EXPLANATORY NOTE |
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company) is amending its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2006, as filed on December 4, 2006 (the Original Form 10-Q), to conform with Rule 10-01(d) of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. On December 16, 2006, KPMG LLP (KPMG), the Companys independent registered public accounting firm, completed its review of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended October 31, 2006. |
The Original Form 10-Q included an explanatory paragraph in Part I, Item 1 and a risk factor in Part II, Item 1A, which indicated that on November 30, 2006, KPMG advised the Company that it believed that one of its staff accountants who worked on the engagement to audit the financial statements of the Company made an investment in the Companys common stock and that this matter raised a question as to whether KPMGs independence had been impaired. |
On December 16, 2006, KPMG concluded that its independence has not been compromised, and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the Audit Committee), based on the information provided by KPMG, also concluded that KPMGs independence has not been compromised. In making this determination, the Audit Committee considered, among other factors, that (i) the investment by the staff accountant was believed to be de minimis (approximately $5,000); (ii) the staff accountant had a low-level of responsibility as compared to other members of the audit engagement team; (iii) all original work performed by the staff accountant that required agreeing amounts to source documents, performing analytical reviews and performing other significant procedures was re-performed and evaluated by other KPMG partners, managers and staff not previously associated with the audit of the Companys financial statements; and (iv) as a result of this re-performance, KPMG is unaware of any material changes or errors in any of the Companys consolidated financial statements or any required changes to Managements Reports on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. In addition, the Audit Committee considered that all other members of the audit engagement team were interviewed by KPMG regarding this matter and that these interviews revealed no additional independence matters. |
Except for the removal of the explanatory paragraph in Part I, Item 1 and an update of the Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A, there are no other changes to the Original Form 10-Q. |

COMTECH TELECOMMUNICATIONS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES |
(1) | General |
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Comtech Telecommunications
Corp. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of and for the three months ended
October 31, 2006 and 2005 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 months ended October
31, 2006 and 2005, 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, 2006 and the notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form
10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and all of the
Companys other filings with the SEC. |
(2) | Reclassifications |
Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported financial statements to conform to
the Companys 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 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 Company used the modified prospective method upon adopting
SFAS No. 123(R). | |
The Company recognized stock-based compensation for awards issued under the Companys Stock Option
Plans and the Companys 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) in the following
line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations: | |
Three months ended October 31, |
|||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2006 | 2005 | ||||||
Cost of sales | $ | 140,000 | 76,000 | ||||
Selling, general and administrative expenses | 1,421,000 | 1,085,000 | |||||
Research and development expenses | 249,000 | 135,000 | |||||
Stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit | 1,810,000 | 1,296,000 | |||||
Income tax benefit | (495,000 | ) | (274,000 | ) | |||
Net stock-based compensation expense | $ | 1,315,000 | 1,022,000 | ||||
5 |
Of the total stock-based compensation expense before income tax benefit recognized in the three months
ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, $42,000 and $39,000, respectively, related to awards issued pursuant
to the ESPP. Stock-based compensation that was capitalized and included in ending inventory at October
31, 2006 and July 31, 2006 was $58,000 and $61,000, respectively. | |
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Company believes that the valuation technique and the approach utilized to develop the underlying
assumptions are appropriate in calculating the fair values of the Companys stock options granted
during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. Estimates of fair value are not intended
to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by the employees who receive equity
awards. | |
The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the three months ended October
31, 2006 and 2005 was $10.58 and $14.18, respectively. In addition to the exercise and grant date
prices of the awards, certain weighted average assumptions that were used to estimate the fair value
of stock option grants in the respective periods are listed in the table below: | |
Three months ended October 31, |
|||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
2006 | 2005 | ||||
Expected dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | |
Expected volatility | 45.47 | % | 51.79 | % | |
Risk-free interest rate | 4.91 | % | 4.11 | % | |
Expected term (years) | 3.63 | 3.63 |
Options granted during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 had 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 options 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. As of October 31, 2006, the weighted average estimated forfeiture
rate was 8.4%. | |
The Company estimates expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of the Companys
stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in the Companys stock and the
Companys 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 option term is the number of years that the Company
estimates that options will be outstanding prior to exercise. The expected term of the awards issued
after July 31, 2005 was determined using the simplified method prescribed in SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 107. | |
The actual income tax benefit recorded relating to the exercise of stock option awards was $295,000
and $397,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and is classified
as a financing cash inflow in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
The Company settles employee stock option exercises with new shares. | |
At
October 31, 2006, total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related
to unvested stock-based awards was $16,909,000, net of estimated forfeitures.
That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period
of 2.4 years. |
(4) | 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 options and the conversion of convertible senior notes, if dilutive, outstanding during each
period. Stock options to purchase 1,373,000 and 623,000 shares for the three months ended October
31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, were not included in the diluted EPS calculation because their effect
would have been anti-dilutive. | |
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. |

(5) | Acquisition |
In August 2006, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting,
Inc. (Insite), a logistics application software company, for $3,227,000, including transaction
costs of $256,000. To date, the Company has paid $2,191,000 and expects to make guaranteed payments
of $1,036,000 through the first quarter of fiscal 2008. 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 would not have
been material to the Companys results of operations for the three months ended October 31,
2005 and were not material for the three months ended October 31, 2006. This operation was combined
with the Companys existing business and is part of the mobile data communications segment. | |
The Insite purchase price was allocated as follows: | |
Estimated Useful Lives |
|||||||
Fair value of net tangible assets acquired |
$ | 335,000 | |||||
Adjustments to record intangible assets at fair value: |
|||||||
Existing technology | 447,000 | 7 years | |||||
Other intangibles | 302,000 | 1 to 10 years | |||||
Goodwill | 2,143,000 | Indefinite | |||||
2,892,000 | |||||||
Aggregate purchase price | $ | 3,227,000 | |||||
The valuation of existing technology was based primarily on the discounted capitalization of royalty
expense saved because the Company now owns the asset. The valuation of other intangibles was primarily
based on the value of the discounted cash flows that the related assets could be expected to generate
in the future. |

(6) | Accounts Receivable |
Accounts receivable consist of the following: | |
October 31, 2006 | July 31, 2006 | |||||||
Accounts receivable from commercial customers | $ | 36,228,000 | 36,700,000 | |||||
Unbilled receivables on contracts-in-progress | 2,154,000 | 10,361,000 | ||||||
Amounts receivable from the U.S. government and its agencies | 32,310,000 | 24,362,000 | ||||||
70,692,000 | 71,423,000 | |||||||

Accounts receivable, net | $ | 69,300,000 | 70,047,000 | |||||
There was no retainage included in unbilled receivables at October 31, 2006 or July 31, 2006. In the
opinion of management, substantially all of the unbilled balances will be billed and collected within
one year. As of October 31, 2006 and July 31, 2006, a prime contractor represented 8.7% and 16.6%,
respectively, of accounts receivable, net. |

The Company provides warranty coverage for most of its products for a period of at least one year from
the date of shipment. The Company records a liability for estimated warranty expense based on historical
claims, product failure rates and other factors. In the three months ended October 31, 2006, the
Company recorded a reduction in its estimated reserve for warranty obligations of $517,000 due to
lower than anticipated claims received to date on a large over-the-horizon microwave system contract
whose warranty period is nearing expiration. Changes in the Companys product warranty liability
during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 were as follows: | |

(9) | 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes |
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 purchasers 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 Companys 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 Companys 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 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 Issuers 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 Companys 2.0% convertible senior notes (the Guarantor Subsidiaries),
except for the subsidiary that purchased Memotec, Inc. in fiscal 2004 (the Non-Guarantor Subsidiary).
Comtech Tolt Technologies, Inc. (Tolt), which was purchased in February 2005, became
a guarantor in July 2005. 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 Companys 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. |
(10) | Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan |
The Company has stock option and employee stock purchase plans as follows: | |
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
Companys 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 Companys 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 October 31, 2006, the Company
had granted stock options representing the right to purchase an aggregate of 2,016,218 shares (net
of 428,441 canceled options) at prices ranging between $0.67 - $5.31 per share, of which 151,962
are outstanding at October 31, 2006. To date, 1,864,256 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 Companys Board of Directors
in December 1999 due to the approval by the shareholders of the 2000 Stock Incentive Plan. |
9 |
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, stock appreciation rights, 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 5,737,500 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 Companys 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 options may
not have a term exceeding ten years or no more than five years in the case of an incentive stock
option granted to a stockholder who owns stock representing more than 10% of the voting power. As
of October 31, 2006, the Company had granted stock options representing the right to purchase an
aggregate of 4,850,185 shares (net of 487,615 canceled options) at prices ranging between $3.13
- $41.51, of which 3,047,120 are outstanding at October 31, 2006. As of October 31, 2006, 1,803,065
stock options have been exercised. All options granted through October 31, 2006 had exercise prices
equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. All options granted through
July 31, 2005 have a term of ten years. All options granted since August 1, 2005 have a term of five years. | |

2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The ESPP was approved by the shareholders on December 12, 2000 and 675,000 shares of
the Companys common stock were reserved for issuance. The ESPP is intended to provide eligible
employees of the Company the opportunity to acquire common stock in the Company at 85% of fair market
value at date of issuance through participation in the payroll-deduction based ESPP. Through the
first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company issued 242,121 shares of its common stock to participating
employees in connection with the ESPP. |

sold to international customers. For the three months ended October 31, 2006, except for sales to
the U.S. government, no other customer represented more than 10% of consolidated net sales. For the
three months ended October 31, 2005, one customer, a prime contractor, represented 12.5% of consolidated
net sales. |
(12) | Segment Information |
Reportable operating segments are determined based on the Companys 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 Companys 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. Telecommunications transmission products include satellite earth station
products (such as analog and digital modems, frequency converters, power amplifiers, and voice gateways)
and over-the-horizon microwave communications products and systems. Mobile data communications products
include satellite-based mobile location, tracking and messaging hardware and related services. RF
microwave amplifier products include solid-state, high-power, broadband amplifier products that use
the microwave and radio frequency spectrums. | |
Unallocated expenses result from such corporate expenses as legal, accounting and executive compensation.
In addition, for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, unallocated expenses include $1,810,000
and $1,296,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense. Interest expense (which includes
amortization of deferred financing costs) associated with the Companys 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 Companys 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. | |

(14) | Legal Proceedings |
The Company is subject to certain 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 position
or results of operations. | |
During fiscal 2005, two of the Companys leased facilities located in Florida experienced hurricane
damage to both leasehold improvements and personal property. As of October 31, 2006, the Company
has completed all restoration efforts relating to the hurricane damage and has recorded an $816,000
insurance recovery receivable and accrued a total of $2,240,000 for hurricane related costs. Despite
a written agreement with the general contractor that the Company believes limits its liability for
the cost of the repairs to the amount of insurance proceeds ultimately received from its insurance
company, a dispute has arisen with the general contractor and a certain subcontractor over the subcontractors
demand for payment directly from the Company (by virtue of a purported assignment of rights and other
grounds) in an amount exceeding the insurance proceeds by $816,000, plus late charges, interest,
fees, costs and certain treble damages. As a result of this dispute, the Company deposited $1,422,000,
representing the balance of the insurance proceeds it has received, in its attorneys trust
account and filed a complaint for declaratory judgment in the 9th Judicial Circuit Court for Orange
County, Florida. The general contractor and the subcontractor have filed separate and independent
actions against the Company and its insurance company, all of which have now been consolidated under
the Companys original action. The Company has also filed a cross-claim against its insurance
company. Discovery cutoff was December 1, 2006 and trial has been scheduled for February 13, 2007; however, it
is likely that this date will change. The Company
does not expect that the outcome of this matter will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position. |
(15) | Recent Accounting Pronouncements |
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No.
157) to clarify the definition of fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value
and expand the disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 also stipulates that, as a market-based
measurement, fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability, and establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes
between (a) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent
of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (b) the reporting entitys own assumptions about
market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances
(unobservable inputs). SFAS No. 157 will be effective for the Companys first quarter of fiscal
2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial statements. | |
In September 2006, the SEC issued SAB No. 108 (SAB No. 108) which provides interpretive
guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered
in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB No. 108 must be applied prior to the end of the Companys fiscal year ending July 31, 2007. The Company has commenced the process of evaluating the potential effects of SAB No. 108 on its consolidated
financial statements and is not yet in a position to determine what, if any, effect SAB No. 108 will have on its consolidated
financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the
accounting and reporting for uncertainties in income tax law and prescribes a comprehensive model
for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax
positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 prescribes a two-step evaluation
process for tax positions. The first step is recognition based on a determination of whether it is
more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution
of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The
second step is to measure a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not threshold. The tax position
is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon
ultimate settlement. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold,
the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 is effective beginning
in the Companys first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN
48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption.
The Company has commenced the process of evaluating the potential effects of FIN 48 on its consolidated
financial statements and is not yet in a position to determine what, if any, effect FIN 48 will have
on its consolidated financial statements. |

In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF No. 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers
and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (EITF
No. 06-3). EITF No. 06-3 provides that taxes imposed by a governmental authority on a revenue
producing transaction between a seller and a customer should be shown in the income statement on
either a gross or a net basis, based on the entitys accounting policy, which should be disclosed
pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 22, Disclosure of Accounting
Policies. The Company early adopted EITF No. 06-3 in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The
Company will continue to present taxes within the scope of EITF No. 06-3 on a net basis. As such,
the adoption of EITF No. 06-3 did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. | |
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS
No. 154), which changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principles, as well as to
changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions.
SFAS No. 154 eliminates the requirement to include the cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principle in the income statement and instead requires that changes in accounting principle be retroactively
applied. A change in accounting estimate continues to be accounted for in the period of change and
future periods if necessary. A correction of an error continues to be reported by restating prior
period financial statements. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 in the Companys first quarter
of fiscal 2007, and its adoption did not have any effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements. |

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
Certain information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, including but not limited to, information relating to our future performance and financial condition, our plans and objectives and our assumptions regarding such future performance, financial condition, plans and objectives that involve certain significant known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors not under our control which may cause actual results, future performance and financial condition, and achievement of our plans and objectives to be materially different from the results, performance or other expectations implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include the timing of receipt of, and our performance on, new orders that can cause significant fluctuations in net sales and operating results, the timing and funding of government contracts, adjustments to gross profits on long-term contracts, risks associated with international sales, rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product announcements and enhancements, changing customer demands, changes in prevailing economic and political conditions, and other factors described herein and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. OVERVIEW We design, develop, produce and market innovative products, systems and services for advanced communications solutions. We believe many of our solutions play a vital role in providing or enhancing communication capabilities when terrestrial communications infrastructure is unavailable or ineffective. We conduct our business through three complementary segments: telecommunications transmission, mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers. We sell our products to a diverse customer base in the global commercial and government communications markets. We believe we are a leader in the market segments that we serve. Our telecommunications transmission segment, which is currently our largest business segment, provides sophisticated equipment 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. Our 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 applications. Our RF microwave amplifiers segment designs, manufactures and markets solid-state, high-power, broadband RF microwave amplifier products. A substantial portion of our sales may be derived from a limited number of relatively large customer contracts, the timing of revenues from which cannot be predicted. Quarterly and period-to-period sales and operating results may be significantly affected by one or more of such contracts. In addition, our gross profit is affected by a variety of factors, including the mix of products, systems and services sold, production efficiencies, estimates of warranty expense, price competition and general economic conditions. Our gross profit may also be affected by the impact of any cumulative adjustments to contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. Accordingly, we can experience significant fluctuations in sales and operating results from quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period comparisons may not be indicative of future performance. Revenue from the sale of our products is generally recognized when the earnings process is complete, upon shipment or customer acceptance. Revenue from contracts relating to the design, development or manufacturing of complex electronic equipment to a buyers specification or to provide services relating to the performance of such contracts is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue from contracts that contain multiple elements that are not accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method are accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables. Revenue from these contracts is allocated to each respective element based on each elements relative fair value and is recognized when the respective revenue recognition criteria for each element are met. Our contract with the United States (U.S.) Army for the Movement Tracking System (MTS) is for an eight-year period ending in July 2007 and revenue recognition is based on the percentage-of-completion method. The gross margin is based on the estimated sales and expenses for the entire eight-year contract. The amount of revenue recognized has been limited to the amount of funded orders received from the U.S. Army. We recognize service time revenue based on a network availability method which recognizes prepaid service time on a straight-line basis from the date of shipment through the end of the contract term in July 2007. |
20 |
In August 2006, we acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Insite Consulting, Inc. (Insite), a logistics application software company, for $3.2 million, including transaction costs of $0.3 million, plus certain earn-out payments based on the achievement of future sales targets. The first part of the earn-out cannot exceed $1.4 million 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 would not have been material to our results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2005 and were not material for the three months ended October 31, 2006. This operation was combined with our existing business and is part of the mobile data communications segment. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES We consider certain accounting policies to be critical due to the estimation process involved in each. Revenue Recognition on Long-Term Contracts. Revenues and related costs from long-term contracts relating to the design, development or manufacturing of complex electronic equipment to a buyers specification or to provide services relating to the performance of such contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of total costs incurred to total projected costs, or, alternatively, based on output measures, such as units delivered. Profits expected to be realized on such contracts are based on total estimated sales for the contract compared to total estimated costs, including warranty costs, at completion of the contract. These estimates are reviewed and revised periodically throughout the lives of the contracts, and adjustments to profits resulting from such revisions are made cumulative to the date of the change. The impact of any such adjustments discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations represents the cumulative impact of the adjustment on the relevant financial statement amount as of the beginning of the period being discussed. Estimated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in the period in which the losses become evident. Some of our largest contracts, including our MTS contract with the U.S. Army, are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. We have been engaged in the production and delivery of goods and services on a continual basis under contractual arrangements for many years. Historically, we have demonstrated an ability to accurately estimate revenues and expenses relating to our long-term contracts. However, there exist inherent risks and uncertainties in estimating revenues, expenses and progress toward completion, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. If we do not accurately estimate the total sales, related costs and progress towards completion on such contracts, the estimated gross margins may be significantly impacted or losses may need to be recognized in future periods. Any such resulting changes in margins or contract losses could be material to our results of operations and financial position. In addition, most government contracts have termination for convenience clauses that provide the customer with the right to terminate the contract at any time. Such terminations could impact the assumptions regarding total contract revenues and expenses utilized in recognizing profit under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Changes to these assumptions could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Historically, we have not experienced material terminations of our long-term contracts. We also address customer acceptance provisions in assessing our ability to perform our contractual obligations under long-term contracts. Our inability to perform on our long-term contracts could materially impact our results of operations and financial position. Historically, we have been able to perform on our long-term contracts. Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As discussed further in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note (3) Stock-Based Compensation, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R) on August 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. We have used and expect to continue to use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to compute the estimated fair value of stock-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected option term and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in computing the fair value of stock-based awards reflect our best estimates, but involve uncertainties relating to market and other conditions, many of which are outside of our control. We estimate expected volatility by considering the historical volatility of our stock, the implied volatility of publicly traded stock options in our stock and our expectations of volatility for the expected term of stock-based compensation awards. As a result, if other assumptions or estimates had been used for options granted to date, the |
21 |
stock-based compensation expense that was recorded for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 could have been materially different. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in the future. Impairment of Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. As of October 31, 2006, our goodwill and other intangible assets, aggregated $31.3 million. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and other intangibles, we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the respective assets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges for these assets in future periods. Any such resulting impairment charges could be material to our results of operations. Provision for Warranty Obligations. We provide warranty coverage for most of our products, including products under long-term contracts, for a period of at least one year from the date of shipment. We record a liability for estimated warranty expense based on historical claims, product failure rates and other factors. There exist inherent risks and uncertainties in estimating warranty expenses, particularly on larger or longer-term contracts. As such, if we do not accurately estimate our warranty costs, any changes to our original estimates could be material to our results of operations and financial position. Accounting for Income Taxes. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, applying enacted tax rates expected to be in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The provision for income taxes is based on domestic and international statutory income tax rates in the tax jurisdictions where we operate, permanent differences between financial reporting and tax reporting and available credits and incentives. Significant judgment is required in determining income tax provisions and tax positions. We may be challenged upon review by the applicable taxing authority and positions taken by us may not be sustained. We provide tax reserves for tax exposures relating to periods subject to audit. The development of reserves for these exposures requires consideration of timing and judgments about tax issues and potential outcomes, and is a subjective critical estimate. In certain circumstances, the ultimate outcome of exposures and risks involves significant uncertainties. If actual outcomes differ materially from these estimates, they could have a material impact on our results of operations and our financial position. Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory. We record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and future usage trends. Several factors may influence the sale and use of our inventories, including decisions to exit a product line, technological change and new product development. These factors could result in a change in the amount of excess and obsolete inventory on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if we determine that our inventory was overvalued, we would be required to recognize such costs in our financial statements at the time of such determination. Any such charges could be material to our results of operations and financial position. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We perform credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon customer payment history and current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of our customers current credit information. Generally, we will require cash in advance or payment secured by irrevocable letters of credit before an order is accepted from an international customer that we do not do business with regularly. In addition, we seek to obtain insurance for certain international customers. We monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon our historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. While such credit losses have historically been within our expectations and the allowances established, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to experience the same credit loss rates that we have in the past. Measurement of such losses requires consideration of historical loss experience, including the need to adjust for current conditions, and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present economic conditions such as delinquency rates and the financial health of specific customers. Changes to the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts could be material to our results of operations and financial position. COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 31, 2006 AND OCTOBER 31, 2005 Net Sales. Consolidated net sales were $97.1 million and $106.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing a decrease of $9.5 million, or 8.9%. The decrease in net sales reflects growth in the telecommunications transmission segment offset by lower sales, as anticipated, in the mobile data communications and RF microwave amplifiers segments. |
22 |
Net sales in our telecommunications transmission segment were $52.0 million and $50.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, an increase of $1.1 million, or 2.2%. Sales in this segment reflect continued strong demand for our satellite earth station products, offset by lower sales, as anticipated, of over-the-horizon microwave systems, both direct and indirect, to a North African country who we believe is in between major phases of a large program. We anticipate average quarterly sales of our over-the-horizon microwave systems products to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2007 as we expect to begin large deliveries of our 16 Mbps troposcatter modem upgrade kits for use on the U.S. Department of Defenses (DoD) AN/TRC-170 digital troposcatter terminals. Sales in the over-the-horizon microwave systems product line can fluctuate dramatically from period to period based on the receipt of large contracts and our performance thereon. Our telecommunications transmission segment represented 53.6% and 47.7% of consolidated net sales for three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net sales in our mobile data communications segment were $35.7 million and $39.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 9.4%. The decrease in net sales was due to the impact of our decision, made in fiscal 2006, to significantly de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. Net sales during the three months ended October 31, 2006 were positively impacted by $1.2 million relating to the MTS gross profit adjustment discussed below. We expect average quarterly sales in our mobile data communications segment to increase for the remainder of fiscal 2007 due to deliveries on actual and anticipated new orders from the U.S. Army and Army National Guard for ongoing support of MTS program activities. Quarterly sales and profitability in our mobile data communications segment can fluctuate dramatically due to quarterly government funding fluctuations. In addition, if the MTS contract, which expires in July 2007, is not renewed, extended or if we fail to succeed in a recompete process, it would have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Our mobile data communications segment represented 36.7% and 37.0% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net sales in our RF microwave amplifiers segment were $9.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006, compared to $16.3 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005, a decrease of $6.9 million, or 42.3%. The decrease in net sales was due to lower sales, as anticipated, of our amplifiers that are incorporated into improvised explosive device jamming systems. Our RF microwave amplifiers segment represented 9.7% and 15.3% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. International sales (which include sales to U.S. companies for inclusion in products which are sold to international customers) represented 29.4% and 38.9% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Domestic commercial sales represented 14.3% and 13.7% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to the U.S. government (including sales to prime contractors to the U.S. government) represented 56.3% and 47.4% of consolidated net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, one customer, a prime contractor, represented 6.4% and 12.5% of consolidated net sales. Direct and indirect sales to a North African country (including certain sales to the prime contractor mentioned above) during the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 represented 3.7% and 15.3% of consolidated net sales, respectively. Gross Profit. Gross profit was $39.4 million and $40.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing a decrease of $0.8 million, or 2.0%. The decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to the decrease in net sales discussed above, partially offset by an increase in the gross profit percentage to 40.6% for the three months ended October 31, 2006 from 37.7% for the three months ended October 31, 2005. Excluding the impact of favorable cumulative gross profit adjustments in both periods, our gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 would have been 39.9% and 37.2%, respectively. The increase in the gross profit percentage noted above was primarily due to: (i) a higher proportion of our consolidated net sales occurring in our telecommunications transmission segment, which typically realizes higher margins than our other two segments, (ii) increased operating efficiencies in our mobile data communications segment, including the benefit of our decision to significantly de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions to further focus our efforts on selling commercial satellite-based mobile data applications, and (iii) the reduction in our estimated reserve for warranty obligations by $0.5 million due to lower than anticipated claims received to date on a large over-the-horizon microwave system contract whose warranty period is nearing expiration. As discussed in our Critical Accounting Policies Provision for Warranty Obligations, we periodically review and update our estimate of future warranty expense. |
23 |
During the three months ended October 31, 2006, we recorded a favorable cumulative gross profit adjustment of $1.1 million in our mobile data communications segment primarily as a result of our ongoing review of total estimated contract revenues and costs, and the related gross profit at completion, on the MTS contract. We continue to rollout our next generation satellite transceiver, known as the MT 2012, and enhance our network and related software to provide increased speed and performance. We are working closely with our customers and currently expect to continue these initiatives. If the current funding levels of MTS and battlefield command and control applications are maintained or increased, or if and when we receive additional orders from the Army National Guard, we may experience additional increased operating efficiencies in fiscal 2007. Unrelated to the next generation MTS technology upgrade, we are also continuing to upgrade certain of our firmware that needs to be modified. The ultimate amount of warranty expense relating to this firmware upgrade could differ from our initial estimate and we may incur additional unanticipated costs or delays. During the three months ended October 31, 2005, we increased the estimated gross profit at completion on certain contracts in the RF microwave amplifiers segment. These adjustments resulted in an aggregate $0.5 million cumulative increase to gross profit recognized on these contracts in prior years. Included in cost of sales for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 are provisions for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As discussed in our Critical Accounting Policies Provisions for Excess and Obsolete Inventory, we regularly review our inventory and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based on historical and projected usage assumptions. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.6 million and $16.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, representing an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.8%. The increase in expenses was primarily attributable to higher payroll-related expenses (including increased amortization of stock-based compensation expense) recorded in the three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2005, offset in part by lower expenses in our mobile data communications segment as we continue to de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. The increase in payroll-related expenses is due, in part, to the increased headcount associated with the anticipated increase in sales for fiscal 2007 compared to fiscal 2006. Amortization of stock-based compensation expense recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $1.4 million from $1.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 17.1% and 15.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses were $7.2 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Approximately $4.9 million and $5.1 million of such amounts, respectively, related to our telecommunications transmission segment, with the remaining expenses primarily related to our mobile data communications segment and, to a lesser extent, our RF microwave amplifiers segment. As an investment for the future, we are continually enhancing our existing products and developing new products and technologies. Whenever possible, we seek customer funding for research and development to adapt our products to specialized customer requirements. During the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, customers reimbursed us $1.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which is not reflected in the reported research and development expenses, but is included in consolidated net sales with the related costs included in cost of sales. Amortization of stock-based compensation recorded as research and development expenses increased to $0.2 million from $0.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As a percentage of consolidated net sales, research and development expenses were 7.4% and 6.3% for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles for both the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was $0.6 million. The amortization primarily relates to intangibles with finite lives that we acquired in connection with various acquisitions (including our acquisition of Insite). Operating Income. Operating income for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 was $15.0 million and $16.8 million, respectively. The $1.8 million, or 10.7% decrease, was primarily the result of lower sales and increased operating expenses (including research and development), partially offset by a higher gross profit percentage, as discussed above. |
24 |
Operating income in our telecommunications transmission segment increased to $12.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 from $12.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005 as a result of increased net sales, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Our mobile data communications segment generated operating income of $6.1 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005. The increase in operating income was due to operating efficiencies achieved, including the benefit of lower operating expenses as we continue to de-emphasize stand-alone sales of low margin turnkey employee mobility solutions. As discussed above under Gross Profit, included in the three months ended October 31, 2006, is a cumulative adjustment related to our MTS contract with the U.S. Army which favorably impacted operating income by $1.0 million. Operating income in our RF microwave amplifier segment decreased to $0.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 from $4.2 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005, due primarily to lower net sales during the three months ended October 31, 2006. As discussed above under Gross Profit, included in the three months ended October 31, 2005, is a cumulative adjustment relating to certain contracts which favorably impacted operating income by $0.5 million. Unallocated operating expenses increased to $4.9 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 from $3.8 million for the three months ended October 31, 2005 due primarily to higher payroll-related expenses (including increased amortization of stock-based compensation expense). Amortization of stock-based compensation expense increased to $1.8 million from $1.3 million, for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.7 million for both the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. Interest expense primarily represents interest associated with our 2.0% convertible senior notes issued in January 2004. Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $3.2 million, as compared to $1.8 million for three months ended October 31, 2005. The $1.4 million increase was due primarily to an increase in interest rates and additional investable cash since October 31, 2005. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $6.6 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our effective tax rate was 38.0% and 36.0% for the three months ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the expiration, in December 2005, of the Federal research and experimentation credit and the scheduled phase-out of the extraterritorial income exclusion in December 2006. The U.S. Congress continues to discuss legislation relating to the Federal research and experimentation credit. Until final legislation is signed into law, we currently expect our effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 to approximate 38.0%. In addition, at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 5, 2006, our stockholders will consider a proposal to amend our 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan) intended to permit us to claim tax deductions for cash incentive awards earned and paid under the Plan without limitation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the amendment is approved by our stockholders and we pay cash incentive awards under the Plan, our effective tax rate for fiscal 2007 could be lower. In fiscal 2006, we were informed by the Internal Revenue Service that our Federal income tax return for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2004 was selected for audit. The audit is ongoing and additional income tax returns for other fiscal years may be examined. If the outcome of the audit differs materially from our original income tax provisions, it could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial position. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents decreased to $245.6 million at October 31, 2006 from $251.6 million at July 31, 2006. Net cash used in operating activities was $3.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006. Such amount reflects net income of $10.8 million, the impact of depreciation and amortization and the provisions for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves aggregating $3.1 million and amortization of stock-based compensation expense of $1.8 million, offset by changes in working capital balances, most notably an increase in inventory that we currently anticipate to be delivered to our customers (primarily the U.S. government) throughout fiscal 2007, as well as the timing of payments for accounts payable and certain accrued expenses during the three months ended October 31, 2006. |
25 |
Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended October 31, 2006 was $5.0 million, of which $2.8 million was for purchases of property, plant and equipment including expenditures related to the continued expansion of our high-volume technology manufacturing center located in Tempe, Arizona and the continued enhancement of our network operations facility in Germantown, Maryland. During the three months ended October 31, 2006, we also made payments of $2.2 million in connection with the Insite acquisition. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.6 million for the three months ended October 31, 2006, due primarily to proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchase plan shares aggregating $2.3 million and a $0.3 million excess tax benefit from the exercise of stock options. FINANCING ARRANGEMENT On January 27, 2004, we issued $105.0 million of our 2.0% convertible senior notes in a private offering pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The net proceeds from this transaction were $101.2 million after deducting the initial purchasers discount and other transaction costs. For further information concerning this financing, see Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note (9) 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes. COMMITMENTS In the normal course of business, we routinely enter into binding and non-binding purchase obligations primarily covering anticipated purchases of inventory and equipment. We do not expect that these commitments as of October 31, 2006 will materially adversely affect our liquidity. At October 31, 2006, we had contractual cash obligations to repay our 2.0% convertible senior notes, capital lease and operating lease obligations (including satellite lease expenditures relating to our mobile data communications segment contracts) and the financing of a purchase of proprietary technology. Payments due under these long-term obligations, excluding interest on the 2% convertible senior notes, are as follows: |

As further discussed in Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note (9) 2.0% Convertible Senior Notes, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the notes on or after February 4, 2009.
Holders of our 2% convertible senior notes will have the right to require us to repurchase some or all of
the outstanding notes on February 1, 2011, February 1, 2014 and February 1, 2019 and upon certain events. |
We have entered into standby letter of credit agreements with financial institutions relating to the
guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. At October 31, 2006, the balance of these
agreements was $2.8 million. Cash we have pledged against such agreements aggregating $1.0 million
has been classified as restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheet as of October 31, 2006. |
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our operating cash requirements for the foreseeable future. In the event that we identify a significant acquisition that requires additional cash, we would seek to borrow funds or raise additional equity capital. |

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk |
Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates primarily from our investment of available cash balances. Under our current policies, we do not use interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate changes. If the interest rate we receive on our investment of available cash balances were to change by 10%, our annual interest income would be impacted by approximately $1.2 million. Our 2.0% convertible senior notes bear a fixed rate of interest. As such, our earnings and cash flows are not sensitive to changes in interest rates on our long-term debt. As of October 31, 2006, we estimate the fair market value of our 2.0% convertible senior notes to be $130.1 million based on recent trading activity. |
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures was carried out by the Company under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures have been designed and are being operated in a manner that provides reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. A system of controls, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the system of controls are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. There have been no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1. | Legal Proceedings |
See Note (14) of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for information regarding legal proceedings. |
Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Companys Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2006, except as discussed below. |
We could be adversely affected if KPMG LLP (KPMG), our independent registered public accounting firm, is not deemed independent with respect to our financial statements. On November 30, 2006, KPMG, our independent registered public accounting firm, advised us that it believed that one of its staff accountants who worked on the engagement to audit our financial statements made an investment in our common stock. On December 16, 2006, both KPMG and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors separately concluded that KPMGs independence has not been compromised. The Company and KPMG have reported their conclusions regarding this matter to the SEC. If the SEC or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ultimately determines that KPMG is not independent with respect to us, we would incur significant additional costs associated with changing independent registered public accounting firms (including the re-auditing and re-reviewing of previously issued financial statements). In addition, certain of our earlier filings with the SEC would not be in compliance with Rule 10-01(d) and other rules and regulations of the SEC and those filings would need to be amended. As a result, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company and on the market price of our stock. |
