Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements.  Information in this Item 2, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and elsewhere in this 10-Q that does not consist of historical facts, are "forward-looking statements."  Statements accompanied or qualified by, or containing, words such as "may," "will," "should," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "outlook," "forecast," "anticipates," "presume," and "assume" constitute forward-looking statements and, as such, are not a guarantee of future performance.  The statements involve factors, risks and uncertainties, the impact or occurrence of which can cause actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in such statements.  Risks and uncertainties can include, among others, uncertainty regarding how long the worldwide economic recession will continue and whether the recession will deepen; reductions in capital budgets by our customers and potential customers; changing product demand and industry capacity; increased competition and pricing pressures; advances in technology that can reduce the demand for the Company's products; and other factors, many or all of which are beyond the Company's control.  Consequently, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as predictive of future results.  The Company disclaims any obligation to release publicly any updates or revisions to the forward-looking statements herein to reflect any change in the Company's expectations with regard thereto, or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Sales under certain fixed-price contracts, requiring substantial performance over several periods prior to commencement of deliveries, are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting whereby revenues are recognized based on estimates of completion prepared on a ratio of cost to total estimated cost basis.  Costs include all material and direct and indirect charges related to specific contracts.

Adjustments to cost estimates are made periodically and any losses expected to be incurred on contracts in progress are charged to operations in the period such losses are determined.  However, any profits expected on contracts in progress are recognized over the life of the contract.

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company nets progress billings against the total costs incurred on uncompleted contracts.  The asset, "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.  The liability, "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

The Company's consolidated results of operations showed a 4% increase in net revenues and a decrease in net income of 40%.  Revenues recorded in the current period for long-term construction projects ("Project(s)") were 8% higher than the level recorded in the prior year.  Revenues recorded in the current period for other-than long-term construction projects (non-projects) were lower by 2% from the level recorded in the prior year.  The gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the current and prior year periods was 26% and 35%.  This fluctuation is attributable primarily to a.) three large export Projects in the prior year period had higher than average margins, b.) three large Projects in the prior year with aerospace / defense customers that had higher margins than average Projects for construction customers, and c.) in the current period, there were more Projects sold directly to representatives in two different Asian countries, net of their normal commission, which resulted in lower sales, gross margins and commission expense.

While the overall sales figures showed only a slight increase from the prior year, the mix of customers buying our products changed.  Sales of the Company's products are made to three general groups of customers: industrial, construction and aerospace / defense.    An unusually high percentage of sales were to customers in the aerospace and defense markets last year.  The negative effect of the slow global construction market last fiscal year was offset by an increase in our global sales to customers in the aerospace and defense markets.  A breakdown of sales to the three general groups of customers is as follows:

First Nine Months
Fiscal 2011
First Nine Months
Fiscal 2010
Industrial 8% 9%
Construction 60% 38%
Aerospace / Defense 32% 53%

At February 28, 2010, we had 124 open sales orders in our backlog with a total sales value of $13 million.  At February 28, 2011, we have 11% fewer open sales orders in our backlog (110 orders) but the total sales value is $13.6 million or approximately 5% higher than the prior year.

The Company's revenues and net income fluctuate from period to period.  The fluctuations in comparing the current period to the prior period are not necessarily representative of future results.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 17% from the prior year.  Outside commission expense decreased by 24% from last year's level.  This fluctuation was primarily due to a single, high value, non-project, commissionable sales order recorded in the prior year period, as well as three Projects in an Asian country that included higher than average commissions in the prior year period.  Additionally, of the 34 Projects in process during the nine months ended February 28, 2011, only 11 had related outside commissions recorded.  This compares with 14 of 31 Projects having related outside commissions recorded in the prior year period.  The primary reason for this is, in the current period, there were more Projects sold to representatives in two different Asian countries net of their normal commission.  Other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 16% from last year to this.  This decrease is primarily due to a.) a decrease in estimated incentive compensation expense in the current period related to the lower level of operating results and lower level of aerospace sales, and b.) a decrease in professional fees in the current period related to the research tax credit study completed last year and the workers' compensation suit discussed, below, in Part II, Item 1.

The above factors resulted in operating income of $819,000 for the nine months ended February 28, 2011, down 41% from the $1,378,000 in the same period of the prior year.

20%


Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 1% from the prior year.  Outside commission expense increased by 29% from last year's level even though there was only a 4% increase in Net Revenue.  This fluctuation was primarily due to a 71% increase in the level of sales subject to outside commission in the three month period ending February 28, 2011.  Other selling, general and administrative expenses decreased only slightly from last year to this.

The above factors resulted in operating income of $397,000 for the three months ended February 28, 2011, down 27% from the $544,000 in the same period of the prior year.

The provision for income taxes in the current period is significantly (84%) less than in the prior period even though the income before the provision for income taxes is only 23% less than in the prior period.  The primary reason for this reduction is the completion of a research and development tax credit study for the interim nine month period ended February 28, 2011 which indicates available tax credits will reduce the Company's tax expense in the current year.  The information needed to complete the study and calculate the credits was not readily available in previous interim periods so the reduction in tax expense recorded in the current period is the result of activities during the entire nine month period ended February 28, 2011.

Stock Options

The Company has a stock option plan which provides for the granting of nonqualified or incentive stock options to officers, key employees and non-employee directors.  Options granted under the plan are exercisable over a ten year term.  Options not exercised at the end of the term expire.

The Company expenses stock options using the fair value recognition provisions of the ASC.  The Company recognized $30,000 and $20,000 of compensation cost for the nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010.

The fair value of each stock option grant has been determined using the Black-Scholes model.  The model considers assumptions related to exercise price, expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected term of the stock option grants.  Expected volatility assumptions used in the model were based on volatility of the Company's stock price for the thirty month period ending on the date of grant.  The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. treasury yield.  The Company used a weighted average expected term.  The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes model in estimating the fair market value of the Company's stock option grants:

2011 2010
Risk-free interest rate:               2.75%                        4.875%
Expected life of the options:            2.5 years                    2.5 years
Expected share price volatility:              60.27%                       57.57%

Capital Resources, Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt

The Company's primary liquidity is dependent upon the working capital needs.  These are mainly inventory, accounts receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, accounts payable, accrued commissions, billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings, and debt service.  The Company's primary sources of liquidity have been operations and bank financing.

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 were $268,000 compared to $181,000 in the same period of the prior year.  As of February 28, 2011, the Company has no commitments for capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

Effective August 7, 2009, the Company replaced its bank credit facility with a $6,000,000 bank demand line of credit, with interest payable at the Company's option of 30, 60, 90 or 180 day LIBOR rate plus 2.5%, or the bank's prime rate less .25%.  There is an interest rate floor of 3.5%.  The line is secured by accounts receivable, equipment, inventory, and general intangibles, and a negative pledge of the Company's real property.  This line of credit is subject to the usual terms and conditions applied by the bank, was subject to renewal annually, and is not subject to




11




an express requirement on the bank's part to lend.  There is no balance outstanding as of February 28, 2011 or as of May 31, 2010.  The outstanding balance on the line of credit fluctuates as the Company's various long-term projects progress.  The Company is in compliance with restrictive covenants under the line of credit.  In these covenants, the Company agrees to maintain the following minimum levels of the stated item:

Covenant Minimum per Covenant Current Actual When Measured
Minimum level working capital                         $3,000,000                         $11,466,000              Quarterly
Minimum debt service coverage ratio                  1.5:1                                     n/a               Fiscal Year-end

All of the $6,000,000 unused portion of our line of credit is available without violating any of our debt covenants.  Principal maturities of long-term debt for the remainder of the current fiscal year and the subsequent years are as follows: 2011 - $2,000; 2012 - $5,000; and 2013 - $4,000.

NOTE: Inventory turnover is annualized for the nine month period ended February 28, 2011.

Inventory, at $6,720,000 as of February 28, 2011, is $246,000 or four percent higher than the prior year-end level of $6,474,000.  Approximately 78% of the current inventory is work in process, 12% is finished goods, and 10% is raw materials.

Maintenance and other inventory represent stock that is estimated to have a product life cycle in excess of twelve months. This stock represents certain items the Company is required to maintain for service of products sold and items that are generally subject to spontaneous ordering.  This inventory is particularly sensitive to technological obsolescence in the near term due to its use in industries characterized by the continuous introduction of new product lines, rapid technological advances and product obsolescence.  The maintenance inventory increased 14% since May 31, 2010.  Management of the Company has recorded an allowance for potential inventory obsolescence. The provision for potential inventory obsolescence was $135,000 for each of the nine month periods ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010.  The Company continues to rework slow-moving inventory, where applicable, to convert it to product to be used on customer orders.

The Company combines the totals of accounts receivable, the current asset CIEB, and the current liability, BIEC, to determine how much cash the Company will eventually realize from revenue recorded to date.  As the accounts




12



receivable figure rises in relation to the other two figures, the Company can anticipate increased cash receipts within the ensuing 30-60 days.

Accounts receivable of $1,993,000 as of February 28, 2011 includes approximately $162,000 of amounts retained by customers on Projects.  It also includes $42,000 of an allowance for doubtful accounts ("Allowance").   The accounts receivable balance as of May 31, 2010 of $5,033,000 included an Allowance of $42,000.  The number of an average day's sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO") decreased from 99 days at May 31, 2010 to 36 at February 28, 2011.  The DSO is a function of 1.) the level of sales for an average day (for example, total sales for the past three months divided by 90 days) and 2.) the level of accounts receivable at the balance sheet date.  The level of sales for an average day in the third quarter of the current year is only slightly higher than in the fourth quarter of the prior year.  The level of accounts receivable at the end of the current fiscal quarter is 60% lower than at the end of the prior year.  The combination of these two factors caused the DSO to decrease from last year end to this.  78% of the high level of accounts receivable at the end of last year was due from five customers and was collected subsequent to year-end.  The Company expects to collect the net accounts receivable balance, including the retainage, during the next twelve months.

As noted above, CIEB represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.  Whenever possible, the Company negotiates a provision in sales contracts to allow the Company to bill, and collect from the customer, payments in advance of shipments.  Unfortunately, provisions such as this are often not possible.  The $3,095,000 balance in this account at February 28, 2011 is 194% more than the prior year-end.  The Company expects to bill the entire amount during the next twelve months.  58% of the CIEB balance as of the end of the last fiscal quarter, November 30, 2010, was billed to those customers in the current fiscal quarter ended February 28, 2011.  The remainder will be billed as the Projects progress, in accordance with the terms specified in the various contracts.

The balances in this account are comprised of the following components:

As noted above, BIEC represents billings to customers in excess of revenues recognized.  The $200,000 balance in this account at February 28, 2011 is down from the $368,000 balance at the end of the prior year.  The balance in this account fluctuates in the same manner and for the same reasons as the account "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings", discussed above.   Final delivery of product under these contracts is expected to occur during the next twelve months.

The Company's backlog of sales orders at February 28, 2011 is $13.6 million, up from the $13 million  it was at the end of the prior year.  $5.4 million of the current backlog is on Projects already in progress.

Other Balance Sheet Items

Accounts payable, at $1,470,000 as of February 28, 2011, is 34% more than the prior year-end.  There is no specific reason for this fluctuation other than the normal payment cycle of vendor invoices.  Commission expense on applicable sales orders is recognized at the time revenue is recognized.  The commission is paid following receipt of payment from the customers.  Accrued commissions as of February 28, 2011 are $371,000, down 2% from the $380,000 accrued at the prior year-end.  The Company expects the current accrued amount to be paid during the next twelve months.  Other current liabilities decreased 25% from the prior year-end, to $1,158,000 primarily due to accrued employee compensation at the prior year-end that was paid in the current period.  Payments on these liabilities will take place as scheduled within the next twelve months.

Management believes the Company's cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity under the bank line of credit is sufficient to fund ongoing operations, capital improvements and share repurchases for the next twelve months.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Taylor Devices, Inc.


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Taylor Devices, Inc. and Subsidiary as of February 28, 2011, the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010 and cash flows for the nine months ended February 28, 2011 and February 28, 2010.  These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.  Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated August 7, 2010, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2010 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which it has been derived.
