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, 2009. 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 December 26, 2009 and the results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended
December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008.
The Company reports its fiscal quarters using 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 third quarter of Fiscal 2010
has 91 days as compared to 91 in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009. The Companys fiscal year end is March 31.
The
results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ended March 31, 2010.
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, test equipment and integrated multifunction subassemblies 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), Microwave Concepts, Inc. (MicroCon), Stealth Microwave, Inc. (Stealth) and MICA Microwave
Corporation (MICA). All intercompany activity has been eliminated.
Use of estimates
The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 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.
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 assemblies 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.
The Company occasionally enters into contracts for production of highly customized microwave and radio frequency components and integrated sub-assemblies which it records revenue based on the percentage
of completion method (assuming all other requirements for revenue recognition have been satisfied) typically using labor hours to measure progress toward completion of the contract as the Company has determined this methodology best reflects the
fundamentals of the contract. If estimates to complete the contract change materially from one period to the next, profit levels could significantly vary. Deferred revenue represents billings in excess of revenue recognized and unbilled revenue
represents revenue recognized in excess of billings.
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 typically offers a one-year warranty.

MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued)
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
On April 1, 2009, the
Company implemented the provisions ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 provides a consistent definition of fair value that focuses on exit price, prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over
entity-specific inputs for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements. The Provisions of ASC 820, as issued, are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB delayed 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) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for items within the scope. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions of ASC 805 Business
Combinations (ASC 805) which provides revised guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets and goodwill acquired. The standard now requires the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest to
be measured at their fair values as of the acquisition date. ASC 805 also requires expensing of acquisition related costs and restructuring costs, and re-measurement of earn out provisions at fair value. This standard is effective for any of the
Companys business combinations on or after April 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions of ASC 810-10-65-1 Consolidation (ASC 810-10-65-1).
This standard clarifies the accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, including classification as a component of equity. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions of ASC 815-10-65
Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815-10-65), which expands the disclosure requirements about an entitys derivative instruments and hedging activities. This standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods
beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions ASC 350 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing
renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible. The intent of the amendment is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows
used to measure the fair value of the asset. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this amendment which did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions of ASC 260-10 Earnings Per Share (ASC
260-10), which provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of
earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption, a company is required to retrospectively adjust its earnings per share data, including any
amounts related to interim periods, summaries of earnings and selected financial data, to conform to the provisions of the new standard. The adoption of this standard did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the Company implemented the provisions of ASC 350-30 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other
(ASC 350-30), which clarifies the accounting for certain separately identifiable intangible assets which an acquirer does not intend to actively use but intends to hold to prevent its competitors from obtaining access to them. This
standard requires an acquirer in a business combination to account for a defensive intangible asset as a separate unit of accounting which should be amortized to expense over the period the asset diminishes in value. This standard is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. The adoption of this standard which did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10-65-1 Financial Instruments, which requires an entity to provide disclosures about fair
value of financial instruments in interim financial information. This standard is to be applied prospectively and is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted for periods ending after
March 15, 2009. On April 1, 2009 the Company adopted this standard which only impacted disclosures in the Companys consolidated financial statements. See Note 11, Fair Value Measurements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 Subsequent Events. This ASC establishes general standards of accounting and disclosures
of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of this ASC requires us to evaluate all subsequent events that occur after the balance sheet date through the
date and time our financial statements are issued. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company evaluated its December 26, 2009 financial statements for
subsequent events through February 2, 2010, the date the financial statements were issued. The Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued)
In June 2009, the FASB, issued ASC 105 which is the single source of authoritative
nongovernmental U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, or AICPA, Emerging Issues Task Force, or EITF, and related accounting literature. This standard
reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included is relevant Securities and Exchange Commission guidance organized using the same topical structure in
separate sections. This standard was effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted this standard for the interim period ending September 26, 2009. The adoption of
this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements, however, it did change our references to GAAP in our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value. ASU 2009-05 amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, by providing additional
guidance on determining the fair value of liabilities when a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available. This ASU became effective for us on September 27, 2009 and did not impact our consolidated financial
statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13,
Revenue Recognition (Topic 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force), which amends ASC 605-25, Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Element Arrangements. ASU
No. 2009-13 addresses how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of accounting and how to allocate consideration to each unit of accounting in the arrangement. This ASU replaces all
references to fair value as the measurement criteria with the term selling price and establishes a hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. ASU No. 2009-13 also eliminates the use of the residual value method for
determining the allocation of arrangement consideration. Additionally, ASU No. 2009-13 requires expanded disclosures. This ASU will become effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1,
2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of adoption. We are currently evaluating the application date and the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-14, Software (Topic 985): Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software
Elements (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU No. 2009-14 amends ASC 985-605, Software: Revenue Recognition, such that tangible products, containing both software and non-software components that function
together to deliver the tangible products essential functionality, are no longer within the scope of ASC 985-605. It also amends the determination of how arrangement consideration should be allocated to deliverables in a multiple-deliverable
revenue arrangement. This ASU will become effective for us for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified on or after April 1, 2011. Earlier application is permitted with required transition disclosures based on the period of
adoption. We are currently evaluating the application date and the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements. Both ASU No. 2009-13 and ASU No. 2009-14 must be adopted in the same period and must use the same
transition disclosures.
In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860):
Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. ASU No. 2009-16 is a revision to ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and amends the guidance on accounting for transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions,
where entities have continued exposure to risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU No. 2009-16 also expands the disclosure requirements for such transactions. This ASU will become effective for us on April 1, 2010. We are
currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2009, the FASB issued
ASU No. 2009-17, Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. ASU No. 2009-17 amends the guidance for consolidation of VIEs primarily related to the
determination of the primary beneficiary of the VIE. This ASU will become effective for us on April 1, 2010. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our consolidated financial statements.

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, which expires in March 2012. 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 rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. At December 26, 2009, the interest rate was 8.95%. The final payment for the term loan is in April 2012. The revolving line of credit bears interest
at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At December 26, 2009, the interest rate was 4.48%. The Company had $1,504,000 available under the line at December 26, 2009.
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 change in value of the interest rate swap is recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, with any related gains or losses charged to earnings. For the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009, the Company recorded an unrealized
gain of $86,814 in the statement of operations to reflect the change in estimated fair value for the interest rate swap. For the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1,018. The net unrealized
loss on the interest rate swap amounted to approximately $194,000 at December 26, 2009.
12
MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued)
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, a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1 and minimum tangible net worth of $7.5 million. The
Company obtained an amendment to the term loan and revolver agreements to include the goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges as an add-back to the EBITDA covenants. The Company also obtained an Amendment and Waiver Agreement to the term
loan and revolver agreements to waive the EBITDA covenants and to substitute modified quarterly EBITDA covenants through March 31, 2010. Under the terms of the amendment, the interest rate increased from a maximum of LIBOR plus 2.5% to a
maximum of LIBOR plus 4.25% for the revolving line of credit and a maximum adjusted LIBOR plus 3.75% for the term loan. The interest rate may decrease to a minimum of LIBOR plus 2.5% based upon future performance. The Company does not expect the
change in the interest rates will have a material adverse affect on its cash flows for Fiscal 2010. In October 2009 the Company obtained an additional waiver and amendment to the quarterly EBITDA covenants and as of December 26, 2009 was in
compliance with the amended bank covenants.
Capital leases
Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest rates that range from 6.4% to 10.6% per
annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Included in the current portion of long-term debt is $112,440 for capital lease obligations. Included in long-term debt net of current
portion is $102,763 for capital lease obligations. The remaining interest associated with the Companys capital lease obligations amounts to approximately $15,000 over the lease terms.
8. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
At December 26, 2009, 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 Stock Option Plan.
In July 2006, the Board of Directors determined that it would not issue any new option awards under the 2003 Plan. As of December 26, 2009, there were 236,600 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 December 26, 2009 there were 219,500 options outstanding under the 2006 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 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 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued)
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 vested, with the remaining 15,000 shares to vest twenty percent upon the completion of each quarterly period thereafter. The stock fully vested on August 14, 2008. As a result of the issuance of
the restricted stock, the Company recognized $59,250 in compensation expense during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008.
There were 10,000 options granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 and 3,000 options granted during the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008. The fair value of options issued
was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions for the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008.

9. INCOME TAXES
Before discreet items the Companys effective tax rate was 42% and 33% for the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 and
December 27, 2008 as well as for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008. In the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009, the Company recorded true-up adjustments totaling approximately $21,000
primarily related to the filing of our Fiscal 2009 tax return. In the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008, the Company recorded a discreet item of $3.1 million related to a goodwill impairment charge that was non-tax deductible. In addition,
there were true-up adjustment charges of approximately $17,000 associated with the filing of our Fiscal 2008 tax return.
The
amount of uncertain tax benefits as of December 26, 2009 was $6,413, which, if ultimately recognized, will reduce the Companys annual effective tax rate. During the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008, the uncertain tax benefits
were reduced from $9,000 to $6,000 due to the statute of limitations expiring on the 2005 fiscal tax year The Companys policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense, if
any.
As of April 1, 2009, the Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company
has been advised that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to review its March 31, 2008 tax return.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share, or EPS, is computed based on the net income or loss for each period divided by the weighted
average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed based on the net income or loss per period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during
each period unless the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The computations of basic and diluted EPS for
the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 and December 27, 2008 are:

For the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008 there were no
shares that were included in the computation of diluted loss per share because the market price of the Companys stock was lower than the exercise price of all potentially dilutive shares. The number of potentially dilutive shares available
under exercisable options at December 26, 2009 was 315,600. The number of potentially anti-dilutive shares available under exercisable options at December 27, 2008 was 399,125.
11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company assesses 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, this standard 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, include the following as of December 26, 2009.

The fair value of the money market fund was determined by using available market
prices for the underlying securities. There has been no change in the fair value of the money market fund since March 31, 2009. The fair value of the interest rate swap was determined by using a market driven valuation model using the LIBOR
rate forecast applied to common intervals for the remaining term of the interest rate swap.

MICRONETICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued)
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash, investments,
trade receivables, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit and capital leases approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount of our
term debt approximates fair market value because it is based on a variable interest rate.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On September 4, 2008, Micronetics, Inc. entered into a lease with SBJ Development, LLC (the Landlord) for a new headquarters
for Stealth Microwave, Inc, its subsidiary. The property is located in the Township of Ewing, New Jersey. The lease has an initial term of five years and contains three options to extend the lease, each for a term of five years. The annual rent for
the initial term of the lease is $225,600.
Both Stephen N. Barthelmes, Jr., a former director of Micronetics and President of
Micronetics subsidiary Stealth Microwave, Inc., and Kevin Beals, President of Micronetics, are members of the Landlord. Mr. Barthelmes and Mr. Beals own twenty-one percent and sixteen percent, respectively, of the outstanding units
of membership interest of the Landlord.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Micronetics reviewed and approved
the terms of the lease prior to its execution.

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 here, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 herein, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009, 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 revenue recognition, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation and obsolescence, long-lived assets, business combination purchase price
allocation for acquired businesses 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 fiscal year
ended March 31, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We discuss recently adopted and issued accounting standards in Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2.
Overview
Micronetics designs and manufactures high performance 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 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.
We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense
electronic marketplace. Many of our customers are prime contractors for defense applications and/or Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations.
A key driver of demand for our 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. This module or subassembly is then integrated by the larger company into a piece of equipment and sold to a customer. Micronetics has been
seeking to capitalize on this trend by increasing its capability to manufacture integrated subassemblies. Our goal is to leverage our high power and noise technology to continue to be a highly reliable supplier of integrated microwave subsystems.

Results of Operations
Thirteen Weeks Ended December 26, 2009 compared to December 27, 2008
Net sales
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended December 26, 2009 (Q3 FY 10) were $9,009,161, an increase of $611,411, or 7% as compared to $8,397,750 for the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008 (Q3 FY 09).
Approximately $0.6 million of the increase is due to an increase in sales of integrated component sub-systems for defense jamming and electronic system modernization applications. Approximately $0.3 million of the increase is due to a contract for
components for a space based application. We expect this contract to be largely completed by the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010. These increases were offset by a decrease in component sales of approximately $0.3 million.
Gross margin
Gross margin for Q3 FY 10 was approximately 37% as compared to 33% for Q3 FY 09. The gross margin increased due to improved margins in commercial components. Also, in Q3 FY 09, we took a charge of approximately $185,000 for inventory
obsolescence related to the decline in our high performance amplifier business which adversely affected our gross margin percent of sales by approximately 2% in Q3 FY 09.
Research and development
Research and development
(R&D) expense for Q3 FY 10 was $411,059 as compared to $483,682 for Q3 FY 09, a decrease of $72,623 or 15%. The decrease in R&D spending is due to lower spending on high power, digital pre-distortion amplifier product
development. Our research and development expense varies to a certain degree based upon emerging technologies, shifts in product requirements and our assessment of future business opportunities. We expect total year research and development expense
for Fiscal 2010 to be lower than Fiscal 2009 due to lower spending requirements for in-flight, high-speed internet transceiver and commercial telecom products.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and
administrative expense for Q3 FY 10 was $1,877,494 as compared to $1,955,985 for Q3 FY 09, representing a decrease of $78,491 or 4%. Stock compensation expense decreased by approximately $83,000. Approximately one third of the decrease was due to
forfeitures and the remainder was due primarily to options being fully expensed. Bad debt expense increased by approximately $85,000. All other expenses decreased by approximately $80,000 as compared to Q3 FY 09.
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization expense attributable to our intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Stealth, MICA and RFID was $87,023 in Q3 FY 10 as compared to $160,857 in Q3 FY 09 or a decrease of $73,834.
Approximately $104,000 of the decrease was due to an intangible asset impairment charge, which we recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009, which was offset in part by an increase of approximately $20,000 associated with the acquisition of our
RFID product line.
Impairment of Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually and when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair
value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step is to determine if there is an impairment and the second step is to determine the amount of the impairment.
During the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008, we experienced a significant decline in our stock price. As a result of this decline
in stock price the Companys market capitalization fell significantly below the recorded value of its consolidated net assets. In addition, we experienced a decline in the commercial market for high performance analog amplifiers necessary for
wireless applications, which had an adverse affect on our high performance amplifier sales. Accordingly, in the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008, we performed an assessment of goodwill for impairment which resulted in an impairment charge
of approximately $4.9 million and $3.1 million for the high performance amplifier and mixer/ferrite reporting units, respectively. In performing the step 1 goodwill assessment, we used, discounted cash flows, sales and EBITDA multiples as the best
evidence of fair value. For purposes of testing impairment we have three separate reporting units with goodwill. Testing was performed separately for each of the three goodwill reporting units and an impairment charge was recorded at two of the
goodwill reporting units (high power amplifier and mixer/ferrite product groups).
19
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
In the third quarter of Fiscal 2009 we determined that the customer list intangible asset related to the high performance amplifier business
was impaired and we recorded a charge of approximately $1.3 million as a result of significant decline in sales and projected sales to this group of customers.
Interest expense
Interest expense for Q3 FY 10 was $131,820 as
compared to $90,366 for Q3 FY 09 or an increase of $41,454. The increase was primarily due to higher average borrowings during Q3 FY 10 and to a lesser degree by slightly higher average interest rates in Fiscal 2010.
Interest rate swap
An unrealized gain of $32,204 was recorded for Q3 FY 10 as compared to an unrealized loss of $112,850 recorded in Q3 FY 09 to reflect the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreement entered
into in April 2007 to mitigate interest rate fluctuations on our term loan.
Provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate for Q3 FY 10 was 42% as compared to 33% for Q3 FY 09. In the thirteen weeks ended
December 26, 2009, we recorded true-up adjustments totaling approximately $21,000 primarily related to the filing of our Fiscal 2009 tax return. In the thirteen weeks ended December 27, 2008, we recorded a discrete item of $3.1 million
related to a goodwill impairment charge that is non-tax deductible. In addition, there were true-up adjustment charges of approximately $17,000 associated with the filing of our Fiscal 2008 tax return and $3,000 of uncertain tax benefits recognized
due to the statute of limitations expiring on the 2005 fiscal tax year for Micronetics, Inc. and Subsidiaries.
Backlog
Our backlog is approximately $32 million as of December 26, 2009 as compared to approximately $24 million as of
December 27, 2008. The increase in our backlog is primarily a result of orders for integrated sub-assemblies.
Thirty-nine Weeks Ended December 26, 2009 compared to December 27, 2008
Net sales
Net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 were $25,742,328, an increase of $3,712,468, or 17% as
compared to $22,029,860 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008. Of the increase approximately $2.1 million is due to an increase in sales of integrated component sub-systems for defense jamming and electronic system modernization
applications. Approximately $0.7 million of the increase is due to our recently acquired RFID technology and is for the beta test portion of a purchase agreement containing an option for full scale production roll-out upon successful completion of
this phase. The beta test is currently underway. Approximately $1.0 million of the increase is due to a contract for components for a space based application. We expect this contract to be completed in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2010.
Gross margin
Gross margin was 34% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to 35% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008. The decrease in gross margin was due to start-up
costs associated with the March 2009 acquisition of our RFID product line and initial costs to support our growing backlog related to integrated component sub-systems.
Research and development
Research and development
(R&D) expense was $1,257,121 an increase of $42,873 or 3% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to $1,214,248 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008. The increase in R&D spending is
due to a new high power, digital pre-distortion amplifier product line for commercial applications and a complex integrated assembly for a defense application which more than offset decreased spending on an in-flight high-speed internet transceiver
product. We expect total year research and development expense for Fiscal 2010 to be lower than Fiscal 2009 due to lower spending requirements for in-flight, high-speed internet transceiver and commercial telecom products.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense was $5,714,058 a decrease of $148,514 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to $5,862,572 for the thirty-nine weeks ended
December 27, 2008. Stock compensation decreased by approximately $302,000. Approximately one third of the decrease was due to forfeitures and the remainder was primarily due to options being fully expensed. In addition, bad debt expense
increased by approximately $220,000. All other expenses decreased by approximately $67,000.
20
Amortization expense
Amortization expense attributable to the intangible assets related to the acquisition of Stealth, MICA and RFID was $261,069 for the
thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to $498,820 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008 or a decrease of $237,751. Approximately $300,000 of the decrease was due to an intangible asset impairment charge, which
we recorded in the third quarter of Fiscal 2009, which was offset in part by an increase of approximately $60,000 associated with the acquisition of our RFID product line.
Interest rate swap
An unrealized gain of $86,814 was recorded for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to an unrealized gain of $1,018 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008 to
reflect the change in fair value of 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 42% for the
thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to 32% for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008. In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008, we recorded a discrete item of $3.1 million related to a goodwill
impairment charge that is non-tax deductible. In addition, approximately $56,000 of uncertain tax benefits were recognized due to the statute of limitations expiring for previously filed tax returns.
We have been advised that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to review our March 31, 2008 tax return.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operating and investment requirements primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents were
$667,135 and $620,259, respectively, at December 26, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Working capital defined as accounts receivable, unbilled revenue, inventory, prepaid expenses, other current assets net of accounts payable, accrued expenses and
deferred revenue was $11,364,729 and $11,549,933 at December 26, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Borrowings under our revolving line of credit were $3,495,381 and $3,502,620 at December 26, 2009 and March 31, 2009,
respectively.
Our current ratio was approximately 1.86 at December 26, 2009 as compared to 1.92 at March 31, 2009.
In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 net cash provided by operating activities was $2,236,150 as compared to
cash used in operating activities of $3,161,361 for the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008.
In the thirty-nine
weeks ended December 26, 2009, cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital reserves and an unrealized gain on interest rate swap was
approximately $2.3 million. Approximately $0.1 million was used to fund working capital needs. Of this amount, approximately $0.7 million was used to fund receivables and unbilled revenue as a result of higher sales and approximately $1.3 million
was used to fund inventory requirements primarily related to specific contracts. A tax refund net of tax payments provided approximately $0.9 million, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses provided approximately $0.8 million and cash
received and recorded as deferred revenue provided approximately $0.2 million.
In the thirty-nine weeks ended
December 27, 2008 cash provided by net loss after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital reserves and goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges was
approximately $2.2 million. Approximately $3.4 million was used for inventory related largely to contract anticipation for future sales. Approximately $1.4 million was used for prepaid expenses, principally prepaid income taxes. Approximately $0.6
million was used for receivables resulting from increased sales.
Net cash used in investing activities was $973,774 during
the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $24,687 in the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008. In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009 investing activities was
solely comprised of purchased equipment. A key contributor to our capital expenditures was the outfitting of Microcons new expanded leased facility. During the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008 we purchased equipment of $645,835
and sold investments of $650,000.
Net cash used for financing activities was $1,215,500 during the thirty-nine weeks ended
December 26, 2009 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $22,880 during the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008.
21
In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 26, 2009, we repaid term debt of approximately
$1.0 million and capital lease obligations of approximately $0.2 million. Our revolving debt remained essentially unchanged. In the thirty-nine weeks ended December 27, 2008 we borrowed approximately $2.4 million from our line of credit, repaid
mortgage obligations of approximately $1.1 million and re-purchased shares of our common stock for approximately $1.2 million.
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.
Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2007, we 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.
We 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 we record 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 as the swap does not
qualify for hedge accounting.
The term loan is guaranteed by our 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 rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. At December 26, 2009, our interest rate was 8.95%. The final payment for the term loan is in April
2012.
The revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At December 26, 2009, our
interest rate was 4.48%. We had approximately $1.5 million available under the line at December 26, 2009. The revolving line of credit expires in March 2012.
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, a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1 and minimum tangible net worth of $7.5 million. We obtained an amendment to the term loan and revolver agreements to include the goodwill and intangible asset impairment
charges as an add-back to the EBITDA covenants. We also obtained an Amendment and Waiver Agreement to the term loan and revolver agreements to waive our EBITDA covenants and to substitute modified quarterly EBITDA covenants through March 31,
2010. Under the terms of our amendment, our interest rate increased from a maximum of LIBOR plus 2.5% to a maximum of LIBOR plus 4.25% for our revolving line of credit and a maximum adjusted LIBOR plus 3.75% for our term loan. The interest rate may
decrease to a minimum of LIBOR plus 2.5% based upon future performance. We do not expect the change in the interest rates will have a material adverse affect on our cash flows for Fiscal 2010. In October 2009 we obtained an additional waiver and
amendment to our quarterly EBITDA covenants and remain in compliance with our amended bank covenants. As of December 26, 2009, we were in compliance with our amended bank covenants.
22
Capital leases
Commercial capital leases payable are reflected at their present value based upon interest rates that range from 6.4% to 10.6% per
annum, and are secured by the underlying assets. The assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Included in the current portion of long-term debt is $112,440 for capital lease obligations. Included in long-term debt net of current
portion is $102,763 for capital lease obligations. The remaining interest associated with our capital lease obligations amounts to approximately $15,000 over the lease terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial
statements.

Item 3.
|
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.
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.
Item 4.

Controls and Procedures
|
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of December 26, 2009, 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 (the
Exchange Act)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 26, 2009 to provide
reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company 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 the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control
There were no
significant changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the third quarter of Fiscal 2010 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
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.
