Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed under "Certain Factors Which May Adversely Affect Future Operations Or An Investment In Giga-tronics" in Item 1 below and in Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis", incorporated by reference on pages 15 through 16 of the Company's 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders. ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Giga-tronics Incorporated (Giga-tronics) includes operations of Giga-tronics Instrument division, ASCOR, Inc. (ASCOR), DYMATIX, which is a joint venture of Viking Semiconductor Equipment, Inc. (Viking) and Ultracision, Inc.(Ultracision), and Microsource, Inc. (Microsource). Giga-tronics designs, manufactures and markets through its Giga-tronics Instrument division, a broad line of test and measurement equipment used in the development, test and maintenance of wireless communications products and systems, flight navigational equipment, electronic defense systems and automatic testing systems. These products are used primarily in the design, production, repair and maintenance of commercial telecommunications, radar, and electronic warfare. Giga-tronics was incorporated on March 5, 1980, and its principal executive offices are located at 4650 Norris Canyon Road, San Ramon, California, and its telephone number at that location is (925) 328-4650. Effective July 23, 1996, Giga-tronics acquired ASCOR. ASCOR, located in Fremont, California, designs, manufactures, and markets a line of switching and connecting devices that link together many specific purpose instruments that comprise a portion of automatic test systems. ASCOR offers a family of switching and interface test adapters as standard VXI configured products, as well as complete system integration services to the Automatic Test Equipment market. Effective June 27, 1997, Giga-tronics completed a merger with Viking by issuing approximately 420,000 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of Viking. Viking, which is now located in Santa Clara, California, manufactures and markets a line of optical inspection equipment used to manufacture and test semiconductor devices. Products include die attachments, automatic die sorters, tape and reel equipment, and wafer inspection equipment. Effective December 2, 1997, Giga-tronics completed a merger with Ultracision by issuing approximately 517,000 shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of the common stock of Ultracision. Ultracision is a manufacturer of automation equipment for the test and inspection of silicon wafers. Ultracision also produces a line of probers for the testing and inspection of silicon devices. Effective May 18, 1998, Giga-tronics acquired Microsource. All the outstanding shares of Microsource were exchanged for $1,500,000 plus contingent payments based on earnings from Microsource from 1998 to 2000, which amounts were nominal. Microsource located in Santa Rosa, California develops and manufactures a broad line of YIG (Yttrium, Iron, Garnet) tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers, which are used by its customers in manufacturing a wide variety of microwave instruments or devices. 3 4 Giga-tronics intends to broaden its product lines and expand its market, both by internal development of new products and through the acquisition of other business entities. From time to time, the Company considers a variety of acquisition opportunities. Industry Segments The Company manufactures products used in test, measurement and handling. The Company operates primarily in four operating segments; Giga-tronics Instruments, ASCOR Inc., Microsource Inc. and DYMATIX (formerly the Semiconductor Equipment Group). Products and Markets Giga-tronics Instruments The Giga-tronics Instrument segment produces signal sources, generators and sweepers, and power measurement instruments for use in the microwave and RF frequency range (10 kHz to 75 GHz). Within each product line are a number of different models and options allowing customers to select frequency range and specialized capabilities, features and functions. The end-user markets for these products can be divided into three broad segments: commercial telecommunications, radar and electronic warfare. This segment's instruments are used in the design, production, repair and maintenance and calibration of other manufacturers' products, from discrete components to complex systems. ASCOR Inc. The ASCOR Inc. segment produces switch modules, and interface adapters that operate with a bandwidth from direct current (DC) to 18 GHz. This segment's switch modules may be incorporated within its customer's automated test equipment. The end-user markets for these products are primarily related to electronic warfare, though the VXI architecture may become more accepted by the telecommunications market. DYMATIX (formerly the Semiconductor Equipment Group) The DYMATIX segment manufactures and markets a line of optical inspection equipment used in the testing of semiconductor devices. Products include die attachments, automatic die sorters, tape and reel equipment, and wafer inspection equipment. Further, DYMATIX manufacturers automation equipment for the test inspection and robotic handling of silicon wafers in addition to a line of probers for the testing and inspection of silicon devices. Microsource Inc. The Microsource segment develops and manufactures a broad line of YIG (Yttrium, Iron, Garnet) tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers, which are used by its customers in manufacturing a wide variety of microwave instruments or devices. Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Components Substantially all of the components required by Giga-tronics to make its assemblies are available from more than one source. The Company occasionally uses sole source arrangements to obtain leading-edge technology, favorable pricing or supply terms. Although extended delays in delivering components could result in longer product delivery schedules, the Company believes that its protection against this possibility stems from its practice of dealing with well-established suppliers and maintaining good relationships with such suppliers. 4 5 Patents and Licenses The Company attempts to obtain patents when appropriate. However, the Company believes that its competitive position depends primarily on the creative ability and technical competence of its personnel and the timely introduction of new products rather than on the ownership or development of patents. The Company licenses certain instrument operating system software from third parties. The Company believes, based on industry practice, that any additional licenses necessary could be obtained on conditions which would not have a materially adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company. Seasonal Nature of Business The business of the Company is not seasonal. Working Capital Practices Giga-tronics does not believe that it has any special practices or special conditions affecting working capital items that are significant for an understanding of its business. Importance of Limited Number of Customers The Company had been a leading supplier of microwave and radio frequency (RF) test instruments to various U.S. Government defense agencies, as well as to their prime contractors. Management anticipates sales to U.S. Government agencies will remain significant in fiscal 2002, even though the outlook for defense-related orders continues to be soft. Defense-related agencies accounted for 11% of net sales in fiscal 2001, 16% in fiscal 2000, and 24% in fiscal 1999. Commercial business accounted for 89% of net sales in fiscal 2001, 84% in fiscal 2000, and 76% in fiscal 1999. In the past several years, sales to the defense industry in general, and direct sales to the United States and foreign government agencies in particular, have declined. Giga-tronics believes this decrease of product orders, and the resulting decline in defense sales revenues, is indicative of the worldwide decline in governmental defense spending. Any further decline in defense orders as a consequence of the foregoing circumstance, or otherwise, could harm the business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows of Giga-tronics. In addition during 2001, a Japanese distributor of the Company, Midoriya, accounted for 10% of Giga-tronics consolidated sales. Backlog of Orders On March 31, 2001, the Company's backlog of unfilled orders was $39,964,000 compared to $34,128,000 at March 25, 2000. As of March 31, 2001, there were approximately $7,245,000 unfilled orders that were scheduled for shipment beyond a year, as compared to approximately $10,201,000 at March 25, 2000. Orders for the Company's products include program orders from both the U.S. Government and defense contractors, with extended delivery dates. Accordingly, the backlog of orders may vary substantially from quarter to quarter and the backlog entering any single quarter may not be indicative of sales for any period. Backlog includes only those customer orders for which a delivery schedule has been agreed upon between the Company and the customer and, in the case of U.S. Government orders, for which funding has been appropriated. A portion of the year-end backlog consists of U.S. Government contracts. These contracts contain customary provisions permitting termination at the convenience of the U.S. Government upon payment of a negotiated cancellation charge. The Company never has experienced a significant U.S. government contract termination. 5 6 Competition Giga-tronics is engaged in a highly competitive field. Competition from numerous existing companies is intense and potential new entrants are expected to increase. The Company's instrument, switch, oscillator and synthesizer products compete with Hewlett Packard, Anritsu, Racal, IFR and Rohde & Schwarz while the semiconductor equipment products compete with various other competitors. Many of these companies have substantially greater research and development, manufacturing, marketing, financial, technological, personnel and managerial resources than Giga-tronics. There can be no assurance that any products developed by these competitors will not gain greater market acceptance than any developed by Giga-tronics. Accordingly, Giga-tronics will be required to continue to devote substantial resources and efforts to marketing and research and development activities. Sales and Marketing Giga-tronics Instruments, ASCOR Inc., DYMATIX and Microsource Inc. market their products through various distributors and representatives to commercial and government customers, although not necessarily through the same distributors and representatives. Product Development Products of the type manufactured by Giga-tronics historically have had relatively long product life cycles. However, the electronics industry is subject to rapid technological changes at the component level. The future success of the Company is dependent on its ability to steadily incorporate advancements in component technologies into its new products. Product development expense was approximately $5,087,000 in fiscal 2001, $4,180,000 in fiscal 2000, and $5,313,000 in fiscal 1999. Activities included the development of new products and the improvement of existing products. It is management's intention to maintain or increase expenditures for product development at levels required to sustain its competitive position. All of the Company's product development activities are internally funded and expensed as incurred. Giga-tronics expects to continue to make significant investments in research and development. There can be no assurance that future technologies, processes or product developments will not render Giga-tronics' current product offerings obsolete or that Giga-tronics will be able to develop and introduce new products or enhancements to existing products, which satisfy customer needs, in a timely manner or achieve market acceptance. The failure to do so could adversely affect Giga-tronics' business. Manufacturing The assembly and testing of Giga-tronics Instrument's microwave, RF and power measurement products are done at its San Ramon facility. The assembly and testing of ASCOR's switching and connecting devices are done at its Fremont facility. The assembly and testing of the DYMATIX products are done at its Santa Clara facility. The assembly and testing of Microsource's line of YIG (Yttrium, Iron, Garnet) tuned oscillators, filters and microwave synthesizers are done at its Santa Rosa facility. Environment To the best of its knowledge, the Company is in compliance with all federal, state and local laws and regulations involving the protection of the environment. Employees As of March 31, 2001, Giga-tronics employed 313 individuals on a full time basis. Management believes that the future success of the Company depends on its ability to attract and retain skilled 6 7 personnel. None of the Company's employees are represented by a labor union, and the Company considers its employee relations to be good. Information about Foreign Operations The Company sells to its international customers through a network of foreign technical sales representative organizations. Sales to foreign customers were approximately $22,072,000 in fiscal 2001, $14,468,000 in fiscal 2000, and $7,665,000 in fiscal 1999. The Company has a United Kingdom (UK) research & development facility for the Instruments division which has $161,000 in assets. Otherwise the Company has no other foreign-based operations or material amounts of identifiable assets in foreign countries. Its gross margins on foreign and domestic sales are similar. Certain Factors Which May Adversely Affect Future Operations Or An Investment In Giga-tronics Business climate may become volatile Giga-tronics has a significant number of defense-related orders. If the defense market should soften, shipments in the current year could decrease more than current projected shipments with a concurrent decline in earnings. The Company's commercial product backlog has a number of risks and uncertainties such as the cancellation or deferral of orders, dispute over performance and our ability to collect amounts due under these orders. If this occurs, then shipments in the current year could decrease more than current projected shipments resulting in a decline in earnings. Giga-tronics sales are substantially dependent on the wireless industry Giga-tronics sells directly or indirectly to customers and equipment manufacturers in the wireless industry. Currently, this industry is undergoing dramatic and rapid change. As such, the business that Giga-tronics records could decrease or existing recorded backlog could be stretched or deferred resulting in less than projected shipments. These reduced shipments may have a material adverse effect on operations. Giga-tronics' markets involve rapidly changing technology and standards The market for electronics equipment is characterized by rapidly changing technology and evolving industry standards. Giga-tronics believes that its future success will depend in part upon its ability to develop and commercialize its existing products and to develop new products and application and in part to develop, manufacture and successfully introduce new products and product lines with improved capabilities and to continue to enhance existing products. There can be no assurance that Giga-tronics will successfully complete the development of current or future products or that such products will achieve market acceptance. Giga-tronics acquisitions may not be effectively integrated and their integration may be costly As part of its business strategy, Giga-tronics intends to broaden its product lines and expand its markets, in part through the acquisition of other business entities. Giga-tonics is subject to various risks in connection with any future acquisitions. Such risks include, among other things, the difficulty of assimilating the operations and personnel of the acquired companies, the potential disruption of the Company's business, the inability of management to maximize the financial and strategic position of the Company by the successful incorporation of acquired technology and rights into its product offerings, the maintenance of uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies, and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. No assurance can be given that any acquisition by Giga-tronics will or will not occur, that if an acquisition does occur, that it will not materially harm the Company or that any such acquisition will be successful in enhancing the Company's business. The Company currently 7 8 contemplates that future acquisitions may involve the issuance of additional shares of common stock. Any such issuance may result in dilution to all Giga-tronics shareholders, and sales of such shares in significant volume by the shareholders of acquired companies may depress the price of its common stock. Giga-tronics' common stock price is volatile The market price of the Company's common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, shortfalls in revenues or earning from levels expected by securities analysts and other factors such as announcements of technological innovations or new products by Giga-tronics or by competitors, government regulations or developments in patent or other proprietary rights. In addition, the NASDAQ National Market and other stock markets have experienced significant price fluctuations in recent periods. These fluctuations often have seemingly been unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded. Broad market fluctuations, as well as general foreign and domestic economic conditions, may adversely affect the market price of the common stock. Giga-tronics stock at any time has historically traded on thin volume on NASDAQ. Sales of a significant volume of stock could result in a depression of Giga-tronics share prices. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES As of March 31, 2001, Giga-tronics principal executive office and the Instrument divisions' marketing, sales and engineering offices and manufacturing facilities for its microwave and RF signal generator and power measurement products are located in approximately 47,300 square feet in San Ramon, California, which the Company occupies under a lease agreement expiring December 31, 2006. ASCOR's marketing, sales and engineering offices and manufacturing facilities for its switching and connecting devices are located in approximately 18,756 square feet in Fremont, California, under a lease that expires on June 30, 2006.
