Overview

SigmaTron is a Delaware corporation, which was organized on November 16, 1993, and commenced operations when it became the successor to all of the assets and liabilities of SigmaTron L.P., an Illinois limited partnership, through a reorganization on February 8, 1994.

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.

The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the assembly of individual components to the assembly and testing of box-build electronic products. The Company has the ability to produce assemblies requiring mechanical as well as electronic capabilities. The products assembled by the Company are then incorporated into finished products sold in various industries, particularly appliance, consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, medical/life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and automotive.

3

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Union City, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; and Suzhou-Wujiang, China. In addition, the Company maintains materials sourcing offices in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Union City, California; and Taipei, Taiwan and also has warehouses in Del Rio, Texas.

In an effort to facilitate the growth of our China operation, the Company established a new Chinese entity in October 2011 that allows the Company to provide services competitively to the domestic market in China. Nonetheless, during fiscal year 2012, the Company continued to see a trend of Chinese costs increasing, thereby making Mexico a more competitive manufacturing location to service North America. Indications suggest that this trend will continue. We feel the Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to manufacture in China or Mexico or both. We believe this strategy has continued to serve the Company well during these difficult economic times as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies.

The Company expects continuing pressures on margins until the economy starts a sustained recovery. The Company is hopeful to see that start during fiscal year 2013. Until that time, the Company will carefully manage its cost structure. We will also work on integrating Spitfire into SigmaTron, which the Company believes will ultimately improve our economies of scale and provide new revenue opportunities.

On May 31, 2012, SigmaTron acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire Controls, Inc. (“Spitfire”). Spitfire is a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America is currently its primary market, Spitfire has applications that can be used worldwide. Providing manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, SigmaTron has been a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.

Spitfire provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances. Spitfire is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (“AHAM”), as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001-2008 certified. In addition, Spitfire’s design capabilities will allow the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.

Products and Services

The Company provides a broad range of manufacturing related outsourcing solutions for its customers on both a turnkey basis (material purchased by the Company) and consignment basis (material provided by the customer). These solutions incorporate the Company’s knowledge and expertise in the EMS industry to provide its customers with advanced manufacturing technologies and high quality, responsive and flexible manufacturing services. The Company’s EMS solutions provide services from product inception through the ultimate delivery of a finished good. Such technologies and services include the following:

Supply Chain Management. The Company is primarily a turnkey manufacturer and directly sources all, or a substantial portion, of the components necessary for its product assemblies, rather than receiving the raw materials from its customers on consignment. Turnkey services involve a greater investment in resources and an increased inventory risk compared to consignment services. Supply chain management includes the purchasing, management, storage and delivery of raw components required for the manufacture or assembly of a customer’s product based upon the customer’s orders. The Company procures components from a select group of vendors which meet its standards for timely delivery, high quality and cost effectiveness, or as directed by its customers. Raw materials used in the assembly and manufacture of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies are generally available from several suppliers, unless restricted by the customer. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with the majority of its major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provide the flexibility needed to source inventory based on the needs of its customers.

4

The Company believes that its ability to source and procure competitively priced, quality components is critical to its ability to effectively compete. In addition to obtaining materials in North America, the Company uses its international procurement office (“IPO”) in Taiwan and agents to source materials from the Far East. The Company believes its IPO allows it to more effectively manage its relationships with key suppliers in the Far East by permitting it to respond more quickly to changes in market dynamics, including fluctuations in price, availability and quality.

Assembly and Manufacturing. The Company’s core business is the assembly of printed circuit board assemblies through the automated and manual insertion of components onto raw printed circuit boards. The Company offers its assembly services using both pin-through-hole (“PTH”) and surface mount (“SMT”) interconnect technologies at all of its manufacturing locations. SMT is an assembly process which allows the placement of a higher density of components directly on both sides of a printed circuit board. The SMT process is an advancement over the mature PTH technology, which normally permits electronic components to be attached to only one side of a printed circuit board by inserting the component into holes drilled through the board. The SMT process allows OEMs advanced circuitry, while at the same time permitting the placement of a greater number of components on a printed circuit board without having to increase the size of the board. By allowing increasingly complex circuits to be packaged with the components in closer proximity to each other, SMT greatly enhances circuit processing speed, and, thus, board and system performance.

The Company performs PTH assembly both manually and with automated component insertion and soldering equipment. Although SMT is a more sophisticated interconnect technology, the Company intends to continue providing PTH assembly services for its customers as the Company’s customers continue to require both PTH and SMT capabilities. The Company is also capable of assembling fine pitch and ball grid array (“BGA”) components. BGA is used for more complex circuit boards required to perform at higher speeds.

Manufacturing and Related Services. The Company offers comprehensive production and testing capabilities across all business units to standardize processes and procedures. Each of its sites is linked together using the same ERP system and real-time on-line visibility.

The Company is strategically located to support our customers with their New Product Introduction (“NPI”), Prototypes to Volume Production. With locations in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Union City, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; Del Rio, Texas; Suzhou-Wujiang, China; and Taipei, Taiwan, the Company is able to support our customers’ needs with our broad range of services including design for manufacturability (“DFM”), design for testability (“DFT”), printed circuit board assemblies, test, box-build, and system integration. The Company offers original design manufacturing (“ODM”) services of electronic controls in the major appliance industry. The Company’s ability to transition manufacturing to a lower cost region without jeopardizing flexibility and service differentiate it from the competition. Manufacturing certifications include ISO 9001:2008, medical ISO 13485:2003, Aerospace AS9100B and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) certifications.

Product Testing. The Company has the ability to perform both in-circuit and functional testing of its assemblies and finished products. In-circuit testing verifies that the correct components have been properly inserted and that the electrical circuits are complete. Functional testing determines if a board or system assembly is performing to customer specifications. The Company seeks to provide customers with highly sophisticated testing services that are at the forefront of current test technology.

Warehousing and Distribution. In response to the needs of select customers, the Company has the ability to provide in-house warehousing, shipping and receiving and customer brokerage services in Del Rio, Texas for goods manufactured or assembled in Acuna, Mexico. The Company also has the ability to provide custom-tailored delivery schedules and services to fulfill the just-in-time inventory needs of its customers.

Markets and Customers

The Company’s customers are in the appliance, gaming, industrial electronics, fitness, medical/life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and consumer electronics industries. As of April 30, 2012, the Company had approximately 100 active customers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small, privately held enterprises.

The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales to the principal end-user markets it serves.

		Percent of Net Sales
Markets	Typical OEM Application	Fiscal 2011 %			Fiscal 2012 %
Industrial Electronics	Motor controls, power supplies, lighting ballasts, scales, joysticks		34.0			40.4
Appliances	Household appliance controls		37.3			32.9
Fitness	Treadmills, exercise bikes, cross trainers		16.0			14.0
Semiconductor Equipment	Process control and yield management equipment for semiconductor productions		2.9			3.5
Gaming	Slot machines, lighting displays		4.3			3.2
Telecommunications	Routers, communication		3.2			2.7
Consumer Electronics	Battery backup sump pumps, electric bikes		0.8			1.8
Medical/Life Sciences	Clinical diagnostic systems and instruments		1.5			1.5
Total			100	%		100	%

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Spitfire and Life Fitness, Inc. accounted for 21.0% and 14.0%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, Spitfire and Life Fitness, Inc. accounted for 24.0% and 16.0%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales. As discussed above, on May 31, 2012, the Company acquired Spitfire. The Company will begin selling to Spitfires’ customers directly and will discontinue selling to Spitfire. Although the Company does not have a long term contract with Life Fitness, nevertheless, the Company expects that Life Fitness will continue to account for a significant percentage of the Company’s net sales, although the percentage of net sales may vary from period to period.

Sales and Marketing

The Company markets its services through 13 independent manufacturers’ representative organizations that together currently employ approximately 38 sales personnel in the United States and Canada. Independent manufacturers’ representatives organizations receive variable commissions based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories. Many of the members of the Company’s senior management are actively involved in sales and marketing efforts, and the Company has 6 direct sales employees.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey

6

contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders, primarily at the instance of its customers, has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenue and earnings, and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue.

Mexico and China Operations

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A, a Mexican corporation, is located in Acuna, Coahuila Mexico, a border town across the Rio Grande River from Del Rio, Texas, and is 155 miles west of San Antonio. Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. was incorporated and commenced operation in 1968 and had 752 employees at April 30, 2012. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation, is located in Tijuana, Baja California Mexico, a border town south of San Diego, California. AbleMex S.A. de C.V. was incorporated and commenced operations in 2000. The operation had 151 employees at April 30, 2012. The Company believes that one of the key benefits to having operations in Mexico is its access to cost-effective labor resources while having geographic proximity to the United States.

The Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprises, Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., are located in Wujiang, China. Wujiang is located approximately 15 miles south of Suzhou, China and 60 miles west of Shanghai, China. The Company has entered into an agreement with governmental authorities in the economic development zone of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of China, pursuant to which the Company became the lessee of a parcel of land of approximately 100 Chinese acres. The term of the land lease is 50 years. The Company built a manufacturing plant, office space and dormitories on this site during 2004. The manufacturing plant and office space is approximately 80,000 square feet, which can be expanded if conditions require. SigmaTron China operates at this site as the Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprise. At April 30, 2012, this operation had 316 employees.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan procurement branch. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 resulted in a foreign currency gain of approximately $134,000. In fiscal year 2012, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $17,000,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided. During fiscal year 2012, the Company received a distribution of approximately $1,221,222 from a foreign subsidiary based in Mexico. The Company does not anticipate any material U.S. income tax on the distribution as the earnings were previously subject to U.S. tax. This distribution from the foreign subsidiary based in Mexico does not change the Company’s intentions to indefinitely reinvest the income from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s intent is to keep unrepatriated funds indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and current plans do not demonstrate a need to fund U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution.

The consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2012 include the accounts and transactions of SigmaTron, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. and AbleMex S.A. de C.V., SigmaTron International Trading Co., its wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and its procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the Mexican subsidiaries, Chinese foreign enterprise and Taiwanese procurement branch is the U.S. dollar. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Competition

The EMS industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Furthermore, both large and small companies compete in the industry, and many have significantly greater financial resources, more extensive business experience and greater marketing and production capabilities than the Company. The significant competitive factors in this industry include price, quality, service, timeliness, reliability, the ability to source raw components, and manufacturing and technological capabilities. The Company believes it can competitively address all of these factors.

Consolidation

As a result of consolidation and other transactions involving competitors and other companies in the Company’s markets, the Company occasionally reviews potential transactions relating to its business, products and technologies. Such transactions could include mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, licensing agreements, co-promotion agreements, financing arrangements or other types of transactions. In the future, the Company may choose to enter into these types of or other transactions at any time depending on available sources of financing, and such transactions could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or operations.

On May 31, 2012, SigmaTron acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire. Spitfire is a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an OEM of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America is currently its primary market, Spitfire has applications that can be used worldwide. Providing manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, SigmaTron has been a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.

Governmental Regulations

The Company’s operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to, among others, environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety matters. Management believes that the Company’s business is operated in material compliance with all such regulations. Effective mid-2006, the Company’s customers were required to comply with the European Union’s Restrictions of Hazardous Substances of RoHS, directives for all of products that ship to the European marketplace. RoHS prohibits the use of lead, mercury and certain other specified substances in electronics products. The Company has RoHS-dedicated manufacturing capabilities at all of its manufacturing operations.

To date, the Company’s costs of compliance and environmental remediation have not been material. However, additional or modified requirements may be imposed in the future. If such additional or modified requirements are imposed, or if conditions requiring remediation are found to exist, the Company may be required to incur additional expenditures.

Backlog

The Company relies on customers’ forecasted orders and purchase orders (firm orders) from its customers to estimate backlog. Historically customers rescheduled or cancelled firm orders and consequently there is little or no financial significance between forecasted orders or firm orders. The Company has eliminated the distinction in its accounting system between the two types of orders. The Company’s backlog of forecasted and firm orders as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $89,600,000 and $108,300,000, respectively. The Company estimates its firm orders at April 30, 2012 and 2011 to be $57,100,000 and $64,620,000, respectively. The Company anticipates a significant portion of the backlog at April 30, 2012 will ship in fiscal year 2013. Because customers may cancel or reschedule deliveries, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue. Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts, forecasts and purchase orders received by the Company and delivery requirements generally may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period.

8

Employees

The Company employed approximately 1,700 people as of April 30, 2012, including 103 engaged in engineering or engineering-related services, 1,269 in manufacturing and 328 in administrative and marketing functions.

The Company has a labor contract with Production Workers Union Local No. 10, AFL-CIO, covering the Company’s workers in Elk Grove Village, Illinois which expires on November 30, 2012. The Company’s Mexican subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico S.A., has a labor contract with Sindicato De Trabajadores de la Industra Electronica, Similares y Conexos del Estado de Coahuila, C.T.M. covering the Company’s workers in Acuna, Mexico which expires on February 1, 2014. The Company’s subsidiary located in Tijuana Mexico, has a labor contract with Sindicato Mexico Moderno De Trabajadores De La, Baja California, C.R.O.C. The contract does not have an expiration date.

Since the time the Company commenced operations, it has not experienced any union-related work stoppages. The Company believes its relations with both unions and its other employees are good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business, operations, industry or financial position or our future financial performance. While the Company believes it has identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting its business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect its business, operations, industry, financial position and financial performance in the future.

9

The Company’s ability to secure and maintain sufficient credit arrangements is key to its continued operations.

There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future. In the event the business grows rapidly, the uncertain economic climate continues or the Company considers another acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all in the future.

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility extends through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at April 30, 2012) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at April 30, 2012), which is paid monthly. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2012. As of April 30, 2012, there was a $16,000,000 outstanding balance and $14,000,000 of unused availability under the credit facility.

Adverse changes in the economy or political conditions could negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company’s sales and gross margins depend significantly on market demand for its customers’ products. The uncertainty in the U.S. and international economic and political environment could result in a decline in demand for our customers’ products in any industry. Further, any adverse changes in tax rates and laws affecting our customers could result in decreasing gross margins. Any of these factors could negatively impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Company experiences variable operating results.

The Company’s results of operations have varied and may continue to fluctuate significantly from period to period, including on a quarterly basis. Consequently, results of operations in any period should not be considered indicative of the results for any future period, and fluctuations in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of the Company’s common stock.

The Company’s quarterly and annual results may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Some of these factors include:

• changes in sales mix to customers

• changes in availability and rising component cost

• volume of customer orders relative to capacity

• market demand and acceptance of our customers’ products

• price erosion within the EMS marketplace

• capital equipment requirements needed to remain technologically competitive

• volatility in the U.S. and international economic and financial markets

The Company’s customer base is concentrated.

Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 57% and 62% of net sales for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s two largest customers accounted for 21.0% and 14.0% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 compared to 24.0% and 16.0% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. Significant reduction in sales to any of the Company’s major customers or the loss of a major customer could have a material impact on the Company’s operations. If the Company cannot

10

replace canceled or reduced orders, sales will decline, which could have a material impact on the results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will retain any or all of its large customers. This risk may be further complicated by pricing pressures and intense competition prevalent in our industry.

The Company has a significant amount of trade accounts receivable from some of its customers due to customer concentration. If any of the Company’s customers have financial difficulties, the Company could encounter delays or defaults in the payment of amounts owed. This could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

Most of the Company’s customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, which makes it difficult to schedule production and achieve maximum efficiency at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and to manage inventory levels.

The volume and timing of sales to the Company’s customers may vary due to:

• customers’ attempts to manage their inventory

• variation in demand for the Company’s customers’ products

• design changes, or

• acquisitions of or consolidation among customers

Many of the Company’s customers do not commit to firm production schedules. The Company’s inability to forecast the level of customer orders with certainty can make it difficult to schedule production and maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity and manage inventory levels. The Company could be required to increase or decrease staffing and more closely manage other expenses in order to meet the anticipated demand of its customers. Orders from the Company’s customers could be cancelled or delivery schedules could be deferred as a result of changes in our customers’ demand, adversely affecting the Company’s results of operations, and resulting in higher inventory levels.

The Company and its customers may be unable to keep current with the industry’s technological changes.

The market for the Company’s manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and continuing product development. The future success of the Company’s business will depend in large part upon its customers’ ability to maintain and enhance their technological capabilities, develop and market manufacturing services which meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis.

Our customers have competitive challenges, including rapid technological changes, pricing pressure and decreasing demand from their customers, which could adversely affect their business and the Company’s.

Factors affecting the industries that utilize our customers’ products could negatively impact our customers and the Company. These factors include:

• increase competition among our customers and their competitors

• the inability of our customers to develop and market their products

• recessionary periods in our customers’ markets

• the potential that our customers’ products become obsolete

• our customers’ inability to react to rapidly changing technology

Any such factor or a combination of factors could negatively impact our customers’ need for or ability to pay for our products, which could, in turn, affect the Company’s results of operations.

Customer relationships with start-up companies present more risk.

A small portion of the Company’s current customer base is comprised of start-up companies. Customer relationships with start-up companies may present heightened risk due to the lack of product history. Slow market acceptance of their products could result in demand fluctuations causing inventory levels to rise. Further, the current economic environment could make it difficult for such emerging companies to obtain additional funding. This may result in additional credit risk including, but not limited to the collection of trade account receivables and payment for their inventory. If the Company does not have adequate allowances recorded, the results of operations may be negatively affected.

11

The Company faces intense industry competition and downward pricing pressures.

The EMS industry is highly fragmented and characterized by intense competition. Many of the Company’s competitors have greater experience, as well as greater manufacturing, purchasing, marketing and financial resources than the Company.

Competition from existing or potential new competitors may have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. The introduction of lower priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Company’s competitors or significant pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.

The Company has foreign operations that may pose additional risks.

A substantial part of the Company’s manufacturing operations is based in Mexico. Therefore, the Company’s business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Mexican economy, the political climate in Mexico and Mexico’s relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in Mexico, and the ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in Mexico.

The Company also has operations in China. Therefore, the Company’s business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Chinese economy, the political climate in China and China’s relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in China, and the ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in China.

The Company maintains an operation in Vietnam. Therefore, the Company’s business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Vietnamese economy, the political climate in Vietnam and Vietnam’s relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in Vietnam, and the ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in Vietnam.

The Company obtains many of its materials and components through its IPO in Taipei, Taiwan and, therefore, the Company’s access to these materials and components is dependent on the continued viability of its Asian suppliers.

The Company may not achieve expected profitability from its acquisitions.

Acquisitions involve significant financial and operating risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, including the acquisition of the Spitfire Controls in May 2012.

Acquisitions involve significant risks, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company including:

• Financial risks, such as (1) the payment of a purchase price that exceeds the future value that we may realize from the acquired operations and businesses; (2) an increase in the Company’s expenses and working capital requirements, which could reduce our return on invested capital; (3) potential known and unknown liabilities of the acquired businesses; (4) costs associated with integrating acquired operations and business; (5) the incurrence of additional debt; (6) the financial impact of incorrectly valuing goodwill and other intangible assets involved in any acquisitions, potential future impairment write-downs of goodwill and indefinite life intangibles and the amortization of other intangible assets; (7) possible adverse tax and accounting effects; and (8) the risk that the Company will spend substantial amounts

12

purchasing these manufacturing facilities and assume significant contractual and other obligations with no guaranteed levels of revenue or that the Company may have to close or sell acquired facilities at its costs, which may include substantial employee severance costs and asset write-offs, which may result, in our incurring significant losses.

The Company must implement its management information systems, operating systems and internal controls, and assimilate and manage the personnel of the acquired operations. The difficulties of this integration may be further complicated by geographic distances. The integration of acquired businesses may not be successful and could result in disruption to other parts of our business.

Further there can be no assurance the integration of Spitfire’s financial statements with the Company’s statements can be completed as required for SEC mandatory filings. The Company may incur significant costs to obtain the financial information for such filings.

Disclosure and internal controls may not detect all errors or fraud.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. Controls can provide only reasonable assurance that the procedures will meet the control objectives. Controls are limited in their effectiveness by human error, including faulty judgments in decision-making. Further, controls can be circumvented by collusion of two or more people or by management override of controls. Because of the limitations of a cost-effective control system, error and fraud may occur and not be detected.

Inadequate internal control over financial reporting could result in a reduction in the value of our common stock.

If the Company identifies and reports a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, shareholders and the Company’s lenders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial statements. This could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company’s stock and the Company’s liquidity.

There is a risk of fluctuation of various currencies integral to the Company’s operations.

The Company purchases some of its material components and funds some of its operations in foreign currencies. From time to time the currencies fluctuate against the U.S. dollar. Such fluctuations could have a measurable impact on the Company’s results of operations and performance. The impact of currency fluctuation for the year ended April 30, 2012 resulted in a currency gain of approximately $134,000. These fluctuations are expected to continue and could become material and have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company did not, and is not expected to, utilize derivatives or hedge foreign currencies to reduce the risk of such fluctuations.

The availability of raw components or an increase in their price may affect the Company’s operations and profits.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single-source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

13

The Company depends on management and skilled personnel.

The Company depends significantly on its President and other executive officers. The Company’s employees generally are not bound by employment agreements and the Company cannot assure that it will retain its executive officers or skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any of these key employees could have a material impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. In addition, despite significant competition, continued growth and expansion of the Company’s EMS business will require that the Company attract, motivate and retain additional skilled and experienced personnel. The inability to satisfy such requirements could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to remain competitive in the future.

Favorable labor relations are important to the Company.

The Company currently has labor union contracts with its employees constituting approximately 51% of its workforce. Although the Company believes its labor relations are good, any labor disruptions, whether union-related or otherwise, could significantly impair the Company’s business, substantially increase the Company’s costs or otherwise have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Failure to comply with environmental regulations could subject the Company to liability.

The Company is subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. To date, the cost to the Company of such compliance has not had a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that violations will not occur in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes. Further, the Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of environmental legislation or regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or regulations will be administered or interpreted. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures by the Company and could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Any failure by the Company to comply with present or future regulations could subject it to future liabilities or the suspension of production which could have a material negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.

The price of the Company’s stock is volatile.

The price of the Company’s common stock historically has experienced significant volatility due to fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and earnings, other factors relating to the Company’s operations, the market’s changing expectations for the Company’s growth, overall equity market conditions and other factors unrelated to the Company’s operations. In addition, the limited float of the Company’s common stock and the limited number of market makers also affect the volatility of the Company’s common stock. Such fluctuations are expected to continue in the future.

An adverse change in the interest rates for our borrowings could adversely affect our results of operations.

The Company pays interest on outstanding borrowings under its senior secured credit facility and certain other long-term debt obligations at interest rates that fluctuate. An adverse change in the Company’s interest rates could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

Changes in securities laws and regulations may increase costs.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and Exchange Commission and listing requirements subsequently adopted by Nasdaq in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies and audit committee practices of public companies. More recently the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act will require changes to our corporate governance, compliance practices and securities disclosures. The Company expects increased costs related to these new regulations, including, but not limited to, legal, financial and accounting costs. Further the Company anticipates it will be more difficult and more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These developments may result in the Company having difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified members of the board or qualified officers. Further, the costs associated with the compliance with and implementation of procedures under these laws and related rules could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Overview

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of EMS, which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.

On May 31, 2012, SigmaTron acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire. Spitfire is a privately held Illinois corporation headquartered in Carpentersville, Illinois with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America is currently its primary market, Spitfire has applications that can be used worldwide. Providing manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, SigmaTron has been a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.

Spitfire provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances. Spitfire is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (“AHAM”), as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001-2008 certified. In addition, Spitfire’s design capabilities will allow the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single-source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for the year ended April 30, 2012.

In an effort to facilitate growth of our China operation, the Company established a new Chinese entity in October 2011 that allows the Company to provide services competitively to the domestic market in China. Nonetheless, during fiscal year 2012, the Company continued to see a trend of Chinese costs increasing, thereby making Mexico a more competitive manufacturing location to service North America. Indications suggest that this trend will continue. We feel the Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to manufacture in China or Mexico or both. We believe this strategy has continued to serve the Company well during these difficult economic times as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies.

18

In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders, primarily at the instance of its customers, has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically, makes forecasting difficult. Short-term customer demands remain volatile. The Company continued to experience pricing pressures from both its customer and suppliers and its margins continued to be reduced in fiscal 2012. The Company expects continuing pressure on margins until the economy starts a sustained recovery. The Company is hopeful to see that start during fiscal year 2013. Until that time, the Company will manage its cost structure. We will also work on integrating Spitfire into SigmaTron, which the Company believes will ultimately improve our economies of scale and provide new revenue opportunities.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company will discontinue selling to Spitfire. The Company will instead begin selling directly to Spitfires’ customers.

On May 8, 2012, the Company entered into a real estate lease agreement to relocate its Tijuana, MX operation to a new facility within Tijuana, MX. The current lease expired June 2012 and the Company began its relocation in June 2012. The relocation was completed in July 2012. The Company will incur expenses due to the relocation of its Tijuana, MX operation, which are estimated to be $295,000 to $325,000 (unaudited). These expenses will be recorded in the first fiscal quarter of 2013. All incentives realized under the lease will be recognized over the term of the lease, which is five years.

Critical Accounting Policies:

Management Estimates and Uncertainties—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition—Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order. Finished goods inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements. The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

Inventories—Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the

19

Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Income Tax—The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes”. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid. The Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates by management are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment.

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinued operations and changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment and estimates by management about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income and/or loss.

The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations. Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future. Management is not presently aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

The Company recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 740 and the Company adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

New Accounting Standards:

In October 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13 for updated revenue recognition guidance under the provisions of ASC 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements”. The previous guidance has been retained for criteria to determine when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangements should be considered separate units of accounting, however the updated guidance removes the

20

previous separation criterion that objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” to address questions that have been raised in practice about the intended breadth of the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 815-15-15-9 of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The amended guidance clarifies that the scope exception applies to contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. This guidance was effective on August 1, 2010 for the Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations,” on the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. ASC No. 805 requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS,” which results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which was first applicable to the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income,” which requires disclosure of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December, the FASB has issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), that deferred the requirement to separately present within net income reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for impairment (revised topic).” The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Results of Operations:

FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2012 COMPARED

TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2011

The following table sets forth the percentage relationships of expense items to net sales for the years indicated:

	Fiscal Years
	2012			2011
Net sales		100.0	%		100.0	%
Operating expenses:
Cost of products sold		90.3			89.6
Selling and administrative expenses		8.0			7.6
Total operating expenses		98.3			97.2
Operating income		1.7	%		2.8	%

Net sales increased 3.2% to $156,635,984 in fiscal year 2012 from $151,728,084 in the prior year. The Company’s sales increased in fiscal year 2012 in medical/life sciences, industrial and consumer electronics and semiconductor marketplaces as compared to the prior year. The increase in sales dollars for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales dollars in the fitness, gaming, appliance and telecommunications marketplaces. The increase in net sales for the fiscal year 2012 is a result of our existing customers’ increased demand for product and the addition of some new customer programs ramping up compared to the previous fiscal year.

The Company’s sales in a particular industry are driven by the fluctuating forecasts and end-market demand of the customers within that industry. Sales to customers are subject to variations from period to period depending on customer order cancellations, the life cycle of customer products and product transition. Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 57% and 62% of net sales for fiscal years 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Gross profit decreased to $15,254,541, or 9.7% of net sales, in fiscal year 2012 compared to $15,787,206, or 10.4% of net sales, in the prior fiscal year. The Company continued to experience pricing pressures from both its customers and suppliers, which negatively affected the Company’s margins in fiscal year 2012. The Company expects continuing pressure on margins until the economy starts a sustained recovery. The Company is hopeful to see that start during fiscal year 2013. Until that time, the Company will carefully manage its cost structure and also work on integrating Spitfire into SigmaTron, which the Company believes will ultimately improve its economies of scale and provide new revenue opportunities. The decrease in gross profit in fiscal year 2012 was partially offset by a foreign currency gain of $133,979, compared to a foreign currency loss of $157,971 in the prior fiscal year.

Selling and administrative expenses increased in fiscal year 2012 to $12,611,673, or 8.0% of net sales, compared to $11,460,908, or 7.6% of net sales, in fiscal year 2011. The aggregate dollar increase in specific expense categories in fiscal year 2012 totaled $1,422,629 of which $530,565 resulted from professional fees incurred related to the Spitfire acquisition and the rest related to office and accounting salaries, commissions, bank fees, legal and accounting fees increasing. The increase in fiscal year 2012 was partially offset by a decrease of $271,864 in multiple categories, including bonus expense, travel, amortization expense and other subcategories of selling and administrative expenses. The Company expects to incur additional professional fees in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 related to the Spitfire acquisition.

Interest expense decreased to $1,025,325 in fiscal year 2012 compared to $1,154,352 in fiscal year 2011. The interest expense decreased primarily due to the Company’s decreased borrowings under its senior secured credit facility. Interest expense for fiscal year 2013 may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, increase during fiscal year 2013.

22

In fiscal year 2012, income tax expense was $522,171 compared to $1,203,514 in income tax expense in fiscal year 2011. The effective tax rate for the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 was 31.5% and 37.8%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate for the year ended April 30, 2012 is due to favorable tax rates and higher profits from the Company’s foreign entities and other tax credits.

The Company reported net income of $1,134,324 in fiscal year 2012 compared to a net income of $1,978,034 for fiscal year 2011. Basic and diluted earnings per share were each $0.29 for fiscal year 2012 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.52 and $0.51, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2011.

On May 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of Spitfire, an OEM of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance industry. The acquisition will add two manufacturing operations in locations that will augment the Company’s footprint and add Spitfire’s design capabilities which will allow the Company to offer design service for the first time in specific markets. The Company incurred professional fees in conjunction with the Spitfire acquisition. Professional fees of $530,565 were recorded as selling and administrative expenses during fiscal year 2012. The related after tax amount was $363,437. Net income adjusted on a non-GAAP basis to exclude these expenses for fiscal year 2012 was $1,497,761. The non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, for fiscal year 2012 were each $0.38. The Company believes the professional fees incurred in fiscal year 2012 and for the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 were onetime events and the non-GAAP disclosure provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s results of operations.

In fiscal year 2011, the Company relocated its Hayward, CA operation to Union City, CA. The new plant layout increased productivity and assisted in attracting interest from many new customers including some in the aviation, defense and medical markets. The Company will continue to target these markets in fiscal 2013. The Company incurred relocation expenses as a result of the move. Relocation expenses of $892,390 were recorded as a component of cost of products sold, which consisted primarily of moving expenses related to equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the Hayward facility. The related after tax amount was $562,206. Net income adjusted on a non-GAAP basis to exclude relocation expenses for fiscal year 2011 was $2,540,240. The non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings per share, as adjusted, for fiscal year 2011 were $0.66 and $0.65, respectively. The Company believes the relocation expense is a onetime event and the non-GAAP disclosure provides meaningful information regarding the Company’s results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $9,808,310 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $185,067 for the prior fiscal year. Cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2012 was primarily the result of net income, the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization, a decrease in inventory and an increase in accounts payable. The decrease in inventory of $7,147,110 was the result of the improvement of inventory management practices. The increase in accounts payable of $1,402,892 was due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business. Net cash provided by operations in fiscal year 2012 was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable of $4,381,326 was due to increased sales volume and timing of cash receipts from a significant customer.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $185,067 for the year ended April 30, 2011. Cash flow used in operating activities in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $7,615,784 due to raw material purchases to support increased demand for specific customers, increasing inventory levels for other customers delaying shipments and the start up of new customer programs. Income taxes paid and a decrease in accounts payable also contributed to fiscal year 2011 cash flow usage. Net cash used in operations in fiscal year 2011 was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in accounts receivable. The decrease in accounts receivable of $1,374,307 and accounts payable of $241,294 was due to timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.

Investing Activities.

In fiscal year 2012, the Company purchased approximately $2,300,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. The Company anticipates that it will make additional machinery and equipment purchases in fiscal year 2013 of approximately $4,500,000.

24

In fiscal year 2011, the Company purchased approximately $4,900,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. Additional purchases in fiscal year 2011 of approximately $541,500 and $835,000 was financed under a capital lease and a sale leaseback agreement, respectively.

Financing Activities.

Cash used in financing activities was $6,970,338 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5,190,678 in fiscal year 2011. Cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2012 was primarily the result of payments under the credit facility and for capital lease obligations. Cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of increased borrowings of $6,874,942 under the credit facility. The additional working capital was required to support the increase in inventory.

Financing Summary.

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $30 million. The term of the credit facility extends through September 30, 2013, and allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at April 30, 2012) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.1% at April 30, 2012), which is paid monthly. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2012. As of April 30, 2012, there was a $16,000,000 outstanding balance and $14,000,000 of unused availability under the credit facility.

The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on January 8, 2010, in the amount of $2,500,000, with Wells Fargo to refinance the property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters and its Illinois manufacturing facility. The Company repaid the prior Bank of America mortgage, which equaled $2,565,413, as of January 8, 2010, using proceeds from the Wells Fargo mortgage and senior secured credit facility. The Wells Fargo note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% per year and is amortized over a sixty month period. A final payment of approximately $2,000,000 is due on or before January 8, 2015. The outstanding balance as of April 30, 2012 was $2,275,009.

On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement extended to January 18, 2012 with monthly payments of $55,872 and a fixed interest rate of 4.29%. This lease financing arrangement was paid in full as of January 31, 2012. The net book value of the equipment was $1,434,423 at April 30, 2012.

On August 20, 2010 and October 26, 2010, the Company entered into two capital leasing transactions (a lease finance agreement and a sale leaseback agreement) with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $1,150,582. The term of the lease finance agreement, with an initial principal amount of $315,252, extends to September 2016 with monthly payments of $4,973 and a fixed interest rate of 4.28%. The term of the sale leaseback agreement, with an initial principal amount of $835,330, extends to August 2016 with monthly payments of $13,207 and a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. At April 30, 2012, $239,092 and $612,144 was outstanding under the lease finance and sale leaseback agreements, respectively. The net book value at April 30, 2012 of the equipment under each of the lease finance agreement and sale leaseback agreement was $273,656 and $696,402, respectively.

On November 29, 2010, the Company entered into a capital lease with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $226,216. The term of the lease agreement extends to October 2016 with monthly payments of $3,627 and a fixed interest rate of 4.99%. At April 30, 2012, the balance outstanding under the capital lease agreement was $175,104. The net book value of the equipment under this lease at April 30, 2012 was $197,230.

The total amount outstanding at April 30, 2012 for the three remaining equipment lease transactions discussed above was $1,026,339. The Company had two other capital leases not discussed above, one of which was paid in full in August 2011 and the other was paid in full in November 2011. The total net book value of the equipment under these other leases at April 30, 2012 was $563,853.

25

In September 2010, the Company entered into a real estate lease agreement in Union City, CA, to rent 116,993 square feet of manufacturing and office space. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company receives incentives over the life of the lease, which extends through March 2021. The amount of the deferred rent expense recorded for fiscal year 2012 was $13,057. In addition, the landlord provided the Company tenant incentives of $418,000, which is being amortized over the life of the lease.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan international procurement office. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan Dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, resulted in a foreign currency gain of $133,979. In fiscal year 2012, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $17,000,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided. During fiscal year 2012, the Company received a distribution of approximately $1,221,222 from a foreign subsidiary based in Mexico. The Company does not anticipate any material U.S. income tax on the distribution as the earnings were previously subject to U.S. tax. This unrepatriated distribution from the foreign subsidiary based in Mexico does not change the Company’s intentions to indefinitely reinvest the income from the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s intent is to keep funds indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and current plans do not demonstrate a need to fund U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution.

The Company anticipates its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates, customers delay payments, or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.

The impact of inflation on the Company’s net sales, revenues and incomes from continuing operations for the past two fiscal years has been minimal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

SigmaTron International, Inc.

Elk Grove Village, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SigmaTron International, Inc. as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SigmaTron International, Inc. at April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

April 30, 2012 and 2011

NOTE A—DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

SigmaTron International, Inc., its subsidiaries, foreign enterprises and international procurement office (collectively, the “Company”) operate in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. As of April 30, 2012, the Company provided these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in North America, China and Taiwan. Approximately 10% of the total consolidated assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as of April 30, 2012 and 2011.

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A., AbleMex S.A. de C.V., and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co. Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, “SigmaTron China”), and its international procurement office, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and procurement branch is the U.S. dollar. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012 resulted in a gain of approximately $134,000, compared to a loss of approximately $158,000 for the prior fiscal year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and

Use of Estimates—Continued

amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid short-term investments maturing within three months of the purchase date.

Accounts Receivable

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in the consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, medical/life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and appliance industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are due in accordance with agreed upon terms, and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payments terms are considered past due. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined to be uncollectible.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts relates to receivables not expected to be collected from our customers. This allowance is based on management’s assessment of specific customer balances, considering the age of receivables and financial stability of the customer and a five year average of prior uncollectible amounts. If there is an adverse change in the financial condition of the Company’s customers, or if actual defaults are higher than provided for, an addition to the allowance may be necessary.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market

conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Property, Machinery and Equipment

Property, machinery and equipment are valued at cost. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets:

Buildings	20 years
Machinery and equipment	5-12 years
Office equipment and software	3-5 years
Tools and dies	12 months
Leasehold improvements	term of lease

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to selling and administrative expenses as incurred.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain the Company’s long-term debt and are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt. Deferred financing fees of $8,756 and $90,302, net of accumulated amortization of $238,354 and $156,808 as of April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are classified in other long-term assets on the Company’s balance sheet.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized. See Note H—Income Taxes, Page F-22.

NOTE B—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES—Continued

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options had been exercised. At April 30, 2012 and 2011, there were 400,190 and 395,190 anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively, which have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order. Finished goods inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements. The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records shipping and handling costs within selling and administrative expenses. Customers are typically invoiced for shipping costs. Shipping and handling costs were not material to the financial statements for fiscal years 2012 or 2011.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants exclusive of any transaction costs. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1:	Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:	Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:	Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses which approximate fair value at April 30, 2012, due to their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the Company’s debt obligations approximate fair value based on future payments discounted at current interest rates for similar obligations or interest rates which fluctuate with the market.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Stock Incentive Plans

Under the Company’s stock option plans, options to acquire shares of common stock have been made available for grant to certain employees and directors. Each option granted has an exercise price of not less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The contractual life of each option is generally 10 years. The vesting of the grants varies according to the individual options granted. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant date fair value and records that cost over the respective vesting period of the award.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

New Accounting Standards

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-13 for updated revenue recognition guidance under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-25, “Multiple-Element Arrangements”. The previous guidance has been retained for criteria to determine when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangements should be considered separate units of accounting, however the updated guidance removes the previous separation criterion that objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. This guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” to address questions that have been raised in practice about the intended breadth of the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 815-15-15-9 of ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The amended guidance clarifies that the scope exception applies to contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. This guidance was effective on August 1, 2010 for the Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

New Accounting Standards—Continued

In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding ASC No. 805, “Business Combinations,” on the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations. ASC No. 805 requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition. See Note N—Subsequent Events, Page F-31.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS,” which results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which was first applicable to the Company’s fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which requires disclosure of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 became effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. In December, the FASB has issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), that deferred the requirement to separately present within net income reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company adopted this guidance beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Intangibles, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Goodwill for impairment (revised topic).” The revised standard is intended to reduce the cost and complexity of the annual goodwill impairment test by providing entities an option to perform a “qualitative” assessment to determine whether further impairment testing is necessary. The revised standard is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted this guidance beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

The Company has not provided U.S. deferred taxes for a significant portion of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s intent is to keep unrepatriated funds indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and current plans do not demonstrate a need to fund U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at April 30, 3012 and 2011. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:

Interest related to tax positions taken in the Company’s tax returns are recorded in income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not record penalties in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, the Company completed an examination with the Internal Revenue Service related to fiscal years April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2009. The completion of the examination had no impact on the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits. The settlement of the examination resulted in an increase to tax expense of $6,143 related to interest on a deficiency notice.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2007. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal examinations by tax authorities for fiscal years before 2010.

NOTE I—401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

NOTE L—STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has stock option plans (“Option Plans”) under which certain employees and non-employee directors may acquire up to 1,753,500 shares of common stock. Options available for grant under the employee plans total 1,357,500, with the non-employee director plans allowing for a total of 396,000 options available for grant. All Option Plans have been approved by the Company’s shareholders. At April 30, 2012, the Company has 205,864 shares available for future issuance to employees under the employee plan and none under the non-employee director plan. The Option Plans are interpreted and administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. In fiscal year 2012, there were 150,000 options approved and available for grant by the Board of Directors. The maximum term of options granted under the Option Plans is generally 10 years. Options granted under the Option Plans are either incentive stock options or nonqualified options. Each Option under the Option Plans is exercisable for one share of stock. Options forfeited under the Option Plans are available for reissuance. Options granted under these plans are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

There were no options granted during fiscal year 2012 or 2011.

Option-valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company’s stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing method does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s stock options. When the Company does grant stock options, it uses the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the option grant to calculate the risk-free interest rate and the simplified method to calculate the weighted-average expected life, due to limited history. The expected dividend, volatility and forfeitures rates of options are based on historical experience and expected future results.

Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Cayman”), their subsidiaries and Seller’s affiliated entities, is engaged in the business of the design, manufacture, sale and distribution of electrical or electronic controls for appliances (the “Business”). Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to acquire and has acquired on May 31, 2012 certain “Acquired Assets” from or at the direction of the Seller (the “Transaction”). The Acquired Assets, which are listed in greater detail in the Purchase Agreement, consist of (i) all of the equity securities of DAC and Cayman and (ii) all of the assets used by or useful in the conduct of the Business.
