MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these consolidated
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring
adjustments necessary in order to present fairly the financial position as of June 28, 2008, the results of operations for the quarterly period ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and the cash flows for the quarterly period ended
June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007.
As of April 1, 2008 the Company changed its fiscal quarters to the 13-week period ending
on the Saturday nearest June 30, September 30 and December 31. As a result, the first and fourth quarter may be more or less than 13 weeks, by 1 to 6 days, which can affect comparability between periods. The first quarter of
Fiscal 2009 has 88 days versus 90 in the first quarter of Fiscal 2008. The Companys fiscal year end is still March 31, 2009.
The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended March 31, 2009. The Company has reclassed certain prior period amounts to
conform with the current period presentation.
2. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summary of operations and basis of consolidation
Micronetics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the Company or
Micronetics) are engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of high performance wireless components and test equipment used in cellular, microwave, satellite, radar and communication systems around
the world.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Micronetics, Inc. (Micronetics) and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Microwave & Video Systems, Inc. (MVS), Enon Microwave, Inc. (Enon), Microwave Concepts, Inc. (MicroCon) Stealth Microwave, Inc. (Stealth) and MICA Microwave Corporation
(MICA). The operating results of MICA have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since June 5, 2007, the date of acquisition (See Note 3). In September 2007, the Enon subsidiary was dissolved and its
operations were merged with and into the Micronetics operations. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting
period. Estimates and judgments include revenue recognition, assumptions used in stock option and goodwill valuations, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, purchase price allocation,
valuation of investments, intangibles, accrued liabilities, and deferred income taxes and various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
The Companys investments consist of auction rate securities (ARS) with varying maturities. The Companys
ARS are issued by a closed-end fixed income investment fund that holds auctions every 28 days to reset the dividend rates for the next period. The Company has classified the $250,000 ARS as a long-term investment based on the lack of liquidity
relating to these securities. The Company believes that the carrying value of its ARS approximates fair value at June 28, 2008. The investments are classified as available for sale and any unrealized holding gains or losses, if any,
will be recorded as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of tax.
Revenue recognition
The Company generates
revenue from the sale of products, technology development, and licensing. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of product has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or
determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and no future services are required. The Companys products are primarily hardware components, and to a lesser extent integrated assembly which includes microwave hardware and embedded software,
that are delivered to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of telecommunication and networking products who are considered to be end users.
7
The Company sells its products using a direct sales force and sales representatives. Contracts with
customers do not include product return rights or price protection. The estimated costs of product warranties are accrued based on historical experience at the time the revenue is recognized. Unless customers purchase an extended warranty,
Micronetics offers a one-year warranty.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements
(SFAS No. 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be used on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair
value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. Under SFAS 157, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Provisions of SFAS 157, as issued, are effective
for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2,
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157
, (FSP 157-2) that amended SFAS
157 to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (that is, at least annually). FSP 157-2 defers
the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008 with respect to financial assets
and financial liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Note 12 for the fair value measurement
disclosures for these assets and liabilities. The Company is in the process of analyzing the potential impact of SFAS No. 157 relating to its planned April 1, 2009 adoption of the remainder of the standard.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159)
. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted, provided the Company also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. Although the Company has adopted SFAS 159 as of April 1, 2008, the Company has not
elected the fair value options for any items permitted under SFAS 159.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) 07-03,
Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities
(EITF 07-03). EITF 07-03 requires companies to defer and capitalize
prepaid nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used for future research and development activities over the period that the research and development activities are performed or the services are provided, subject to an
assessment of recoverability. The provisions of EITF 07-3 are effective beginning April 1, 2008. The adoption of EITF 07-03 did not have any effect on the Companys financial statements
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(Revised),
Business Combinations
(SFAS 141(Revised)), which replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141,
Business Combinations
(SFAS 141). SFAS 141(Revised) requires the assets acquired, liabilities
assumed, and any non-controlling interest to be measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. SFAS 141(Revised) also requires expensing of acquisition related costs and restructuring costs, and re-measurement of earn out provisions at
fair value. SFAS 141(Revised) is effective for any of the Companys business combinations on or after April 1, 2009. SFAS 141 (Revised) will have an impact on accounting for business combinations once adopted but the effect is dependent
upon acquisitions at the time.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3,
Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets
(FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the
fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(Revised) and other applicable accounting literature. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of FSP
FAS 142-3 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
(SFAS 160). SFAS 160 clarifies the accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a
subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company on April 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of SFAS 160 will have on its consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.
3. ACQUISITION
On June 5, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization (the Merger Agreement) with MICA, a California corporation whereby MICA became a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Micronetics. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company acquired all of the common stock of MICA for $3.0 million in cash and $2.0 million in shares of Micronetics common stock (248,135 shares). A post-closing
adjustment of $20,522 was recorded during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 based upon MICAs net worth on the closing date.

The acquisition of MICA provides a broader range of RF/Microwave products, including high performance
mixers and ferrites to the Company, and will provide the Company with further integrated microwave sub-systems and systems solutions.

The acquisition of MICA was accounted for as a purchase under SFAS No. 141, Business
Combinations. Accordingly, the operating results of MICA have been included in the Companys consolidated financial statements since the June 5, 2007 acquisition date. The Company estimated the useful lives of the acquired other
intangible assets to be one to ten years and has included them in intangible assets, net, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2008. The values and useful lives assigned to intangible assets were based on management
estimates and guidance from an independent appraisal.
The following table sets forth certain pro forma results for the thirteen weeks

Amortization costs of approximately $69,000 related to the purchase price in 2007 were assessed to the quarter ended June 30, 2007 income. Management believes that including
these adjustments allows investors to better compare results in the future periods.

Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility which consists of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit. The term loan is guaranteed by the
Companys subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of the Companys assets. The term loan is payable in quarterly principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the 3 month libor rate plus 1.8%, which at June 28,
2008 was 6.40%.
11
The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $6.5 million in April
2007 to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the term loan. The interest rate swap was not designated as a hedging instrument at the initiation of the swap, and therefore the Company has not applied hedge accounting. As a result, at
the end of each reporting period, the value of the interest rate swap is recorded as an accrued expense on the consolidated balance sheet, with any related gains or losses charged to earnings. As of June 28, 2008, the Company recorded an
unrealized gain of $102,801 to reflect the change in estimated fair value for the interest rate swap in the consolidated income statement.
The revolving line of credit bears interest at the current prime rate, which at June 28, 2008 was 5%. The Company had an entire line of $5.0 million available at June 28, 2008.
Under the terms of the term loan and the revolver, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis,
including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.25:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25:1, and minimum tangible net worth of $7.5 million. At June 28, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all financial debt covenants.
Mortgage payable, NH
In February 2004,
Micronetics refinanced the mortgage on its headquarters by entering into a new five-year mortgage payable for $630,000. The note bears interest at 5.75% per annum and is payable in monthly installments, including interest, of $12,107. This loan
is secured by the land and building of Micronetics headquarters.
Mortgage payable, MA
In March 2003, in connection with the purchase of a portion of a commercial condominium housing Micronetics Enon division, Micronetics entered into
a mortgage payable for $352,750. In May 2007, the commercial condominium was sold and the remaining mortgage was settled.
Capital leases
Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest rates that range from 8.67% to
10.6% per annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
9. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND
STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION
At June 28, 2008, the Company had two stock option plans under which grants were outstanding. The stock
options outstanding are for grants issued under the Companys 2003 Stock Option Plan and the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan.
The 2003 Stock Incentive
Plan
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled The 2003 Stock Incentive
Plan (the 2003 Plan) under which the Company may grant options to purchase up to 900,000 shares of common stock plus any shares of common stock remaining available for issuance as of July 22, 2003 under the 1996 Plan. In
July 2006 the Board of Directors determined that it would not issue any new option awards under the 2003 Plan. As of June 28, 2008, there were 466,325 options outstanding under the 2003 Plan.
The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
During the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) under which the Company may grant shares of restricted stock or options to purchase up to 1,000,000
shares of common stock. As of June 28, 2008 there were 296,000 options and 25,000 shares of restricted stock outstanding under the 2006 Plan.
12
The 1996 Plan, the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan are administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee
of the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine the persons to whom the options may be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each option grant, and the terms and provisions of each option grant. Options
granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified options, and may be issued to employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of
options granted under the 1996 Plan, the 2003 Plan and the 2006 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date of grant, and may not be granted more than ten years from the date of adoption of each
respective plan or exercised more than ten years from the date of grant.

During the year ended March 31, 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 10,000 shares
of common stock with an exercise price of $8.40 to a former employee. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2008, 5,000 options vested with the remaining options vesting on July 31, 2008. The options have a contractual life of 10 years. The Company
valued the options under SFAS 123(R) at the fair value on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. The Company recorded $23,981 in compensation expense for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 related to the
non-employee options, and will re-measure compensation expense related to the unvested options when fully vested.
The following table

Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested options is approximately
$1.2 million, and will be recorded over the remaining vesting periods of 4.43 years. This estimate is based on the number of unvested options currently outstanding and could change based on the number of options granted or forfeited in the future.
13
The Company granted 25,000 shares of restricted stock to an employee under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan
on November 14, 2007. The shares were issued at a purchase price of $.01 per share. The fair value of the restricted stock was determined based on the fair value of the Companys common stock on the grant date. Upon issuance of the
restricted stock 10,000 shares were vested, with the remaining 15,000 shares to vest twenty percent upon the completion of each quarterly period thereafter. The stock will be fully vested on August 14, 2008. As a result of the issuance of the
restricted stock, the Company recognized $39,500 during the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 and $19,750 remaining in unearned compensation cost as of June 28, 2008, to be recognized during the next quarter of Fiscal 2009.
There were 15,000 options granted in the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 and 178,000 in the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007. The fair
value of options issued were estimated at the date of grant with the following weighted-average assumptions for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted for the thirteen weeks ended
June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 was $4.15 and $4.08.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Companys effective tax rate was 44% and 55% for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007. The decrease in the
effective tax rate is primarily related to a decrease in incentive stock-based compensation expense, which is not deductible for tax purposes.
The Companys adoption of FIN No. 48 on April 1, 2007 resulted in the recognition of $96,443 of previously uncertain tax benefits which, in accordance with FIN No. 48, the cumulative amount was accounted for as an
adjustment to the April 1, 2007 retained earnings balance in the first quarter of Fiscal 2008.
The amount of uncertain tax benefits
as of June 28, 2008 was $81,000, which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Companys annual effective tax rate. The Companys policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax position as a component of
income tax expense, if any. The FIN No. 48 analysis for the thirteen weeks ended June 28, 2008 resulted in an accrual of $1,000 for interest and penalties.
As of April 1, 2008, the Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is open to examination for tax years March 31, 2005 through 2008.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is
computed based on the net income for each period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the net income per period divided by the weighted average number of common
shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options. The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the thirteen weeks
ended June 28, 2008 and June 30, 2007 (unaudited) are:

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
As indicated in Note 2, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities effective April 1, 2008. SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value as an exit price representing the
amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, SFAS 157 establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes, in descending order, the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
|
|
|
Level 1 Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the
reporting date.
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Inputs used to measure fair value, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting
date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or
other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for
substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant
management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize managements estimates of market participant assumptions.
|
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair
value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, consistent with SFAS 157, include the following as of June 28, 2008.

As of June 28, 2008, the Companys long-term investments consisted of $250,000 of auction
rate securities which were issued by a closed-end fund. Since March 31, 2008, the auction rate securities held by the Company have not been downgraded and have not defaulted on their dividend payments. Additionally, in June 2008, the issuer of the
auction rate securities redeemed approximately 60% of the funds outstanding auction preferred shares that were held by the Company. Based on this analysis, the Companys auction rate securities are not deemed to be impaired as of June 28,
2008.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this report contain words such as
could, expects, may, anticipates, believes, intends, estimates, plans, envisions, and other similar language and are considered
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate and are merely our current predictions of future events. In
addition, other written or oral statements which are considered forward-looking may be made by us or others on our behalf. These statements are subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and the actual
outcome may be materially different. Some of the factors which could cause results or events to differ from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the factors described below. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking
statements to reflect new information or developments.
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. We urge readers
to review carefully the risk factors described below and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can read these documents at www.sec.gov. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or
that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and the data used to prepare them. Our consolidated financial statements have
been prepared based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, inventory
valuation and obsolescence, long-lived assets, business combination purchase price allocation and goodwill impairment, stock-based compensation, warranty obligations, and the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset. 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. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We discuss recently adopted and issued accounting standards
in Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2.
Acquisition
On June 5, 2007, we acquired MICA Microwave, Inc. (MICA), a California corporation in a merger transaction pursuant to which MICA became
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Micronetics, and the holders of MICA common stock were paid $3.0 million in cash and $2.0 million in shares of Micronetics common stock. A post closing adjustment of $20,522 was recorded during the thirteen weeks
ended June 28, 2008 based upon MICAs net worth on the closing date.
The acquisition of MICA provides us with a broader range of
RF/Microwave products, including high performance mixers and ferrites, and will provide us with further integrated microwave sub-systems and systems solutions.
Overview
Micronetics manufactures microwave and radio frequency (RF) components and integrated multifunction
subassemblies used in a variety of commercial wireless, defense and aerospace products, including satellite communications, electronic warfare and electronic counter-measures. We also manufacture and design test equipment, subassemblies and
components that are used to test the strength, durability and integrity of signals in communications equipment. Our products are embedded in a variety of radars, electronic warfare systems, guidance systems, wireless telecommunications and satellite
equipment. Our microwave devices are used on subassemblies and integrated systems in addition to being sold on a component basis.
15
Micronetics operates through its four wholly owned subsidiaries, Micro-Con, MVS, Stealth and MICA. In
September 2007, a fifth subsidiary, Enon Microwave was dissolved and its operations were merged with and into the Micronetics operations. These subsidiaries, along with Micronetics NH based facility, manufacture products in three major
product categories: RF Microwave Components, Microwave Integrated Multifunction Subassemblies and Test Solutions.
We sell primarily to
original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense electronic marketplace. Many of those customers are prime contractors for defense work or larger Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations.
A key driver of demand for Micronetics products is the pervasive transformation of information from the analog domain to the digital
domain. Because digital technologies require greater degrees of precision and rely more on miniature circuits than analog technologies, testing is critical for the rapid commercialization of reliable products necessitated by broadband and wireless
communication technologies. As the speed to market challenges increase, larger companies are relying increasingly on other companies to manufacture a module or an integrated subassembly to perform such testing. This module or subassembly is then
assembled by the larger company into an integrated piece of equipment and sold to a customer. Micronetics has been seeking to capitalize on this trend by increasing its capability of manufacturing integrated subassemblies. Our goal is to leverage
our high power and noise technology to continue to be the most reliable microwave subsystem supplier in the merchant marketplace.
Results of
Operations
The Consolidated Statements of Income for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007 include the operations of MICA from the
acquisition date of June 5, 2007.
Thirteen Weeks Ended June 28, 2008 compared to June 30, 2007
Net sales
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended
June 28, 2008 (Q1 FY 09) were $7,086,657, an increase of $775,992, or 12% as compared to $6,310,665 for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2007 (Q1 FY 08). The increase in net sales for Q1 FY 09 is primarily
attributable to an increase in net sales of $800,000 in sales of high performance mixers and ferrites from MICA. Commercial and defense revenues were 56% and 44%, respectively, of the total revenues for Q1 FY 09, as compared to 68% and 32%,
respectively, for Q1 FY 08 primarily due to the reduction in net sales of higher performance power amplifiers to the commercial market offset by increased spending in the defense market for jamming and electronic system modernization.
Gross profit margin
Gross profit as a percent of
sales increased to 42% for Q1 FY 09 from 38% for Q1 FY 08. The increase is primarily attributable to increased average selling prices for electronic systems modernization programs and higher revenue and efficiencies related to products on jamming
applications.
Research and development
Research and development (R&D) expense increased $188,229 for Q1 FY 09 as compared to Q1 FY 08, primarily due to development work on an inflight high-speed internet transceiver product, high power products for defense
applications and a new product line for commercial telecom applications. Accordingly, R&D expenses as a percentage of sales increased from 2.4% for Q1 FY 08 to 4.8% for Q1 FY 09.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expense increased $560,932 or 34% to $2,199,587 for Q1 FY 09 as compared to $1,638,655 for Q1 FY 08. The increase was attributable to the inclusion of MICAs SG&A expenses of $201,000 for the full thirteen weeks in Q1 FY09 as compared to
four weeks in Q1 FY08. In addition, the Company incurred increased professional fees of $189,000 related to its compliance with Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and its Fiscal 2008 financial reporting. Also, salaries and benefits,
stock-based compensation, bonus expense and commissions increased by $140,000. As a result, SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales increased to 31% Q1 FY 09 as compared to 26% for Q1 FY 08.
16
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization expense attributable to the intangible assets related to the acquisition of Stealth and MICA was $177,106 for Q1 FY 09 as compared to $183,093 for Q1 FY 08.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased $15,879
or 14% to $98,867 for Q1 FY 09 as compared to $114,746 for Q1 FY 08 primarily due to lower borrowings during Q1 FY 09.
Unrealized gain on interest rate
swap
An unrealized gain of $102,801 was recorded for Q1 FY 09 to reflect the change in fair value of the mark to market valuation for
the interest rate swap agreement entered into in April 2007 to mitigate the interest rate fluctuations on our term loan.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 44% for Q1 FY 09 as compared to 55% for Q1 FY 08. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the thirteen
weeks ended June 28, 2008 is primarily due to a decrease in incentive stock-based compensation expense, which is not deductible for tax purposes as compared to Q1 FY 08.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operating and investment
requirements primarily through operating cash flow and borrowings. We had cash and working capital at June 28, 2008 of $3,430,202 and $11,499,829, respectively, as compared with cash and working capital of $3,163,415 and $11,197,241,
respectively at March 31, 2008. Our current ratio was approximately 3.21 to 1 at June 28, 2008, as compared to 3.06 to 1 at March 31, 2008.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $377,358 during Q1 FY 09 as compared to net cash used by operating activities of $45,377 during Q1 FY 08 The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was
primarily the result of an unrealized gain on interest rate swap of $102,801 and a net increase in working capital of $400,082 partially offset by an increase in stock-based compensation of $60,575. The primary change in working capital was a
reduction in accounts receivable of $831,193 partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $380,358.
Net cash provided by
investing activities was $249,824 during Q1 FY 09 as compared to net cash used by investing activities of $4,218,130 in Q1 FY 08. During Q1 FY 08, MICA was acquired for $3,095,050 and the final earnout payment of $1.5 million was made to the former
stockholders of Stealth. Investing activities incurred by the Company during Q1 FY 09 included the sale of investments of $400,000 offset by purchase of equipment of $170,698.
Net cash used in financing activities was $360,395 during Q1 FY 09 as compared to $523,551 during Q1 FY 08 primarily due to repayments on the mortgages
and term loans in Q1 FY 09.
Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility consisting of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit, which replaced the then existing $6.0 million
term loan entered into in June 2005.
The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement in April 2007 to mitigate interest rate
fluctuations on the term loan. At the end of each reporting period the Company records the current fair value of the interest rate swap on the balance sheet. Any unrealized gain or loss on the swap is charged to earnings.
The term loan is guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries and secured by substantially all of our assets. The term loan is payable in quarterly
principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the 3 month LIBOR rate plus 1.8%, which at June 28, 2008 was 6.40%. The term loan expires in June 2012.
The revolving line of credit bears interest at the current prime rate, which at June 28, 2008 was 5.0%. We had $5.0 million available under the line at June 28, 2008. The revolving line of credit
expires in March 2010.
Under the terms of the term loan and the revolver, we are required to maintain certain financial covenants on a
quarterly and annual basis, including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.25:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25:1, and minimum tangible net worth of $7.5 million. At June 28, 2008, we were in compliance with all financial debt
covenants.

Mortgage payable, NH
In February 2004, Micronetics refinanced the mortgage on its headquarters, entering into a new five-year mortgage payable for $630,000. The note bears interest at 5.75% per annum and is payable in monthly
installments, including interest, of $12,107. This loan is secured by the land and building of Micronetics headquarters.
Mortgage payable, MA
In March 2003, in connection with the purchase of a portion of a commercial condominium housing Micronetics Enon division,
Micronetics entered into a mortgage payable for $352,750. In May 2007, the commercial condominium was sold and the remaining mortgage was settled.
Capital leases
Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest rates that range
from 8.67% to 10.6% per annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, anticipated future cash receipts, and borrowings available under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due for the next twelve months. However, a
decrease in our sales or demand for our products would likely adversely affect our working capital amounts. As part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies. Accordingly, a
portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses. These potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which, in turn, may require us to seek additional debt or
equity financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to consummate any such transaction. There are no current plans to raise additional debt or equity capital, nor is there a projected need to raise any such capital.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not
have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
We are
exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investing activities. Our investment portfolio consists of auction rate securities (ARS). The Companys ARS are
issued by a closed-end fixed income investment fund that holds auctions every 28 days to reset the dividend rates for the next period. The Company has classified the $250,000 ARS as a long-term investment based on the current lack of liquidity
relating to these securities. If auctions fail for securities in which we have invested, we may be unable to liquidate some or all of our ARS at par and may be required to record impairment charges.
We are subject to interest rate exposure on our long-term debt. Our long-term borrowings are in variable rate instruments, with interest rates tied to either the Prime
Rate or the LIBOR. We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to minimize our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on these borrowings. Our interest rate swap has not been designated as a hedging instrument, therefore changes in fair
value are recognized in earnings.
We conduct our transactions with foreign customers in U.S. dollars. Although we are not subject to the risks of foreign
currency fluctuations directly, demand from foreign customers may be affected by the relative change in value of the customers currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may also change our
prices relative to the prices of our foreign competitors.

Controls and Procedures
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and
procedures
As of June 28, 2008, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and
Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 28, 2008 to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company was made known to them by
others within the Company and to enable the Company to record, process, summarize and report information required to be included in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the required time period.
Changes in internal control
There were no significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarter ended June 28, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.
Important considerations
The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions
about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be
successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.

Legal Proceedings.
|
The Company is not a party to
any material pending legal proceedings.
This report contains forward-looking
statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our objectives, expectations and intentions. You should consider carefully all of the material risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2008, as well as the cautionary statements made elsewhere in the Annual Report and in this report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Such cautionary statements are applicable to all forward-looking statements
wherever they appear in this report. If any of the events described therein occur, our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline,
and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors
previously disclosed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.
We depend on sole or limited
source suppliers, and any disruption in supply could impair our ability to deliver our products on time or at expected cost.
We obtain
many key components for our products from third-party suppliers, and in some cases we use a single or a limited number of suppliers. Specifically, we obtain certain semi-conductor components for our voltage controlled oscillators from a sole
supplier. We have experienced recent disruptions and limitations of these semi-conductor components which have affected our ability to deliver our products. Additional interruptions in supply of the semi-conductor components or other products from
third-party suppliers could impair our ability to deliver our products until we identify a new source of supply, which could take several weeks, months or longer and could increase our costs significantly. In general, we do not have written
long-term supply agreements with our suppliers but instead purchase components through purchase orders, which expose us to potential price increases and termination of supply without notice or recourse. If we are required to use a new source of
materials or components, it could also result in unexpected manufacturing difficulties and could affect product performance and reliability.
