PART I
Item 1. Business
Overview
Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the "Company,"“Company,” or "IS&S"“IS&S”) was foundedincorporated in Pennsylvania on February 12, 1988. The Company isoperates in one business segment as a systems integrator that designs, manufactures, sells, and sellsservices air data equipment, engine display systems, standby equipment, primary flight guidance and cockpit display systems for retrofit applications and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"(“OEMs”) and retrofit applications.. The Company supplies integrated Flight Management Systems ("FMS"(“FMS”), Flat Panel Display Systems (“FPDS”), Integrated Standby Units (“ISU”) and advanced Global Positioning System ("GPS"(“GPS”) receivers for precisionthat enable reduced carbon footprint navigation.
Increasingly, the
The Company is positioninghas continued to position itself as a system integrator, which capability provides the Company with the potential to generate more substantive orders over a broader product base. The Company has demonstrated an ability to incorporate added electronic flight bag functionality such as charting and mapping systems into its Flat Panel Display Systems ("FPDS") product line. The strategy, as both a manufacturer and integrator, is designed to leverage the latest technologies developed for the computer and telecommunications industries into advanced and cost-effective solutions for the general aviation, commercial theair transport, United States Department of Defense ("DoD"(“DoD”)/governmental, and foreign military markets. This approach, combined with the Company'sCompany’s industry experience, enablesis designed to enable IS&S to develop high-quality products and systems, to reduce substantially product time to market, and to achieve cost advantages over products offered by its competitors.
For several years the Company has been working with advances in technology to provide pilots with more information to enhance both the safety and efficiency of flying, and has developed its COCKPIT/IP® Cockpit Information Portal ("CIP"(“CIP”) product line, referred to as Flat Panel Display System ("FPDS"), that incorporates proprietary technology, low cost, reduced power consumption, decreased weight, and increased functionality. The Company believes the FPDSCIP product line is suited to address market demand that will be driven by regulatory mandates, new technologies, and the high cost of maintaining aging/obsolete equipment on airplanes that have been in service for up to fifty years. IS&SThe Company has incorporated Electronic Flight Bag (“EFB”) functionality, such as charting and mapping systems, into its FPDS product line.
More recently, the Company has developed an FMS that combines the savings long associated with in flight fuel optimization in enroute flight management combined with the precision of satellite-based navigation required to comply with the regulatory environments of both domestic and international markets. The Company believes that the transitionFMS coupled with its FPDS product line is well suited to FPDS as partaddress market demand driven by further regulatory mandates, new technologies, and the high cost of airplane retrofit requirementsmaintaining aging and obsolete equipment on aircraft that will continue.be in service for up to fifty years. The shift in the regulatory and technological environment is illustrated by the dramatic increase in the number of Space Based Augmentation System (“SBAS”) or Wide Area Augmentation System ("WAAS"(“WAAS”) approach qualified airports.airports, particularly as realized through Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance (“LPV”) navigation procedures. Aircraft equipped with the Company'sCompany’s FMS and FPDS product line (equipped with a WAASSBAS/WAAS/LPV enabled navigator) will be qualified to land at such airports and to comply with upcoming Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"(“FAA”) mandates for Required Navigation Performance ("RNP"(“RNP”), and Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast ("ADS-B"(“ADS-B”) navigation, a fact which IS&S believes will further increase the demand for the Company'sCompany’s products. The Company’s FMS/FPDS product line is designed for new production and retrofit applications into general aviation, commercial air transport and military transport aircraft. In addition, the Company offers a state of the art ISU, integrating the full functionality of the primary and navigation displays into a small backup-powered unit. This ISU builds on the Company’s legacy air data computer to form a complete next-generation cockpit display and navigation upgrade offering to the commercial and military markets.
IS&S sells to both the OEM and the retrofit market and OEMs.markets. Customers include thevarious OEMs, commercial air transport carriers and corporate/general aviation companies, DoD and its commercial contractors, aircraft operators, aircraft modification centers, and foreign militaries, and various OEMs.militaries. Occasionally, IS&S sells its products directly to DoD; however, the Company sells its products primarily to commercial customers for end use in DoD programs. Sales to defense contractors are generally made on commercial terms, although some of the termination and other provisions of government contracts are applicable to these contracts.
Customers have been and may continue to be affected by the uncertain economic conditions that currently exist both in the United States and abroad. Such conditions may cause customers to curtail or delay their spending on both new and existing aircraft. Factors that can impact general economic conditions and the level of spending by customers include, but are not limited to, general levels of consumer spending, increases in fuel and energy costs, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic factors that affect spending behavior. In October 2012 Eclipse Aerospace, Inc. placedaddition, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “Budget Act”) triggered substantial, automatic reductions in both defense and discretionary spending. The automatic across-the-board sequestration cuts are in addition to reductions already reflected in defense funding over a production order with IS&S forten-year period. Furthermore, spending by government agencies may be reduced in the future if tax revenues decline. If customers curtail or delay their spending or are forced to declare bankruptcy or liquidate their operations because of adverse economic conditions, the Company’s revenues and results of operations would be affected adversely. However, the Company believes that, in an initial fifty ship sets of a three hundred ship set contract for the IS&S advanced avionics suite for the production model Eclipse 550. IS&S is the supplier of Primary Flight and Multi-Function Displays as well as the Integrated Flight Management System ("IFMS") for the Eclipse Jet. The advanced avionics suite will include Dual Flight Management systems, Auto Throttles, Synthetic Vision, integrated Terrain Awareness System ("TAWS") and Enhanced Vision System ("EVS").uncertain economic

A wide range of information is critical for proper and safe operation of aircraft. With advances in technology, new types of information to assist pilots are becoming available for display in cockpits, such as satellite based weather, and ground terrain maps.maps, and ADS-B navigation. The Company believes that aircraft cockpits will increasingly become more complete information centers, capable of delivering additional information that is either mandated by regulation or demanded by pilots to assist in the safe and efficient operation of aircraft.
There are three
The Company classifies flight data into four general types of flight data:types: aircraft heading and altitude information, flight critical aircraft control data, navigation data, and navigationmaintenance and aircraft health data. Aircraft heading and altitude information includes aircraft speed, altitude, and rates of ascent and descent. Flight critical aircraft control information includes engine data such as fuel and oil quantity, and other engine measurements. Navigation data includes radio position, flight management, GPS, and alternative source information; which isinformation (i.e. information not originating on the aircraft, including weather depiction maps, GPS navigation, and surface terrain maps.maps). Maintenance and aircraft health data includes on-board sensors and programs to measure parameters related to the health of a system on the aircraft.

aircraft. Engine data are determined by measuring various indices such as temperature, volume, revolutions per minute ("RPM"(“RPM”), and pressure within an aircraft'saircraft’s engines and other mechanical equipment. GPS and alternative source information are derived typically from satellites or equipment located on land and fedtransmitted by satellite or radio signals to the aircraft. Pilots can presently display thisMaintenance and aircraft health data measure multiple parameters on various products and interface with various components to manage, measure, and report on the health, reliability and usability of a system. This information is displayed in the cockpit for reference, and enhanced position awareness.awareness, and reduced support logistics on properly equipped aircraft.
Traditionally, flight data and other cockpit information were displayed on a series of separate analog mechanical instruments. In the early 1980s, Cathode Ray Tubes (“CRT”) and digital displays using Cathode Ray Tubes ("CRT"Liquid Crystal Displays (“LCD”) began to replace some individual analog instruments. Presently, the industry offers high resolution color flat panels using Active Matrix Liquid Crystal Displays ("AMLCD"(“AMLCD”) to replace traditional analog instruments, CRT or CRTLCD displays. IS&S expects that the ability to display more information in aan efficient space efficient and custom platform will become increasingly important if additional information, such as weather depiction maps, traffic information, and surface terrain maps, datalink messaging, and surveillance displays, becomes mandated by regulation or demanded by pilots. Accordingly, the Company believes flat panel displays, which can integrate and display a "suite"“suite” of information, will increasingly replace individual instruments CRTs and CRTs as the method for displaying information in cockpits.LCDs on legacy aircraft.
In the past, equipment data, such as engine and fuel related information, were displayed on conventional analog mechanical instruments. Engine and fuel instruments provide information on engine activity, including oil and hydraulic pressures, and temperature. These instruments are clustered throughout an aircraft'saircraft’s cockpit. Engine and fuel instruments tend to be replaced more frequently than other instruments due to obsolescence and normal wear-and-tear. Inasmuch as information displayed by these instruments is vital for safe and efficient flight, aircraftAircraft operators continue to purchase individual conventional engine and fuel instruments as replacements.replacements, because the information that these instruments display is vital for safe and efficient flight. Increasingly, operators are replacing their clusters of analog mechanical instruments with integrated FPDS.Engine Instrument Display Systems (“EIDS”) or a FPDS packages.
As the skies and airports become more crowded, the aviation industry and its regulators are concentrating on new technologies, procedures, and regulations that allow more aircraft to operate in the skies and on the ground safely, efficiently, and with less impact on the environment. These new technologies and procedures, such as traffic avoidance, ground awareness, increased precision of navigation and vertical position, runway incursion prevention, and increased digital communication, will require innovation and intuitive methods to display situational awareness information for the pilots. The Company believes that flat panel displays provide the best solution to handle these requirements.
Strategy
The Company'sCompany’s objective is to become a leading supplier and integrator of cockpit information, and believes that its industry experience and reputation, technology and products, and business strategy provide the basis to achieve this objective. Key elements of the Company'sCompany’s strategy include:
•·Focusing on retrofits.Cockpit avionics upgrades for existing aircraft is of great interest in the present economic environment. The retrofit of an aircraft with the COCKPIT/IP®IP® FPDS, FMS, and ISU system components is cost effective compared to the acquisition of a new aircraft and can provide the same functionality. When the economy returnsequivalent functionality to more robust levels, the Company believes that lead times to acquireof new aircraft will lengthen and demand for retrofits will continue as operators update their existing fleets to provide needed capacity.aircraft.
·
•- Establishing leadership in the flat panel display market.IS&S expects that many aircraft will be retrofitted with flat panel displays over the next several years. Given the versatility, visual appeal, and lower cost of displaying a series of instruments and other flight relevant information on a single flat panel, the Company believes that flat panel displays will increasingly replace individual analog and digital instruments, LCDs and CRTs. The Company believes that the COCKPIT/
IP®IP® has significant benefits over competitive flat panel displays, currently offered by competitors, including lower cost, larger size, reduced5

Company's Company’s patented and proprietary Integrity Checking Processor and Zooming features provide increased situational awareness, reliability, performance, and utility to the owner/operator. Accordingly, the Company believes that these advantages will allow IS&S to generate significant revenues from the COCKPIT/IP®IP® product, and to increase market share. In addition, demand for new aircraft, FAA mandates to upgrade older aircraft and obsolescence issues on older aircraft will contribute to this growth.
•·Continuing engineering and product development successes.IS&S develops innovative products by combining its avionics, engineering, and design expertise with commercially available technologies, components, and products from non-aviation applications, including the personal computer and telecommunications industries. The Company'sCompany’s COCKPIT/IP® FPDS is an exampleIP® system components present examples of theits ability to engineer products through the selective application of non-avionic technology. In addition, as permitted by law, IS&S applies for and registers its patents and trademarks for the technology and products it develops in the United States and various countries around the world to protect its intellectual property. Research and development ("(“R&D"&D”) expenses were $2.7$2.8 million, $5.5$2.6 million and $5.2$2.7 million for fiscal years ended September 30, 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, respectively.

The Company'sCompany’s FPDS can replace conventional analog and digital displays used currently in a cockpit and can display additional information which is not commonly displayed in the cockpit with conventional analog and digital displays. The COCKPIT/IP®IP® is capable of displaying nearly all types of air data, engine and fuel data, altitude, heading and navigational data, maintenance and aircraft health data, and alternative source information. As technology and information delivery systems develop further, additional information will be displayed in the cockpit, such as surface terrain maps and data link messaging. IS&S designed the COCKPIT/IP®IP® to be capable of displaying information generated from a variety of sources, including its Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum ("RVSM"(“RVSM”) air data system, engine and fuel instrumentation, and third-party data and information products.
The Company's new Integrated Multifunction Standby Unit ("IMSU") can be installed in a variety of fixed wing aircraft and helicopters. The IMSU measures, processes, and displays altitude, attitude, airspeed, slip/skid, and navigation display information into an intuitive and concise single instrument display. The IMSU incorporates an integral Inertial Measurement Unit ("IMU") and includes an air data module to measure static and total pressure for independent display of altitude, airspeed, and Mach number. The unit also has an optional battery module that provides one hour of operation of the unit during emergency conditions or complete electrical system failures.

Flight Management Systems
The IS&S NextGen Flight Management System is an easily installed navigation and Development)performance computer that complements the IS&S Flat Panel Display System upgrade for commercial air transport aircraft. The FMS interfaces with the IS&S SBAS GPS receiver to provide a Global Positioning System (“GPS”) receiver to provide a GPS based navigation solution. The GPS receiver is located remotely depending on space availability. To minimize use of cockpit space and ease installation efforts, the FMS is housed in an ARINC 739B compliant Multifunction and Control Display Unit (MCDU).
Each FMS/MCDU has an LCD display, keyboard, mode and function keys, line select keys, annunciator lights, and supports ethernet data loading. The flight crew can manually or datalink waypoint flight plans, routes or user-defined waypoints on the IS&S FMS and modify and update these plans via the FMS/MCDU screen. Once the flight plan data is entered, the MCDU computes the most economical flight profiles and provides steering commands for use by the aircraft control system to fly the airplane along the desired route.
The FMS/MCDU package incorporates a robust navigation database capable of storing today’s global database with ample growth for the future. Flight crews can utilize the data in the navigation database to create, edit and modify flight plans for display on the FPDS. The navigation data includes airways, jet routes, SIDS, STARS, and company stored routes.
The FMS/MCDU is ARINC 739B compliant, which provides an interface option for other cockpit equipment such as SATCOM, ACARS, CMU, HUD, and a printer. The interface to the IS&S FPDS is provided via Ethernet. The IS&S Electronic Flight Bag (“EFB”) is integrated with the FMS/MCDU and FPDS where the control selection of the EFB features and applications are handled via the FMS/MCDU. The display is a five inch LCD with VGA resolution. The touchscreen display uses LED backlighting and is sunlight readable.
Integrated Standby Unit
The Company’s new Integrated Standby Unit (ISU) incorporates the measurement and display of attitude, altitude, airspeed, and navigation data into a single standby/backup navigation instrument for military, commercial air transport and corporate/general aviation applications. The ISU has an optional battery module that allows operation of the unit under emergency conditions. The ISU has an integral Inertial Measurement Unit that includes accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer triads. The unit also includes an integral air data measurement module for measurement of static and total pressure for display of altitude, airspeed, and mach number.
The ISU is a highly reliable and accurate standby navigation system that is based on IS&S’s merger of COCKPIT/IP® display technology and RVSM air data products coupled with the latest breakthroughs in MEMS Gyros with exceptional stability. An IS&S proprietary algorithm provides for accurate computation of attitude, heading and air data parameters. The unit includes a triaxial magnetometer that is designed to be tolerant to the local soft iron effects.
The display uses a familiar Primary Flight Display (“PFD”) format to reduce pilot workload. Logistics and maintenance savings are realized due to increased reliability and a reduction in LRUs. The unit is equipped with built-in test and display of navigational aid and maintenance data.
Air Data Systems and Components
The Company'sCompany’s air data products calculate and display various measures such as aircraft speed, altitude, and rate of ascent and descent. These air data products utilize advanced sensors to gather air pressure data and customized algorithms to interpret data, thus allowing the system to calculate altitude more accurately. During fiscal 2012, 2011,2014, 2013, and 2010,2012, sales of air data systems and components accounted for 13%12%, 21%12%, and 32%13%, respectively, of total revenues.

Sales and Marketing
IS&S focuses its sales efforts on passenger and cargo carrying aircraft operators, general aviation operators, aircraft modification centers, the DoD, DoD contractors, and OEMs. ThePeriodically, the Company periodically evaluates its sales and marketing efforts with respect to these focus areas and, where appropriate, makes use of third-party sales representatives who receive compensation through commissions based on performance.
The Company'sCompany’s ability to provide prompt and effective repair and upgrade service is critical to its marketing efforts. The Company’s customer service program offers a 24-hour customer hotline. The Company services its customers utilizing either field service engineers or its in-house repair and upgrade facility. The Company canmay lend spare units to customers during periods when it is repairing or overhauling their equipment. The Company'sCompany’s in-house turnaround times for both repairs and upgrades average less than 30 days. Generally, IS&S provides customers with a standard two-year warranty on new products. The Company offers customers extended warranties of varying termslengths beyond the two years for additional fees.
The majority of the Company'sCompany’s sales, personnel and assets are within the United States. In fiscal year 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 20102012 net sales outside the United States amounted to $4.4$12.0 million, $4.0$4.8 million and $2.8$4.4 million, respectively.
Government Regulation
FAA regulations govern the manufacture and installation of the Company'sCompany’s products in aircraft owned and operated in the United States, and the IS&S facility is FAA certified. The most significant product and installation regulations are TSO and STC, which establish the minimum product performance standards.
Generally, sales of IS&S products to European or other non-U.S. owners of aircraft require approval of EASA, the European counterpart of the FAA, or other relevant governmental agencies.
Table of Contents
EASA certification requirements for the manufacture and installation of the Company'sCompany’s products in European owned aircraft mirror FAA regulations. The EASAregulations, and its process for granting European certificationscertification is similar to that of the FAA.
In addition to product related regulations, IS&S is subject to U.S. Government procurement regulations with respect to the sale of the Company'sCompany’s products to government entities or government contractors. These regulations establish requirements which contractors must meet to do business with or on behalf of government entities. The government agency or general contractor retains the right to terminate a contract at any time at its convenience. Upon such alteration or termination, IS&S is generally entitled to an equitable adjustment to the contract price so that the Company receives the purchase price for products or services already delivered and reimbursement for allowable costs incurred and for termination related costs.
Manufacturing, Assembly and Materials Acquisition
The Company'sCompany’s manufacturing activities consist primarily of assembling and testing components and subassemblies, and integrating them into finished systems. IS&S believes this approach allows it to achieve relatively flexible manufacturing capacity and to minimize expenses. Typically, the Company purchases components for products from third-party suppliers and assembles them in a clean room environment. Many of the components purchased are standard products, although certain parts are made to the Company'sCompany’s specifications.
When appropriate, IS&S enters into long-term supply agreements and uses its relationships with long-term suppliers to improve product quality and availability, and to reduce delivery times and product costs. In addition, the Company identifies alternative suppliers for important component parts. Generally, the introduction of component parts from new suppliers ininto existing products requires FAA certification of the entire finished product if the newly sourced component varies significantly from the original drawings and specifications. To date, IS&S has not experienced significant delays in delivery of products caused by the inability to obtain either component parts or FAA approval of products incorporating new component parts.
Quality Assurance
Product quality is of vital importance to the Company's customers and IS&S.importance. The Company is ISO 9001 and AS 9100CAS9100C certified. These standards represent an international consensus on effective management practices with the goal of ensuring that a company can deliver its products and related services consistently in a manner that meets or exceeds customer quality requirements. IS&S's&S’s certification to these standards allows the Company to represent to customers that it maintains high quality industry standards in the education of its employees, and in the design and manufacture of its products. In addition, the Company'sCompany’s products undergo extensive and documented quality control testing prior to being delivered to customers. As part

evolving market, as the demand for flat panel displays increases, IS&S may face future competition in this area from other suppliers.
The Company believes that the principal competitive factors in its markets are cost, development cycle time, responsiveness to customer preferences, product quality, technology, and reliability. IS&S believes that its significant and long-standing customer relationships reflect the Company'sCompany’s ability to compete favorably with respect to these factors.
Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights
IS&S relies on patents to protect its proprietary technology. As of September 30, 20122014, the Company holds 2429 U.S. patents and has 56 U.S. patent applications pending relating to its technology. In addition, IS&S holds 2559 international patents and has 2526 international patent applications pending. Certain of these patents and patent applications cover technology relating to air data measurement systems whileand others cover technology relating to flat panel display systems and other aspects of the COCKPIT/IP®IP® solution. While IS&S believes these patents have significant value in protecting its technology, it believes that the innovative skill, technical expertise, and know-how of the Company'sCompany’s personnel in applying the technology reflected in its patents would be difficult, costly, and time consuming to reproduce.
While IS&S is not aware of any pending lawsuits against the Company alleging patent infringement or the violation of other intellectual property rights, it cannot be certain such infringement claims will not be asserted against the Company in the future.
Employees
As of September 30, 2012,2014, IS&S had 105146 employees. The Company'sCompany’s future success depends on its ability to attract, train and retain highly qualified personnel. IS&S plans to hire additional personnel, in particular R&D engineers, during the next twelve months. Competition for such qualified personnel is intense, and the Company may not be able to attract, train, and retain highly qualified personnel in the future. The Company is non union.not unionized.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Each reader should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties and other factors described below, in addition to the other information set forth in this report, because they could materially and adversely affect the Company'sCompany’s business, operating results, financial condition, cash flows, prospects, and the value of an investment in IS&S common stock.
Risks Related to IS&S Business
Reductions in government expenditures could adversely affect IS&S business.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (the "Budget Act") will result in reduced U.S. government funding of the defense industry unless Congress acts. The Budget Act set $900 billion in immediate cuts to discretionary government spending for 2012 through 2021. It also established a bi-partisan congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (the "Super Committee") and charged it with recommending legislation by November 23, 2011, the result of which would reduce net government spending by at least $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years, in addition to the $900 billion in immediate discretionary spending reductions. The failure of the Super Committee to meet its objectives has triggered an automatic sequestration of discretionary appropriations, which if not altered by Congress, will make up any shortfall necessary to achieve the $1.2 trillion target. Under the Budget Act, 50% of any shortfall from the $1.2 trillion target would automatically be applied as a reduction to discretionary appropriations for national defense programs. Unless the U.S. Government takes further action, the Budget Control Act of 2011 (Budget Act) will trigger substantial, automatic reductions in both defense and discretionary spending in January 2013. While the impact of sequestration is yet to be determined,spending. The automatic across-the-board sequestration cuts would beare in addition to reductions already reflected in the defense funding over a ten-year period. The resulting automatic across-the board budget cuts in sequestrationperiod and could have negativesignificant consequences to the Company'sCompany’s business and industry. There could be disruptionWhile the full impact of ongoing programs and initiatives, andsequestration is undetermined, the resulting personnel reductions could negatively impact the Company's manufacturing operations and engineering expertise, and accelerate the loss of skills and knowledge. The impact of any resulting reductions in defense appropriations, and/or reductions in U.S. defense spending could result in delays in procurement of products and services due to lack of funding, and negatively affect the Company'sIS&S’s revenues, financial condition and results of operations.
The ongoing global recessionuncertainty and concern regarding credit tighteningavailability could adversely affect IS&S.
The global recessionuncertainty and continued concern regarding credit availability, including failures of financial institutions, has initiatedproduced unprecedented government intervention in the U.S., Europe and other regions of the world. If these concerns continue or worsen, risks to IS&S include:
•·declines in revenues and profitability from reduced orders, payment delays or other factors caused by the economic problems of customers;
·
•- reprioritization of government spending away from defense programs in which IS&S participates;
·
•- reduced access to credit sources; and
·
•- disruptions in supplies associated with any financial constraints faced by vendors.
A portion of IS&S sales has been, and is expected to continue to be, from defense contractors or government agencies in connection with government aircraft retrofit or original equipment manufacturing contracts. Sales to government contractors and government agencies could decline as a result of DoD spending cuts and general budgetary constraints which may become more severe as the federal budget deficit remains high.

Tax changes could affect the Company's effective tax rate and future profitability.
The Company's future results could be affected negatively by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of changes in the overall profitability and changes to statutory tax rates in the United States, changes in tax legislation, and the results of audits and examination of previously filed tax returns.
The loss of a key customer or a significant deterioration in the financial condition of a key customer could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s results of operations.
The Company'sCompany’s revenue is concentrated with a limited number of customers. During fiscal year 20122014 IS&S derived 63%59% of revenue from the top 5 five customers. IS&S expects a relatively small number of customers to account for a majority of its revenues for the

As a result of the concentrated customer base, a loss of one or more of these customers or a dispute or litigation with one of these key customers could have a material adverse effect onaffect adversely its revenue and results of operations. For example, in October 2014, Delta issued a cancellation notice to the Company purporting to terminate its contract with IS&S. The Company will enter into a contractually mandated non-binding mediation with Delta in accordance with the terms of the contract. (See Item 3. Legal Proceedings).
In addition, the Company monitors and evaluates the credit status of its customers and attempts to adjust sales terms as appropriate. Despite these efforts, a significant deterioration in the financial condition or bankruptcy filing of a key customer could have a material effect onaffect adversely the Company'sCompany’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.
On November 29, 2011, AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. and certain of its other U.S.-based subsidiaries, filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company's revenues from American Airlines, Inc. accounted for 5%, 8% and 8% total revenue for the fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. (See Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements attached).
Growth of the Company'sCompany’s customer base could be limited by delays or difficulties in completing development and introduction of planned products or product enhancements. If IS&S fails to enhance existing products, or to develop and achieve market acceptance for flat panel displays, flight management systems and other new products that meet customer requirements, its business, willreputation and statements of income may be adversely affected.affected adversely.
Currently, IS&S currently spends a large portion of its research and developmentR&D efforts in developing and marketing the FPDS, FMS, and complementary products. The Company'sCompany’s ability to grow and diversify its operations through introduction and sale of new products is dependent upon the continued success in product development and engineering activities, its sales and marketing efforts, and regulatory approvals to sell such products. Sales growth will depend in part on market acceptance of and demand for the FPDS, FMS, and future products. IS&S cannot be certain that it will be able to develop, introduce or market its FPDS, FMS, or other new products or product enhancements in a timely or cost-effective manner, or that any new products will receive market acceptance or necessary regulatory approval. In addition, the Company’s business is dependent upon maintaining its reputation and relationships with existing customers. If the Company’s performance does not meet its customers expectations, the Company’s reputation and its relationships could be damaged, which may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and statements of income.
In seeking new customers, the Company may have difficulty in displacing the products of incumbent competitors. Accordingly, IS&S cannot be assured that potential customers will accept its products or that existing customers will not abandon them.
The Company'sCompany’s revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, which may cause its stock price to decline.
The Company'sCompany’s revenue and operating results may vary significantly from quarter to quarter due tobecause of a number of factors, including:
•·demand for products and/or delivery schedule changes by its customers;
·
•- capital expenditure budgets of aircraft owners and operators, and appropriation cycles of the U.S. government;
Table of Contents·
•- changes in the use of the
Company'sCompany’s products, including air data systems, and flat panel displays;displays, and flight management systems;
·
•- delays in introducing or obtaining government approval for new products;
·
•- new product introductions by competitors;
·
•- changes in IS&S pricing policies or pricing policies of
competitors,competitors; and
·
•- costs related to possible acquisition of technologies or businesses.
IS&S plans to structure its sales and marketing operations and to fund levels of product development in proportion to its total sales. As a result, a delay in generating revenues could cause significant variations in its operating results from quarter to quarter.
Contracts can be terminated by customers at any time and, therefore, may not result in sales.
The Company'sCompany’s retrofit projects are generally pursuant to either a direct contract with a customer or a subcontract with a general contractor to a customer (including government agencies). Each contract, including contracts with government agencies, includes various terms and conditions that impose certain requirements on IS&S, including the ability of the customergovernment agency or general contractor to alter the price, quantity or delivery schedule of the products. In addition, typically, the customerAdditionally, each government agency or general contractor retains the right to terminate the contract at any time at its convenience. Upon alteration or termination of these contracts, IS&S could beis entitled typically to an equitable adjustment to the contract price so that it may receive the purchase pricewould be compensated for delivered items that it has delivered and reimbursement for allowable costs incurred. Accordingly, because these contracts can be terminated, the Company cannot be assured that its retrofit backlog will result in sales. For example, in October 2014, Delta issued a cancellation notice to the Company purporting to terminate its contract with IS&S resulting in $61.9 million of debookings with respect thereto.

The Company enters into fixed-price contracts or service arrangements to perform specified design and EMDEDC services related to its products that could subject IS&S to losses in the event the Company incurs cost overruns on its projects.
During fiscal 2012,2014, approximately 25%32% percent of the Company'sCompany’s total sales were from fixed-price customer funded EMD serviceEDC arrangements with customers to perform specified design and EMDEDC services related to its products. This allowsThese arrangements allow IS&S to benefit by recovering some of the cost of its engineeringproduct development group,costs, but it carries the burdenrisk of potential cost overruns because the Company assumes all of the cost risk.overruns. If the Company'sCompany’s initial cost estimates are incorrect, it can incur potentially incur large one time charges and losses on these contracts. These EMD serviceEDC arrangements can expose the Company potentially, to potential losses because the customer may compel IS&S to complete a project or, in the event of a termination for default, pay the incremental cost of its replacement by another provider regardless of the size of any cost overruns that occur over the life of the contract.provider. Because some of these projects involve new technologies and applications, and can last for more than a year, unforeseen events such as technological difficulties, fluctuations in the price of raw materials, problems with subcontractors, and cost overruns can result in the contractual price becoming less favorable or even unprofitable to IS&S over time. Furthermore, if the Company does not meet project deadlines or if its products do not meet customer specifications, it may need to renegotiate contracts on less favorable terms, be forced to pay penalties or liquidated damages, or suffer losses if the customer exercises its right to terminate. The Company'sCompany’s results of operations are dependent on its ability to maximize earnings from the EMDEDC service arrangements. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns could have a negative impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
IS&S depends on key personnel to manage its business effectively, and an inability to retain its key employees could adversely impact the Company'sCompany’s ability to compete.
The Company'sCompany’s success depends on the efforts, abilities, and expertise of its senior management and other key personnel. There can be no assurance IS&S will be able to retain such employees, and the

loss of some of whom could damage its ability to execute its business strategy. The Company intends to continue hiring key management, engineering, and sales and marketing personnel. In spite of a U.S. unemployment rate of approximately 8% during 2012, competitionCompetition for skilled personnel is intense, and IS&S may not be able to attract or retain additional qualified personnel.
The Company'sCompany’s future success will depend in part on its ability to implement and improve its operational, administrative and financial systems and controls and to manage, train and expand its employee base. IS&S cannot be assuredprovide assurance that, after giving effect to its cost containment initiatives, that current and planned personnel levels, systems, procedures, and controls will be adequate to support the current and future customer base. In such a circumstance, the Company may not be able to exploit existing and potential market opportunities. Any delays or difficulties encountered could impair the Company'sCompany’s ability to attract new customers or maintain its relationships with existing customers.
IS&S relies on third party suppliers for components of its products, and any interruption in the supply of these components could hinder its ability to deliver products on a timely basis.
The Company'sCompany’s manufacturing process consists primarily of assembling components purchased from its supply chain. The suppliers may not continue to be available to IS&S. If the Company is unable to maintain relationships with key third party suppliers, the development and distribution of its products could be delayed until equivalent components can be obtained and integrated into the products. In addition, substitution of certain components from other manufacturers may require product redesign, FAA or other approval, which could delay the Company'sCompany’s ability to ship products.
The Company'sCompany’s competition includes other manufacturers of air data systems and flight information displays against whom it may not be able to compete successfully.
The markets for the Company'sCompany’s products are intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Competitors include Honeywell, International Inc., Rockwell Collins, Inc., Thales, Communications, Inc., GE AviationGEAS, and L-3 Communications. All these competitors have substantially significantly greater financial, technical, and human resources than does IS&S. In addition, these competitors have much greater experience in and resources for marketing their products. As a result, these competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and customer preferences, or to devote greater resources to development, promotion and sale of their products than IS&S can. The Company'sCompany’s competitors may have greater name recognition and more extensive customer bases. Such competition could result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced gross margins, and loss of market share.
The Company'sCompany’s success depends on its ability to protect its proprietary rights against potential risk of infringement. If IS&S is unable to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights, it may be unable to compete effectively.
The Company'sCompany’s success and ability to compete will depend in part on its ability to obtain and maintain patent or other protection for its technology and products, both in the United States and internationally. In addition, IS&S must operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
IS&S currently holds 2429 U.S. patents and has 56 U.S. patent applications pending. In addition, the Company holds 2559 international patents and has 2526 international patent applications pending. IS&S cannot be certain that patents will be issued on any of its present or future applications. In addition, existing patents or future patents may not adequately protect the Company'sCompany’s technology if they are not

broad enough and are successfully challenged, or if other entities are able to develop competing methods without violating its patents. If IS&S is not successful in protecting its intellectual property, competitors could begin to offer products that incorporate the Company'sCompany’s technology. Patent protection involves complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, is highly uncertain. Litigation relating to
Table of Contents
intellectual property is often very time consuming and expensive. If a successful claim of patent infringement were made against IS&S, and if the Company were unable to develop non-infringing technology, or to license the infringed or similar technology on a timely and cost-effective basis, the Company might not be able to produce and sell some of its products. Further, IS&S has incurred, and may continue to incur, significant legal and other costs in defense of its intellectual property.
A cybersecuritycyber security incident could have a negative impact.
A cyber-attack that bypasses the Company'sCompany’s information technology (IT)(“IT”) security systems causing an IT security breach, may lead to a material disruption of its IT business systems and/or the loss of business information resulting in an adverse business impact. Risks may include:
•·negative impact on future results due to the theft, destruction, loss, misappropriation, or release of confidential data or intellectual property;
·
•- operational or business delays resulting from the disruption of IT systems and subsequent clean-up and mitigation activities; and
·
•- negative publicity resulting in reputation or brand damage with customers, partners or industry peers.
Tax changes could affect the Company’s effective tax rate and future profitability.
The Company’s future results could be affected negatively by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of changes in the overall profitability and changes to statutory tax rates in the United States, changes in tax legislation, and the results of audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns.
IS&S may not be able to identify or complete acquisitions, or it may consummate an acquisition that adversely affects the Company'sCompany’s operating results.
One of the Company'sCompany’s strategies ismay be to acquire businesses or technologies that complement its existing operations. IS&S has limited experience in acquiring businesses or technologies. There can be no assurance IS&S will be able to acquire or profitably manage acquisitions or successfully integrate them into its operations. Furthermore, certain risks are inherent in pursuing acquisitions, such as the demands of management'smanagement’s time and attention and combiningintegrating disparate company cultures and facilities. Acquisitions may have an adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s operating results, particularly in quarters immediately following the consummation of such transactions, as the Company integrates operations of acquired businesses into its operations. Once integrated, acquisitions may not perform as expected or be accretive to the Company'sCompany’s results of operations.
Risks Related to the Company'sCompany’s Industry
If IS&S is unable to respond to rapid technological change, its products could become obsolete and its reputation could suffer.
Future generations of flat panel displays, air data systems, engine and fuel displays, and flat panel displaysflight management systems which embody new technologies or new industry standards could render the Company'sCompany’s products obsolete. The market for aviation products is subject to rapid technological change, new product introductions, changes in customer preferences, and evolving industry standards and government regulations. The Company'sCompany’s future success will depend on its ability to:
•·embrace rapidly changing technologies;
·
•- adapt the
Company'sCompany’s products to evolving industry standards and government regulations; and
·
•- develop and introduce timely, high quality, cost effective new products, and product enhancements to address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers.
If IS&S fails to modify or improve its products in response to evolving industry standards and government regulations, its products could rapidly become obsolete.
The Company'sCompany’s products are currently subject to direct regulation by the FAA its European counterpart, EASA, and other equivalent organizations. The Company'sCompany’s products, as they relate to
Table of Contents
aircraft applications, must be approved by the FAA, EASA, or other equivalent organizations before they can be installed in an aircraft. To be certified, IS&S must demonstrate that its products are accurate and able to maintain certain levels
15
Table of Contents
of repeatability over time. Although certification requirements of the FAA and EASA are substantially similar, no formal reciprocity exists between the two regulators. Accordingly, even though the Company'sCompany’s products are FAA-approved,FAA approved, it may need to obtain approval from EASA or other appropriate organizations to have them certified for installation outside the United States.
Significant delay in receiving certification for newly developed products or enhancements to the Company'sCompany’s products, or the loss of certification for its existing products, could result in lost sales or delays in sales. Furthermore, new regulations or product standards, and changes to existing product standards could require IS&S to change its products and underlying technology. IS&S cannot ensure that it will receive regulatory approval on a timely basis or at all.
Inasmuch as the Company'sCompany’s products utilize sophisticated technology and are deployed in complex aircraft cockpit environments, problems with these products may arise that could harm the Company'sCompany’s reputation for quality assurance and, consequently, its business prospects.
The Company'sCompany’s products use complex system designs and components that may contain errors, omissions, or defects, particularly when the Company incorporates new technologies into its products or when it releases new versions or enhancements of its existing products. Despite the Company'sCompany’s quality assurance process, errors, omissions or defects could occur in its current products, in new products, or in new versions or enhancements of existing products. IS&S may be required to redesign or recall those products or pay damages. Such an event could result in the following:
•·delay or loss of revenues;
·
•- cancellation of customer contracts;
·
•- diversion of development resources;
·
•- damage to the
Company'sCompany’s reputation;
·
•- increased service and warranty costs; or
·
•- litigation costs.
Although IS&S carries product liability insurance, this insurance may not be adequate to cover its losses in the event of a large product liability claim. In addition, IS&S may not be able to maintain such insurance in the future.
The Company has limited experience in marketing and distributing its products internationally.
IS&S expectsplans to derive an increasing amount of its revenues from sales outside the United States, particularly in Europe. Risks inherent in doing business internationally include:
•·differing regulatory requirements;
·
•- legal uncertainty regarding liability;
·
•- tariffs, trade barriers, and other regulatory barriers;
·
•- political and economic instability;
·
•- changes in diplomatic and trade relationships;
·
•- potentially adverse tax consequences;
·
•- the impact of recessions in economies outside the United States; and
Table of Contents·
•- variances and unexpected changes in local laws and regulations.
Currently, all of the Company'sCompany’s international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. An increase in the dollar'sdollar’s value compared to other currencies could render its products less competitive in the international markets. In the future, IS&S may be required to conduct sales in the foreign country'scountry’s local currency, thus exposing the Company to fluctuations and volatility in exchange rates that could adversely affect its operating results.

Item 2. Properties.
In fiscal 2001, IS&S purchased 7.5 acres of land in the Eagleview Corporate Park in Exton, Pennsylvania. Shortly thereafter, the Company constructed a 45,000 square foot design, manufacturing and office facility on this site. Land development approval allows for expansion of up to 20,400 square feet. Such expansion would provide for a 65,20065,400 square foot facility which the Company believes is adequate to meet the needs of the Company for the foreseeable future.
The Company also occupies approximately 8,358 square feet of office and warehouse space in Exton, Pennsylvania under a lease expiring March, 2018. The lease contains two options to extend the lease for a total of six additional years. The Company’s current annual lease expense for this property is approximately $52,000.

The Company believes that Delta’s purported termination of the probabilitycontract was wrongful and in breach of an unfavorable outcomethe terms of the contract. The contract provides for non-binding mediation in the event of such a dispute, and the Company has initiated the mediation process.

At this time, the outcome of the mediation and any potential subsequent negotiation with or litigation against Delta is not determinable.
On January 17, 2007 the Company filed suit in the Court of Common Pleas for Delaware County, Pennsylvania against Strathman Associates, a former software consultant for IS&S, alleging that Strathman had improperly used IS&S trade secret and proprietary information in assisting J2 and Kollsman in developing the J2/Kollsman Air Data Computer.

Item 7. Management'sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with "Selected“Selected Consolidated Financial Data"Data” and the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this report.
Overview
Innovative Solutions and Support, Inc. (the “Company,” or “IS&S”) was foundedincorporated in Pennsylvania on February 12, 1988. The Company isoperates in one business segment as a systems integrator that designs, develops, manufactures, sells, and sellsservices flight guidance and cockpit display systems for original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"(“OEMs”) and retrofit applications. The Company supplies integrated flight management systems ("FMS"Flight Management Systems (“FMS”) and advanced global positioning system ("GPS"Global Positioning System (“GPS”) receivers for precisionthat enable reduced carbon footprint navigation. Increasingly, theThe Company is positioningcontinues to position itself as a system integrator, which capability provides the Company with the potential to generate more substantive orders over a broader product base. The Company has demonstrated an ability to incorporate added electronic flight bag functionality such as charting and mapping systems into its Flat Panel Display Systems ("FPDS") product line. The strategy, as both a manufacturer and integrator, is designed to leverage the latest technologies developed for the computer and telecommunications industries into advanced and cost-effective solutions for the general aviation, commercial theair transport, United States Department of Defense ("DoD"(“DoD”)/governmental, and foreign military markets. This approach, combined with the Company'sCompany’s industry experience, enablesis designed to enable IS&S to develop high-qualityhigh quality products and systems, to reduce substantially product time to market and to achieve cost advantages over products offered by its competitors.
The Company's sales are derived from the sale of its productsCompany sells to both the retrofit market and OEMs. Customers include thecommercial air transport carriers and corporate/general aviation companies, DoD and its commercial contractors, aircraft operators, aircraft modification centers, foreign militaries, and various OEMs. Occasionally, IS&S sells its products directly to DoD; however, the Company sells its products primarily to commercial customers for end use in DoD programs. Sales to defense contractors are made on commercial terms, although some of the termination and other provisions of government contracts are applicable to these contracts.
Cost of sales related to product sales is comprised of material, components and componentsthird party avionics purchased from the Company's supplier base andsuppliers, direct in-house assembly labor, and overhead costs. Many components used in assemblingof the productscomponents are standard, although certain parts are manufactured to meet the Company'sIS&S specifications. The overhead portion of cost of sales is comprised primarily of salaries and benefits, building occupancy costs, depreciation, supplies, and outside service costs related to production, purchasing, material control, and quality departments, andcontrol. Cost of sales includes warranty costs.
IS&S cost
Cost of sales related to Engineering-Modification andEngineering Development ("EMD"Contracts (“EDC”) sales is comprised of engineering labor, consulting services, and other costs associated with specific design and development projects thatprojects. These costs are billable under specific customer agreements.
incurred pursuant to contractual arrangements and are accounted for typically as contract costs within cost of sales with the reimbursement accounted for as a sale in accordance with the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Company funded research and development (“R&D”) expenditures relate to internally-funded efforts towards the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. These costs are expensed as incurred and reported as R&D expenses. The Company intends to continue investing in the development of new products that complement its current product offerings and willto expense associated R&D costs as they are incurred.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of sales, marketing, business development, professional services, costs; salaries and benefits for executive and administrative personnel;personnel, facility costs, recruiting, legal, and accounting, costs;bad debt expense and other general corporate expenses.
IS&S sells its products to agencies of the United States and foreign governments, aircraft operators, aircraft modification centers, and original equipment manufacturers. The Company'sCompany’s customers have been and may continue to be affected by the ongoing adverseuncertain economic conditions that currently exist both in the United States and abroad. Such conditions may cause the Company'sCompany’s customers to curtail or delay spending on both new and existing aircraft. Factors that can impact general economic conditions and the level of spending by IS&S customers include, but are not limited to, general levels of consumer spending, increases in fuel and energy costs, conditions in the real estate and mortgage markets, labor and healthcare costs, access to credit, consumer confidence, and other

factors which can affect spending behavior. In addition, the Budget Control Act of 2011 triggered substantial, automatic reductions in both defense and discretionary spending. The automatic across-the-board sequestration cuts are in addition to reductions already reflected in defense funding over a ten-year period. Furthermore, future spending by government agencies may be further reduced because of declining tax revenues associated with the present economic environment.revenues. If the Company'sCompany’s customers curtail or delay their spending, or are forced to declare bankruptcy or liquidate their operations because of adverse economic conditions, IS&S's&S’s revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected. However, the Company believes that, in a decliningan uncertain economic environment, customers that may have otherwise elected to purchase newly manufactured aircraft, may be interested instead in retrofitting existing aircraft as a cost effective alternative, which will create a marketthereby creating an opportunity for IS&S's products.&S.
On November 29, 2011, AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. and certain of its other U.S.-based subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company's revenues from American Airlines, Inc. accounted for 5%, 8% and 8% total revenue for the fiscal years 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As at September 30, 2012, orders from American Airlines, Inc. account for a material portion of the Company's backlog. (See Note 13—Commitments and Contingencies in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements attached).
The Company experienced reductions ofincreases in personnel costs in fiscal 2012year 2014 primarily in the R&D and 2011,production departments, and reductions in personnel costs in each of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, primarily through resignation and retirements of employees who were not replaced, and a planned reduction in workforce. The reductions affected most departments in the Company.

Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 20122014 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 20112013
Net sales. Net sales decreased $1.2increased $12.5 million, or 4.5%39.7%, to $24.5$44.1 million for fiscal 20122014 from $25.7$31.6 million for fiscal 2011.2013. For fiscal 2012,2014, product sales decreased $6.9increased $6.5 million and EMDEDC sales increased $5.7$6.0 million from fiscal 2011.2013. The decreaseincrease in product sales was primarily the result of higher shipments of displays for retrofit programs to the DoD, military subcontractors and commercial transport customers. The increase in EDC sales was primarily the result of increased activity on EDC projects awarded in prior years and additional contract modifications received during fiscal 2014. EDC sales recognized under the Delta contract were $2.9 million and $0.8 million in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013, respectively.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales was $30.5 million, or 69.2% of net sales for fiscal 2014 compared to $18.9 million or 60% of net sales in fiscal 2013. The increase in cost of sales was primarily the result of increased sales volume in both product and EDC programs. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales reflects primarily increased costs to the EDC programs. In addition, EDC margins were negatively impacted by net cumulative catch-up adjustments of $1.5 million and $444,000 resulting from changes in estimated costs to complete on certain EDC programs for fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. Margin in fiscal 2014 was 30.8% as compared to 40% in fiscal 2013. The margin decrease reflects primarily the negative margins on EDC contracts and product mix shipped during fiscal 2014.

Research and development. R&D expense was $2.6 million for fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013. R&D expense declined to 5.9% of net sales in fiscal 2014 compared to 8.2% in fiscal 2013 reflecting the increase in fiscal 2014 net sales.
Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.0 million, or 36.9%, to $11.1 million or 25.2%, of net sales for fiscal 2014 from $8.1 million or 25.7% of net sales, for fiscal 2013. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended September 30, 2014 reflects the bad debt expense of $3.7 million related to the Delta contract, (See Item 3. Legal Proceedings.), partially offset by the expense of $657,000 recorded in the year ended September 30, 2013 related to a previously disclosed legal matter. (See the description of the Daghigh matter in Note 14-Contingencies in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements attached).
Interest income, net. Net interest income decreased by $19,000 to $22,000 for fiscal 2014 from $41,000 for fiscal 2013. The decrease in interest was primarily the result of lower cash balances throughout the year ended September 30, 2014 versus the year ended September 30, 2013. A special cash dividend of $25 million was paid to shareholders in late December 2012.
Other income. Other miscellaneous income remained unchanged in fiscal 2014 compared to fiscal 2013.
Income taxes. The income tax benefit for fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 was $0.3 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.1 million or for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The tax benefit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014 resulted from a pretax loss of $0.1 million and the favorable impact of the Federal Research and Development Tax Credits (“Federal R&D Tax Credits”) . The tax expense for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to the pretax income offset in part by Federal R&D Tax Credits. On January 1, 2013, Congress enacted the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 which retroactively reinstated and extended the Federal R&D Tax Credit from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013.

The effective tax rate for the year ended September 30, 2011 was 20.4%. The effective tax rate differsresulting from the statutory rate for the year ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the utilization of research and development tax credits.
The Company had maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in prior years due to uncertainty as to the extent and timing of profitability in future periods. At September 30, 2012, the Company considered all available evidence, including the recent history of pre-tax income before income taxes, together with projections of profitability in future periods. As a resultyears.
The current balance of this analysis, the Company determined that the positive evidence at September 30, 2012 was sufficient to conclude that it was appropriate to reverse thedeferred income tax valuation allowance previously recorded against itsrelates principally to net federal deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012.operating losses (“NOL”) of certain state taxing jurisdictions. The Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations generate losses, further adjustments to the valuation allowance are possible. The current balance of the deferred tax valuation allowance relates principally to net operating losses ("NOL") of certain state taxing jurisdictions. There is currently no assurance of such future income before income taxes.
Net income. As a result of the factors described above, the Company'sCompany’s net income for fiscal 20122013 was $3.0$1.9 million for fiscal 2012 compared to net income of $0.7$3.0 million for fiscal 2011.2012. Net income for fiscal 2012 includes the tax benefit of $2.4 million related to the reversal of valuation allowances related to federal net deferred tax assets discussed above. On a fully diluted basis, the net income per share was $0.11 for fiscal 2013 compared to $0.18 for fiscal 2012, compared to $0.04 for fiscal 2011.2012.
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010
Net sales. Net sales increased $0.5 million, or 1.9%, to $25.7 million for fiscal 2011 from $25.2 million for fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2011, product sales increased $1.8 million and EMD sales decreased $1.3 million from fiscal 2010. The increase in product sales was primarily the result of sales to new commercial customers and retrofit upgrades for Eclipse E500 aircraft owners through Eclipse Aerospace Inc., while the decrease in EMD sales was primarily the result of a reduction in volume and a delayed contract award.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased $0.4 million, or 3.7%, to $11.9 million, or 46.4% of net sales for fiscal 2011 from $11.5 million, or 45.6% of net sales for fiscal 2010. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in variable production costs associated with increased sales volume and higher material costs in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010.
Research and development. Research and development expense increased $0.3 million, or 5.1%, to $5.5 million or 21.4% of net sales for fiscal 2011 from $5.2 million, or 20.7% of net sales for fiscal 2010. This increase resulted from research and development investment incurred to win EMD contracts, and is consistent with the Company's strategy to target a percentage of total sales in a given period, for the purposes of continued investment in on-going research and development. The Company's R&D expense consists primarily of payroll-related expenses of employees engaged in R&D activities, engineering related product materials and equipment and subcontracting costs.
Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 5.1%, to $7.7 million, or 29.9% of net sales for fiscal 2011 from $8.1 million or 32.1% of net sales for fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in selling expenses (primarily reduced participation in trade shows) and travel expenses during the year.
Interest income, net. Net interest income decreased slightly by $43,000 to $142,000 or 0.6% of net sales for fiscal 2011 from $186,000 or 0.7% of net sales for fiscal 2010. The decrease was primarily because of lower interest rates during fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010.
Other income. Other income increased marginally by $0.1 million in fiscal 2011 compared to fiscal 2010 from proceeds of settlements of legal proceedings.

Income taxes. The income tax expense for fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was $0.2 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010. The increase in the amount of tax from a tax benefit to an expense was attributable primarily to the increase in pre-tax income for the fiscal year ended 2011, and less net reversals of deductible temporary differences in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 compared to the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.
The effective tax rate for the year ended September 30, 2011 was 20.4%. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the year ended September 30, 2011 primarily due to the utilization of research and development tax credits.
The effective tax benefit rate for the year ended September 30, 2010 was (17.1%). The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate for the year ended September 30, 2010 due to the reversal of certain deductible temporary differences in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, which at September 30, 2009 were offset by a valuation allowance, as such reversals generated current tax benefits in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, and decreases in uncertain tax positions due to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitation.
Net income. As a result of the factors described above, the Company's net income for fiscal 2011 was $0.7 million for both fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010. On a fully diluted basis, the net income per share was $0.04 for both fiscal 2011 and for fiscal 2010.

The Company used $0.7 million of Contents
Operating Activitiescash in operating activities during fiscal 2014 compared to a $2.2 million use of cash in fiscal 2013. The cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2014 resulted primarily from an increase in net unbilled receivables of $0.9 million, inventory of $1.3 million and deferred income taxes of $0.6 million, partially offset by cash provided from increase in accrued expenses of $0.6 million, share-based compensation of $0.6 million and depreciation and amortization of $0.6 million. Unbilled receivables represent principally sales recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed to customers in accordance with applicable contract terms on engineering development projects. The increases in both unbilled receivables and inventory reflect increased sales in the engineering development contract and product sales in fiscal 2014.
The Company used $2.2 million of cash in operating activities during fiscal 2013 compared to operating activities providing cash of $1.4 million during fiscal 2012. The cash used in operating activities for the year ended September 30, 2013 resulted primarily from an increase in unbilled receivables of $4.9 million, partially offset by cash provided from increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.0 million. The Company expects to recover the cash invested in funding the EDC programs from customers as it completes project milestones.
During fiscal 2012, the Company generated $1.4 million in cash from operating activities. Cash generated from operations was dueattributable primarily to increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred revenues resulting from advance billings to customers as scheduled by the respective EMD program contracts. These wereEDC programs, offset partially by increases in inventory and unbilled receivables, which funded materials, inventory and third party service providers to fulfill the Company'sCompany’s obligations under the EMDEDC programs.
The Company generated $2.3 million in cash flow from operating activities during fiscal 2011. A focus on inventory reduction contributed to the positive cash flow, and was offset by increases in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Increase in accounts receivable at the end

Table of 2011 was due to higher sales to customers on normal credit terms at the end of the year compared to sales to customers on advance payment terms at the end of 2010.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $5.6 million in fiscal 2010, or a $0.3 million increase from fiscal 2009, despite the $4.3 million decline in net income in fiscal 2010. The increase was attributable primarily to decreases in accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, inventory reductions and an increase in income tax payable, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Summary
Future capital requirements depend upon numerous factors, including market acceptance of the Company'sCompany’s products, the timing and rate of expansion of business, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other factors. IS&S has experienced increases in expenditures since its inception and anticipates that expenditures will continuereturn to increaselevels experienced prior to fiscal 2014 in the foreseeable future. On December 7, 2012 the Company's Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend in the amount of $1.50 per share, payable on or about December 27, 2012 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 17, 2012. The aggregate amount of the payment to be made in connection with the dividend will be approximately $24.9 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents after payment of the special cash dividend will still beprovide sufficient to provide capital to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. Further, IS&S may need to develop and introduce new or enhanced products, to respond to competitive pressures, to invest in or acquire businesses or technologies, or to respond to unanticipated requirements or developments. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity securities, dilution to existing shareholders may result. If insufficient funds are available, the Company may not be able to introduce new products or to compete effectively.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company'sCompany’s most critical accounting policies are revenue recognition, income taxes, inventory valuation, share based compensation and warranty reserves.
Revenue recognition
The Company enters into sales arrangements with customers that, in general, provide for the Company to design, develop, manufacture and deliver air data equipment, large flat-panel display systems, flight information computers, and advanced monitoring systems that measure and display critical flight information, including data relative to aircraft separation, airspeed, and altitude, as well asand engine and fuel data measurements. The Company'sCompany’s sales arrangements may include multiple deliverables as defined in FASB ASC Topic 605-25 "“Multiple-Element Arrangements"Arrangements ("” (“ASC Topic 605-25"605-25”), which typically include design and engineering services and the production and delivery of the flat panel display and related components. The Company includes any design and engineering services elements in EMDEDC sales and any functional upgrade and product elements in product sales on the accompanying consolidated statementstatements of operations.income.
To the extent that an arrangement contains software elements that are essential to the functionality of tangible products sold in the arrangement, the Company recognizes revenue for the deliverables in

accordance with the guidance included in FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-14, "“Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements", ("” (“ASU 2009-14"2009-14”), ; and FASB Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements-a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU 2009-132009-13”); and FASB ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition" ("“Revenue Recognition” (“ASC Topic 605"605”).
To the extent that an arrangement contains software components, which include functional upgrades that are sold on a standalone basis and which the Company has deemed outside the scope of the exception defined by ASU 2009-14, the Company recognizes software revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 985, "“Software" ("” (“ASC Topic 985"985”).
Multiple Element Arrangements—Arrangements
The Company identifies all goods and/or services that are to be delivered separately under such a sales arrangement and allocates revenuesales to each deliverable (if more than one) based on that deliverable'sdeliverable’s selling price. The Company then considers the appropriate recognition method for each deliverable. The Company'sCompany’s multiple element arrangements can include typically defined design and development activities, and/or functional upgrades, along withand product sales.
The Company utilizes the selling price hierarchy that has been established by FASB Accounting Standards UpdateASU 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force" ("ASU 2009-13"), which requires that the selling price for each deliverable be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific objective evidence nor third-party evidence is available. To the extent that an arrangement includes a deliverable for which estimated selling price is used, the Company'sCompany determines the best estimate of selling price by applying the same pricing policies and methodologies that would be used to determine the price to sell the deliverable on a standalone basis.

Engineering development contract services
The Company may enter into contracts to perform specified design and EMDEDC services related to its products. The Company recognizes revenue from these arrangements as EMDEDC revenue, following the guidance included in ASC Topic 605-35, and considers the nature of these contracts (including
Table of Contents
term, size of contract, and level of effort) when determining the appropriate accounting treatment for a particular contract. Certain of these contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting when the Company determines that progress toward completion is reasonable and reliably estimable, and the contract is long-term in nature. The Company uses the completed contract method for all others contracts. Sales and earningsprofit margins under the percentage-of-completion method are recorded based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract under the cost-to-cost method (for development effort).method.
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company to estimate the profit margin for each individual contract, and to apply that profit margin on a uniform basis as sales are recorded under the contract. The estimation of profit margins requires the Company to make projections of the total sales to be generated and the total costs that will be incurred under a contract. TheseThe projections require the Company to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as the complexity of design and related development costs, performance of subcontractors, availability and cost of materials, engineering productivity and cost, overhead, and capital costs. These contracts sometimeContracts sometimes include purchase options for additional quantities and customer change orders for additional or revised product functionality. Sales and costs related to profitable purchase options are included in the Company'sCompany’s estimates only when the options are exercised, while sales and costs related to unprofitable purchase options are included in the Company'sCompany’s estimates when exercise is determined to be probable. Sales related to change orders are included in profit estimates only if they can be estimated reliably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. Purchase options and change orders are accounted for either as an integral part of the original contract or separately, depending upon the nature and value of the item. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable.
For contracts for which uncertainty regarding the performance against certain contract terms remains and in which no loss is expected, the Company uses the zero profit margin approach to applying the percentage of completion method following the guidance included in FASB ASC Topic 605-35.
Estimates
The Company reviews estimates of profit margins for contracts are reviewed typically by the Company on a quarterly basis. AssumingIf the initial estimates of sales and costs under a contract are accurate, the percentage-of-completion method results in the profit margin being recorded evenly as revenue is recognized under the contract.contracts. Changes in these underlying estimates due tobecause of either revisions in sales and cost estimates or the exercise of contract options may result in profit margins being recognized unevenly over a contract asbecause such changes are accounted for on a cumulative basis in the period in which estimates are revised. Significant changes in estimates related to accounting for long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company'sCompany’s results of operationsincome in the period in which the revised estimate is made. Cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates did not have a material effect on our resultsare disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements of operations during the years ended September 30, 2012, 2011 or 2010.Company.
Income taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes" ("“Income Taxes” (“ASC Topic 740"740”), which utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company'sCompany’s assets, liabilities, and expected benefits of utilizing net operating lossNOL and tax credit carry-forwards. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled, and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment. At the end of each interim and year-end reporting period, the Company prepares an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate and applies that annual effective income tax rate to ordinary year-to-date pre-tax income for the interim period. Specific tax items discrete to a particular quarter are recorded in income tax expense for that quarter. The estimated annual effective tax rate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent periods.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be

realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified, and significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates deferred income taxes on a quarterly basis to determine if valuation allowances are required by considering available evidence. Deferred tax assets are recognized when expected future taxable income is sufficient to allow the related tax benefits to reduce taxes that would otherwise be payable. The sources of taxable income that may be available to realize the benefit of deferred tax assets are future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and credit carry-forwards, taxable income in carry-back years, and tax planning strategies which are both prudent and feasible. The Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is inherently uncertain and if its current

or future operations generate losses, that it could make further adjustments to the valuation allowance are possible.allowance. The current balance of the deferred tax valuation allowance relates principally to net operating losses ("NOL")NOL of certain state taxing jurisdictions. There is currently no assurance of such future income before income taxes.
The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the (i) benefit recognized and measured for financial statement purposes and (ii) the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company'sCompany’s tax return. To the extent that the Company'sCompany’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company has elected to record any interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
Inventory valuation
The Company values inventory at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Inventories are written down for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between inventory cost and estimated net realizable value based on a combination of historical usage and assumptions based on expected usage related to estimated future customer and market demands. The Company'sCompany’s method of valuing inventory contains uncertainties because the calculation requires management to consider inventory aging, to make assumptions regarding expected usage, and to apply judgments on forecasted future demand, market conditions, and technological obsolescence. If actual future demand or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-down may be required.
Stock-based compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation under FASB ASC Topic 505-50,"“Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees"Non-Employees” (" (“ASC Topic 505-50"505-50”) and FASB ASC Topic 718, "“Stock Compensation" ("” (“ASC Topic 718"718”), which require the Company to measure the cost of employee or non-employee director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award using an option pricing model. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee or non-employee director is required to provide service in exchange for the award.
Accordingly, adoption of ASC Topic 505-50's505-50’s and ASC Topic 718's718’s fair value method results in recording compensation costs under the Company'sCompany’s stock based compensation plans. The Company determined the fair value of its stock option awards at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option pricing models and generally accepted valuation techniques require management to make assumptions and to apply judgment to determine the fair value of its awards. These assumptions and judgments include estimating future volatility of the Company'sCompany’s stock price, expected dividend yield, future employee turnover rates, and future employee stock option exercise behaviors.
Table of Contents
Changes in these assumptions can materially affect fair value estimates. The Company does not believe that there is a reasonable likelihood exists that there will be a material change in future estimates or assumptions used to determine stock-based compensation expense. However, if actual results are not consistent with the Company'sCompany’s estimates or assumptions, the Company would have to adjust its estimates. Such adjustments could have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s financial position.
Warranty reserves
The Company offers warranties on allsome products of various lengths. At the time of shipment, and when sold separately, the Company establishes a reserve estimated for costs of warranties based on its best estimate of the amounts necessary to settle future and existing claims using historical data on products sold as of the balance sheet date. The length of the warranty period, the product'sproduct’s failure rates, and the customer'scustomer’s usage affect warranty cost. If actual warranty costs differ from the Company'sCompany’s estimated amounts, future results of operations could be adversely affected.affected adversely. Warranty cost is recorded as cost of sales, and the reserve balance is recorded as an accrued expense. While the Company maintains product quality programs and processes, its warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates and the related corrective costs. If actual product failure rates and/or corrective costs differ from the estimates, the Company revises estimated warranty liability.
Self-insurance reserves
Beginning January 1, 2014, the Company self-insured a significant portion of its employee medical insurance. The Company maintains a stop-loss insurance policy that limits its losses both on a per employee basis and an aggregate basis. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated based upon actuarial assumptions such as historical claims experience, demographic factors and other actuarial assumptions. The Company estimated the total medical claims incurred but not reported and the Company believes that it has adequate reserves for these claims at September 30, 2014. However, the actual value of such claims could be significantly affected if future occurrences and claims differ from these assumptions. At September 30, 2014, the estimated liability for medical claims incurred but not reported was $106,000. The Company has recorded the excess of funded premiums over estimated claims incurred but not reported of $169,000 as a current asset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 20112014, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value MeasurementNo. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement606)”. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs". ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 amends the fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to converge GAAP and IFRS requirements for measuring amounts at fair value as well as disclosures about these measurements. ASU 2011-04 wasrequire revenue to be adopted prospectively and wasrecognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for the interim and annualreporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as of the date of initial application recognized and disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit should be offset against a deferred tax asset for a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such liability is to be settled by reducing an available tax carryforward in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-042013-11 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05") which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement would present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that would present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is to be adopted retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, because the guidance only changes the presentation of financial information. On December 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 deferring the effective date for implementation of ASU 2011-05 related only to reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income until a later date to be determined after further consideration by the FASB.
Business Segments
The Company operates in one business segment whichas a systems integrator that designs, manufactures, sells, and sellsservices flight information computers, large flat-panel displaysguidance and advanced monitoringcockpit display systems to the DoD, government agencies, defense contractors,for OEMs and retrofit applications. Customers include commercial air transport carriers and corporate/general aviation markets.companies, DoD and its commercial contractors, aircraft operators, aircraft modification centers, foreign militaries, and various OEMs. The Company currently derives the majority of its revenues from the sale of this equipment and related EMDEDC services. Almost all of the Company'sCompany’s sales, operating results and identifiable assets are in the United States. In fiscal year 2012, 2011,2014, 2013, and 20102012 net sales outside the United States amounted to $12 million, $4.8 million and $4.4 million, $4.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.
The Company'sCompany’s operations are exposed to market risks primarily as a result of changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company'sCompany’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to its cash equivalents. The Company'sCompany’s cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market accounts,funds, which bear interest at a variable rate. The Company does not participate in interest rate hedging. A change in interest rates earned on the Company’s cash equivalents would impact interest income and cash flows, but would not impact the fair market value of the underlying instruments. Assuming that the balances during fiscal 20122014 were to remain constant and no actions were takenthat the Company did not act to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity, a hypothetical 1% increase in the Company's variable interest rates would have affected interest income by approximately $0.4$0.1 million. This would result in a net impact on cash flows of approximately $0.4$0.1 million for fiscal 2012.2014.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
Preparation of consolidated
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformityaccordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requireswhich require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date ofin the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates are used in accounting for, among other items, allowancelong term contracts, allowances for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product warranty cost liability,liabilities, income taxes, engineering and material costs on EDC programs, percentage of completion on customer funded EMDEDC contracts, recoverability of long-lived assets and contingencies. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the period they are determined.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Cash equivalents at September 30, 20122014 and 20112013 consist of cash on deposit and cash invested in money market funds with financial institutions.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with FASB ASCFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360-10, "“Property, Plant and Equipment"Equipment”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In addition, long-lived assets to be disposed of should be reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The Company considers historical performance and future estimated results in its evaluation of potential impairment and then compares the carrying amount of the asset to estimated future cash flows expected to result from use of the asset. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated expected undiscounted future cash flows, the Company measures the amount of the impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to its fair value. The estimation of fair value is generally measured by discounting expected future cash flows. No impairment charges were recorded in fiscal years 2012, 20112014, 2013 or 2010.2012.
Revenue Recognition
The Company enters into sales arrangements with customers that, in general, provide for the Company to design, develop, manufacture, and deliver large flat-panel display systems, flight information computers, and advanced monitoring systems that measure and display critical flight information, including data relative to aircraft separation, airspeed, altitude, and engine and fuel data measurements. The Company'sCompany’s sales arrangements may include multiple deliverables as defined in FASB ASC Topic 605-25 "“Multiple ElementMultiple-Element Arrangements" ("” (“ASC Topic 605-25"605-25”), which typically include customer funded design EMDand engineering services, and the production and delivery of the flat panel display and related components.

The Company utilizes the selling price hierarchy that has been established by FASB Accounting Standards Update No.ASU 2009-13, "Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements—a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force" ("ASU 2009-13"), which requires that the selling price for each deliverable be based on vendor specificvendor-specific objective evidence if available, third partythird-party evidence if vendor specificvendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor specificvendor-specific objective evidence nor third partythird-party evidence is available.

Engineering Development Contracts
The Company may enter into contracts to perform specified design and EMD servicesEDC related to its products. The Company recognizes revenue from these arrangements as EMD revenue,EDC sales, following the guidance included in ASC Topic 605-35, and considers the nature of these contracts (including term, size of contract, and level of effort) when determining the appropriate accounting treatment for a particular contract. Certain of these contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting when the Company determines that progress toward completion is reasonablereasonably and reliably estimable, and the contract is long-term in nature. The Company uses the completed contract method for all othersother contracts. Sales and earningsprofit margins under the percentage-of-completion method are recorded based on the ratio of actual costs incurred to total estimated costs expected to be incurred related to the contract under the cost-to-cost method (for development effort).method.
The percentage-of-completion method of accounting requires the Company to estimate the profit margin for each individual contract or contract segment and to apply that profit margin on a uniform basis as sales are recorded under the contract. The estimation of profit marginsmargin requires the Company to make projections of the total sales to be generated and the total costs that will be incurred under a contract. These projections require the Company to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as the complexity of design and related development costs, performance of subcontractors, availability and cost of materials, engineering productivity, and cost,prototype costs, overhead costs, and capital costs. These contracts sometimesometimes include purchase options for additional quantities and for customer change orders for additional or revised product functionality. SalesRevenues and costs related to profitable purchase options are included in the Company'sCompany’s estimates only when the options are exercised, while salesrevenues and costs related to unprofitable purchase options are included in the Company'sCompany’s estimates when exercise is determined to be probable. SalesRevenues related to change orders are included in profit estimates only if they can be estimated reliably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. Purchase options and change orders are accounted for either as an integral part of the original contract, or separately, depending upon the nature and value of the item.item, in the period in which any change order or purchase option becomes effective. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which losses become probable and estimable.
For contracts for which uncertainty regarding the performance against certain contract terms remains, and in which no loss is expected, the Company uses the zero profit margin approach to applying the percentage of completionpercentage-of-completion method following the guidance included in FASB ASC Topic 605-35.
Estimates of profit margins for contracts are reviewed typically by the Company on a quarterly basis.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, "“Income Taxes" ("” (“ASC Topic 740"740”), which utilizes a balance sheet approach to provide for income taxes. Under this method, the Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company'sCompany’s assets, liabilities, and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss (“NOL”)and tax credit carry-forwards. The impact on deferred taxes of changes in tax rates and laws, if any, are applied to the years during which temporary differences are expected to be settled and are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period of enactment.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be verified objectively, and significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates deferred income taxes on a quarterly basis to determine if valuation allowances are required by considering available evidence. Deferred tax assets are recognized when expected future taxable income is sufficient to allow the related tax benefits to reduce taxes that would otherwise be payable. The sources of taxable income that may be available to realize the benefit of deferred tax assets are future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and credit carry-forwards, taxable income in carry-back years, and tax planning strategies which are both prudent and feasible. The Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations generate losses, further adjustments to the valuation allowance arewould be possible. The current balance of the deferred tax valuation allowance relates principally to net operating losses ("NOL")NOLs of certain state taxing jurisdictions. There is currently no assurance of such future, state income before income taxes.
The accounting for uncertainty in income taxes requires a more likely than not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the (i) benefit recognized and measured for financial statement purposes and (ii) the tax position taken or expected to be taken on the Company'sCompany’s tax return. To the extent that the Company'sCompany’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company has elected to record any interest or penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as income tax expense.
The Company files a consolidated United States federal income tax return. The Company prepares and files tax returns based on the interpretation of tax laws and regulations, and records estimates based on these judgments and interpretations. In the normal course of business, the tax returns are subject to examination by various taxing authorities. Such examinations may result in future tax and interest assessments by these taxing authorities, and the Company records a liability when it is probable that there will be an assessment. The Company adjusts the estimates periodically as a result of ongoing

Early adoption is permitted.
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, we will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC Topic 606)”. The comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing of revenue recognition for certain transactions. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as of the date of initial application recognized and disclosure of results under old standards. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of adoption and the implementation approach to be used.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit when a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax benefit should be offset against a deferred tax asset for a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward if such liability is to be settled by reducing an available tax carryforward in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-042013-11 during the fourth quarter of fiscal year ending September 30, 2013 did not have a material impact on the Company'sCompany’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, "Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05") which requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders' equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In the two-statement approach, the first statement would present total net income and its components followed consecutively by a second statement that would present total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and the total of comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 is to be adopted retrospectively and is effective for annual periods beginning after December 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, because the guidance only changes the presentation of financial information. In December 15, 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 deferring the effective date for implementation of ASU 2011-05 related only to reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income until a later date to be determined after further consideration by the FASB.

The number of incremental shares from the assumed exercise of stock options is calculated by using the treasury stock method. As of September 30, 20122014 and 2011,2013, there were 836,200687,168 and 617,800824,834 options to purchase common stock outstanding, respectively. The average outstanding diluted shares calculation excludes options with an exercise price that exceeds the average market price of shares during the period. For fiscal yearyears 2014, 2013 and 2012, 55,666, 445,472, and 806,200 options to purchase common stock, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For fiscal year 2011, 184,300 options
5. Unbilled Receivables:
Unbilled receivables principally represent sales recorded under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting that have not been billed to purchase common stockcustomers in accordance with applicable contract terms. Unbilled receivables, net of progress payments and recorded an impairment for unbilled receivables of $3.7 million related to the Delta contract, were excluded from$7.4 million at September 30, 2014 (See Note 14.

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting for EDC revenue, requires estimates of profit margins for contracts be reviewed by the Company on a quarterly basis. If the initial estimates of revenues and costs under a contract are accurate, the percentage-of-completion method results in the profit margin being recorded evenly as revenue is recognized under the contract. Changes in these underlying estimates because of revisions in revenue and cost estimates or the exercise of contract options may result in profit margins being recognized unevenly over a contract because such changes are accounted for on a cumulative basis in the period in which the estimates are revised. Significant changes in estimates related to accounting for long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the revised estimates are made. Net cumulative catch-up adjustments resulting from changes in estimates reduced operating income by $1.5 million, $444,000 and $8,000 during fiscal years ended September 30, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

At September 30, 2012,2014, the Company had state net operating losses ("NOL")NOL carryforwards of $21.1$21.2 million, which begin to expire in varying amounts after the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. In addition, the Company has federal R&D Tax Credit carryforwards of approximately $646,000,$396,000, which begin to expire in varying amounts after fiscal year ending September 30, 2028,2029, and state R&D Tax Credit carryforwards of $208,000 (net of federal impact), which begin to expire in varying amounts after the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by valuation allowances if, based on the consideration of all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Significant weight is given to evidence that can be verified objectively, and significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowances recorded against net deferred tax assets. The Company evaluates deferred income taxes on a quarterly basis to determine if valuation allowances are required by considering available evidence, including historical and projected taxable income and tax planning strategies which are both prudent and feasible. ASC Topic 740 "Income Taxes" requires the consideration of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets. Significant management judgment is required in determining any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.assets
At September 30, 2012,2014 and 2013, the Company considered all available evidence, including the recent history of income before income taxes, together with projections of profitability in future periods. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that the positive evidence, which relates primarily to the recent history of income before income taxes, and projections of future profits, was sufficient to conclude that it was appropriate to reverse the valuation allowances previously recorded against its net federal deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance decreased by $2.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2012 primarily because of the reversal of certain valuation allowances described above. The valuation allowance decreased by $48,000 for the year ended September 30, 2011 primarily because of net reversals of deductible temporary differences.
The current balance of the deferred tax valuation allowance relates principally to net operating losses ("NOL")NOLs of certain state taxing jurisdictions. InThe valuation allowance decreased by $3,000 and $16,000 for the eventyears ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively, primarily because of the partial reversal of state valuation allowances related to state NOLs and other deferred tax assets, based on forecasts of future taxable income. If the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize theseadditional state deferred tax assets in the future, it would make an adjustment would be made to the valuation allowance which would reduce the provision for income taxes. The Company will continue to maintain the balance of the valuation allowance until an appropriate level of profitability is sustained to warrant a conclusion that it is no longer more likely than not that a portion of these net deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods. There is currently no assurance of such future income before taxes. The Company believes that its estimate of future taxable income is inherently uncertain, and if its current or future operations generate losses, further adjustments to the valuation allowance are possible.

The total liabilities associated with the unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the Company'sCompany’s effective tax rate were $403,000, $491,000$526,000, $492,000 and $425,000$403,000 at September 30, 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, respectively. It is not anticipated that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 20122014 will change significantly over the next twelve months. The balance of unrecognized tax benefits as reflected in the table above at September 30, 2014 and 2013 are recorded on the balance sheet as a reduction to deferred tax assets, except for approximately $10,000 which is included in Other Liabilities at September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company'sCompany’s policy is to recognize interest accrued and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. The Company has accrued approximately $4,000 and $12,000$1,000 for the payment of interest, net of tax benefits, at September 30, 20122014 and 2011,2013, respectively. There is no accrual recorded for penalties.
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, 20112014, 2013 and 2010,2012, the Company recognized expense (benefit) of $(8,000), $4,000$0, $(3,000) and ($10,000)$(8,000), respectively, for interest (net of federal impact) within income tax expense.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. The Company'sCompany’s federal income tax returns for the fiscal years ended September 30, 20092011 and thereafter are open years subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"(“IRS”). The Company also files income tax returns in various state jurisdictions, as appropriate, with varying statutes of limitation. During fiscal year 2012, the IRS examined the Company'sCompany’s income tax return for the year ended September 30, 2010;2010, and no adjustments resulted from this examination. There are no state income tax examinations in process at this time.
On September 13, 2013, the U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS issued final regulations that address costs incurred in acquiring, producing, or improving tangible property (the “tangible property regulations”). The tangible property regulations are generally effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014, and may be adoptedin earlier years. The tangible property regulations will require the Company to make additional tax accounting method changes as of October 1, 2014; however, management does not anticipate the impact of these changes to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, its consolidated statements of income, or both.

If any Award is forfeited, or if any Optionoption terminates, expires or lapses without being exercised, the related shares of common stock subject to such Award will again be available for future grant. Any shares tendered by a participant in payment of the exercise price of an Optionoption or the tax liability with respect to an Award (including, in any case, shares withheld from any such Award) will not be available for future grant under the 2009 Plan. If there is any change in the Company'sCompany’s corporate capitalization, the Compensation Committee must proportionately and equitably adjust the number and kind of shares of common stock which may be issued in connection with future Awards, the number and type of shares of common stock covered by Awards then outstanding under the 2009 Plan, the number and type of shares of common stock available under the 2009 Plan, the exercise or grant price of any Award, or if deemed appropriate, make provision for a cash payment with respect to any outstanding Award, provided that no adjustment may be made that would adversely affect the status of any Award that is intended to be a performance-based Award under Section 162(m) of the Code, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. In addition, the Compensation Committee may make adjustments in the terms and conditions of any Awards, including any performance goals, in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events affecting the Company or any subsidiary, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, provided that no adjustment may be made that would adversely affect the status of any Award that is intended to be a performance-based Award under Section 162(m) of the Code, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee.

Options are exercisable over a maximum term of ten years from date of grant and vest typically vest over periods of three to five years from the grant date. The expected term of options represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding and is based on historical experience and the expected turnover rate of the employees receiving the options. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company'sCompany’s stock. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasuries with constant maturities consistent with the expected life of the options in effect at the time of grant.
