Radyne Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Information for September 30, 2007 and 2006 is Unaudited)
The unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements of Radyne Corporation (the Company) for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary, all of which are of a normal
recurring nature, to present fairly the Companys financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. A copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all amendments to those reports are available through the Commissions website at
www.sec.gov
or through our website found at
www.radn.com
in the
Investors
section.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an
ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. The Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however,
actual results may differ from these estimates under different future conditions. With the Companys acquisition of AeroAstro, Inc. on August 1, 2007, the Companys financial results for the three- and nine-month periods ending
September 30, 2007 include financial results for AeroAstro for the two-months ended September 30, 2007. Periods prior to the three- and nine-months ended Sept 30, 2007, do not include the financial results of AeroAstro, Inc.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In February 2007, the FASB issued
Statement No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,
(SFAS 159). SFAS 159 allows entities the option to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value as of specified dates.
Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 159 to have a
material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements,
(SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other statements require or
permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
On May, 2, 2007, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FIN 48-1,
Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FSP FIN
48-1) which amends FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
(FIN 48) to provide guidance about how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the
purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. Under the FSP FIN 48-1, a tax position is considered to be effectively settled if the taxing authority completed its examination, the Company does not plan to appeal, and it is remote that
the taxing authority would reexamine the tax position in the future.
Adoption of FIN 48
In June 2006, FASB issued FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxe
s. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recognized a decrease of $567,000 in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which
was accounted for as increases to the January 1, 2007 balances of retained earnings and additional paid in capital in the amounts of $513,000 and $54,000, respectively. As of the date of adoption and after accounting for the cumulative effect
adjustment noted above, the Companys unrecognized tax
6
benefits as of January 1, 2007 totaled approximately $1.7 million. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably
affect the effective income tax rate in future periods is approximately $1.3 million.
The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties
related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense; the amount recorded for the three-months ended September 30, 2007 totaled approximately $31,000. Accrued interest and penalties as of January 1, 2007 and
September 30, 2007 were approximately $24,000 and $76,000, respectively. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall
income tax provision.
The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change during the next twelve
months.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to the following material taxing jurisdictions: U.S. federal, Arizona, California and Virginia. The
tax years that remain open to examination by the U.S. federal jurisdiction are years 2003 through 2006; the Arizona and California filings that remain open to examination are years 2002 through 2006.

Share-Based Compensation
|
The Company accounts for share-based
compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based Payment
(SFAS 123(R)) and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107),
Share-Based Payment,
which
requires the measurement and recognition of all share-based compensation under the fair value method. The Company issued 34,750 options and 20,000 stock awards during the three-months ended September 30, 2007.
In addition, as part of the AeroAstro acquisition, the Company issued and exchanged options to AeroAstro employees for options granted prior to the acquisition. The
Company exchanged options at the rate of 6.1459 AeroAstro options for each Radyne option based on the ratio of the value of a share of Radyne stock as agreed on by the parties and the consideration paid per AeroAstro share. The exercise price of the
exchanged options was determined by multiplying the original exercise price times the 6.1459 ratio. The grant date, vesting schedule, term and other characteristics of the original grant carried over to the exchanged Radyne options.
The following table summarizes option activity, prior to the exchange of AeroAstro options, under the Companys 2007 Stock Incentive Plan and 2000 Long-Term
Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2007 and changes during the period then ended.

The aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between the Companys closing stock price of $10.56
at September 28, 2007 and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable as of that date. The excess tax benefit realized from stock plan dispositions and amount classified as cash provided by financing in the
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was $298,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007.
The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.6
million in future compensation expense related to non-vested options with a weighted average vesting period remaining of 2.02 years.
As of
September 30, 2007, there were 1,426,661 shares of common stock available for issuance pursuant to the Companys aforementioned plans.
The
Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP), which was adopted by the Companys shareholders in 1999. Under the terms of the ESPP, eligible employees of the Company are offered options to purchase shares of the Company stock
at a price equal to the fair market value on the first or last day, whichever was lower, of each six-month offering period. As a result of these terms, the Company is required to record expense in the consolidated statements of operations related to
the ESPP subsequent to the adoptions of SFAS123(R). Therefore, the Company has recognized $88,000 in pre-tax compensation expense under the ESPP during the three-months and $296,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2007. There were
1,000,000 shares authorized for issuance under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2007, there were 68,717 shares remaining available for issue under the ESPP.

The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Options-Pricing Model to determine the fair value of stock options under
SFAS 123(R). Management is required to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs, including anticipated changes in the underlying stock price (i.e., expected volatility) and option exercise activity (i.e., expected term). There
were 34,750 options granted during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007. In the prior periods that had options granted, and for which the current expense exists, the Company made assumptions for the three categories of
compensation expense recorded during the period: stock options, ESPP, and awards granted. Directors, executives and non-executives have different historical option exercise patterns and the Company groups its assumptions into categories for options
issued to each of these groups. The expected term was determined to be approximately 5 years for directors, 6 years for executives and 3 years for non-executives based primarily on historical option exercise patterns. The volatility calculated used
the Companys historical volatility rates. The risk free interest rates used were the then current quoted rates from U.S Government Treasury instruments, in which the term of the rates matches that of the awards. The preceding table represents
the weighted average assumptions used to determine compensation cost for stock options during the nine-month period ending September 30, 2007.

The Companys is organized into three
operating segments: 1) Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment, represented by Radyne and Tiernan product brands; 2) Amplifiers, represented by Xicom products; and 3) Microsatellites, represented by AeroAstro products. Each segment is
organized and managed separately for the purposes of making key decisions such as sales/marketing, product development and capital allocation. Ultimately, the chief operating decision maker evaluates and makes decisions, based on the financial
information available about these three segments. The chief operating decision maker for the Company is the CEO. Below are the results of operations for the Companys three operating segments. For further discussion of these results, refer to
Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, located elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Financial Arrangements
|
During the quarter, the Company entered
into a new credit arrangement with a syndicate of banks to replace its existing line of credit. The new arrangement provides up to $60.0 million. The amount of credit available to us under the credit agreement at September 30, 2007 was
approximately $59.8 million. The Company paid approximately $140,000 representing a facility fee and bank costs for a four-year commitment on the arrangement, whether or not any amounts actually are drawn on the line of credit. The credit agreement
expires on August 31, 2011 and limits transfers of assets, liens, loans and investments in other entities and limits the use of proceeds, acquisitions of assets, indebtedness and capital expenditures without the banks consent. To be
eligible to draw funds under the line of credit, the credit agreement requires us to maintain specific levels of tangible net worth, earnings and other ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2007. The overall
credit agreement specifies interest rates between LIBOR plus 100 - 175 basis points based on certain financial measurements or prime rate minus 50 basis points depending on terms and other conditions.

On August 1, 2007 the Company completed its
acquisition of AeroAstro, Inc.. AeroAstro is a leader in innovative microsatellite systems, components, and advanced communications technologies. AeroAstro was the prime contractor for STPSat-1 responsible for spacecraft design and fabrication,
integration of all experiments, space vehicle testing, launch integration support, launch and early orbit operations support, and post-launch mission operations support. In addition to spacecraft equipment, AeroAstro developed and operates the
Sensor Enabled Notification System (SENS), which provides cost effective satellite-based low data rate communications and asset tracking throughout the United States, North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East, Asia, and South America. SENS
customers include government entities requiring reliable low data rate communications and businesses seeking to monitor vital assets. AeroAstro employs approximately 70 people and has principal offices in Ashburn, Virginia; and Littleton, Colorado.
AeroAstro expands the Companys ability to sell its products and technologies to restricted markets. AeroAstros current and expected customer
base is similar to that of the Company and their approach of selling components and subsystems to those customers is consistent with the Companys approach with allied satellite ground station products.
The following table summarizes the preliminary consideration and related expenses associated with the Companys acquisition of AeroAstro, Inc. during the third

AeroAstros current and expected customer base is similar to that of the Company and their approach of selling components and subsystems to those customers is consistent with the Companys approach with allied satellite ground station
products. Finally, AeroAstro expands the Companys ability to sell its products and technologies to restricted markets.
The following
are some of the highlights and recent developments for the three-months ended September 30, 2007:
|
|
|
For the quarter, the Company reported record sales of $38.4 million
|
|
|
|
Earnings for the quarter were $0.19 per diluted share
|
|
|
|
The Company completed the acquisition of AeroAstro, Inc

Net sales during the recently completed quarter and nine-month period increased when compared to the equivalent
periods of 2006. Increases in amplifier sales ($4.8 million in the quarter and $6.7 million in the nine-months to date) and the addition of AeroAstro ($2.3 million for the two-months ending September 30, 2007) were offset by decreases in
sales in the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipments segment ($835,000 in the quarter and $4.5 million in the nine-months to date) (all before eliminations). Growth of Xicom amplifiers resulted from market acceptance of new millimeter-wave
(Ka- and Q-band) amplifiers while the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment experienced declines in sales in conventional single channel (SCPC) modems. The declines in modem sales reflect general market trends towards newer
shared bandwidth alternatives.
During the third quarter, the Company introduced its new
Skywire
tm
line of shared bandwidth modems. Earlier this year, the Company reorganized its Broadcast Equipment sales force to place greater emphasis on
international sales. In addition, the Company announced changes to management in the Satellite Electronics business to place greater emphasis on being responsive to customer needs. As a result, we expect to offset some of the decline in SCPC
satellite product sales with new sales in shared bandwidth products and broadcast equipment during the remainder of 2007 with continued growth expected in 2008.
Based on current backlog and bookings coupled with typical historic patterns, management anticipates that sales
will experience a seasonal increase during the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, future sales growth in the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment is dependent on the Companys ongoing ability to develop and sell new products such as
Skywire
tm
and its ability to yield improved performance from recently expanded sales activities described above. Although the Companys Amplifier
segment continues to experience strong market acceptance, competitor reaction to these successes may blunt further sales increases. As a result of these factors taken together and the addition of AeroAstro, the Company believes that there will be a
sequential increase in sales for last quarter of 2007. However, there can be no assurance that this increase will materialize.
Cost of Sales, Gross Profit and Gross Margin.
Cost of sales generally consists of component costs, outsourced manufacturing and in-house labor associated with assembly, testing, packaging, shipping, and quality assurance,
depreciation of equipment, and indirect manufacturing costs. In addition, the expense related to adjusting the value of excess or obsolete inventory to reflect current market values (when lower than original cost) is included in cost of sales. Gross
profit is the difference between net sales and cost of sales. Gross margin is gross profit stated as a percentage of net sales. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our cost of sales, gross profit and gross margin for the
periods indicated:

The decreased consolidated gross margin for the three- and nine-months periods of 2007 compared with those of 2006
is the result of an increase in the proportion of sales of the Amplifier segment coupled with declines in gross margins in the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment. Although Amplifier segment margins have continued to increase
during the recent quarter, Amplifier segment margins are lower than the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment margins. Amplifier margins have increased due to increased sales of high-margin solid-state amplifiers, improvements in
product reliability leading to reduced warranty expenses and improvements in manufacturing productivity. In addition, the recently acquired Microsatellite segment (AeroAstro) has gross margins that are dilutive to the Company average.
Management believes that gross margins in the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment will remain at historic levels. However, continued strength of
Amplifier segment sales may have the effect of further eroding consolidated margins while competitor response in the Amplifier business may preclude any further improvement in Amplifier segment margins.
Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A).
Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries, commissions for marketing
and support personnel, and travel. Executives and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related expenses of our executive, finance, human resources, information systems, and other administrative personnel, as well
as facilities, professional fees, benefits, liability and D&O insurance premiums, depreciation and amortization and related expenses. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of our selling, general and administrative

During the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007, SG&A declined compared to the prior
years equivalent periods. For the three- and nine-month periods declines in executive compensation resulting from recruiting and transitioning a new CEO in 2006 ($1.5 million) and declines in management incentive accruals and commissions
($576,000) were offset by costs associated with recruiting and hiring additional sales representatives ($682,000), the addition of AeroAstro ($809,000) and other SG&A ($322,000).
For the remainder of 2007, management believes SG&A expenditures will be flat and continue at rates equivalent to the first nine- months of the year adjusted for the addition of AeroAstro.

Increases in R&D expense for the three- and nine-month
periods of 2007 occurred evenly between the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment and the Amplifier segment. The added R&D expense in Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment stemmed from the continued
development of new products including Skywire
tm
described above. In the Amplifier segment, the increased R&D expense occurred from personnel expense
related to four new engineers, utilized to perform research activities on several new products at the segment. The increased expenditures were in line with planned goals and budgeted forecasts aimed at expanding the segment product lines and,
ultimately, both sales and margins. The Company will continue to invest in new product development and upgrades to existing products to accomplish its strategic goals. We expect that R&D expense, as a percentage of sales, should continue at the
historic rates.
Income Taxes.
Income tax expense consists of changes in deferred taxes and amounts recognized as payable to
the federal government, states and foreign countries in which the Company does business.

Because of the factors described above, during the third quarter earnings before taxes increased, which had the
effect of increasing income taxes for the quarter. The Companys effective tax rate decreased from 32.5% to 28.9% for the third quarter of 2006 and 2007, respectively. The decrease resulted from the tax effects of a decline in our forecasted
equity compensation expense and the reapportionment of state income taxes resulting from the acquisition of AeroAstro.
For the first nine-months of 2007
compared to the equivalent period of 2006, the Companys effective tax rate declined from 35.1% to 34.0% as a result of the equity compensation and state apportionment factors described above. The decline in the effective tax rate coupled with
a decrease in earnings before taxes during the first nine-months of 2007 compared to 2006 resulted in a decrease in income tax expense.
Management
believes that, assuming the Company achieves current forecasts, the current nine-months to date effective tax rate is indicative of the tax rate for the remainder of the year.

Net earnings increased when comparing the current years third quarter net earnings to the same period of
2006. This increase is due to the increase in sales and other factors described above. For the first nine-months of 2007 compared to the equivalent period of 2006, net earnings declined as result primarily of declining gross margins offset by
declining effective tax rates and other factors described above.
Profitability in the coming quarters and the remainder of the year will continue to be
below historic rates because of decreases in gross margins (see above) resulting from an increased proportion of sales in the Companys Amplifier segment along and the addition of AeroAstro.
Bookings and Backlog.
Bookings consist of orders taken while backlog is the total of these orders not yet shipped at the end of the period. The
Company charges cancellation fees for orders that cancel and the net difference between the backlog amount and the cancellation charge is recorded as a negative booking. There is no guarantee that cancellation charges will ultimately be paid to the
Company. The following table summarizes the year-over-year comparison of bookings (orders taken) and backlog (orders scheduled for shipping in future periods) for the periods presented below:

For the third quarter, consolidated bookings increased due to the addition of AeroAstro ($2.8 million) which was
offset by declines in bookings for the Satellite Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment ($1.1 million) and for the Amplifier segment ($288,000) (all before eliminations).
Over the nine-month period, the increase in bookings was due to increases in orders in the Amplifier segment ($13.0 million before eliminations) offset by a decrease in bookings in the Companys Satellite
Electronics and Broadcast Equipment segment ($5.4 million before eliminations). Preliminary indications suggest that bookings in the Amplifier segment will remain strong. This, coupled with expected new contracts for AeroAstro (Microsatellite
segment), cause management to believe that consolidated bookings will continue to increase through the next quarter.
Liquidity and
Capital Resources
The Company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $19.9 million at September 30, 2007 compared to $27.5 million at
December 31, 2006. This decrease resulted from the acquisition of AeroAstro, Inc. The Company used $17.2 million of cash, net of cash received, in partial payment for the outstanding shares of AeroAstro and retired $354,000 of
AeroAstros debt.
19
Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine-months of 2007 was $9.5 million as compared to $5.9 million for the first nine-months of 2006. Net cash provided by operating activities primarily resulted from net earnings of
$8.2 million compared with $8.3 million for the same period of 2006. Cash from changes in accounts receivable increased by $5.1 million in the first nine-months of 2007, while in the same period of 2006, cash decreased by $2.1 million. Changes in
Accrued Expenses decreased cash by $1.9 million for the first nine-months of 2007, while in the same period of 2006, changes in Accrued Expenses decreased cash by $206,000. For 2007 to date, changes in Inventory levels used $3.6 million in cash
compared to $3.2 million for the equivalent period in 2006. We expect that the Companys businesses will continue to generate cash from operations but there is no assurance that will continue to be the case.
Investing Activities:
Net cash used in investing activities for the
first nine-months of 2007 was $19.1 million as compared to $1.4 million for the first nine-months of 2006. The majority of the increase in cash used by investing activities is due to the acquisition of AeroAstro. The acquisition used $17.8 million,
net of cash acquired. Capital expenditures utilized $1.5 million of cash in the first nine-months of 2007, compared with $1.6 million in the same period of 2006. Management believes that capital expenditures will be similar to rates of depreciation
for the foreseeable future.
Financing Activities:
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $1.9 million for the first nine-months of 2007, which consisted primarily of $1.0 million of employee stock option exercises and the sale of common stock to employees, $595,000. During the same period of
2006, financing activities resulted in $7.3 million of which there was $6.2 million in employee stock option exercises and $610,000 of net sales of common stock to employees. The Company currently does not have any debt outstanding and management
will continue to evaluate the Companys financing needs throughout future quarters.
Liquidity Analysis
During the quarter, the Company entered into a new credit arrangement with a syndicate of banks to replace its existing line of credit. The new arrangement provides up to
$60.0 million. The amount of credit available to us under the credit agreement at September 30, 2007 was approximately $59.8 million. The Company paid approximately $140,000 representing a facility fee and bank costs for a four-year commitment
on the arrangement, whether or not any amounts actually are drawn on the line of credit. The credit agreement expires on August 31, 2011 and limits transfers of assets, liens, loans and investments in other entities and limits the use of
proceeds, acquisitions of assets, indebtedness and capital expenditures without the banks consent. To be eligible to draw funds under the line of credit, the credit agreement requires us to maintain specific levels of tangible net worth,
earnings and other ratios. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2007. The overall credit agreement specifies interest rates between LIBOR plus 100 - 175 basis points based on certain financial measurements or prime
rate minus 50 basis points depending on terms and other conditions.
As noted above, the Company used approximately half of its current cash reserves to
acquire AeroAstro, Inc. Management believes that the remaining cash balances, future profits, and available credit facility will provide sufficient capital for us to carry on our operations for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no
assurance that the Company will remain profitable, continue to generate additional cash or that there will be sufficient funds available if unforeseen events occur.
Contractual Obligations
As of September 30, 2007, there have been no material changes outside the normal
course of business in the contractual obligations disclosed in Part II, Item 7, to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, under the caption Contractual Obligations and Commitments, other
than the new credit facility described above.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
20
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company has chosen accounting policies appropriate to report accurately and fairly the operating results and financial position of the Company, and applies those accounting policies in a consistent manner. As
described in Item 7, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the Company
considers policies on accounting for revenue recognition, stock compensation, valuation of receivables, valuation and impairment of intangible assets, warranty liability, valuation of inventory, and accounting for income taxes to be the most
critical factors in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements because they involve the most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
