NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended March 31, 2012. In the opinion of management, the statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments necessary in order to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2012 and the results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011.
The results of operations for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2013.
The Company reports its fiscal quarters for the 13-week period ending on the Saturday nearest June 30, September 30 and December 31. As a result, the first and fourth quarter may be more or less than 13 weeks, by 1 to 6 days, which can affect comparability between periods. The first quarter of Fiscal 2013 reflects 91 days as compared to the first quarter of Fiscal 2012 which reflects 93 days. The Company’s current fiscal year end is March 31, 2013.
The Company evaluated its June 30, 2012 financial statements for subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Other than the events described in footnote 16, the Company is not aware of any subsequent events which would require recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.
2. PLAN OF MERGER
On June 8, 2012, the Company, Mercury Computer Systems, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Mercury"), and Wildcat Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Mercury will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $14.80 per share in cash, without interest, and pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercury (the "Merger").
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Company's Board of Directors, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), and as a result thereof, each share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Micronetics Common Stock") that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Micronetics Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Mercury or any subsidiary of the Company, which will be canceled without payment of any consideration, and Micronetics Common Stock for which dissenters' rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn) will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive $14.80 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), subject to adjustment under certain conditions as described in the Merger Agreement. Each option to purchase Micronetics Common Stock that is vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including options which by their terms vest immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a "Vested Option") shall be canceled at the Effective Time and, in exchange therefore, each former holder of any such canceled Vested Option shall be entitled to receive, in cash, the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Vested Option multiplied by the number of shares of Micronetics Common Stock subject to such Vested Option. Each option to purchase Micronetics Common Stock that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Mercury.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Micronetics Common Stock (the “ Stockholder Approval ”), (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to the Company. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Mercury and the Company, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Mercury in the event the Board of Directors of the Company effects certain changes to its recommendation regarding the Merger, the Company would be required to pay Mercury a termination fee equal to $2,520,000.
A Special Meeting of the Shareholders is scheduled for August 8, 2012 to consider and vote upon the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Item 2.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 12, 2012.
3. PRINCIPAL BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Summary of operations and basis of consolidation—Micronetics, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively the “Company” or “Micronetics”) are engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and marketing of a broad range of high performance wireless components, test equipment and integrated multifunction subassemblies used in cellular, microwave, satellite, radar and communication systems around the world.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Microwave & Video Systems, Inc. (“MVS”), Microwave Concepts, Inc. (“MicroCon”), Stealth Microwave, Inc. (“Stealth”) and MICA Microwave Corporation (“MICA”). All intercompany activity has been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments include revenue recognition, assumptions used in stock option and goodwill valuations, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of property, plant and equipment, intangibles, accrued liabilities, and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Goodwill and intangible assets-Goodwill is recorded when the consideration paid for an acquisition exceeds the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired.
Intangible assets consist of certain identifiable assets resulting from business combinations, including intellectual property, customer relationships and tradename. These assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.
At June 30, 2012 we determined that no new triggering events had occurred warranting an impairment assessment of our intangible assets.
Revenue recognition—The Company generates revenue from the sale of products, technology development, and licensing. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of product has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the customer is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured, and no future services are required. The Company’s products are primarily hardware components and to a lesser extent integrated assemblies which includes microwave hardware and embedded software, that are delivered to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of telecommunication and networking products who are considered to be end users.
The Company occasionally enters into contracts for production of customized microwave and radio frequency components and integrated sub-assemblies for which it records revenue based on the percentage of completion method (assuming all other requirements for revenue recognition have been satisfied) typically using labor hours to measure progress toward completion of the contract as the Company has determined this methodology best reflects the fundamentals of the contract. If estimates to complete the contract change materially from one period to the next, profit levels could significantly vary. We currently have no such contracts in process that require the percentage of completion method for revenue recognition.
Deferred revenue represents billings in excess of revenue recognized.
The Company sells its products using a direct sales force and sales representatives. Contracts with customers do not include product return rights or price protection. The estimated cost of product warranties are accrued based on historical experience at the time the revenue is recognized. Unless customers purchase an extended warranty, Micronetics typically offers a one-year warranty.
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements— In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (ASC Topic 820)-Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” ASU No. 2011-04 amends current fair value measurement and disclosure guidance to include increased transparency around valuation inputs and investment categorization. The changes to the ASC as a result of this update are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income.” This ASU intends to enhance comparability and transparency of other comprehensive income components. The guidance provides an option to present total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement or
two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU eliminates the option to present other comprehensive income components as part of the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. The adoption of this provision did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

|
Depreciation expense associated with property, plant and equipment was approximately $309,000 and $306,000 for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, respectively.
6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL
The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually as of year-end and when an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. No triggering events requiring an interim impairment test occurred in the thirteen week period ended June 30, 2012.

Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2007, the Company entered into a credit facility which consisted of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit. In Fiscal 2009, the revolving line of credit was extended by two years. On August 13, 2010, the revolving line of credit was increased to $7.5 million and was extended until March 31, 2013.
On September 19, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the term loan and revolving line of credit agreement under which the revolving line of credit was increased to $10 million and extended until September 30, 2015. The term loan and revolving line of credit are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The term loan was payable in quarterly principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. The final payment for the term loan was made in April 2012. The revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At June 30, 2012, the interest rate was 2.49%. The Company had approximately $6.4 million available under the line of credit at June 30, 2012.
In April 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $6.5 million to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the term loan. The interest rate swap was not designated as a hedging
instrument at the initiation of the swap, and therefore the Company had not applied hedge accounting. As a result, at the end of each reporting period, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, with any related gains or losses included in earnings. The interest rate swap agreement expired March 30, 2012. Therefore, there was no change in fair value at June 30, 2012 as compared to $34,597 at July 2, 2011.
Under the terms of the amended term loan and the revolving line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.5:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25:1 and a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1. The Company was in compliance with its bank covenants at June 30, 2012.
9. STOCK OPTION PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
During Fiscal 2007, the Company adopted a stock option plan entitled “The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan” (the “2006 Plan”) under which the Company may grant shares of restricted stock or stock options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock. As of June 30, 2012, there were 521,000 options available for grant under the 2006 Plan.
The 2006 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee of the Board of Directors which has the authority to determine the persons to whom the options may be granted, the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each option grant, and the terms and provisions of each option grant. Options granted under the 2006 Plan may be incentive stock options or non-qualified options, and may be issued to employees, consultants, advisors and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries. The exercise price of options granted under the 2006 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and may not be granted more than ten years from the date of adoption of the plan or exercised more than ten years from the date of grant.
The following table sets forth the Company’s stock option activity during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012:

The following table summarizes the classification of stock-based compensation for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended |
| June 30, 2012 | | July 2, 2011 |
Cost of sales | $ | 14,635 |
| | $ | 9,869 |

Selling, general and administrative | 62,095 |
| | 33,542 |
|
Stock-based compensation effect on income before taxes | $ | 76,730 |
| | $ | 43,411 |
|
Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the unvested options at June 30, 2012 is approximately $0.8 million million, and will be recorded over the remaining vesting period of 3.43 years. This estimate is based on the number of unvested options currently outstanding and could change based on the number of options granted or forfeited in the future.
There were no options granted during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and 20,000 options granted during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011. The fair value of options issued was estimated at the date of grant using the following weighted-average assumptions for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 were as follows:
|
| | |
Risk free interest rate | 2.05 - 2.52% |
|
Expected life | 6.25 years |
|
Expected volatility | 67.95 - 68.11% |
|
Forfeiture rate | 2.92 | % |
Expected dividend yield | — | % |
The per share fair value of stock options granted for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 was $2.64.
10. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective tax rate was 52.7% for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 was 36.5%. The effective tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 is based on the projected annual pre-tax income for fiscal year 2013, including the impact of nondeductible merger-related expenses. The effective tax rate could change depending on the outcome of the Special Meeting of the Shareholders scheduled for August 8, 2012 to consider and vote upon the Merger.
The Company is subject to tax in the U.S. Federal and various state jurisdictions. The Company is open to examination for tax years March 31, 2009 through 2012.
As of June 30, 2012, there are no uncertain tax benefits recognized. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any uncertain tax position as a component of income tax expense, if any.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share, or EPS, is computed based on the net income or loss for each period divided by the weighted average actual shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the net income or loss per period divided by the weighted average number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each period unless the effect would be anti-dilutive. Common stock equivalents represent the dilutive effect of the assumed exercise of certain outstanding stock options using the treasury stock method. The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011 are: |
| | | | | | | |
| Thirteen Weeks Ended |
| June 30, 2012 | | July 2, 2011 |
Net (loss) income | $ | (168,941 | ) | | $ | 564,372 |
|
Weighted average shares outstanding | 4,575,663 |
| | 4,558,447 |
|
Basic (loss) earnings per share | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.12 |
|
Common stock equivalents | — |
| | 7,931 |
|
Weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding | 4,575,663 |
| | 4,566,378 |
|
Diluted (loss) earnings per share | $ | (0.04 | ) | | $ | 0.12 |
|
At June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, 457,000 and 126,000 stock options, respectively, were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company assesses fair value as an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, this standard establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes, in descending order, the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs used to measure fair value are unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2 — Inputs used to measure fair value, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date through correlation with market data, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and quoted prices in markets that are not active. Level 2 also includes assets and liabilities that are valued using models or other pricing methodologies that do not require significant judgment since the input assumptions used in the models, such as interest rates and volatility factors, are corroborated by readily observable data from actively quoted markets for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — Inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, include the following as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
June 30, 2012 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | Total Fair Value as of June 30, 2012 |

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
On December 4, 2008, Micronetics, Inc. entered into a lease with SBJ Development, LLC (the “Landlord”) for a new headquarters for Stealth Microwave, Inc., its subsidiary. The property is located in the Township of Ewing, New Jersey. The lease has an initial term of five years and contains three options to extend the lease, each for a term of five years. The annual rent for the initial term of the lease is $225,600.
Kevin Beals, President of Micronetics, is a member of the Landlord. Mr. Beals owns sixteen percent of the outstanding units of membership interest of the Landlord.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Micronetics reviewed and approved the terms of the lease prior to its execution.
14. MAJOR CUSTOMER
The Company sells primarily to original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense electronics marketplace. Many of those customers are prime contractors for defense work or Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations. One customer, ITT Exelis, accounted for 33% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and 33% for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011. This same customer accounted for 31% of the Company’s accounts receivable at June 30, 2012 and 32% of the Company’s accounts receivable at March 31, 2012.
15. LITIGATION
On June 15, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, by Jason Katz, an alleged stockholder of the Company (Katz v. Micronetics, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 7626-VCP). The lawsuit alleges: (i) that the members of our board of directors breached fiduciary duties they allegedly owed in negotiating and approving the Merger Agreement, that the merger consideration negotiated in the Merger Agreement improperly values the Company, that the Company's stockholders will not likely receive adequate or fair value for their Company common stock in the Merger, and that the terms of the Merger Agreement impose improper deal protection devices that will preclude competing offers and (ii) that Mercury and Merger Sub aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Merger and rescission in the event that the Merger has already been consummated prior to the entry of the court's final judgment and an award of damages and costs and expenses, including attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses. On June 29, 2012, a substantially identical purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery by Kambiz Abbassi, another alleged stockholder of the Company (Abbassi v. D'Anne Hurd, et al., C.A. No. 7665-VCP). In addition to similar allegations regarding our board of directors' alleged breaches of fiduciary duties relating to negotiation and approval of the Merger, the Abbassi complaint also alleges that the Company and the board of directors made materially false and misleading disclosures in the preliminary proxy statement. On July 3, 2012, the Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the Katz and Abbassi actions as In re Micronetics, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 7626-VCP, and appointing co-lead counsel.
On June 20, 2012, another substantially identical purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of New Hampshire, Hillsborough County, by Paul Constantinescu, an alleged stockholder of the Company (Constantinescu v. Micronetics, Inc. et al., Docket No. 226-2012-00-440). On July 13, 2012, the Constantinescu action was stayed in favor of the consolidated Delaware action.
On July 26, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire by Bhanwar Joshi, an alleged stockholder of the company (Joshi v. Micronetics, Inc., No. 1:12-cv-00285). The lawsuit is substantially identical to the other lawsuits relating to the Merger, but in addition asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that the definitive proxy statement disseminated in connection with the Merger contained material misstatements and/or omissions.
On July 30, 2012, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company agreed to settle the litigation pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the United States District Court. The settlement provides, among other things, that the parties will seek to enter into a stipulation of settlement which provides for the conditional certification of the consolidated Delaware action as a non opt-out class action pursuant to Court of Chancery Rule 23 on behalf of a class consisting of all record and beneficial owners of Company common stock during the period beginning on June 10, 2012, through the date of the consummation of the Merger, including any and all of their respective successors in interest, predecessors, representatives, and the release of all asserted claims. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company agreed to additional disclosure related to continued employment provisions for senior management included in the various offers made for the Company and the extension of exclusivity to Mercury. This additional disclosure was provided in the form of a press release issued on July 30, 2012 and filed pursuant to Form 8-K on such date. There are no other provisions related to the settlement. The asserted claims will not be released until such stipulation of settlement is approved by the court, and such release, if approved by the court, would encompass all claims alleged in the lawsuit pending in the Superior Court of the State of New Hampshire. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the court will approve such settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. The settlement will not affect the merger consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders.
In connection with this settlement, the Company may be liable for the plaintiff's attorney fees; however, as of this time any such fee award is uncertain and no reasonable estimate can be made. The Company carries a director and officer insurance policy which may cover some or all of the cost of this matter subject to a $150,000 retention.
16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2012 the Company incurred approximately $600,000 in expenses related to the pending Merger of the Company.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
Proposed Merger of the Company
On June 8, 2012, Micronetics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Micronetics"), Mercury Computer Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Mercury"), and Wildcat Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercury ("Merger Sub"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Mercury will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Micronetics for $14.80 per share in cash, without interest, and pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Micronetics with Micronetics continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercury (the "Merger").
On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Micronetics, at the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), and as a result thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Micronetics ("Micronetics Common Stock") that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Micronetics Common Stock owned directly or indirectly by Mercury or any subsidiary of Micronetics, which will be canceled without payment of any consideration, and Micronetics Common Stock for which dissenters' rights have been validly exercised and not withdrawn) will be converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive $14.80 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"), subject to adjustment under certain conditions as described in the Merger Agreement. Each option to purchase Micronetics Common Stock that is vested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, including options which by their terms vest immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a "Vested Option") shall be canceled at the Effective Time and, in exchange therefor, each former holder of any such canceled Vested Option shall be entitled to receive, in cash, the amount by which the Merger Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such Vested Option multiplied by the number of shares of Micronetics Common Stock subject to such Vested Option. Each option to purchase Micronetics Common Stock that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Mercury.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary conditions, including (i) approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Micronetics Common Stock (the “ Stockholder Approval ”), (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, (iii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and (iv) the absence of a material adverse effect with respect to Micronetics. The consummation of the Merger is not subject to a financing condition.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both Mercury and Micronetics, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances, including if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Mercury in the event the Micronetics Board effects a Change of Company Board Recommendation, Micronetics would be required to pay Mercury the Termination Fee equal to $2,520,000.
A Special Meeting of the Shareholders is scheduled for August 8, 2012 to consider and vote upon the Merger.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is only a summary, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Item 1.01 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 12, 2012.
Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2012 we incurred approximately $600,000 in expenses related to the pending Merger of the Company.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements in this report contain words such as “could,” “expects,” “may,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “envisions,” and other similar language and are considered forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about the operating environment, economies and markets in which we operate and are merely our current predictions of future events. In addition, other written or oral statements which are considered forward-looking may be made by us or others on our behalf. These statements are subject to important risks, uncertainties and assumptions, which are difficult to predict and the actual outcome may be materially different. Some of the factors which could cause results or events to differ from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the factors described here, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We assume no obligation to update our forward-looking statements to reflect new information or developments.
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. We urge readers to review carefully the risk factors described herein, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and in the other documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can read these documents at www.sec.gov. If any of these risks, or other risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not significant, develops into an actual event, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. If that happens, the market price of our common stock could decline.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and the results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements and the data used to prepare them. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and judgments include revenue recognition, assumptions used in stock option and goodwill valuations, reserves for accounts receivable and inventories, useful lives of long lived assets, accrued liabilities, and deferred income taxes. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current business conditions and circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We discuss recently adopted accounting standards in Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3.
Overview
Micronetics designs and manufactures high performance microwave and radio frequency (RF) components and integrated multifunction subassemblies used in a variety of commercial wireless, defense and aerospace products, including satellite communications, electronic warfare and electronic counter-measures. We also manufacture and design test equipment, subassemblies and components used to test the strength, durability and integrity of signals in communications equipment. Our products are embedded in a variety of radars, electronic warfare systems, guidance systems, wireless telecommunications and satellite equipment. Our microwave devices are used on subassemblies and integrated systems in addition to being sold on a component basis.
We sell our products primarily to original equipment manufacturers of communications equipment in either the commercial or the defense electronics marketplace. Many of our customers are prime contractors for defense applications and/or Fortune 500 companies with world-wide operations.
A key driver of demand for our products is the pervasive transformation of information from the analog domain to the digital domain. Because digital technologies require greater degrees of precision and rely more on miniature circuits than analog technologies, testing is critical for the rapid commercialization of reliable products necessitated by broadband and wireless communication technologies. As the speed to market challenges increase, larger companies are relying increasingly on other companies to manufacture a module or an integrated subassembly. This module or subassembly is then integrated by the larger company into a piece of equipment and sold to a customer. Micronetics has been seeking to capitalize on this trend by increasing its capability to manufacture integrated subsystems. Our goal is to leverage our high power and noise technology to continue to be a highly reliable supplier of integrated microwave subsystems.
Results of Operations
Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 2012 compared to July 2, 2011
Net sales
Net sales for the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 (“Q1 FY 13”) were $10,606,970, an increase of $567,677, or 6% as compared to $10,039,293 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011 (“Q1 FY 12”). The increase in sales was due to an increase in integrated component sub-systems.
Gross margin
Gross margin for Q1 FY 13 was approximately 30% which declined from 32% gross margin for Q1 FY 12. The decrease was primarily due to components product mix.
Research and development
Research and development expense for Q1 FY 13 was $324,129 as compared to $413,695 for Q1 FY 12, a decrease of $89,566 or 22%. There were no material activities associated with this decrease. Our research and development expense varies to a certain degree based upon emerging technologies, shifts in product requirements and our assessment of future business opportunities.
Selling, general and administrative
Selling, general and administrative expense for Q1 FY 13 was $1,975,197 as compared to $1,756,996 for Q1 FY 12, representing an increase of $218,201 or 12%. Payroll related expenses increased approximately $62,000 due to the addition of sales personnel. Third party commission expense increased approximately $46,000, stock compensation expense increased by approximately $27,000 and all other selling, general and administrative costs increased by a net of approximately $83,000.
Merger-related
Merger-related expense for Q1 FY 13 was $1,150,171 relating to the pending Merger of the Company.
Amortization of intangible assets
Amortization expense attributable to our intangible assets related to previous acquisitions was $55,119 in Q1 FY 13 as compared to $78,511 in Q1 FY 12 due to completing amortization of certain tangibles.
Interest expense
Interest expense for Q1 FY 13 was $20,392 as compared to $81,610 for Q1 FY 12, a decrease of $61,218 or 75%. The decrease was due to the final payment made on the term loan in April 2012 and a lower line of credit outstanding during Q1 FY13 as compared to Q1 FY12.
(Benefit) provision for income taxes
Our effective tax rate was 52.7% for Q1 FY 13 and 36.5% for Q1 FY12. The effective tax rate for Q1 FY13 is based on the projected annual pre-tax income for fiscal year 2013, including the impact of nondeductible merger-related expenses. The effective tax rate could change depending on the outcome of the Special Meeting of the Shareholders scheduled for August 8, 2012 to consider and vote upon the Merger.
Backlog
Our backlog was approximately $23 million as of June 30, 2012 and $31 million at July 2, 2011.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
We finance our operating and investment requirements primarily through operating cash flows and borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents were $604,103 and $856,931, respectively, at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012. Working capital, defined as accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, other current assets net of accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred
revenue, was $13,516,526 and $15,043,885 at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Borrowings under our revolving line of credit were $3,551,151 and $4,220,045 at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
Our current ratio was approximately 2.47 at June 30, 2012 and 2.37 at March 31, 2012, respectively.
In the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 net cash provided by operating activities was $1,155,576 as compared to $834,307 for the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011.
In the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012, cash provided by net loss after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation and changes in working capital reserves was approximately $.3 million. Approximately $0.8 million was provided by working capital needs. Of this amount, approximately $1.4 million was provided by receivables offset by $0.6 million used for prepaid tax assets.
In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011, cash provided by net income after adjusting for non-cash items including depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, changes in working capital reserves and an unrealized gain on interest rate swap was approximately $1.0 million. Approximately $0.2 million was used for working capital needs. Of this amount, approximately $0.8 million was provided by receivables and deferred revenue, approximately $1.7 million was used to fund inventory requirements, approximately $0.4 million was provided by accounts payable and accrued expenses and $0.3 million was provided by a reduction in prepaid tax assets.
Net cash used in investing activities was $414,511 during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $237,761 in the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011. In the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 and July 2, 2011, investing activities was solely comprised of capital expenditures.
Net cash used for financing activities was $993,893 during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012 as compared to cash used for financing activities of $377,513 during the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011.
In the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2012, we repaid approximately $0.7 million towards our line of credit and repaid term debt of approximately $0.3 million.
In the thirteen weeks ended July 2, 2011, we borrowed approximately $0.3 million from our line of credit, repaid term debt of approximately $0.6 million and paid approximately $0.1 million for capital lease obligations. Due to the timing of the quarter and the calendar quarter and due to two payments on our term loan, an additional $0.3 million of debt payments occurred in the thirteen week period ended July 2, 2011.
We believe that cash and cash equivalents on hand, anticipated future cash receipts, and borrowings available under our line of credit will be sufficient to meet our obligations as they become due for the next twelve months. However, a decrease in our sales or demand for our products would likely adversely affect our working capital amounts. As part of our business strategy, we occasionally evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, products and technologies. Accordingly, a portion of our available cash may be used at any time for the acquisition of complementary products or businesses. These potential transactions may require substantial capital resources, which, in turn, may require us to seek additional debt or equity financing. There are no assurances that we will be able to consummate any such transaction. There are no current plans to raise additional debt or equity capital, nor is there a projected need to raise any such capital.
Term Loan and Revolver
In March 2007, we entered into a credit facility which consisted of a $6.5 million five year secured term loan and a $5.0 million three year revolving line of credit. In Fiscal 2009, the revolving line of credit was extended by two years. On August 13, 2010, the revolving line of credit was increased to $7.5 million and was extended until March 31, 2013.
On September 19, 2011, we entered into an amendment to the term loan and revolving line of credit agreement under which the revolving line of credit was increased to $10 million and extended until September 30, 2015. The term loan and revolving line of credit are guaranteed by our subsidiaries and are secured by substantially all of our assets. The term loan was payable in quarterly principal installments of $325,000 plus accrued interest at the rate of 5.2% plus the applicable margin. The final payment for the term loan was made in April 2012. The revolving line of credit bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable margin. At June 30, 2012, the interest rate was 2.49%. We had approximately $6.4 million available under the line of credit at June 30, 2012.
In April 2007, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $6.5 million to mitigate the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the term loan. The interest rate swap was not designated as a hedging instrument at the initiation of the swap, and therefore the Company had not applied hedge accounting. As a result, at the end of each reporting period, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, with any related gains or losses included in earnings. The interest rate swap agreement expired March 30, 2012. Therefore, there
was no change in fair value at June 30, 2012 as compared to $34,597 at July 2, 2011.
Under the terms of the amended term loan and the revolving line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants on a quarterly and annual basis, including total funded debt to EBITDA not exceeding 2.5:1, minimum debt service coverage of 1.25:1 and a minimum current ratio of 1.25:1. At June 30, 2012, we are in compliance with our bank covenants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases that have or are, in the opinion of management, likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing and investing activities.
We conduct our transactions with foreign customers in U.S. dollars. Although we are not subject to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations directly, demand from foreign customers may be affected by the relative change in value of the customer’s currency to the value of the U.S. dollar. Changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar may also change our prices relative to the prices of our foreign competitors.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures—As of June 30, 2012, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a- 15(e) and 15d- 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012 to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control—There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Important considerations—The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Because of these limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
On June 15, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, by Jason Katz, an alleged stockholder of the Company (Katz v. Micronetics, Inc. et al., C.A. No. 7626-VCP). The lawsuit alleges: (i) that the members of our board of directors breached fiduciary duties they allegedly owed in negotiating and approving the Merger Agreement, that the merger consideration negotiated in the Merger Agreement improperly values the Company, that the Company's stockholders will not likely receive adequate or fair value for their Company common stock in the Merger, and that the terms of the Merger Agreement impose improper deal protection devices that will preclude competing offers and (ii) that Mercury and Merger Sub aided and abetted the purported breaches of fiduciary duty. The lawsuit seeks, among other things, an injunction against the consummation of the Merger and rescission in the event that the Merger has already been consummated prior to the entry of the court's final judgment and an award of damages and costs and expenses, including attorneys' and experts' fees and expenses. On June 29, 2012, a substantially identical purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Court of Chancery by Kambiz Abbassi, another alleged stockholder of the Company (Abbassi v. D'Anne Hurd, et al., C.A. No. 7665-VCP). In addition to similar allegations regarding our board of directors' alleged breaches of fiduciary duties relating to negotiation and approval of the Merger, the Abbassi complaint also alleges that the Company and the board of directors made materially false and misleading disclosures in the preliminary proxy statement. On July 3, 2012, the Court of Chancery entered an order consolidating the Katz and Abbassi actions as In re Micronetics, Inc. Shareholder Litigation, Consol. C.A. No. 7626-VCP, and appointing co-lead counsel.
On June 20, 2012, another substantially identical purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of the State of New Hampshire, Hillsborough County, by Paul Constantinescu, an alleged stockholder of the Company (Constantinescu v. Micronetics, Inc. et al., Docket No. 226-2012-00-440). On July 13, 2012, the Constantinescu action was stayed in favor of the consolidated Delaware action.
On July 26, 2012, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire by Bhanwar Joshi, an alleged stockholder of the company (Joshi v. Micronetics, Inc., No. 1:12-cv-00285). The lawsuit is substantially identical to the other lawsuits relating to the Merger, but in addition asserts claims under Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that the definitive proxy statement disseminated in connection with the Merger contained material misstatements and/or omissions.
On July 30, 2012, solely to avoid the costs, risks and uncertainties inherent in litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company agreed to settle the litigation pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery and the United States District Court. The settlement provides, among other things, that the parties will seek to enter into a stipulation of settlement which provides for the conditional certification of the consolidated Delaware action as a non opt-out class action pursuant to Court of Chancery Rule 23 on behalf of a class consisting of all record and beneficial owners of Company common stock during the period beginning on June 10, 2012, through the date of the consummation of the Merger, including any and all of their respective successors in interest, predecessors, representatives, and the release of all asserted claims. Pursuant to the settlement, the Company agreed to additional disclosure related to continued employment provisions for senior management included in the various offers made for the Company and the extension of exclusivity to Mercury. This additional disclosure was provided in the form of a press release issued on July 30, 2012 and filed pursuant to Form 8-K on such date. The asserted claims will not be released until such stipulation of settlement is approved by the court, and such release, if approved by the court, would encompass all claims alleged in the lawsuit pending in the Superior Court of the State of New Hampshire. There can be no assurance that the parties will ultimately enter into a stipulation of settlement or that the court will approve such settlement even if the parties were to enter into such stipulation. The settlement will not affect the merger consideration to be received by the Company's stockholders.
In connection with this settlement, the Company may be liable for the plaintiff's attorney fees; however, as of this time any such fee award is uncertain and no reasonable estimate can be made. The Company carries a director and officer insurance policy which may cover some or all of the cost of this matter subject to a $150,000 retention.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our objectives, expectations and intentions. You should consider carefully all of the material risks described herein, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and in our other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the cautionary statements made elsewhere in the Annual Report and in this report, before making a decision to invest in our securities. Such cautionary statements are applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this report. If any of the events described therein occur, our business, financial conditions and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
Other than set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
A significant delay in consummating or a failure to consummate the proposed merger of the Company could have a material adverse effect on our stock price and operating results.
If the proposed merger of the Company with Mercury is not completed, it could have a material adverse effect on our stock price. In addition, any significant delay in consummating the merger of the Company could have a material adverse effect on our operating results, adversely affect our supplier and customer relationships and would likely lead to a significant diversion of management and employee attention and potential employee attrition.
Expenses related to the proposed merger of the Company are significant and will adversely affect our operating results in Fiscal 2013.
We have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses in connection with the proposed merger of the Company, including legal and investment banker fees and retention bonus expenses. We expect these costs to have an adverse effect on our operating results in Fiscal 2013. In addition, if the merger is not consummated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay to Mercury a termination fee of $2,520,000.
Restrictions on the conduct of our business prior to the completion of the proposed merger of the Company may have a negative impact on our operating results.
We have agreed to certain restrictions on the conduct of our business in connection with the proposed merger of the Company that require us to conduct our business only in the ordinary course, subject to specific limitations. These restrictions may delay or prevent us from undertaking business opportunities that may arise pending completion of the transaction.
