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 (boxbuild)(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.
The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the
assembly of individual components to the assembly and testing of boxbuildbox-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 marketplaces,industries,
particularly appliance, consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial
electronics, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and automotive.
During August and September 2004 the Company acquired all the interests of
the outside investors in its affiliate, SMT Unlimited L.P. ("SMTU"), and the
general partner of SMTU, SMT Unlimited, Inc. On October 1, 2004, SMT Unlimited,
Inc. was merged into the Company, and SMTU was liquidated, thereby
4
becoming an operating division of the Company. Prior to the acquisition by the
Company, SMTU was consolidated under FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN46R")
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.
In July 2005 the Company closed on the purchase of all of the outstanding
stock of Able, a company headquartered in Hayward California and its wholly
owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., located in Tijuana, Mexico. Able is an
ISO 9001:2000 certified EMS company serving Original Equipment Manufacturers in
the life sciences, telecommunications and industrial electronics industries. The
acquisition of Able has allowed the Company to make strides towards achieving
four objectives: (1) to further diversify its markets, capabilities and customer
base, (2) adding a third low-cost manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, (3)
creating an opportunity to consolidate the California operations into one
facility, and (4) to generate incremental revenue from Able's customers as they
become familiar with the Company's broader array of services. The effective date
of the transaction was July 1, 2005. Able was merged into the Company beginning
in November 2005 and operates as a division of the Company. The purchase price
was approximately $16,800,000 and was recorded as a stock purchase transaction
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The transaction was financed by the
Company's amended credit facility and resulted in an increase of approximately
$8,500,000 in goodwill.
In June 2005 the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada
operation. The Las Vegas facility operated as a complete EMS center specializing
in the assembly of electronic products and cables for a broad range of customers
primarily in the gaming industry. The effective date of the transaction was May
30, 2005. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase, and included a
$2,000,000 cash payment to the Company for the buyer's purchase of the
machinery, equipment and other assets of the Las Vegas operation. The
transaction was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006
and included a gain on the transaction of approximately $311,000. The gain was
offset by a loss of approximately $383,000 from discontinued operations for the
Las Vegas operation for the period ended April 30, 2006.
The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village,
Illinois; Las Vegas, Nevada;Hayward, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; and Wujiang, China.
The Company maintains materials sourcing offices in Elk Grove Village, Illinois;
Las Vegas,
Nevada; Acuna, Mexico;Hayward, California; and Taipei, Taiwan. The Company provides warehousing
services in Del Rio, Texas and Huntsville, Alabama.
In addition, the Company's
42.5% owned affiliate, SMTU, provides EMS in Fremont, California.
The Company is a Delaware corporation which was organized on November 16,
1993, and commenced businessoperations 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,
and 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:
Manufacturing and Related Services. As its customers experience greater
competition and shorter product life cycles in their respective industries, the
Company has responded by expanding its existing prototype services. The Company
provides quick-turnaround, turnkey prototype services at all of its locations.
Materials Procurement.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. Material procurementTurnkey 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.
5
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 utilizesuses 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 allowingpermitting 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 boards through the automated and manual insertion of components
ontoon to 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") to use 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 because it believes that SMT will not
entirely eliminateas the need for PTH technology. The Company believes that OEMs
with products not limited by internal space constraints willCompany's customers continue to
favorrequire both PTH over SMT. SigmaTronand 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.
In additionManufacturing and Related Services. The Company offers The Restriction of
Use of Hazardous Substances ("RoHS") compliant assembly services in order to
printed circuit board assemblies,comply with the Company also
manufactures DC-to-AC inverters, coils, transformersEuropean Union environmental mandate that became effective
Mid-2006 and cable and harness
assemblies. These products are manufactured using both automated and
semi-automated preparation and insertion equipment and manualis currently performing RoHS compliant assembly techniques.services 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 boxbuildtouch 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. 4
Finally, the Company designs and
manufactures DC to AC inverters.
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
provides X-ray laminography services through its affiliate SMTU. 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 Mexico and for goods manufactured for a customer in
Huntsville, Alabama.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.

Sales volume and gross profit marginscan 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. Specifically, variationsCompany 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 ordersaddition
to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly.
Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for turnkey services versus
consignment serviceseach
given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and variationsother materials
in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders
for products with
high raw material costscompared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the
Company's operating results. Further, customers' orders can be delayed, rescheduled or
canceled at any time, which can significantly impactrevenue levels. However, the operating resultsCompany does not believe that such
variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company. The abilityCompany's gross margins.
Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company's revenues for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.

In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders has caused the Company
to replaceexperience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenue and earnings;
such delayed or lost sales in a short period

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 1969.1968. 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 across 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 provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital
expenditure items as necessary to operate Standard Components de Mexico, S.A.its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese
subsidiaries. The Company provides funding to Standard Components de Mexico, S.A.its Mexican and Chinese
subsidiaries in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for pesos and RMB as needed.
The fluctuation of the pesocurrencies from time to time, without an equal or greater
increase in Mexican inflation, has not had a material impact on the financial results of
the Company. In fiscal 2004year 2006 the Company paid approximately $9,400,000$12,040,000 to
Standard Components de Mexico,
S.A.its subsidiaries for services provided.
In May 2002 the Company acquired a plant in Acuna, Mexico through seller
financing. The loan of $1,950,000 is 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, 20042006, approximately $856,000 was outstanding in connection with the
Mexican operation hadfinancing of that facility.
The Company's wholly owned foreign enterprise SigmaTron China is located in
Wujiang, China. Wujiang is located approximately 900 employees.
CHINA OPERATIONS15 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 nine U.S.100 Chinese acres. The term of the land lease is 50 years. Ayears
(Footnote K, contingencies). The Company built a manufacturing plant office
space and dormitories were builton this site during fiscal 2004. The manufacturing plant and
office space is approximately 80,000 square feet, which can be expanded if
conditions require it.require. SigmaTron China operates at this site as the Company's
wholly owned foreign enterprise. During the fourth quarter the plant started prototype and pilot production
in order to gain customer approval of our processes. Production is planned to
slowly ramp up during fiscal 2005. The plant has also started the process of
obtaining ISO registration. At April 30, 20042006, this operation had 192
employees.
SigmaTron China entered into a loan agreement in April 2005, which provides
for a line of credit from the China operationConstruction Bank. The interest rate under
the agreement is 5.76% and at April 30, 2006, SigmaTron China had 43
employees.$1,237,753
outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is collateralized by
the Company's building in Suzhou-Wujiang China and 60 of the 100 Chinese acres
leased at the property (Footnote K, contingencies). The loan was paid in full in
July 2006.
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 provide all of these services.
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.
8
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, or significant price reductions by the Company's competitors
or significant pricing pressures from its customers could result in price reductions that would 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., 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. The Company completed one such transaction in
July 2005 with the acquisition of Able. In the future, the Company may choose to
enter into suchother 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. Recent transactions are disclosed in Footnote L of
the financial statements included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
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. TheTo date, the cost
to the Company of such compliance to date 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. TheFurther, 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 must be in
compliance with the European Standard: the "Restriction of Use of Hazardous
Substance" 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.

within the next twelve months.$52,875,000.
The Company currently expects to ship substantially all of the remaining April
30, 20042006, backlog by the end of the 20052007 fiscal year. Backlog as of April 30,
20032005, totaled approximately $39,000,000.$44,000,000. Variations in the magnitude and
duration of contracts 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.

ITEM 1 A. RISK FACTORS
In addition toThe following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with
evaluating our business and the other risks identified herein, the Company's business
is subject toforward-looking information contained in this
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the following risks: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 ability of the Company to secure and maintain sufficient credit
arrangements is key to its continued operations. The Company entered into an Amended Loan and Security Agreement in January 2004,July
2005, which 7
providesprovided for a revolving credit facility. The maximum borrowing
limit under the amended revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of:
(i) $13,000,000$17,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivable
borrowing base and the lesser of $6,500,000$8,500,000 or varying percentages of the
inventory base. The Amended Loan and Security Agreement expires on SeptemberJune 30,
20052008, and is subject toincludes certain financial covenants. The Amended Loan and
10
Security Agreement also provides a four year term loan in the amount of
$3,000,000. Interest on the term loan accrues at 5.75% and interest only is due
each quarter through June 30, 2006. Quarterly principal payments of $250,000 are
due beginning June 30, 2006.
In September 2005 the Company further amended the above described credit
facility to increase the revolving credit facility from $17,000,000 to
$22,000,000. The amended revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of:
(i) $22,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivable
borrowing base and the lesser of $11,000,000 or varying percentages of the
inventory base.
At April 30, 20042006, the Company was in compliance with its financial
covenants and had no borrowings of $17,924,000 outstanding under this line of
credit.
On June 25, 2004 SMTU amended itscredit and a term note of $3,000,000 outstanding.
SigmaTron China entered into a loan and security agreement ("Agreement") covering its revolvingin April 2005, which provides
for a line of credit facility. Underfrom the amended terms of
the Agreement, the maximum borrowing limit is the lesser of (i) $3,000,000, or
(ii) an amount equal to the sum of (A) eighty-five percent (85%) of the net
amount eligible accounts receivable outstanding at such date; (B) fifty percent
(50%) of eligible inventory at such date and (C) fifty percent (50%) of the net
amount of foreign Solectron eligible accounts receivable outstanding at such
date; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of advances for eligible
inventory shall not exceed one million five hundred thousand dollars
($1,500,000) at any time and the aggregate amount of advances for foreign
Solectron eligible accounts receivable shall not exceed five hundred thousand
dollars ($500,000) at any time.China Construction Bank. The amended revolving credit facility matures on
July 31, 2005. Borrowingsinterest rate under
the revolving credit facility bear interest at
the bank's prime plus 2.0% (6.0%agreement is 5.76% and at April 30, 2004)2006, SigmaTron China had $1,237,500
outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is collateralized by
the Company's building in Suzhou-Wujiang China and 60 of the 100 Chinese acres
leased at the property (Footnote K, contingencies).
The Company is obligatedanticipates credit facilities, cash flow from operations and
leasing resources will be adequate to pay an annual commitment fee of 1/4 of 1.0% onmeet its working capital requirements in
fiscal year 2007. In the average daily unused portion
ofevent the revolving credit facility. The available portion of the revolving credit
facility at April 30, 2004 was $132,798.
In August 1999,business grows rapidly or the Company
entered into a guaranty agreement with SMTU's
lender to guaranteeconsiders an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in
the obligation of SMTU under its revolving credit facility
to a maximum of $2,000,000 plus interest and related costs associated with the
enforcement of the guaranty. In connection with the guaranty agreement, one of
the limited partners of SMTU and a Vice President of SMTU have each executed a
guaranty to the lender to reimbursecurrent or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company for upwill
be able to $500,000 of payments
made byobtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms in the Company under its guaranty to the lender in excess of $1,000,000. In
addition, the limited partner has agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of all
payments made on behalf of SMTU to the lender. The limited partner's obligation
to the Company under the indemnity is reduced dollar for dollar to the extent
the limited partner would otherwise be obligated to pay more than $1,000,000 as
a result of his guaranty to the lender. The amended revolving credit facility
expires on July 31, 2005 and no liability has been recorded by the Company
related to its guaranty.future.
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.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
THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMER BASE IS CONCENTRATED.
Sales to the Company's five largest customers accounted for 68%64%, 59%63% and
51%68% of net sales for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
2003respectively. Further, the Company's two largest customers accounted for 30.1%
and 2002,
respectively.19.7% of net sales, respectively, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006.
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.
8Although the Company believes its relationships with its large customers are
good, the Company generally does not enter into long-term contracts in
connection with the sale of its goods and services. 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.
11
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.
THE COMPANY AND ITS CUSTOMERS MUSTMAY 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 CompanyCompany's customers must be in compliance with the
European Standard; The Restriction of Use of Hazardous Substances directive ("RoHS")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 waste electrical and electronic equipment. The Company is in the initial
stages of working in conjunction with its suppliers and customers to prepare for
the implementation of lead free wave solder and reflow systems.equipment waste. In
addition, electronic component manufacturers must produce electronic components
which are lead free.lead-free. The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for
components used in the Company's production process. Customer'sCustomers' specifications
may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small
number of suppliers. There is no assurance these suppliers will comply with
RoHS. The inability to utilize any such suppliers could have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations.
THE COMPANY HASFACES INTENSE INDUSTRY COMPETITION.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.
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.
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 opened an operation in China in order to better support and
grow its customer base. It is uncertain whether the China operation will have a
material impact, either positive or negative, on the Company's business,
financial condition and results of operations. The success of the operation is
dependent on the Company's ability to obtain new business; its ability to hire and train
qualified personnelpersonnel; and to implement an efficient manufacturing environment.
Other factors could have a material impact on the business, including the
Chinese political climate and its relations with the United States, stability of
the Chinese economy and the need for additional capital to expand operations in
China, and effects of public health
issues (e.g., Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome or SARS).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 success of its Asian suppliers.
12
INABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH.
The Company may not effectively manage its growth and successfully
integrate the management and operations of its recent Able acquisition.
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.
The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, do not believe that
its 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. The limitations include errors and mistakes can be
made, 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
9
currencies. From time to time the currencies fluctuate
against the U.S. dollar. Such fluctuations could have a measurable impact on the
Company's operations and performance. These fluctuations are expected to
continue. The Company does 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 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 or increases in
component cost could have a material impact on the Company's results of
operations. The Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to
competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers.
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 contract
manufacturingEMS 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 ISARE IMPORTANT TO THE COMPANY.
The Company currently has labor union contracts with certainits employees
constituting approximately 70% of its employees.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.
13
THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK IS VOLATILE.
The price of the Company's Common Stockcommon 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 Stockcommon stock and the limited number of market
makers also affect the volatility of the Company's Common Stock.common stock. Such
fluctuations are expected to continue.
THE COMPANY HAS MADE INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO AFFILIATES.
In August 1999, the Company entered into a guaranty agreement with SMTU's
lender to guarantee the obligation of SMTU under its revolving line of credit to
a maximum of $2,000,000 plus interest and related costs associated with the
enforcement of the guaranty. In connection with the guaranty agreement, one of
the limited partners of SMTU and a Vice President of SMTU have each executed a
guaranty to the lender to reimburse the Company for up to $500,000 of payments
made by the Company under its guaranty to the lender in excess of $1,000,000. In
addition, the limited partner has agreed to indemnify the Company for 50% of all
payments made on behalf of SMTU to the lender. The limited partner's obligation
to the Company under the indemnity is reduced dollar for dollar to the extent
the limited partner would otherwise be obligated to pay more than $1,000,000 as
a result of his guaranty to the lender. The amended revolving line of credit
expires on July 31, 2005 and no liability has been recorded by the Company
related to its guaranty.
10
The Company also has guaranteed lease obligations of approximately
$114,000 for SMTU. The Company has been indemnified by one of the other limited
partners in the amount of $57,000 for the guaranteed lease obligations and no
liability has been recorded by the Company related to its guaranty.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Financial Interpretation No.
46R ("FIN 46R"), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities as of November 1,
2003 as it relates to its 42.5% owned affiliate SMTU and consolidated SMTU in
the accompanying financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements
from the earliest date reported.
BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY INCREASES OURTHE 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 new rules, regulations,
and requirements have increased the company's legal, financial compliance and
administrative costs, and made many other activities more time consuming and
costly. Specifically, the Company's ability to become compliant with
Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, may be
very costly. These new rules and regulations have also made it more difficult
for the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These new
rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and
retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on its
audit committee.

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 North America, China and Taiwan.
As the demand for electronic products has continued to increase over the
past several months, the lead-time for many components has increased. Pricing
for some components and related commodities has escalated due to the increased
demand and the transition to RoHS components and may continue to increase in the
future periods. The impact of these price increases could have a negative effect
on the Company's gross margins and operating results.
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 of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), as well as new rules
subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and new
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 new rules, regulations, and requirements have significantly increased the company's
legal expenses, financial compliance and administrative costs, and made many other
activities more time consuming and costly.costly and diverted the attention of senior
management. These new rules and regulations have also made it more difficult and more expensive for
the Company to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These new rules
and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain
qualified members offor our board of directors, particularly to serve on itsour audit

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2002,2006.
In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company
received a Charge
of Discrimination from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regarding a
former employee claiming unspecified damages resultingto experience significant quarterly fluctuations in a lawsuit being filed
against the Company. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to
the chargesits revenues and is defending itself vigorously in this action. Although the
charges do not specify a dollar amount, based on information presently available
to the Company, the Company believes that the resolution of these charges will
not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of the
operations of the Company.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003, a lawsuit was filed by the
liquidating trustee of Circuit Systems, Inc. ("CSI") against Gary R. Fairhead,
President and CEO of the Company and a former director of CSI ("Fairhead"), and
other former directors of CSI, alleging, in part, that Fairhead had breached his
fiduciary duty to CSI and its stockholders in a number of respects. Fairhead
joined the CSI Board in 1995, resigning in early 2001. Fairhead has indicated to
the Company that the Company may have a duty under certain circumstances to (i)
indemnify him against all expenses, including legal fees, judgments and amounts
paid in settlement actually incurred by him in connection with the CSI lawsuit,
and (ii) advance his costs incurred in defending against these claims. Fairhead
has not made any request to the Company for indemnity or advancement of expenses

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONScontinue.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICESPOLICIES
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 and reserves for inventory.inventory and valuation of
goodwill. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of product including the
Company's electronic manufacturing service business are recognized when the
product is shipped.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 usually the same point that title passes under the terms of
the purchase order. Periodicallyorder except for consignment inventory. Consignment inventory is
held onshipped 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 and revenueinventory
is recognized
whenshipped to the product is consumedcustomer if the inventory was stored offsite or transferred
from the segregated part of the customer's facility for consumption, or use, by
the Company's customer. BasedThe Company recognizes revenue upon such transfer. The Company
does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company provides
a ninety (90) day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any
installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has
negotiated extended 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 minimus under the Company's
history of providing contract manufacturing services, we believe that
collectibility is reasonably assured.
14
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 long-lived assets for
impairment including its investment and assets related to its affiliate
SMTU 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 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, if any, exceeds its fair market value. The Company has adopted SFAS No.
144, which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles - The Company adopted on June 1, 2001, SFAS
No. 141 "Business Combinations". Under SFAS No. 141, a purchaser must allocate
the total consideration paid in a business combination to the acquired tangible
and intangible assets based on their fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill
represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in
business combinations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", requires the Company to assess
goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of
possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment.
During the fourth quarter of 2006 the Company
19
completed its annual assessment of impairment regarding the goodwill recorded.
That assessment, supported by independent appraisals did not identify any
impairment as of April 30, 2006.
NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
ConsolidationIn June 2006 FASB Interpretation 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes" was issued which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes
recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a
recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement
recognition and measurement of variablea tax position taken or expected to be taken in a
tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest entities - FIN 46Rand penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition.
This Interpretation is an interpretationeffective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006, and earlier application of the provisions of this Interpretation is
encouraged if the enterprise has not yet issued financial statements, including
interim financial statements, in the period this Interpretation is adopted. The
Company has not yet determined the impact of FASB Interpretation 48 on its
financial statements.
On June 1, 2005, the FASB issued Statement No. 154, Accounting Research BulletinChanges and
Error Corrections, a replacement of APB Opinion No. 5120 and revisesFASB Statement No. 3
(SFAS 154). The statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting
principles, and changes the requirements for consolidation by business enterprisesaccounting for and reporting of variable interest entities. FIN 46R
applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003
and to variable interest entitiesa
change in which an enterprise obtains an interest
after that date. It applies in the first fiscal year or interim period ending
after December 15, 2003, to variable interest entities in which an enterprise
holds a variable interest acquired before February 1, 2003. FIN 46R applies to
public enterprises as of the beginning of the applicable interim or annual
period and to nonpublic enterprises as of the end of the applicable annual
period. It may be applied prospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment as
of the date on which it is first applied or by restating previously issued
financial statements for one or more years with a cumulative-effect adjustment
as of the beginning of the first year restated.accounting principles. The Company adopted FIN 46RSFAS 154 at December 31,
2005, there is no material change to the Company's operating results as a result
of Novemberthis adoption.
In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"). The Company adopted
SFAS 123(R) on May 1, 2003 as it relates2006. SFAS 123(R) requires the Company to its 42.5% owned affiliate SMTU.measure the cost
of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant
date fair value. The accompanyingcost will be recognized in financial statements includeas an
expense over the period during which an employee is required to provide service.
The Company has determined that the adoption SFAS 123(R) will not have a
significant impact on its financial position, and results of operations, EPS and
cash flows for SMTU, with the remaining 57.5%
reflected as a "minority interest." Previously the Company had reflected such
investment on the equity method. The Company adopted the provision of FIN 46R
for its investment in SMTU and has restated all periods presented in the
accompanying financial statements and footnotes to the financial statements.
CAUTIONARY NOTE:
The following discussion provides an analysis of the Company's financial
condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with the
Selected Consolidated Financial Data and the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Company, and the Notes thereto, appearing in this Annual Report on Form
10-K, as well as in conjunction with the cautionary note concerning
forward-looking information which appears at the beginning of Item 1 and the
risk factors which appear at the end of Item 1.
OVERVIEW
The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of
EMS, which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled
(boxbuild) electronic products. In connection with the production of its
assembled products the Company 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.
15
As services provided by the EMS industry have continued to increase over
the past several months lead-time for components have increased. Pricing for
components and related commodities has escalated in the short term and may
continue to increase in the future periods. The impact of these price increases
could have a negative material effect on the Company's gross margins and
operating results.
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 suppliersflows. However, SFAS 123(R) could have a material impact on the Company's
results of operations,operation if additional options are granted.
On December 21, 2004, FSP FAS 109-2, "Accounting and Disclosure Guidance
for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004 ("Act")," was issued. FSP FAS 109-2 provides companies
additional time, beyond the financial reporting period during which the Act took
effect, to evaluate the Act's impact on a company's plan for reinvestment or
repatriation of certain foreign earnings for purposes of applying Statement 109.
FSP FAS 109-2 was effective upon issuance. Based on the Company's analysis of
the repatriation provision of the Act, although not yet finalized, it is
unlikely that the Company may be requiredhad any foreign earnings to operate at a cost disadvantage compared to
competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers.
Sales volume can be misleading as an indication ofrepatriate, and
accordingly, the Company's financial performance. Gross profit margins can vary considerably among customers and
products dependingstatements do not reflect any provisions for taxes on
unremitted foreign earnings. The impact on the typeCompany has not been material.
In November 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, "Inventory Costs - an
amendment of services rendered byARB No. 43, Chapter 4." This statement amends the Company. Variationsguidance in
Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 43, Charter 4, "Inventory Pricing," to
clarify the numberaccounting for abnormal amounts of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to
significant fluctuations inidle facility expense, freight,
handling costs and wasted material (spoilage) and requires that those items be
recognized as current-period charges regardless of whether they meet the
Company's revenue levels and margins. Further,
generally customers' orders can be delayed, rescheduled or canceled at any time,
which can significantly impact the operating resultscriterion of the Company. In
addition, the ability to replace such delayed or lost sales in a short period of
time cannot be assured.
As a manufacturing company, the Company includes all fixed manufacturing
overhead in cost of products sold."abnormal." The inclusionstatement also requires that allocation of fixed
manufacturing overhead
in cost of goods sold magnifies the fluctuations in gross profit margin
percentages caused by fluctuations in net sales and capital expenditures.
Specifically, fluctuations in the mix of consignment and turnkey contracts could
have an effect onproduction overheads to the cost of goods soldconversion be based on the normal capacity
of the production facilities. The provisions of this statement are effective for
inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 (as
of May 1, 2006, for the Company) and are to be applied prospectively. The
Company does not believe the resulting gross profit asimpact will be material.
On October 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of
2004 ("the Act"). The Act provides a percentagededuction from income from qualified
domestic production activities, which will be phased in from 2005 through 2010.
In return, the Act also provides for a two-year phase-out (except for certain
pre-existing binding contracts) of net sales. Consignment orders requirethe existing Extraterritorial Income ("ETI")
exclusion tax benefit for foreign sales which the World Trade Organization
("WTO") ruled was an illegal export subsidy. The European Union ("EU") believes
that the Act fails to adequately repeal the illegal export subsidies because of
the transitional
20
provisions and has asked the WTO to review whether these transitional provisions
are in compliance with their prior ruling. Additionally, the Act creates a
temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income
earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend received deduction for certain
dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The impact on 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. However, turnkey contracts typically have
lower gross margins due to the large material content. Historically, more than
90% of the Company's sales havehas
not been from turnkey orders.
In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders has caused the Company
to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings,
and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue.material.

customers will continue in fiscal year 2007. The increase in the industrial
electronics, life sciences and semiconductor industries is primarily due to
experience sales growth withinto new customers as the appliance marketplace.results of acquisition of Able. The acquisition of
Able has allowed the Company to make strides towards achieving four objectives:
(1) to further diversify its markets, capabilities and customer base, (2) adding
a third low-cost manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, (3) creating an
opportunity to consolidate the California operations into one facility, and (4)
to generate incremental revenue from Able's customers as they become familiar
with the Company's broader array of services.

customers are subject to variations from period to period depending on customer

There can be no assurance that sales levels or gross margins will remain stable
in future periods. Sales to the Company's five largest customers accounted for
68%64% and 62%63% of net sales for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Gross profit decreased to $14,800,099 or 11.9% of net sales in fiscal 2004year
2006 compared to $17,958,154 or 19.0% of net sales in the prior period. The
decrease in the Company's gross profit is the result of pricing pressures within

July 2005. The consolidation of the Fremont and Able Hayward locations was
completed in March 2006. The Company believes operational efficiencies will
improve at both the Hayward and Tijuana manufacturing facilities during fiscal
year 2007. In addition, the Company generally does not obtain long-term
purchase contracts. Any significant changeis currently expanding its Tijuana
manufacturing operation and will transfer specific production from Hayward to
Tijuana. The Company believes this realignment of production will assist in

in the prior year.fiscal year 2005. The reduction in absolute dollars of gross profitincrease is primarily due to lower sales volume for the fiscal year ended 2004. Gross profit increased
as a percent to net sales to 19.0% compared to 18.8% in fiscal 2003. The overall
increase as a percentage is due to product life cycles, product mix and
component pricing. The Company's gross profit margin can vary considerably due
to price erosion within the EMS industry, product mix, component pricing,
overall capacity utilization, product life cycle, the mix of turnkey and
consignment orders and labor cost. There can be no assurance gross profit

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 sheet of SigmaTron
International, Inc. as of April 30, 2006 and the related consolidated statements
of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year 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 audit.
We conducted our audit 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 audit 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
presentation of the consolidated financial statements and schedule. We believe
that our audit provides 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, 2006 and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid short-term
investments maturing within three months of the purchase date.
RESTRICTED CASH
Restricted cash represents amounts held in escrow as it relates to the
acquisition of the Company's corporate headquarters and midwestern manufacturing
facility. The amounts become unrestricted upon settlement of all matters related
to the acquisition of the facility.
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, home appliancesappliance 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 determines its
allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade
accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the
customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the
condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes
off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments
subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for
doubtful accounts.
ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS
The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts related 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 inventory includes an allocation of labor and
overhead, including direct and indirect labor, freight and other overhead costs.
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 projected by management.

PLANT PROPERTYMACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT
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 15 yearsterm of lease
INCOME TAXES
Deferred 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 tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of the diluted
earnings per share is similar to the 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. Approximately 3,100 and 33,100 shares were anti-dilutive for the years
ended April 30, 2005, and 2006, respectively.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues from sales of product including the Company's electronic manufacturing
service business are recognized when the product is shipped. In general it is
the Company's policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the order has
been shipped from its facilities, which is also usually the same point that title passes
under the terms of the purchase order. Periodicallyorder except for consignment inventory.

tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods,
disclosure, and transition.
This Interpretation is an

NOTE K - CONTINGENCIES
On July 16, 2003, the Company signed a land use rights contract with the Wujiang
Land Administration Bureau to obtain the use rights of land in Yao Jiazhuang
Village, Wujiang Province, People's Republic of China. This particular contract
covered the 40 Chinese acres of land that was adjacent to 60 Chinese acres of
land for which the Company had already signed a separate land use rights
contract. For the 40 acre parcel, the Company paid the transfer fee for the land
and subsequently built a dormitory, canteen and power station on the land. In
December 2004 the Company received an administration penalty notice of
approximately $16,000 from the Wujiang Land Resources Bureau which stated that
the Company was occupying the 40 acres without its permission. Under Chinese law
the Wujiang Land Resources Bureau may seek penalties for this violation, which
includes one or more of the following: 1) levying a fine, 2) confiscating any
Company property on the land and 3) requiring the land to be returned. The
Company has not received any other administrative notifications other than the
penalty notice. The Company estimates the value of the land and building to be
$1,100,000 to $1,200,000. The Company received a letter from the Business
Development Department of Wujiang Developing District under the Management
Committee of Wujiang Developing District which stated that the Company acted
properly and that it will indemnify the Company against any penalties assessed
against it by the Wujiang Land Resources Bureau. On January 5, 2005, the Company
paid the penalty which was assessed against it by the Wujiang Land Resources
Bureau. Prior to its payment, the Wujiang Financial Bureau paid the Company the
amount of the fine, which is consistent with the terms of the indemnity letter.
The Company anticipates the issue will be resolved with the Wujiang Land
Resources Bureau without any liability to the Company.

of Able, a company headquartered in Hayward California and its wholly owned
subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., located in Tijuana, Mexico. Able is an ISO
9001:2000 certified EMS company serving Original Equipment Manufacturers in the
life sciences, telecommunications and industrial electronics industries. The
acquisition of Able has allowed the Company to make strides towards achieving
four objectives: (1) to further diversify its markets, capabilities and customer
base, (2) adding a third low-cost manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico, (3)
creating an opportunity to consolidate the California operations into one
facility, and (4) to generate incremental revenue from Able's customers as they
become familiar with the Company's broader array of services. The effective date
of the transaction was July 1, 2005. Able was merged into the Company beginning
in November 2005 and operates as a division of the Company. The purchase price
was approximately $16,800,000 and was recorded as a stock purchase transaction
in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The transaction was financed by the

As a result of the redemptionpurchase of stock options, the Company was able to obtainAble, net income tax operating losses were
carried back, generating an income tax benefit related to stock issued to employees in the amountreceivable of approximately $5,200,000. This tax benefit does not affect net income, but
rather is added to additional paid in capital. As a result the Company generated
a net tax operating loss, which will offset taxes already paid in fiscal 2004,
as well as offset future tax liability. This created a refundable income tax and
a future tax benefit. Since a portion of the benefit is not recognized in the
current period, it is netted against the income tax payable and recorded as a
deferred tax asset.$476,000 at April 30, 2006.

The Company has stock option plans ("Option Plans") under which certain
members
of managementemployees and outside non-managementnon-employee directors may acquire up to 1,303,5001,603,500 shares
of common stock. Options to be granted under the managementemployee plans total 967,500,1,207,500,
with the non-managementnon-employee director plans allowing for a total of 336,000396,000 options to
be granted. At April 30, 2004,2006, the Company has 178,15469,464 shares reserved for future
issuance to managementemployees 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.
Management options of 26,900 vest
over five years with the remaining 663,470 management options vesting over three
years from the date of grant, provided the optionee remains an employee of the
Company. Options granted to non-employee directors are vested on the date of
grant.
The Company has elected to followaccounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement
principles of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,"
and related interpretations. The Company is in accountingcompliance with disclosure
provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for its
employeeStock-Based Compensation and SFAS 148
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. The Company
recognizes compensation expense for restricted shares and restricted stock units
to employees. As of April 30, 2006, there are no issued restricted shares or
restricted stock units.
On April 28, 2006, in response to the issuance of SFAS 123R, the Company's
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved accelerating the
vesting of 349,695 unvested stock options because, as discussed below,held by current employees and
executive officers. Under FIN 44, a modification to accelerate the alternative fair value
accounting method provided forvesting of a
fixed award effectively results in the renewal of that award if, after the
modification, an employee is able to exercise/vest in an award that under SFAS No. 123 requires the
use of
option-valuation models that wereoriginal terms, would have expired unexercisable/vested. If the employee
continues to provide service and would have vested in the awards under the
original vesting provisions, the modification does not developed for use in valuing employee
stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise pricecause an effective
renewal of the Company's employee stock options equals the market priceawards and, accordingly, any incremental compensation expense
measured as of the underlying stock
on themodification date of grant, noshould not be recognized. The Company
determined approximately 15,900 options were effectively renewed and
compensation expense is recognized. Pro forma

NOTE O - STOCK OPTIONS - CONTINUED
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.

District of Illinois, Eastern Division, asserting claims of sexual harassment
and gender discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
claims of violation of the Federal Equal Pay Act. In November 2005 the Company
and the plaintiff settled the lawsuit upon the Company's payment of a nominal
amount to be applied to the plaintiff's legal expenses.
From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims or
investigations that are incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. In
future periods, the Company could be subjected to cash cost or non-cash charges
andto earnings if any of these matters is defending itself vigorously in this action. Althoughresolved on unfavorable terms. However,
although the charges do not specify a dollar amount,ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with
certainty, based on present information, presently available
toincluding the Company's assessment of
the merits of the particular claim, the Company the Company believesdoes not expect that the resolution of these chargeslegal
proceedings or claims will not have aany material adverse effectimpact on theits future
consolidated financial conditionposition or results of the
operations of the Company.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2003, a lawsuit was filed by the
liquidating trustee of Circuit Systems, Inc. ("CSI") against Gary R. Fairhead,
President and CEO of the Company and a former director of CSI ("Fairhead"), and
other former directors of CSI, alleging, in part, that Fairhead had breached his
fiduciary duty to CSI and its stockholders in a number of respects. Fairhead
joined the CSI Board in 1995, resigning in early 2001. Fairhead has indicated to
the Company that the Company may have a duty under certain circumstances to (i)
indemnify him against all expenses, including legal fees, judgments and amounts
paid in settlement actually incurred by him in connection with the CSI lawsuit,
and (ii) advance his costs incurred in defending against these claims. Fairhead
has not made any request to the Company for indemnity or advancement of expenses
in the lawsuit, and the Company has taken no position on either issue.
