RF INDUSTRIES, LTD.
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Unaudited interim condensed financial statements
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are normal and recurring have been included in order to make the information not misleading. Information included in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2010, has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2010 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the year ended October 31, 2010 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Operating results for the three month period ended January 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010.
Revenue Recognition
Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales after purchase orders are received which contain a fixed price and the products are shipped. Most of the Company’s products are sold to continuing customers with established credit histories.

Note 2 - Components of inventory
Inventories, consisting of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined using the weighted average cost method.

Totals
$ 5,035,381 $ 4,607,843

Purchases of connector products from three major vendors in the three month period ended January 31, 2011 represented 33%, 13%, and 11% of total inventory purchases, compared to four major vendors who represented 23%, 17%, 12% and 12% of total inventory purchases for the same period in 2010. The Company has arrangements with these vendors to purchase product based on purchase orders periodically issued by the Company.

Note 3 - Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased by the effects of assuming that other potentially dilutive securities (such as stock options) outstanding during the period had been exercised and the treasury stock method had been applied. At January 31, 2011, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 298,328 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price range of $6.80 to $7.56 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose. At January 31, 2010, the effects of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 471,101 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $4.49 to $7.56 per share, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose.

The following table summarizes the computation of basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

Note 4 - Stock-based compensation and equity transactions

The stock incentive plans provide for the granting of qualified and nonqualified options to the Company’s officers, directors and employees.  Non-qualified stock options granted during the quarter ended January 31, 2011 vest and are exercisable immediately and expire in five years from date of grant. During the three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company granted a total of 14,000 non-qualified stock options to its directors. The Company satisfies the exercise of options by issuing previously unissued common shares.
The weighted average fair value of employee stock options granted by the Company in the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 was estimated to be $1.99 and $1.63 per share, respectively, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

2011
2010
Risk-free interest rate
1.03 % 1.41 %
Dividend yield
1.91 % 0.00 %
Expected life of the option
2.5 years
2.5 years
Volatility factor
55.78 % 57.67 %
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company used the simplified method to calculate the expected life of the 2011 option grants. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity date corresponding to the options’ expected life. The dividend yield is based upon the historical dividend yield.
Issuances of common stock by the Company
During the three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company issued 42,877 shares of our common stock and received net proceeds of $177,399 in connection with the exercise of employee stock options.

Company Stock Option Plans
Descriptions of the Company’s stock option plans are included in Note 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010. A summary of the status of the options granted under the Company’s stock option plans as of January 31, 2011 and the changes in options outstanding during the three months then ended is presented in the table that follows:

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding as of January 31, 2011: 4.06 years

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options exercisable as of January 31, 2011: 3.78 years

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options vested and expected to vest as of January 31, 2011: 4.02 years

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at January 31, 2011: $3,972,790

Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at January 31, 2011: $3,139,676

Aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest at January 31, 2011: $3,928,973

As of January 31, 2011, $449,460 of expense with respect to nonvested share-based arrangements has yet to be recognized which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.53 years.

Stock Option Expense

During the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation expense totaled $92,609 and $72,055, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, stock-based compensation classified in cost of sales amounted to $14,680 and $8,826 and stock-based compensation classified in selling and general expense amounted to $77,929 and $63,229, respectively.
Note 5 - Concentration of Credit Risk

One customer accounted for approximately 17% and 19% of the Company’s net sales for the three month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, this customer’s account receivable balance accounted for approximately 12% and 22%, respectively, of the Company’s total net accounts receivable balances.  Although this customer has been an on-going major customer of the Company continuously during the past twelve years, respectively, the written agreements with this customer do not have any minimum purchase obligations and the customer could stop buying the Company’s products at any time and for any reason. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.
Note 6 - Segment Information
The Company aggregates operating divisions into operating segments which have similar economic characteristics and divisions are similar in the majority of the following areas: (1) the nature of the product and services; (2) the nature of the production process; (3) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (4) the methods used to distribute their products or services; (5) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has three segments - RF Connector and Cable Assembly, Medical Cabling and Interconnector, and RF Wireless based upon this evaluation.
The RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment is comprised of three divisions, the Medical Cabling and Interconnector is comprised of one division while the RF Wireless segment is comprised of two.  The three divisions that meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting are Connector / Cable Assembly, Bioconnect and RF Neulink.  Each of the other divisions aggregated into these segments have similar products that are marketed to their respective customer base; production and product development processes are similar in nature. The specific customers are different for each division; however, there is some overlapping of product sales to them. The methods used to distribute products are similar within each division aggregated.
Management identifies the Company’s segments based on strategic business units that are, in turn, based along market lines. These strategic business units offer products and services to different markets in accordance with their customer base and product usage. For segment reporting purposes, the Company aggregates Connector and Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics, and Worswick divisions into the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment while RF Neulink and RadioMobile are part of the RF Wireless segment. The Bioconnect division makes up the Company’s Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment.
As reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on income or loss before income taxes. The Company charges depreciation and amortization directly to each division within the segment. All stock based compensation is attributed to the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment. Inventory and fixed assets are the only assets identified by segment. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
8
Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in the United States; however, the Company derives a portion of its revenue from export sales. The Company attributes sales to geographic areas based on the location of the customers. The following table presents the sales of the Company by geographic area for the three month periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010:

Note 7 - Income tax provision
The income tax provision reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of income for the three months ended January 31, 2011 is different than the expected tax provision computed based on the pre-tax income and the applicable statutory Federal income tax rate of 34.0% and the state income tax rate, net of Federal tax effects, of 6%. Interim tax provisions are determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate. As of January 31, 2011, the Company estimated that its effective annual tax rate for the year ending October 31, 2011 will be approximately 41%.

The provision for income taxes during the first quarter of 2011 was $187,431 (or an effective tax rate of approximately 35%), compared to $101,189 in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010 (or an effective tax rate of approximately 41%). The significant decrease in the tax rate in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of a net onetime tax benefit of approximately $34,000 that related to a Federal research and development tax credits the Company was not able to recognize in its financial statements in 2010 due to the law not being enacted by October 31, 2010. On December 16, 2010, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Relief Act (the “Act”) which impacted the Company’s tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Due to the passage of the Act into law, the Company claimed an increased net tax credit related to the year ended October 31, 2010 for research and development related to the year ended October 31, 2010 of approximately $34,000. The credit was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.
Without this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2011 would have been higher and comparable to the 2010 rate.

Note 10 - Cash Dividend and declared dividends
The Company paid dividends of $0.03 per share for a total of $84,809 during the three month period ended January 31, 2011. No dividends were paid during the three month period ended January 31, 2010.
On January 6, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per pre-split share or $0.02 per post-split share.  The dividend record date is March 31, 2011 and the payment date to stockholders will be April 15, 2011. Estimated declared dividends of approximately $120,000 were recorded in accrued expenses as of January 31, 2011. Based on the Company’s current financial condition and its current operations, the foregoing dividend payment is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s liquidity or capital resources.
Note 11 - Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock
In 1987, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized, and 29,999,998 shares of common stock outstanding. On April 17, 1987, the Company filed a Certificate of Secretary with the Nevada Secretary of State's office pursuant to which the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (that reduced the number of outstanding shares to 3,000,000). The Certificate of Secretary did not, however, specifically address, or reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.
Based on its belief that the April 17, 1987 filing with the Nevada Secretary of State also reduced the number of authorized shares, the Company has since 1987 reported in its financial statements that the number of authorized shares of common stock consisted of 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock. On February 23, 2011, the Nevada Secretary of State's office notified the Company that based on the April 17, 1987 filing, the authorized number of common shares of the Company currently consist of 100,000,000 shares.

Note 12 - Subsequent Event - Stock Split
On February 11, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a 2-for-1 split on the Company’s Common Stock. The stock split will be effected on March 10, 2011. Common shares outstanding, giving retroactive effect to the stock split at January 31, 2011 and 2010, would have been 5,947,518 and 5,861,764, respectively.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “except,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither the Company, nor any other person, assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. The Company is under no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in its expectations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the related notes and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company which attempt to advise interested parties of the factors which affect the Company’s business, including without limitation the disclosures made under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the caption “Risk Factors,” and the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2010 and other reports and filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical Accounting Policies
The condensed financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). One of the accounting policies that involves significant judgments and estimates concerns our inventory valuation. Inventories are valued at the weighted average cost value. Certain items in the inventory may be considered obsolete or excess and, as such, we establish an allowance to reduce the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. Based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at the time, we determine the amounts of these allowances. Because inventories have, during the past few years, represented one-fourth of our total assets, any reduction in the value of our inventories would require us to take write-offs that would affect our net worth and future earnings.

Another accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is our accounts receivable allowance valuation. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the stock option grants which involves significant judgments and estimates.
Executive Overview
The Company markets connectors and cables to numerous industries for use in thousands of products, primarily for the wireless marketplace. In addition, to a limited extent, the Company also markets wireless products that incorporate connectors and cables. Since sales of RF connectors and cable assemblies represented 82% of the Company’s net sales during the three month period ended January 31, 2011, the Company’s results of operations and liquidity are principally dependent upon the results of its RF connector and cable operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management believes that existing current assets and the amount of cash it anticipates it will generate from current operations will be sufficient to fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for at least twelve months. The Company does not, however, currently have any commercial banking arrangements providing for loans, credit facilities or similar matters should the Company need to obtain additional capital. Management’s beliefs that its existing assets and the cash expected to be generated from operations will be sufficient during the current fiscal year are based on the following:

·
As of January 31, 2011, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was equal to $4,607,000 in the aggregate and the Company had $5,624,000 of investments in certificates of deposit.

·
As of January 31, 2011, the Company had $17,170,000 in current assets and $1,549,000 in current liabilities.
11
·
As of January 31, 2011, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness (other than accounts payable, accrued expenses and income taxes payable).

The Company does not anticipate needing material additional capital equipment in the next twelve months.  In the past, the Company has financed some of its equipment and furnishings requirements through capital leases. No additional capital equipment purchases have been currently identified that would require significant additional leasing or capital expenditures during the next twelve months. Management also believes that based on the Company’s current financial condition, the absence of outstanding bank debt and recent operating results, the Company would be able to obtain bank loans to finance its expansion, if necessary, although there can be no assurance any bank loan would be obtainable or, if obtained, would be on favorable terms or conditions.
The Company recognized net income of $351,493 for the three months ended January 31, 2011. However, the Company had negative net cash from operations of $119,991 primarily because it used its cash to increase its inventory purchases and reduced its outstanding expense payables.  During the first fiscal quarter, the Company used $427,538 for the purchase of inventory, $97,424 for income taxes paid, $161,546 to pay accounts payable, $165,085 to pay accrued expenses, and $81,939 for prepaid expenses and deposits. These outlays were partially offset by increased collections of accounts receivable of $344,539, which resulted in cash used in operating activities of $119,991 during the three months ended January 31, 2011. The Company increased its inventory purchases because of increased sales and because it received volume discounts from some of its vendors.  The benefits of inventories purchased at a discount are expected to be realized in future quarters as the inventories are sold.
The Company received proceeds of $1,649,000 from the maturity of certain of its certificates of deposit, and re-invested $1,748,646 in new certificates of deposit during the three months ended January 31, 2011.  The Company spent $20,843 on capital expenditures during the three months ended January 31, 2011. Financing activities increased the Company’s net cash provided by $119,075 due primarily to the receipt of $177,399 from the exercise of stock options. The increase in funds provided by financing activities was partially offset by dividends paid of $84,809.

As a result of the $119,991 of net cash used in operating activities, the Company’s overall cash position decreased by $121,405 during the three months ended January 31, 2011.
Trade accounts receivable (net of allowances for doubtful accounts) at January 31, 2011 decreased approximately 14%, or by $351,199, to $2,206,623 compared to the October 31, 2010 balance of 2,557,822 despite the 25% increase in net sales during the 2011 fiscal quarter. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to improved receivables management and collection efforts by the Company.
Inventories at January 31, 2011 increased 9%, or $427,538 to $5,035,381 compared to $4,607,843 at October 31, 2010. The increase in inventories is due to increased purchases during the three months ended January 31, 2011.  In order to obtain better quantity discounts from our vendors, the Company increased its purchase of certain inventories during the three months ended January 31, 2011.  In addition, inventory purchases were also increased to reflect changes in actual and anticipated sales.
Other current assets, including prepaid expenses and deposits, increased $81,939 to $530,126 as of January 31, 2011, from $448,187 on October 31, 2010 mainly as a result of the renewal of certain insurance contracts as well as the addition of prepaid inventory purchases and taxes.
Accounts payable at January 31, 2011 decreased $161,546 to $376,304 from $537,850 on October 31, 2010. The Company accelerated the payment of certain accounts payable in order to receive better terms.
As of January 31, 2011, the Company had a total of $4,607,479 of cash and cash equivalents compared to a total of $4,728,884 of cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2010. In addition, the amount of short term investments in certificates of deposits decreased by $400,772 to $4,176,798 from $4,577,570 on October 31, 2010 as the Company increased the amount of its long-term investments in certificates of deposits by $500,419 compared to the prior period to $1,446,910. At the end of the January 31, 2011 fiscal quarter, the Company had working capital of $15,620,531 and a current ratio of approximately 11:1.

Results Of Operations
Three Months Ended January 31, 2011 vs. Three Months Ended January 31, 2010
Net sales in the current fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011 (the “fiscal 2011 quarter”), increased by 25%, or $827,000 to $4,140,000 from $3,313,000 in the comparable fiscal quarter of prior year (the “fiscal 2010 quarter”), due to increased sales at all three of the Company’s segments. Medical Cabling and Interconnect product sales advanced 70% to a first quarter record of $608,000.  Sales increased in the fiscal 2011 quarter due to improvements in world-wide economic conditions and in the wireless infrastructure industry in particular, which caused some of the Company’s distributors to carry higher inventory levels and in turn resulted in higher sales by the Company to these distributors in the fiscal 2011 quarter.
12

Domestic sales and foreign sales increased at approximately the same rate.  Domestically, the Company’s net sales increased by $697,000 to $3,525,000 compared to $2,828,000 in the prior comparable quarter.  Foreign sales increased by $131,000 in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011 to $615,000 compared to $485,000 during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010.  Foreign sales represented approximately 15% of the Company’s net sales during both the January 31, 2011 and January 31, 2010 fiscal quarters.  The increase in foreign sales is primarily due to a significant increase in cable assembly sales to a major international customer in Canada.
The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of sales increased 3% to 52% during the fiscal 2011 quarter compared to 49% in the comparable fiscal quarter of prior year.  The Company operates in three segments.  The gross profit margin of the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment increased by 4%, while the gross profit margin of the Medical Cabling & Interconnector segment increased by 5%. The gross profit margin of the RF Wireless segment increased significantly during the fiscal 2011 quarter compared to a negative gross margin in the fiscal 2010 quarter. The substantial gross margin increase in the RF Wireless segment was due primarily to an increase in the sales of wireless radio modems. The gross profit margin of the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment increased by 5% to 37% compared to 32% in the prior comparable quarter primarily as a result of the increase in overall sales, which reduced the Company’s unit costs. Also, operating income for the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment jumped to $134,000 in the fiscal 2011 quarter from $48,000 in the fiscal 2010 quarter due to increased sales coupled with increased efficiencies associated with a higher utilization rate for the new manufacturing equipment this segment has acquired in recent years. Bioconnect continues to receive increasing order levels from existing and new customers. During the fiscal 2011 quarter, the Company’s fixed component cost of labor as a percentage of net sales was lower than in the fiscal 2010 quarter, resulting in an increase in gross margins in both the RF Connector and Cable Assembly and Medical Cabling and Interconnector segments.  Sales of the RF Connector and Cable assembly segment accounted for approximately 82% of the Company’s total sales and 76% of the total cost of sales in the current three month period, compared to 88% of the Company’s total sales and 82% of the total cost of sales in the comparable quarter of prior year.
Engineering expenses increased 53%, or $102,294, in the fiscal 2011 quarter to $296,016 from $193,722 in the fiscal 2010 quarter due to new product development at the RF Wireless segment.
Selling and general expenses increased 10%, or $127,781, in the fiscal 2011 quarter to $1,345,514 from $1,217,733 in the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The increase in selling and general expenses was due in part to an increase in sales, as well as non-cash stock option expenses incurred during the quarter ended January 31, 2011.  However, the Company also incurred significant accounting, legal and other professional fees in the fiscal 2011 quarter as a result of its on-going evaluation of merger and acquisition opportunities.
Other income, consisting primarily of interest income, decreased by $15,587 in fiscal 2011 to $10,486 compared to $26,073 in the comparable quarter of the prior year due to a continued decrease in interest rates on the Company’s investments in certificates of deposit.
As a result of the increase in net sales for the fiscal 2011 quarter and an increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales, the Company generated income before the provision for income taxes during the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011 of $538,924.  Income before provision for income taxes for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010 was $244,558.
The provision for income taxes during the fiscal 2011 quarter was $187,431 (or an effective tax rate of approximately 35%), compared to $101,189 in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2010 (or an effective tax rate of approximately 41%). The significant decrease in the tax rate in the first fiscal quarter of 2011 is primarily due to the Company’s recognition of a onetime net tax benefit of approximately $34,000 that related to a Federal research and development tax credits the Company was not able to recognize in its financial statements in 2010 due to the law not being enacted by October 31, 2010.  On December 16, 2010, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Relief Act, which impacted the Company’s tax provision in the fiscal 2011 quarter. Due to the enactment of the 2010 Tax Relief Act into law, the Company claimed an increased net tax credit related to the year ended October 31, 2010 for research and development related to the year ended October 31, 2010 of approximately $34,000. The credit was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Without this adjustment, the effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2011 would have been higher and comparable to the 2010 rate.
With the significant increase of $827,000 in net sales in the fiscal 2011 quarter and the increase in gross margins in all three of the Company’s segments, gross profit increased by $540,000 from the fiscal 2010 quarter.  Although engineering expenses increased by $102,000 and selling and general expenses increased by $128,000 from the prior comparable period, the Company’s operating income for the three months ended January 31, 2011 increased by $310,000 to $528,000.  Operating income was $218,000 in the fiscal 2010 quarter.  Accordingly, net income for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011 was $351,493 compared to $143,369 in the prior comparable period.

Not applicable
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to this Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
