Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to three months ended March 31, 2012

Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin

As of March 31, 2013, MtronPTI's order backlog was $8,357,000, which was a decrease of 4.0% compared to a backlog of $8,703,000 at December 31, 2012. The decline in the order backlog was due primarily to macroeconomic factors described above.

The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as other agreements we have determined are legally binding and likely to proceed.  Although backlog represents only firm orders that are considered likely to be fulfilled within the 12 months following receipt of the order, cancellations or scope adjustments may and do occur. The order backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any.  The Company expects to fill substantially its entire current order backlog within the next twelve months, but cannot provide assurance as to the portion of the order backlog to be fulfilled in a given period.

Consolidated gross margin, which is consolidated revenues less manufacturing cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues increased to 32.5% from 22.3% for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.  The increase in gross margin is due to a more favorable product mix, margin improvement initiatives and a 3.1% increase in revenues from the comparable period in 2012. The Company is focusing research and development efforts on the development of products that will serve additional segments of the timing and frequency control markets, as well as added sales efforts to gain market share in wireless infrastructure, aerospace, energy exploration, homeland security, military communications and personnel protection.

Stock-Based Compensation

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net, was $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, which was a decrease of $8,000 from $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was due to a reduction in the average outstanding balance on MtronPTI's credit facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with the same prior year period.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2013 was a benefit of 72.0% compared to a benefit of 31.0% for the first quarter of 2012.  The change in rate for the first quarter of 2013 from the comparable period in the prior year was primarily due to a $94,000 benefit resulting from the reinstatement of the U.S. federal research and development ("R&D") tax credit for 2012 as well as the inclusion of a benefit from R&D tax credits for research activities to be conducted during 2013.  The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted into law on January 2, 2013, retroactively reinstating the R&D tax credit for two years, including 2012 and 2013.  The effective tax rate for 2013, exclusive of discrete adjustments, is estimated to be 40.1%, including the effect of R&D tax credits related to current-year operations. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, did not include any expected benefit for R&D tax credits due to the expiration of the tax law providing for such credits at the end of 2011.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was ($83,000) compared to a net loss of ($593,000) for the comparable period in 2012. This improvement can be attributed to the following: (i) a 10.2 percentage point increase in gross margin; and (ii) a 3.1% increase in revenues for the first three months of 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.  Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, was ($0.03) compared to a net loss per share of ($0.23) for the first three months of 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash and cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities at March 31, 2013, totaled $7,873,000, a decrease of $796,000 compared to $8,669,000 at December 31, 2012.  Specifically, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $801,000, from $8,625,000 at December 31, 2012 to $7,824,000 at March 31. 2013. At March 31, 2013, MtronPTI had approximately $1,382,000 outstanding and available borrowing capacity of approximately $118,000 under its revolving line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), compared with $1,249,000 outstanding and available borrowing capacity of $251,000 at December 31, 2012.

Cash used in operating activities was ($736,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase in cash used in operations was due to a decrease in trade accounts payable, accrued compensation and commissions expense, and other accrued liabilities of ($765,000) and an increase in accounts receivable of ($129,000), offset by a net loss of ($83,000), a decrease in other assets of $210,000, an increase in inventories of ($111,000), depreciation and amortization of $240,000 and a deferred tax benefit of ($213,000), for the first three months of 2013, compared to an increase in trade accounts payable, accrued compensation and commissions expense, and other accrued liabilities of $382,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $502,000, a net loss of ($593,000), an increase in inventories of ($164,000), depreciation and amortization of $181,000 and a deferred tax benefit of ($266,000), for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

---

Cash used in investing activities was ($140,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to ($294,000) for the same period in 2012. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in spending on software to replace the Company's enterprise resource planning systems, which project was substantially completed in 2012.

Cash provided by financing activities was $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared with cash used in financing activities of ($154,000) for the same period in 2012. The change was due primarily to net borrowings on note payable to bank of $133,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net repayments of ($70,000) for the same period in 2012, and a decrease in principal payments of long-term debt to ($58,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to ($84,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2013, total liabilities of $4,289,000 were $690,000 less than the total liabilities at December 31, 2012, of $4,979,000.  The decrease was due primarily to a decrease in accounts payable of ($715,000), a decrease in accrued compensation and commissions expense of ($67,000) and the payoff of the Chase Term Loan (as defined below) balance of ($58,000), offset by an increase in borrowings under the Chase Revolving Loan (as defined below) of $133,000.

As of March 31, 2013, MtronPTI was in compliance with all covenants under the Chase Loan Agreement.

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available borrowings on its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.  However, the Company may need to seek additional capital to fund future growth in its business, to provide flexibility to respond to dynamic market conditions, or to fund its strategic growth objectives.  

The Board has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends.  This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential technology acquisitions or other strategic ventures, and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings.  In addition, the tangible net worth financial covenant under the Chase Loan Agreement effectively places certain limitations on MtronPTI's ability to make certain payments to its parent, including but not limited to payments of dividends and other distributions, which effectively could limit the Company's ability to pay cash dividends to stockholders. No cash dividends have been paid to the Company's stockholders since January 30, 1989, and none are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be reasonable given the circumstances. Actual results may vary from our estimates.

The Company's most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowance, valuation of inventories, accounting for warranty obligations, accounting for income taxes, and accounting for stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product in accordance with the criteria in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which are:

---

‒	Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

‒	Delivery has occurred;

‒	The seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and

‒	Collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company meets these conditions upon shipment because title and risk of loss passes to the customer at that time.  However, the Company offers a limited right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions in its agreements with certain electronic component distributors who resell the Company's products to original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing services companies.  As a result, the Company estimates and records a reserve for future returns and other charges against revenue at the time of shipment consistent with the terms of sale. The reserve is estimated based on historical experience with each respective distributor.  The amount of these reserves at March 31, 2013, is not material to the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue related to transactions with a right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions when the following conditions are met:

‒	Seller's price to the buyer is  fixed or determinable at the date of sale;

‒	Buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product;

‒	Buyer's obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product;

‒	Buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller;

‒	Seller does not have obligations for future performance; and

‒	The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.

Accounts Receivable Allowance

Accounts receivable on a consolidated basis consists principally of amounts due from both domestic and foreign customers.  Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and collateral is not generally required.  In relation to export sales, the Company generally requires letters of credit supporting a significant portion of the sales price prior to production to limit exposure to credit risk.  Certain credit sales are made to industries that are subject to cyclical economic changes.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.  Estimates are based on historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and relationship between accounts receivable and revenues.  In determining these estimates, the Company examines historical write-offs of its receivables and reviews each client's account to identify any specific customer collection issues.  If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payment, additional allowances might be required.  The Company's failure to estimate the losses for doubtful accounts accurately and ensure that payments are received on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.

The Company maintains a reserve for inventory based on estimated losses that result from inventory that becomes obsolete as of period end. In determining these estimates, the Company performs an analysis on demand and usage for each inventory item over historical time periods.  Based on that analysis, the Company reserves a percentage of the inventory amount within each time period based on historical demand and usage patterns of specific items in inventory.

---

Warranties

The Company offers a standard one-year warranty. The Company tests its products prior to shipment in order to ensure that they meet each customer's requirements based upon specifications received from each customer at the time its order is received and accepted. The Company's customers may request to return products for various reasons, including but not limited to the customers' belief that the products are not performing to specification. The Company's return policy states that it will accept product returns only with prior authorization and if the product does not meet customer specifications, in which case the product would be replaced or repaired. To accommodate the Company's customers, each request for return is reviewed, and if and when it is approved, a return materials authorization ("RMA") is issued to the customer. Each month the Company records a specific warranty reserve for approved RMAs covering products that have not yet been returned. The Company does not maintain a general warranty reserve because, historically, valid warranty returns resulting from a product not meeting specifications or being non-functional have been immaterial.

Income Taxes

The Company's deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities that will result in deductible amounts in future years, including net operating loss carryforwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. If, in the future, the Company experiences losses for a sustained period of time, the Company may not be able to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets. If this occurs, the Company may be required to increase the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on past history of actual performance, a zero forfeiture rate has been assumed. Typically, the Company sets the exercise price for stock options at a premium above the closing market price on the date of grant, which combined with the vesting period, reflect the objective to align management incentives with long-term value creation.

Restricted stock awards are granted at a value equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

    The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
