On June 30, 2011, certain of the Company's subsidiaries, together referred to as MtronPTI, entered into a loan agreement with Chase (the "Chase Loan Agreement"). The Chase Loan Agreement currently provides for the following credit facilities: (i) a revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,500,000, to be used solely for working capital needs (the "Chase Revolving Loan") and (ii) a term loan in the amount of $536,000 (the "Chase Term Loan"). The Chase Revolving Loan bears interest at the greater of (x) Chase's prime rate or (y) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum (the "CB Rate"), with interest due and payable on a monthly basis and the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on June 30, 2013. The Chase Term Loan bears interest at 5.00% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable in monthly installments of $29,500 and the outstanding principal balance, plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on January 31, 2013.  The Chase Loan Agreement previously provided for a commercial line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 (the "Chase Commercial Loan"), which expired on June 30, 2012 and was not renewed.  The Chase Commercial Loan bore interest at the CB Rate, with interest due and payable on a monthly basis and the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on June 30, 2012.  There was no amount outstanding under the Chase Commercial Loan at the time it expired on June 30, 2012, or at December 31, 2011.

All outstanding obligations of MtronPTI under the Chase Loan Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of MtronPTI, excluding real property. Additionally, in connection with the Chase Loan Agreement, PTI entered into a separate agreement with Chase providing that PTI would not mortgage or otherwise encumber certain real property it owns in Florida while the credit facilities under the Chase Loan Agreement are outstanding.
The Chase Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, a financial covenant that MtronPTI maintain tangible net worth not less than $8,000,000.
On June 28, 2012, MtronPTI entered into a First Amendment to Master Loan Agreement with Chase, which amended the Chase Loan Agreement to delete financial covenants relating to the maintenance of minimum levels of net income and a minimum debt service coverage ratio.  On May 15, 2012, MtronPTI made a cash collateral deposit of $4,000,000 with Chase as additional security for its obligations under the Chase Loan Agreement and entered into an Assignment of Deposit agreement with Chase providing Chase with a security interest in the account holding the deposit.
On September 28, 2012, MtronPTI entered into a Second Amendment to Master Loan Agreement with Chase, which (i) amended the minimum tangible net worth covenant to set the amount at not less than $8,000,000, (ii) provided for the renewal and reduction of the Chase Revolving Loan to $1,500,000 and (iii) adjusted the requirements for calculating the Chase Revolving Loan borrowing base. In connection with the reduction of the Chase Revolving Loan, Chase reduced the amount of cash collateral deposit secured by the Assignment of Deposit agreement to $1,500,000.

The amount of the cash collateral deposit with Chase is included in restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.  The related Assignment of Deposit agreement restricts MtronPTI's ability to withdraw any portion of the deposit and does not allow MtronPTI to assign the deposit or any part thereof.

As of September 30, 2012, MtronPTI was in compliance with all covenants under the Chase Loan Agreement.

E.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption. The fair value of grants was calculated using historical volatility as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Stock Compensation , also requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on past history of actual performance, a zero forfeiture rate has been assumed.
On August 9, 2012, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase a total of 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock to members of senior management. These stock options have an exercise price of $10.00 and vest as follows: 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date.  These stock options expire on August 9, 2017.
Page 9
On February 29, 2012, the Board of Directors granted a total of 7,132 restricted shares to 14 employees of the Company. These shares vest as follows: 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date.
On March 14, 2011, the Board of Directors granted options to purchase a total of 90,000 shares of the Company's common stock to members of senior management and the Company's Chairman of the Board. These stock options have an exercise price of $22.50 and vest as follows: 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date.  These stock options expire on March 14, 2016.
Restricted stock awards are granted at a value equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant.
As of September 30, 2012, there was approximately $719,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements.
F.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
The Company computes earnings (loss) per share in accordance ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260").  Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share adjusts basic earnings (loss) per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive.  Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Board of Directors as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were options to purchase 130,000 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive, based on the fact that their exercise price exceeded the market price of the common stock as of September 30, 2012. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, there were options to purchase 90,000 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted earnings (loss) per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive, based on the fact that their exercise price exceeded the market price of the common stock as of September 30, 2011.
G.

Results of Operations
Three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to three months ended September 30, 2011
Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin
Consolidated revenues decreased by $2,322,000, or 24.1%, to $7,307,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $9,629,000 for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to reduced demand from existing customers for existing products in our Internet Communications Technology ("ICT") and Military, Aeronautics and Instrumentation ("Mil/Aero") market segments, as well as the effects of weakness in the global macroeconomic environment.  Specifically, decreases in ICT were driven by weakness in telecommunications network infrastructure spending during the second half of 2011 and the first three quarters of 2012, and decreases in Mil/Aero were due to uncertainty related to government budget and spending cycles. The Company is continuing its efforts to gain market share with new and existing customers in all of its geographic regions, and by focusing research and development efforts on the development of products that will serve additional segments of the timing and frequency control markets, such as wireless infrastructure, energy exploration, homeland security, avionics and military personnel protection.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company's order backlog was $8,745,000, which was a decrease of 8.2% compared to the backlog as of June 30, 2012, which was $9,526,000, and a decrease of 4.1% compared to the backlog as of September 30, 2011, which was $9,119,000.  The decrease in backlog from June 30, 2012, is primarily due to a modest decrease in order activity from our existing customers in the Mil/Aero market segment, as well as continued delays in infrastructure investment affecting our Telecommunications market segment.  The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as other agreements we have determined are legally binding and likely to proceed.  Although backlog represents only business that is considered likely to be performed, cancellations or scope adjustments may and do occur.
Backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any.  The Company expects to fill substantially its entire current backlog within the next twelve months, but cannot provide assurance as to the portion of the backlog to be fulfilled in a given period.
Page 13

Consolidated gross margin, which is consolidated revenues less manufacturing cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues decreased to 24.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, from 28.0% for the comparable period in 2011. This decrease is due primarily to the 24.1% decrease in revenues from the comparable period in 2011, which eroded gross margin by spreading fixed infrastructure costs over a smaller revenue base.  The Company is continuing its efforts to improve gross margins by increasing its revenue base and by seeking cost efficiencies within its manufacturing supply chain.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating loss was ($456,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to operating income of $122,000 for the comparable period in 2011.  This decrease is primarily the result of the 24.1% decrease in revenues as compared to the same period in 2011.  The decrease was offset by a reduction of $328,000 in engineering, selling and administrative expenses as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the consolidation of certain administrative functions into the Company's headquarters in Orlando, Florida, and a decrease in sales commissions paid as a result of the lower level of revenues.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $23,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, which was a decrease of $18,000 from $41,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease was due to a reduction in the average outstanding balance on MtronPTI's credit facilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
Net Income (Loss)
The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was ($314,000) compared to net income of $91,000 for the comparable period in 2011.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the 24.1% decrease in revenues and a 3.5 percentage point decrease in gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. Basic and diluted net loss per share for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was ($0.12) compared with basic and diluted net income per share of $0.03 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.
Nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to nine months ended September 30, 2011
Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin
Consolidated revenues decreased by $6,232,000, or 22.0%, to $22,063,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, from $28,295,000 for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease is primarily due to reduced demand from existing customers for existing products in our ICT and Mil/Aero market segments, as well as the effects of weakness in the global macroeconomic environment.  Specifically, decreases in ICT were driven by weakness in telecommunications network infrastructure spending during the second half of 2011 and the first three quarters of 2012, and decreases in Mil/Aero were due to uncertainty related to government budget and spending cycles. The Company is continuing its efforts to gain market share with new and existing customers in all of its geographic regions, and by focusing research and development efforts on the development of products that will serve additional segments of the timing and frequency control markets, such as wireless infrastructure, energy exploration, homeland security, avionics and military personnel protection.
As of September 30, 2012, the Company's order backlog was $8,745,000, which was an increase of 1.3% compared to the backlog as of December 31, 2011, which was $8,634,000, and a decrease of 4.1% compared to the backlog as of September 30, 2011, which was $9,119,000 . The increase in backlog from December 31, 2011, is primarily due to a modest increase in order activity from our existing customers in the Mil/Aero market segment, as well as requests to accelerate existing order request dates to fall within the 12-month timeframe reflected in the order backlog. The backlog of unfilled orders includes amounts based on signed contracts as well as other agreements we have determined are legally binding and likely to proceed. Although backlog represents only business that is considered likely to be performed, cancellations or scope adjustments may and do occur.
Page 14
Backlog is adjusted quarterly to reflect project cancellations, deferrals, revised project scope and cost, and sales of subsidiaries, if any.  The Company expects to fill substantially its entire current backlog within the next twelve months, but cannot provide assurance as to the portion of the backlog to be fulfilled in a given period.
Consolidated gross margin, which is consolidated revenues less manufacturing cost of sales, as a percentage of revenues decreased to 24.5% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, from 30.8% for the comparable period in 2011.  This decrease is due primarily to the 22.0% decrease in revenues compared to the comparable period in 2011, which reduced gross margin by spreading fixed infrastructure costs over a smaller revenue base.  The Company is continuing its efforts to further improve its manufacturing and supply chain efficiency.
Operating Income (Loss)
Operating loss was ($1,547,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to operating income of $1,069,000 for the comparable period in 2011.  This decrease was primarily the result of the 22.0% decrease in revenues as compared to the same period in 2011.  The decrease was offset by a reduction of $691,000 in engineering, selling and administrative expenses as compared to the same period in 2011, primarily due to the consolidation of certain administrative functions into the Company's headquarters in Orlando, Florida, and a decrease in sales commissions paid as a result of the lower level of revenues.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $78,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, which was a decrease of $4,000 from $82,000 for the comparable period in 2011. The decrease was due to a reduction in the average outstanding balance on MtronPTI's credit facilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Net Income (Loss)
Net loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, was ($1,122,000) compared to net income of $678,000 for the comparable period in 2011.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a 22.0% decrease in revenues and a 6.3 percentage point decrease in gross margin for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011.  Basic and diluted net loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was ($0.43) compared with net earnings per share of $0.26 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2012, were $9,484,000 as compared to $13,709,000 at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, MtronPTI had approximately $1,450,000 outstanding and available borrowing capacity of $50,000 under the Chase Revolving Loan, compared with $3,026,000 outstanding and available borrowing capacity of $389,000 at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, the Company's consolidated working capital was $16,396,000 as compared to $18,118,000 at December 31, 2011.  At September 30, 2012, the Company had current assets of $21,716,000 and current liabilities of $5,320,000.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 4.08 to 1.00 at September 30, 2012, compared to 3.65 to 1.00 at December 31, 2011.
Cash provided by operating activities was $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1,600,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The decrease was due primarily to a net loss of ($1,122,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net income of $678,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a deferred tax benefit of $524,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to a deferred tax expense of ($213,000) during the same period in 2011.  The decrease in net income was partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $260,000 compared to an increase of ($38,000) during the same period in 2011, and a decrease in inventory of $242,000 compared to an increase of ($167,000) during the same period in 2011.
Page 15
Cash used in investing activities was ($805,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to ($1,285,000) for the same period in 2011.  The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in spending on software to replace the Company's enterprise resource planning systems since that project is nearing completion.
Cash used by financing activities was ($3,421,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $9,254,000 for the same period in 2011.  The change was due primarily to net repayments on notes payable to bank of ($1,576,000) as compared to net borrowings of $3,351,000 for the same prior year period, an increase in restricted cash of $1,500,000 which was assigned to Chase as additional security for the MtronPTI's obligations under the Chase Loan Agreement, and due to the Company's completion of its public offering of 350,000 shares of common stock in February 2011, resulting in net proceeds of $6,562,000.
At September 30, 2012, total liabilities of $5,320,000 were $1,508,000 less than the total liabilities at December 31, 2011, of $6,828,000.  The decrease in total liabilities was primarily due to a decrease in borrowings under the Chase Revolving Loan of $1,576,000 and the Chase Term Loan of $255,000, offset by an increase in accounts payable of $423,000. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $145,000 in current maturities of long-term debt compared with $400,000 at December 31, 2011.  The decrease is due to the scheduled repayments of the Chase Term Loan.
On June 30, 2011, MtronPTI entered into the Chase Loan Agreement with Chase. The Chase Loan Agreement currently provides for the following credit facilities: (i) a revolving line of credit in the amount of $1,500,000, to be used solely for working capital needs, referred to as the Chase Revolving Loan, and (ii) a term loan in the amount of $536,000, referred to as the Chase Term Loan. The Chase Revolving Loan bears interest at the greater of (x) Chase's prime rate or (y) the one-month LIBOR rate plus 2.50% per annum, referred to as the CB Rate, with interest due and payable on a monthly basis and the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on June 30, 2013. The Chase Term Loan bears interest at 5.00% per annum, with principal and interest due and payable in monthly installments of $29,500 and the outstanding principal balance, plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on January 31, 2013.  The Chase Loan Agreement previously provided for a commercial line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000 (the "Chase Commercial Loan"), which expired on June 30, 2012 and was not renewed.  The Chase Commercial Loan bore interest at the CB Rate, with interest due and payable on a monthly basis and the outstanding principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest due and payable on June 30, 2012.  There was no amount outstanding under the Chase Commercial Loan at the time it expired on June 30, 2012, or at December 31, 2011.
All outstanding obligations of MtronPTI under the Chase Loan Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in all of the assets of MtronPTI, excluding real property. Additionally, in connection with the Chase Loan Agreement, PTI entered into a separate agreement with Chase providing that PTI would not mortgage or otherwise encumber certain real property it owns in Florida while the credit facilities under the Chase Loan Agreement are outstanding.
The Chase Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, a financial covenant that MtronPTI maintain tangible net worth not less than $8,000,000.
On June 28, 2012, MtronPTI entered into a First Amendment to Master Loan Agreement with Chase, which amended the Chase Loan Agreement to delete financial covenants relating to the maintenance of minimum levels of net income and a minimum debt service coverage ratio.  On May 15, 2012, MtronPTI made a cash collateral deposit of $4,000,000 with Chase as additional security for its obligations under the Chase Loan Agreement and entered into an Assignment of Deposit agreement with Chase providing Chase with a security interest in the account holding the deposit.
Page 16
On September 28, 2012, MtronPTI entered into a Second Amendment to Master Loan Agreement with Chase, which (i) amended the minimum tangible net worth covenant to set the amount at not less than $8,000,000, (ii) provided for the renewal and reduction of the Chase Revolving Loan to $1,500,000 and (iii) adjusted the requirements for calculating the Chase Revolving Loan borrowing base. In connection with the reduction of the Chase Revolving Loan, Chase reduced the amount of cash collateral deposit secured by the Assignment of Deposit agreement to $1,500,000.

The amount of the cash collateral deposit with Chase is included in restricted cash in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012.  The related Assignment of Deposit agreement restricts MtronPTI's ability to withdraw any portion of the deposit and does not allow MtronPTI to assign the deposit or any part thereof.

As of September 30, 2012, MtronPTI was in compliance with all covenants under the Chase Loan Agreement.

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available borrowings on its revolving line of credit will be sufficient to meet its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.  However, the Company may need to seek additional capital to fund future growth in its business, to provide flexibility to respond to dynamic market conditions, or to fund its strategic growth objectives.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be reasonable given the circumstances. Actual results may vary from our estimates.
The Company's most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowance, valuation of inventories, accounting for warranty obligations, accounting for income taxes, and accounting for stock-based compensation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its product in accordance with the criteria in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition , which are:

‒
Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;
‒
Delivery has occurred;
‒
The seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and
‒
Collectability is reasonably assured.
Page 17
The Company meets these conditions upon shipment because title and risk of loss passes to the customer at that time.  However, the Company offers a limited right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions in its agreements with certain electronic component distributors who resell the Company's products to original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing services companies.  As a result, the Company estimates and records a reserve for future returns and other charges against revenue at the time of shipment consistent with the terms of sale. The reserve is estimated based on historical experience with each respective distributor.  The amount of these reserves at September 30, 2012, is not material to the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue related to transactions with a right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions when the following conditions are met:

‒
Seller's price to the buyer is  fixed or determinable at the date of sale;
‒
Buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product;
‒
Buyer's obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product;
‒
Buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller;
‒
Seller does not have obligations for future performance; and
‒
The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.

Accounts Receivable Allowance
Accounts receivable on a consolidated basis consists principally of amounts due from both domestic and foreign customers.  Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and collateral is not generally required.  In relation to export sales, the Company generally requires letters of credit supporting a significant portion of the sales price prior to production to limit exposure to credit risk.  Certain credit sales are made to industries that are subject to cyclical economic changes.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts at a level that management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses.
The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.  Estimates are based on historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and relationship between accounts receivable and revenues.  In determining these estimates, the Company examines historical write-offs of its receivables and reviews each client's account to identify any specific customer collection issues.  If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payment, additional allowances might be required.  The Company's failure to estimate the losses for doubtful accounts accurately and ensure that payments are received on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
The Company maintains a reserve for inventory based on estimated losses that result from inventory that becomes obsolete as of period end. In determining these estimates, the Company performs an analysis on demand and usage for each inventory item over historical time periods.  Based on that analysis, the Company reserves a percentage of the inventory amount within each time period based on historical demand and usage patterns of specific items in inventory.

Warranties
The Company offers a standard one-year warranty. The Company tests its products prior to shipment in order to ensure that they meet each customer's requirements based upon specifications received from each customer at the time its order is received and accepted. The Company's customers may request to return products for various reasons, including but not limited to the customers' belief that the products are not performing to specification. The Company's return policy states that it will accept product returns only with prior authorization and if the product does not meet customer specifications, in which case the product would be replaced or repaired. To accommodate the Company's customers, each request for return is reviewed, and if and when it is approved, a return materials authorization ("RMA") is issued to the customer. Each month the Company records a specific warranty reserve for approved RMAs covering products that have not yet been returned. The Company does not maintain a general warranty reserve because, historically, valid warranty returns resulting from a product not meeting specifications or being non-functional have been immaterial.

Income Taxes
The Company's deferred income tax assets represent temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amount and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities that will result in deductible amounts in future years, including net operating loss carryforwards. Based on estimates, the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets assumes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions. Our judgments regarding future profitability may change due to future market conditions, changes in U.S. or international tax laws and other factors. If, in the future, the Company experiences losses for a sustained period of time, the Company may not be able to conclude that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income to realize our deferred tax assets. If this occurs, the Company may be required to increase the valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets resulting in additional income tax expense.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based on past history of actual performance, a zero forfeiture rate has been assumed.  Restricted stock awards are granted at a value equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). Based on their evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the participation of the Company's management, have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company began processing transactions on a new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") system. In connection with the ERP system implementation, the Company is updating its internal controls over financial reporting, as necessary, to accommodate modifications to our business processes and accounting procedures. Management does not believe the ERP system implementation will have an adverse effect on our internal controls over financial reporting. There were no other changes identified in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting, or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012.
