Filing a combined report which contains full financial information of both Aeroflex Holding and its wholly owned subsidiary Aeroflex is both economical and efficient, as Aeroflex Holding is a holding company which does not conduct business operations on its own - all business operations are conducted by Aeroflex and its consolidated subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows presented for all periods represent those of Aeroflex and its subsidiaries, except for activity related to Aeroflex Holding’s equity and earnings per share. Aeroflex Holding’s only asset is its investment in Aeroflex. As such, other than any discussions of liquidity and capital resources (including indebtedness and cash flows), equity and earnings per share, controls and procedures, unregistered sales of equity securities, use of proceeds and any material differences between Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex which would require separate disclosures, all information presented in this quarterly report will be combined and pertain to both Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex.

We design, engineerStock Split, Initial Public Offering and manufacture microelectronicsUse of Proceeds
This quarterly report for the period ended December 31, 2010 is a combined quarterly report being separately filed by two registrants: Aeroflex Holding Corp. (“Aeroflex Holding”) and test solutionAeroflex Incorporated (“Aeroflex”), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding. Unless the context provides otherwise, references to “we,” “our,” “the Company,” or “us” refer collectively to Aeroflex Holding and measurement equipment thatits subsidiary, Aeroflex, including Aeroflex’s consolidated subsidiaries.
Filing a combined report which contains full financial information of both Aeroflex Holding and its wholly owned subsidiary Aeroflex is both economical and efficient, as Aeroflex Holding is a holding company which does not conduct business operations on its own - all business operations are sold primarilyconducted by Aeroflex and its consolidated subsidiaries. All assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows presented for all periods represent those of Aeroflex and its subsidiaries, except for activity related to Aeroflex Holding’s equity and earnings per share. Aeroflex Holding’s only asset is its investment in Aeroflex. As such, other than any discussions of liquidity and capital resources (including indebtedness and cash flows), equity and earnings per share, controls and procedures, unregistered sales of equity securities, use of proceeds and any material differences between Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex which would require separate disclosures, all information presented in this quarterly report will be combined and pertain to both Aeroflex Holding and Aeroflex.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to (i) the term “Sponsors” refers collectively to affiliates of or funds managed by The Veritas Capital Fund III, L.P., Golden Gate Private Equity, Inc., and GS Direct, LLC, which indirectly control Aeroflex Holding, and (ii) “fiscal year” refers to the broadband communications, aerospacetwelve months ended June 30 of the applicable year.

Aeroflex Holding’s board of directors authorized an increase of Aeroflex Holding’s authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 and defense markets. Our fiscal year endsa 65,000,000 for 1 common stock split, both of which became effective on June 30.November 18, 2010. Aeroflex Holding’s stockholders’ equity has been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split for all periods presented by reclassifying the par value of the additional shares issued in connection with the split from additional paid-in capital to common stock. In addition, all share numbers and per share amounts in Aeroflex Holding’s consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to give effect to the stock split.
On November 19, 2010, Aeroflex Holding consummated an initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock in which it sold 19,789,180 shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share, at a price of $13.50 per share.

Aeroflex Holding used the net proceeds of the IPO to make a capital contribution to Aeroflex. In connection with the IPO, Aeroflex:
| · | Repurchased an aggregate of $186.6 million of its senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated unsecured term loans and paid the related expenses; |
| · | Paid a $16.9 million termination fee to affiliates of the Sponsors to terminate the advisory agreement with them, which, including the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense (“Termination Fee”); and |

The June 30, 20092010 balance sheet information has been derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all information or disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements.
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in Aeroflex Holding’s amended registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the Company’s Annual ReportSEC on November 9, 2010 (“Aeroflex Holding’s Registration Statement”) and in Aeroflex’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (the “Fiscal 20092010 (”Aeroflex’s Fiscal 2010 Form 10-K”).

Aeroflex has 1,000 shares of common stock outstanding at a par value of $.10 per share, all of which are held by Aeroflex Holding, and Aeroflex received a capital contribution of $244.1 million from Aeroflex Holding from the net proceeds of the IPO.

We recognize revenue, net of trade discounts and allowances, when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery of the product has occurred or the services have been performed, (3) the selling price is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Our product revenue is generated predominantly from the sales of various types of microelectronic products and test and measurement equipment. For arrangements other than certain long-term contracts, revenue (including shipping and handling fees) is recognized when products are shipped and title has passed to the customer. If title does not pass until the product reaches the customer’s delivery site, recognition of the revenue is deferred until that time. Certain of our sales are to distributors, which have a right to return some portion of product within eighteen months of sale. We recognize revenue on these sales at the time of shipment to the distributor, as the returns under these arrangements have historically been insignificant and can be reasonably estimated. A provision for such estimated returns is recorded at the time revenues are recognized. For transactions that include customer-specified acceptance criteria, including those where acceptance is required upon achievement of performance milestones, revenue is recognized after the acceptance criteria have been met.
Reclassifications
Long-term contracts are accounted for by determining estimated contract profit rates and use of the percentage-of-completion method to recognize revenues and associated costs as work progresses. We measure the extent of progress toward completion generally based upon one of the following methods (based upon an assessment of which method most closely alignsCertain reclassifications have been made to the underlying earnings process): (i)fiscal 2010 consolidated financial statements to conform to the units-of-delivery method, (ii) the cost-to-cost method (using the ratio of contract costs incurred as a percentage of total estimated costs at contract completion based upon engineering and production estimates), or (iii) the achievement of contractual milestones. Provisions for anticipated losses or revisions in estimated profits on contracts-in-process are recorded in the period in which such anticipated losses or revisions become evident.fiscal 2011 presentation.
Where an arrangement includes only a software license, revenue is recognized when the software is delivered and title has been transferred to the customer or, in the case of electronic delivery of software, when the customer is given access to the licensed software programs. We also evaluate whether persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection of the receivable is probable, the fee is fixed or determinable and whether any other undelivered elements of the arrangement exist for which a portion of the total fee would be allocated based on vendor-specific objective evidence of the fair value of the undelivered element. When a customer purchases software together with post contract support, we allocate a portion of the fee to the post contract support for its fair value based on the contractual renewal rate. Post contract support fees are deferred in Advance Payments by Customers and Deferred Revenue in the consolidated balance sheets, and recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the related contract.
Service revenue is derived from extended warranty, customer support and training. Service revenue is deferred and recognized over the contractual term or as services are rendered and accepted by the customer. For example, customer support contracts are recognized ratably over the contractual term, while training revenue is recognized as the training is provided to the customer. In addition, the four revenue recognition criteria described above must be met before service revenue is recognized.
We use vendor-specific objective evidence of selling price, verifiable objective evidence of selling price, such as third party selling prices, or estimated selling price, in that order, to allocate revenue to elements in multiple element arrangements. Revenue is recognized on only those elements that meet the four criteria described above.
Effective July 1, 2009, we no longer use the residual method to determine the portion of the arrangement consideration to allocate to undelivered elements of a multiple element arrangement.
At December 31, 2009, we have $32.5 million in Advance Payments by Customers and Deferred Revenue, which is comprised of $15.3 million of customer advance payments primarily for the purchase of materials, $7.4 million of deferred service and software support revenue, $3.6 million of deferred warranty revenue and $6.2 million of revenue deferred due to software arrangements for which there is no vendor specific objective evidence of fair value of the undelivered elements of the arrangements, contingent revenue, billings for which the related product has not been delivered or product delivered to a customer that has not been accepted or is incomplete. We generally sell non-software service and extended warranty contracts on a standalone basis. The amount of deferred revenue at December 31, 2009 and revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 derived from non-software multiple element arrangements was insignificant.
The adoption on July 1, 2009 of the guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in Accounting Standard Updates 2009-13 and 2009-14 did not have a material impact on our pattern or timing of revenue recognition and is not expected to have a material impact on revenues in future periods. We have one test equipment product line, which includes software that is more than incidental to the hardware component that, prior to July 1, 2009, was accounted for as a software product for revenue recognition purposes. Effective July 1, 2009, the new revenue recognition guidance provides that products such as these that contain software which is essential to overall product functionality are outside the scope of software revenue recognition guidance and are now accounted for under new rules pertaining to revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Although this change had no impact on revenue recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009, if this product were delivered in a multiple element arrangement in the future, certain revenue recognition could be accelerated. We do not believe that this will result in a material impact on our revenues.
2. | Accounting Pronouncements |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On July 1, 2009, we adopted the authoritative implementation guidance issued by the FASB for fair value measurement for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
On July 1, 2009,2010, we adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on business combinations. The guidance retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (previously referred to as the purchase method of accounting) be used for all business combinations, but requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized and measured as a result of business combinations. It also requires the fair value of contingent consideration to be recordedFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) on the acquisition date, the capitalizationconsolidation of in-process research and development at fair value and the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. Adoption of thevariable interest entities. The new guidance which is effectiverequires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of control over such entities, and additional disclosures for acquisitions consummated by us after June 30, 2009, did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On July 1, 2009, we adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB for the determination of the useful life of intangible assets. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. This guidance also adds certain disclosures to those already prescribed. The guidance for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date. The disclosure requirements must also be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of the effective date.variable interests. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, we adopted the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This guidance explicitly recognizes the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Company has updated references to U.S. GAAP in its financial statements issued for the period ended December 31, 2009. The adoption did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that becomes effective for us commencing July 1, 2010. However, earlier adoption was permitted. Under the new guidance on sales arrangements that include software elements, tangible products that have software components that are essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition guidance. Additionally, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables that are outside the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance. Under the new guidance, when vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence for deliverables in an arrangement cannot be determined, a best estimate of the selling price is required to separate deliverables and allocate arrangement consideration and the use of the relative selling price method is required. The new guidance eliminated the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration to deliverables and includes new disclosure requirements on how the application of the relative selling price method affects the timing and amount of revenue recognition. We chose to early adopt such authoritative guidance on a prospective basis effective July 1, 2009 and, therefore, it has been applied to multiple deliverable revenue arrangements and arrangements for the sale of tangible products with software components entered into or materially modified on or after July 1, 2009. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance which requires that the non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries be presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity in the balance sheet, that the amount of consolidated net earnings attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest be separately presented in the statement of earnings, and that the amount of consolidated other comprehensive income attributable to the non-controlling interest be separately disclosed. The standard also requires gains or losses from the sale of stock of subsidiaries where control is maintained to be recognized as an equity transaction. The guidance was effective beginning with the first quarter of the fiscal year 2010 financial reporting. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, we did not apply the presentation or disclosure provisions to our one non-controlling interest as the effect on our financial statements was insignificant.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In January 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance to amend the disclosure requirements related to recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on the transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 (quoted prices in active market for identical assets or liabilities) and Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) of the fair value measurement hierarchy, including the reasons and the timing of the transfers. Additionally, the guidance requires a roll forward of activities on purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements on a gross basis of the assets and liabilities measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 fair value measurements). The guidance will become effective for us beginning withWe believe the third quarteradoption on July 1, 2011 of the fiscal year 2010 financial reporting, except forgross presentation of the disclosure on the roll forward activities for Level 3 fair value measurements, which will become effective for us beginning with the third quarter of the fiscal year 2011 financial reporting. The adoption of this new guidanceroll forward will not have a materialan impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Test Evolution Corporation
On October 1, 2007, we purchased 40% of the FASB issued authoritative guidance on the consolidationoutstanding stock of variable interest entities, which is effectiveTest Evolution Corporation, or TEC, for us beginning July 1, 2010. The new guidance requires revised evaluations of whether entities represent variable interest entities, ongoing assessments of$4.0 million. TEC, located in Massachusetts, develops and manufactures digital, analog and RF semiconductor automated test equipment. We determined that we have control over such entities, and additional disclosures for variable interests. We believe adoption of this new guidance will notcompany and have a material impact onconsolidated TEC’s assets and liabilities and results of operations, all of which were insignificant, into our financial statements.statements commencing October 1, 2007. On August 5, 2010, we invested another $2.0 million in TEC. At December 31, 2010, as a result of this and other capital transactions, our ownership interest is approximately 51%. The amounts attributable to the non-controlling interest in TEC’s equity and results of operations are not material to our consolidated financial statements and have been included in other long-term liabilities and other income (expense), respectively. TEC is included in our Test Solutions segment.
Radiation Assured Devices
On June 30, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Radiation Assured Devices, Inc., or RAD, for $14.0 million in cash, plus contingent payments equal to 50% of the acquired company’s EBITDA (as defined in the agreement) for the five year period of fiscal 2011 to fiscal 2015, provided certain thresholds are met. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of December 31, 2010 was $7.9 million, of which $1.4 million was reflected in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $6.5 million was reflected in other long-term liabilities. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2010 was $7.1 million and was reflected in other long-term liabilities and considered in the allocation of the purchase price. The $784,000 increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration was recorded in selling, general and administrative costs for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010. RAD, located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, uses commercial and specialty technologies to provide state of the art radiation engineering and qualification services, as well as to produce radiation hardened products for commercial and military spaceborne electronics. RAD is included in our Microelectronic Solutions segment.
Advanced Control Components
On August 31, 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Advanced Control Components, Inc., or ACC, for $19.2 million in cash, which was net of a preliminary working capital adjustment made at closing. The purchase price is subject to a further working capital adjustment, based on the amount by which the final adjusted net working capital at the date of closing is lower than the target set forth in the purchase agreement. We currently estimate an additional $764,000 deficiency in adjusted net working capital, reducing the purchase price to $18.4 million. ACC, located in Eatontown, New Jersey, designs, manufacturers and markets a wide range of radio frequency, or RF, and microwave products for the military, civilian radar, scientific and communications markets. ACC is included in our Microelectronic Solutions segment.
We allocated the purchase price based on the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as follows:

On a pro forma basis, had the ACC acquisition taken place as of the beginning of the periods presented, our results of operations for those periods would not have been materially affected.
Cash Paid for the Purchase of Businesses
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, we had net cash outlays of $23.6 million for the purchase of businesses, net of cash acquired. This was primarily comprised of $18.4 million for the purchase of ACC and $5.6 million of contingent consideration payments related to fiscal 2010 ($4.6 million for Gaisler Research AB, acquired on June 30, 2008 and $1.0 million for Airflyte Electronics Company, acquired on June 26, 2009), partially offset by refunds for working capital adjustments for prior year acquisitions.

We are consolidating part of our components operations by relocating a portion of our Whippany, New Jersey facility’s production to our Ann Arbor, Michigan facility and a portion to our Eatontown, New Jersey facility. In connection with this consolidation, we recorded a $4.9 million impairment charge based on the fair value of the Whippany, New Jersey facility we intend to sell.

We enter into interest rate swap derivatives to manage the effects of interest rate movements on portions of our debt. We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts, not designated as hedging instruments, to protect us from fluctuations in exchange rates.

Interest Rate Swap Cash-Flow Hedges
We enter into interest rate swap contracts with counterparties that are rated investment grade to manage the effects of interest rate movements on portions of our debt. Such contracts effectively fix the borrowing rates on floating rate debt to limit the exposure against the risk of rising rates. We do not enter into interest rate swap contracts for speculative purposes and we have entered into transactions with counterparties that are rated investment grade.purposes. Our interest rate swap contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2010, all of which were entered into in fiscal 2008 for an aggregate notional amount of $475$300.0 million, have varying maturities throughmature in February 2011.
Foreign Currency Contract Derivatives
Foreign currency contracts are used to protect us from fluctuations in exchange rates. We enter into foreign currency contracts, which are not designated as hedges. The change in fair value is included in other income (expense) as it occurs, within other income (expense).occurs. As of December 31, 2009,2010, we had $26.7$31.7 million of notional value foreign currency forward contracts maturing through January 29, 2010.31, 2011. Notional amounts do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company, but are used in the calculation of cash settlements under the contracts.
8. | Fair Value Measurements |
We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring the fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:
| Level 1: | Inputs based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date. |
| Level 2: | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| Level 3: | Inputs reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instruments’ valuation. |
The following table presents for each hierarchy level, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Non-Current Marketable Securities – Non-current marketable securities consistIn December 2010, $2.0 million of our auction rate securities that currently have no active market fromwere sold at par. In January 2011, the remaining $9.0 million of our auction rate securities were sold at an average of 92.4% of par. The resulting $688,000 realized loss, which approximated the other than temporary impairment at December 31, 2010, was recorded in the statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, our auction rate securities are classified as current marketable securities, since, as of the balance sheet date, we could obtain pricing.had firm offers for their sale and we had the intent to sell them. We have classified auction rate securities as Level 32, as their valuation requires substantial judgment and estimation of factors that are not currently observable in the market due to the lack of trading in the securities. To date, we have collected all interest payments on all of our auction rate securities when due. Furthermore, we have the intent and are able to hold these securities until the credit markets recover, or until their maturities, which range from 2029 through 2042, if necessary. However,is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, which considered, among other items, the collateral underlying the securities, the credit worthiness of the issuer, the timing of future cash flows and liquidity risks, at December 31, 2009 we have a $2.0 million valuation allowance against the auction rate securities.actual selling price.
As fair values have continued to be below cost, we have considered various factors in determining that at December 31, 2009 a credit loss did not exist and there was no requirement to recognize an other than temporary impairment charge, including the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been below the cost basis, the timely receipt of all interest payments, the rating of the security, the relatively low volatility of the security’s fair value, the current financial condition of the issuer and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
In July 2009, $1.0 million of our auction rate securities were redeemed by the issuer at par. In January 2010, an additional $4.0 million of our auction rate securities were redeemed by the issuer at 92% of par. The resulting $320,000 realized loss will be recorded in the statement of operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. The $4.0 million of auction rate securities redeemed in January 2010 are classified as non-current marketable securities as of December 31, 2009, as we were not aware at the balance sheet date that these auction rate securities would be redeemed.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts – The fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts were valueddetermined using a pricing model with all significant inputs based on observable market data such as measurement date spot and forward rates.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts – The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap contracts were based on valuations received from the counterparties and corroborated by measurement date equivalent swap rates.
9. | Long Term Debt and Credit Agreements |
All indebtedness has been incurred by Aeroflex; such indebtedness is reflected on the balance sheets of Aeroflex Holding by virtue of the principles of consolidation.
All of the net proceeds of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO were used to make a capital contribution to Aeroflex to enable it to, among other things, tender for a portion of its senior unsecured notes and offer to repurchase a portion of its senior subordinated unsecured term loans. In December 2010, Aeroflex repurchased approximately $32.2 million of its senior unsecured notes and $154.4 million of its senior subordinated unsecured term loans. This resulted in a $25.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is comprised of the following:
| · | an 11% premium paid on the debt repurchased, which amounted to $20.5 million; |
| · | the write-off of the related deferred financing costs of $4.0 million; and |
| · | professional fees of $614,000. |
On November 4, 2010, Aeroflex entered into an amendment of the credit agreement with the lenders of its senior secured credit facility, for which it paid a $3.3 million fee to the lenders which was recorded as deferred financing costs and $579,000 of other costs that were expensed as incurred, which allowed Aeroflex to, among other things:
| · | increase the amount of cash it can spend for acquisitions of businesses from $20 million per year and a $100 million aggregate amount, to $200 million in the aggregate (with no annual limit), from the effective date of the amendment to the credit facility maturity date, August 15, 2014; |
| · | pay certain fees to affiliates of our Sponsors upon the completion of the Aeroflex Holding IPO. These fees were paid on November 24, 2010, and consisted of the $2.5 million Transaction Fee for services directly attributable to the equity offering, which was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, and the $16.9 million Termination Fee. The Termination Fee, when combined with the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, amounted to an $18.1 million expense which was recorded in a separate line on the statement of operations entitled Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement; and |
| · | base its interest rate margin above LIBOR on a grid, with reference to its current credit rating. This increased the interest rate margin by 75 basis points for all tranches of debt within the secured credit facility. |

10. | Loss on Liquidation of Foreign Subsidiary |
In connection with the 2003 acquisition of one of our Wirelesswireless businesses in the U.K. in 2003,, we set up a foreign partnership to finance the acquisition. We invested $19.5 million in the partnership and the partnership advanced those funds to our foreign holding company in the form of a loan, the proceeds of which was used for the acquisition.
During the quartersix months ended September 30,December 31, 2009, the loan was fully repaid to the partnership, with interest, and we received a return of capital and dividends. The partnership ishas been substantially liquidated.
As a result of changes in foreign currency rates, there was a cumulative translation adjustment of $7.7 million remaining after substantially all of the assets have been returned to us and substantially all of the liabilities have been satisfied. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, this remaining cumulative translation adjustment has been expensed in the period during which the substantial liquidation of the partnership occurred and presented as a non-cash loss on liquidation of foreign subsidiary in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009. This loss iswas not deductible for income tax purposes.

The valuation allowance for non-current marketable securities is not adjusted for income taxes as it would create a capital loss carryforward upon realization for which we would record a valuation allowance against the related deferred tax asset.
Prior to fiscal 2009, the foreign currency translation adjustments were not adjusted for income taxesAlthough as they related to indefinite investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. Deferredof December 31, 2010 deferred U.S. income taxes have been provided on certain undistributed foreign earnings for years subsequent to fiscal 2008 sinceof a U.K. limited partnership subsidiary, we expect that substantially all of these earnings will be distributed to the U.S. As of December 31, 2009, we have not recorded a deferred U.S. income tax on the foreign currency translation adjustment created by the post-fiscal 2008 undistributed foreign earnings.
since only an insignificant amount relates to that subsidiary.
In March 2005, we sold the net assets of our shock and vibration control device manufacturing business, (“VMC”).which we refer to as VMC. Under the terms of the sale agreements, we retained certain liabilities relating to adverse environmental conditions that existed at the premises occupied by VMC as of the date of sale andsale. We recorded a liability for the estimated remediation costs.costs related to adverse environmental conditions that existed at the VMC premises when it was sold. The accrued environmental liability at December 31, 2009 is $1.12010 was $1.5 million, of which $322,000 iswas expected to be paid within one year.
DuringWe have identified instances of noncompliance with the quarter ended March 31,International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) in certain of our past business activities as well as in the pre-acquisition business activities of certain recently acquired companies. These include the inadvertent misclassification and/or export of products without the required license and the disclosure of controlled technology to certain foreign national employees. These matters were formally disclosed to the U.S. Department of State from time to time during the period from 2007 through 2010.
For example, in fiscal 2007, when we became aware that certain RadHard bidirectional multipurpose transceivers sold by us since 1999 may have been subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State in accordance with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”). Accordingly,ITAR, we filed a Voluntary Disclosure with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, Department of State describing the details of the possible inadvertent misclassification. Simultaneously, we filedmisclassification and identifying certain unauthorized exports from the United States to end-users in a Commodity Jurisdictionnumber of countries, including China and Russia. Once our request providing detailed informationfor reclassification was denied and data supporting our contentiona determination was made that the product is not subject to ITAR and requesting a determination that such product is not ITAR controlled. On November 15, 2007, we were informed that the U.S. Department of State had determined in response to our Commodity Jurisdiction request, that the product is subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State in accordance with ITAR. We requested reconsideration of this determination. On February 7, 2008, we filed an addendum to the above referenced Voluntary Disclosure advising the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls that other products sold by us, similar in nature to the transceiver described above, may also be subject to the ITAR. The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls agreed to extend our time to file such addendum to the Voluntary Disclosure until a decision was rendered with respect to our request for reconsideration of the determination in connection with the above-referenced Commodity Jurisdiction request. On August 5, 2008, we received a letter from the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (“DTCC”) requesting that we provide documentation and/or information relating to our compliance initiatives after November 15, 2007 as well as the results of any product reviews conducted by us, and indicating that a civil penalty against us could be warranted in connection with this matter following the review of such materials. We have provided all of the materials and documentation requested by the DTCC. Our request for reconsideration was denied by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls on August 19, 2008 which determined that the product is subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the Department of State in accordance with ITAR. Accordingly,ITAR, on September 18, 2008, we filed an addendum to our Voluntary Disclosure identifying other products that may have been subject to the licensing jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State in accordance with the ITAR but were inadvertently misclassified. misclassified and exported without a license.
At this time it is not possible to determine whether any fines or other penalties will be asserted against us or the materiality of any outcome.
We are involved in various other ITAR related matters, including some recently identified with the prior practices of a newly acquired business, which have been disclosed to the U.S. Department of State. Although we are in the process of addressing these matters, we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to adequately correct all possible ITAR violations. At this time it is not possible to determine whether any fines or other penalties will be asserted against us related to these other ITAR matters, or the materialityoutcome of any outcome.of these matters.
On October 14, 2009, BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems (“BAE”) commenced an action against both us and one of our subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. BAE essentially is alleging that under a subcontract it entered into with us in 2002, BAE provided to us certain proprietary information and know how relating to a high performance direct infrared countermeasure system for use in military aircraft and certain other platforms (“DIRCM System”), which enabled us to fabricate for BAE an assembly component of the third generation of the DIRCM System. BAE is alleging that, in violation of the provisions of the subcontract and a Proprietary Information Agreement, we fabricated or facilitated the fabrication of one or more items that were identical or substantially identical to items that we exclusively fabricated for BAE under the subcontract. BAE further claims that our actions ostensibly enabled a prime competitor of BAE to build and market, in competition with BAE, an infrared countermeasure system that included an unlawful copy of the component. Based on these allegations, BAE has asserted claims against us for patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment and has requested, by way of relief, unspecified damages, injunctive relief and an accounting. We have evaluated BAE’s claims and believe that there is no basis for the allegations or claims made by BAE. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the matter. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
We are also involved in various other claims and legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any of these actions will have a material adverse effect on our financial position,business, results of operations, financial position, liquidity or capital resources.

Management evaluates the operating results of theour two segments based upon adjusted operating income, which is pre-tax operating income before costs related to restructuring, amortization of acquired intangibles, share-based compensation, restructuring expenses, business acquisition and merger related expenses, Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement, loss on liquidation of foreign subsidiary costs, merger related expenses and the impact of any acquisition related adjustments. We have set out above our adjusted operating income by segment and in the aggregate, and have provided a reconciliation of adjusted operating income to operating income (loss) on a GAAP basis and income (loss) before income taxes for the periods presented.
The income tax benefit was $52.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 on a pre-tax loss of $69.5 million. We had an income tax provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 of $5.7 million on a pre-tax loss of $25.5 million. The effective income tax rate for both periods differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income taxes, including U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we anticipate that we will be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The provisions are a combination of U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign tax expense on foreign earnings. The resulting projected net consolidated income tax benefit was then applied to the projected consolidated pre-tax amount for the year to calculate the annual effective tax rate, which contributed to the high income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we identified an overstatement of deferred income tax liabilities established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and throughout fiscal 2010 related to U.S. income taxes provided on unremitted foreign earnings. After consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors, we determined the amounts were not material to any of those prior period financial statements or the fiscal 2011 estimated results and thus corrected the balance in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The adjustment resulted in a reduction of deferred income tax liabilities of $3.7 million, with a corresponding increase in income tax benefit in the statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The adjustment did not impact the statement of cash flows.
The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010 reflects various discrete items, including a $1.2 million income tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D credit and a reduction of $5.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to U.S. income taxes previously provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a direct result of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of Aeroflex’s debt, interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we have changed our intent as to the amount and method of repatriations of foreign earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax liabilities.
The tax provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was affected by the unfavorable impact of a $7.7 million nondeductible loss on the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary, and the favorable impact of a $10.3 million loss for tax purposes on the write off of our investment in a foreign subsidiary in fiscal 2009. For financial statement purposes, the loss had been recognized in the prior periods, however, for tax purposes the loss was recognized at the time of divestiture, effective September 2009.

Initial Public Offering
On November 19, 2010, Aeroflex Holding consummated an initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock in which it sold 19,789,180 shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share, at a price of $13.50 per share. Aeroflex Holding received net proceeds of $244.1 million from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, including a $2.5 million transaction fee which was paid to affiliates of the Sponsors under the advisory agreement with them for services directly attributable to the equity offering (“Transaction Fee”). Aeroflex Holding used the net proceeds of the IPO to make a capital contribution to Aeroflex. In connection with the IPO, Aeroflex:
| · | Repurchased $186.6 million of its senior unsecured notes and senior subordinated unsecured term loans and paid related expenses; |
| · | Paid a $16.9 million termination fee to affiliates of the Sponsors to terminate the advisory agreement with them, which, including the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense (“Termination Fee”); and |
| · | Entered into an amendment of the credit agreement with the lenders of its senior secured credit facility, for which a $3.3 million fee was paid to the lenders |
Debt Repurchase
In December 2010, Aeroflex repurchased approximately $32.2 million of its senior unsecured notes and $154.4 million of its senior subordinated unsecured term loans. This resulted in a $25.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which is comprised of the following:
| · | an 11% premium paid on the debt repurchased, which amounted to $20.5 million; |
| · | the write-off of the related deferred financing costs of $4.0 million; and |
| · | professional fees of $614,000. |
Amendment to Senior Secured Debt Agreement
On November 4, 2010, Aeroflex entered into an amendment of the credit agreement with the lenders of its senior secured credit facility, for which it paid a $3.3 million fee to the lenders which was recorded as deferred financing costs and $579,000 of other costs that were expensed as incurred, which allowed Aeroflex to, among other things:
| · | increase the amount of cash it can spend for acquisitions of businesses from $20 million per year and a $100 million aggregate amount, to $200 million in the aggregate (with no annual limit), from the effective date of the amendment to the credit facility maturity date, August 15, 2014; |
| · | pay certain fees to affiliates of the Sponsors upon the completion of the Aeroflex Holding IPO. These fees were paid on November 24, 2010, and consisted of the $2.5 million Transaction Fee for services directly attributable to the equity offering, which was recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital, and the $16.9 million Termination Fee. The Termination Fee, when combined with the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, amounted to an $18.1 million expense which was recorded in a separate line on the statement of operations entitled Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement; and |
| · | base its interest rate margin above LIBOR on a grid, with reference to its current credit rating. This increased the interest rate margin by 75 basis points for all tranches of debt within the secured credit facility. |

The effective income tax rate for both periods differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income taxes.taxes, including U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we anticipate that we will be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The provisions are a combination of U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign and domestic taxestax expense on foreign earnings (as we expect that substantially all these earnings will be distributedearnings. The resulting projected net consolidated income tax benefit was then applied to the U.S.) distortsprojected net consolidated pre-tax amount for the year to calculate the annual effective tax rate.rate, which contributed to the high income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss. The income tax benefit for the three months ended December 31, 2010 reflects various discrete items in the quarter, including a $1.2 million tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D credit and a reduction of $5.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to U.S. income taxes previously provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a direct result of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of Aeroflex’s debt, interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we have changed our intent as to the amount and method of repatriations of foreign earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax liabilities.
In the three months ended December 31, 2010, we paid income taxes of $6.5 million and received tax refunds of $3.1 million related to federal, state and foreign income taxes.

In the AMS segment, SG&A costs decreased $502,000,increased $5.4 million, or 2%.26%, to $26.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This increase is primarily due to additional costs of $2.3 million related to RAD, acquired in June 2010, and ACC, acquired in August 2010; general increases in our existing businesses, primarily due to increased employee related expenses of $1.4 million and external commissions of $578,000; and increased professional fees of $504,000. SG&A costs in the AMS segment increased from 14.0% to 15.6%, as a percentage of sales, from the six months ended December 31, 2009 to the six months ended December 31, 2010.
In the ATS segment, SG&A costs increased $7.0 million, or 21%, to $40.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to increased employee related expenses of $2.7 million; increased commissions of $2.4 million, due to the increase in sales volume and a change in product mix; and additional costs of $2.1 million related to Willtek, acquired in May 2010. As a percentage of sales, SG&A costs decreased 120 basis points for AMS. The components group reduced SG&A costs by $1.6 million, primarily due to cost savings initiatives. These savings, in the AMS segment, are partially offset by additional costs of $779,000 related to Airflyte Electronics, acquired in June 2009.
In the ATS segment SG&A costs decreased $694,000, or 2%. This was primarilyincreased from 22.2% to 23.6% from the result of a decrease of $1.7 million duesix months ended December 31, 2009 to cost savings initiatives and efforts to consolidate and reorganize our various European locations, partially offset by additional costs of $1.4 million related to VI Technology, acquired in March 2009.

Amortization of Acquired Intangibles. Amortization of acquired intangibles increased $687,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to additional amortization related to the acquisitions of Willtek, in May 2010; RAD, in June 2010; and ACC, in August 2010. The increases in amortization were partially offset by certain intangibles becoming fully amortized during fiscal 2010. By segment, the amortization increased $877,000 in the AMS segment and decreased $1.5$190,000 in the ATS segment.
Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement. In connection with the Aeroflex Holding IPO, we paid a $16.9 million Termination Fee to affiliates of the Sponsors on November 24, 2010 to terminate the Sponsor Advisory Agreement with them and eliminate all future payments to the Sponsors under that agreement, which, including the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense. There was no similar charge recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Restructuring Charges. The AMS segment incurred total restructuring costs of $6.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 which primarily relate to consolidation of our components operations by relocating a portion of our Whippany, New Jersey facility’s production to our Ann Arbor, Michigan facility and a portion to our Eatontown, New Jersey facility. In connection with this consolidation, we recorded a $4.9 million impairment charge based on the fair value of the Whippany, New Jersey facility we intend to sell. There were no comparable charges for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
The ATS segment incurred restructuring costs of $2.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010. In comparison, for the six months ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to certain intangibles becoming fully amortized during the first quarterATS segment incurred restructuring costs of fiscal 2009. The decrease is offset by additional amortization$251,000. In both periods, the costs related to VI Technology, acquiredconsolidation and reorganization efforts in March 2009, of $1.2 million and Airflyte, acquired in June 2009, of $581,000. By segment, the amortization decreased $1.6 million in the AMS segment and increased $89,000 in the ATS segment.our U.K. operations.
Loss on Liquidation of Foreign Subsidiary. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we recognized a $7.7 million non-cash loss on liquidation of a foreign subsidiary. There was no similar charge recorded infor the six months ended December 31, 2008.2010.
Other Income (Expense). Interest expense was $42.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and $42.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009. The interest expense decreased, and will further decrease next quarter, as a result of the repurchase, in both 2009December 2010, of $186.6 million of Aeroflex’s senior unsecured notes and 2008.senior subordinated unsecured term loans with the proceeds from the IPO. During the six months ended December 31, 2010 we incurred a $25.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt, which was comprised primarily of $20.5 million in premiums paid on the debt repurchased and $4.0 million for the write-off of the related deferred financing costs. In addition, we recognized a $173,000 gain on bargain purchase related to the final working capital adjustment to the purchase price of Willtek, acquired in June 2010. There were no comparable charges for the six months ended December 31, 2009. Other income (expense) wasof ($407,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2010 consisted primarily of a ($688,000) other than temporary impairment recorded on our auction rate securities and ($305,000) of foreign currency transaction losses offset by $586,000 of interest and miscellaneous income. Other income (expense) of $479,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009 consistingconsisted primarily of $1.1 million of interest and miscellaneous income, offset by $584,000($584,000) of foreign currency transaction losses. Other income (expense) of $12.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008 consisted primarily of $11.2 million of foreign currency transaction gains and $1.2 million of interest and miscellaneous income.
Provision for Income Taxes. The income tax provisionbenefit was $5.7$52.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009,2010 on a pre-tax loss of $25.5$69.5 million. We had an income tax benefitprovision for the six months ended December 31, 20082009 of $10.9$5.7 million an effective income tax rateon a pre-tax loss of 49.7%.$25.5 million. The effective income tax rate for both periods differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to income before income taxes primarily due to foreign, state and local income taxes.taxes, including U.S. income tax on certain foreign net income, since we anticipate that we will be repatriating these earnings to the U.S. The provisions are a combination of U.S. tax benefits on domestic losses and foreign tax expense on foreign earnings. The resulting projected net consolidated income tax benefit was then applied to the projected consolidated pre-tax amount for the year to calculate the annual effective tax rate, which contributed to the high income tax benefit as a percentage of pre-tax loss. During the three months ended September 30, 2010, we identified an overstatement of deferred income tax liabilities established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 and domesticthroughout fiscal 2010 related to U.S. income taxes provided on unremitted foreign earnings asearnings. After consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors, we expect that substantially all these earnings will be distributeddetermined the amounts were not material to the U.S. The projected provisionany of U.S. taxes on foreign source income for fiscal 2010 in relation tothose prior period financial statements or the fiscal 2010 pre-tax projected amounts2011 estimated results and thus corrected the balance in the three months ended September 30, 2010. The adjustment resulted in a negative effectivereduction of deferred income tax rateliabilities of $3.7 million, with a corresponding increase in income tax benefit in the statement of operations for fiscalthe three months ended September 30, 2010. The adjustment did not impact the statement of cash flows. The income tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2010 which when appliedreflects various discrete items, including a $1.2 million income tax benefit for the retroactive reinstatement of the U.S. R&D credit and a reduction of $5.7 million of deferred tax liabilities related to U.S. income taxes previously provided on unremitted foreign earnings. As a direct result of Aeroflex Holding’s IPO, and related repurchase of a portion of Aeroflex’s debt, interest payments will decrease in the future. Consequently, we have changed our intent as to the pre-tax lossamount and method of repatriations of foreign earnings, which resulted in the reduction of deferred tax liabilities. The tax provision for the six months ended December 31, 2009 resultedwas affected by the unfavorable impact of a $7.7 million nondeductible loss on the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary, and the favorable impact of a $10.3 million loss for tax purposes on the write off of our investment in a foreign subsidiary in fiscal 2009. For financial statement purposes, the loss had been recognized in the prior periods, however, for tax expensepurposes the loss was recognized at the time of $5.7 million.divestiture, effective September 2009.
In the six months ended December 31, 2010, we paid income taxes of $10.2 million and received tax refunds of $3.1 million related to federal, state and foreign income taxes. In the six months ended December 31, 2009, we paid income taxes of $4.5 million and received tax refunds of $631,000 related to federal, state and foreign income taxes. In the six months ended December 31, 2008, we paid income taxes of $2.4 million.$631,000.
Net income (loss). The net loss was $17.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2010 and $31.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and $11.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2008.2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The liquidity and capital resources of Aeroflex Holding are essentially identical to the liquidity and capital resources of Aeroflex, with the following significant exception: Aeroflex Holding, in connection with its IPO of common stock on November 19, 2010, received net proceeds of $244.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, whereas Aeroflex received the net proceeds of the IPO of $244.1 million in the form of a capital contribution from Aeroflex Holding. All indebtedness has been incurred by Aeroflex; such indebtedness is reflected on the balance sheets of Aeroflex Holding by virtue of the principles of consolidation. Aeroflex Holding’s principal source of liquidity has been the proceeds of the IPO. Aeroflex’s principal sources of liquidity include cash generated from operations, borrowings and availability under its credit facilities and contributions from Aeroflex Holding.
As of December 31, 2009, we2010, Aeroflex had $68.8$70.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, $235.6267.2 million in working capital and ourits current ratio was 2.8 to 1. As of June 30, 2009, we had $57.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $221.4 million in working capital and our current ratio was 2.52.99 to 1.
At December 31, 2009, our gross investment in marketable securities consisted of $18.9 million of auction rate securities. Auction rate securities represent long-term (generally maturities of ten years to thirty-five years from the date of issuance) variable rate bonds tied to short-term interest rates that are reset through an auction process every seven to thirty-five days, and are classified as available for sale securities. All but one (with the one security having a carrying value of $1.7 million and an A rating) of our auction rate securities retain a triple-A rating by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating organization. In addition, certain of our auction rate securities are backed by student loans whose principal and interest are federally guaranteed by the Family Federal Education Loan Program.
Since many auctions are failing and given that there is currently no active secondary market for our investment in auction rate securities, the determination of fair value was based on the following factors:
| · | lack of action by the issuers to establish different forms of financing to replace or redeem these securities; and |
| · | the credit quality of the underlying securities. |
In July 2009, $1.0 million of our auction rate securities were redeemed by the issuer at par. In January 2010, an additional $4.0 million of our auction rate securities were redeemed by the issuer at 92% of par. The resulting $320,000 realized loss will be recorded in the statement of operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Since February 2008, when auctions began to fail, through February 2010, $31.5 million of auction rate securities were redeemed at par, except for the January 2010 redemption discussed above. Given the high credit quality of our auction rate securities and our intent and ability to hold these securities until liquidity returns to the market or maturity, we believe we will recover the full remaining principal amount in the future. However, at December 31, 2009, we concluded that the fair value of our auction rate securities was $16.9 million, which reflects a $2.0 million valuation allowance.
Should credit market disruptions continue or increase in magnitude, we may be required to record a further impairment on our investments or consider that an ultimate liquidity event may take longer than currently anticipated.
OurIts principal liquidity requirements are to service ourits debt and interest and meet ourits working capital and capital expenditure needs. As of December 31, 2009, we2010, Aeroflex had $894.2$696.3 million of debt outstanding (of which $890.0$695.9 million was long-term), including approximately $511.8$489.1 million under ourthe senior secured credit facility, $225.0$192.8 million of senior unsecured notes and $156.3$13.6 million under ourthe senior subordinated unsecured credit facility, including paid-in-kind interest.facility. Additionally, at December 31, 2009 we were able to borrow an additional2010 Aeroflex had a $50.0 million under the revolving portion of our senior secured credit facility.facility available to it, under which $0 was outstanding.

Financial covenants in theAeroflex’s senior secured credit facility include (i) a maximum leverage ratio of total debt (less up to $15$15.0 million of unrestricted cash) to Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the agreement,senior secured credit facility, and (ii) maximum consolidated capital expenditures. The maximum leverage ratio permitted for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 20082010 was 7.30 and 8.20, respectively,5.90, whereas ourthe actual leverage ratio was 6.41 and 5.75, respectively.

Aeroflex’s senior secured credit facility, senior subordinated unsecured credit facility and the indenture governing its senior unsecured notes contain restrictions on its activities, including but not limited to covenants that restrict Aeroflex and its restricted subsidiaries, as defined in the senior subordinated unsecured credit facility, from:
| · | incurring additional indebtedness and issuing disqualified stock or preferred stock; |
| · | making certain investments or other restricted payments; |
| · | paying dividends and making other distributions with respect to capital stock, or repurchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock or subordinated debt; |
| · | selling or otherwise disposing of assets; |
| · | under certain circumstances, issuing or selling equity interests; |
| · | creating liens on assets; |
| · | consolidating or merging with, or acquiring in excess of specified annual limitations, another business, or selling or disposing of all or substantially all of their assets; and |
| · | entering into certain transactions with affiliates. |
If for any reason Aeroflex fails to comply with the covenants in the senior secured credit facility, it would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing its outstanding debt. If such a default were to occur, the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could elect to declare all amounts outstanding there under immediately due and payable, and the lenders would not be obligated to continue to advance funds to Aeroflex. In addition, if such a default were to occur, any amounts then outstanding under the senior subordinated unsecured term loan or senior unsecured notes could become immediately due and payable. If the amounts outstanding under these debt agreements are accelerated, Aeroflex’s assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the amounts owed to debt holders.
We expect that cash generated from operating activities and availability under the revolving portion of theAeroflex’s senior secured credit facility will be ourAeroflex’s principal sources of liquidity. OurAeroflex’s ability to make payments on and to refinance ourits indebtedness and to fund working capital needs and planned capital expenditures will depend on ourits ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control. In addition, to the extent Aeroflex has consolidated excess cash flows, as defined in the credit agreement governing the senior secured credit facility, Aeroflex must use specified portions of the excess cash flows to prepay senior secured credit facilities. Based on ourits current level of operations, we believe ourAeroflex’s cash flow from operations and available borrowings under ourits senior secured credit facility will be adequate to meet ourAeroflex’s liquidity needs for at least the next twelve months. We cannot assure you, however, that ourits business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations, or thatthose future borrowings will be available to us under ourthe senior secured credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable usAeroflex to repay ourits indebtedness or to fund other liquidity needs. WeAeroflex may need to refinance all or a portion of ourits indebtedness on or before the maturity thereof. We cannot assure you that weAeroflex will be able to refinance any of ourits indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
Cash Flows
For the six months ended December 31, 2010, Aeroflex’s cash flow used by operations was $11.1 million primarily due to increased inventory of $24.2 million in anticipation of higher sales.

Termination of Sponsor Advisory Agreement
| (1) | Amounts do not include interest payments. |
Also in connection with the Aeroflex Holding IPO, we paid a $16.9 million Termination Fee to affiliates of the Sponsors on November 24, 2010 to terminate the Sponsor Advisory Agreement with them and eliminate all future payments to the Sponsors under that agreement, which including the related write-off of prepaid advisory fees, resulted in an $18.1 million expense.

| (3) | The annual advisory fee is payable to our Sponsors throughout the term of an advisory agreement, which has an initial term expiring on December 31, 2013 and is automatically renewable for additional one year terms thereafter unless terminated. For purposes of this table we have assumed that such agreement terminates December 31, 2013. The annual fee will be the greater of $2.2 million or 1.8% of Adjusted EBITDA for the prior fiscal year, as defined in the agreement. |
In the normal course of business, we routinely enter into binding and non-binding purchase obligations primarily covering anticipated purchases of inventory and equipment. None of these obligations are individually significant. We do not expect that these commitments, as of December 31, 2009, will have a material adverse affect on our liquidity.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.operations or financial condition.
Seasonality
Historically our net sales and earnings increase sequentially from quarter to quarter within a fiscal year, but the first quarter is typically less than the previous year’s fourth quarter.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This discussion and analysis ofInformation regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable SEC regulations for preparation of interim financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires that management of the Company make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Among the more significant estimates included in our consolidated financial statements are revenue and cost recognition under long-term contracts; the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, investments and deferred tax assets; the depreciable lives of fixed assets and useful lives of amortizable intangible assets; the valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations; the recoverability of long-lived amortizable intangible assets, tradenames and goodwill; share-based compensation; restructuring charges; asset retirement obligations; fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities and certain accrued expenses and contingencies.
We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic, environmental and political factors and changes in the business climate; therefore, actual results may differ from those estimates. When no estimate in a given range is deemed to be better than any other when estimating contingent liabilities, the low end of the range is accrued. Accordingly, the accounting estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant them. Such changes and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the critical accounting policies involving significant estimates listed below are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

During the six month period ended December 31, 2009,2010, there were no significant changes to any critical accounting policies or to the related estimates and judgments involved in applying those policies, except that effective July 1, 2009 we adopted new authoritative revenue recognition principles, the effect of which was immaterial. This is further discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowings under ourAeroflex’s senior secured credit facility. Although we currently have interest rate swap agreements hedging portions of this debt, these willthey expire in February 2011 before the borrowings are fully repaid.repaid and we currently do not anticipate renewing them. As of December 31, 2009, we have $511.82010, there is $489.1 million outstanding under the term-loan portion of ourthe senior secured credit facility, the un-hedged portion of which is subject to variable interest rates. Each change of 1% in interest rates would result in a $806,000$4.6 million change in our annual interest expense over the next year on the un-hedged portion of the term-loan borrowings and a $507,000 change in our annual interest expense on the revolving loan borrowings, assuming the entire $50.0 million was outstanding. Any debt we incur in the future may also bear interest at floating rates.
Foreign Currency Risk. Foreign currency contracts are used to protect us from exchange rate fluctuation from the time customers are invoiced in local currency until such currency is exchanged for U.S. dollars. WeAeroflex periodically enterenters into foreign currency contracts, which are not designated as hedges, and the change in the fair value is included in income currently within other income (expense). As of December 31, 2009, we2010, Aeroflex had $26.7$31.7 million of notional value foreign currency forward contracts maturing through January 29, 2010. As of December 31, 2008, we had $8.1 million of notional value foreign currency forward contracts maturing through March 12, 2009.2011. Notional amounts do not quantify risk or represent assets or liabilities of the Company,Aeroflex, but are used in the calculation of cash settlements under the contracts. The fair value of these contracts at December 31, 2009 and 20082010 was immaterial.an asset of $18,000. If foreign currency exchange rates (primarily the British pound and the Euro) change by 10% from the levels at December 31, 2009,2010, the effect on our comprehensive income would be approximately $19.5$23.4 million.
Inflation Risk. Inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition during the preceding three years.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On October 14, 2009, BAE Systems InformationThere have been no material changes in our legal proceedings disclosed in Aeroflex Holding’s Registration Statement and Electronic Systems (“BAE”) commenced an action against both us and one of our subsidiaries in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. BAE essentially is alleging that under a subcontract it entered into with us in 2002, BAE provided to us certain proprietary information and know how relating to a high performance direct infrared countermeasure system for use in military aircraft and certain other platforms (“DIRCM System”), which enabled us to fabricate for BAE an assembly component of the third generation of the DIRCM System. BAE is alleging that, in violation of the provisions of the subcontract and a Proprietary Information Agreement, we fabricated or facilitated the fabrication of one or more items that were identical or substantially identical to items that we exclusively fabricated for BAE under the subcontract. BAE further claims that our actions ostensibly enabled a prime competitor of BAE to build and market, in competition with BAE, an infrared countermeasure system that included an unlawful copy of the component. Based on these allegations, BAE has asserted claims against us for patent infringement, trade secret misappropriation, breach of contract, conversion and unjust enrichment and has requested, by way of relief, unspecified damages, injunctive relief and an accounting. We have evaluated BAE’s claims and believe that there is no basis for the allegations or claims made by BAE. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that we will prevail in the matter. We do not believe that the ultimate resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity or capital resources.
