PART I
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND CERTAIN SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments and items noted below under “Use of Estimates and Assumptions”) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, and the cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and have been applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Use of Estimates and Assumptions
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
In December 2009, the Company entered into a $500,000 Principal 8% Per Year Senior Secured Convertible Note with Tracciare, Inc. with an original maturity date of May 31, 2011. In addition, the Company received a warrant to purchase up to eighty percent of Tracciare’s equity for a total price of $500,000. In March 2011, the note was amended to extend the maturity date to June 30, 2013. At December 31, 2012, Tracciare, Inc. had drawn all of the $500,000 note, along with additional fundings in the amount of $833,941, all under separate notes with the same terms and agreements as the original note and amendment. Beginning in May 2012 PHAZAR CORP significantly decreased the amount of funding that it provided to Tracciare under the notes. PHAZAR CORP envisioned that it would provide very little additional capital to Tracciare in the future. Given Tracciare’s cash requirements and lack of a foreseeable source of capital for Tracciare, PHAZAR CORP found it highly unlikely that it would recover any significant amount on the note receivable when it comes due on June 30, 2013. As a result, as of December 31, 2012, the collectability of the note receivable was determined to be unlikely and management provided a $1,516,338 impairment reserve against the note receivable.
As of June 30, 2012, PHAZAR CORP had deferred tax assets of $787,291 with a valuation allowance of $273,861 against the deferred tax assets related to the net operating losses. The valuation allowance had been established for the deferred tax assets related to net operating losses because PHAZAR CORP could not demonstrate that it would be more likely than not that this deferred tax asset would be realized. During the second quarter of the year ending June 30, 2013, PHAZAR CORP has reported large operating losses and projected cash flow shortfalls in the near future. Based on those facts, it was unlikely the remaining net deferred tax assets would be realized. Therefore, an additional valuation allowance of $513,221 was recorded. PHAZAR CORP has recorded a deferred tax expense in the amount $513,430 as a result of the additional valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012.
The Company changed its policy in estimating slow moving inventory to more accurately value inventory that may have become impaired or obsolete due to advancing technology or changes in demand of product by some customers. The new policy to estimate the slow moving reserve is based on a sliding scale reserve that increases on a separate and distinct level as raw material and finished goods age. As such, during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company incurred a charge of $600,000.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from short-term contracts calling for delivery of products is recognized as the product is shipped. Revenue and costs under certain long-term fixed price contracts with the United States Government are recognized on the units of delivery method. This method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of the products delivered during each period and the costs allocable to the delivered units as the cost of earned revenue. Costs allocable to undelivered units are reported in the balance sheet as inventories. Amounts in excess of agreed upon contract price for customer directed changes, constructive changes, customer delays or other causes of additional contract costs are recognized in contract value if it is probable that a claim for such amounts will result in additional revenue and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Revisions in cost and profit estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts requiring the revision become known and are estimable. Losses on contracts are recorded when identified.
NOTE 2 NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
Earnings per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, as follows:

NOTE 3 CONTINGENCIES
Legal Proceedings

NOTE 4 NOTE PAYABLE
On February 20, 2013, PHAZAR CORP received a going private merger offer from a company controlled by Mr. Robert Fitzgerald, the CEO of the Company. On March 13, 2013 the independent directors of PHAZAR CORP (“Company”) approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Under the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of the Company will receive consideration of $1.25 per share in cash.
The Merger Agreement provided that a Promissory Note from QAR Industries, Inc. to the Company would be part of the consideration for the transaction. According to the Merger Agreement, QAR Industries, Inc. would loan a principal amount of $500,000 to the Company at an interest rate of four and one-quarter percent (4.25%) with a maturity date of July 31, 2013. The Note is secured by two Deeds of Trust, one granted by Antenna Products Corporation, covering real property in Palo Pinto County, Texas, and one granted by Thirco, Inc., covering real property lying in both Palo Pinto County, Texas and Parker County, Texas. None of the personal property of the Company is used to secure the Promissory Note. The Promissory Note was fully funded on March 18, 2013.

| Item 2. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that affected the Company’s financial condition and operating results for the periods included in the consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
As reported on a Schedule 13D filed by Robert Fitzgerald on February 20, 2013, PHAZAR CORP received a going private merger offer from a company controlled by Mr. Fitzgerald. On March 13, 2013 the independent directors of PHAZAR CORP (“Company”) approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger. Under the Merger Agreement, the shareholders of the Company will receive consideration of $1.25 per share in cash in immediately available funds.
As disclosed on Form 8-K dated March 19, 3013, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which the Company will go private and the existing shareholders of the Company will receive $1.25 per share in cash for their shares in the Company. Consummation of the going private transaction is subject to many factors including shareholder approval.
On April 2, 2013, the Company filed a preliminary proxy statement on Form 14A and the Company, QAR Industries, Inc., Antenna Products Acquisition Corp., Robert E. Fitzgerald and Concorde Equity II, LLC jointly filed a Schedule 13E-3.

Cost of sales and contracts from operations were $956,228 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $651,211 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, up $305,017, or 47% attributable to higher level of sales and an increase in plant utilization overhead charged to cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin for the quarter, at 42% is down fourteen basis points from the 56% gross profit margin reported in the comparable period last year.
Selling, general and administration expenses were down 41% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, to $659,296 from $1,113,677 in the prior year, reflecting an increase in plant utilization overhead charged to cost of goods sold, lower level of wages and stock compensation expense partially offset by higher level of legal and professional costs for the comparative quarters. Discretionary product development spending for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 was $172,553, or 11% of sales, compared to $171,075, or 12% of sales for the comparable period last year.

The Company’s sales fell by $694,618, or 14% attributable to a $1,116,454 non-recurring antenna shipment to EID-Portugal in fiscal year 2012 partially offset by an upturn in commercial wireless, shipboard and safety climb product lines during fiscal year 2013.
Costs of sales and contracts from operations were $3,207,190 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2,703,592 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, up $503,598, or 19%. The increase is attributed to the $600,000 slow moving inventory reserve recorded in in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 and an increase in plant utilization overhead offset by a decline in revenues over the nine month period. The gross profit margin for the nine month period ended March 31, 2013, at 25% was down twenty one basis points compared to the gross profit margin of 46% for the same period in the prior year.

The $787,791 decline related to an increase in plant utilization overhead charged to cost of goods sold, along with a lower level of wages and stock compensation expense partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fees for the nine month period ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same nine month period in prior year. The impairment of note receivable reflects a $1,547,513 impairment charge on the Tracciare, Inc. note receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
As previously discussed, the Company has entered into an agreement by which it will go private no later than July 31, 2013, provided it receives shareholder approval. The Company currently anticipates that it has adequate operating capital through the close of the transaction. But should the Company experience unexpected operational difficulties or delays in the transaction closing or if the transaction is not consummated for any reason, the Company will most likely need additional capital, including capital to repay the $500,000 loan received from QAR Industries, Inc. which carries a maturity date of July 31, 2013. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to procure additional capital and if it is successful, it is likely that such capital will be highly dilutive to current shareholders.
Capital Requirements
Management of the operating subsidiaries evaluates the facilities and reviews equipment requirements for existing and projected contracts on a regular basis. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2013, there were no capital expenditures for new and replacement equipment compared to $84,560 in capital expenditures in the comparable period of fiscal year 2012.
At March 31, 2013, PHAZAR CORP had cash and cash equivalents of $683,499. There was $262,341 of deferred revenues at March 31, 2013 and $500,000 in funds received from QAR Industries, Inc. Promissory Note funded on March 18, 2013.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash and cash equivalents of $683,499 at March 31, 2013 are up $154,623, or 29% compared to a balance of $528,876 as of June 30, 2012. The primary components of the increase in cash at the end of the period consists of $500,000 of cash provided from the funding of a promissory note from QAR Industries, Inc. offset by $275,025 of cash used in operating activities, consisting of a $277,739 increase in inventories (net of slow moving reserve) associated with work in process jobs scheduled to ship later in the fiscal year and a $138,489 decrease in accounts payable.
Investing Activities
Cash of $70,352 was used in investing activities during the nine month period ended March 31, 2013, which consists of $70,352 of funding for the note receivable.

Management’s Evaluation of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and disposition of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations.

The scope of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting includes all of our Company’s subsidiaries.

Subject to the above, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting are effective as of the end of the reporting period ended March 31, 2013.
