Overview

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.

The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the assembly of individual components to the assembly and testing of box-build electronic products. The Company has the ability to produce assemblies requiring mechanical as well as electronic capabilities. The products assembled by the Company are then incorporated into finished products sold in various industries, particularly appliance, consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and automotive.

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Hayward, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; and Suzhou-Wujiang, China. The Company maintains materials sourcing offices

in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Hayward, California; and Taipei, Taiwan. The Company also has a warehouse in Del Rio, Texas.

The Company is a Delaware corporation, which was organized on November 16, 1993, and commenced operations when it became the successor to all of the assets and liabilities of SigmaTron L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, through a reorganization on February 8, 1994.

Products and Services

The Company provides a broad range of manufacturing related outsourcing solutions for its customers on both a turnkey basis (material purchased by the Company) and consignment basis (material provided by the customer). These solutions incorporate the Company’s knowledge and expertise in the EMS industry to provide its customers with advanced manufacturing technologies and high quality, responsive and flexible manufacturing services. The Company’s EMS solutions provide services from product inception through the ultimate delivery of a finished good. Such technologies and services include the following:

Supply Chain Management. The Company is primarily a turnkey manufacturer and directly sources all, or a substantial portion, of the components necessary for its product assemblies, rather than receiving the raw materials from its customers on consignment. Turnkey services involve a greater investment in resources and an increased inventory risk compared to consignment services. Supply chain management includes the purchasing, management, storage and delivery of raw components required for the manufacture or assembly of a customer’s product based upon the customer’s orders. The Company procures components from a select group of vendors which meet its standards for timely delivery, high quality and cost effectiveness, or as directed by its customers. Raw materials used in the assembly and manufacture of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies are generally available from several suppliers, unless restricted by the customer. The Company does not enter into purchase agreements with the majority of its major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes ad-hoc negotiations with its suppliers provides the flexibility needed to source inventory based on the needs of its customers.

The Company believes that its ability to source and procure competitively priced, quality components is critical to its ability to effectively compete. In addition to obtaining materials in North America, the Company uses its Taiwanese procurement office and agents to source materials from the Far East. The Company believes this office allows it to more effectively manage its relationships with key suppliers in the Far East by permitting it to respond more quickly to changes in market dynamics, including fluctuations in price, availability and quality.

Assembly and Manufacturing. The Company’s core business is the assembly of printed circuit board assemblies through the automated and manual insertion of components onto raw printed circuit boards. The Company offers its assembly services using both pin-through-hole (“PTH”) and surface mount (“SMT”) interconnect technologies at all of its manufacturing locations. SMT is an assembly process which allows the placement of a higher density of components directly on both sides of a printed circuit board. The SMT process is an advancement over the mature PTH technology, which normally permits electronic components to be attached to only one side of a printed circuit board by inserting the component into holes drilled through the board. The SMT process allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) advanced circuitry, while at the same time permitting the placement of a greater number of components on a printed circuit board without having to increase the size of the board. By allowing increasingly complex circuits to be packaged with the components in closer proximity to each other, SMT greatly enhances circuit processing speed, and, thus, board and system performance.

The Company performs PTH assembly both manually and with automated component insertion and soldering equipment. Although SMT is a more sophisticated interconnect technology, the Company intends to continue providing PTH assembly services for its customers as the Company’s customers continue to require both PTH and SMT capabilities. The Company is also capable of assembling fine pitch and ball grid array (“BGA”) components. BGA is used for more complex circuit boards required to perform at higher speeds.

Manufacturing and Related Services. The Company offers restriction of hazardous substances (“RoHS”) assembly services in compliance with the European Union environmental mandate at each of its

manufacturing locations. The Company also provides quick turnaround, turnkey prototype services at all of its locations. In Elk Grove Village, the Company offers touch screen / LCD assembly services in a clean room environment. In Acuna, Mexico, the Company offers parylene coating services. In Tijuana, Mexico, the Company offers diagnostic, repair and rework services for power supplies. In all locations, the Company offers box-build services, which integrate its printed circuit board and other manufacturing and assembly technologies into higher level sub-assemblies and end products.

Product Testing. The Company has the ability to perform both in-circuit and functional testing of its assemblies and finished products. In-circuit testing verifies that the correct components have been properly inserted and that the electrical circuits are complete. Functional testing determines if a board or system assembly is performing to customer specifications. The Company seeks to provide customers with highly sophisticated testing services that are at the forefront of current test technology.

Warehousing and Distribution. In response to the needs of select customers, the Company has the ability to provide in-house warehousing, shipping and receiving and customer brokerage services in Del Rio, Texas for goods manufactured or assembled in Acuna, Mexico. The Company also has the ability to provide custom-tailored delivery schedules and services to fulfill the just-in-time inventory needs of its customers.

Markets and Customers

The Company’s customers are in the appliance, gaming, industrial electronics, fitness, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications, consumer electronics and automotive industries. As of April 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 105 active customers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small, privately held enterprises.

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales to the principal end-user markets it serves.


		Percent of Net Sales
	Typical	Fiscal			Fiscal
Markets	OEM Application	2008			2009
Appliances	Household appliance controls		35.8	%		40.9	%
Industrial Electronics	Motor controls, power supplies		27.3			27.0
Fitness	Treadmills, exercise bikes, cross trainers		20.6			18.2
Telecommunications	Routers		6.1			6.5
Gaming	Slot machines, lighting displays		2.9			2.4
Life Sciences	Clinical diagnostic systems and instruments		3.7			1.7
Semiconductor Equipment	Process control and yield management equipment for semiconductor productions		2.6			2.2
Consumer Electronics	Battery backup sump pumps, electric bikes		0.7			1.0
Automotive	Automobile lighting		0.3			0.1

Total			100	%		100	%

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness accounted for 27.5% and 18.2%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness accounted for 23.0% and 20.6%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales.

Although the Company does not have long term contracts with these two customers, the Company expects that these customers will continue to account for a significant percentage of the Company’s net sales, although the individual percentages may vary from period to period.

Sales and Marketing

The Company markets its services through 13 independent manufacturers’ representative organizations that together currently employ approximately 36 sales personnel in the United States and Canada. Independent manufacturers’ representative organizations receive variable commissions based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories. The members of the Company’s senior management are actively involved in sales and marketing efforts, and the Company has 5 direct sales employees.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment and turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company’s gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008.

In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenue and earnings; such fluctuations may continue.

Mexico and China Operations

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A, a Mexican corporation, is located in Acuna, Coahuila Mexico, a border town across the Rio Grande River from Del Rio, Texas, and is 155 miles west of San Antonio. Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. was incorporated and commenced operation in 1968. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation, is located in Tijuana, Baja California Mexico, a border town south of San Diego, California. AbleMex S.A. de C.V. was incorporated and commenced operations in 2000. The Company believes that one of the key benefits to having operations in Mexico is its access to cost-effective labor resources while having geographic proximity to the United States.

The Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprise, Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd., is located in Wujiang, China. Wujiang is located approximately 15 miles south of Suzhou, China and 60 miles west of Shanghai, China. The Company has entered into an agreement with governmental authorities in the economic development zone of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China, pursuant to which the Company became the lessee of a parcel of land of approximately 100 Chinese acres. The term of the land lease is 50 years. The Company built a manufacturing plant, office space and dormitories on this site during 2004. The manufacturing plant and office space is approximately 80,000 square feet, which can be expanded if conditions require. The Company decided to postpone the planned expansion of the China facility announced in July 2008 in response to the current economic conditions. SigmaTron China operates at this site as the Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprise. At April 30, 2009, this operation had 207 employees.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan procurement branch. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for

the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 resulted in approximately $135,000 in income. In fiscal year 2009, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $15,100,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided.

Competition

The EMS industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Furthermore, both large and small companies compete in the industry, and many have significantly greater financial resources, more extensive business experience and greater marketing and production capabilities than the Company. The significant competitive factors in this industry include price, quality, service, timeliness, reliability, the ability to source raw components, and manufacturing and technological capabilities. The Company believes it can competitively address all of these factors.

In addition, the Company may be operating at a cost disadvantage compared to manufacturers who have greater direct buying power with component suppliers or who have lower cost structures. Current and prospective customers continually evaluate the merits of manufacturing products internally and will from time to time offer manufacturing services to third parties in order to utilize excess capacity. During downturns in the electronics industry, OEMs may become more price sensitive.

There can be no assurance that competition from existing or potential competitors will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The introduction of lower priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Company’s competitors or significant pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations, as would the introduction of new technologies which render the Company’s manufacturing process technology less competitive or obsolete.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. and AbleMex S.A. de C.V., SigmaTron International Trading Co., its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and its procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the Mexican subsidiaries, Chinese foreign enterprise and Taiwanese procurement branch is the U.S. dollar.

As a result of consolidation and other transactions involving competitors and other companies in the Company’s markets, the Company occasionally reviews potential transactions relating to its business, products and technologies. Such transactions could include mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, licensing agreements, co-promotion agreements, financing arrangements or other types of transactions. In the future, the Company may choose to enter into other transactions at any time depending on available sources of financing, and such transactions could have a material impact on the Company, its business or operations.

Governmental Regulations

The Company’s operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety matters. Management believes that the Company’s business is operated in material compliance with all such regulations. To date, the cost to the Company of such compliance has not had a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that violations will not occur in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes. Further, the Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of environmental legislation or regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures by the Company and could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, effective mid-2006, the Company’s customers were required to be in compliance with the European Standard of RoHS directive for all of their products that ship to the European marketplace. The Company has RoHS-dedicated manufacturing capabilities at all of its manufacturing operations.

Backlog

The Company’s backlog as of April 30, 2009, was approximately $36,200,000. The Company currently expects to ship substantially all of the April 30, 2009 backlog by the end of the 2010 fiscal year. Backlog as of April 30, 2008, totaled approximately $49,100,000. Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts, forecasts and purchase orders received by the Company and delivery requirements generally may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. Because customers may cancel or reschedule deliveries, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue.

Employees

The Company employed approximately 1,700 people as of April 30, 2009, including 129 engaged in engineering or engineering related services, 1,316 in manufacturing and 255 in administrative and marketing functions.

The Company has a labor contract with Production Workers Union Local No. 10, AFL-CIO, covering the Company’s workers in Elk Grove Village, Illinois which expires on November 30, 2009. The Company’s Mexican subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico S.A., has a labor contract with Sindicato De Trabajadores de la Industra Electronica, Similares y Conexos del Estado de Coahuila, C.T.M. covering the Company’s workers in Acuna, Mexico which expires on February 1, 2010. The Company’s subsidiary located in Tijuana Mexico, has a labor contract with Sindicato Mexico Moderno De Trabajadores De La, Baja California, C.R.O.C. The contract does not have an expiration date.

Since the time the Company commenced operations, it has not experienced any union-related work stoppages. The Company believes its relations with both unions and its other employees are good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, operations, industry or financial position or our future financial performance. While the Company believes it has identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting its business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect its business, operations, industry, financial position and financial performance in the future.

The Company’s ability to secure and maintain sufficient credit arrangements is key to its continued operations.

The Company has a revolving credit facility under which the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $32 million or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivable borrowing base and the lesser of $16 million or a percentage of the inventory borrowing base. As of April 30, 2009, $18,746,696 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility. There was approximately $7.8 million of unused availability under the revolving credit facility as of April 30, 2009. In June 2008, the Company amended the revolving credit facility to extend the term of the agreement until September 30, 2010 from September 30, 2009 and amended certain financial covenants.

The Company was in compliance with the required financial covenants as of April 30, 2009. Historically, the Company has renegotiated its financial covenants for the current fiscal year during the first quarter of that fiscal year in connection with the Company’s annual budgeting process. As of July 10, 2009, the Company is in the preliminary stages of negotiating revised financial covenants for fiscal 2010. The existing financial covenants remain in place until a new agreement has been reached. The Company is currently working with its lender to amend the financial covenants for its revolving credit facility, based upon the Company’s most recent projections for the 2010 fiscal year. At this time, it is possible that the Company would not be in compliance with an existing financial covenant for the quarter ended July 31, 2009. Therefore, if the Company is not successful in amending its financial covenants, the Company could be in violation of its revolving credit facility agreement at that time. In the event the Company was unable to amend the required financial covenants or obtain alternative financing, the Company may be unable to access lines of credit and its debt obligations could be accelerated. These events would likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future results of operations, financial position and liquidity.

The Company also has a term loan with an outstanding balance of $2 million and $3 million as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively with quarterly principal payments of $250,000 due each quarter through the quarter ending June 30, 2011. Borrowings under the term loan bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%, which ranged from 2.41% to 6.47% during fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2008, borrowings under the term loan were at an interest rate of 6.47%.

The financial crisis affecting the banking system and capital markets have resulted in a tightening in the credit markets, a low level of liquidity in many financial markets and extreme volatility in credit. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulations, reduced alternatives, or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect the Company’s ability to secure, maintain or renew sufficient credit arrangements to support its working capital requirements to continue operations.

The financial crisis and global economic slowdown could negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s sales and gross margins depend significantly on market demand for its customers’ products. A continued slow down in the global economy and the related decline in demand for our customers’ products in any industry has resulted in decreasing sales levels and gross margins which have negatively impacted the Company’s business, results of operations and financial conditions and this trend may continue.

The Company experiences variable operating results.

The Company’s results of operations have varied and may continue to fluctuate significantly from period to period, including on a quarterly basis. Consequently, results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results for any future period, and fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s quarterly and annual results may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. These factors include:

	•		Changes in sales mix to customers

	•		Changes in availability and cost of components

	•		Volume of customer orders relative to capacity

	•		Market demand and acceptance of our customers’ products

	•		Price erosion within the EMS marketplace

	•		Capital equipment requirements needed to remain technologically competitive

	•		Volatility of the global economy and financials markets

The Company’s customer base is concentrated.

Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 63% of net sales for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2009 and 2008. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 27.5% and 18.2% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 compared to 23.0% and 20.6% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. Significant reduction in sales to any of the Company’s major customers or the loss of a major customer could have a material impact on the Company’s operations. If the Company cannot replace canceled or reduced orders, sales will decline, which could have a material impact on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will retain any or all of its large customers. This risk may be further complicated by pricing pressures and intense competition prevalent in our industry.

There is variability in the requirements of the Company’s customers.

The Company does not generally obtain long-term purchase contracts. The timing of purchase orders placed by the Company’s customers is affected by a number of factors, including variation in demand for the customers’ products, regulatory changes affecting customer industries, customer attempts to manage inventory, changes in the customers’ manufacturing strategies and customers’ technical problems or issues. Many of these factors are outside the control of the Company. If the Company cannot replace canceled or reduced orders, sales will decline, which could have a material impact on the results of operations.

The Company and its customers may be unable to keep current with the industry’s technological changes.

The market for the Company’s manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and continuing product development. The future success of the Company’s business will depend in large part upon its customers’ ability to maintain and enhance their technological capabilities, develop and market manufacturing services which meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.

Effective mid-2006, the Company’s customers were required to be in compliance with the European Standard of RoHS for all products shipped to the European marketplace. The purpose of the directive is to restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and to contribute to the environmentally sound recovery and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment waste. In addition, electronic component manufacturers must produce electronic components which are lead-free. The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Customers’ specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The inability to utilize any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The Company faces intense industry competition and downward pricing pressures.

The EMS industry is highly fragmented and characterized by intense competition. Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater experience, as well as greater manufacturing, purchasing, marketing and financial resources than the Company.

The Company has foreign operations that may pose additional risks.

A substantial part of the Company’s manufacturing operations is based in Mexico. Therefore, the Company’s business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Mexican economy, the political climate in Mexico and Mexico’s relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in Mexico, and the ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in Mexico.

The Company has an operation in China. Therefore, the Company’s business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the China economy, the political climate in China and China’s relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in China, and the ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in China.

The Company obtains many of its materials and components through its office in Taipei, Taiwan and, therefore, the Company’s access to these materials and components is dependent on the continued viability of its Asian suppliers.

The Company may be unable to manage its growth.

The Company may not effectively manage its growth and successfully integrate the management and operations of its acquisitions. Acquisitions involve significant financial and operating risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Disclosure and internal controls may not detect all errors or fraud.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Controls can provide only reasonable assurance that the procedures will meet the control objectives. Controls are limited in their effectiveness by human error, including faulty judgments in decision-making. Further, controls can be circumvented by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls. Because of the limitations of a cost effective control system, error and fraud may occur and not be detected.

There is a risk of fluctuation of various currencies integral to the Company’s operations.

The Company purchases some of its material components and funds some of its operations in foreign currencies. From time to time the currencies fluctuate against the U.S. dollar. Such fluctuations could have a measurable impact on the Company’s results of operations and performance. The impact of currency fluctuation for the year ended April 30, 2009 resulted in approximately $135,000 in income. These fluctuations are expected to continue. The Company did not utilize derivatives or hedge foreign currencies to reduce the risk of such fluctuations.

The availability of raw components may affect the Company’s operations.

The Company is dependent on key personnel.

The Company depends significantly on its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary R. Fairhead, and on other executive officers. The loss of the services of any of these key employees could have a material impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. In addition, despite significant competition, continued growth and expansion of the Company’s EMS business will require that it attract, motivate and retain additional skilled and experienced personnel. The inability to satisfy such requirements could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to remain competitive in the future.

Favorable labor relations are important to the Company.

The Company currently has labor union contracts with its employees constituting approximately 45% of its workforce. Although the Company believes its labor relations are good, any labor disruptions, whether union-related or otherwise, could significantly impair the Company’s business, substantially increase the Company’s costs or otherwise have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Failure to comply with environmental regulations could subject the Company to liability.

The Company is subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. Any failure by the Company to comply with present or future regulations could subject it to future liabilities or the suspension of production which could have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The price of the Company’s stock is volatile.

The price of the Company’s common stock historically has experienced significant volatility due to fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and earnings, other factors relating to the Company’s operations, the market’s changing expectations for the Company’s growth, overall equity market conditions and other factors unrelated to the Company’s operations. In addition, the limited float of the Company’s common stock and the limited number of market makers also affect the volatility of the Company’s common stock. Such fluctuations are expected to continue in the future.

Being a public company increases the Company’s administrative costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”), as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and listing requirements subsequently adopted by Nasdaq in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee. In addition, if the Company receives a qualified opinion on the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, shareholders and the Company’s lenders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial statements. This could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company’s stock and the Company’s liquidity.

ITEM 7.		MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of EMS, which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design,

manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, and the Company may be required to operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that ad-hoc negotiations with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the needs of its customers, which constantly change.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and listing requirements subsequently adopted by Nasdaq in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee. In addition, if the Company receives a qualified opinion on the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, shareholders and the Company’s lenders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial statements. This could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company’s stock and the Company’s liquidity.

In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings, and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general and the United States economy specifically make forecasting difficult. All of the Company’s customer’s markets remain volatile. The Company believes it will continue to see lower revenues and more volatility until at least the fall of 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Management Estimates and Uncertainties — The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition — Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. In general, it is the Company’s policy to

recognize revenue and related costs when the order has been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order except for consignment inventory. Consignment inventory is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored offsite or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption, or use, by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances. The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties. Any returns for workmanship issues received after each period end are accrued in the respective financial statements.

Inventories — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles — In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (805-10-10-1) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The FASB has since codified FASB 141(R) as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-10-1. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly referred to as purchase method) is to be used for all business combinations and that an acquirer is identified for each business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as of the date that the acquirer achieves control. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. This Statement requires the acquirer to recognize acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs separately from the business combination as period expense. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement SFAS No. 141(R) for any business combinations occurring subsequent to April 30, 2009.

In January 2008, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill impairment test from the last day of the fiscal year to the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. The impairment test procedures were carried out during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 and up to the time of the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2008, which allowed the Company additional time to complete the required analysis. The Company believes that the resulting change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. The Company determined that the change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date was preferable under the circumstances and did not result in adjustments to the Company’s financial statements when applied retrospectively. During the fiscal year 2008, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing and the carrying value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the fair value indicating a goodwill impairment. The Company completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test used to measure the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. As a result of this

impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the full amount of goodwill ($9.3 million) during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. The impairment was due to continuing customer pricing pressures and uncertain economic conditions as well as the Company’s declining stock price during fiscal 2008.

New Accounting Standards:

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), (ASC 820-10-05-1), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company beginning on May 1, 2008. In November 2007, the FASB agreed to a one-year deferral of the effective date of SFAS 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. There was no significant impact from adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s financial statements and none are expected when SFAS 157 is adopted for non-financial assets and liabilities.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Options for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”), (ASC 820-10-10-1). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option pursuant to SFAS 159.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (805-10-10-1) “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”) which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The FASB has since codified FASB 141(R) as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805-10-10-1. This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS No. 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (formerly referred to as purchase method) is to be used for all business combinations and that an acquirer is identified for each business combination. This Statement defines the acquirer as the entity that obtains control of one or more businesses in the business combination and establishes the acquisition date as of the date that the acquirer achieves control. This Statement requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquire at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values. This Statement requires the acquirer to recognize acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs separately from the business combination as period expense. This Statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company will implement SFAS No. 141(R) for any business combinations occurring subsequent to April 30, 2009.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”), (ASC 810-10-65-1). SFAS 160 establishes accounting reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. SFAS 160 also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has determined that SFAS 160 will not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Results of Operations:

FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2009 COMPARED
TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2008

Net sales decreased 20.3% to $133,744,642 in fiscal year 2009 from $167,810,994 in the prior year. The Company’s sales decreased in fiscal year 2009 in the industrial electronics, fitness, telecommunications, life sciences, appliance, gaming and semiconductor marketplaces as compared to the prior year. The decrease in revenue for the fiscal year end 2009 is a result of our customers’ decreased demand for product based on

their forecast, which we believe is attributable to the global economic slowdown and the recent financial crisis. The Company anticipates sales will remain soft in the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 and anticipates sales to slowly increase in late calendar 2009.

The Company’s sales in a particular industry are driven by the fluctuating forecasts and end-market demand of the customers within that industry. Sales to customers are subject to variations from period to period depending on customer order terminations, the life cycle of customer products and product transition. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 63% of net sales for fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

Gross profit decreased to $15,974,902 or 11.9% of net sales in fiscal year 2009 compared to $19,563,390 or 11.7% of net sales in the prior year. The decrease in the Company’s gross profit in total dollars is due to decreased revenue levels and decreased plant capacity utilization. The Company has continued to lower its cost structure during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 and will continue cost cutting initiatives based on customer’s demand for product. During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2009, the Company reduced its worldwide headcount, through attrition and lay-offs. Further the Company implemented salary reductions for all non-union U.S. employees beginning February 2009. There can be no assurance that sales levels or gross margins will not continue to decrease in future periods.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal year 2009 to $11,591,440 or 8.7% of net sales compared to $12,375,458 or 7.4% of net sales in fiscal year 2008. The decrease in total dollars is primarily due to a decrease in sales commissions, insurance expense, amortization expense, bonus expense, legal fees and other professional fees. This decrease in total dollars was partially offset by an increase in sales and IT salaries in fiscal year 2009 compared to the prior year. The increase in selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales in fiscal year 2009 is due to the 20% decrease in net sales.

During fiscal year 2008, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing and the carrying value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the fair value indicating a goodwill impairment. The Company completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test used to measure the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill. As a result of this impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the full amount of goodwill ($9.3 million) during the year ended April 30, 2008. The impairment was due to continuing customer pricing pressures and uncertain economic conditions as well as the Company’s declining stock price during fiscal 2008.

Interest expense decreased to $1,710,817 in fiscal year 2009 compared to $2,667,473 in fiscal year 2008. The interest expense decreased due to decreased borrowings under its revolving credit facility, term loan and capital leases and lower interest rates. Interest expense for fiscal year 2010 may increase if interest rates or borrowings increase during fiscal year 2010.

In fiscal year 2009, the income tax expense from operations was $936,278 compared to $1,655,518 in income tax expense in fiscal year 2008. The effective tax rate for the year ended April 30, 2009 was 32%. The lower effective tax rate was a result of the tax holiday for the China operation. The Company recorded income tax expense in fiscal 2008 despite a pre-tax loss due primarily to the fact that the goodwill impairment charge of $9.3 million related to non-deductible goodwill which is treated as a permanent difference between book and tax income (loss).

The Company reported net income of $1,955,847 in fiscal year 2009. Basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.51 for fiscal year 2009 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of ($1.69) for the year ended April 30, 2008. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, net income was $2,842,109 for fiscal year 2008, which resulted in diluted earnings per share of $0.74 for fiscal year 2008 compared to $0.51 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009. We believe the Non-Gaap measure is a meaningful disclosure of the operating performance of the Company as it is an alternative measure utilized by investors, management and the Board of Directors. See the following Non-Gaap Reconciliation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $10,844,265 for the year ended April 30, 2009, compared to $4,163,469 for the prior fiscal year. Cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2009 was primarily the result of a $9,944,685 decrease in accounts receivable, a reduction in inventory levels, the result of the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and net income. Net cash provided by operations in fiscal year 2009 was partially offset by a $9,190,622 reduction in accounts payable. The decrease in accounts payable and accounts receivable is due to payments in the ordinary course of business, coupled with the Company’s reduced sales in fiscal year 2009. The decrease in inventory was the result of our customers’ decreased demand for product based on their forecasts, which we believe is attributable to the global economic slowdown and financial crisis. The Company’s working capital requirements have decreased primarily as a result of the decrease in sales volume during fiscal 2009.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $4,163,469 for the year ended April 30, 2008. Cash provided by operating activities was primarily the result of net income (excluding the goodwill impairment charge) net of the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in trade accounts payable. Trade accounts payable increased due to timing of payment to vendors. Cash provided by operating activities in 2008 was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $6,530,677 due to timing of cash receipts from a significant customer. The Company’s inventories increased by $1,774,698. The primary reason for the increase in inventories was customer safety stock requirements and the startup of new programs with new and existing customers.

Investing Activities.

During fiscal year 2009, the Company purchased approximately $1,180,000 in machinery and equipment for various operating facilities. The Company executed a five year capital lease to finance approximately $360,000 of these acquisitions in fiscal year 2009. The Company decided to postpone the planned expansion of the China facility announced in July 2008 in response to the current economic conditions. The Company anticipates that it will make additional machinery and equipment purchases in fiscal year 2010 of approximately $2 million.

In fiscal year 2008, the Company purchased approximately $2,400,000 in machinery and equipment. The Company executed a five year sale lease back agreement for approximately $615,000 for certain acquisitions made during fiscal year 2008, which has been treated for accounting purposes as a capital lease.

Financing Activities.

The Company also has a term loan with an outstanding balance of $2 million as of April 30, 2009 with quarterly principal payments of $250,000 due each quarter through the quarter ending June 30, 2011. Borrowings under the term loan bear an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2%, which ranged from 2.41% to 6.47% during fiscal year 2009. During fiscal year 2008, borrowings under the term loan were at an interest rate of 6.47%.

On November 19, 2003, the Company purchased the property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters and its Midwestern manufacturing facility. The Company executed a note and mortgage with LaSalle Bank N.A., (now Bank of America) in the amount of $3,600,000. The Company refinanced the property on April 30, 2008. The new note bears a fixed interest rate of 5.59% and is payable in sixty monthly installments. A final payment of approximately $2,115,438 is due on or before April 30, 2013. At April 30, 2009, $2,661,438 and at April 30, 2008, $2,805,000 was outstanding.

In May 2002, the Company acquired a plant in Acuna, Mexico through seller financing. The loan of $1,950,000 was payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $31,000 over six and a half years at a rate of 7% interest per annum. Prior to acquiring that plant, the Company rented the facility. At April 30, 2008 there was $183,372 outstanding under the loan. The loan was paid in full in October 2008.

Cash used in financing activities was $10,093,987 for the year ended April 30, 2009, compared to $711,871 in fiscal year 2008. Cash used in financing activities was primarily the result of net payments made

to reduce the balance outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility by $7,129,559. Cash used in financing activities also was due to payments under the Company’s lease agreements, term loan, and building mortgage obligations.

The impact of inflation for the past three fiscal years has been minimal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders
SigmaTron International, Inc.
Elk Grove, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SigmaTron International, Inc. as of April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SigmaTron International, Inc. at April 30, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2009 and 2008

NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

SigmaTron International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) operate in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in North America, China and Taiwan. Approximately 10% and 9% of the consolidated non-current assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as of April 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A., and AbleMex S.A. de C.V., SigmaTron International Trading Co., its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co. Ltd. (“SigmaTron China”), and its procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and procurement branch is the U.S. dollar.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
April 30, 2009 and 2008

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES — Continued

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid short-term investments maturing within twelve months of the purchase date.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in the consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications, appliance and automotive industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due in accordance with agreed upon terms, and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payments terms are considered past due. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts relates to receivables not expected to be collected from our customers. This allowance is based on management’s assessment of specific customer balances, considering the age of receivables and financial stability of the customer and a five year average of prior uncollectible amounts. If there is an adverse change in the financial condition of the Company’s customers, or if actual defaults are higher than provided for, an addition to the allowance may be necessary.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Inventory Policies

The Company’s inventories include parts and components that may be specialized in nature or subject to customers’ future usage requirements. The Company has programs to minimize the required inventories on hand and actively monitors customer purchase orders, forecasts and backlog. The Company uses estimated allowances to reduce recorded amounts to market values; such estimates could change in the future.

Property, Machinery and Equipment

Property, machinery and equipment are valued at cost. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets:


Buildings		20 years
Machinery and equipment		5-12 years
Office equipment		5 years
Tools and dies		12 months
Leasehold improvements		term of lease

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. At April 30, 2009 and 2008, there were 413,090 and 498,707 anti-dilutive shares, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. In general, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the order has been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order except for consignment inventory. Consignment inventory is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored offsite or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption, or use, by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances. The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties. Any returns for workmanship issues received after each period end are accrued in the respective financial statements.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records shipping and handling costs within selling and administrative expenses. Customers are typically invoiced for shipping costs. Shipping and handling costs were not material to the financial statements for fiscal years 2009 or 2008.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include receivables, debt, accounts payable, and accrued expenses. The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values, due to the short-term nature of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and the market interest rates charged on the Company’s long-term debt.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is

considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

In January 2008, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill impairment test from the last day of the fiscal year to the first day of the fiscal fourth quarter. The impairment test procedures were carried out during the fourth quarter and up to the time of the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2008, which allowed the Company additional time to complete the required analysis. The Company believes that the resulting change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date did not delay, accelerate or avoid an impairment charge. The Company determined that the change in accounting principle related to the annual testing date was preferable under the circumstances and did not result in adjustments to the Company’s financial statements when applied retrospectively. During the fiscal year 2008, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment testing and the carrying value of the Company’s reporting unit exceeded the fair value indicating a goodwill impairment. The Company completed the second step of the goodwill impairment test used to measure the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with

the carrying amount of the goodwill. As a result of this impairment analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge for the full amount of goodwill ($9.3 million) during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2008. The impairment was due to continuing customer pricing pressures and uncertain economic conditions as well as the Company’s declining stock price during fiscal 2008.

Stock Incentive Plans

Under the Company’s stock option plans, options to acquire shares of common stock have been made available for grant to certain employees and directors. Each option granted has an exercise price of not less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The contractual life of each option is generally 10 years. The vesting of the grants varies according to the individual options granted. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant date fair value.

New Accounting Standards

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Options for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS No. 159”). (ASC 820-10-10-1) SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company did not elect the fair value option pursuant to SFAS 159.

The Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprise, SigmaTron China, is subject to a reduction in income taxes within China due to its foreign investment. The reduction in taxes is for a five year period commencing in the period the operation becomes profitable, but not in effect after December 31, 2009.

In June 2006, the FASB issued an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), (ASC 740-10-05-06) that clarifies the accounting and recognition for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s tax returns. The Company adopted FIN 48 on May 1, 2007. The Company recorded the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by recording an increase in the liability for uncertain tax positions of $153,900 that was accounted for as a debit to opening retained earnings. The entire amount of the consolidated worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions could affect the Company’s effective tax rate upon favorable resolution of the uncertain tax positions. Absent new experience in defending these uncertain tax positions in the various jurisdictions to which they relate, the Company cannot currently estimate a range of possible change of the April 30, 2009 liability over the next twelve months.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

In addition to the U.S., the Company’s major taxing jurisdictions include China and Mexico. In the U.S., fiscal years 2006 through 2009 are open under the statue of limitations. The Company’s Chinese enterprise operated under a tax holiday, resulting in no uncertain tax positions for that entity for the 2005 and 2006 tax year. The Company’s Chinese enterprise operates under a 50% tax holiday for tax years 2007 through 2009, which tax years are open under the statue of limitations. In Mexico, tax years from 2005 through 2009 remain open.

NOTE L — STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has stock option plans (“Option Plans”) under which certain employees and outside non-employee directors may acquire up to 1,603,500 shares of common stock. Options available for grant under the employee plans total 1,207,500, with the non-employee director plans allowing for a total of 396,000 options available for grant. At April 30, 2009, the Company has 53,464 shares available for future issuance to employees under the Option Plans. The Option Plans are interpreted and administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The maximum term of options granted under the Option Plans is generally 10 years. Options granted under the Option Plans are either incentive stock options or nonqualified options. Options forfeited under the Option Plans are available for reissuance. Options granted under these plans are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the options granted during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 was $5.40 and $11.56, respectively.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:


	2009			2008

Expected dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected stock price volatility		.750			.750
Average risk-free interest rate		1.70	%		3.91	%
Weighted-average expected life of options	6.5 years			6.5 years

Option-valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion the existing method does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s employee stock options. The Company used the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the option grant to calculate the risk-free interest rate. The weighted-average expected life of options was calculated using the simplified method, due to limited history. The expected volatility and forfeitures of options is based on historical experience and expected future results.
