NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

 

1. Quarterly Financial Statements

 

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by REMEC, Inc. (the “Company” or “REMEC”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in annual financial statements, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended January 31, 2005, included in REMEC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of REMEC as of July 29, 2005, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended July 29, 2005 and July 30, 2004. The results of operations for the interim period ended July 29, 2005, will not be indicative of the results, which may be reported for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year.

 

The accompanying financial statements as of July 29, 2005 have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of conducting business. During the fiscal year 2005, the Company engaged financial advisors to evaluate alternative strategies to provide the best value to shareholders, including the disposal of all or a portion of our business units. Further, as detailed in REMEC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ending January 31, 2005, we entered into an agreement to sell our Defense & Space group to Chelton Microwave for $256 million cash, after certain post-closing adjustments and the assumption of certain liabilities by Chelton Microwave. Our shareholders approved the transaction on May 18, 2005 and the sale closed on May 20, 2005. Defense & Space is now reported as a Discontinued Operations and Assets held for sale in our historical financial statements. Our Electronic Manufacturing Services (“EMS”) business was sold and closed on July 1, 2005, and is reported as a Discontinued Operation and Assets held for sale in our historical financial statements. Our Outdoor Unit/Transceiver (“ODU”) product line was sold and closed on August 26, 2005, and is reported as a Discontinued Operation and Assets held for sale in all reporting periods.

 

In March 2005, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell selected assets and liabilities of our Wireless Systems business to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. for 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock and $40 million in cash. Based on Powerwave’s closing price on Friday, September 2, 2005, the transaction value is approximately $146 million. The proposed transaction required shareholder approval, which was not obtained as of July 29, 2005, the end of our second fiscal quarter. As such, these product lines are not reported as Discontinued Operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

On August 31, 2005, our shareholders approved the Wireless transaction. This resulted in REMEC divesting the majority of its remaining operating assets and liabilities. The shareholders also approved a plan of liquidation, intended to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and businesses.

 

On August 2, 2005, REMEC, Inc. filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with the an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. The stock distribution will be made by Powerwave and is expected to occur in mid-September 2005. The cash distribution is expected to occur in several distributions, with the first occurring in October 2005, after REMEC’s Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s remaining obligations. In the August 2, 2005, filing, the first distribution was projected to be between $1.25 and $1.75 per share. This distribution assumed the resolution of certain material liabilities and obligations that have not occurred as of the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, the first distribution is expected to be at or near the low end of the range. The Company continues to believe that the total cash distribution will be within the range previously provided. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations, makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

 

Effective September 3, 2005, the Company will adopt the liquidation basis of accounting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of July 29, 2005 do not reflect any adjustments that may be necessary in changing from the going concern basis of presentation to the liquidation basis of accounting.

 

2. Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding for each period presented. The diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares using the treasury stock method at the average market price during the reporting period.

(*) Reflects effect of reclassification and exchange as detailed below

 

Dilutive securities include options, warrants, and restricted stock units as if converted and restricted stock subject to vesting. Potentially dilutive securities (which include options) totaling 489,000 and 691,000 shares for the three and six months ended July 30, 2004, were excluded from the calculation of loss per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.

 

During the quarter ended July 29, 2005, the Company completed the reclassification of its common stock to allow for the distribution of proceeds from the proposed merger sale of REMEC Defense & Space Group. Pursuant to the reclassification, which was approved by the shareholders on May 18, 2005, effective May 20, 2005, each share of its existing common stock converted into a fractional share of common stock, which entitled the shareholder to voting rights and participation in earnings of the Company, and one share of redemption stock, which was automatically redeemed by the Company. As a result of the reclassification and redemption, each holder of one share of REMEC’s existing common stock at the close of trading on the Nasdaq National Market on May 20, 2005 was entitled to receive 0.446 of a new share of common stock (plus $2.80 per share in cash for the redemption share). The reclassification and redemption resulted in a substantial decrease in the number of outstanding shares and thus is reflected retroactively in our per share calculations for all periods presented.

 

The net loss per share calculation presented above for the prior year is based on the weighted average shares outstanding adjusted as if the reclassification completed on May 20, 2005 had occurred at the beginning of FY 2005 and all common shares outstanding were exchanged at a ratio of 0.446 to 1:

3. Shareholders’ Equity

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, which (i) amended SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation to add two new transitional approaches when changing from the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation to the SFAS No. 123 fair value method and (ii) amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting to call for disclosure of SFAS No. 123 pro forma information on a quarterly basis. The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure only provisions of SFAS No. 148 and will continue to follow APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the stock options granted to its employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense is recognized only for those options whose price is less than fair market value at the measurement date.

 

Pro forma information regarding net loss and net loss per share is required by SFAS No. 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. The pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net income (loss) and net earnings (loss) per common share have been estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following weighted average assumptions for the three and six months ended July 29, 2005 and July 30, 2004: risk-free interest rates of 3.875% and 4%, respectively, dividend yields of 0%, expected volatility of 80.8%, 81.6%, 81.0% and 81.6%, respectively, and a weighted average expected life of the option of four and five years, respectively. The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options and rights under the employee stock purchase plan have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair market value of its employee stock options or the rights granted under the employee stock purchase plan.

 

The following is a summary of the pro forma effects on reported net loss and loss per share for the periods indicated as if the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense based on the fair value of the options at their grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options and the shares granted under the employee stock purchase plan is amortized to expense over their respective vesting or option periods.

4. Short-term investments

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities requires companies to record certain debt and equity security investments at market value. Investments with maturities greater than three months are classified as short-term investments. All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with any material unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within shareholders’ equity. The Company manages its cash equivalents and short-term investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities, all of which are intended to be available for the Company’s current operations. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. As of July 29, 2005 and January 31, 2005, the Company had short-term investments of $0.4 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Gross realized and unrealized losses on short-term investments were not significant in either of the periods ended July 29, 2005 and July 30, 2004.

6. Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash was zero as of July 29, 2005 compared to $9.4 million at January 31, 2005.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Bank Revolving Line of Credit Facility

 

On July 29, 2005, the Company extended the term of its existing $30 million revolving working capital line of credit with its senior lender to January 31, 2006. The borrowing rate under this credit facility is based on prime plus 1% with prime being defined as the bank’s most recently announced per annum “prime rate.” As of July 29, 2005 the Company has not had any borrowings under this credit facility; however $7.8 million has been used under letter of credit arrangements, $1.8 million for banking cash management products, and $20.4 million is used to increase our factoring line. The credit facility is secured by the Company’s domestic trade receivables and inventory and matures January 2006. As of July 29, 2005 the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in this credit facility. The facility is also subject to a “Material Adverse Change” clause whereby the bank can subjectively determine that the Company is in default under the credit agreement. The Material Adverse Change is defined as “if there (i) occurs a material adverse change in the business operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; or (ii) is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations; or (iii) is a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral.” As of July 29, 2005, Management is not aware of any Material Adverse Change.

 

Factoring Arrangements

 

In fiscal year 2004, the Company entered into a factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables were sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. The Company had $8.1 million of advances from the factor outstanding at January 31, 2005 and no advances as of July 29, 2005. In compliance with SFAS No. 140 and the terms of the arrangement, proceeds are collected from the financial institution and the receivables are removed from the balance sheet.

 

In fiscal year 2006, the factoring arrangement limit was increased from $25 million to $35 million, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. Late in fiscal year 2005, a foreign subsidiary of the Company entered into a 6 million Euro factoring arrangement whereby certain of its receivables are sold on a pre-approved, non-recourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material, workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. There were no factorings under this facility as of July 29, 2005.

 

Leases

 

The Company leases certain offices and production facilities under non-cancelable agreements classified as operating leases. Certain of these lease agreements include renewal options. At July 29, 2005, future minimum payments under these operating leases were as follows (in 000’s):

Warranty

 

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of a product or service for deficiencies under specific product or service warranty provisions. The warranty reserves are determined as a percentage of revenues based on the actual trend of historical charges incurred over various periods, excluding any significant or infrequent issues that are specifically identified and reserved.

 

In the quarter ending July 29, 2005, additions to the warranty reserve include a $1.8 million non-recurring charge for a potential corrosion issue with our tower-mounted amplifiers used in Sweden. We continue to work with our customers to find the root cause of the problem and determine the next step corrective actions.

Indemnifications and Guarantees

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the recognition provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees Including Indirect Guarantees of Others, were adopted, which expands previously issued accounting guidance for certain guarantees. Indemnifications issued or modified during the three months ended July 29, 2005 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. A description of the Company’s indemnifications and guarantees as of July 29, 2005 is provided below. The Company is unable to reasonably estimate the maximum amount that could be payable under these arrangements due to the conditional nature of the Company’s obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made under these agreements have not had a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations other than certain guaranteed payments made in connection with the customer financing arrangements discussed below.

 

The Company often designs, develops and manufactures standard “off-the-shelf” products and may provide the customer with an indemnification against any liability arising from third-party claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement based upon the design or manufacturing of such products. The Company cannot determine the maximum amount of losses that it could incur under this type of indemnification because it often may not have enough information about the nature and scope of an infringement claim until it has been submitted to the Company and, to date, no claims have been made.

Table of Contents

The Company indemnifies its directors and certain of its current and former officers against third party claims against them in their capacity as directors or officers. Certain of the costs incurred for providing such indemnification may be recovered under various insurance policies.

 

The Company has guaranteed the performance of two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries under a bank agreement to purchase accounts receivable from the subsidiary. This guarantee provides that if the customer does not pay the accounts receivable due to the subsidiary’s failure to perform the underlying contract, the Company guarantees that its subsidiary will repay the funds received from the bank. There have been no uncollected accounts receivable to date and none are anticipated. The total amount of the potential obligation at July 29, 2005 is $20.4 million. Management believes that the likelihood of a payment associated with this guarantee is remote as the failure of the customer to make their required payments to the Company would be a breach of the underlying contract and would subject them to a claim for damages from the Company.

 

Litigation

 

The Company’s commitment and contingencies include claims and litigation in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, based in part on outside counsel, these matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial position.

 

On September 29, 2004, three class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging violations of federal securities laws between September 8, 2003 and September 8, 2004 (the “Class Period”). On January 18, 2005, the law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP (“Milberg Weiss”) was appointed Lead Counsel and its client was appointed Lead Plaintiff.

 

On March 10, 2005, Milberg Weiss filed a Consolidated and Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”) naming the Company, a former officer and a current officer as defendants (“Defendants”). The Consolidated and Amended Complaint asserts, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding the Company’s operations and future prospects. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages and legal expenses. On April 19, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint, which was granted on August 17, 2005. Plaintiffs have been given until September 14, 2005 to amend their complaint. REMEC believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.

 

On November 16, 2004, a civil complaint was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Cardinal Health 301, Inc. (formerly known as Pyxis Corporation) (“Cardinal”) against Tyco Electronics Corporation, Thomas & Betts Corporation and the Company alleging breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties with regard to certain products sold by the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business unit to Pyxis that incorporated allegedly defective components from Tyco and Thomas & Betts (the “Cardinal Complaint”).

 

On March 18, 2005, the court granted the Company’s demurrer to the Cardinal Complaint, allowing Cardinal an opportunity to amend its complaint, which it has done. Cardinal’s amended complaint includes the previous claims plus adds a claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Cardinal’s amended complaint seeks seven million dollars in damages plus legal expenses. The Company’s response to the amended Cardinal Complaint, denying Cardinal’s claims and asserting a number of defenses, was filed on April 7, 2005. REMEC believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

 

On September 6, 2005, SPEC (CA) QRS 12-20, Inc. (“Landlord”), the owner of two properties in Sunnyvale, California, leased by the Company (“Lease”), filed a civil complaint in Santa Clara Superior Court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages of not less than $16,250,000 and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleges the Company defaulted under the Lease by (i) the initiation of proceedings toward liquidation and dissolution, and (ii) the sale of selected assets and liabilities of the Company’s Wireless Systems business without the assignment of the Lease to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. On September 7, 2005, the court denied the Landlord’s ex parte application for injunctive relief pending trial. The Company’s response to the Complaint is due October 10, 2005. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

 

Other than these three lawsuits described above, neither REMEC nor any of its subsidiaries is presently subject to any material litigation, nor to REMEC’s knowledge, is such litigation threatened against REMEC or its subsidiaries, other than routine actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, all of which collectively are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of REMEC.

 

Environmental Matters

 

We follow the policy of monitoring our properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any environmental liability with respect to our properties that would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Further, we are not aware of any environmental liability or any unasserted claim or assessment with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.

 

8. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive income (loss).

9. Discontinued Operations

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the Company accounts for the results of operations of a component of an entity that has been disposed or that meets all of the “held for sale” criteria, as discontinued operations, if the component’s operations and cash flows have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the entity as a result of the disposal transaction and the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The “held for sale” classification requires having the appropriate approvals by our management, Board of Directors and shareholders, as applicable, and meeting other criteria. When all of these criteria are met, the component is then classified as “held for sale” and its operations reported as discontinued operations.

 

REMEC Defense & Space Divestment

 

On May 20, 2005, the Company completed the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, REMEC Defense & Space, Inc. (“REMEC Defense & Space”), to Chelton Microwave Corporation (“Chelton Microwave”) for $256 million in cash, after certain post-closing adjustments and the assumption of certain liabilities by Chelton Microwave. The sale of REMEC Defense & Space was made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 20, 2004, by and among REMEC, REMEC Defense & Space, Chelton Microwave and Chelton RDS Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of Chelton Microwave. Prior to this transaction, no material relationship existed between REMEC and Chelton Microwave, or their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their directors or officers.

EMS Divestment

 

On July 1, 2005, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Veritek Manufacturing Services, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (“Veritek”) and Samjor Family Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership, whereby REMEC has agreed to sell to Veritek substantially all of the assets and certain liabilities of its electronics manufacturing services business unit (“EMS”). The aggregate purchase price for the sale is $19.0 million payable in cash at closing, subject to certain adjustments including a working capital-based adjustment. In addition to the aggregate purchase price, Veritek agreed to pay to REMEC, at the end of each calendar quarter through December 31, 2006, an additional amount equal to 10% of the amount, if any, by which the average quarterly gross sales placed by certain parties with EMS exceeds $7.5 million; such additional amount will not exceed $4.0 million (the “Additional Payments”).

At July 29, 2005, the following divestments consisting of Nanowave, the Components product line, the China Network Optimization product line, Defense & Space, EMS and ODU product lines have been reclassified as discontinued operations.

 

At July 29, 2005, the Company’s Wireless Systems assets do not meet all of the “held for sale” criteria and are therefore not classified as discontinued operations. The disposal of these assets was contingent upon obtaining approval of the Company’s shareholders, which was not obtained by July 29, 2005.

 

Discontinued operations for the three months ended July 29, 2005 were as follows:

10. Information by Segment and Geographic Region

 

As a result of the recent divestment of the Defense & Space business, and since the historical financial results for this business is reported as discontinued operations, we now have only one reportable business segment – Wireless Systems. As such, there is no additional segment information required.

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.2 million for both the three months ended July 29, 2005 and July 30, 2004.

 

12. Goodwill Impairment

 

During the second quarter ended July 30, 2004, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless Systems reporting segment as a result of changes in management assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company tested the goodwill of the reporting segment for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The performance of the test required a two-step process. The first step of the test involved comparing the fair value of the affected reporting unit with the reporting segment’s aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of the Wireless Systems reporting segment as of July 2004 using the income approach methodology of valuation. The estimates used reflected the Company’s inability to gain market share or attain the level of profitability previously anticipated. As a result, the Company had not met its initial plan and had thus changed the assumptions used in its impairment analysis. As a result of this comparison, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Wireless Systems business unit exceeded its implied fair value as of July 2004. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a charge of $62.4 million to write down the value of goodwill associated with the Wireless Systems reporting segment. There was no other goodwill on the books as of July 29, 2005.

 

13. Subsequent Events

 

On August 26, 2005 REMEC completed the sale of the Outdoor Unit and Transceiver business (“ODU” Transaction) to Wireless Holdings International, Inc., for approximately $15 million in cash (less $1.0 million holdback), subject to certain post closing adjustments estimated to be between $3 and 4 million. In connection with the sale, certain assets and liabilities related to ODU will be removed from REMEC’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

On August 31, 2005, the Company obtained shareholder approval for the sale of assets and liabilities of its Wireless Systems business (“Wireless”) to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. and the plan of dissolution and liquidation of the Company’s remaining assets.

 

On September 2, 2005, REMEC completed the sale of Wireless, including certain RF conditioning products, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers and RF power amplifiers, as well as its manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, China and the Philippines, to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (“Powerwave”) for 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock and $40 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. $15 million of the cash consideration will be held in escrow for a period of nine months to satisfy REMEC’s potential indemnification obligations to Powerwave. In connection with the sale, certain assets and liabilities related to Wireless will be removed from REMEC’s consolidated balance sheet.

 

On August 2, 2005, REMEC, Inc. filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with the an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. The stock distribution will be made by Powerwave and is expected to occur in mid-September 2005. The cash distribution is expected to occur in several distributions, with the first occurring in October 2005, after REMEC’s Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s remaining obligations. In the August 2, 2005, filing, the first distribution was projected to be between $1.25 and $1.75 per share. This distribution assumed the resolution of certain material liabilities and obligations that have not occurred as of the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, the first distribution is expected to be at or near the low end of the range. The Company continues to believe that the total cash distribution will be within the range previously provided. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations, makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

REMEC designs and manufactures microwave and millimeter wave subsystems used in the transmission of voice, video and data traffic over wireless communications networks. We manufacture our products at our own plants in Heredia, Costa Rica; Laguna, Philippines, and Shanghai, China.

 

We sell our wireless systems products primarily to OEMs, which in turn integrate our products into wireless infrastructure equipment solutions sold to network service providers. In addition, we also sell certain niche products directly to network service providers.

 

The demand for our products has been affected in the past by various factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

    the economic and market conditions in the wireless communications markets;

 

    the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer orders and our ability, as well as the ability of our customers, to manage inventory;

 

    our ability to specify, develop or acquire, complete, introduce, market and transition to volume production new products and technologies in a timely manner;

 

    the qualification, availability and pricing of competing products and technologies and the resulting effects on sales and pricing of our products; and

 

    the rate at which our present and future customers and end-users adopt our products and technologies in our target markets.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein. The statements in this report on Form 10-Q that relate to future plans, events or performance are forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including factors and considerations described in REMEC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A and the other documents REMEC files from time to time with the SEC. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. REMEC undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Significant recent developments

 

Subsequent to our second quarter end, on August 26, 2005 REMEC completed the sale of the Outdoor Unit and Transceiver business to Wireless Holdings International, Inc., for approximately $15 million in cash (less $1.0 million holdback), subject to certain post closing adjustments estimated to be between $3 and 4 million.

 

Subsequent to our second quarter end, on September 2, 2005, REMEC completed the sale of its Wireless Systems business, including certain RF conditioning products, filters, tower-mounted amplifiers and RF power amplifiers, as well as its manufacturing facilities in Costa Rica, China and the Philippines, to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. (“Powerwave”) for 10 million shares of Powerwave common stock and $40 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. $15 million of the cash consideration will be held in escrow for a period of nine months to satisfy REMEC’s potential indemnification obligations to Powerwave. The sale of the Wireless Systems business assets will result in REMEC divesting the majority of its remaining operating assets and liabilities. The Wireless Systems sale required shareholder approval that had not been obtained as of the end of the fiscal second quarter, July 29, 2005.

 

The Wireless Systems sale was approved by our shareholders and consummated with Powerwave on September 2, 2005 (subsequent to our quarter end; consequently, they are not reported an “discontinued operations” in the accompanying financial statements). In addition, at the special shareholder’s meeting held on August 31, 2005, the shareholders approved and adopted a plan of liquidation to allow for the orderly disposition of the Company’s remaining assets and liabilities.

The management’s discussion and analysis centers on the continuing operations. The Components and China Network Optimization product lines (Wireless Systems) and Nanowave were divested during fiscal year 2005 and are reported as discontinued operations. Defense & Space and EMS were divested in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and are also reported as discontinued operations. The ODU product line is also reported as discontinued operations.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months ended July 29, 2005 Compared to Three Months ended July 30, 2004

 

Net Sales and Gross Profit. Net sales for the three months ended July 29, 2005 increased by $13.1 million, or 19.9%, to $78.8 million as compared to $65.8 million in the year earlier quarter. Sales were up across all product line with significant increases in our filters and tower-mounted amplifier product lines due to the ramping up of new programs. Gross profits increased $10.0 million for the first three months ended July 29, 2005 versus the same quarter last year. As a percentage of sales, gross margins increased from 2.3% in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to 14.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. The improved gross profits were due to the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix, and other direct material and overhead cost reductions. Our gross profit for the three months ended July 29, 2005 was favorably impacted from sales of zero cost basis inventory obtained from our 2002 acquisition of Spectrian by $0.8 million versus $0.6 million for the same period a year ago.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased from $8.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $9.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A decreased from 12.3% in 2005 to 11.5% in 2006.

 

Research and Development Expenses, Including In-Process. Research and development expenses decreased from $8.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $6.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2006, as the result of reduced spending on the FWA product line, which we sold in May 2004, refocusing our spending on growth areas, and reducing costs in other areas. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses decreased from 13.0% in 2005 to 8.6% in 2006.

 

Goodwill impairment. During the three months ended July 30, 2004, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless Systems reporting segment as a result of changes in management assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company tested the goodwill of the reporting segment for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The performance of the test required a two-step process. The first step of the test involved comparing the fair value of the affected reporting unit with the reporting segment’s aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of the Wireless Systems reporting segment as of July 2004 using the income approach methodology of valuation. The estimates used reflected the Company’s inability to gain market share or attain the level of profitability previously anticipated. As a result, the Company had not met its initial plan and had thus changed the assumptions used in its impairment analysis. As a result of this comparison, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Wireless Systems business unit exceeded its implied fair value as of July 2004. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a charge of $62.4 million to write down the value of goodwill associated with the Wireless Systems reporting segment. There was no other goodwill on the books as of July 29, 2005.

 

Restructuring (reversals)/charges. For the three months ended July 30, 2004, the Company recognized a credit in the amount of $0.8 million predominantly related to the reversal of reserves related to the sale of a building in Finland.

Interest income and other, net. Interest income and other, net decreased from $0.5 million of income in the second quarter of fiscal 2005 to $(1.8) million of expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. In the second fiscal quarter of 2005, this income resulted primarily from amortization of deferred gains on the prior sale of assets and foreign exchange gains on working capital balances in the Company’s foreign entities totaling $0.7 million. These were partially offset by interest and other miscellaneous expenses totalling $(0.2) million. In the second fiscal quarter of 2006, the $(1.8) million of expense resulted primarily from foreign currency exchange losses of $(2.7) million partially offset by interest income of $0.7 million and a gain on the disposal of some fixed assets.

 

Income Taxes. Results for the second quarter of fiscal 2005 reflect an insignificant amount of income taxes. For the second quarter of fiscal 2006, $0.5 million of income tax expenses were paid in Korea.

 

For the second quarter of fiscal years 2006 and 2005, we were in a net operating loss position for current tax provision purposes in all jurisdictions in which we operated. Significant items affecting the calculation of the effective tax rate include establishment of valuation reserves, the large permanent differences arising partly from non-deductible goodwill and merger costs, and the effect of these permanent differences on state income taxes. In addition, we recognized foreign taxes at rates that are generally lower than the U.S. statutory rate.

 

Six Months ended July 29, 2005 Compared to Six Months ended July 30, 2004

 

Net Sales and Gross Profit. Net sales increased 5.7% from $134.1 million for the six months ended July 30, 2004 to $141.8 million for the six months ended July 29, 2005. Increases in the filters and tower-mounted amplifier product lines were partially offset by lower amplifier sales. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased from 7.2% for the six months ended July 30, 2004 to 14.7% for the six months ended July 29, 2005. The improved gross profits were due to the higher sales volume, a favorable product mix, and other direct material and overhead cost reductions. Our gross profit for the six months ended July 29, 2005 was favorably impacted from sales of zero cost basis inventory obtained from our 2002 acquisition of Spectrian by $2.1 million versus $1.8 million for the same period a year ago

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, increased as a percentage of sales from 12.4% for the six months ended July 30, 2004 to 12.8% for the six months ended July 29, 2005. The increase was primarily due to additional expenses for strategic consulting and the Sarbanes-Oxley implementation.

 

Research And Development Expenses. Research and development expenses decreased from $17.8 million in the comparable prior year period to $14.0 million for the six months ended July 29, 2005. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of the Fixed Wireless product line in May 2004, refocusing our spending in growth areas, and other overall cost reductions. As a percentage of sales, research and development expenses decreased from 13.3% in the comparable prior year period to 9.9% for the six months ended July 29, 2005.

 

Goodwill impairment. During the second quarter ended July 30, 2004, the Company determined there were indicators of impairment for the Wireless Systems reporting segment as a result of changes in management assumptions with respect to revenue growth and gross margins. The Company tested the goodwill of the reporting segment for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The performance of the test required a two-step process. The first step of the test involved comparing the fair value of the affected reporting unit with the reporting segment’s aggregate carrying value, including goodwill. The Company estimated the fair value of the Wireless Systems reporting segment as of July 2004 using the income approach methodology of valuation. The estimates used reflected the Company’s inability to gain market share or attain the level of profitability previously anticipated. As a result, the Company had not met its initial plan and had thus changed the assumptions used in its impairment analysis. As a result of this comparison, the Company determined that the carrying value of the Wireless Systems business unit exceeded its implied fair value as of July 2004. Based on this assessment, the Company recorded a charge of $62.4 million to write down the value of goodwill associated with the Wireless Systems reporting segment. There was no other goodwill on the books as of July 29, 2005.

 

Restructuring (reversals)/charges. For the six months ended July 30, 2004, the Company recognized income of $0.9 million related to the reversal of reserves intended for the sale of two buildings in Finland, one during the first quarter and another during the second quarter of fiscal 2005.

 

Interest income and other, net. Interest income and other, net decreased from $0.2 million of income for the six months ended July 30, 2004 to $(2.6) million of expense for the six months ended July 29, 2005. The year-to-date income last year was primarily due to foreign exchange gains of $0.2 million, the gain on the sale of some fixed assets of $0.2 million, offset by other expenses of $(0.2) million. The $(2.6) million of year-to-date expense for the period ended July 29, 2005 was due to foreign currency exchange losses of $(3.6) million partially offset by interest income of $0.7 million and a gain on the disposal of some fixed assets of $0.3 million.

 

Income Taxes. Results for the six months ended July 30, 2004 reflect an insignificant amount of income taxes. For the six months ended July 29, 2005, $0.5 million of income tax expenses were paid in Korea.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At July 29, 2005, we had $122.7 million of working capital, which included cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaling $121.2 million. We also have a $30.0 million revolving working capital line of credit with a bank, which expires in January 2006. The borrowing rate under this credit facility is based on prime plus 1%, with prime being defined as the bank’s most recently announced per annum “prime rate”. As of July 29, 2005 the Company has not had any borrowings under this credit facility; however $7.8 million has been used under letter of credit arrangements, $1.8 million for banking cash management products, and $20.4 million is used to increase our factoring line. The credit facility is secured by the Company’s domestic trade receivables and inventory and matures January 2006. As of July 29, 2005 the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants contained in this credit facility. This facility is also subject to a “Material Adverse Change” clause whereby the bank can subjectively determine that the Company is in default under the credit agreement. The Material Adverse Change is defined as “if there (i) occurs a material adverse change in the business operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower; or (ii) is a material impairment of the prospect of repayment of any portion of the Obligations; or (iii) is a material impairment of the value or priority of Bank’s security interests in the Collateral.” We are not aware of any Material Adverse Change to date.

 

The Company has entered into factoring arrangements whereby certain of its receivables are sold on a pre-approved, nonrecourse basis except in the event of dispute or claim as to price, terms, quality, material workmanship, quantity or delivery of merchandise. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, receivables are sold, net of factoring fees and commissions and net of any credits or discounts available to the Company’s customers. In compliance with SFAS No. 140 and the terms of the arrangement, proceeds are collected from the financial institution and the receivables are removed from the balance sheet.

 

During the six months ended July 29, 2005, net cash from continuing operations decreased by $0.6 million. Cash inflows of $11.9 million from investing activities were the result of the release of $9.4 million in restricted cash, sales of $4.2 million of short-term investments (net of purchases) offset by capital expenditures of $1.7 million. Cash inflows of $3.0 million were from financing activities; proceeds from the sale of common stock. Cash outflows during this period was principally the result of cash used by continuing operations to fund the operating losses of $8.5 million (net of depreciation and amortization) and $7.4 million of accounts receivable increases due to higher business activity; offset by other working capital reductions of $2.1 million, primarily due to inventory reductions.

 

During the six months ended July 30, 2004, net cash used by continuing operations was $19.1 million. Cash outflows during this period were due to funding the operating losses of $16.4 million (net of depreciation and amortization and goodwill charges) and $13.6 million of accounts receivable increases due to higher business activity. These negative cash outflows were partially offset by inflows from investing activities of $7.5 million, financing activities of $3.0 million, other operating activities of $0.4 million.

 

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investment balances as of July 29, 2005 totaled $121.2 million. With all of the business units now sold, the cash remaining after paying all the transaction costs, income taxes, trailing liabilities, and liquidation/wind down costs will be distributed to the shareholders.

 

On August 2, 2005, REMEC, Inc. filed additional proxy material with the SEC that provided shareholders with the an estimate of cash and the number of shares of Powerwave common stock that would be distributed to REMEC shareholders following the sale of REMEC’s Wireless Systems business to Powerwave. That filing indicated shareholders were expected to receive between $2.45 to $2.95 in cash and 0.333 shares of Powerwave stock for every share of REMEC stock held at the time the transaction closed. The stock distribution will be made by Powerwave and is expected to occur in mid-September 2005. The cash distribution is expected to occur in several distributions, with the first occurring in October 2005, after REMEC’s Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s remaining obligations. In the August 2, 2005, filing, the first distribution was projected to be between $1.25 and $1.75 per share. This distribution assumed the resolution of certain material liabilities and obligations that have not occurred as of the filing of this Form 10-Q. As a result, the first distribution is expected to be at or near the low end of the range. The Company continues to believe that the total cash distribution will be within the range previously provided. However, the significant number of liabilities and obligations that REMEC must satisfy along with the uncertainty surrounding these obligations, makes the actual timing of distributions uncertain and may result in the actual cash distribution being lower or higher than the expected range.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of July 29, 2005, we did not have any other relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.

We lease certain office and production facilities under non-cancelable agreements classified as operating leases. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, obligations under these long-term leases are not recorded on the balance sheet as liabilities until payment is due.

 

We incur various purchase obligations with other vendors and suppliers for the purchase of inventory, as well as other goods and services, in the normal course of business. Our purchase obligations are comprised of active and passive components as well as custom-machined parts and castings, manufacturing and test equipment, computer hardware and information system infrastructure and other purchase commitments made in the ordinary course of business. These obligations are generally evidenced by purchase orders with delivery dates from four to six weeks from the purchase order date, and in certain cases, supply agreements that contain the terms and conditions associated with these purchase arrangements. We are committed to accept delivery of such materials pursuant to such purchase orders subject to various contract provisions which may allow us to delay receipt of such order or allow us to cancel orders beyond certain agreed lead times. Such cancellations may or may not include cancellation costs payable by us.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of any contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets, restructuring costs and income taxes. We base our estimates on historical experience and current developments and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and potentially may result in materially different results under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following accounting policies to be those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial results and that require the most subjective judgment.

 

Revenue Recognition. We derive the majority of our revenue from product sales and we recognize revenue from these sales upon transfer of title to the product, which generally occurs upon shipment to the customer. In a growing number of instances, our customers are requiring us to transfer product through an intermediary warehouse. We generally ship to our customers “Free on Board” shipping point except in the circumstances described above. The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, as superceded by SAB No. 104, Revenue Recognition, provides guidance on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States to selected revenue recognition issues. Revenues associated with the performance of non-recurring engineering and development contracts are recognized when earned under the terms of the related contract; and revenues for cost-reimbursement contracts are recorded as costs are incurred and include estimated earned fees in the proportion that costs incurred to date bears to estimated costs. We believe that our revenue recognition policy is consistent with this guidance and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. If our shipping policies were to change, including the point of title transfer, materially different reported results would be likely. For example, if more customers required transfers through an intermediary warehouse, this would cause an increase to our inventory levels and delay revenue recognition.

 

Prospective losses on contracts, which are accrued for, are based upon the anticipated excess of inventoriable manufacturing costs over the selling price of the remaining units to be delivered. Actual losses could differ from those estimated due to changes in the ultimate manufacturing costs and contract terms. For example, a delay in realizing cost reductions for a specific product would have a negative impact on our net income for the period.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Allowances for doubtful accounts are based on estimates of losses related to customer’s receivable balances. In establishing the appropriate provisions for customer receivables balances, the Company makes assumptions with respect to their future collectibility. The Company’s assumptions are based upon individual assessment of a customer’s credit quality as well as subjective factors and trends, including the aging of receivables balances. Generally, these individual credit assessments occur at regular reviews during the life of the exposure and consider (a) a customer’s ability to meet and sustain their financial commitments; (b) a customer’s current and projected financial condition; (c) the positive or negative effects of the current or projected industry outlook; and (d) the economy in general. Once the Company considers all of these factors, a determination is made as to the probability of default. An appropriate provision is made, which takes into account the severity of the likely loss on the outstanding receivable balance based on the Company’s experience in collecting these amounts. In addition to these individual assessments, in general, the Company provides a 5% reserve against all outstanding customer balances that are greater than 60 days past due. The Company’s level of reserves fluctuates depending upon all of the factors mentioned above. Credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the allowances established. At July 29, 2005, accounts receivable totaled $47.3 million, net of reserves for bad debt of $0.9 million.

 

Inventory Adjustments. Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. We review the components of our inventory on a regular basis for excess, obsolete and impaired inventory based on estimated future usage and sales. As a general rule, stock levels in excess of one year’s expectation of usage or sales are fully reserved. The likelihood of any material inventory write-down is dependent on customer demand, competitive conditions or new product introductions by us, or our customers, that vary from our current expectations. The allowance is measured as the difference between the cost of the inventory and market based upon assumptions about future demand and charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of our cost of sales. At the point of the loss recognition, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established, and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis, in compliance with SAB Topic 5.BB. If future demand were significantly less favorable than projected by management, increases to the reserve would be required. In general, our losses from inventory obsolescence have been within our expectations and the reserves established. At July 29, 2005, inventories totaled $47.6 million, net of reserves for excess and obsolete inventory of $10.0 million and contract losses of $2.1 million.

 

Valuation of Goodwill, Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets. At July 29, 2005 and January 31, 2005, there was no Goodwill on our balance sheet for continuing operations.

 

At January 31, 2005, intangible assets other than goodwill were evaluated for impairment using undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets as required by SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. No impairment loss was recognized during fiscal 2005 related to these assets. No impairment test was performed during the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2006 due to the impending sale of Wireless Systems assets to Powerwave.

 

Accrued Warranty Costs. Estimated future warranty obligations related to certain products are charged to operations in the period in which the related revenue is recognized. We establish a reserve for warranty obligations based on historical warranty experience. At July 29, 2005, accrued warranty reserves totaled $10.5 million.

 

Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes. The Company records an estimated valuation allowance on its significant deferred tax assets when, based on the weight of available evidence (including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income or loss, and tax-planning strategies), it is more likely than not that some or all of the tax benefit will not be realized.

 

Income Tax Contingencies. Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of a global business, there are many transactions for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Some of these uncertainties arise as a consequence of intercompany arrangements to share revenue and costs. In such arrangements there are uncertainties about the amount and manner of such sharing, which could ultimately result in changes once the arrangements are reviewed by taxing authorities. Although the Company believes that the approach to determining the amount of such arrangements is reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final exposure of these matters will not be materially different than that which is reflected in the Company’s historical income tax provisions and accruals.

 

In evaluating the exposure associated with various tax filing positions, the Company often accrues charges for probable exposures. At July 29, 2005, the Company believes it has appropriately accrued for probable exposures. To the extent the Company were to prevail in matters for which accruals have been established or be required to pay amounts in excess of these accruals, the Company’s effective tax rate in a given financial statement period could be materially affected.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123-R, which replaces SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. As originally issued, SFAS No. 123 established as preferable a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees. However, that pronouncement permitted entities to continue applying the intrinsic-value-based model of APB Opinion 25, provided that the financial statements disclosed the pro forma net income or loss based on the fair-value method. Due to a recent SEC announcement delaying the effective date, the Company will be required to apply SFAS No. 123-R as of February 1, 2006. Thus, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will reflect an expense for (a) all share-based compensation arrangements granted beginning February 1, 2006 and for any such arrangements that are modified, cancelled, or repurchased after that date, and (b) the portion of previous share-based awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered as of that date, based on the grant-date estimated fair value of those awards.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS No. 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured using the estimated fair value of the assets exchanged. SFAS 153 eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets, and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has “commercial substance” if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the transaction. This pronouncement is effective for nonmonetary exchanges in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe that this pronouncement will have a significant effect on its future financial statements.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material. In Chapter 4 of ARB No. 43, paragraph 5 previously stated that “…under some circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and re-handling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges…” SFAS No. 151 requires that such items be recognized as current-period charges, regardless of whether they meet the criterion of so abnormal (an undefined term). This pronouncement also requires that allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred in years beginning after June 15, 2005. Management does not believe this pronouncement will have a significant impact on its future financial statements.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision of SFAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This pronouncement (“SFAS No. 132-R”) expands employers’ disclosures about pension plans and other post-retirement benefits, but does not change the measurement or recognition of such plans required by SFAS No. 87, No. 88. or No. 106. SFAS No. 132-R retains the existing disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 132, and requires certain additional disclosures about defined benefit post-retirement plans. The defined benefit pension plan of the Company’s United Kingdom subsidiary is the Company’s only defined benefit post-retirement plan. Except as described in the following sentence, SFAS No. 132-R is effective for foreign pension plans for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004; after the effective date, restatement for some of the new disclosures is required for earlier annual periods. Some of the interim-period disclosures mandated by SFAS No. 132-R (such as the components of net periodic benefit cost, and certain key assumptions) are effective for foreign pension plans for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003; other interim-period disclosures will not be required for the Company until the first quarter of 2005. The interim-period disclosure requirements, which became effective on January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2004, were adopted by the Company on those dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how a company classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity, and is effective for public companies as follows: (i) in November 2003, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 150-03 (“FSP 150-3”), which defers indefinitely (a) the measurement and classification guidance of SFAS No. 150 for all mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests in (and issued by) limited-life consolidated subsidiaries, and (b) SFAS No. 150’s measurement guidance for other types of mandatory redeemable non-controlling interests, provided they were created before November 5, 2003; (ii) for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 that are outside the scope of FSP 150-3; and (iii) otherwise, at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company adopted SFAS No. 150 on the aforementioned effective dates. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendments of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 (with certain exceptions), and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. The primary objectives of FIN No. 46 are to provide guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (variable interest entities, or “VIEs”), and how to determine when and which business enterprise should consolidate the VIE. This new model for consolidation applies to an entity for which either: (a) the equity investors do not have a controlling financial interest; or (b) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without receiving additional subordinated financial support from other parties. In addition, FIN No. 46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make additional disclosures. As amended in December 2003, the effective dates of FIN No. 46 for public entities that are not small business issuers are as follows: (a) For interests in special-purpose entities: the first period ended after December 15, 2003; and (b) For all other types of VIEs: the first period ended after March 15, 2004. Management determined that the Company had a VIE and as a result, an entity was consolidated in January 2005, which impacted its consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2005 as follows:

 

     $ 000’s

 

Total Assets

   $ 1,024  

Total Liabilities

     (967 )

Equity

     (57 )

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company’s present or future consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Interest Rate Risk. Our credit facility of $30.0 million is all secured. To the extent of our borrowings under this facility, we will be exposed to changes in interest rates. Through, July 29, 2005 we have had no borrowings under this credit facility and, therefore, no related exposure to interest rate movement.

 

At July 29, 2005, our short-term investment portfolio includes fixed-income securities with a recorded value of approximately $0.4 million. These securities are subject to interest rate risk and might decline in value if interest rates increase. Due to their short-term nature, however, we believe that a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates would not materially affect the fair value of the securities in our investment portfolio.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations. We have operations in Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Americas. As a result, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows can be affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Many of our reporting entities conduct a portion of their business in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. These transactions give rise to receivables and payables that are denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency. The value of these receivables and payables is subject to changes in exchange rates because they may become worth more or less than they were worth at the time we entered into the transaction due to changes in exchange rates. Both realized and unrealized gains or losses in the value of these receivables and payables are included in the determination of net income. Realized foreign currency transaction (losses) totaled $(1.0) million and $(2.2) million for the three months and six months ended July 29, 2005, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months and six months ended July 30, 2004, respectively. Unrealized foreign currency gains (losses) totaled $(1.7) million and $(1.4) million, respectively for the three months and six months ended July 29, 2005, respectively, and $0.1 million and $(0.1) million for the three months and six months ended July 30, 2004, respectively. These amounts are included in Interest income and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

To address increasing revenue growth denominated in foreign currencies and the related currency risks, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2004, the Company established a formal documented program to utilize foreign currency contracts to both mitigate the impact of currency fluctuations on existing foreign currency asset and liability balances as well as to reduce the risk to earnings and cash flows associated with selected anticipated foreign currency transactions anticipated within 12 months. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities all derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not qualify, that are not designated for special accounting treatment, or that are not effective as hedges, are recognized currently in earnings.

 

In fiscal year 2004, the Company began designating and documenting foreign exchange forward contracts related to forecasted sales as SFAS No. 133 cash flow hedges. The Company calculates hedge effectiveness, excluding time value, at least quarterly. The change in the fair value of the derivative on a spot to spot basis is compared to the spot to spot change in the anticipated transaction, with the effective portion recorded in other comprehensive income until it is reclassified to revenue together with the anticipated transaction upon revenue recognition. In the event it becomes probable that additional hedged anticipated transactions will not occur, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges will immediately be reclassified from other comprehensive income to other income. At July 29, 2005, there were no remaining outstanding cash flow hedging derivatives.

 

The Company manages the foreign currency risk associated with foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities using foreign exchange forward contracts with maturities of less than 12 months. These contracts are not designated under SFAS No. 133 for special accounting treatment and changes in their fair value are recognized currently in other income and substantially offset the remeasurement gains and losses associated with the foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

 

There were no outstanding net foreign exchange forward contracts at July 29, 2005.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Based on our evaluation during the most recent quarter, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

 

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of the previously mentioned evaluation.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

On September 29, 2004, three class action lawsuits were filed against the Company and current and former officers in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California alleging violations of federal securities laws between September 8, 2003 and September 8, 2004 (the “Class Period”). On January 18, 2005, the law firm of Milberg Weiss Bershad & Schulman LLP (“Milberg Weiss”) was appointed Lead Counsel and its client was appointed Lead Plaintiff.

 

On March 10, 2005, Milberg Weiss filed a Consolidated and Amended Complaint (the “Complaint”) naming the Company, a former officer and a current officer as defendants (“Defendants”). The Consolidated and Amended Complaint asserts, among other things, that during the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information regarding the Company’s operations and future prospects. The Complaint seeks unspecified damages and legal expenses. On April 19, 2005, REMEC filed a Motion to Dismiss the Consolidated Amended Complaint, which was granted on August 17, 2005. Plaintiffs have been given until September 14, 2005 to amend their complaint. REMEC believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously.

 

On November 16, 2004, a civil complaint was filed in San Diego Superior Court by Cardinal Health 301, Inc. (formerly known as Pyxis Corporation) (“Cardinal”) against Tyco Electronics Corporation, Thomas & Betts Corporation and the Company alleging breach of contract and breach of express and implied warranties with regard to certain products sold by the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business unit to Pyxis that incorporated allegedly defective components from Tyco and Thomas & Betts (the “Cardinal Complaint”).

 

On March 18, 2005, the court granted the Company’s demurrer to the Cardinal Complaint, allowing Cardinal an opportunity to amend its complaint, which it has done. Cardinal’s amended complaint includes the previous claims plus adds a claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Cardinal’s amended complaint seeks seven million dollars in damages plus legal expenses. The Company’s response to the amended Cardinal Complaint, denying Cardinal’s claims and asserting a number of defenses, was filed on April 7, 2005. REMEC believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter.

 

On September 6, 2005, SPEC (CA) QRS 12-20, Inc. (“Landlord”), the owner of two properties in Sunnyvale, California, leased by the Company (“Lease”), filed a civil complaint in Santa Clara Superior Court alleging breach of contract and seeking damages of not less than $16,250,000 and injunctive relief (the “Complaint”). The Complaint alleges the Company defaulted under the Lease by (i) the initiation of proceedings toward liquidation and dissolution, and (ii) the sale of selected assets and liabilities of the Company’s Wireless Systems business without the assignment of the Lease to Powerwave Technologies, Inc. On September 7, 2005, the court denied the Landlord’s ex parte application for injunctive relief pending trial. The Company’s response to the Complaint is due October 10, 2005. The Company believes the lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against it.

 

Other than these three lawsuits described above, neither REMEC nor any of its subsidiaries is presently subject to any material litigation, nor to REMEC’s knowledge, is such litigation threatened against REMEC or its subsidiaries, other than routine actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, all of which collectively are not anticipated to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of REMEC.

 

Items 2, 3 and 5 are not applicable and have been omitted.
