NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Unaudited interim 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-QSB. 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 have been included in order to make the information not misleading. Information included in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2006 has been derived from, and certain terms used herein are defined in, the audited financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2006 that was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2007. 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-KSB for the year ended October 31, 2006.

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.

Purchases of connector products from two major vendors in the six month period ended April 30, 2007, represented 19% and 15% compared to 21% and 13% of the total inventory purchases for the same period in fiscal year 2006. 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. The greatest number of the assumed exercise of options to purchase 123,758 shares of the Company’s common stock, at a price of $7.50 per share in either quarter of the six months ended April 30, 2007, were not included in the computation of diluted per share amounts because they were anti-dilutive for that purpose. During the period ended April 30, 2006, all options were considered dilutive and included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

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

Note 4 - Stock Option Plan
 
Effective November 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). The Company elected to use the modified prospective transition method. This method requires compensation cost to be recognized in the financial statements over the service period for the fair value of all awards (including awards to employees) granted after the date of adoption as well as for existing awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the date of adoption and requires that prior periods not be restated. The stock incentive plans provide for the granting of qualified and nonqualified options to our officers, directors and employees. Outstanding options are generally exercisable one year after the date of the grant and expire no more than ten years after the grant. The Company satisfies the exercise of options by issuing previously unissued common shares. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for stock options granted to employees and generally made no charges against earnings with respect to those options at the date of grant since the employee options had exercise prices that were equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the grant date.

SFAS 123R requires that the Company elect an approved method to calculate the historical pool of windfall tax benefits upon adoption of SFAS 123R within one year of its adoption. As of April 30, 2007, the Company has not made that election.

For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, the adoption of SFAS 123R reduced income from operations by $129,851 and $259,702, reduced net income by approximately $117,000 and $234,000 and reduced basic earnings per share by $0.04 and $0.07, respectively and diluted earnings per share by $0.03 and $0.06, respectively.

Also, in accordance with SFAS 123R, the Company will present on a prospective basis the tax benefits from exercise of stock options in excess of recognized expense as a cash flow from financing activities in the statement of cash flows, rather than as a cash flow from operating activities, as was prescribed under accounting rules applicable through October 31, 2006. This requirement will reduce the amount reflected as net cash provided by operating activities and net cash provided by financing activities for that period. Total cash flows will remain unchanged from that which would have been reported under prior accounting rules.

No stock options were granted during the three months ended April 30, 2007. The weighted average fair value of employee stock options granted in the six months ended April 30, 2007 was estimated to be $3.64 per share using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
 
Risk-free interest rate
   
5.00
%
         
Dividend yield
   
0.00
%
         
Expected life of the option
   
5 years
 
         
Volatility factor
   
57.00
%
 

 
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock, and other factors. The Company uses historical experience with exercise and post-vesting employment termination behavior to determine the options’ expected life. 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 Company’s historical net income and earnings per common share and pro forma net income and earnings per common share assuming compensation cost had been determined for the six months ended April 30, 2006 based on the fair value instead of the intrinsic value at the grant date for all awards to the Company’s employees, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123R and amortized ratably over the vesting period, are set forth below:

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R, all other issuances of common stock, stock options, warrants or other equity instruments to employees and non-employees as the consideration for goods or services received by the Company are accounted for based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued (unless the fair value of the consideration received can be more reliably measured). Generally, the fair value of any options, warrants or similar equity instruments issued is estimated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Issuances of Common Stock by the Company
During the six months ended April 30, 2007, the Company received cash proceeds of $175,948 from the exercise of options for the purchase of 65,620 shares of common stock.

As of April 30, 2007, $471,349 of expense with respect to nonvested share-based arrangements has yet to be recognized and which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended April 30, 2007 was $350,292.
 
Note 5 - Concentration of Credit Risk

Two customers accounted for approximately 17% and 10% of the Company’s net sales for the three and six months ended April, 30, 2007. Two customers accounted for 18% and 9% of the Company’s net sales for the three and six month periods ended April, 30, 2006. Although these customers have been customers of the Company continuously during the past six years, the written agreement with these customers does not have any minimum purchase obligations and the customers could stop buying the Company’s products at any time and for any reason. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from these customers or the loss of these customers could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and profits. The Company cannot provide assurance that these customers or any of its current customers will continue to place orders, that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels, or that the Company will be able to obtain orders from new customers.

Note 6 - Geographic Information

Note 7 - Income tax provision

The income tax provision reflected in the accompanying unaudited condensed statement of income for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 is different than the expected tax provision computed based on the pre-tax income and the applicable statutory Federal income tax rate of 34% and the state income tax rate, net of Federal tax effects, of 5.83%. Interim tax provisions are determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate. As of April 30, 2007, the Company estimated that its effective annual tax rate for the year ending October 31, 2007 will be approximately 54.7%, which is above the expected statutory rate primarily as a result of permanent differences between income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and taxable income. The most significant permanent difference was related to the portion of compensation expense recognized for financial reporting purposes that was attributed to the noncash charges recorded under SFAS 123R for the fair value of qualified incentive stock options, or ISOs, granted to employees, which are generally not deductible for tax reporting purposes. The Company recognized noncash, nondeductible charges to compensation expense of approximately $97,000 and $158,100 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 related to ISOs under SFAS 123R.

 Note 8 - Subsequent Event

On June 1, 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share. The dividend date of record is June 30, 2007 and the payment date to stockholders is July 16, 2007. 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.
 
On June 1, 2007, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 100,000 shares.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Company’s significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the financial statements contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.
 

 
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 80% of the Company’s net sales during the three and six month period ended April 30, 2007, 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 April 30, 2007, the amount of cash and cash equivalents was equal to $6,653,131 in aggregate and the Company had no investments in available-for-sale securities.

 
§
As of April 30, 2007, the Company had $13,899,953 in current assets and $756,969 in current liabilities.

 
§
As of April 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding indebtedness (other than accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses).

The Company does not believe it will need 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 $211,307 for the six months ended April 30, 2007. The Company realized positive cash flows of $51,342 from its operating activities for the same period.

Trade accounts receivable (net of allowances for doubtful accounts) at April 30, 2007 decreased approximately 24%, or by $484,007 to $1,569,395 compared to the October 31, 2006 balance of $2,053,402. The decrease in accounts receivable is due to both decrease in net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2007 compared with the same period in the prior year and to improved receivables management and collection efforts by the Company.

Inventories at April 30, 2007 decreased 2%, or $90,826 to $5,159,658 compared to $5,250,484 on October 31, 2006. The Company has been adjusting its inventory purchases during the last fiscal quarter to reflect the decrease in sales.

Other current assets, including prepaid expenses and deposits, increased $10,069 to $218,225 as of April 30, 2007, from $208,156 on October 31, 2006.

Accounts payable at April 30, 2007 decreased $96,003 to $345,200 from $441,203 on October 31, 2006. The change in accounts payable is merely the result of the timing of invoices received and payments made.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $2,165,202 for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and was attributed to the sale of available-for-sale securities.
 

 
Net cash used in financing activities was $176,348 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, and was attributable to $175,948 of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, $399,931 used to purchase 68,663 shares of treasury stock, and $66,365 used to pay a $0.02 per share cash dividend.

As of April 30, 2007, the Company had a total of $6,653,131 of cash and cash equivalents compared to a total of $4,612,935 of cash and cash equivalents on October 31, 2006. However, the amount of investments in available-for-sale securities decreased by $2,252,589 as the Company’s available-for-sale securities matured. Collectively, the amount of cash that the Company held on April 30, 2007 increased by $2,040,196 from the amount held on October 31, 2006 due primarily to the reason given above. The Company had working capital of $13,142,984 and a current ratio of approximately 18:1.
 
On May 31, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.02 per share. The dividend date of record is June 30, 2007 and the payment date to stockholders is July 16, 2007. 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.

Results Of Operations

Three Months Ended April 30, 2007 vs. Three Months Ended April 30, 2006

Net sales in the current fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007, decreased 10%, or $386,329 to $3,382,991 from $3,769,320 in the comparable fiscal quarter in the prior year, due to decreased sales of the Company’s connectors. The decrease in sales for connectors was partially offset by an increase in sales of cable assembly and Bioconnect products. The decrease in sales reflects a general decrease in demand for wireless connector and cable products due primarily to a lack of infrastructure capital investment by wireless providers during this period. The Company believes this decrease is temporary due to the recent consolidation of wireless providers.

Historically, foreign sales represent approximately 11% of net sales and accounted for approximately 17% of net sales during the three month period ended April 30, 2007. Foreign sales for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 increased by $213,546 to $580,772 as compared to the fiscal quarter in the prior year. Approximately 7% of the Company’s net sales are primarily due to cable assembly sales to one major international customer.

The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of sales declined from 48% to 45% during the current fiscal quarter compared to the same fiscal quarter last year. The decline in gross margins during the current quarter resulted from the increase in sales of lower margin cable assembly products compared to sales of higher margin connector products. The revenue mix of connectors to cable assembly products was different in this three month period compared to the current three month period last year. The Company’s labor costs also increased during the 2007 fiscal quarter compared to the comparable quarter last year due to changes in the accounting for stock options. As a result of the new method of accounting, the Company incurred a $49,038 cost of sales expense related to employee stock options. No such expense was recognized last year. Overall, the Company’s four smaller divisions have significantly lower gross margins than the RF Connector and Cable Assembly division. Since the connector and cable assembly products net sales decreased as a percentage of the Company’s total sales (overall connector and cable sales represented 80% of net sales in the current three month period, compared to 81% in the comparable period of the prior year), the increase in sales of lower margin divisions reduced the combined gross margins in the current period.
 

 
Engineering expenses decreased 11%, or $14,866, to $115,951 from $130,817 in the comparable quarter of the prior year due to a decrease in development costs for new product enhancements. Engineering expenses fluctuate based on design engineering expenses incurred by the Company at the request of its customers.

Selling and general expenses increased 12% or $128,202 to $1,157,946 from $1,029,744 in the comparable quarter of the prior year. Selling and general expenses were higher in the second quarter of the current fiscal year due primarily to the company incurring an $80,813 expense related to expensing employee stock options. Under the new accounting for stock based compensation regulations, the Company is required to expense the value of equity securities (stock options) previously granted over the periods in which the related services are rendered. Accordingly, since the new accounting regulations went into effect on November 1, 2006, stock option expense was recognized during the second quarter ended April 30, 2007, but no such expense was recognized for the same fiscal period last year. Additionally, employee benefits costs increased for all divisions from the comparable period in 2006. Due to the combination of a decrease in net sales and increased selling and general expenses, the selling and general expenses for the current period as a percentage of sales were 34% compared with 27% in the prior year.

Other income for the second quarter of 2007 increased $55,861 over the same period in the prior year due to higher investment interest income.

As a result of the decrease in revenues, the decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales, and the increase in selling and general expenses, income before provision for income taxes during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 decreased by $327,877 to $336,475.

The provision for income taxes during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 was $158,100 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 47%), compared to $269,800 in the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2006 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 41%). The significant increase in the combined statutory Federal and state tax rate in the 2007 fiscal quarter is the result of the difference between income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and income for tax reporting purposes. Compensation expense attributed to the noncash charges recorded under SFAS 123R for the fair value of qualified incentive stock options granted to employees are recognized for financial reporting purposes but are generally not deductible for tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, income tax was determined based on the income the Company would have realized had it excluded all of the noncash securities compensation expenses.

The combination of an overall decrease in sales compared to last year, a decrease in gross margins due to a decrease in sales of higher gross margin products, and increased labor costs (both actual payments and the accounting effect of stock option expenses) and other selling and general expenses, caused the Company’s operating income to decreased to $247,543 for the second fiscal quarter of 2007 from $631,281 in the prior year’s fiscal quarter. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by higher interest income and lower income taxes. Accordingly, net income for the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 was $178,375 compared to $394,552 for the same period last year.
 

 
Six Months Ended April 30, 2007 vs. Six Months Ended April 30, 2006
 
Net sales in the six months ended April 30, 2007 decreased 9%, or $609,113, to $6,535,119 from $7,144,232 in the comparable period in the prior year due to decreased in sales of the Company’s connector, cable assembly, Bioconnect and wireless products. The decrease in sales reflects a general decrease in sales of wireless connectors and cable products as well as decreased sales of Bioconnect products. The Company’s gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 43% from 47% during the first six months of fiscal 2007 compared to the same period in fiscal 2006.

Engineering expenses for the first six months of fiscal 2007 decreased 17%, or $47,230, to $232,933 from $280,163 in the comparable period of the prior year due to lower overall development costs for less new product enhancements.

Selling and general expenses increased 11%, or $231,331, to $2,281,477 from $2,050,146 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The primary reasons for the increase is due to an additional $161,625 stock option compensation, approximately $20,000 increase in travel related expenses and $40,000 increase in accounting fees compared to the six months ended April 30, 2006.

The provision for income taxes during the six months ended April 30, 2007 was $255,100 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 55%), compared to $468,300 in the six months ended April 30, 2006 (or a combined estimated Federal and state income tax rate of approximately 42%). The significant increase in the combined statutory Federal and state tax rate for the six months ended April 30, 2007 is the result of the difference between income before taxes for financial reporting purposes and income for tax reporting purposes. Compensation expense attributed to the noncash charges recorded under SFAS 123R for the fair value of qualified incentive stock options granted to employees are recognized for financial reporting purposes but are generally not deductible for tax reporting purposes. Accordingly, income tax was determined based on the income the Company would have realized had it excluded all of the noncash securities compensation expenses.
 

Other income for the first six months of fiscal 2007 increased $91,587 over the same period in the prior year due to more cash available for investments and a higher rate of return on those investments.

Risk Factors

Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. The risks and uncertainties described below and in the Annual Report are not the only ones facing the Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Dependence On RF Connector and Cable Assembly Products

Of the Company’s five operating divisions, the three divisions that market RF connectors and cables account for approximately 78% of the Company’s net sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, and approximately 80% of net sales during the three month period ended April 30, 2007, respectively. The Company expects that sales of RF connector and cable products will continue to account for the majority of the Company’s revenues for the near future. Accordingly, an adverse change in the operations of the three RF connector and cable divisions could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Factors that could adversely affect the RF Connector and Cable Assembly division, the largest of these three divisions, are described below.

The Company Depends On Third-Party Contract Manufacturers For Substantially All Of Its Connector Manufacturing Needs.

Substantially all of the Company’s RF Connector and Cable Assembly products are manufactured by third-party contract manufacturers. The Company relies on them to procure components for RF Connector and Cable Assembly and in certain cases to design, assemble and test its products on a timely and cost-efficient basis. If the Company’s contract manufacturers are unable to complete design work on a timely basis, the Company will experience delays in product development and its ability to compete may be harmed. In addition, because some of the Company’s manufacturers have manufacturing facilities in Taiwan and Korea, their ability to provide the Company with adequate supplies of high-quality products on a timely and cost-efficient basis is subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including earthquakes and other natural disasters and political, social and economic instability. If the Company’s manufacturers are unable to provide adequate supplies of high-quality products on a timely and cost-efficient basis, the Company’s operations would be disrupted and its net sales and profitability would suffer. Moreover, if the Company’s third-party contract manufacturers cannot consistently produce high-quality products that are free of defects, the Company may experience a higher rate of product returns, which would also reduce its profitability and may harm the Company’s reputation and brand.
 

 
The Company does not currently have any agreements with any of its contract manufacturers, and such manufacturers could stop manufacturing products for the Company at any time. Although the Company believes that it could locate alternate contract manufacturers if any of its manufacturers terminated their business, the Company’s operations could be impacted until alternate manufacturers are found.

The Company’s Dependence On Third-Party Manufacturers Increases The Risk That It Will Not Have An Adequate Supply Of Products Or That Its Product Costs Will Be Higher Than Expected.

The risks associated with the Company’s dependence upon third parties that develop, manufacture and assemble the Company’s products include:

§ reduced control over delivery schedules and quality;

§ risks of inadequate manufacturing yields and excessive costs;

§ the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand; and

§ potential increases in prices.

These risks may lead to increased costs or delay product delivery, which would harm the Company’s profitability and customer relationships.

Dependence Upon Independent Distributors To Sell And Market The Company’s Products

The Company’s sales efforts are primarily conducted through independent distributors. Sales through independent distributors accounted for approximately 65% of the net sales of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, and approximately 49% for the three month period ended April 30, 2007. Although the Company has entered into written agreements with most of the distributors, the agreements are nonexclusive and generally may be terminated by either party upon 30-60 days written notice. The Company’s distributors are not within the control of the Company, are not obligated to purchase products from the Company, and may also sell other lines of products. There can be no assurance that these distributors will continue their current relationships with the Company or that they will not give higher priority to the sale of other products, which could include products of competitors. A reduction in sales efforts or discontinuance of sales of the Company’s products by its distributors would lead to reduced sales and could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and business. Selling through indirect channels such as distributors may limit the Company’s contact with its ultimate customers and the Company’s ability to assure customer satisfaction.

Dependence On Principal Customers

One customer accounted for approximately 16% of the net sales of the Company’s RF Connector and Cable Assembly division for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 and two customers accounted for 17% and 10% of net sales for the three month period ended April 30, 2007. Although this customer has been an on-going major customer of the Company during the past five years, the Company does have a written distributor agreement with this customer. However, this customer does not have any minimum purchase obligations and could stop buying the Company’s products at any time. Accordingly, the Company’s largest customer could stop buying the Company’s products at any time. 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. The Company cannot provide assurance that this customer or any of its current customers will continue to place orders, that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels or that the Company will be able to obtain orders from new customers.
 

 
Certain Of The Company’s Markets Are Subject to Rapid Technological Change, So The Company’s Success In These Markets Depends On Its Ability To Develop And Introduce New Products.

Although most of the Company’s products have a stable market and are only gradually phased out, certain of the new and emerging markets, such as the wireless digital transmission markets, are characterized by:

§ rapidly changing technologies;

§ evolving and competing industry standards;

§ short product life cycles;

§ changing customer needs;

§ emerging competition;

§ frequent new product introductions and enhancements; and

§ rapid product obsolescence.

To develop new products for the connector and wireless digital transmission markets, the Company must develop, gain access to and use new technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner. In addition, the Company must maintain close working relationships with key customers in order to develop new products that meet customers’ changing needs. The Company also must respond to changing industry standards and technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis.

Products for connector applications are based on industry standards that are continually evolving. The Company’s ability to compete in the future will depend on its ability to identify and ensure compliance with these evolving industry standards. If the Company is not successful in developing or using new technologies or in developing new products or product enhancements, its future revenues may be materially affected. The Company’s attempt to keep up with technological advances may require substantial time and expense.

The Markets In Which The Company Competes Are Highly Competitive.

The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive and the Company expects that competition will increase in these markets. In particular, the connector and communications markets in which the Company’s products are sold are intensely competitive. Because the Company does not own any proprietary property that can be used to distinguish the Company from its competitors, the Company’s ability to compete successfully in these markets depends on a number of factors, including:

§ success in subcontracting the design and manufacture of existing and new products that implement new technologies;

§ product quality;

§ reliability;

§ customer support;

§ time-to-market;

§ price;
 

 
§ market acceptance of competitors’ products; and

§ general economic conditions.

In addition, the Company’s competitors or customers may offer enhancements to its existing products or offer new products based on new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements that have the potential to replace or provide lower-cost or higher performance alternatives to the Company’s products. The introduction of enhancements or new products by the Company’s competitors could render its existing and future products obsolete or unmarketable.

Many of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources. In certain circumstances, the Company’s customers or potential customers have internal manufacturing capabilities with which the Company may compete.

If The Industries Into Which The Company Sells Its Products Experience Recession Or Other Cyclical Effects Impacting The Budgets Of Its Customers, The Company’s Operating Results Could Be Negatively Impacted.

The primary customers for the Company’s coaxial connectors are in the connector and communications industries. Any significant downturn in the Company’s customers’ markets, in particular, or in general economic conditions that result in the cut back of budgets would likely result in a reduction in demand for the Company’s products and services and could harm the Company’s business. Historically, the communications industry has been cyclical, affected by both economic conditions and industry-specific cycles. Depressed general economic conditions and cyclical downturns in the communications industry have each had an adverse effect on sales of communications equipment, OEMs and their suppliers, including the Company. No assurance can be given that the connector industry will not experience a material downturn in the near future. Any cyclical downturn in the connector and/or communications industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company May Make Future Acquisitions That Will Involve Numerous Risks.

Since August 2004, the Company has purchased the operations of two smaller businesses (Aviel Electronics in Las Vegas, Nevada, August 2004, and Worswick Industries, Inc. in San Diego, California, September 2005). The Company periodically may make acquisitions of other companies that could expand the Company’s product line or customer base. The risks involved with both the recent acquisitions and with any possible future acquisitions include:

§ diversion of management’s attention;

§ the affect on the Company’s financial statements of the amortization of acquired intangible assets;

§ the cost associated with acquisitions and the integration of acquired operations; and

§ the assumption of unknown liabilities, or other unanticipated events or circumstances.

Any of these risks could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that any business that the Company acquires will achieve anticipated revenues or operating results.

International Sales And Operations

Sales to customers located outside the United States, either directly or through U.S. and foreign distributors, accounted for approximately 17% of net sales during the three months ended April 30, 2007, and approximately 10% for the comparable period in 2006. The $213,546 increase in foreign sales for the three months ended April 30, 2007 was due to increased cooperative advertising, primarily in Mexico and cable assembly in Israel. International revenues are subject to a number of risks, including:

§ longer accounts receivable payment cycles;
 


 
§ difficulty in enforcing agreements and in collecting accounts receivable;

§ tariffs and other restrictions on foreign trade;

§ economic and political instability; and

§ the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

The Company’s foreign sales are also affected by general economic conditions in its international markets. A prolonged economic downturn in its foreign markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. There can be no assurance that the factors described above will not have an adverse material effect on the Company’s future international revenues and, consequently, on the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company.

Since sales made to foreign customers or foreign distributors have historically been in U.S. dollars, the Company has not been exposed to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations. However, if the Company in the future is required to accept sales denominated in the currencies of the countries where sales are made, the Company thereafter may also be exposed to currency fluctuation risks.

Changes in Stock Option Accounting Rules Will Adversely Affect The Company’s Reported Operating Results, And Therefore May Adversely Affect The Company’s Stock Price And The Company’s Ability To Attract And Retain Employees

Since November 1, 2006, the Company is now subject to the new rules of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, SFAS No. 123 (R), "Share-Based Payment," which rules require it to record all stock-based employee compensation as an expense. The new rules apply to stock options grants, as well as a wide range of other share-based compensation arrangements. Historically, the Company has compensated almost all of its full-time employees, and all of its officers and directors, with such share- based compensation awards in the past in order to limit its cash expenditures and to attract and retain its employees, officers and directors. Accordingly, if the Company continues to grant stock options or other share-based compensation awards to its officers, directors, employees, and consultants, its future earnings, if any, will be reduced (or the Company’s future losses will be increased) by the expenses recorded for those grants. Since the Company is a small company, the expenses it may have to record as a result of future options grants may be significant and may materially negatively affect its reported financial results. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, the Company will in the future have to recognize expenses for options previously granted prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), thereby reducing its future net income even if no new options are granted. The adverse effects that the new accounting rules may have on the Company’s future financial statements may reduce the Company’s stock price and make it more difficult for it to attract new investors.

The Company Has No Exclusive Intellectual Property Rights In The Technology Employed In Its Products, Which May Limit the Company’s Ability To Compete.

The Company does not hold any United States or foreign patents and does not have any patents pending. In addition, the Company does not have any other exclusive intellectual property rights in the technology employed in its products. The Company does not actively seek to protect its rights in the technology that it develops or that the Company’s third-party contract manufacturers develop. In addition, these parties share the technologies with other parties, including some of the Company’s competitors. Accordingly, competitors can and do sell the same products as the Company, and the Company cannot prevent or restrict such competition.

Volatility of Stock Trading Prices

In the past several years the market price of the Company’s common stock has fluctuated greatly, and the volume of the Company’s common stock traded has fluctuated greatly as well. These fluctuations often occur independently of the Company’s performance or any announcements by the Company. Factors that may result in such fluctuations include:
 

 
 
§

Item 3. 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. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
 
As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, for the reasons set forth below, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of April 30, 2007.

Effective November 1, 2006, the Company was required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method to account for stock options granted to employees. In connection with the preparation of the quarterly financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending April 30, 2007, the Company determined that there was a weakness in the implementation of SFAS 123R and the determination of the related quarterly tax effect. The Company has taken certain actions to improve the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, including the following:

 
·
In order to remedy the material weakness in implementing SFAS 123R, the Company has purchased, and is implementing, a new computer software program specifically designed to account for its stock options. In addition, the Company has retained additional consultants to provide future assistance in addressing the implementation of SFAS 123R.
 

 
 
·
In order to remedy the material weakness related to the Company’s quarterly tax provision, the Company retained the services of a CPA firm to provide assistance in preparing and evaluating the Company’s tax provision calculation.

Except for the matter discussed above, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
