Management Comments

Dov Sella, RADA's Chief Executive Officer commented, “We are very pleased with our continued top line growth, based on revenues from our software-defined tactical radars. These are early fruits from the significant and ongoing investments we are making in R&D, and sales and marketing. Anticipating growth in the US, we are establishing an additional radar production line, to become active this year. As 2019 progresses, we anticipate that the radar market will transform from its current emerging phase to a programs-of-record phase, where we will start to see the generation of significant backlog, primarily from the US.”

Continued Mr. Sella, “Our strategy very much remains on track. Considering the strong growth this quarter and looking forward over the remainder of 2019, we continue to expect revenues in excess of $40 million for the year. This represents year-over-year growth of at least 43%, driven primarily by accelerating sales of tactical radars.”

In February 2016, the FASB established Topic 842, Leases, by issuing ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Topic 842 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842; ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases; and ASU 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (ROU) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the income statement. The Company adopted the new standard on the first day of fiscal 2019. The Company used the modified retrospective transition approach with the effective date as the date of initial application. Consequently, financial information will not be updated, and the disclosures required under the new standard will not be provided for dates and periods before January 2019. The new standard provides several optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permits us not to reassess under the new standard the prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The adoption of the standard resulted in a material effect on the Company’s financial statements with a balance sheet recognition of additional lease assets and lease liabilities of approximately $1.9 million as of March 31, 2019.
