most significant effects related to: (i) the recognition of new right of use assets and lease liabilities on our balance sheet for primarily real estate operating leases and (ii) providing significant new disclosures regarding lease activities. The Company does not expect a significant change in our leasing activities between now and adoption.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”) which modifies the disclosure requirement on fair value measurements. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the effect, if any, the update will have on the financial statements when adopted in fiscal 2021.

Newly Adopted Accounting Standards

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). (“ASU 2014-09”), as amended, which establishes new guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 eliminates most of the existing industry-specific revenue recognition guidance and significantly expands related disclosures. Additionally, it supersedes some cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and creates a new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs-Contracts with Customers. The ~~required disclosures~~Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps: identification of the contract, or contracts, with the customer; identification of the performance obligations in the contract; determination of the transaction price; allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and recognize revenue when, or as, the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The core principle of the guidance is that the Company will recognize revenue upon the transfer of the promised goods and services to its customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The new guidance requires significant additional judgement and estimation (as compared to the previous guidance) that may include, ~~both quantitative~~but is not limited to, identifying performance obligations and ~~qualitative information about~~estimating the amount of variable consideration, if any, to include in the transaction price, and allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations. The new standard allows for two methods of adoption, either by (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (“full retrospective method”) or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application (“modified-retrospective method”). The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 using the modified-retrospective method, which resulted in a cumulative effect increase of $484,000, including the adoption of ASC 340-40 as noted below, as of the date of adoption on May 1, 2018, to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 effected all new and open contracts as of the adoption date.

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on May 1, 2018, the Company also adopted the guidance in ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers (“ASC 340-40”), with respect to capitalization and amortization of incremental costs of obtaining a contract. The new cost guidance requires the capitalization of all incremental costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, provided it expects to recover the costs. The Company expects that sales commissions as a result of obtaining customer contracts are recoverable, and therefore the Company defers and capitalizes them as contract costs. As a result of this new guidance, the Company capitalizes sales commissions for which the expected amortization period is greater than one year. The Company classifies the unamortized portion of deferred commissions as current or noncurrent assets based upon the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense. The current and ~~uncertainty~~noncurrent portion of deferred commissions are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Adoption of ASC 340-40 resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of $87,000 to total assets, $109,000 to total liabilities, and a $22,000 reduction to retained earnings, as of the date of adoption, on May 1, 2018.

The Company’s new accounting policies as a result of adopting ASU 2014-09 are discussed below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which is when the expected goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to receive. A performance obligation is a distinct product or service that is transferred to the customer based on the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and is recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of that performance obligation. The company derives revenue from contracts with customers by units sold with specific specifications and frequencies that are used by a specific customer and contracts where the ~~significant judgments used. Entities can retrospectively apply ASU 2014-09~~end user is the government. The Company’s contracts typically include multiple performance obligations which are satisfied either by shipped projects or ~~use an alternative transition~~the completion of milestones as defined in the contract. The transaction price is allocated either (i) based on the sale price of each item shipped or (ii) as defined by the milestones stated in the contract.

Revenues under larger, long-term contracts which generally require billings based on achievement of milestones rather than delivery of product, are reported in operating results using the Percentage of Completion (“POC”) method. ~~In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral~~On fixed-price contracts, which are typical for commercial and U.S. Government satellite programs and other long-term U.S. Government projects, and which require initial design and development of the ~~effective date~~product, revenue is recognized on the cost-to-cost method. Under this method, revenue is recorded based upon the ratio that incurred costs bear to total estimated contract costs with related cost of sales recorded as the costs are incurred. Each month management reviews estimated contract costs through a process of aggregating actual costs incurred and estimating additional costs to completion based upon the current available information and status of the contract. The effect of any change in the estimated gross margin rate (“GM Rate”) for a contract is reflected in revenues in the period in which the change is known. Provisions for the full amount of anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.

On production-type orders, revenue is recorded as units are delivered with the related cost of sales recognized on each shipment based upon a percentage of estimated final program costs. Changes in job performance on long-term contracts and production-type orders may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which revisions are determined to be required. Provisions for anticipated losses on customer orders are made in the period in which they become determinable.

For customer orders in the Company’s FEI-Zyfer segment or smaller contracts or orders in the FEI-NY segment, sales of products and services to customers are reported in operating results based upon (i) shipment of the product or (ii) performance of the services pursuant to terms of the customer order. When payment is contingent upon customer acceptance of the installed system, revenue is deferred until such acceptance is received and installation completed.

In connection with the adoption of ASU ~~2014-09. ASU 2014-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, and~~2019-09, there were changes to the Company, must adopt the ASU on May 1, 2018, for fiscal year 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU 2014-09 may have on its financial statements when the statement is adopted for its fiscal year 2019. The Company has completed an evaluation based upon our various contract types. If ASU 2014-09 does require adjustments to be made totiming of the Company’s revenue recognition associated with the significant portion of our business that was not being accounted for as percentage of completion in prior years for contracts where the end customer was the U.S. Government. These production-type contracts under which revenue was previously recorded as Passage of Title (“POT”) are currently being recognized as POC following adoption of this ASU. As a result, the Company ~~expects that~~will begin recognizing revenue earlier under these contracts. The Company’s products generally carry a one-year warranty, but may vary based on the ~~initial prospective adjustments~~contract terms.

Significant judgment is used in evaluating the financial information for certain contracts related to ~~retained earnings required~~the adoption of this ASU to ~~bring~~determine an appropriate budget and estimated cost. The Company evaluates this information continuously and bases its judgments on historical experience, design specifications, and expected costs for material and labor.

Practical Expedients

The Company expenses sales commissions as sales and marketing expenses in the period they are incurred if the expected amortization period is one year or less.

The Company expenses costs, other than sales commissions, to obtain a contract in the period for which they are incurred as these amounts would have been incurred even if the contract had not been obtained.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Total revenue related to the adoption ASU 2014-09 and recognized over time as POC was approximately $33.3 million of the $36.4 million reported for the nine months ended January 31, 2019, and $12.9 million of the $13.2 million reported for the three months ended January 31, 2019.

NOTE L – VALUATION ALLOWANCE ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. In evaluating our ability to recover deferred tax assets in the jurisdiction from which they arise, we consider all positive and negative evidence, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. ~~The carrying value~~Based on the weighting of all evidence, both positive and negative, most notably the ~~Company’s net~~three year cumulative loss, we established a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets ~~assumes that~~during the ~~Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions.~~quarter ended April 30, 2018. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to ~~record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense in the consolidated statement of operations, or conversely, to further reduce~~adjust its existing valuation allowance resulting in ~~less~~changes to deferred income tax expense. The Company evaluates the ~~realizability~~likelihood of realizing its deferred tax assets ~~and assesses the need for additional valuation allowance~~ quarterly. The valuation allowance of approximately $6.8 million as of January 31, 2018 is intended to provide for uncertainty regarding the ultimate realization of U.S. state investment credits carryovers, and foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryovers.

On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA” or the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law. ~~The Tax Act makes comprehensive changes~~In response to the ~~U.S. tax code, including, but not limited to: (1) reducing~~TCJA, the U.S. ~~federal corporate~~Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax ~~rate~~effects of TCJA. The purpose of SAB 118 was to address any uncertainty in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes in the reporting period in which the TCJA was enacted. SAB 118 addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the TCJA upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period which include the enactment date. SAB 118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the TCJA. Additionally, SAB 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the TCJA, not to extend beyond one year from ~~35%~~the date of enactment.

As of the period ended April 30, 2018, the Company’s accounting for certain elements of the TCJA was incomplete. The Company recorded a provisional noncash charge to ~~21%; (2) changing the rules~~income tax expense of $5.3 million related to ~~uses and limitations~~the revaluation of net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 as well as the repeal of the current carryback provisions for NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017; (3) immediate full expensing of certain qualified property; (4) creation of a new limitation on deductible interest expense; (5) elimination of the corporate minimum tax and (6) repeal of the deduction for income attributable to domestic production activities.

~~In accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, the Company is required to record the effects of tax law changes in the period enacted. During the three months ended January 31, 2018, we revalued~~ our ~~U.S.~~ deferred tax assets at the lower federal corporate tax rate of 21%~~, which resulted in a noncash charge to income tax expense of approximately $4.8 million.

However, our U.S. deferred tax assets inclusive of the fiscal 2018 tax losses will be realized in future tax years at the lower corporate tax rate of 21%.

~~The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 118, which provides guidance on~~ accounting for the tax effects of ~~the TCJA.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, ~~2017,~~2018, filed on July ~~31, 2017.~~30, 2018. The Company believes its most critical accounting policies to be the recognition of revenue and costs on production contracts, income taxes, and the valuation of inventory. Each of these areas requires the Company to make use of reasoned estimates including estimating the cost to complete a contract, the realizable value of its inventory orand the market value of its products. Changes in estimates can have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company’s significant accounting policies did not change during the nine and three months ended January 31, 2019, except for those impacted by the newly adopted accounting standard below.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, when the expected goods or services are transferred to the customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. A performance obligation is a distinct product or service that is transferred to the customer’s control based on the contract. The transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation and is recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of that performance obligation. The company derives revenue either as (i) units with specifications and frequencies that can be used by multiple customers (POT) or (ii) units with specific specifications and frequencies that are used by a specific customer or for government end use (POC).

In prior years, a significant portion of our business that was not being accounted for as POC was from contracts where the end customer is the U.S. Government. These production-type contracts under which revenue was previously recorded as POT are currently being recognized as POC following adoption of ASU 2014-09 as noted in Note J to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I of this form 10-Q. As a result, the Company will begin recognizing revenue earlier under these contracts.

Revenues under larger, long-term contracts which generally require billings based on achievement of milestones rather than delivery of product, are reported in operating results using the ~~percentage of completion~~POC method. On fixed-price contracts, which are typical for commercial and U.S. Government satellite programs and other long-term U.S. Government projects, and which require initial design and development of the product, revenue is recognized on the cost-to-cost method. Under this method, revenue is recorded based upon the ratio that incurred costs bear to total estimated contract costs with related cost of sales recorded as the costs are incurred. Each month management reviews estimated contract costs through a process of aggregating actual costs incurred and estimating additional costs to completion based upon the current available information and status of the contract. The effect of any change in the estimated ~~gross margin percentage~~GM Rate for a contract is reflected in revenues in the period in which the change is known. Provisions for the full amount of anticipated losses on contracts are made in the period in which they become determinable.

(Continued)

On production-type orders, revenue is recorded as units are delivered with the related cost of sales recognized on each shipment based upon a percentage of estimated final program costs.

Changes in job performance on long-term contracts and production-type orders may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which revisions are determined to be required. Provisions for anticipated losses on customer orders are made in the period in which they become determinable.

Costs and Expenses

incurred, except as otherwise noted in Note J above in relation to the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

Inventory

In accordance with industry practice, inventoried costs contain amounts relating to contracts and programs with long production cycles, a portion of which will not be realized within one year. Inventory ~~write downs~~write-downs are established for slow-moving, obsolete items and costs incurred on programs for which production-level orders cannot be determined as probable. Such ~~write downs~~write-downs are based upon management’s experience and expectations for future business. Any changes arising from revised expectations are reflected in cost of sales in the period the revision is made.

Marketable Securities

All of the Company’s investments in marketable securities are Level 1 securities which trade on public markets and have current prices that are readily available. In general, investments in fixed income securities are only in the commercial paper of financially sound corporations or the bonds of U.S. Government agencies. Although the value of such investments may fluctuate significantly based on economic factors, the Company’s own financial strength enables it to wait for the securities to either recover their value or to mature such that any interim unrealized gains or losses are deemed to be temporary.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As a result, income tax expense for the three months ended January 31, 2018 includesforeign taxes and a discrete income tax ~~expense of approximately $4.8 million for the reduction in our net deferred tax assets.~~

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended January 31,2018 was (35.2) % compared to 63.7% in the nine months ended January 31, 2017. For the three months ended January 31, 2018 and 2017, the effective tax rates were (39.2) % and 147%, respectively. The current year effective tax rate primarily reflects the impact of the TCJA, deductible permanent differences and R&D credits included in the computation of U.S. federal and state income taxes.

The change in the effective tax rates in the nine and three months ended January 31, 2018 compared to prior periods is primarily due to changes in the earnings mix between U.S. and non-domestic operations, and discrete deferred income tax provisionsprovision related to the ~~enactment~~accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits and the ~~TCJA and stock compensation in connection with the adoption~~expiration of ~~ASU 2016-09 in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.

The Company did not recognize an income tax provision on US domestic pretax income in the current period but recognized an income tax provision in the comparable period related to the enactment of the TCJA. The effective rate for the nine months ended January 31, 2019 differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the mix of domestic and foreign earnings, a discrete income tax provision related to the accrual of interest for unrecognized tax benefits, the expiration of a foreign net operating loss carryforward, and domestic losses for which the Company is not recognizing an income tax benefit.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2019 is an income tax provision of 23.1% on a pretax loss of $242 compared to an income tax provision of 39.2% on a pretax loss of $7,259 in the comparable prior period.

Based on the weighting of all evidence, both positive and negative, most notably the three-year cumulative loss, we established a full valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets during the quarter ended April 30, 2018. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to adjust its existing valuation allowance resulting in changes to deferred income tax expense. The Company evaluates the likelihood of realizing its deferred tax assets quarterly.

On December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted into law. In response to the TCJA, the SEC staff issued SAB 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of TCJA. The purpose of SAB 118 was to address any uncertainty or diversity of view in applying ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, in the reporting period in which the TCJA was enacted. SAB 118 addresses situations where the accounting is incomplete for certain income tax effects of the TCJA upon issuance of a company’s financial statements for the reporting period which include the enactment date. SAB 118 allows for a provisional amount to be recorded if it is a reasonable estimate of the impact of the TCJA. Additionally, SAB 118 allows for a measurement period to finalize the impacts of the TCJA, not to extend beyond one year from the date of enactment.

As of the period ended April 30, 2018, the Company’s accounting for certain elements of the TCJA was incomplete. The Company recorded a provisional noncash charge to income tax expense of $5.3 million related to the revaluation of our deferred tax assets at the lower federal corporate tax rate of 21%. During the quarter ended January 31, 2019, we finalized the accounting for the tax effects of TCJA with no material changes to the provisional estimate recorded in prior periods.

The Company expects internally generated cash will be adequate to fund these development efforts. The Company may also pursue acquisitions to expand its range of products and may use internally generated cash and external funding in connection with such acquisitions.

~~(Continued)~~

As of January 31, ~~2018,~~2019, the Company’s consolidated funded backlog iswas approximately ~~$16~~$39 million compared to ~~$28~~$30 million at April 30, ~~2017,~~2018, the end of fiscal ~~year 2017.~~2018. Approximately ~~80%~~75% of this backlog is expected to be realized in the next twelve months. Included in the backlog at January 31, ~~2018 is~~2019 was approximately ~~$7.6~~$3.1 million under cost-plus-fee contracts which the Company believes represent firm commitments from its customers for which the Company has not received full funding to-date. The Company excludes from backlog any contracts or awards for which it has not received authorization to proceed and on fixed price contracts excludes any unfunded portion. The Company expects these contracts to become fully funded over time and will add them to its backlog at that time.

The Company believes that its liquidity is adequate to meet its operating and investment needs through at least March ~~19, 2019~~16, 2020 and the foreseeable future.

Based upon the Company’s decision to sell its Gillam business and the associated presentation as Discontinued Operations, the Company believes that the effect on cash flow will be neutral. However, it is expected to have a positive cash effect when the intended sale is concluded. The Company is in active negotiation, with a potential foreign buyer, with a view toward completion of a transaction before April 30, 2018.

The Company’s international business is subject to changes in demand or pricing resulting from fluctuations in currency exchange rates ~~primarily in the Euro to U.S. Dollar exchange rate and~~ in the Chinese Renminbi to U.S. Dollar exchange rate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.
