	(1)     Basis of Presentation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to make the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 30, 2013.
	The Company has incurred net losses of $1.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2014, which has contributed to an accumulated deficit of $16.3 million at September 28, 2013 and has resulted in the Company using cash in its operations of approximately $1.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. These matters along with recurring losses in prior years, raise substantial doubts as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
	To address this matter, Management has taken several actions to provide additional working capital during the current fiscal year, and reduce the costs and expenses going forward. These actions are described in the following discussion.
	On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Teradyne Inc. (“Teradyne”), whereby Teradyne agreed to purchase the Giga-tronics Division product line known as SCPM for $1.0 million, resulting in a net gain of $816,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. In April 2013 the Company received $800,000 in proceeds at the closing of the transaction upon delivery of electronic data associated with the purchase. (see Note 4, Gain on Sale of Product Line).
	To enable the Company to continue borrowing over the next two fiscal years, on June 11, 2013 the Company negotiated an extension of the maturity date on its line of credit from October 12, 2012 to April 15, 2015, and increased the maximum advances associated with the Company’s accounts receivable from $2.0 million to $3.0 million (see Note 10, Line of Credit).
	To provide additional working capital for operations, on July 8, 2013 the Company received $837,000 in net cash proceeds from Alara Capital AVI II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”). Under a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), the Company sold to the Investor 5,111.86 shares of a new Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 511,186 additional shares of common stock at the price of $1.43 per share. (see Note 12, Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and Warrants).
	To assist with the upfront purchases of inventory required for future product deliveries, the Company has entered into advance payment arrangements with a large customer, whereby the customer reimburses the Company for raw material purchases prior to the shipment of the finished products. In fiscal 2013 these advance payments totaled approximately $2.3 million. In fiscal 2014 the Company has contracted approximately $1.2 million of advance payments, and will seek similar terms with future agreements with this customer, and other customers.
	On May 31, 2013 the Company completed the consolidation of its Santa Rosa, California facility into its headquarters in San Ramon, California. The Company expects to save approximately $500,000 annually in facility costs, and the Company expects other operational efficiencies associated with having the majority of the company’s operations at one location.
	The Company is also currently negotiating the sale of a Giga-tronics Division legacy product line (which Management believes is not strategic to the Company’s long-term success) in order to raise additional capital that would be used in operations and to fund, in part, the development of the Company’s new product platform. There are no assurances that the sale will be competed in fiscal 2014, if at all.
	Management also plans to further improve asset management by continuing to reduce product inventories that are on hand at September 28, 2013. In addition, Management will continue to review all aspects of the business in an effort to improve cash flow and, reduce costs and expenses, while continuing to invest, to the extent possible, in new product development for future revenue streams.
	The Company continues to invest heavily in the development and the manufacturing preparations for the new product platform, which is currently projected to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2014, the Company has experienced delays in the development of this product. If the completion of the product development is delayed further beyond fiscal 2014, the Company would need to further reduce expenses in order to offset the loss of forecasted revenue.
	The current year losses and the impacts of recurring losses in prior years have had a significant negative impact on the financial condition of the Company and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that through the actions to date and possible future actions described above, the Company should have the necessary liquidity to continue its operations at least for the next twelve months, though no assurances can be made in this regard. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments if the Company were unable to do so.
	Fiscal Year The Company’s financial reporting year consists of either a 52 week or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday of the month of March. Fiscal year 2014, ending on March 29, 2014 is a 52 week year, and fiscal year 2013, ended on March 30, 2012 was a 52 week year. Quarterly periods within each such fiscal year are in most cases 13 weeks as opposed to three calendar months. All references to three month period, six month period and years in the consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal periods or years rather than three month calendar quarters, six calendar months or calendar years.
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards In July, 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists.”  U.S. GAAP does not include explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this ASU state that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows. To the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This standard applies to all entities that have unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company's historic presentation is consistent with this new standard. Thus, the effect of adopting this standard had no impact on the Company and the Company effectively adopted this standard as of March 31, 2013.

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]	'
Revenue Recognition [Text Block]	'
	(2)     Revenue Recognition
	Revenues are recognized when there is evidence of an arrangement, delivery has occurred, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. This generally occurs when products are shipped and the risk of loss has passed. Revenue related to products shipped subject to customers’ evaluation is recognized upon final acceptance. Revenue recognized under the milestone method is recognized once milestones are met. Determining whether a milestone is substantive is a matter of judgment and that assessment is performed only at the inception of the arrangement. The consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone must meet all of the following for the milestone to be considered substantive:
		a.	It is commensurate with either of the following:
		●	The Company’s performance to achieve the milestone.
		●	The enhancement of the value of the delivered item or items as a result of a specific outcome resulting from the Company's performance to achieve the milestone.
		b.	It relates solely to past performance.
		c.	It is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential milestone consideration) within the arrangement.
	Milestones for revenue recognition are agreed upon with the customer prior to the start of the contract and some milestones will be tied to product shipping while others will be tied to design review.
	The Company provides for estimated costs that may be incurred for product warranties at the time of shipment. The Company’s warranty policy generally provides twelve to eighteen months depending on the customer. The estimated cost of warranty coverage is based on the Company’s actual historical experience with its current products or similar products. For new products, the required reserve is based on historical experience of similar products until such time as sufficient historical data has been collected on the new product. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available.

	On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Teradyne, whereby Teradyne agreed to purchase the Giga-tronics Division product line known as SCPM for $1.0 million, resulting in a net gain of $816,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. In April 2013 the Company received $800,000 in proceeds at the closing of the transaction upon delivery of electronic data associated with the purchase. The Company also earned an additional $50,000 associated with training of Teradyne employees, offset by $34,000 of associated costs. The balance of the consideration ($150,000) is subject to a hold back arrangement until December 31, 2013 to cover certain contingent liabilities, if any, and delivery of certain inventory. During the three months ended September 28, 2013 the Company delivered to Teradyne all of the associated inventory, and recorded $53,000 of revenue and $53,000 of cost of sales. The remaining $150,000 payment due has not been recognized as income by the Company as of September 28, 2013, and is expected to be recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 upon Teradyne’s agreement to remove the hold back provisions.
	Net sales for the SCPM product line were $386,000 and $816,000 for the three and six month periods ended September 29, 2012, respectively. There were no SCPM product line sales in the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 except for the inventory delivery mentioned above.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]	'
	(5)     Loss Per Share
	Basic earnings or loss per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued if unvested restricted shares became vested and dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised using the treasury stock method. In the case of a net loss, it is assumed that no incremental shares would be issued because they would be antidilutive. The shares used in per share computations are as follows:
		Three Month Periods Ended						Six Month Periods Ended
	(In thousands except per share data)	September 28,			September 29,			September 28,			September 29,
		2013			2012			2013			2012

	Potential common shares		-			-			-			-

	Net loss per common share - diluted	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.21	)	$	(0.35	)	$	(0.35	)
	Stock options not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		1,798			1,522			1,798			1,522
	Restricted stock awards not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		122			50			122			50
	Convertible preferred stock not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		1,853			1,000			1,853			1,000
	Warrants not included in computation that could potentially dilute EPS in the future		1,017			849			1,017			849
	The number of restricted stock awards, stock options and warrants not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 is a result of the Company’s net loss and, therefore, the restricted stock awards, stock options, warrants are anti-dilutive. In addition, of the restricted stock awards, 50,000 shares are considered contingently issuable shares for which the performance conditions necessary for the awards to vest had not been met as of September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012. The number of convertible preferred shares not included in the computation of diluted EPS for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 reflects convertible preferred stock where the assumed proceeds from conversion were greater than the average market price of the common shares and are, therefore, anti-dilutive.

	(6)     Share Based Compensation
	The Company has established the 2000 Stock Option Plan and the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, which provide for the granting of options and restricted stock for up to 1,750,000 shares of common stock at 100% of fair market value at the date of grant, with each grant requiring approval by the Board of Directors of the Company. Option grants under the 2000 Stock Option Plan are no longer available. Options granted generally vest in one or more installments in a four or five year period and must be exercised while the grantee is employed by the Company or within a certain period after termination of employment. Options granted to employees shall not have terms in excess of 10 years from the grant date. Holders of options may be granted stock appreciation rights (SARs), which entitle them to surrender outstanding awards for a cash distribution under certain changes in ownership of the Company, as defined in the stock option plan. As of September 28, 2013, no SAR’s have been granted under the option plan. As of September 28, 2013, the total number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan is 119,677. All outstanding options have either a five year or a ten year life. The Company records compensation cost associated with share-based compensation equivalent to the estimated fair value of the awards over the requisite service period.
	Stock Options
	There were options for 258,750 shares granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and options for 395,750 shares granted in the first half of fiscal 2014 with weighted average grant date fair values of $1.03 and $1.11, respectively. There were options for 325,500 shares granted in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and options for 411,000 shares granted in the first half of fiscal 2013 with weighted average grant date fair values of $0.89 and $0.88, respectively.
	Included in the options granted for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 are performance-based options for 80,000 shares and 100,000 shares granted as an inducement to a new employee’s which were outside of the 2005 Plan. A portion of the options shall vest following the filing of the Company’s Form 10K for fiscal 2015 provided certain bookings goals are achieved by the Company. No compensation cost was recognized for these stock options during the three or six month periods ended September 28, 2013 because management believes it is not more than likely than not that the performance criteria will be met.
	In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:
		Three Month Periods Ended						Six Month Periods Ended
		September 28,			September 29,			September 28,			September 29,

	The computation of expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The expected term is estimated based on a review of historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates with maturity similar to the expected term of the option on the date of grant.
	A summary of the changes in stock options outstanding for the six month period ended September 28, 2013 and the year ended March 30, 2013 is as follows:

	As of September 28, 2013, there was $878,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options and restricted stock granted under the 2005 Plan and outside of the 2005 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.0 years. There were 121,375 options that vested during the quarter ended September 28, 2013. There were 42,750 options that vested during the quarter ended September 29, 2012. The total fair value of options vested during the quarters ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 was $142,000 and $54,000, respectively. There were 322,025 options that vested during the six month period ended September 28, 2013. There were 81,875 options that vested during the six month period ended September 29, 2012. The total fair value of options vested during the six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 was $367,000 and $111,000, respectively. No cash was received from the exercise of stock options for the three or six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012, respectively, and related excess tax benefits or deficiencies were not significant. Share based compensation cost recognized in operating results for the three month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 totaled $166,000 and $75,000, respectively. Share based compensation cost recognized in operating results for the six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 totaled $280,000 and $131,000, respectively.
	During the three month period ended September 28, 2013, the vesting for 40,000 options was accelerated in connection with a termination agreement with a former employee. This modification did not result in any incremental compensation expense, however $38,000 of stock-based compensation expense was accelerated and recognized during the three month period ended September 28, 2013.
	Restricted Stock
	The Company granted 71,500 shares of restricted stock during the first half of fiscal 2014 to certain members of the Board of Directors in lieu of cash compensation for services to be performed in fiscal 2014. The weighted average grant date fair value was $1.53. The Company also granted 30,000 shares of unrestricted stock during the first half of fiscal 2014 as part of a severance agreement with a former employee. The 30,000 shares did not have a restriction period because they vested immediately on the grant date, but are included in the roll forward schedule of restricted stock below because they were granted under the 2005 Plan. No restricted stock awards were granted in the first half of fiscal 2013. The restricted stock awards are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value at the grant date is amortized over the requisite service period net of estimated forfeitures. Compensation cost was recognized for the restricted and unrestricted stock awards for the three and six month periods ending September 28, 2013 totaling $31,000 and $48,000, respectively. No compensation cost was recognized for the restricted stock awards during the first half of fiscal 2013 because management did not believe it was probable that certain performance criteria would be met for the then non-vested restricted stock awards.
	A summary of the changes in non-vested restricted stock awards outstanding for the six month period ended September 28, 2013 and for the fiscal years ended March 30, 2013 is as follows:
		Shares			Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
	Non-vested at March 31, 2012		60,000		$	2.4

	(8)     Income Taxes
	The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as codified in Topic 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
	The Company’s tax expense for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 was $0 and $2,000, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six month periods ended September 28, 2013 and September 29, 2012 was 0%, which differed from the Federal statutory rate of 34% due to a valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax asset balance.
	As of September 28, 2013, the Company did not record any unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The unrecognized tax benefit is netted against the non-current deferred tax asset on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company has not recorded a liability for any penalties or interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does have a California Franchise Tax Board audit that is currently in process. The Company is working with the California Franchise Tax Board to resolve all audit issues and does not believe any material taxes, penalties and fees are due.

	The Company took steps to reduce current and future expenses by reducing staff in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, and by combining the operations in Santa Rosa into the San Ramon facility. This physical move was completed on May 31, 2013. Certain employee retention agreements will extend through December 2013. Substantially all of the restructuring costs are for the Microsource reportable segment. As of September 28, 2013 the Company had accrued $773,000 related to these restructuring costs, the amount recognized for the three months period ended on September 28, 2013 was $129,000, consisting of $104,000 for the restoration of the Santa Rosa facility, $20,000 of retention agreements for employees, $3,000 preparation of San Ramon facility, and $2,000 moving expenses.

	On June 11, 2013 the Company entered into an amendment to the Second Amended Credit Facility (the “New Amended Credit Facility”) with Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”). The New Amended Credit Facility amended the Second Amended Credit Facility by expanding the definition of eligible accounts, increasing the maximum limit, and extending the maturity date. The New Amended Credit Facility, which expires on April 15, 2015, is secured by all assets of the Company and provides for a borrowing capacity equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable on an aggregate basis, up to a maximum $3.0 million, provided the Company maintains borrowing base eligibility, that is, a minimum cash balance of $750,000.
	The Second Amended Credit Facility and New Amended Credit Facilitycontain a collateral handling fee of one-tenth of one percent (0.10%) on outstanding financed receivables for each calendar month based upon a 360 day year. When the Company is borrowing base eligible, the collateral handling fee is not applicable. Interest accrues on the average outstanding borrowings at a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of the Prime Rate plus two percent (2.00%) or six percent (6.00%). Any borrowings under the New Amended Credit Facility can be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date.  As of September 28, 2013, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the New Amended Credit Facility were $595,000, all of which was classified as long-term. As of March 30, 2013, the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Second Amended Credit Facility were $857,000, of which $280,000 is classified as long-term because of management’s ability to refinance the line of credit with the amended facility discussed above, and $577,000 is classified as a current liability because it had been repaid prior to the refinance occurring. As of September 28, 2013, the maximum borrowing capacity under the Line of Credit was $1,067,000, of which $472,000 was available.

	(11)    Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and a line of credit. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability. The Company uses fair value measurements based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access as of the measurement date (Level 1), significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data (Level 2), or significant unobservable inputs reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (Level 3), depending on the nature of the item being valued.
	The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and line of credit approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments and/or their variable interest rates.

	(12)    Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and Warrants
	On July 8, 2013 the Company received $837,000 in net cash proceeds from Alara Capital AVI II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”). Under a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), the Company sold to the Investor 5,111.86 shares of a new Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (Series D Preferred Stock) and a warrant to purchase up to 511,186 additional shares of common stock at the price of $1.43 per share (the “New Warrant”).
	Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is initially convertible at the option of the holder into 100 shares of the Company’s common stock. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar transactions. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $143. If the Company pays a dividend on its common stock prior to January 1, 2014 or on or after January 1, 2014, it would be required to pay a dividend on the Series D Preferred Stock equal to 110% or 100%, respectively, of the cash dividend that would be payable on the number of shares of common stock into which each share of Series D Preferred Stock is then convertible. The Series D Preferred Stock generally votes together with the common stock, the Company’s Series B Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and the Company’s Series C Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock on an as-converted to common stock basis, on each matter submitted to the vote or approval of the holders of common stock, and would vote as a separate class with respect to certain actions that adversely affect the rights of the Series D Preferred Stock and on other matters as required by law.
	The Company also issued to the Investor the New Warrant to purchase up to 511,186 additional shares of common stock of the Company. The exercise price of the New Warrant is $1.43 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassifications and similar events. The New Warrant will expire January 7, 2016.
	Under the terms of the SPA, the Company and the Investor agreed to terminate the Investor’s right to acquire 506,219 common shares at $3.30 per share from a previously issued warrant (the “Existing Warrant”) and issue a warrant to purchase 506,219 common shares at $1.43 per share (the “Amended Warrant”). The Amended Warrant was issued in July 2013and will expire on August 7, 2015, if and to the extent not exercised earlier.
	The Company recorded the issuance of the Series D Preferred Stock using an allocation of the proceeds based on the relative fair values of each of the components included in the consideration given to the Investor.  These components included the Preferred Stock which was ascribed an estimated fair value of $269,000, the conversion feature which was ascribed an estimated fair value of $558,000, the New Warrant which was ascribed an estimated fair value of $349,000 and the Amended Warrant, which was ascribed an estimated fair value of $248,000 representing the incremental fair value of the Amended Warrant over the Existing warrant that was terminated.
	The allocation of the $858,000 in proceeds from issuance of Series D Preferred Stock based on the relative fair values noted above resulted in an allocation of $498,000 (which was recorded net of $41,000 of issuance costs) to Series D Preferred Stock and $360,000 to Common Stock.  In addition, because the effective conversion rate based on the $498,000 allocated to Series D Preferred Stock was $0.97 per common share which was less than the Company’s stock price on the date of issuance, a beneficial conversion feature was present at the issuance date.  The beneficial conversion feature totaled $238,000 and was recorded as a reduction of common stock and an increase to accumulated deficit.
	As of September 28, 2013 the Investor’s beneficial ownership is approximately 36.2% of the Company’s common stock, assuming that New Warrant and Amended Warrant are exercised.

	The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics Incorporated (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to make the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 30, 2013.
	The Company has incurred net losses of $1.8 million in the first half of fiscal 2014, which has contributed to an accumulated deficit of $16.3 million at September 28, 2013 and has resulted in the Company using cash in its operations of approximately $1.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. These matters along with recurring losses in prior years, raise substantial doubts as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
	To address this matter, Management has taken several actions to provide additional working capital during the current fiscal year, and reduce the costs and expenses going forward. These actions are described in the following discussion.
	On March 18, 2013, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Teradyne Inc. (“Teradyne”), whereby Teradyne agreed to purchase the Giga-tronics Division product line known as SCPM for $1.0 million, resulting in a net gain of $816,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. In April 2013 the Company received $800,000 in proceeds at the closing of the transaction upon delivery of electronic data associated with the purchase. (see Note 4, Gain on Sale of Product Line).
	To enable the Company to continue borrowing over the next two fiscal years, on June 11, 2013 the Company negotiated an extension of the maturity date on its line of credit from October 12, 2012 to April 15, 2015, and increased the maximum advances associated with the Company’s accounts receivable from $2.0 million to $3.0 million (see Note 10, Line of Credit).
	To provide additional working capital for operations, on July 8, 2013 the Company received $837,000 in net cash proceeds from Alara Capital AVI II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Investor”). Under a Securities Purchase Agreement (“SPA”), the Company sold to the Investor 5,111.86 shares of a new Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to 511,186 additional shares of common stock at the price of $1.43 per share. (see Note 12, Series D Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock and Warrants).
	To assist with the upfront purchases of inventory required for future product deliveries, the Company has entered into advance payment arrangements with a large customer, whereby the customer reimburses the Company for raw material purchases prior to the shipment of the finished products. In fiscal 2013 these advance payments totaled approximately $2.3 million. In fiscal 2014 the Company has contracted approximately $1.2 million of advance payments, and will seek similar terms with future agreements with this customer, and other customers.
	On May 31, 2013 the Company completed the consolidation of its Santa Rosa, California facility into its headquarters in San Ramon, California. The Company expects to save approximately $500,000 annually in facility costs, and the Company expects other operational efficiencies associated with having the majority of the company’s operations at one location.
	The Company is also currently negotiating the sale of a Giga-tronics Division legacy product line (which Management believes is not strategic to the Company’s long-term success) in order to raise additional capital that would be used in operations and to fund, in part, the development of the Company’s new product platform. There are no assurances that the sale will be competed in fiscal 2014, if at all.
	Management also plans to further improve asset management by continuing to reduce product inventories that are on hand at September 28, 2013. In addition, Management will continue to review all aspects of the business in an effort to improve cash flow and, reduce costs and expenses, while continuing to invest, to the extent possible, in new product development for future revenue streams.
	The Company continues to invest heavily in the development and the manufacturing preparations for the new product platform, which is currently projected to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2014, the Company has experienced delays in the development of this product. If the completion of the product development is delayed further beyond fiscal 2014, the Company would need to further reduce expenses in order to offset the loss of forecasted revenue.
	The current year losses and the impacts of recurring losses in prior years have had a significant negative impact on the financial condition of the Company and raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management believes that through the actions to date and possible future actions described above, the Company should have the necessary liquidity to continue its operations at least for the next twelve months, though no assurances can be made in this regard. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments if the Company were unable to do so.
	Fiscal Year The Company’s financial reporting year consists of either a 52 week or 53 week period ending on the last Saturday of the month of March. Fiscal year 2014, ending on March 29, 2014 is a 52 week year, and fiscal year 2013, ended on March 30, 2012 was a 52 week year. Quarterly periods within each such fiscal year are in most cases 13 weeks as opposed to three calendar months. All references to three month period, six month period and years in the consolidated financial statements relate to fiscal periods or years rather than three month calendar quarters, six calendar months or calendar years.
	Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
