NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, have been included in order to make the information not misleading. Information included in the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2010 has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended October 31, 2010 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three and nine months period ended July 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RF Industries, LTD and Cables Unlimited, Inc. (“Cables Unlimited”) and its variable interest entity (“VIE”) K&K Unlimited LLC (“K&K”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Cables Unlimited acquisition, which occurred June 15, 2011.

Revenue recognition

Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales after purchase orders are received, which contain a fixed price and the products are shipped. Most of the Company’s products are sold to continuing customers with established credit histories.

Variable interest entity

Management analyzes if the Company has any variable interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”). This analysis includes a qualitative review based on an evaluation of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability and financial agreements, as well as a quantitative review. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require a reporting entity to consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity has a variable interest that provides it with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The entity that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary of the VIE. See Note 3 for further discussion.

Note 2 - Business Acquisition

On June 15, 2011, RF Industries, Ltd. completed its acquisition of Cables Unlimited. Cables Unlimited is an established fiber optic custom cable manufacturer based in Long Island, New York. Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty. The products manufactured by Cables Unlimited include custom fiber optic cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communications, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment.

All of Cables Unlimited’s assets are located in the United States. There were no earnouts or contingent considerations included in the acquisition agreement.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their estimated fair values. The Company determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of appraisals or valuations performed by an independent third party specialist. Cables Unlimited is an established fiber optic custom cable manufacturer based in Long Island, New York. Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty. The products manufactured by Cables Unlimited include custom fiber optic cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communications, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment. These products supplement and enhance the existing markets of RF Industries as well as tap into new fiber optic cable markets that the Company would not have been able to enter without incurring substantially more costs than incurred in the purchase of Cables Unlimited. The capital and other resources required to enter the fiber optic market would have greatly exceeded the purchase price of $5.6 million. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of Cables Unlimited’s net identifiable assets acquired, and as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

Goodwill acquired was allocated to our operating segment and reporting unit Cables Unlimited as part of the purchase price allocation. We do not expect the goodwill recorded to be deductible for income tax purposes. Acquired amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from six months to 7.6 years. The purchase price allocation is preliminary as it includes several estimates, which are being refined.

The following table summarizes the components of the purchase price at fair value:

Cash consideration paid	$	2,800,000
RF Industries, Ltd. common shares issued, (762,738 shares)		2,800,000
Total consideration	$	5,600,000

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price at fair value:

Other assets	$	6,000
Accounts Receivable		814,000
Inventories		445,000
Property, plant and equipment		313,000
Intangible assets		2,940,000
Goodwill (all non-deductible for tax purposes)		2,642,000
Interest bearing liabilities		(7,000	)
Non-interest bearing liabilities		(372,000	)
Deferred tax liabilities		(1,181,000	)
Net assets	$	5,600,000

The results of Cables Unlimited operations subsequent to June 15, 2011 have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. In the three month period ended July 31, 2011, Cables Unlimited contributed approximately $909,000 of revenue.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined operating results of RFI Industries, Ltd. and Cables Unlimited as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. Pro forma data is subject to various assumptions and estimates, and is presented for informational purposes only. This pro forma data does not purport to represent or be indicative of the consolidated operating results that would have been reported had the transaction been completed as described herein, and the data should not be taken as indicative of future consolidated operating results.

Note 3 - Variable interest entity

K&K was formed on August 14, 2009 for the purpose of establishing a separation of legal ownership of the building where Cables Unlimited conducts its operations. Cables Unlimited’s former sole stockholder is the sole member of K&K. Cables Unlimited was deemed the primary beneficiary of K&K even though it has no direct ownership in K&K as it has the power to direct the activities of K&K that most significantly impact its economic performance and provides significant financial support through a lease agreement between Cables Unlimited and K&K and a guarantee by Cables Unlimited of K&K’s mortgage note payable to Teacher’s Federal Credit Union (“TFCU”)

As of July 31, 2011 and for the nine months then ended, K&K had assets of $1,627,645 ($68,118 in cash, $10,451 in other current assets, $1,477,648 in land and building, net and $71,427 in other assets), liabilities of $1,403,556, revenues of $26,000 and expenses of $9,522. Included in total consolidated assets are assets totaling $1,545,766 that represent collateral for these obligations.

Note 4 - Recent Accounting Standards

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010 - 29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010 - 29”), which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The new disclosures required by ASU 2010 – 29 is effective for the Company for periods beginning November 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010 - 29 is not expected to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 - Components of inventories

Inventories, consisting of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined using the weighted average cost method.

	July 31,			October 31,
	2011			2010

Raw materials and supplies	$	2,168,492		$	1,405,443
Work in process		21,551			15,425
Finished goods		4,195,085			3,348,944
Inventory reserve		(90,000	)		(161,969	)

Totals	$	6,295,128		$	4,607,843

Purchases of connector products from four major vendors in the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 represented 29%, 16%, 12% and 10% compared to three major vendors who represented 22%, 15%, and 13% of total inventory purchases for the same period in 2010. The Company has arrangements with these vendors to purchase product based on purchase orders periodically issued by the Company.

Note 6 - Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the effects of assuming that other potentially dilutive securities (such as stock options) outstanding during the period had been exercised and the treasury stock method had been applied. For the three months ended July 31, 2011, there were no anti-dilutive shares relating to the assumed exercise of stock. For the three months ended July 31, 2010, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 543,078 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $2.56 to $3.78 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose. For the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 420,008 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price range of $3.75 to $3.78 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose.

For the nine months ended July 31, 2010, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 540,078 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price range of $2.71 to $3.78 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

	Three Months Ended July 31				Nine Months Ended July 31
	2011		2010		2011		2010

Weighted average shares outstanding for basic net earnings per share		6,486,577		5,701,856		6,131,944		5,700,420

Add effects of potentially dilutive securities-assumed exercise of stock options		976,592		734,896		954,052		704,982

Weighted average shares for diluted net earnings per share		7,463,169		6,436,752		7,085,996		6,405,402

Note 7 - Stock-based compensation and equity transactions

The stock incentive plans provide for the granting of qualified and nonqualified options to the Company’s officers, directors and employees. Non-qualified stock options granted during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 vest and are exercisable immediately and expire in five years from date of grant. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company granted a total of 28,000 non-qualified stock options to its directors. Qualified incentive stock options granted during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 vest equally over a three year period commencing on the date of grant and expire in five years from date of grant. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company granted a total of 25,000 incentive stock options to a current employee of CUI. The Company satisfies the exercise of options by issuing previously unissued common shares.

The weighted average fair value of employee stock options granted by the Company in the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010 was estimated to be $1.08 and $0.82 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2011			2010
Risk-free interest rate		0.68	%		1.41	%
Dividend yield		2.7	%		0.00	%
Expected life of the option	3.5 years			2.5 years
Volatility factor		51.68	%		57.67	%

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company used the simplified method to calculate the expected life of the option grants. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity date corresponding to the options’ expected life. The dividend yield is based upon the historical dividend yield.

Issuances of common stock by the Company

During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company issued 762,738 shares of common stock valued at approximately $2,800,000 to the former owner of Cables Unlimited, Inc. as part of the purchase price of the Cables Unlimited acquisition. The Cables Unlimited. acquisition is more fully described in Note 2 of this report. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company issued 424,608 shares of common stock and received net proceeds of $814,697 in connection with the exercise of employee stock options.

Company Stock Option Plans

Descriptions of the Company’s stock option plans are included in Note 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010. A summary of the status of the options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of July 31, 2011 and the changes in options outstanding during the nine months then ended is presented in the table that follows:

				Weighted

Stock Option Expense

During the nine-months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation expense totaled $165,368 and $157,522, respectively. For the three-months ended July 31, 2011 and July 31, 2010, stock-based compensation expense totaled $23,000 and $43,605, respectively. For the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation classified in cost of sales amounted to $30,547 and $26,247 and stock-based compensation classified in selling and general expense amounted to $134,821 and $131,275, respectively. For the three months ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation classified in cost of sales amounted to $5,686 and $9,004 and stock-based compensation classified in selling and general expense amounted to $17,314 and $34,601, respectively.

Note 8 - Concentration of Credit Risk

One customer accounted for approximately 16% and 18% of the Company’s net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2011, respectively. One customer accounted for approximately 24% and 23% of the Company’s net sales for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2010, respectively. Although this customer has been an on-going major customer of the Company continuously during the past 12 years, the written agreements with this customer do not have any minimum purchase obligations and the customer could stop buying the Company’s products at any time and for any reason. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

Note 9 - Segment Information

The Company aggregates operating divisions into operating segments which have similar economic characteristics and are similar in the majority of the following areas: (1) the nature of the product and services; (2) the nature of the production process; (3) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (4) the methods used to distribute their products or services; and (5) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has four segments - RF Connector and Cable Assembly, Medical Cabling and Interconnector, RF Wireless, and Cables Unlimited based upon this evaluation.

The RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment is comprised of three divisions, the Medical Cabling and Interconnector is comprised of one division while the RF Wireless segment is comprised of two. The four divisions that meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting are Connector and Cable Assembly, Bioconnect, RF Neulink, and Cables Unlimited. Each of the other divisions aggregated into these segments have similar products that are marketed to their respective customer base; production and product development processes are similar in nature. The specific customers are different for each division; however, there is some overlapping of product sales to them. The methods used to distribute products are similar within each division aggregated.

Management identifies the Company’s segments based on strategic business units that are, in turn, based along market lines. These strategic business units offer products and services to different markets in accordance with their customer base and product usage. For segment reporting purposes, the Company aggregates the Connector and Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics, and Oddcables.com (formerly known as Worswick) divisions into the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment while RF Neulink and RadioMobile are part of the RF Wireless segment. The Bioconnect division makes up the Company’s Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment, and the Cables Unlimited subsidiary makes up the Cables Unlimited segment.

As reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on income or loss before income taxes. The Company charges depreciation and amortization directly to each division within the segment. All stock based compensation is attributed to the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment. Inventory, fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets are the only assets identified by segment. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in the United States; however, the Company derives a portion of its revenue from export sales. The Company attributes sales to geographic areas based on the location of the customers. The following table presents the sales of the Company by geographic area for the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2011 and 2010:

Note 10 - Income taxes

The income tax provision reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2011 is different than the expected tax provision computed based on the pre-tax income and the applicable statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% and the state income tax rate, net of Federal tax effects, of 5%. Interim tax provisions are determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate. As of July 31, 2011, the Company estimated that its effective annual tax rate for the year ending October 31, 2011, before non-recurring adjustments described below will be approximately 47%.

The provision for income taxes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $350,337 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 30%), compared to $523,299 in the nine months ended July 31, 2010 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40%). The significant decrease in the tax rate in the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of onetime tax benefits. The Company recognized approximately $34,000 related to a Federal research and development tax credits the Company was not able to recognize in its condensed consolidated financial statements in 2010 due to the law not being enacted by October 31, 2010. On December 16, 2010, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Relief Act, which impacted the Company’s tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Due to the enactment of the 2010 Tax Relief Act into law, the Company claimed an increased net tax credit related to the year ended October 31, 2010 for research and development related to the year ended October 31, 2010 of approximately $34,000. The credit was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company recognized approximately $137,000 of a net tax benefit for uncertain tax positions where the statute of limitations expired during the three month period ended July 31, 2011. Also included in the provision for income taxes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011, and contributing to the decrease in the tax rate is approximately $73,000 of state tax refunds received in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from amended tax returns which the Company filed to reapportion taxable income between the Company’s activities in both California and Nevada. Without these adjustments, the effective tax rate for the three and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2011 would have been higher.

Note 11 - Goodwill

On June 15, 2011 the Company completed its acquisition of Cables Unlimited. Goodwill related to this acquisition is included within the Cables Unlimited reporting unit. As of July 31, 2011, the $2,642,000 goodwill balance related solely to the Cables Unlimited division. Management believes this goodwill balance is not impaired as of July 31, 2011.

We review our goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level. We also analyze whether any indicators of impairment exist each quarter. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained, significant decline in our share price and market capitalization, a decline in our expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, the testing for recoverability of our long-lived assets, and/or slower growth rates, among others.

We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its net book value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is necessary. If the net book value of our reporting units exceeds their fair value, we perform a second test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

As of July 31, 2011, management noted no triggers that would necessitate a further review and test of impairment of goodwill.

Note 16 - Cash Dividend and declared dividends

The Company paid dividends of $.025 per share for a total of $172,287 during the three month period ended July 31, 2011. The Company paid and declared dividends of $.015, $.02, and $.025 per share for a total of $387,608 during the nine-month period ended July 31, 2011.

Note 17 - Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock

In 1987, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized, and 29,999,998 shares of common stock outstanding. On April 17, 1987, the Company filed a Certificate of Secretary with the Nevada Secretary of State's office pursuant to which the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (that reduced the number of outstanding shares to 3,000,000). The Certificate of Secretary did not, however, specifically address, or reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.

Based on its belief that the April 17, 1987 filing with the Nevada Secretary of State also reduced the number of authorized shares, the Company has since 1987 reported in its financial statements that the number of authorized shares of common stock consisted of 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock. On February 23, 2011, the Nevada Secretary of State's office notified the Company that based on the April 17, 1987 filing, the authorized number of common shares of the Company consisted of 100,000,000 shares. As a result of the two-for-one stock split that took place in the second quarter of 2011, the authorized number of common shares of the Company currently consists of 200,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.

Note 18 - Stock Split

On February 11, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a two-for-one stock split on the Company’s Common Stock. The stock split was effected on March 10, 2011. All references to common stock and per share information, except par value, in these condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split.

Note 19 - Employment agreements

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

This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the future financial performance of RF Industries, Ltd. and its subsidiary. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “except,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company, nor any other person, assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. The Company is under no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in its expectations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect the Company’s business, including without limitation the disclosures made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation,” under the caption “Risk Factors,” and the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010 and other reports and filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” refer to RF Industries, Ltd., a Nevada corporation, and, unless the context indicates otherwise, also includes Cables Unlimited, Inc. (“Cables Unlimited”) a New York corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Critical Accounting Policies

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). One of the accounting policies that involves significant judgments and estimates concerns our inventory valuation. Inventories are valued at the weighted average cost value. Certain items in the inventory may be considered obsolete or excess and, as such, we establish an allowance to reduce the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. Based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at the time, we determine the amounts of these allowances. Because inventories have, during the past few years, represented approximately one-third of our total assets, any reduction in the value of our inventories would require us to take write-offs that would affect our net worth and future earnings.

Another accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is our accounts receivable allowance valuation. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.

Another critical accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is management’s assessment of goodwill for impairments. We review our goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level. We also analyze each quarter whether any indicators of impairment exist. Consistent with this policy, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $137,328 during the third quarter of fiscal 2010 to reflect the decrease in the goodwill attributable to our Aviel cable division.

Identified intangible assets acquired in the Cables Unlimited acquisition are recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives ranging from six months to 7.6 years.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the stock option grants which involves significant judgments and estimates.

Executive Overview

The Company markets connectors and cables to numerous industries for use in thousands of products, primarily for the wireless marketplace. In addition, to a limited extent, the Company also markets wireless products that incorporate connectors and cables. Since sales of RF connectors and cable assemblies represented 66% and 75% of the Company’s net sales during the three and nine month periods ended July 31, 2011, respectively, the Company’s results of operations and liquidity are principally dependent upon the results of its RF connector and cable operations.

On June 6, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Acquisition Agreement”), which agreement contained the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company proposed to acquire Cables Unlimited. The acquisition of Cables Unlimited. was completed on June 15, 2011 through the merger of CUI Acquisitions, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and Cables Unlimited, with CUI Acquisitions as the surviving entity. The surviving company is the merger operates under the name Cables Unlimited, Inc.

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, the Company paid $5,600,000 for Cables Unlimited. The purchase price was paid one-half in cash and one-half in shares of unregistered common stock of the Company. At the closing on June 15, 2011, the Company issued to the owner of Cables Unlimited 762,738 shares of the Company’s common stock (the number of shares is equal to $2,800,000 divided by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the date on which the transaction was first publicly disclosed), and $2,800,000 in cash. Of the cash amount, $2,550,000 was paid to seller at the closing, and $250,000 was deposited into an escrow account with a New York bank, to be held in escrow for up to one year following the closing as security for the seller’s indemnification obligations under the Acquisition Agreement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that existing current assets and the amount of cash it anticipates it will generate from current operations will be sufficient to fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for at least one year. The Company does not, however, currently have any commercial banking arrangements providing for loans, credit facilities or similar matters should the Company need to obtain additional capital. Management believes that its existing assets and the cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient during the current fiscal year are based on the following:

As of July 31, 2011, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was equal to $1,169,000 in the aggregate and the Company had $6,271,000 of investments in certificates of deposit. However, on September 1, 2011 the Company paid a special one-time cash dividend of $.25 per common share, or $1,784,000 in the aggregate, which has reduced the Company’s cash and cash equivalents. In addition, on July 21, 2011, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.05 per share, or $357,000 in the aggregate payable on October 17, 2011.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company had $16,455,000 in current assets, and $4,161,000 in current liabilities. Of the $4,161,000 of current liabilities, $1,784,000 represents the special dividend that was paid on September 1, 2011, and $357,000 represents dividends that are payable on October 17, 2011.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding debt of $1,404,000 relating to mortgage payables of the VIE K&K, which Cables Unlimited guarantees. This amount represents a mortgage guaranty issued by Cables Unlimited for the benefit of the former owner of Cables Unlimited. The former owner has agreed to release Cables Unlimited from this guaranty in the near future.

The Company does not anticipate needing material additional capital equipment in the next year. In the past, the Company has financed some of its equipment and furnishings requirements through capital leases. No additional capital equipment purchases have been currently identified that would require significant additional leasing or capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Management also believes that based on the Company’s current financial condition, the absence of outstanding bank debt and recent operating results, the Company would be able to obtain bank loans to finance its expansion, if necessary, although there can be no assurance any bank loan would be obtainable or, if obtained, would be on favorable terms or conditions.

The Company recognized net income of $822,699 for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 and had negative cash flow from operations of $380,267. Cash from operations was less than net income primarily because the Company increased its collections on accounts receivables and its accrued expenses offset by increases in inventory purchases and other current assets and also decreased its outstanding accounts payables. During the nine months ended July 31, 2011, the Company used $1,241,580 for the purchase of inventory, $176,272 to pay accounts payable and accrued expenses, and $397,245 for other current assets and deposits and $156,530 for other long term liabilities. These outlays were partially offset by increased collections of accounts receivable of $505,918 and income taxes payable of $93,002, which resulted in cash used in operating activities of $380,267 during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. The Company increased its inventory purchases because of increased sales and because it received volume discounts from some of its inventory vendors. Also, the acquisition of Cables Unlimited accounted for $568,905 of the purchased inventories. The benefits of inventories purchased at a discount are expected to be realized in future quarters as the inventories are sold.

The Company received proceeds of $3,904,000 from the maturity of certain of its certificates of deposit, and re-invested $4,650,744 in new certificates of deposit during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. The Company spent $271,399 on capital expenditures during the nine months ended July 31, 2011. The Company received proceeds of $814,697 from the exercise of stock options, which receipts were partially offset by dividends paid of $387,608.

Trade accounts receivable (net of allowances for doubtful accounts) at July 31, 2011 increased by approximately 12%, or by $310,568 to $2,868,390 compared to the October 31, 2010 balance of $2,557,822 due to the 19% increase in net sales during the first nine months of fiscal 2011. The increase in accounts receivable is due to increase sales from prior period, plus the Cables Unlimited receivables acquired in the acquisition of that subsidiary on June 15, 2011.

Inventories at July 31, 2011 increased by 37%, or $1,687,285 to $6,295,128 compared to $4,607,843 at October 31, 2010. The increase in inventories is due to significantly increased purchases during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 as well as the inventories owned by Cables Unlimited of $568,905 at July 31, 2011. In order to obtain better quantity discounts from its vendors, the Company increased its purchase of certain inventories during the nine months ended July 31, 2011.

Other current assets, which includes prepaid expenses and deposits, increased $417,458 to $865,645 as of July 31, 2011, from $448,187 on October 31, 2010 mainly as a result of the renewal of certain insurance contracts as well as the addition of prepaid inventory purchases.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses at July 31, 2011 increased by $226,936 from October 31, 2010 due primarily to increases in inventory purchases as well as costs incurred related to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited.

As of July 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of $12,293,272 and a current ratio of approximately 4:1.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended July 31, 2011 vs. Three Months Ended July 31, 2010

Net sales in the current fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011, increased 17%, or $717,721 to $4,947,753 from $4,230,032 in the comparable fiscal quarter of the prior year. Net sales increased in part because of increased sales of $134,000 at the Company’s RF Wireless segment and $909,000 of net sales realized by the Company’s new Cables Unlimited subsidiary since that company was acquired on June 15, 2011. Without the sales of Cables Unlimited (a subsidiary that was not owned in 2010), net sales during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 decreased compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in net sales (other than Cables Unlimited) is primarily due to decreases in sales in both the Company’s RF Connector & Cable segment and its Medical Cabling and Interconnect segment (referred to as the Bioconnect segment). Sales increased in the RF Wireless segment due primarily to an increase in sales of wireless radio modems. Sales of the Company’s RF Connector and Cable segment decreased by $272,000 from the prior year’s comparable period ended July 31, 2010 due to general slowdown in the wireless infrastructure industry and a deferral of certain purchases by one of the Company’s customers. The uncertainty of the proposed merger of AT&T and T-Mobile USA is affecting near term sales of cable and connector products and may also affect the Company’s sales during the fourth quarter. Medical cabling sales decreased due to the inventory purchasing cycle of that division’s largest customer.

The Company has historically been dependent upon the operations of the RF Connector and Cable segment for its sales and income. However, as a result of the recent acquisition of the Cables Unlimited subsidiary, and due to a decrease in sales at the RF Connector and Cable assembly segment, the RF Connector and Cable assembly segment’s sales decreased from 84% in the comparable quarter of prior year to approximately 66% of the Company’s total sales in the current three month period ended July 31, 2011.

Domestic sales increased significantly by $940,082 to $4,594,086 from $3,654,004 in the prior comparable period. The increase in domestic sales was partially offset by decreased foreign sales. Foreign sales during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 decreased by $222,361 to $353,667 compared to foreign sales of $576,028 during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in cable assembly sales to two major international customers in Israel. Foreign sales represented approximately 7% and 14% of the Company’s net sales during the fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company’s overall gross profit as a percentage of sales increased slightly to 48.8% during the current fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 compared to 47.7% in the comparable fiscal quarter of prior year. The change in the Company’s gross profit percentage reflects fluctuation in the product mix sold by the Company’s four segments, and due to the sales contribution by the new Cables Unlimited subsidiary. The gross profit margins of the RF Connector and Cable assembly segment decreased by 2% and the Bioconnect segment gross margin decreased 1%, while the gross margin of the RF Wireless segment increased to 39% as a result of increased sales (the RF Wireless segment had a negative gross margin in the prior comparable quarter). Cables Unlimited’s gross margin was approximately 37%. Accordingly, the sales of Cables Unlimited are expected to reduce the Company’s overall gross margins in the future.

Engineering expenses increased in the 2011 fiscal quarter by 25%, or $55,181, to $274,156 from $218,975 in the comparable quarter of 2010 due to ongoing product development at the RF Wireless segment. The RF Wireless segment has been developing a wireless transceiver, which transceiver recently completed FCC testing and is now available for commercial sale. As a result, the Company has commenced initial production of these products, and has commenced filling backorders previously received from wireless distributors and system integrators during the current third fiscal quarter.

Selling and general expenses increased $786,873 or 58%, in the current fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 to $2,141,268 from $1,354,395 in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase in selling and general expenses is primarily the result of certain one-time expenses. In particular, the Company incurred approximately $503,000 of additional expenses related to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited in June 2011. These additional expenses included fees payable to the Company’s investment banker, additional legal fees, additional accounting and audit fees, appraiser fees, and other related acquisition expenses (such as travel costs). In addition, during the 2011 fiscal quarter, the Company also incurred additional professional fees in evaluating and responding to requests made by one of the Company’s larger shareholders. Although some of the legal and accounting expenses are expected to continue during the fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal 2011, selling and general expenses are expected to be significantly lower in future quarters. Selling and general expenses in the current fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 also increased because of the additional selling and general expenses of Cables Unlimited, which expenses were not incurred last year. Because of the acquisition of Cables Unlimited and the operation of an East Coast office, the Company’s selling and general expenses will be larger in the future compared to periods prior to the acquisition of that New York subsidiary.

As a result of the decrease in revenues (excluding the new net sales generated by Cables Unlimited), the increase in engineering expense and, in particular, the approximately $503,000 of one-time expenses incurred during the third quarter of 2011 related to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited, operating income for the three month period ended July 31, 2011 was only $125, compared to $443,534 during the same fiscal quarter last year.

Other income for the third quarter of 2011 decreased by $26,565 compared to the same period in the prior year due to lower investment interest income reflecting a decrease in interest rates on the Company’s investments in certificates of deposit as well as interest expense of $8,840 related to mortgage debt on the Cables Unlimited facility.

The benefit for income taxes during the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $(63,072), compared to a provision of $159,326 in the comparable quarter of fiscal 2010. The significant decrease in the tax rate in the three month period ended July 31, 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of onetime tax benefits. The Company recognized approximately $137,000 of a net tax benefit for uncertain tax positions where the statute of limitations expired during the three month period ended July 31, 2011. The Company received state tax refunds totaling $73,246 during the three month period ended July 31, 2011. Without these adjustments, the effective tax rate for the three-month period ended July 31, 2011 would have been higher.

Despite the significant additional revenues and gross profits generated by Cables Unlimited since its acquisition on June 15, 2011, the one-time costs of that acquisition offset all of the increase in gross profits. As a result, the Company had only $1,622 of income before taxes in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $471,596 in the third quarter of 2010. After the $63,000 tax benefit realized by the Company in the third quarter of 2011 and the $159,000 tax expense in the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s net income for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2011 was $65,000, compared to $312,000 in the prior comparable period.

Nine Months Ended July 31, 2011 vs. Nine Months Ended July 31, 2010

Net sales in the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 increased significantly (by $2,158,548) to $13,479,610 from $11,321,062 in the comparable fiscal period of prior year due to both (i) increased sales in all of the Company’s segments and (ii) the additional $909,000 of net sales realized by the Company’s new Cables Unlimited subsidiary since that company was acquired on June 15, 2011. Sales of our RF Connector and Cable segment increased by $424,892 from the prior year comparable period ended July 31, 2010. Sales of our Bioconnect segment also increased significantly during the 2011 nine-month period by $462,646 from the prior year’s period, while sales of our RF Wireless segment increased by $631,734 from the prior comparable period ended July 31, 2010. Also, the acquisition of Cables Unlimited on June 15, 2011 added an additional $907,277 in sales associated with the Cables Unlimited segment.

Sales at the RF Wireless segment increased from the prior year’s period due to an increase in the sale of RF Neulink’s radio modems. One of the RF Wireless’ products in development recently obtained FCC approval and is now being manufactured for commercial sale. As a result, the Company anticipates that sales in this segment will increase in future quarters.

Domestic sales increased significantly by $2,533,505 to $12,300,852 from $9,767,347 in the prior comparable period, but were partially offset by decreased foreign sales. Foreign sales during the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 decreased by $374,957 to $1,178,758 compared to foreign sales of $1,553,715 during the nine month period ended July 31, 2010 primarily due to a decrease in cable assembly sales to several major international customers in Canada and Israel. Foreign sales represented approximately 9% and 14% of the Company’s net sales during the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 2% to 51% during the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to 49% in the comparable nine month period of prior year. The change in the gross margins is a result of changes in the mix of products sold by the Company’s four segments. The gross profit margins of the RF Connector and Cable Assembly and the Bioconnect segments remained relatively unchanged, while the gross margin of the RF Wireless segment increased to 42% up from a negative gross margin in the prior nine month period ended July 31, 2010. The increase in gross margins in the RF Wireless segment was due primarily to an increase in sales of wireless radio modems, which caused net sales to increase by $361,734 to $617,409 from $255,675 in the prior comparable nine month period ended. Because of the $909,000 of additional net sales contributed by the new Cables Unlimited subsidiary, net sales of the RF Connector and Cable assembly segment dropped to approximately 75% of the Company’s total sales and 69% of the total cost of goods sold in the current nine month period, compared to 86% of the Company’s total sales and 77% of the total cost of goods sold in the comparable nine month period of prior year.

Engineering expenses increased 45% or $279,026 to $903,612 from $624,586 in the comparable nine month period of the prior year due to ongoing projects nearing completion at the RF Wireless division and related increases in contract labor expense.

Selling and general expenses increased 28% or $1,030,283 to $4,768,368 from $3,738,085 in the comparable nine month period of the prior year as a result of (i) increased sales and the expenses related to the Company’s growth, and (ii) due to significant one-time expenses incurred by the Company’s in connection with the acquisition of Cables Unlimited.

Other income for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 decreased $45,113 compared with the same nine month period of the prior year due to lower investment interest income reflecting a decrease in interest rates on the Company’s investments in certificates of deposit.

Despite the increase in revenues and the increase in gross profit, the increase in engineering expenses and, more significantly, the $1,030,000 increase in selling and general expenses (much of which represents one-time expenses), income before provision for income taxes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 decreased by 10% or $135,600 to $1,173,036 from $1,308,636 in the comparable nine month period of the prior year.

The provision for income taxes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011 was $350,337 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 30%), compared to $523,299 in the nine months ended July 31, 2010 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 40%). The significant decrease in the tax rate in the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of onetime net tax benefits. The Company recognized approximately $34,000 related to a Federal research and development tax credits the Company was not able to recognize in its financial statements in 2010 due to the law not being enacted by October 31, 2010. On December 16, 2010, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Relief Act, which impacted the Company’s tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Due to the enactment of the 2010 Tax Relief Act into law, the Company claimed an increased net tax credit related to the year ended October 31, 2010 for research and development related to the year ended October 31, 2010 of approximately $34,000. The credit was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company recognized approximately $137,000 of a net tax benefit for uncertain tax positions where the statute of limitations expired during the three month period ended July 31, 2011. Also included in the provision for income taxes during the nine months ended July 31, 2011, and contributing to the decrease in the tax rate is approximately $73,000 of state tax refunds received in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from amended tax returns which the Company filed to reapportion taxable income between the Company’s activities in both California and Nevada. Without these adjustments, the effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended July 31, 2011 would have been higher.

The significant increase in sales in the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 compared to prior year’s nine month period was helped by a slight increase in gross margins, which resulted in a $1,218,822 increase in gross profit. The increase in gross profit was offset by increases in selling and general expenses and engineering expenses. As a result, the Company’s operating income for the nine months ended July 31, 2011 decreased by $90,487 to $1,150,293 from $1,240,780 in the prior comparable nine month period. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by lower income taxes. Net income for the nine month period ended July 31, 2011 was $822,699 compared to $785,337 for the same period of the prior year.
