Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

A.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2021.2022. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in The LGL Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “LGL Group”, “LGL”, “we”, “our” or “us”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 29, 2021.28, 2022.

 

B.

Summary of Significant Accounting PolicesPolicies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries except its sole variable interest entity (“VIE”), LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The VIE serves as the sponsor to a special purpose acquisition company. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The VIE served as the Sponsor to a special purpose acquisition company, LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. (the “SPAC” or “DFNS”). The SPAC completed a merger with its target company, IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc., on August 26, 2021 and changed its name to IronNet, Inc. (“IronNet” or “IRNT”) (the “IronNet Business Combination”). IronNet is a publicly-traded company on the NYSE American (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “IRNT.”

VIE: Our sole interest in a VIE, the Sponsor, iswas accounted for under the equity method of accounting and not consolidated.  Determining whether to consolidate a VIE requires judgement in assessing whether an entity is a VIE and if we are the entity’s primary beneficiary. If we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we are required to consolidate it.the entity. To determine if we are the primary beneficiary, we evaluate whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our evaluation included identification of significant activities and an assessment of our ability to direct those activities, based on operating and other legal agreements as well as governance provisions. As a result of our review, we concluded that we arewere not the primary beneficiary of the VIE and that consolidation iswas not warranted.

The Company reassesses its evaluationSponsor is managed by LGL Systems Nevada Management Partners LLC (“Nevada GP”), an affiliated entity deemed to be under the significant influence of whether an entityMarc Gabelli, the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board, who is also a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur.greater than 10% stockholder of the Company. The Company reassesses its determination of whetherhas determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of a VIE onthe Sponsor, as Nevada GP has the power to direct the activities of the Sponsor that most significantly impact the Sponsor’s economic performance through an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances.operating agreement. The Company, therefore, accounts for the Sponsor under the equity method of accounting.

Equity-Method Investments:  When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but can exert significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies, the investment is accounted for either (i) under the equity method of accounting or (ii) at fair value by electing the fair value option available under GAAP. Significant influence generally exists when the Company owns 20% to 50% of the entity’s common stock or in-substance common stock.In applying the equity method, we record the investment at cost and subsequently increase or decrease the carrying amount of the investment by our proportionate share of earnings or losses of the investee. We record dividends or other equity distributions as reductions in the carrying value of the investment. Following the Sponsor’s September 2021 distribution of IRNT securities to the Company, as more fully described in Note C – Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary, the Company’s remaining investment in the Sponsor is de minimis.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products in accordance with the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which are:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company meets these conditions upon the Company’s satisfaction of the performance obligation, usually at the time of shipment to the customer, because control passes to the customer at that time. Our standard terms for customers are net due within 30 days, with a few exceptions, none regularly exceeding 60 days.


The Company’s two product groupings, Frequency Control and Spectrum Control, have identical characteristics for revenue recognition. Both are recognized upon shipment to the customer.

The Company provides disaggregated revenue details by segment in Note LK – Segment Information, and geographic markets in Note ML – Domestic and Foreign Revenues.

The Company offers a limited right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions in its agreements with certain electronic component distributors who resell the Company's products to original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing services companies. As a result, the Company estimates and records a reserve for future returns and other charges against revenue at the time of shipment consistent with the terms of sale. The reserve is estimated based on historical experience with each respective distributor. These reserves and charges are immaterial as the Company does not have a history of significant price protection adjustments or returns. The Company provides a standard assurance warranty that does not create a performance obligation.

Practical Expedients:

 

-

The Company applies the practical expedient for shipping and handling as fulfillment costs.


 

-

The Company expenses sales commissions as sales and marketing expenses in the period they are incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company periodically undertakes a review of its valuation allowance, and it evaluates all positive and negative factors that may affect whether it is more likely than not that the Company would realize its future tax benefits from its deferred tax balances.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets to the lowest level to which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying cost of the assets based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is held for sale, management reviews its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using pertinent market information, including appraisals or broker's estimates, and/or projected discounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset.

 

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, weWe performed an assessment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment as a result of the operating conditions resulting from the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic.pandemic at the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022. We concluded that, while there were events and circumstances in the macro-environment that did impact us, we did not experience any entity-specific indicators of asset impairment and no triggering events occurred. While we do not anticipate any material impairment of our assets in the future as a result of COVID-19, future changes in our projected results could alter that view.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The standard replaces the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate credit losses for financial assets. The provisions of the standard are effective for the Company on January 1, 2023; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on its financial statements.

Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

OnIn November 6, 2019, the Company invested $3.35 millionmade its initial investment of $3,350,000 in LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC, a partially owned subsidiary that serves as the Sponsor of LGL Systems Acquisition Corp., (the “SPAC” or “DFNS”). The SPAC is a publicly-traded company on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “DFNS” which was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination in the aerospace, defense and communications industries. The Sponsor holds 100% of the SPAC’s Class B common shares, which are restricted and non-tradable, and 5,200,000 private warrants. The Sponsor purchased the private warrants in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the consummation of the SPAC’s initial public offering (“SPAC IPO”). Each private warrant is exercisable to purchase 1 share of common stock of the SPAC at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company contributed 62.2% of the Sponsor’s risk capital to effect the SPAC IPO.

The SPAC IPO closed on November 12, 2019; proceeds from the SPAC IPO totaled $172.5 million. If the SPAC does not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closing of the SPAC IPO, the proceeds from the sale of the private warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the shares sold in the SPAC IPO (subject to the requirements of applicable law); and the private warrants will expire worthless. The Sponsor holds 20% of the total common shares (Class A and Class B) in the SPAC along with the 5,200,000 private warrants.

The Company also subscribed to a $2.725 millionan additional investment into the Sponsorof $2,725,000 in March 2021, which itwas funded in May 2021.The incremental investment will bewas part of the Sponsor syndication of $5.66 million organized to participate in a $125 million private placement (“PIPE”) purchase of 12,500,000 shares of DFNS Class A common stock.

The PIPE is in connection with the recent announcement by DFNSIronNet Business Combination. As previously discussed, the SPAC completeda merger with its target company on August 26, 2021 and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. (“IronNet”) of the definitive business combination agreement reached between IronNet and DFNS. The PIPE and business combination are expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, after the required approval by the shareholders of DFNS and the fulfillment of certain other conditions. While the syndicated PIPE investment increases the Company’s commitment to the pro forma IronNet company, its position is not expected to be material to the pro forma capitalization. Upon completion of the business combination, which is subject to regulatory and other approvals, the combined company will be renamed IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. and will be listedbegan trading its common stock on the NYSE and trade under the ticker symbol “IRNT”.“IRNT.”

TheOn September 14, 2021, as a result of its Sponsor investment, the Company received 1,572,529 shares of IRNT common stock and 2,065,000 IRNT warrants exchangeable into shares of IRNT common stock. On October 1, 2021, the Company exercised its 2,065,000 warrants on a cashless basis and received 1,271,406 shares of IRNT common stock. To date, the Company has disposed of 1,555,315 of its 2,843,935 shares of IRNT common stock and received related proceeds of approximately $20.2 million, with 1,288,620 shares of IRNT common stock remaining in our portfolio at June 30, 2022 valued at $2.8 million. Subsequent to the September 14, 2021 Sponsor distribution, the Company’s IRNT common stock and warrants were classified as marketable securities under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities (“ASC 321”), with any change in fair value reported as an unrealized gain or loss. See Note D - Marketable Securities. Subsequent to the September 14, 2021 Sponsor distribution, LGL’s interest in the Sponsor is managed by LGL Systems Nevada Management Partners LLC (“Nevada GP”), an affiliated entity deemed to be under the significant influence of Marc Gabelli,immaterial.

D. the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board, who is also a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company. Marketable Securities


The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Sponsor, as Nevada GP has the power to direct the activities of the Sponsor that most significantly impact the Sponsor’s economic performance through an operating agreement. The Company, therefore, accounts for equity securities under ASC 321. Such securities are reported at fair value on the Sponsor underconsolidated balance sheets, and the equity methodrelated unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of accounting. cash flows as non-cash adjustments to income.

The shares of IRNT common stock were received by the Company as a result of the previously discussed Sponsor distribution. The fair value of these shares determined at the date of distribution represents the basis of these securities.

At December 31, 2021, the Company held 1,250,000 shares of IRNT common stock that were restricted from sale until early 2022. The fair value of these shares of restricted common stock was determined by applying a discount for lack of marketability to the publicly quoted market price of IRNT common stock at December 31, 2021. At June 30, 2022, the sale restrictions were released and the fair value of our IRNT securitieswas determined based on equity investment in unconsolidated subsidiary of $752,000 and $139,000, respectively. their publicly quoted market price.

The Company has recognizedexecuted derivatives transactions as part of its plan to minimize the economic risk of IRNT share price volatility to its IRNT holdings. The Company held put options, covering shares of IRNT common stock with a cumulative lossMay 2022 expiration date, for 300,000 shares of $1,030,000 on its investment in the unconsolidated Sponsor as of June 30, 2021.


On April 12, 2021, the SEC’s Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (the “Staff Statement”) was released. The SPAC evaluated the applicability and impact of the Staff Statement on its historical financial statements that have been filed with the SEC and determined that restatement was required.  InIRNT common stock at December 31, 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, the SPAC changed its accounting treatment for both its public and private warrants outstanding using liability classification instead of equity classification resulting in a mark to market warrant liability adjustment for each reporting period since issuance in 2019.  The Company reports its investment in the Sponsor under the equity method of accounting using hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”). HLBV determines the amount that would be received by2022, the Company ifdelivered 50,000 shares against its IRNT put options. On May 5, 2022, the partnership were liquidatedCompany sold its remaining put options held at book value at the endMarch 31, 2022 covering 250,000 shares of each measurement period. The SPAC’s mark to market accounting adjustmentsIRNT common stock for the warrant liability does not change the Company’s HLBV due to the warrants requiring no cash settlement as of December 31, 2020 under a hypothetical liquidation; therefore, the SPAC’s restatement did not impact the Company’s carrying amount of its equity investment in the Sponsor.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value guidance identifies three primary valuation techniques: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The maximization of observable inputs and the minimization of the use of unobservable inputs are required.

Classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the objectivity of the inputs that are significant to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are characterized as follows:


Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. These inputs may include internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Assets

To estimate the market value of its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities.securities adjusted for liquidity, when applicable. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands).

F.At December 31, 2021, the Company utilized a Level 2 category fair value measurement to value its investment in certain IronNet common stock holdings. Although IronNet common stock has a quoted price in active markets, a portion of the Company’s year-end IRNT holdings had sale restrictions requiring a discount for lack of marketability and classification as a Level 2 asset. The selling restriction on the restricted IRNT shares lapsed in the first quarter of 2022. The fair value of the IRNT shares without restrictions is determined based on the market price and included within the Level 1 category.

G.Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. The Company reduces the value of its inventories to net realizable value when the net realizable value is believed to be less than the cost of the item. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory as of June 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 was $1,341,0001,556,000 and $1,219,000,$1,428,000, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization which is included in engineering, selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Amortization is computed for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range up to 10 years. The intangible assets consist of intellectual property and goodwill. The net carrying value of the amortizable intangible assets was $250,000 and $287,000 as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Goodwill, which is not amortizable, was $40,000 as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.


H.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Plan, and the prior 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended, restricted stock and stock options have been awarded to certain employees as share-basedstock-based compensation. Compensation expense is based on thethe grant-date fair value and recognized over the requisite service period.

In April 2022, 30,000 restricted shares were issued with a grant date fair value of $10.46 per share, 15,000 restricted shares vested, and 4,786 of the vested shares were withheld to pay taxes. Stock-based compensation expense was $70,000 and $303,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively and $19,000 and $97,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, there was approximately $415,000$475,000 and $435,000, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-basedstock-based compensation arrangements, primarily related to restricted stock awards. In March 2021, 26,250 unvested restricted shares were forfeited; total unrecognized compensation expense amounted to $147,000 at June 30, 2021. This cost will be recognized over the weighted average remaining service period of these awards, 2.5which is 2 years for restricted stock and 1.30.4 years for stock options.

I.

Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common sharesstock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the effects of warrants, restricted stock, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, there were warrants to purchase 1,051,664 shares of common stock and options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, there were options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation.  The warrants and stock options were excludedcomputation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such warrants and stock options would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 20212022 and 2020:2021:

On January 22, 2020, the Company entered into an Open Market Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC, as sales agent (“Jefferies”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, in what is deemed to be an “at the market offering” (“ATM Offering”) through Jefferies, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000. Shares sold under the Sales Agreement are issued pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-235767), filed by the Company with the SEC on December 31, 2019, which was declared effective on January 8, 2020. The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on January 23, 2020 in connection with the offer and sale of the shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement. During February and March of 2020, 263,725 shares were sold under the Sales Agreement, at an average price per share of $13.65, generating net proceeds of approximately $3,492,000, after brokerage charges of $108,000 were deducted and paid to Jefferies. Form S-3 and at-the-market registration costs were approximately $238,000 and were charged to additional paid-in capital. The Sales Agreement and ATM Offering remain in effect in accordance with their terms.

K.

Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 20212022 and June 30, 20202021 was 77.5%18.9% and 20.2%77.5%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was 20.1% and 357.1%, respectively. Differences between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate are primarily the impact of state taxes, foreign taxes, non-deductible expenses, excess tax benefits or expense on share-based compensation and research and development credits, the mix of earnings between jurisdictions, and state taxes.

The Spin-Off was approved by the Company’s Board on August 3, 2022 and is expected to be effected through a pro rata issuance of shares of MtronPTI’s common stock to the Company’s stockholders structured as a tax-free distribution. Stockholders of the Company leases certain manufacturing and office space and equipment.will receive 1 share of MtronPTI’s common stock for each share of the Company’s common stock held of record as of the close of business on the record date for the distribution. As a result, the Company’s stockholders as of the record date for the Spin-Off will also become the stockholders of MtronPTI after the Spin-Off. The Company determineswill cease to have any ownership interest in MtronPTI following the Spin-Off, but the Company’s stockholders will, unless they sell their shares, be the stockholders of both the Company and MtronPTI.

Management believes that, if completed, the potential Spin-Off of MtronPTI would enable stockholders to more clearly evaluate the performance and future potential of each entity on a standalone basis, while allowing each entity to pursue its own distinct business strategy and capital allocation policy. Separating MtronPTI as an arrangementindependent, publicly-owned company positions both MtronPTI and LGL Group to create value for their respective stockholders. The Spin-Off would permit each company to tailor its strategic plans and growth opportunities, more efficiently raise and allocate resources, including capital raised through debt or equity offerings, provide flexibility to use its own stock as currency for incentive compensation and potential acquisitions and provide investors a more targeted investment opportunity.

If the Spin-Off transaction is consummated, the Company anticipates reporting MtronPTI as a leasediscontinued operation for all periods following the distribution date. The Company’s Board may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withdraw its authorization and approval of the Spin-Off and cause the Company to abandon the Spin-Off at inception. A contract is, or contains, a lease ifany time prior to its consummation. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Amounts associated with operating leases, which are not short-term, are included in right-of-use lease assets, and other accrued expenses and long-term lease liabilitiespotential Spin-Off transaction will be completed in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. Right-of-use lease assets represents the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use lease assets and liabilities are recognizedmanner described above, or at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Short-term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company leases certain property under operating leases with terms that range from one to five years. Certain of these leases have one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 10 years or more, and the exercise of lease renewal options under these leases is at our sole discretion. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictivecovenants.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a diversified holding company with subsidiaries engaged in the designing, manufacturing and marketing of highly-engineered, high reliability frequency and spectrum control products used to control the frequency or timing of signals in electronic circuits, and in the design of high performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications. The Company’s primary markets are aerospace and defense.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries except its sole variable interest entity (“VIE”), LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC (the “Sponsor”). The VIE served as the sponsor to a special purpose acquisition company, LGL Systems Acquisition Corp. (the “SPAC” or “DFNS”). The SPAC completed a merger with its target company, IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc., on August 26, 2021 and changed its name to IronNet, Inc. (“IronNet” or “IRNT”) (the “IronNet Business Combination”). IronNet is a publicly-traded company on the NYSE American (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “IRNT.”

In November 2019, the Company made its initial investment of $3,350,000 in the Sponsor of the SPAC and subscribed to an additional investment of $2,725,000 in March 2021 which was funded in May 2021. The incremental investment was part of the Sponsor syndication to participate in a private placement in connection with the IronNet Business Combination. On September 14, 2021, as a result of its Sponsor investment, the Company received 1,572,529 shares of IRNT common stock and 2,065,000 IRNT warrants exchangeable into shares of IRNT common stock, representing an aggregate fair value of $65.3 million. While LGL continues to hold an interest in the Sponsor, it is immaterial. Subsequent to the September 14, 2021 Sponsor distribution, the Company’s IRNT securities have been classified as marketable securities under ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities (“ASC 321”), with the change in fair value from the date of distribution reported as gain or loss.

Results of Operations

Backlog

As of June 30, 2022, our order backlog was $43,384,000, an increase of 45.6% from $29,797,000 at December 31, 2021 and an increase of 103.2% compared to the backlog of $21,347,000 as of June 30, 2021. Backlog included $43,233,000 and $29,439,000 for our electronic components (MtronPTI) segment and $151,000 and $358,000 for our electronic instruments segment as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company attained record backlog levels as of June 30, 2022. Quarterly bookings


were $13,827,000 for the second quarter of 2022, $15,302,000 for the first quarter of 2022 and $15,169,000 for the fourth quarter of 2021. This record booking trend during the last three quarters reflects improved orders from the continued recovery of the avionics market along with strong defense orders, as we continue to pull in orders from our customers for 2023 and beyond, much of which is expected to ship subsequent to 2022. Supply chain constraints within our industry have pushed our customers to order well in advance to secure product deliveries for their production requirements. The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as agreed letters of intent which we have determined are firm orders likely to be fulfilled largely in the next 12 months but can extend past two years. Order backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any.

Three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to three months ended June 30, 2021

Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin

Total revenues were $7,434,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or 8.0% above revenues of $6,882,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The revenue increase reflects the recovering avionics market and strong defense product shipments.

Investment gains and losses have caused and are expected to continue to cause significant volatility in our earnings, particularly with respect to our IronNet securities.

Other Expense, Net

The Company reported operating income of $345,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $556,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease reflects higher revenue and margins partly offset by inflationary pressures, and negatively impacted by $206,000 of increased stock compensation expense and $343,000 of Spin-Off costs (as defined below) in the first six months of 2022.

Loss on Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

The Company recognized a loss on equity investment in unconsolidated subsidiary of $752,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Diluted net (loss) income per share for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was a loss of $0.30 and income of $0.00, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents were $22,325,000 and $29,016,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company utilized $5,339,000 for investment activities related to marketable securities, including $7,000,000 for purchases of securities offset by security sales of $1,661,000.

Cash (used in) provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $887,000 used in and $48,000, provided by operating activities, respectively. The $1,005,000 decrease was primarily from reduced income taxes payable due to timing of payments, higher inventory levels in support of business growth as well as advanced procurement of certain inventory components to address supply chain issues, offset by reduced accounts receivable and prepaid balances.

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $5,734,000 and $3,125,000, respectively. The $2,609,000 increase reflects the purchase of $7,000,000 of marketable securities and proceeds from the sale of IRNT shares and related derivatives of $1,661,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Capital expenditures of $395,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were for investment in production equipment to improve cost and efficiency, in line with the prior year capital expenditures of $400,000.

Cash used in financing activities of $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 includes $50,000 as the result of vested restricted shares being withheld to pay the related payroll taxes, and $20,000 for prepaid financing costs.

As of June 30, 2022, our consolidated working capital was $49,469,000 compared to $51,410,000 as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, we had current assets of $52,916,000, current liabilities of $3,447,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 15.35 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2021, we had current assets of $55,836,000, current liabilities of $4,426,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 12.62 to 1.00. Management continues to focus on efficiently managing working capital requirements to match operating activity levels and will seek to deploy the Company’s working capital where it will generate the greatest returns.

The Company’s MtronPTI subsidiary has a loan agreement for a revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank N.A. for up to $5,000,000 bearing interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) one-month rate plus 2.25%, with a SOFR floor of 0.00%. The loan agreement has a maturity date of June 15, 2025 and contains certain financial covenants based on the following criteria: (a) Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio; (b) Minimum Current Ratio; and (c) Minimum Tangible Net Worth (each as


defined in the loan agreement). Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by all of the property of two of the Company’s subsidiaries, M-tron Industries, Inc. and Piezo Technology, Inc. At June 30, 2022, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its revolving line of credit with Fifth Third Bank.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

Our Board has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends. This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential acquisitions and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings. No cash dividends have been paid to the Company's stockholders since January 30, 1989, and none are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.

Spin-Off

In late 2021, the Company’s Board approved progressing with the Spin-Off (as defined below) of MtronPTI. On May 11, 2022, the Company filed a Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC indicating its intention to secure stockholder approval of the transaction. At the special meeting of stockholders on June 21, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved the Spin-Off. The Spin-Off will separate the business activities and investments of the Company and create two separate, publicly-traded companies: (1) the Company, which will continue to own and operate Precise Time and Frequency, LLC and hold substantially all the Company’s cash and marketable securities, and (2) MtronPTI, which includes the operations of Piezo Technology, Inc. and M-tron Asia, LLC (the “Spin-Off”). If completed, upon the distribution of the MtronPTI shares, LGL stockholders would own shares of both companies.

Management believes that the Spin-Off of MtronPTI would enable stockholders to more clearly evaluate the performance and future potential of each entity on a standalone basis, while allowing each entity to pursue its own distinct business strategy and capital allocation policy. Separating MtronPTI as an independent, publicly-owned company positions both MtronPTI and LGL Group to create value for their respective stockholders. The Spin-Off would permit each company to tailor its strategic plans and growth opportunities, more efficiently raise and allocate resources, including capital raised through debt or equity offerings, provide flexibility to use its own stock as currency for incentive compensation and potential acquisitions and provide investors a more targeted investment opportunity.

See Note O - Spin-Off in the accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the transaction.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting our industry generally, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on our revenues or income other than those listed below and those listed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and globally, our business and operations have been impacted and may be further impacted, as further discussed below.2021.

COVID-19

The global outbreakCOVID-19 pandemic (“COVID”) has had and may continue to have an adverse impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as on the operations and financial performance of COVID-19 was declared amany of the customers and suppliers in industries that we serve. The COVID pandemic by the World Health Organizationcontinues to present business challenges, and a national emergency by the U.S. governmentwe continue to experience impacts related to COVID, primarily in March 2020 and has negatively impacted the U.S. and global economy, disruptedhigher raw material prices, disruptions in global supply chains, resulteddelays in significantsupplier deliveries, delays in deliveries to customers, travel restrictions, quarantine restrictions, labor shortages and transport restrictions, including mandated closures and orders to “shelter-in-place,” and created significant disruption of the financial markets.employee absences.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,COVID, the Company’s operations in India were closed on March 23, 2020 and resumed limited operations on May 7, 2020 with a reduced level of staffing. By the end of June 2020, the Company’s India facilities were fully operational; however, the recent India COVID-19 surge does present a potential risk.operational. Post COVID-19Post-COVID revenue and bookings declined;declined, and cost savingcost-saving measures were taken. Despite the decline in revenue and bookings associated with the foregoing suspension of operations in India and other COVID-19 impacts on our business, the Company does not anticipate COVID-19 having a significant ongoing impact on the Company’s future results. However, the ultimate effect on our future results could be significant and will largely depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19, the success of actions taken to contain or treat COVID-19 and its variants including the


widespread availability and use of effective vaccines, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital markets.

In accordance with the Department of Defense (“DoD”) guidance issued in March 2020 designating the Defense Industrial Base as a critical infrastructure workforce, our U.S. production facilities have continued to operate in support of essential products and services required to meet national security commitments to the U.S. Government and the U.S. military; however, facility closures or work slowdowns or temporary stoppages have occurred and could occur in the future. In addition, other countries have different practices and policies that can affect our international operations and the operations of our suppliers and customers. In some cases, our facilities are not operating under full staffing as a result of COVID-19. Customer visits and representative training are being impacted by travel restrictions as a result of COVID-19, which could delay new design wins and future business with our customers.

The Company has taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, work with our customers to minimize potential disruptions and support our community in addressing the challenges posed by this global pandemic. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to execute our contracts in the expected timeframe, will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. Government, state and local government officials and international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

An extended period of global supply chain disruption caused by the response to COVID-19 could impact our ability to perform on our contracts. To date, we have identified a number of suppliers that have potential delivery impacts due to COVID-19 and, if we are not able to implement alternatives or other mitigations, contract deliveries could be adversely impacted.

Delays in inspection, acceptance and payment by our customers, many of whom are teleworking, could also affect our sales and cash flows. This is particularly an issue with respect to classified work that is unable to be done remotely. Limitations on government operations can also impact regulatory approvals such as export licenses that are needed for international sales and deliveries. In addition, we could experience delays in new contract starts or awards of future work as well as the uncertain impact of contract modifications to respond to the national emergency. Government funding priorities may change as a result of the costs of the COVID-19 pandemic. If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, absenteeism, government actions, facility closures, travel restrictions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations will be impacted. We may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. These cost increases, including costs for employees whose jobs cannot be performed remotely, may not be fully recoverable under our contracts, or adequately covered by insurance. The impact of COVID-19 could worsen if there is an extended duration of any COVID-19 outbreak or a resurgence of COVID-19 infection in affected regions after they have begun to experience improvement.

COVID-19 has also led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which depending on future developments could impact our capital resources and liquidity in the future. COVID-19 has also caused volatility in the equity capital markets. We are monitoring the impacts of COVID-19 on the fair value of our assets. While we do not currently anticipate any material impairments on our assets as a result of COVID-19, future changes in expectations for sales, earnings and cash flows related to intangible assets and goodwill below our current projections could cause these assets to be impaired. While these are our current assumptions, this is an emerging situation and these could change, which could affect our outlook.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2021, our order backlog was $21,347,000, an increase of 7.8% from $19,801,000 at December 31, 2020 and a decrease of 5.1% compared to the backlog of $22,496,000 as of June 30, 2020. Quarterly bookings of $7,841,000 for the second quarter 2021 increased 12.0%above 2020 levels. Bookings have shown sequential improvement, from $7,123,000 last quarter and $5,759,000 in the fourth quarter of 2020, but remain substantially below pre-COVID-19 levels. Improvement in new avionics bookings started last quarter, but deliveries are not being scheduled until early next year; quarterly space market orders also trended upward during 2021.

The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as agreed letters of intent which we have determined are firm orders likely to be fulfilled in the next 12 months.

Order backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any. We expect to fill substantially all of our order backlog within the next twelve months but cannot provide assurances as to what portion of the order backlog will be fulfilled in a given year.

Equity Investment in Unconsolidated Subsidiary

On November 6, 2019, the Company invested $3.35 million in LGL Systems Acquisition Holding Company, LLC, a partially owned subsidiary that serves as the Sponsor of LGL Systems Acquisition Corp., (the “SPAC” or “DFNS”). The SPAC is a publicly-traded company on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “DFNS” which was formed for the purpose of effecting a business combination in the aerospace, defense and communications industries. The Sponsor holds 100% of the SPAC’s Class B common shares, which are restricted and non-tradable, and 5,200,000 private warrants. The Sponsor purchased the private warrants in a private placement that closed simultaneously with the consummation of the SPAC’s initial public offering (“SPAC IPO”). Each private warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock of the SPAC at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The Company contributed 62.2% of the Sponsor’s risk capital to effect the SPAC IPO and holds a 43.57% membership interest in the Sponsor.


The SPAC IPO closedultimate impact of COVID on November 12, 2019; proceeds from the SPAC IPO totaled $172.5 million. If the SPAC doesour operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not complete a business combination within 24 months from the closingour control, including, but not limited to, duration of the SPAC IPO,pandemic, potential subsequent waves of COVID infection or potential new variants, the proceeds from the saleeffectiveness and adoption of the private warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the shares sold in the SPAC IPO (subject to the requirements of applicable law);COVID vaccines and the private warrants will expire worthless. The Sponsor holds 20% of the total common shares (Class Atherapeutics, governmental, business and Class B) in the SPAC along with the 5,200,000 private warrants.

The Company also subscribed to a $2.725 million investment into the Sponsor in March 2021, which it funded in May 2021. The investment will be part of the Sponsor syndication of $5.66 million organized to participate in a $125 million private placement (“PIPE”) purchase of 12,500,000 shares of DFNS Class A common stock.

The PIPE is in connection with the recent announcement by DFNSindividuals’ actions that have been and IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. (“IronNet”) of the definitive business combination agreement reached between IronNet and DFNS. The PIPE and business combination are expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, after the required approval by the shareholders of DFNS and the fulfillment of certain other conditions. While the syndicated PIPE investment increases the Company’s commitment to the pro forma IronNet company, its position is not expectedcontinue to be material to the pro forma capitalization. Upon completion of the business combination, which is subject to regulatory and other approvals, the combined company will be renamed IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc. and will be listed on the NYSE and trade under the ticker symbol “IRNT”.

The Sponsor is managed by LGL Systems Nevada Management Partners LLC (“Nevada GP”), an affiliated entity deemed to be under the significant influence of Marc Gabelli, the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board, who is also a greater than 10% stockholder of the Company. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Sponsor, as Nevada GP has the power to direct the activities of the Sponsor that most significantly impact the Sponsor’s economic performance through an operating agreement. The Company, therefore, accounts for the Sponsor under the equity method of accounting. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized a loss on equity investment in unconsolidated subsidiary of $752,000 and $139,000, respectively. The increase represents legal and other costs related to the planned third quarter DFNS and IronNet business combination. The Company has recognized a cumulative loss of $1,030,000 on its investment in the unconsolidated Sponsor as of June 30, 2021.

Margin improvement was from favorable product mix and cost reductions including the elimination of certain previously required redundancies to preserve manufacturing capabilitiestaken in response to the COVID-19 impactspandemic (including shutdown orders, border closings, restrictions on travel and transport and workplace restrictions) and resulting supplier impacts. In addition, to the extent global vaccination programs do not achieve intended results and a longer period of economic and global supply chain and related disruption continues, the more adverse the impact will be on our business.

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $48,000 and $871,000, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, we had current assets of $31,719,000, current liabilities of $3,282,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 9.66 to 1.00.

Management continues to focus on efficiently managing working capital requirements to match operating activity levels and will seek to deploy the Company’s working capital where it will generate the greatest returns.


The Company has a loan agreement for a revolving line of credit with Synovus Bank for up to $3.5 million bearing interest at the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) 30-day rate plus 2.50%, with a floor of 0.50%. The loan agreement has a maturity date of May 12, 2022 and contains certain financial covenants. Borrowings under the loan agreement are secured by all of the property of two of the Company’s subsidiaries, M-tron Industries, Inc. and Piezo Technology, Inc. At June 30, 2021, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under its revolving line of credit with Synovus Bank.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, cash generated from operations and availability under our revolving credit agreement will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this filing. However, we are continuing to monitor the outbreak of COVID-19 and its impact on our customers and suppliers, as well as our industry as a whole. To the extent that our customers and suppliers continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak, such impacts could materially disrupt our business.

Our board of directors has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends. This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential technology acquisitions or other strategic ventures, and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings. No cash dividends have been paid to the Company's stockholders since January 30, 1989, and none are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.
