Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) projections of revenues, expenses, income or loss, earnings or loss per share, capital structure and other financial items; (ii) statements of plans, objectives and expectations of the Company or its management or board of directors, including those relating to products, revenue or cost savings; (iii) statements of future economic performance; and (iv) statements of assumptions underlying such statements.  Words such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "intends", "targeted", "projected", "continue", "remain", "will", "should", "may" and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on Management’s current knowledge and belief and include information concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future financial condition and results of operations. A number of factors, some of which are beyond the Company’s ability to predict or control, could cause future results to differ materially from those contemplated. These factors include but are not limited to risks related to (1) the Company’s ability to obtain necessary capital to finance its operations; (2) the Company’s ability to develop competitive products in a market with rapidly changing technology and standards; (3) the results of pending or threatened litigation; (4) risks related to customers’ credit worthiness/profiles; (5) changes in the Company’s credit profile and its ability to borrow; (6) a potential decline in demand for certain of the Company’s products; (7) potential product liability claims; (8) the potential loss of key personnel; (9) U.S. and international economic conditions and (10) the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effects of governmental responses to the pandemic. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business operations. The reader is directed to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2020 for further discussion of factors that could affect the Company's business and cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made in this report.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

(1)          Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Giga-tronics Incorporated (“Giga-tronics,” “Company” or “we”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring entries) necessary to make the consolidated results of operations for the interim periods a fair statement of such operations. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2020 for a discussion of our significant accounting policies. During the three months ended June 27, 2020, there were no material changes to these policies other than as disclosed below. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended March 28, 2020.

  

On December 12, 2019, the Company completed a one-for-fifteen reverse stock split of its common stock.  All shares and per share amounts included in the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split. 

 

Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Giga-tronics and its wholly owned subsidiary, Microsource, Inc. (“Microsource”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Leases

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02 - Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for similar to guidance for operating leases existing prior to ASC 842. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 as of March 31, 2019. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, which amends ASC Topic 842 to provide another transition method, allowing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings during the period of adoption. The Company has one long term office lease. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 on March 31, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $1.4 million, lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $1.8 million and no material impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations or Cash Flows. See below for further information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on the Company's financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, “Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” to simplify the accounting for share based transactions with nonemployees in which the grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed. Under the new standard, most of the guidance on recording share-based compensation granted to nonemployees are aligned with the requirements for share-based compensation granted to employees. This standard was effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued authoritative guidance under ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for most leases on the balance sheet and to provide expanded disclosures about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard effective March 31, 2019 using the optional transition method and did not restate comparative periods. There was no effect on accumulated deficit at adoption.

 

Practical Expedients Elected

 

The Company has elected the package of practical expedients to (a) not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (b) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (c) not reassess the accounting for initial direct costs. As a result, leases classified as operating leases prior to adoption of the new lease standard remain as operating leases and leases classified as capital leases prior to adoption of the new lease standard are now finance leases.

 (3)      Financed Receivables

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Financing Agreement (the “Restated Financing Agreement”) with Western Alliance Bank, as successor to Bridge Bank. The Restated Financing Agreement amends, restates and replaces a credit agreement with Bridge Bank dated May 6, 2015 (as previously amended, the “Previous Financing Agreement”) in its entirety.

 

Under the Restated Financing Agreement, Western Alliance Bank may advance up to 85% of the amounts of invoices issued by the Company, up to a maximum of $2.5 million in aggregate advances outstanding at any time. The Restated Financing Agreement eliminated a $500,000 non-formula borrowing base and an asset coverage ratio financial covenant included in the Previous Financing Agreement.

 

Under the Restated Financing Agreement, interest accrues on outstanding amounts at an annual rate equal to the greater of prime or 4.5% plus, in either case, an additional one percent. The Company is required to pay certain fees, including an annual facility fee of $14,700, to be paid in two equal semiannual installments. The Company’s obligations under the Restated Financing Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company and any domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain customary exceptions. The Restated Financing Agreement has no specified term and may be terminated by either the Company or Western Alliance Bank at any time.

 

The Restated Financing Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others: non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due; providing false or misleading representations and information; Western Alliance Bank failing to have an enforceable first lien on the collateral; cross-defaults with certain other indebtedness; certain undischarged judgments; bankruptcy, insolvency or inability to pay debts; and a change of control of the Company. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings increases by 500 basis points and Western Alliance Bank may declare the loans and all other obligations under the Restated Financing Agreement immediately due and payable.

 

As of June 27, 2020 and March 28, 2020, the Company’s total outstanding borrowings under the Restated Financing Agreement were $448,101 and $527,468, respectively, and are included in Loans payable, net of discounts and issuance costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

 

(4)        Term Loan, Revolving Line of Credit and Warrants 

 

On April 27, 2017, the Company entered into a $1.5 million loan agreement (the “PFG Loan Agreement”) with Partners For Growth (“PFG”), which was funded on April 28, 2017 (the “PFG Loan”). The PFG Loan Agreement originally provided for interest only payments during the term of the loan with principal and any accrued interest and fees due upon maturity, originally April 27, 2019. The PFG Loan bears interest at a fixed aggregate rate equal to 16% per annum, of which 9.5% per annum rate is payable monthly in cash and 6.5% per annum rate is accrued monthly and due upon maturity. In addition, the Company agreed to pay PFG a cash fee of up to $100,000 on maturity (the “back-end fee”), $76,000 of which was earned on April 27, 2017, and $24,000 of which was earned at the rate of $1,000 per month on the first day of each month thereafter provided any amount of the loan principal was outstanding during any day of the prior month.

 

In December 2018, the Company and PFG agreed to modify the PFG Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date from April 27, 2019 to November 1, 2019, to require the Company to pay all accrued interest on May 1, 2019 and to require the Company to make monthly prepayments of principal of $75,000 and accrued interest from May 1, 2019 until maturity. The effectiveness of the modification was conditioned on the Company raising $500,000 in additional equity capital. The Company satisfied this condition on March 30, 2019.

 

On March 11, 2019, the Company and PFG agreed to further modify the PFG Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date to March 1, 2020 and to add financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and minimum revenues.

On June 28, 2019, the Company and PFG agreed to further modify the PFG Loan Agreement to adjust the financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and minimum revenues. At December 28, 2019, the Company did not meet a covenant in the amended PFG Loan Agreement requiring the Company to achieve minimum cumulative revenues of $11 million for the first three quarters of its 2020 fiscal year, which constituted an event of default under the agreement. PFG waived this default on January 31, 2020.

 

On January 31, 2020, the Company and PFG further amended the PFG Loan Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity date from March 1, 2020 to March 1, 2021, to require the Company make a single principal payments of $75,000 on February 1, 2020 and monthly payments of $57,700 thereafter until maturity, and to modify and extend the minimum revenue financial covenant through the new maturity date. The PFG Loan Agreement continues to provide for an annual interest rate of 16%, of which 9.5% is payable monthly and 6.5% is deferred until maturity or payoff. Based on the current payment schedule, the remaining balance at maturity would be less than $200,000.

 

As of June 27, 2020 and March 28, 2020, the Company’s total outstanding loan balances were $619,200 and $792,300, respectively, and are included in Loans payable, net of discounts and issuance costs on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

 

(5)         Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act

 

On April 23, 2020, the Company borrowed $786,200 from Western Alliance Bank (the “PPP Loan”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act. The loan has been accounted for as a loan under ASC 470 Debt. The loan repayment will begin in November 2020. However, if forgiven, the loan will be accounted for under ASC 958-605, the gain will be shown outside of operating income, since it is not a part of the Company’s ongoing major or central business.

 

The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note dated April 21, 2020 (the “Promissory Note”), matures on April 23, 2022 and bears interest at a rate of 1.0% per annum. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing on November 1, 2020 and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. The Promissory Note contains other customary terms, including representations, events of defaults and remedies.

 

A portion of the principal outstanding and accrued interest under the PPP Loan is forgivable by the U.S. Small Business Administration if the Company uses the loan proceeds for certain purposes designated in the CARES Act, including payroll costs (as defined in the CARES Act), rents and utilities during the 24 weeks following the origination of the PPP Loan (“Eligible Purposes”) and otherwise complies with PPP requirements. To obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan, the Company must submit a request and provide satisfactory documentation regarding its compliance with applicable requirements. The Company must repay any unforgiven principal amount of the PPP Loan, with interest. The Company has used a significant portion of the proceeds of the Loan for Eligible Purposes and intends to seek forgiveness for those amounts after the 24 week period, although the Company may take action that could cause some or all of the PPP Loan to become ineligible for forgiveness.

 

 

(6)         Leases

 

Operating leases

Building - The Company has a non-cancelable operating lease for office, research and development, engineering, laboratory, storage and/or warehouse uses in Dublin, California for 77 months from April 1, 2017 through August 31, 2023. The Company agreed to pay an aggregate base rent of $2,384,913 for the period of 77 months, with an annual increase of $0.05 per rentable square foot for each subsequent year. The lease provided for rent abatement of $173,079 during the initial five months of the lease term, subject to the Company performing the terms and conditions required under the lease, and certain tenant improvements completed at the landlord’s expense of $358,095.

 

Per the terms of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company does not have any residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, the Company has elected to utilize its incremental borrowing rate. The Company has elected for facility operating leases to not separate each lease component from its associated non-lease components. The building lease includes variable payments (i.e. common area maintenance) which are charged and paid separately from rent based on actual costs incurred and therefore are not included in the right-of-use asset and liability but reflected in operating expense in the period incurred.

(7)         Fair Value

 

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurement and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the use of observable market data when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on active market data. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  

 

The fair value hierarchy is broken down into the three input levels summarized below:

  

     

•  

Level 1  —Valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and readily accessible by us at the reporting date. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs are certain money market funds, U.S. Treasuries and trading securities with quoted prices on active markets.

  

   

•  

Level 2  —Valuations based on inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly in active markets. Examples of assets and liabilities utilizing Level 2 inputs are U.S. government agency bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper, certificates of deposit and over-the- counter derivatives.

  

   

•  

Level 3  —Valuations based on unobservable inputs in which there are little or no market data, which require us to develop our own assumptions.

 

11

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash-equivalents and line of credit approximate their fair values at each balance sheet date due to the short-term maturity of these financial instruments, and generally result in inputs categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of the outstanding PFG Loan approximates the estimated aggregate fair value and classified with the loan host. The fair value estimate of the embedded equity forward is based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date, the risk-free rate, the date of expiration, and any expected cash distributions of the underlying asset before expiration. The estimated fair value of the embedded equity forward represents a Level 2 measurement.

 

There were no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and there were no assets or liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis at June 27, 2020 and March 28, 2020.

 

 

 (8)     Sale of Common Stock

 

On November 8, 2019, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 699,333 shares of its common stock at $3.75 per share. The net proceeds from the offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were approximately $2.1 million. The Company’s use of the net proceeds of this offering was for general corporate purposes, which included the repayment of debt. In connection with the offering, the Company granted the underwriter a warrant to purchase 20,980 shares of common stock at the price of $4.50 per share. The warrant is immediately exercisable and has a five-year term.

 

In addition, on November 8, 2019, the Company completed a private exchange offer in which it issued an aggregate of 896,636 shares of common stock in exchange for 88,600 shares of its Series E preferred shares and the dividends thereon. As a result, 9,200 shares of Series E preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation preference of $345,000 remained outstanding as of June 27, 2020 and March 28, 2020.

 

On March 11, 2020, the Company entered into Securities Purchase Agreements with two private investors for the sale of a total of 146,668 common shares at the price of $3.75 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $550,004. The sales were completed, and the shares of common stock were issued on March 11, 2020. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses of the private placement were $510,000.

 

 

(9)      Reverse Stock Split

 

On December 12, 2019, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to implement a 1-for-15 reverse split of its common stock.

 

The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 37,154,730 to 2,476,982 shares on December 12, 2019. The number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock was reduced in the same proportion to 13,333,333 shares of common stock.

 

As a result of the reverse stock split, each of the Company’s holders of common stock received one share of common stock for every 15 shares of common stock held immediately prior to the reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split and cash was paid in lieu of any fractional shares. The reverse stock split also reduced the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company’s outstanding shares of preferred stock and the exercise of its outstanding stock options and warrants in proportion to the ratio of the reverse stock split and caused a proportionate increase in the conversion and exercise prices of such preferred stock, stock options and warrants.

 

All share and per share amounts included in the financial statements have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the reverse stock split.

 

 

 (10)         Income Per Share

 

Basic income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) reflects the net incremental shares that would be issued if unvested restricted shares became vested and dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method. . In addition, certain options are considered antidilutive because assumed proceeds from exercise price, related tax benefits and average future compensation was greater than the weighted average number of options outstanding multiplied by the average market price during the period.

(11)          Stock-based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans

 

The Company maintains a 2018 Equity Incentive Plan providing for the issuance of up to 166,667 shares of common stock upon the exercise of options, stock awards and grants. As of June 27, 2020, there were 24,493 shares of common stock available for issuance of additional awards under the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan. No further awards will be issued under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan or its 2000 Stock Option Plan, though all awards under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan that are outstanding continue to be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in the plan and any applicable award agreement.

 

Outstanding options generally vest in one or more installments in a four or five-year period and must be exercised while the grantee is employed by the Company (or while providing services under a service arrangement in the case of non-employees) or within a certain period after termination of employment or service arrangement in the case of non-employees. All outstanding options have a ten-year life from the date of grant. Holders of options may be granted stock appreciation rights (SARs), which entitle them to surrender outstanding awards for a cash distribution under certain changes in ownership of the Company, as defined in the stock option plan. As of June 27, 2020, no SARs have been granted under any option plan. The Company records compensation cost associated with share-based compensation equivalent to the estimated fair value of the awards over the requisite service period. 

 

Stock Options

 

In calculating compensation related to stock option grants, the fair value of each stock option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model and the following weighted average assumptions:

The computation of expected volatility used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s share price. The expected term is estimated based on a review of historical employee exercise behavior with respect to option grants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates with maturity similar to the expected term of the option on the date of grant.

As of June 27, 2020, there was $364,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested options. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.48 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. There were 24,693 options that vested during the quarter ended June 27, 2020, and 13,819 options that vested during the quarter ended June 29, 2019. The total fair value of options vested during the quarters ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was $105,124 and $53,032 respectively. There were no options exercised in the three-month periods ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019. Share based compensation cost related to stock options recognized in operating results for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 totaled $68,000 and $51,000, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock

 

The Company granted no restricted awards (“RSAs”) during the first quarters of fiscal 2021 and 2020. RSAs are considered fixed awards as the number of shares and fair value at the grant date is amortized over the requisite service period net of estimated forfeitures. As of June 27, 2020, there was $24,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSAs. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.75 years and will be adjusted for subsequent changes in estimated forfeitures. Compensation cost recognized for RSAs and unrestricted stock awards in operating results for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 totaled $8,000 and $44,000, respectively

 (12)           Significant Customer and Industry Segment Information

 

The Company has two reportable segments: Microsource and the Giga-tronics Division. Microsource’s primary business is the design of custom Microwave Integrated Components as well as the production of MIC components using chip and wire assembly methods. Our Microsource Division offers a line of tunable, synthesized Band Reject Filters (BRF) for solving interference problems in RADAR/EW applications. Self-protection systems onboard high-performance military aircraft often require RADAR filters to block electromagnetic interference generated by other onboard electronic systems, particularly the aircraft’s main RADAR. These high-speed, tunable notch filters can quickly block interference from both continuous wave and wide bandwidth emissions. Using proprietary driver and phase lock technology, these filters offer tuning speeds that are up to ten times faster than traditional filter designs. We design these filters specifically for each application. Microsource’s two largest customers are prime contractors for which it develops and manufactures RADAR filters used in fighter jet aircraft.

 

14

 

The Giga-tronics Division designs, manufactures and markets a family of functional test products for the RADAR and Electronic Warfare (RADAR/EW) segment of the defense electronics market. Our RADAR/EW test products are used to evaluate and improve the performance of RADAR/EW systems.

(13)          Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method as codified in Topic 740. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.

 

The Company recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 27, 2020 and June 29, 2019 was 0% each year, primarily due to a valuation allowance recorded against the net deferred tax asset balance.

 

As of June 27, 2020, the Company had recorded $132,000 for unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions. The unrecognized tax benefit is netted against the non-current deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does not expect the liability for unrecognized tax benefits to change materially within the next 12 months.

 

 

(14)        Warranty Obligations

 

The Company records a liability in cost of goods and services for estimated warranty obligations at the date products are sold. Adjustments are made as new information becomes available. The following provides a reconciliation of changes in the Company’s warranty reserve. The Company provides no other guarantees.

Series E Senior Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock

 

On March 28, 2018, the Company issued and sold 42,800 shares of a newly designated series of 6.0% Series E Senior Convertible Voting Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series E Shares”) to approximately 15 investors in a private placement for gross proceeds of approximately $1.095 million. Net proceeds to the Company after fees and expenses were approximately $1.0 million. During the 2019 fiscal year, the Company issued and sold an additional 56,200 Series E Shares resulting in additional gross proceeds of $1,405,000 or approximately $1.2 million after fees and expenses of approximately $212,000.

 

Holders of Series E Shares are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, cumulative preferential dividends, payable semiannual in cash at a rate per annum equal to 6.0% of the initial purchase price of $25.00 per share or in-kind (at the Company’s election) through the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock, based on the 10 day volume weighted average price of the common stock. The deemed dividend is reflected on the face of the income statement as a decrease in net income to arrive at net income attributable to common shareholders.

 

Series E Exchange

 

The Company completed a private exchange offer on November 7, 2019, issuing an aggregate of 896,636 shares of common stock in exchange for 88,600 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the unpaid dividends accrued thereon. The shares of common stock issued in the exchange were issued in reliance on the exemption from registration set forth in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), though other exemptions may be available.

 

During the three months ended June 27, 2020, no additional Series E Shares were issued.

 (16)        COVID-19 (Coronavirus)

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and in March 2020 classified the outbreak as a pandemic. In March 2020, the President of the United States and the Governor of California declared a state of emergency, based on the rapid increase in COVID-19 cases including in California. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented a number of measures intended to ensure the safety of personnel and the continuity of operations. Following a mandated shut down in March 2020, the Company was designated as an essential business and has largely returned to “business as usual,” though it continues to implement and follow the protective measures described above.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the global, national and local economy. The overall economic and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the areas in which the Company and its customers and suppliers operates is not known and cannot be predicted at this time. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is uncertainty about the duration and the total economic impact. If this situation is prolonged, the pandemic could cause additional delays and could have a short- or long-term adverse impact, possibly material, on the Company’s future financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The forward-looking statements included in this report including, without limitation, statements containing the words "believes", "anticipates", "estimates", "expects", "intends" and words of similar import, which reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known, involve risks and uncertainties. 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 listed in Giga-tronics’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 Part I, under the heading “Risk Factors”, and Part II, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations”.

 

Overview and Refocusing of Giga-tronics

 

We manufacture specialized electronics equipment for use in both military test and airborne operational applications. Our operations consist of two business segments, those of our wholly owned subsidiary, Microsource, and those of our Giga-tronics Division.

 

Microsource

 

Microsource’s primary business is the design of custom microwave products and the production of microwave components using chip and wire assembly methods. Microsource offers a line of tunable, synthesized Band Reject Filters for solving interference problems in RADAR/EW applications. Electronic attack systems onboard high-performance fighter jets often require RADAR filters to block electromagnetic interference generated by other onboard electronic systems, particularly the aircraft’s main RADAR. Our high-speed, tunable notch filters can quickly block interference from both continuous wave and wide bandwidth emissions. Using proprietary driver and phase lock technology, our filters offer tuning speeds that are up to ten times faster than traditional filter designs. We custom design these filters specifically for each application.

 

Microsource’s revenues have grown over time as prime contractors have begun to upgrade the RADAR systems of an increasing variety of aircraft. Initially Microsource supplied filters for one fighter jet, the F/A-18E. During our 2014 fiscal year, the prime contractor added a second aircraft, the F-15. Additionally, during our 2017 fiscal year, a second prime contractor began to upgrade a third aircraft, the F-16. As a result, Microsource’s revenue was $8.2 million for our fiscal year ended March 28, 2020 as we delivered filters for approximately 100 aircrafts. We believe there are over 3,000 potential domestic and foreign F-15, F-16 and F-18 aircraft that have not been upgraded. Microsource is a sole-source supplier of filters for these three fighter jets and we expect that the business will continue to be a significant source of our future revenue.

 

Giga-tronics Division

 

Our Giga-tronics Division designs, manufactures and markets a family of functional test systems for the RADAR and Electronic Warfare (RADAR/EW) segment of the defense electronics market. Our RADAR/EW test systems are used to evaluate and improve the performance of RADAR systems and EW counter measures, such as jammers. Giga-tronics Division customers include major defense prime contractors, the armed services (primarily in the United States) and research institutes.

 

Our goal is to become a leading supplier of test solutions for evaluating defense RADAR and EW systems. The same digital technology that has revolutionized commercial communications, consumer and automotive electronics is now being applied to advanced RADAR and EW systems. This shift in technology limits the effectiveness of traditional test solutions that are unable to actively interact with the RADAR and EW systems being tested. In contrast to traditional test systems, we specifically architected the Giga-tronics testing platform like a RADAR to offer sophisticated control and real-time behavior that supports active interaction with the devices under test. To our knowledge, no other RADAR/EW test system offers real time responses and closed loop behavior in the same manner as our technology.

 

We believe our RADAR/EW test solution offers several competitive advantages:

 

1.

Our RADAR/EW solution was designed specifically for generating realistic RADAR signals for testing purposes.

 

2.

Our RADAR/EW solution was architected to offer real-time, dynamic, closed-loop behavior that can interact with the devices under test for fully evaluating and improving RADAR and EW performance.

 

3.

Our RADAR/EW solution features digital processing hardware and firmware, creating a test solution that may be customized with relative ease compared to traditional test systems.

 

Our RADAR/EW solution is scalable, allowing us to build test systems with multiple channels that scale well both in terms of size and costs compared to traditional systems.

Significant Orders

 

Both Microsource and the Giga-tronics Division have historically received a limited number of large customer orders periodically. The timing of orders is sporadic and difficult to predict, and any achievement of associated milestones, can cause significant differences in orders received, backlog, sales, deferred revenue, inventory and cash flow when comparing one fiscal period to another. Below is a review of certain previously received significant orders:

 

Microsource

 

In fiscal 2015, Microsource received a $6.5 million order for non-recurring engineering (“NRE”) services and for delivery of a limited number of flight-qualified prototype hardware from a prime defense contractor to develop a variant of our high performance, fast tuning YIG RADAR filters for a fighter jet aircraft platform. In fiscal 2016 our Microsource business unit finalized an associated multiyear $10.0 million YIG production order. We started shipping the YIG Production Order in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 and completed deliverables in fiscal 2020.

 

In September 2017, Microsource received a $4.8 million order for continuing the YIG RADAR filter for a fighter jet platform. The Company began initial shipments of these filters in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018 and recognized revenue on the majority of the order in fiscal 2019.

 

In February 2018, Microsource received a $1.6 million YIG RADAR filter order from one of our customers. The Company recognized $1.1 million of revenue in fiscal 2019 and recognized the remainder of revenue in fiscal 2020.

 

In November 2018, Microsource received a $4.5 million YIG RADAR filter order from one of our customers.  The Company recognized revenue in fiscal 2019 and 2020 of $1.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively, and will recognize the remaining revenue in fiscal year 2021.

 

In June 2019, Microsource received two orders totaling $3.7 million from Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The Company recognized revenue of $2.2 million in fiscal 2020 with respect to these orders and expects to recognize the remainder of the revenue through fiscal 2022.

 

In September 2019, Microsource received two YIG RADAR filter orders totaling $2.9 million from Boeing Company. The Company recognized $1.0 million in revenue associated with these orders in fiscal 2020 and expects to recognize the remainder of the revenue through fiscal 2023.

 

Giga-tronics Division

 

In February 2019, the Giga-tronics Division received a $4.0 million order from the United States Navy for our customized Real-Time Threat Emulation System (TEmS) solution, which is specifically tailored for their application. The order is comprised of two TEmS units of equal value along with approximately $671,000 of engineering services to support and upgrade currently installed systems. The Company fulfilled the first TEmS unit order in the March 2019 quarter, the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal 2019. The second TEmS unit order was fulfilled during the June 2019 quarter, the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2020. Approximately $550,000 of the engineering services were completed in fiscal 2020 with the remainder expected to be completed in fiscal 2021.

 

In March 2020, the Giga-tronics Division received a $1.5 million order from the United States Navy for mission critical upgrade kits to existing fielded Radar Threat Generation Systems. Approximately $752,000 was recognized as revenue in fiscal 2020 and approximately $708,000 was recognized as revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 for a total to date of $1.46 million recognized as revenue.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Please refer to the section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 28, 2020 entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” for a discussion of our critical accounting policies. During the three months ended June 27, 2020, there were no material changes to these policies other than as disclosed in Note 1 Organization and Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements included with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates based on the information available that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet dates and revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. While we believe that these accounting policies and estimates are based on sound measurement criteria, actual future events can and often do result in outcomes that can be materially different from these estimates and forecasts.

New orders received in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased to $431,000 from $3,956,000 received in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Giga-tronics Division had a minimal increase in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The Microsource business unit experienced a 97% decrease in orders in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 which was attributable to significant RADAR filters orders received in the comparable prior year period. The timing of receipt of expected large RADAR filter contracts varies from period to period.

Total

  $ 3,636     $ 7,146       (49 )%

 

Backlog at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased 49% compared to the prior year. Giga-tronics Division backlog at June 27, 2020 was $115,000, a 78% decrease from the comparable prior year date due to revenue recognition associated with a U.S. Navy order service contract during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 and the absence of significant new orders to offset the reduction. Microsource saw a 47% decrease in backlog in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 which was primarily due the revenue recognition associated with certain Microsource YIG filter contracts and the absence of significant new orders to offset the reduction. Backlog amounts for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 reflect the impact of adoption of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), in which the Company recognizes revenue for certain contracts as it incurs costs and production service activities, as opposed to when completed units are delivered.

Total operating expenses remained relatively even in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 with the first quarter of fiscal 2020. Engineering expenses increased $82,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 versus with comparable prior year period, primarily due to an increase in Research and Development (“R&D”) personnel and additional R&D expenditures in connection with the development efforts of EW/RADAR test products in both the Dublin and New Hampshire facilities. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $78,000 primarily due to a decrease in headcount and personnel related expenses.

 

Interest Expense

 

Net interest expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $33,000, a decrease of $43,000 over the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2020. Interest expense decreased primarily due to a reduction in the accretion of the PFG loan discount which went to zero in the first quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to $19,000 in the same period of fiscal 2020 as well as from lower outstanding borrowings under the PFG and Western Alliance Bank loan agreements.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was $72,000 compared to $15,000 recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The increase in first quarter fiscal 2021 net income was primarily due to the minor increase in net sales and lower net interest expense.

The Company had working capital of $3.8 million at June 27, 2020 compared to $3.7 million at March 28, 2020. The current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) at June 27, 2020 was 1.96 compared to 2.09 at March 28, 2020. The increase in working capital during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to the PPP Loan proceeds ($786,200) which was partially offset by PFG loan repayments and lease principal payments.

Net cash used in investing activities

          (22 )

Net cash provided by financing activities

  $ 424     $ 335  

  

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Cash used by operating activities during the three months ended June 27, 2020 was $439,000. Net cash used in operating activities during this period was primarily attributable to changes in our operating assets and liabilities accounts of $598,000, partially offset by our net income, other non-cash charges of $42,000 for depreciation and amortization and $76,000 for share-based compensation.

 

Cash used by operating activities during the three months ended June 29, 2019 of $181,000 was primarily attributable to changes in our working capital accounts, offset by our net income, other non-cash charges of $47,000 for depreciation and amortization and $95,000 for share-based compensation.

 

We expect that cash flows from operating activities will fluctuate in future periods due to a number of factors including our operating results, amounts of non-cash charges, and the timing of our billings, collections and disbursements.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 was zero.

 

Cash used in investing activities for the three-month period ended June 29, 2019 was $22,000 which was primarily attributable to the acquisition of engineering equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended June 27, 2020 was $424,000, primarily due to proceeds from the PPP Loan, partially offset by principal payments on the PFG Loan and leases.

 

Cash provided by financing activities for the three-month period ended June 29, 2019 was $335,000, primarily due to proceeds from the Company’s borrowings under the Western Alliance Bank arrangement.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

A non-GAAP financial measure is generally defined by the SEC as a numerical measure of a company’s historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that includes or excludes amounts from the most directly comparable measure under GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative to, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded from these measures.

 

We measure our operating performance in part based on EBITDA which is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used but is not a recognized accounting term under GAAP. We use EBITDA to monitor and facilitate internal evaluation of the performance of our business operations, to facilitate external comparison of our business results to those of others in our industry, and to plan and evaluate operating budgets. We believe that our measure of EBITDA provides useful information to the public regarding our operating performance and ability to service debt and fund capital expenditures and may help our investors understand and compare our results to other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Other companies may calculate their measures of comparative measures. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, but instead as a supplemental to, income from operations, net income, cash flows from operating activities, or other income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

 

We define EBITDA as earnings before income taxes, net interest expense, net other income or expense, share based compensation and depreciation and amortization expense. In the following reconciliation, we provide amounts as reflected in our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements unless otherwise noted.
