COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

 

(1)

General

 

 

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the information furnished reflects all material adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the unaudited interim periods. The results of operations for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, comprehensive income was equal to net income.

 

 

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 and the notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and all of the Company’s other filings with the SEC.

 

 

(2)

Reclassifications

 

 

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial statements to conform to the Company’s current financial statement format.

 

 

(3)

Stock-Based Compensation

 

 

 

The Company applies the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which establishes the accounting for employee stock-based awards. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation for both equity and liability-classified awards is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the requisite employee service period (generally the vesting period of the grant). The fair value of liability-classified awards is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until the award is settled, with changes in fair value recognized pro-rata for the portion of the requisite service period rendered. The Company used the modified prospective method upon adopting SFAS No. 123(R).

 

 

 

The Company recognized stock-based compensation for awards issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plans and the Company’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) in the following line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, $54,000 and $41,000, respectively, related to awards issued pursuant to the ESPP. Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, $105,000 and $83,000, respectively, related to awards issued pursuant to the ESPP.

 

 

 

Included in total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2008 is a benefit of $4,000 as a result of the required fair value remeasurement of the Company’s liability-classified stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) at the end of the reporting period. Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in the six months ended January 31, 2008, $85,000 related to awards of SARs. There were no SARs outstanding in the three or six month periods ended January 31, 2007.

 

 

 

Stock-based compensation that was capitalized and included in ending inventory at January 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007 was $215,000 and $106,000, respectively.

 

 

 

The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yield, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect the Company’s best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of its control. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employee who receives stock-based awards.

 

 

 

The per share weighted average grant-date fair value of stock-based awards granted during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 approximated $17.43 and $13.79, respectively. The per share weighted average grant-date fair value of stock-based awards granted during the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 approximated $15.73 and $10.68, respectively. In addition to the exercise and grant-date prices of the awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the initial fair value of stock-based awards in the respective periods are listed in the table below:

Stock-based awards granted during the three and six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term of five years and a vesting period of three years. All stock-based awards granted through July 31, 2005 had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and a contractual term of ten years and generally a vesting period of five years. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with new shares. All SARs granted through January 31, 2008 may only be settled with cash.

 

 

 

The Company estimates expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of the Company’s stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in the Company’s stock and the Company’s expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. The risk-free interest rate is based on the United States (“U.S.”) treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life is the number of years that the Company estimates awards will be outstanding prior to exercise. The expected life of the awards issued after July 31, 2005 and through July 31, 2007 was determined using the “simplified method” prescribed in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107. Effective August 1, 2007, and in accordance with SAB No. 107, the Company values awards based on the expected life of the total award with the expected life determined by employee groups with sufficiently distinct behavior patterns.

Earnings Per Share

 

 

 

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted EPS reflects the dilution from potential common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock-based awards and convertible senior notes, if dilutive, outstanding during each period. Equity-classified stock-based awards to purchase 586,000 and 697,000 shares for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the EPS calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Equity-classified stock-based awards to purchase 588,000 and 1,035,000 shares for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were not included in the EPS calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

 

 

Liability-classified stock-based awards do not impact, and are not included in, the denominator for EPS calculations.

 

 

 

In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share,” the Company includes the impact of the assumed conversion of its 2.0% convertible senior notes in calculating diluted EPS.

Acquisitions

 

 

 

In August 2006, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (“Insite”), a logistics application software company, for $3,203,000, including final transaction costs of $232,000. In addition to the guaranteed purchase price, the Company might be required to make certain earn-out payments based on the achievement of future sales targets. The first part of the earn-out cannot exceed $1,350,000 and is limited to a five-year period. The second part of the earn-out, which is for a ten-year period, is unlimited and based on a per unit future sales target primarily relating to new commercial satellite-based mobile data communication markets. Insite has developed the geoOps™ Enterprise Location Monitoring System, a software-based solution that allows customers to integrate legacy data systems with near-real time logistics and operational data systems. Sales and income relating to the Insite assets acquired have not been material to the Company’s results of operations. This operation was combined, in August 2006, with the Company’s existing business and is part of the mobile data communications segment.

 

 

 

In February 2007, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Digicast Networks, Inc. (“Digicast”), a manufacturer of digital video broadcasting equipment, for $1,000,000. Sales and income related to the Digicast assets acquired have not been material to the Company’s results of operations. This operation was combined, in February 2007, with the Company’s existing business and is part of the telecommunications transmission segment.

2.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024

 

 

 

On January 27, 2004, the Company issued $105,000,000 of its 2.0% convertible senior notes in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from this transaction were $101,179,000 after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and other transaction costs of $3,821,000.

 

 

 

The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 2.0% and, during certain periods, the notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $31.50 per share (a conversion rate of 31.7460 shares per $1,000 original principal amount of notes), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The notes may be converted if, during a conversion period on each of at least 20 trading days, the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price in effect. Upon conversion of the notes, in lieu of delivering common stock, the Company may, in its discretion, deliver cash or a combination of cash and common stock. The notes can be converted, at the option of the noteholders, during the conversion period of December 17, 2007 through March 14, 2008. On the basis of the closing sale prices of the Company’s common stock through March 3, 2008, the Company also anticipates that the notes will be convertible during the conversion period of March 17, 2008 through June 16, 2008. Upon receiving notification of a noteholder’s intent to convert, the Company, in accordance with the provisions of the indenture, will inform the noteholder of its intention to deliver shares of common stock or cash, or a combination thereof. The Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the notes on or after February 4, 2009. Holders of the notes will have the right to require the Company to repurchase some or all of the outstanding notes on February 1, 2011, February 1, 2014 and February 1, 2019 and upon certain events, including a change in control. If not redeemed by the Company or repaid pursuant to the holders’ right to require repurchase, the notes mature on February 1, 2024. The notes have substantive conversion features as defined by EITF No. 05-1, “Accounting for the Conversion of an Instrument that Becomes Convertible Upon the Issuer’s Exercise of a Call Option.” Accordingly, the Company will not recognize a gain or loss if it issues common stock upon the conversion and settlement of these notes.

 

 

 

The 2.0% interest is payable in cash, semi-annually, through February 1, 2011. After such date, the 2.0% interest will be accreted into the principal amount of the notes. Also, commencing with the six-month period beginning February 1, 2009, if the average note price for the applicable trading period equals 120% or more of the accreted principal amount of such notes, the Company will pay contingent interest at an annual rate of 0.25%.

 

 

 

The notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company, ranking equally in right of payment with all of its other existing and future unsecured senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to any of its future subordinated indebtedness. All of Comtech Telecommunications Corp.’s (the “Parent”) wholly-owned subsidiaries have issued full and unconditional guarantees in favor of the holders of the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), except for the subsidiary that purchased Memotec, Inc. in fiscal 2004 (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”). These full and unconditional guarantees are joint and several. Other than supporting the operations of its subsidiaries, the Parent has no independent assets or operations and there are currently no significant restrictions on its ability, or the ability of the guarantors, to obtain funds from each other by dividend or loan. Consolidating financial information regarding the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiary can be found in Note (16) to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

 

 

The net proceeds of the offering are being used for working capital and general corporate purposes and potentially may be used for future acquisitions of businesses or technologies or repurchases of the Company’s common stock. The Company filed a registration statement with the SEC, which has become effective, for the resale of the notes and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes.

Income Taxes

 

 

 

Effective August 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN No. 48”). Except for additional disclosures as noted below, there was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements and the Company did not record any cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance in retained earnings. In accordance with FIN No. 48, there was no retrospective application to any prior financial statement periods.

10



 

 

 

At August 1, 2007 (the date of adoption of FIN No. 48) and January 31, 2008, the total unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest, was $3,955,000 and $4,131,000, respectively, all of which would impact the Company’s effective tax rate, if recognized. Unrecognized tax benefits result from income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on the Company’s income tax returns for which a tax benefit has not been recorded in the Company’s financial statements. Of the total unrecognized tax benefits, $3,018,000 and $2,801,000, were recorded as non-current income taxes payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets of the Company at January 31, 2008 and August 1, 2007, respectively.

 

 

 

The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. At August 1, 2007 and January 31, 2008, interest accrued relating to income taxes was $462,000 and $539,000, respectively, net of the related income tax benefit.

 

 

 

The tax years that remain open to examination by the U.S. Federal tax authorities are fiscal 2004 and forward. In addition, the Company is subject to tax in various states and its Canadian subsidiary is subject to Canadian federal and provincial taxes. In general, these tax returns are open for examination by the applicable tax authorities for fiscal 2004 and forward.

Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

 

 

The Company issues stock-based awards pursuant to the following plans:

 

 

 

1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan – The 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan, as amended, provided for the granting to key employees and officers of incentive and non-qualified stock options to purchase up to 2,345,625 shares of the Company’s common stock at prices generally not less than the fair market value at the date of grant with the exception of anyone who, prior to the grant, owns more than 10% of the voting power, in which case the exercise price cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value. In addition, it provided formula grants to non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The term of the options could be no more than ten years. However, for incentive stock options granted to any employee who, prior to the granting of the option, owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power, the option term could be no more than five years.

 

 

 

As of January 31, 2008, the Company had granted stock-based awards representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,016,218 shares (net of 428,441 canceled awards) at prices ranging between $0.67-5.31 per share, of which 675 are outstanding at January 31, 2008. To date, 2,015,543 shares have been exercised. Outstanding awards have been transferred to the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. The terms applicable to these awards prior to the transfer continue to apply. The plan was terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors in December 1999 due to the approval by the shareholders of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan.

 

 

 

2000 Stock Incentive Plan – The 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, provides for the granting to all employees and consultants of the Company (including prospective employees and consultants) non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, performance shares, performance units and other stock-based awards. In addition, employees of the Company are eligible to be granted incentive stock options. Non-employee directors of the Company are eligible to receive non-discretionary grants of nonqualified stock options subject to certain limitations. The aggregate number of shares of common stock which may be issued may not exceed 6,587,500 plus the shares that were transferred to the Plan relating to outstanding awards that were previously granted, or available for grant, under the 1982 Incentive Stock Option Plan and the 1993 Incentive Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, consistent with the terms of the Plan, will determine the types of awards to be granted, the terms and conditions of each award and the number of shares of common stock to be covered by each award. Grants of incentive and non-qualified stock awards may not have a term exceeding ten years or no more than five years in the case of an incentive stock award granted to a stockholder who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power.

 

 

 

As of January 31, 2008, the Company had granted stock-based awards representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 5,418,935 shares (net of 581,365 canceled awards) at prices ranging between $3.13-51.65, of which 2,659,073 are outstanding at January 31, 2008. As of January 31, 2008, 2,759,862 stock-based awards have been exercised. All stock-based awards granted through January 31, 2008 had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

Segment Information

 

 

 

Reportable operating segments are determined based on the Company’s management approach. The management approach, as defined by SFAS No. 131, is based on the way that the chief operating decision-maker organizes the segments within an enterprise for making decisions about resources to be allocated and assessing their performance.

 

 

 

While the Company’s results of operations are primarily reviewed on a consolidated basis, the chief operating decision-maker also manages the enterprise in three operating segments: (i) telecommunications transmission, (ii) mobile data communications and (iii) RF microwave amplifiers.

 

 

 

The telecommunications transmission segment provides sophisticated equipment and systems, such as satellite earth station equipment (including analog and digital modems, frequency converters, power amplifiers, and voice gateways) and over-the-horizon microwave communications products and systems, that are used to enhance satellite transmission efficiency and that enable wireless communications in environments where terrestrial communications are unavailable, inefficient or too expensive. The telecommunications transmission segment also operates a high-volume technology manufacturing center that is utilized, in part by the Company’s two other segments as well as third party commercial customers who outsource a portion of their manufacturing to the Company. As such, the telecommunications transmission segment benefits from the related increased operating efficiencies.

 

 

 

The mobile data communications segment provides customers with an integrated solution, including mobile satellite transceivers and satellite network support, to enable global satellite-based communications when mobile, real-time secure transmission is required for applications including logistics, support and battlefield command and control.

 

 

 

The RF microwave amplifier segment designs, manufactures, and markets solid-state, high-power broadband amplifier products and high-power switches.

 

 

 

Unallocated expenses result from such corporate expenses as legal, accounting and executive compensation. In addition, for the three and six months ended January 31, 2008, unallocated expenses include $2,552,000 and $5,271,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2007, unallocated expenses include $1,537,000 and $3,347,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Interest expense (which includes amortization of deferred financing costs) associated with the Company’s 2.0% convertible senior notes is not allocated to the operating segments. Depreciation and amortization includes amortization of stock-based compensation. Unallocated assets consist principally of cash, deferred financing costs and deferred tax assets. Substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the U.S. Corporate management defines and reviews segment profitability based on the same allocation methodology as presented in the segment data tables below.

Legal Proceedings

 

 

 

Brazil Subpoena

 

In October 2007, the Company’s Florida-based subsidiary, Comtech Systems, Inc. (“CSI”), received a customs export enforcement subpoena from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) branch of the Department of Homeland Security. The subpoena relates to CSI’s $1,982,000 contract with the Brazilian Naval Commission (“the Brazil contract”) and it required the production of all books, records and documents, including copies of contracts, invoices and payments related to agreements between CSI, its agent, its subcontractor and the Brazilian government. The Company believes that the ICE investigation is focused primarily on whether or not CSI was in compliance with export-related laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) and the Export Administration Regulations. CSI has produced documents in response to the subpoena request and intends to continue to provide related information to ICE. Customs officials have detained certain inventory related to the Brazil contract pending resolution of this matter.

 

 

 

Based on its ongoing investigation into this matter, the Company believes that the detained inventory, which consists of commercial satellite equipment, was not modified or adapted in any way to meet Brazilian military requirements and was only subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of Commerce and not the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State. In addition, in order to provide certain defense services, including conducting factory acceptance testing at CSI’s Florida facility, the Company also believes that CSI was required to obtain a license (referred to as a Technical Assistance Agreement (“TAA”)) from the U.S. Department of State. The Company believes the TAA authorized all activities under the Brazil contract that were subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of State.

 

 

 

The Company believes that CSI made a good faith effort to comply with applicable regulations; however, the Company believes that CSI made inadvertent administrative errors resulting in a TAA that did not become effective on a timely basis. The administrative errors relate primarily to the execution of non-disclosure agreements (“NDA”) with certain third country national employees of CSI’s agent. These individuals have now signed appropriate NDAs, and, in December 2007, CSI filed an amended TAA with the U.S. Department of State. CSI has also requested that the U.S. Department of State confirm the Company and CSI’s view that the Brazil contract does not require any other State Department license.

 

 

 

The Company has not recorded any revenue associated with this contract and the related inventory (including inventory that has been detained) had a net book value of $1,110,000 as of January 31, 2008. The Company believes that all of the inventory can be sold to other customers if the Brazilian government cancels the contract due to the delays resulting from the detention of the inventory and the inventory is ultimately returned to the Company in saleable condition.

 

 

 

The Company is cooperating with the ICE investigation and intends to continue to do so. Because the ICE investigation and the Company’s investigation are ongoing, the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter at this time. Violations of U.S. export control laws and regulations that are identified by the U.S. government could result in civil or criminal fines and/or penalties, and/or result in an injunction against CSI, all of which could, in the aggregate, materially impact the Company’s business, results of operations and cash flows.

 

 

 

Other Legal Proceedings

 

Since March 2007, the Company has been a party to litigation with a company that claimed it was a consultant and a reseller of certain of the Company’s products and that it was owed damages for alleged lost profits, as well as punitive damages, costs and attorney’s fees. In January 2008, the Company settled the matter. The settlement did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operation for the three or six months ended January 31, 2008.

 

 

 

The Company is party to certain other legal actions, which arise in the normal course of business. Although the ultimate outcome of litigation is difficult to accurately predict, the Company believes that the outcome of these actions will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
