These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2008 results included herein have been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. Note 2 Revenue Recognition - Percentage-of-Completion - ITATS - ------ ------------------------------------------------------ Due to the unique nature of the ITATS program, wherein a significant portion of this contract will not be delivered for over a year, revenues under this contract are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis, which recognizes sales and profit as they are earned, rather than at the time of shipment. Revenues and profits are estimated using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where revenues are recognized and profits recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimate of total costs at completion. The ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimate of total costs at completion is applied to the contract value to determine the revenues and profits. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or estimated costs at completion are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized by recording adjustments in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of the changes on current and prior periods. The Company also receives progress billings on this program, which is a funding mechanism by the government to assist contractors on long-term contracts prior to delivery. (See

TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP. -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) ---------------------------------------------------------------- (Unaudited) Note 76 Stock Options - ------ ------------- Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), utilizing the modified prospective method. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of SFAS 123R apply to all awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four years. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), operations was charged $14,205$17,705 and $11,162$12,220 for three months ended December 31,June 30, 2009 and 2008, and 2007, respectively, and $38,971 and $27,654 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of each option using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 1.07%2.09% to 3.16%2.74%, volatility at 37.67%42.09% to 40.35%43.06%, and an expected life of 5 years for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2008;June 30, 2009; expected dividend yield of 0.0%, risk-free interest rate of 2.91%2.56% to 5%3.16%, volatility at 43.25%38.63% to 56.94%39.14%, and an expected life of 5 years for the ninethree months ended December 31, 2007.June 30, 2008. The Company estimates forfeiture rate based on historical data. Based on an analysis of historical information, the Company has applied a forfeiture rate of 15% for both periods.. Note 87 Segment Information - ------ ------------------- As a result of the classification of its marine systems division as discontinued operations, in accordance with FAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related information", the Company determined it has two reportable segments for continuing operations - avionics government and avionics commercial. There are no inter-segment revenues. The Company is organized primarily on the basis of its avionics products. The avionics government segment consists primarily of the design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments and militaries either directly or through distributors. The avionics commercial segment consists of design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to domestic and foreign airlines, directly or through commercial distributors, and to general aviation repair and maintenance shops. The Company develops and designs test equipment for the avionics industry and as such, the Company's products and designs cross segments. Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on gross margin. The Company's general and administrative costs and sales and marketing expenses are not segment specific. As a result, all operating expenses are not managed on a segment basis. Net interest includes expenses on debt and income earned on cash balances. Segment assets include accounts receivable unbilled government receivables and inventories.work-in-process inventory. Asset information, other than accounts receivable unbilled government receivables and inventories,work-in-process inventory, is not reported, since the Company does not produce such information internally.

Note 10 Stock Options - ------- ------------- During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, stock options for 8,000 shares were exercised for total proceeds of $18,950. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, stock options for 28,000 shares were exercised for total proceeds of $64,730. Note 11 Fair Value Measurements - ------------- ----------------------- On April 1, 2008,September 2006, the Company adoptedFASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157which defines fair value, providesestablishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157 were effective April 1, 2008. The FASB has also issued Staff Position (FSP) SFAS 157-2 (FSP No. 157-2), which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statement disclosure requirements.statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. As defined in SFAS 157's157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation techniques aretechnique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on observable and unobservablethe observability of those inputs. Observable inputs reflect readily obtainable data from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. SFAS 157 classifies theseestablishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs intoused to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the following hierarchy: Level 1 Inputs- Quotedhighest priority to unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 Inputs- Quoted pricesmarkets for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Level 3 Inputs- Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers. At December 31, 2008, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities that required(level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value reporting.hierarchy defined by SFAS 157 are as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities. Level 2 - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars. Level 3 - Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses reflected in the consolidated balance sheets are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the shot-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company's short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of its fair value as borrowings under the Company's credit facility have variable rates that reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt. As of June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that would be subject to the disclosure provisions of SFAS 157. 8

As a result, the consolidated financial statements present the marine systems division as a discontinued operation. The Company wrote-off fixed assets of approximately $77,000 and inventories of approximately $151,000 in 2008. The Company's decision to discontinue its marine operations was based primarily on the historical losses sustained and management's intent to focus on its avionics business The following tables reflects sales, costs and expenses, and loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Three Months Three Months ------------ ------------ Ended Ended ----- ----- June 30, 2009 June 30, 2008 ------------- ------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Discontinued Operations: ------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Sales $ 16,444 $ 81,506 --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Costs and expenses 17,960 44,170 -------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Income (loss) from operations of discontinued operations (1,516) 37,336 --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Income tax provision (benefit) (606) 14,916 -------- -------- --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Net income (loss) from discontinued operations $ (910) $ 22,420 ======== ======== --------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------- Note 11 Reclassifications - ------- ----------------- Certain prior year and period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Note 12 Litigation - ------- ---------- On March 24, 2009, Aeroflex Wichita, Inc. ("Aeroflex") filed a petition against the Company and two of its employees in the District Court, Sedgwick County, Kansas, Case No. 09 CV 1141 (the "Aeroflex Action"), alleging that the Company and its two employees misappropriated Aeroflex's proprietary technology in connection with the Company winning a substantial contract from the U.S. Army (the "Award"), to develop new Mode-5 radar test sets and kits to upgrade the existing TS-4530 radar test sets to Mode 5. Aeroflex's petition alleges that in connection with the award, the Company and its named employees misappropriated Aeroflex's trade secrets; tortiously interfered with its business relationship; conspired to harm Aeroflex and tortiously interfered with its contract and seeks injunctive relief and damages. The gravamen of all the claims in the Aeroflex Action is that the Company misappropriated and used Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award. 9
TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP. -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) ---------------------------------------------------------------- (Unaudited) Note 12 Litigation (continued) - ------- ---------------------- In February 2009, subsequent to the Award to the Company, Aeroflex filed a protest of the Award with the Government Accounting Office ("GAO"). In its protest, Aeroflex alleged, inter alia, that the Company used Aeroflex's proprietary technology in order to win the Award, the same material allegations as were later alleged in the Aeroflex Action. On or about March 17, 2009, the Army Contracts Attorney and the Army Contracting Officer each filed a statement with the GAO, expressly rejecting Aeroflex's allegations that the Company used or infringed Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award, and concluding that the Company had used only its own proprietary technology. On April 6, 2009, Aeroflex withdrew its protest. The Aeroflex civil claim is currently in the jurisdiction phase. Based, among other things, on Tel's knowledge of the technology involved and the Army's detailed and emphatic refutation of Aeroflex's allegations, Tel believes that Aeroflex's claims are without merit. However, Tel has incurred and anticipates that it will incur substantial legal fees in connection with the litigation, and these costs will have an adverse effect on its results of operations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred approximately $111,000 of legal fees associated with the GAO protest and the civil litigation. Note 13 New Accounting Pronouncements - ------- ----------------------------- In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS No. 159"). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses shall be reported on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In December 2007, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No 141(R), "Business Combinations." This statement provides new accounting guidance and disclosure requirements for business combinations. SFAS No 141(R) is effective for business combinations which occur in the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No 141 (R)141(R) will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements ("SFAS 160"). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a significant impact on itsthe Company's consolidated financial statements or financial position, or results of operations.

SFAS 161 requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation and requires quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts and gains and losses on derivative instruments. It also requires disclosures about credit-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application encouraged.2008. SFAS 161 encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. The adoptionCompany adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. The implementation of SFAS 161 isthis standard did not expected to have a material impact on the disclosures related to the Company's consolidated financial statements. - 9 -In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. This FSP amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion 10 TEL-INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS CORP. -------------------------------- NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) ---------------------------------------------------------------- (Unaudited) ----------- Note 1213 New Accounting Pronouncements (continued) - ------- ----------------------------------------- No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 were effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company made the disclosures required by this statement. In May 2008,April 2009, the FASB issued SFASFSP FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. This FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement No. 162, "Hierarchy157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" (SFAS 162).activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. This statementFSP also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is intended to improve financial reporting by identifyingnot orderly. This FSP emphasizes that even if there has been a consistent framework,significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with GAAP. This statement will be effective 60 days following the Securitiesliability and Exchange Commission's approvalregardless of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendmentvaluation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairlysell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company believes that SFAS 162 will have no effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements. In April 2008,an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the FASB issued FASB Staff Position ("FSP") Financial Accounting Standard 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets ("measurement date under current market conditions.

The Company's decision to discontinue its marine operations was based primarily on the historical losses sustained and management's intent to focus on its avionics business The Company wrote-off fixed assets of approximately $77,000 and inventories of approximately $151,000 in 2008. The Company continues to sell and service these products while sales options for the division are explored. As a result, all results for this operation are recorded separately as results from discontinued operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------- Forward Looking Statements - -------------------------- A number of the statements made by the Company in this report may be regarded as "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include, among others, statements concerning the Company's outlook, pricing trends and forces within the industry, the completion dates of capital projects, expected sales growth, cost reduction strategies and their results, long-term goals of the Company and other statements of expectations, beliefs, including statements regarding litigation, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. All predictions as to future results contain a measure of uncertainty and accordingly, actual results could differ materially. Among the factors that could cause a difference are: changes in the general economy; changes in demand for the Company's products or in the cost and availability of its raw materials; the actions of its competitors; the success of itsour customers; technological change; changes in employee relations; government regulations; litigation, including its inherent uncertainty; difficulties in plant operations and materials; transportation, environmental matters; and other unforeseen circumstances. A number of these factors are discussed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Critical Accounting Policies - ---------------------------- In preparing ourthe financial statements in accordance with generally accepted principles, and accounting for the underlying transactions and balances, we are required to makes estimates and judgments which affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the notes and we apply ourCompany applies its accounting policies as disclosed in Note 2 of our Notes to Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.10-K. The Company's accounting policies that require a higher degree of judgment and complexity used in the preparation of financial statements include: Revenue recognition - revenues are recognized at the time of shipment to, or acceptance by customer provided title and risk of loss areis transferred to the customer. Provisions, when appropriate, are made where the right to return exists. Revenues on repairs and calibrations are recognized at the time the repaired or calibrated unit is shipped, as it is at thisthe time that the work is completed. Due to the unique nature of the ITATS program wherein a significant portion of this contract will not be delivered for over a year, revenues under this contract are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis, which recognizes sales and profit as they are earned, rather than at the time of shipment. Revenues and profits are estimated using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where revenues are recognized and profits recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to date to our estimate of total costs at completion. The ratio of costs incurred to our estimate of total costs at completion is applied to the contract value to determine the revenues and profits. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or estimated costs at completion are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized by recording adjustments in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of the changes on current and prior periods. The Company also receives progress billings on this program, which is a funding mechanism by the government to assist contractors on long-term contracts prior to delivery. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as revenue, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. - 12 - Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued) --------------------------------------------------------- Critical Accounting Policies (continued) - ---------------------------------------- Inventory reserves - inventory reserves or write-downs (primarily for purchased parts) are estimated for excess, slow-moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value. These estimates are based on current assessments about future demands, market conditions and related management initiatives. While reserves have historically been within expectation, ifIf market conditions and actual demands are less favorable than those projected by management, additional reserves or inventory write-downs may be required.required Accounts receivable - the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based on customer payment and current credit worthiness, as determined by review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors credit ofcredits and payments from its customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based on its historical experience and any specific customer issues that have been identified. For the year ended March 31, 2009 approximately 67% of the Company's sales were to the U.S. Government. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectation and the provision established, the Company cannot guarantee that thisit will continue.continue to receive positive results. Warranty reserves - warranty reserves are based upon historical rates and specific items that are identifiable and can be estimated at time of sale. While warranty costs have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, future warranty costs could be in excess of the Company's warranty reserves. A significant increase in these costs could adversely affect the Company's operating results for the period and the periods these additional costs materialize. Warranty reserves are adjusted from time to time when actual warranty claim experience differs from estimates. Income taxes - deferred tax assets arise from a variety of sources, the most significant being: a) tax losses that can be carried forward to be utilized against profits in future years; b) expenses recognized in the books but disallowed in the tax return until the associated cash flow occurs; and c) valuation changes of assets which need to be tax effected for book purposes but are taxable only when the valuation change is realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when such differences are expected to reverse. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced, if necessary, by a valuation allowance for any tax benefit which is not more likely than not to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, future taxable income is estimated, considering the realization of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can also be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event it wasis determined that the Company would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made. In its evaluation of a valuation allowance the Company takes into account existing contracts and backlog, and the probability that options under these contract awards will be exercised as well as sales of existing products. The Company prepares profit projections based on the revenue and expenses forecast to determine that such revenues will produce sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets. -assets 13 - Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued) --------------------------------------------------------- General - ------- Management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition is intended to assist the reader in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the results of operations and financial position of the Company.Company together with its subsidiary. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying financial notes in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.2009. The Company's avionics business is conducted in the Government, Commercial and General aviation markets (see Note 87 of Notes to Financial Statements for segment financial information). In January 2004, the Company completed its acquisition of ITI, a company selling products to the marine industry, and ITI's financial statements were consolidated with the Company's financial statements until the Company considered it a discontinued operation as of March 31, 2008 (see2009 see Note 1310 to Financial Statements). Results of Operations - --------------------- Overview - -------- Tel's financial resultsAs discussed in our Form 10-K for the nine monthsyear ended December 31, 2008 significantly improved with revenues, profits and working capital improving over last year's comparable period. Shareholders' equity also increased significantly from March 31, 2008. The current quarter showed a slight dip2009, because of the continuing decline in commercial sales, the difficult economic environment, delays in several major anticipated government orders, the increased new product engineering costs, and the increased legal and professional fees, the Company expected that sales and a modest profitprofits in the first half of the current fiscal year would decline materially, until substantial production and delivery of the new products commence. However, the Company believes that the financial situation for the Company will improve in the second half of the current fiscal year and the Company expects to be profitable in the next fiscal year. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company's sales fell 35% as a result of shipments relatedcompared to the CRAFT program moving to the next quarter, but was an improvement over the loss in the comparablesame period last year. Revenuesyear, and the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations increased 16%before taxes of $679,000 as compared to $10.3 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 and pretax profits$34,291 in net income from continuing operations also increased to $706,666 as compared to a loss of $142,166 for the same periodbefore taxes in the prior fiscal year. Net incomeAs discussed in our Form 10-K for the nine monthsyear ended DecemberMarch 31, 2008 increased2009, the current fiscal year will be a challenge as a result of: (1) an increase in product shipments; (2) a negotiated billing to the governmentcommercial avionics market shows no signs of improvement and military sales have been impacted by delays in the amountreceipt of $406,000several expected large orders, as well as some delay in completion of our existing programs. Moreover, the Company continues to make substantial engineering investments in the AN/USM-708 and the recently awarded TS-4530A programs. TEL has also experienced delays on two of its major programs (AN/USM-708/ and AN/ARM-206) that have collectively increased development cost and time and delayed production shipments. At this time, it appears that sales will remain at depressed levels for additional work previously performedthe first half of this fiscal year with a substantial operating loss. Starting in the third quarter of this fiscal year, revenues and expensed on the CRAFT program; (3) increased billings for revenues associated with the test and documentation phase of the CRAFT program; and (4)profitability are expected to increase indue to anticipated shipments of the T-47NHAN/APM-719 as a resultwell as the receipt of a contract withanticipated government orders which have been delayed. TEL currently has three major government contracts totaling over $80 million of potential orders, which it won competitively. Upon completion of our engineering development on these major programs, TEL has the U.S. Government. Sinceability to substantially increase the size and profitability of our business starting next fiscal year 2007, the Company has been awarded several large contracts, which required significant engineering. The Company has completed much of the engineering and began shipping some of the units (AN/APM-719) under the contract during the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Significant shipments should occur in subsequent years when the Company receives(which begins April 2010) as production orders for these units. However there can be no assurance that the U.S. Government will exercise all of its options under the contract. Despite an uncertain economic situation, which is adversely affecting the Company's commercial sales, the Company anticipates a profitable result for fiscal year 2009 primarily due to a strong increase and projected increases in military sales of its legacy products, and the recent commencement of deliveries of the AN/USM-708 and AN/APM-206 are expected to commence in volume. Production deliveries of TS-4530A are also expected to commence in volume later in calendar year 2010. This program has a maximum contract value of $44 million with $15 million of delivery orders already received. 14 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued) --------------------------------------------------------- Overview (continued) - -------------------- On July 28, 2009, Tel was notified by the AIMS Program Office that its AN/USM-719 Mode 5 test set. - 14 -set has been officially certified for Mode 5 system integration purposes. This is a major accomplishment as this represents the first Mode 5 flight-line test set certified by AIMS (the DoD Agency in charge of IFF system certification). This represents the culmination of a multi-million investment by the company in Mode 5 technology and will provide a significant competitive advantage in the years to come as the U.S. and our NATO allies migrate to this leading edge IFF technology. To our knowledge, Tel is the only company with AIMS certified Mode 5 flight-line test sets. At June 30, 2009 the Company's backlog stood at approximately $14.7 million, as compared to approximately $11.4 million at June 30, 2008. The backlog at June 30, 2009 includes only the amount of currently exercised delivery orders on open IDIQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contracts, and is expected to materially increase when the volume production orders for the two large Navy contracts are received. Historically, the Company obtains a substantial volume of orders which are required to be filled in less than twelve months, and, therefore, these anticipated orders are not reflected in the backlog. The Company has received approximately $8.83 million in orders related to the TS-4530A program, and this amount is included in the backlog at June 30, 2009. In July 2009, the Company received an additional delivery order of approximately $6 million related to the TS-4530 program. On March 24, 2009, Aeroflex Wichita, Inc. ("Aeroflex") filed a civil claim against the Company and two of its employees in the District Court, Sedgwick County, Kansas, Case No. 09 CV 1141 (the "Aeroflex Action"), alleging that the Company and its two employees misappropriated Aeroflex's proprietary technology in connection with TEL winning the Army TS-4530A contract. Many of these same claims were included in Aeroflex's previous, formal Protest of the Contract award which it filed with the U.S. Government Accounting Office ("GAO"). On or about March 17, 2009, the Army Contracts Attorney and the Army Contracting Officer each filed a statement with the GAO, expressly rejecting Aeroflex's allegations that the Company used or infringed Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award, and concluding that the Company had used only its own proprietary technology. On April 6, 2009, Aeroflex withdrew its GAO Protest, but continued the civil litigation. The Aeroflex civil claim is currently in the jurisdiction phase. While TEL is confident about the ultimate successful outcome of the litigation, the Company anticipates that it will incur legal fees in connection with the litigation, and these costs will have an adverse effect on its results of operations for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2010. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company incurred legal fees of approximately $110,000 in connection with the GAO protest and this litigation. Given the weak first quarter results, Tel increased it borrowing on its credit facility by $150,000 in the quarter to $600,000 and had approximately $485,000 of available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2009. This credit line is on a year-to-year basis with a September 30, 2009 renewal date. Given first quarter loss and the expected loss in the second quarter as well as the sharp expansion in projected business starting this fall, the Company is planning to raise a minimum of $500,000 of equity funding in the next few months through a combination of Director stock option exercises and new share purchases. At this time, the Company has received informal commitments from several Directors to purchase between 90,000 and 100,000 shares of newly issued company stock at a price to be determined by a Special Committee of Directors who would not purchase shares. Other shareholders will be provided the opportunity to participate on the same terms and conditions subject to a minimum share purchase. Further information about the financing program will be provided when the details are finalized. 15 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued) --------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations (continued) - --------------------------------- Overview (continued)Sales - -------------------- TIC was previously awarded----- For the US Navy AN/USM-708 (CRAFT) contract for a multi-functional flight-line test set. This unit combines the function of five different test sets into one and is the only Mode 5 IFF ("Identification, Friend, or Foe"first quarter ended June 30, 2009, total sales decreased $1,226,220 (34.5%) flight-line test unit now under government contract. The Navy subsequently amended the contract to provide for an IFF only variant called the AN/USM-719 and increased the total IDIQ (Indefinite Quantity - Indefinite Delivery) order quantity from 750$2,325,755 as compared to 1,200 units. These IDIQ options$3,551,975 for the AN/USM-708 and 719 units, if exercised, would add upsame quarter in the prior year. Avionics Government sales decreased $1,069,356 (36.1%) to $23 million$1,891,240 for the period as compared to $2,960,596 for the Company's backlog and projected revenues. To date,same period last year. The decrease in Avionics Government sales is primarily attributed to: a decrease in sales associated with the Company has receivedITATS, which are recognized on a delivery order for 83 AN/USM-719 units and has shipped 23 units. The AN/USM-708 engineering hardware design has been largely completedpercentage of completion as the initial phase of the programs nears completion as well a decrease in shipments of the T-30D, T-47N, and the fabrication of 15 pilot production units is expected to take place during calendar year 2009. These units are currently scheduled to undergo design validation testing and Navy TECHEVALT-47G, which were primarily associated with orders that were awarded in the next six months with production currently scheduledprevious year. Government sales have been impacted by delays in the 2010 calendar year. In July 2006 the Company was awarded a second major U.S. Navy contract for an Intermediate Level TACAN Test Set AN/APM-206 (ITATS). This contract has options for up to 180 units with a total valuereceipt of over $12 million; the initial work authorization was $4.4 million. The Company has been working with an engineering sub-contractor on this project and this program has entailed substantially lessseveral expected large orders. These decreases were partially offset by higher sales of the Company's engineering effort than the AN/USM-708. The design has now been completed and the product should begin the Navy TECHEVAL process this summer. Given the unique nature of the design of the AN/USM-708 and the AN/APM-206, these units could also generate significant sales to other military customers, both domestically and overseas, and the Company is working on other products derived from them. In February 2009, the Company was awarded a five year firm fixed price indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command with a maximum dollar value of $44,046,886, depending on the number of units purchased. This contract entails production of at least 20 Mode 5 conversion kits for the Army's TS-4530 IFF test set and 20 new Mode 5 test sets. The IDIQ portion of the contract will entail the production quantity of -0- to 2,980 Mode 5 conversion kits and a quantity of -0- to 1,980 new production test sets. These Mode 5 conversion kits and new IFF test sets will incorporate Tel's proprietary electronics and IFF technology in addition to EHS test functionality. The systems engineering, design and integration, fabrication, testing, and associated logistics effort will take place in Carlstadt, N.J. As revenues and profits have increased this year, cash and working capital have improved from March 31, 2008. The Company's bank loan has also been extended until September 2009. The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity, borrowing resources and backlog to fund operating plans for the next 12 months, and until substantial deliveries of its new units commence. Net Sales - --------- Total netAPM-719. Commercial sales decreased $172,206 (5.6%$156,864 (26.5%) to $2,915,428$434,515 for the three months ended December 31, 2008June 30, 2009 as compared to $591,379 in the same period in the prior year As a result of the continued weakness in the commercial market. Gross Margin - ------------ Gross margin decreased $420,840 (28.3%) to $1,068,089 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. Total net sales increased $1,433,759 (16.1%) to $10,322,424 nine months ended December 31, 2008June 30, 2009 as compared to $1,488,929 for the same periods in the prior fiscal year. - 15 - Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE - ------- ------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (Continued) --------------------------------------------------------- Results of Operations (continued) - --------------------------------- Net Sales (continued) - --------------------- Avionics government sales increased $58,202 (2.4%) to $2,526,036 and $2,330,514 (35.8%) to $8,843,166, respectively, for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year. The increase in avionics government sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 is primarily attributed to: increased shipments of the T-47N as a result of a large contract from the U.S. Army, the T-76, and the AN/APM-719 (CRAFT variant) partially offset by lower revenues associated with the ITATS programs and reduced revenues on other military/government products. For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 Avionics government sales increased primarily as a result of; increased shipments of the T-30D as a result of a large contract from the U.S. Army, a negotiated billing to the government in the amount of $406,000 for additional work previously performed and expensed on the CRAFT program:, increased billings for revenues associated with the test and documentation phase of the CRAFT program, the shipment of T-47G test sets to the Canadian Air Force (through our distributor in Canada) and shipments of the AN/APM-719 (Craft variant) and the Company's new TR-420, as well as increases in other legacy products. These increases were partially offset by lower shipments of the T-30CM and AN/APM-480 and lower revenues associated with the ITATS program. Avionics commercial sales decreased $231,108 (37.2%) to $389,392 and $896,755 (37.7%) to $1,479,358, respectively, for the same periods. This decrease is mostly attributed to decreases in sales of the TR-220 Multi-Function Test set and the T-36C, as a result of the continued weak financial condition of the commercial airline industry. Revenues associated with repairs and calibrations increased $7,002 (1%) to $710,686 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Gross Margin - ------------ Gross margin dollars increased $100,538 (7.6%) to $1,425,267 and $1,284,443 (34%) to $5,053,683 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2008, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the increase in gross margin is attributed to the increasedecrease in volume and higher gross profit percentage resulting from a change in the sales mix. The increase in gross profit dollars and percentage for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 is also attributed to a negotiated billing to the government in the amount of $406,000 for additional work previously performed and expensed on the CRAFT program and higher profitability on the revenues associated with the test and documentation phase of the CRAFT program.volume.

The backlog at June 30, 2009 includes only the amount of currently exercised delivery orders on open IDIQ (indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity) contracts, and is expected to materially increase when the volume production orders for the two large Navy contracts are received. Historically, the Company obtains a substantial volume of orders which are required to be filled in less than twelve months, and, therefore, these anticipated orders are not reflected in the backlog. The Company has received approximately $8.83 million in orders related to the TS-4530A program, and this amount is included in the backlog at June 30, 2009. In addition, in July 2009 the Company received an additional $6 million delivery order from the Army, bringing the total amount of orders received to approximately $15 million. Given the weak first quarter results, Tel increased it borrowing on its credit facility by $150,000 in the quarter to $600,000 and had an outstanding loan balanceapproximately $485,000 of $450,000available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2009. This credit line is on which it currently pays 3.75% interest (1/2% above the bank's prime rate). The line of credit is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The credit agreement expiresa year-to-year basis with a September 30, 2009 renewal date.
