NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
----------------------------------------------------
Note 1 Basis of Presentation
- ------ ---------------------
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp, and its marine systems subsidiary whose
operations are being accounted for as a discontinued operation, as of December
31, 2008, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended December
31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, and statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007. 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

to customers. As revenues are recognized, performance-based payments and
progress payments are charged as an offset to the related receivables balance.

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.

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. All long-lived assets are
located in the U.S.

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.

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.

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 Discontinued Operations
- ------- -----------------------
As of March 2008, the Board of Directors approved categorizing the Company's
marine systems division as a discontinued operation. 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.
The following tables reflect sales, costs and expenses, and income (loss) from
discontinued operations, net of taxes for the three and nine months ended

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE

- -------------------------------------------
At December 31, 2008June 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 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. Given first quarter
loss and the agreement now
