March 2012, the Company entered into a two-year $65,000 loan agreement to finance the purchase of a leasehold improvement. The loan’s imputed interest rate is 3.25%, is payable in twenty-four (24) monthly payments of approximately $2,800, is secured by the related leasehold improvement, and matures March 2014. The unpaid balance on the installment loan agreement was $49,000 at September 30, 2012.

(NOTE 5) – Net Income (loss) Per Common Share(continued):
 
The numerator for basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is the net income (loss) for each period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company had a net loss and therefore did not include 24,000 incremental common shares in its calculation of diluted net loss per common share since an inclusion of such securities would be anti-dilutive.
 
Options to purchase 158,000 and 155,000 shares of common stock were outstanding during nine and three month periods ending September 30, 2012, respectively, and options to purchases 163,000 shares were outstanding during the comparable 2011 periods but were not included in the computation of diluted income (loss) per share. The inclusion of these options would have been anti-dilutive as the options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the relevant period.

Approximately 20,000 shares of outstanding common stock during the nine and three months ended September 30, 2012 and approximately 73,000 shares of outstanding common stock during the comparable periods in 2011 were not included in the computation of basic earnings per share. These shares were excluded because they represent the unearned portion of restricted stock awards.

(NOTE 8) - Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This statement enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to ASC 820.

The table below presents the balances, as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the hierarchy.

The Company’s only asset or liability that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis is marketable securities, based on quoted market prices in active markets and is therefore classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt reasonably approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market or other information available to management. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

(NOTE 9) - Business Segments:

The Company operates through two business segments, the Electronics Segment (or "Electronics Group") and the Power Units Segment (or "Power Group").  The Electronics Segment is comprised of the Orbit Instrument Division and the Company’s TDL and ICS subsidiaries. The Orbit Instrument Division and TDL are engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of customized electronic components and subsystems. ICS performs system integration for Gun Weapons Systems and Fire Control Interface as well as logistics support and documentation. The Company's Power Units Segment, through the Company's Behlman Electronics, Inc. subsidiary, is engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of distortion free commercial power units, power conversion devices and electronic devices for measurement and display.

The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer different products.  The reportable segments are each managed separately as they manufacture and distribute distinct products with different production processes.

The following is the Company’s business segment information for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011:

(NOTE 12)Liability Associated with Non-renewal of Senior Officers’ Contracts:

In March 2012, the Company reached a decision that made it probable that the employment agreement of its former chief operating officer would not be renewed, which effectively terminated his employment as of July 31, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of his existing agreement, the Company recorded an expense of $1,194,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing its estimated contractual obligation relating to the contract non-renewal. In addition, relating to the non-renewal, all of his unvested restricted shares vested of July 31, 2012. As of September 30, 2012, the liability associated with the non-renewal of the former chief operating officer contract was approximately $813,000.

The Company elected not to renew the employment agreement of its former chief executive officer effectively terminating his employment as of December 31, 2010. The Company recorded an expense during the year ended December 31, 2010 of $2,000,000 representing its estimated contractual obligation, along with associated costs, relating to the contract non-renewal. In March 2011, the former chief executive officer filed for an arbitration hearing in the City of New York to settle a dispute regarding certain contractual obligations owed in connection with the contract non-renewal. In April 2012, the arbitrator granted a binding final award on this matter, which did not result in any significant change to the Company’s original $2,000,000 charge. As of September 30, 2012 the remaining liability associated with the former chief executive officer was approximately $103,000 which amount will be fully paid in the fourth quarter of 2012.

(NOTE 13)Equity:

In March 2012, the Company purchased, in privately negotiated transactions, 95,000 shares of its common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $400,000. The Company incurred costs associated with the transaction of approximately $2,000. In August 2012, the Company purchased, in a privately negotiated transaction, 100,000 shares of its common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $308,000. These stock purchases are included in Treasury Stock in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

Forward Looking Statements

Statements in this Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this document are certain statements which are not historical or current fact and constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of such term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual financial or operating results of the Company to be materially different from the historical results or from any future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements are based on our best estimates of future results, performance or achievements, based on current conditions and the most recent results of the Company.  In addition to statements which explicitly describe such risks and uncertainties, readers are urged to consider statements labeled with the terms “may,” “will,” “potential,” “opportunity,” “believes,” “belief,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or “plans” to be uncertain and forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained herein are also subject generally to other risks and uncertainties that are described from time to time in the Company’s reports and registration statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Executive Overview

We recorded net income of $763,000 and a net loss of $413,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, compared to net income of $697,000 and $2,138,000, respectively, during the comparable periods in 2011. The increase in sales and profitability during the current three month period as compared to the prior three month period was principally due to an increase in sales and profitability at our Electronics Group that was partially offset by a decrease in sales and profitability at our Power Group. We recorded a decrease in sales and profitability for the current nine month period as compared to the prior year period principally due to a decrease in sales and profitability from both our Electronics and Power Groups. The nine month period ending September 30, 2012 was also adversely affected by a $1,194,000 charge taken in connection with the non-renewal of our former chief operating officer’s employment contract.
 
Our backlog at September 30, 2012 was approximately $17,100,000 compared to $15,800,000 at September 30, 2011.  There is no seasonality to our business.  Our shipping schedules are generally determined by the shipping schedules outlined in the purchase orders received from our customers.  Both of our operating segments continue to pursue a significant number of business opportunities, and while we are confident that we will receive many of the orders we are pursuing, there can be no assurance as to the ultimate receipt and timing of these orders.

Our financial condition remains strong as evidenced by our 3.3 to 1 current ratio at September 30, 2012. During November 2012, we entered into a $6,000,000 line of credit facility with a new lender. This line of credit was used to pay off, in full, all of our obligations to our former primary lender and to provide for our general working capital needs. The new credit facility expires November 8, 2013. Upon executing the New Credit Agreement, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement at September 30, 2012. In March 2012, we engaged in a privately negotiated transaction whereby we purchased 95,000 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $402,000, including costs associated with the transaction of approximately $2,000, at an average price of $4.23. In August 2012, in a privately negotiated transaction, we purchased 100,000 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $308,000 at an average price of $3.08. Under the terms of our New Credit Agreement, we are permitted to purchase up to an additional $400,000 of our common stock during the term of our New Credit Agreement. In November 2012, our Board of Directors authorized management, in its discretion, to purchase up to this amount of our common stock.
 
Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of operations are based on our financial statements and the data used to prepare them.  Our financial statements have been prepared based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  On an on-going basis, we re-evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to inventory valuation, the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset, impairment of goodwill, valuation of share-based compensation, revenue and cost recognition on long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method and other than temporary impairment on marketable securities.  These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current business conditions and circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  We believe the following critical accounting policies affect more significant judgments and estimates in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Inventories

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (average cost method and specific identification) or market. Inventory items are reviewed regularly for excess and obsolete inventory based on an estimated forecast of product demand.  Demand for our products can be forecasted based on current backlog, customer options to reorder under existing contracts, the need to retrofit older units and parts needed for general repairs.  Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have an impact on the level of obsolete material in our inventory and operating results could be affected, accordingly.  However, world events which have forced our country into various conflicts have resulted in increased usage of hardware and equipment which are now in need of repair and refurbishment. This could lead to increased product demand as well as the use of some older inventory items that we had previously determined obsolete. In addition, recently announced reductions in defense spending may result in deferral or cancellation of purchases of new equipment, which may require refurbishment of existing equipment.

 
21


Deferred Tax Asset

At September 30, 2012, we had an alternative minimum tax credit of approximately $573,000 with no limitation on the carry-forward period and Federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $9,000,000 and $7,000,000, respectively, that expire through 2030. Approximately, $4,000,000 of Federal net operating loss carry-forwards expire in 2012. In addition, we receive a tax deduction when our employees exercise their non-qualified stock options thereby increasing our deferred tax asset.  We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that a portion of the amount may not be realized.  We estimate our valuation allowance based on an estimated forecast of our future profitability.  Any significant changes in future profitability resulting from variations in future revenues or expenses could affect the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset and operating results could be affected, accordingly. If our profitability from the quarter ended September 30, 2012 continues during the remainder of 2012 (despite our net loss for the first nine months of 2012), we will evaluate the possible reduction of some or all of our valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax asset. The reduction of some or all of our valuation allowance would create a deferred tax benefit, resulting in an increase to net income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
Impairment of Goodwill

The balance of goodwill for each of our operating units as of September 30, 2012 is $820,000 and $868,000 for TDL and Behlman, respectively. After adopting ASU 2011-08, we performed a qualitative assessment of Behlman’s goodwill at December 31, 2011 and concluded that it was more likely that not that the fair value of Behlman was greater than its carrying amount. This assessment was based on certain factors, such as: i) Behlman’s record bookings and revenue in 2011, ii) Behlman’s strong net income in 2011 and iii) based on the 2010 goodwill impairment test, Behlman’s fair value at December 31, 2010 exceeded its carrying amount by approximately 27%. In determining the recoverability of TDL’s goodwill, assumptions were made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the asset. After completing the quantitative impairment testing of goodwill for TDL, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired at December 31, 2011.
 
Our analysis of TDL’s goodwill employed the use of both a market and income approach. Significant assumptions used in the income approach include growth and discount rates, margins and our weighted average cost of capital. We used historical performance and management estimates of future performance to determine margins and growth rates. Our weighted average cost of capital included a review and assessment of market and capital structure assumptions. Based on TDL’s goodwill impairment test at December 31, 2011, TDL had a fair value that was in excess of its carrying value by approximately 15%. Considerable management judgment is necessary to evaluate the impact of operating changes and to estimate future cash flows. Changes in our actual results and/or estimates or any of our other assumptions used in our analysis could result in a different conclusion.
 
 
22


Share-Based Compensation

We account for share-based compensation awards by recording compensation based on the fair value of the awards on the date of grant and expensing such compensation over the vesting periods of the awards, which is generally one to ten years. Total share-based compensation expense was $196,000 and $118,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, no shares of restricted stock or stock options were granted.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

We recognize a substantial portion of our revenue upon the delivery of product. We recognize such revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred to our customer and when there is: i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement with the customer exists, which is generally a customer purchase order, ii) the selling price is fixed and determinable, iii) collection of the customer receivable is deemed probable, and iv) we do not have any continuing obligations. However, for certain products, revenue and costs under larger, long-term contracts are reported on the percentage-of-completion method. For projects where materials have been purchased, but have not been placed in production, the costs of such materials are excluded from costs incurred for the purpose of measuring the extent of progress toward completion. The amount of earnings recognized at the financial statement date is based on an efforts-expended method, which measures the degree of completion on a contract based on the amount of labor dollars incurred compared to the total labor dollars expected to complete the contract. When an ultimate loss is indicated on a contract, the entire estimated loss is recorded in the period the loss is identified. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent an asset that will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times may require more than one year. The components of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are the sum of the related contract’s direct material, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead and estimated earnings less accounts receivable billings.

We currently have approximately $262,000 invested in corporate bonds.  We treat our investments as available-for-sale which requires us to assess our portfolio each reporting period to determine whether declines in fair value below book value are considered to be other than temporary.  We must first determine that we have both the intent and ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in its fair value to its amortized cost.  In assessing whether the entire amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered, we compare the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected from the security (determination of fair value) with the amortized cost basis of the security. If the impairment is determined to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to its fair value and the write-down is included in earnings as a realized loss, and a new cost is established for the security.   Any further impairment of the security related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. Any subsequent recovery in fair value is not recognized until the security either is sold or matures.
 
 
23

 
We use several factors in our determination of the cash flows expected to be collected including: i) the length of time and extent to which market value has been less than cost, ii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, iii) whether a decline in fair value is attributable to adverse conditions specifically related to the security or specific conditions in an industry, iv) whether interest payments continue to be made, and v) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency.

Results of Operations

Three month period ended September 30, 2012 v. September 30, 2011

We currently operate in two industry segments.  Our Orbit Instrument Division and our TDL subsidiary are engaged in the design and manufacture of electronic components and subsystems and our ICS subsidiary performs system integration for Gun Weapons Systems and Fire Control Interface as well as logistics support and documentation (which collectively comprise our “Electronics Group”).  Our Behlman subsidiary is engaged in the design and manufacture of commercial power units and COTS power solutions (which comprises our “Power Group”).

Consolidated net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 increased slightly to $7,864,000 from $7,850,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, due primarily to higher sales from our Electronics Group and despite lower sales from our Power Group. Sales from our Electronics Group increased by 4.8% due principally to higher sales from our TDL and ICS subsidiaries and despite lower sales from our Orbit Instrument Division. The increase in sales at our TDL subsidiary was primarily due to increased shipments relating to an order received in the first quarter of 2012 for displays used in the ground mobile marketplace. The increase in sales at our ICS subsidiary was principally due to an increase in revenue relating to our Signal Data Converter(“SDC”) order which is recognized under the percentage of completion method. The decrease in sales at our Orbit Instrument Division was primarily a result of a decrease in shipments pursuant to customer delivery schedules resulting from lower bookings in prior periods. Sales from our Power Group decreased by 7.1% due to a decrease in sales from its commercial division which was partially offset by an increase in sales at its COTS division. The decrease in sales from its commercial division was principally due to a decrease in bookings during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and the increase in sales from its COTS division was principally due to increased shipments pursuant to customer delivery schedules.
 
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 38.9% from 43.1% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease was the result of lower gross margin at both our Electronics and Power Groups. The decrease in gross margin from our Electronics Group was principally due to lower gross margin at our Orbit Instrument Division which was partially offset by higher gross margin at our ICS and TDL subsidiaries. The decrease in gross margin at our Orbit Instrument Division was primarily due to lower sales and a change in product mix which resulted in higher material and labor costs as a percentage of sales. The increase in gross margin at our ICS subsidiary was primarily due to higher sales and a change in product mix, particularly the inclusion of our SDC contract in the current year. The increase in gross margin at our TDL subsidiary was primarily due to higher sales. The decrease in gross margin at our Power Group was principally due to lower sales during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 14.7% to $2,255,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 from $2,644,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was principally due to lower corporate costs and lower selling, general and administrative expenses from our Electronics and Power Groups primarily relating to the departure of a senior officer at both Groups whose duties were assumed by other management personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 28.7% from 33.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 principally due to an increase in sales and a decrease in costs.

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $31,000 from $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to a decrease in the amounts owed to lenders under our term debt and lower interest rates on our term debt and line of credit and despite an increase in amounts owed under our line of credit.

Investment and other income for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $5,000 from $28,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2011 principally due to a deferred gain of $21,000 in the prior year period.

Net income before taxes was $778,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $725,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase in income was principally due to an increase in sales at our Electronics Group, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, a decrease in interest expense and despite a decrease in sales at our Power Group, a decrease in gross profit from both the Electronics and Power Groups, a decrease in interest expense and a decrease in investment and other income, net.
 
Income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 consist of $15,000 and $28,000, respectively, in state income and Federal minimum taxes that cannot be offset by any state or Federal net operating loss carry-forwards.

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $763,000 compared to net income of $697,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the three months ended September 30, 2012 increased to $882,000 from $838,000 for three months ended September 30, 2011.  Listed below is the EBITDA reconciliation to net income:
 
EBITDA is a Non-GAAP financial measure and should not be construed as an alternative to net income. An element of the Company's growth strategy has been through strategic acquisitions which have been substantially funded through the issuance of debt. This has resulted in significant interest expense and amortization expense. EBITDA is presented as additional information because the Company believes it is useful to our investors and management as a measure of cash generated by our business operations that will be used to service our debt and fund future acquisitions as well as provide an additional element of operating performance.

Nine month period ended September 30, 2012 v. September 30, 2011

Consolidated net sales for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased by 6.1% to $21,535,000 from $22,946,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 due to lower sales from both our Electronics and Power Groups. Sales from our Electronics Group decreased by 11.2%, due principally to a decrease in sales from our Orbit Instrument Division and ICS subsidiary and despite an increase in sales at our TDL subsidiary. The decrease in sales at our Orbit Instrument Division was principally due to a decrease in shipments pursuant to customer delivery schedules resulting from lower bookings in prior periods. The decrease in sales at our ICS subsidiary was principally due to the absence of MK 119 sales, as a follow-on order for the MK 119 was not received for shipping in 2012 and the decrease was also due to less MK 437 sales in the nine month period ended September 30, 2012. Sales from our Power Group decreased by 2.4%, due to a decrease in sales from its commercial division and despite an increase in sales from its COTS division. The decrease in sales from its commercial division was principally due to a decrease in bookings during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the increase in sales from its COTS division was principally due to increased shipments pursuant to customer delivery schedules.
 
Gross profit, as a percentage of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to 38.4% from 42.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of lower gross margin from both our Electronics and Power Groups. The decrease at our Electronics Group was principally due to lower gross margin at our Orbit Instrument Division and despite an increase in gross margin at our TDL and ICS subsidiaries. The decrease in gross margin at our Orbit Instrument Division was primarily due to lower sales and a change in product mix which resulted in higher material and labor costs as a percentage of sales. The increase in gross margin at our TDL subsidiary was primarily due to an increase in sales. The increase in gross margin at our ICS subsidiary was primarily due to a change in product mix, particularly the inclusion of our SDC contract in the current year, and despite a decrease in sales. The decrease in gross margin at our Power Group was primarily due to a decrease in sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased slightly to $7,427,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 from $7,399,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011. The increase was principally due to higher corporate costs relating to the departure of a senior officer and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses at our Orbit Instrument Division due to additional sales and engineering personnel. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 increased to 34.5% from 32.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 principally due to a decrease in sales and an increase in costs.

During the first quarter of 2012, we reached a decision that made it probable that the employment agreement of our former chief operating officer would not be renewed, which effectively terminated his employment as of July 31, 2012. Pursuant to the terms of his existing agreement, we recorded an expense of $1,194,000 for estimated costs associated with the contract non-renewal.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $101,000 from $151,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 due principally to a decrease in the amounts owed to lenders under our term debt and also due to a reduction in the interest rate on our term debt and line of credit.
 
Investment and other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 decreased to $102,000 from $133,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 principally due to a gain of $45,000 on corporate bonds sold in the prior period and despite a $21,000 increase in a deferred gain during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net loss before taxes was $340,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to net income before taxes of $2,212,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in income was principally due to a $1,194,000 charge taken in connection with the non-renewal of our former chief operating officer’s contract, a decrease in sales from both the Electronics and Power Groups, a decrease in gross profit at both our Electronics and Power Groups, an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, a decrease in investment and other (income) and despite a decrease in interest expense.
 
Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 consist of $73,000 and $74,000, respectively, in state income and Federal minimum taxes that cannot be offset by any state or Federal net operating loss carry-forwards.

As a result of the foregoing, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $413,000 compared to net income of $2,138,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Earnings (loss) before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased to a loss of $25,000 from income of $2,565,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Listed below is the EBITDA reconciliation to net income:

Material Change in Financial Condition

Working capital decreased to $14,054,000 at September 30, 2012 compared to $17,038,000 at December 31, 2011. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities decreased to 3.3 to 1 at September 30, 2012 compared to 5.4 to 1 at December 31, 2011. The decrease in working capital was primarily attributable to the net loss for the period, the refinancing of our long term debt with a new line of credit, the increase in the liability associated with non-renewal of senior officers’ contracts and the repayment of debt.

Net cash used in operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $837,000, primarily attributable to the net loss for the period, an increase in inventory and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, the decrease in accrued expenses, taxes payable and accounts payable and despite the decrease in accounts receivable, other current assets and other non-current assets, the increase in liabilities associated with the non-renewal of senior officers’ contracts and customer advances and the non-cash depreciation and stock based compensation. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $1,261,000, primarily attributable to the net income for the period, non-cash depreciation, stock compensation and inventory reserves, a decrease in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and other current assets and despite decrease in the liability associated with our former chief executive officer.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $354,000, primarily attributable to the purchase of fixed assets. Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $223,000, primarily attributable to the purchase of fixed assets and marketable securities that was partially offset by the sale of marketable securities and fixed assets.

Cash flows from financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 was $311,000, primarily attributable to the proceeds from issuance of note payable-bank and long-term debt and the decrease in restricted cash which was partially offset by the repayment of long term debt and purchase of treasury stock. Cash flows used in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2011 was $1,085,000, primarily attributable to the repayment of long term debt and note payable-bank which was partially offset by the proceeds from note payable-bank.

On November 8, 2012, we entered into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”) with a new commercial lender pursuant to which we established a committed line of credit of up to $6,000,000.  This line of credit was used to pay off, in full, all of our obligations to our former primary lender and to provide for our general working capital needs. The line of credit matures on November 8, 2013 and may be renewed on an annual basis. Payment of interest on the line of credit is due at a rate per annum as follows: (i) variable at the lender’s prime lending rate plus 0%; and/or (ii) 2% over LIBOR for 30, 60, or 90 day LIBOR maturities. The line of credit is secured by a first priority security interest in all of our tangible and intangible assets.
 
 
28


The New Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and certain financial covenants. Additionally, available borrowings under the line of credit are subject to a borrowing base of eligible accounts receivable and inventory. All outstanding borrowings under the line of credit are accelerated and become immediately due and payable(and the Line of Credit terminates) in the event of a default, as defined, under the New Credit Agreement. Upon executing the New Credit Agreement, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the New Credit Agreement at September 30, 2012.

Our existing capital resources, including our line of credit facility and our cash flow from operations, are expected to be adequate to cover our cash requirements for the next twelve months.
 
In March 2012, we purchased, in privately negotiated transactions, 95,000 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $400,000. We incurred costs associated with the transaction of approximately $2,000. In August 2012, in a privately negotiated transaction, we purchased 100,000 shares of our common stock for total cash consideration of approximately $308,000. Under the terms of our New Credit Agreement, we are permitted to purchase up to an additional $400,000 of our common stock during the term of our New Credit Agreement. In November 2012, our Board of Directors authorized management, in its discretion, to purchase up to this amount of our common stock.

Inflation has not materially impacted the operations of our Company.
 
Certain Material Trends

Backlog at September 30, 2012 was $17.1 million compared to $15.5 million at December 31, 2011 and $15.8 million at September 30, 2011.  The increase in backlog at September 30, 2012 from December 31, 2011 was attributable to $11.7 million of bookings in the first quarter of 2012, many orders of which were delayed from the fourth quarter of 2011.

Our backlog at September 30, 2012 does not include approximately $4.2 million of orders that have not yet been funded against a base contract award for approximately $5.8 million received by ICS for its Signal Data Converter (“SDC”).  Our backlog at April 30, 2012, inclusive of the full base contract award for the SDC was $21.3 million, an increase of 34.8% compared to September 30, 2011.
 
In 2011, bookings fell at our Orbit Instrument Division to approximately $7,000,000 compared to over $11,000,000 in 2010, mostly due to program contract delays.  However, orders for our Remote Control Units and FAA keyboards, expected in 2011, were received in the first quarter of 2012 along with orders received for our Color Programmable Entry Panels. As a result, our first quarter bookings for the Orbit Instrument Division were in excess of $5,900,000.  However, despite these strong bookings and its increased backlog from December 31, 2011, our Orbit Instrument Division’s revenue and profitability is expected to decrease from 2011 levels due to decreased sales and lower gross margins due to product mix.  Due to pricing on new and outstanding proposals for legacy programs, we expect gross margins to improve in 2013.

 
29

 
ICS did not receive a follow-on award for its MK-119 Gun Console System for 2012 delivery.  However, it does expect future orders on this program for foreign military sales in late 2013. ICS developed and shipped three prototype SDC units during the second quarter of 2011 and received an order for two additional prototype SDCs, one that was delivered in the second quarter of 2012 and the other delivered during the third quarter of 2012. In April 2012, ICS received a follow-on base contract award for its SDC for $5,758,000. ICS received initial orders of $1,597,000 against this contract. The remainder of the contract was expected to be received at various times during the year and the first quarter of 2013 so that all shipments were expected to be completed by the end of 2013.  However, ICS was notified by its customer that orders and deliveries under this contract will be spread over a four year period of time.  ICS is currently working on other business opportunities and has taken certain cost saving initiatives including a reduction in personnel in November 2012, the consolidation of its two operating facilities into one and the transfer of most of its production to our TDL facility in Quakertown, PA.

TDL continues to work with several prime contractors on new prototype and pre-production orders.  During the fourth quarter of 2011, TDL received three anticipated new prototype awards which were shipped in the fourth quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.  One of these programs moved to the initial production stage during the first quarter, another is expected to move to production in the current fourth quarter and the third opportunity is on hold, waiting for funding. In addition, TDL’s backlog increased during the first quarter due to a $1.3 million contract it received for the ground mobile marketplace, shipments for which commenced during the second quarter of 2012 and were completed during the third quarter of 2012. TDL is expecting follow-on orders for these displays and is also waiting on other new opportunities in the ground mobile marketplace but is uncertain as to the timing of these new awards.  An order for avionic displays, in excess of $1,000,000, was expected by the end of the second quarter but is now expected sometime during the fourth quarter.

Both our Orbit Instrument Division and TDL subsidiary have several outstanding proposals for its equipment used on legacy programs and we expect to receive several significant orders either before year end or the first quarter of 2013.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, operating results for the Power Group decreased from the prior year period but business conditions still remain strong; we experienced a 44.5% increase in bookings at our COTS Division for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the prior year period which is offsetting weakness at our Commercial Division which has historically been the case during a weak economic environment.  In particular, in 2011, bookings increased by 35%, record revenue was recorded and the Power Group entered 2012 with a record backlog.  Despite record bookings in 2011, bookings are in excess of 7% higher through October 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year. In addition, we expect to continue to receive follow-on orders for legacy programs in both our COTS and Commercial Divisions. We expect 2012 operating results for the Power Group to be somewhat comparable to the operating results we recorded in 2011.
 
 
30

 
Looking ahead to the remainder of this year, we expect our fourth quarter results to be somewhat comparable to the third quarter.  This will result in our 2012 operating results to be below the operating results we recorded in 2011.  This decrease was most attributable to lower and sales and profitability from our Orbit Instrument division.  Lower sales resulted from contract delays that shifted revenue from the first half of 2012 to the second half of 2012 and into 2013.  Reduced profitability resulted from lower sales and product mix.

Our Electronics Group and the COTS Division of our Power Group are heavily dependent on military spending. Although we are heavily dependent upon military spending as a source of revenues and income, increased military spending does not necessarily guarantee us increased revenues, particularly, when the allocation of budget dollars may vary depending on what may be needed for specific military conflicts.   Due to budget constraints, government spending has come under intense pressure and the defense budget, usually immune from such pressures, will face reduction beginning next year.

Reductions in the level of military spending by the U.S. Government due to budget constraints (or for any other reason), could have a negative impact on our future revenues and earnings.  However, we believe that current plans for cuts in defense spending will be in certain areas of the defense budget in which we generally do not participate.  In fact, we believe that as military assets return from the Middle East, the need for refurbishment and modernization could become a defense spending priority.  Therefore, we believe there could be significant opportunities for us as military efforts are curtailed and defense spending priorities are refocused.  However, future business for our Company, resulting from these opportunities will also be dependent upon the make/buy decisions made by our prime contractors.

Finally, despite planned reductions in military spending beginning next year, members of Congress will be working on a plan to balance the budget to avoid sequestration cuts, which would further reduce Department of Defense spending.  A reduction in defense spending as a result of full sequestration cuts would have a profound negative impact on the entire defense industry. At the present time, there is not sufficient information to predict whether these sequestration cuts will take place, the magnitude of such cuts on defense spending or the financial impact of such cuts on our Company.

Although our Electronics Group and the COTS Division of our Power Group are pursuing several opportunities for reorders as well as new contract awards, we have normally found it difficult to predict the timing of such awards.  In addition, we have several new opportunities that are in the prototype or pre-production stage.  These opportunities generally move to a production stage at a later date, but the timing of such is also uncertain.  However, once initial production orders are received, we are generally well positioned to receive follow-on orders depending on government needs and funding requirements.

There is no seasonality to our business.  Our revenues are generally determined by the shipping schedules outlined in the purchase orders received from our customers.  We stratify all the opportunities we are pursuing by various confidence levels.  We generally realize a very high success rate with those opportunities to which we apply a high confidence level.  We currently have a significant number of potential contract awards to which we have applied a high confidence level.  However, because it is difficult to predict the timing of awards for most of the opportunities we are pursuing, it is also difficult to predict when we will commence shipping under these contracts.  A delay in the receipt of any contract from our customer ultimately causes a corresponding delay in shipments.

 
31


In March 2011, we hired a new investment banker to help us expand our operations and achieve better utilization of our existing facilities through strategic, accretive acquisitions.  Due to the uncertainty surrounding sequestration, merger and acquisition activity has been significantly curtailed.  Through the past several years, we reviewed various potential acquisitions and believe there will be opportunities available, particularly to integrate into our current operating facilities. Currently, we are not engaged in any discussions related to any specific acquisition target, and there is no assurance that any future acquisition will be accomplished. In addition, due to current economic conditions and tightening of credit markets, there can be no assurance that we will obtain the necessary financing to complete additional acquisitions and even if we do, there can be no assurance that we will have sufficient income from operations from any such acquired companies to satisfy scheduled debt payments, in which case, we will be required to pay them out of our existing operations which may be adversely affected.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

We presently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
