Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. as of June 30, 2012, the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, and statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2012 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition – Percentage-of-Completion – ITATS (“Intermediate Level TACAN Test Set”) (AN/ARM-206)

Due to the unique nature of the ITATS program, wherein a significant portion of this contract will not be delivered for over a year, revenues under this contract are recognized on a percentage-of-completion basis, which recognizes sales and profit as they are earned, rather than at the time of shipment. Revenues and profits are estimated using the cost-to-cost method of accounting where revenues are recognized and profits recorded based upon the ratio of costs incurred to estimate of total costs at completion. The ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimate of total costs at completion is applied to the contract value to determine the revenues and profits. When adjustments in estimated contract revenues or estimated costs at completion are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized by recording adjustments in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of the changes on current and prior periods. The Company also receives progress billings on this program, which is a funding mechanism by the government to assist contractors on long-term contracts prior to delivery. These progress payments are applied to Unbilled Government Receivables resulting from revenues recognized under percentage-of-completion accounting. There have been no progress billings or revenues recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

In July 2011, the Company secured a $599,000 contract modification from the U.S. Navy to incorporate product enhancements to the ITATS AN/ARM-206 TACAN test set resulting from U.S. Navy technical evaluation testing. The AN/ARM-206 ITATS program is proceeding well with the enhancements funded by the U.S. Navy last year now substantially complete and the platform verification substantially completed by the U.S. Navy. TIC is in the process of performing final bench level verification testing on these units and expects to secure a production release on the 102 unit U.S. Navy production delivery order. It is expected that this product will enter full rate production this calendar year.

The Company’s basic income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss) for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is based on net income (loss), divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including common share equivalents, such as outstanding stock options. Diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 do not include common stock equivalents, as these stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Note 6 – Long-Term Debt

In September 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with BCA Mezzanine Fund LLP (“BCA”) to loan the Company $2,500,000 in the form of a Promissory Note (“the “Note”). The Company incurred expenses of $541,604 in connection with this loan, including legal fees, investment banking fees and other transaction fees. These expenses are included as deferred debt expense in the accompanying balance sheet, and these expenses are amortized over the term of the loan.

The features of the note are as follows:

(1)

The Note has a term of five (5) years with an annual interest rate of 14% on the outstanding principal amount. Payments for the first year were interest only and amounted to $28,762 monthly. In September 2011, the Company began making monthly payments of approximately $69,000 for interest and principal for the remaining term of the loan.

(2)

The Company issued BCA a nine-year warrant for 136,090 shares, based upon 4.5% of the fully-diluted outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $6.70 per share, the average closing price of the common stock over the three days preceding the loan closing on the NYSE-Mkt Exchange. In the event of specific major corporate events or the maturity of the five-year loan, BCA can require the Company to purchase the warrant and warrant shares at the higher of the then Exchange market price less the share exercise price, in the case of the purchase of the warrant, or five times operating income per share. In connection with the warrant issued in conjunction with this debt, the Company recorded a debt discount and warrant liability, which is being marked to fair value at the end of each period (see Note 10 to Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The debt discount is to be amortized over the life of the loan.

(3)	Loan provisions also contain customary representations and warranties.

(4)	BCA has a lien on all of the Company’s assets. In February 2011, BCA agreed to release part of its lien on Company assets to the U.S. Government to allow for progress billings up to $1,000,000.

(5)

The Company may prepay a portion of the principal amount provided that (i) any such prepayment shall be applied in the inverse order of the maturity of the principal amount of the Note, (ii) the Company shall pay to BCA an additional amount equal to (A) 3% of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid if such prepayment is made during the first loan year, and (B) 2% of the outstanding principal amount then being prepaid if such prepayment is being made during the second loan year. Each payment must be not less than $25,000 or multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof.

(6)

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Agreement) or within five (5) Business Days of an O’Hara Life Insurance Realization Event (as defined in the Agreement), the Company shall, in each case at the election of BCA, prepay by wire transfer the entire outstanding principal amount of the Note in accordance with the redemption prices (the “Mandatory Redemption Prices”) set forth below (expressed as a percentage of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid and shall pay 103% in the first year of the loan, 102% in the second year of the loan, and 100% thereafter), together with (x) Interest, if any, accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal amount of the Note so prepaid through the date of such prepayment, (y) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel), if any, associated with such prepayment, and (z) all other costs, expenses and indemnities then payable under this Agreement (such amounts, collectively the “Mandatory Redemption Payment”). If a Change of Control or O’Hara Life Insurance Realization Event shall occur during any Loan Year set forth below, the Mandatory Redemption Price shall be determined based upon the percentage indicated above for such Loan Year multiplied by the principal amount which is being prepaid. At the election of BCA, all or any portion of the Mandatory Redemption Payment may be paid in the form of common stock of the Company in marketable condition in lieu of cash and to the extent available and to the extent not restricted by any SBIC Regulations. In the event BCA makes the election contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall issue to BCA that number of shares having an aggregate Current Market Price as of such issuance date equal to that portion of the Mandatory Redemption Payment subject to such election.

(7)

The Note contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants which restrict our operations. The BCA agreement contains a number of affirmative and negative covenants. For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, the Company was not in compliance with four covenants related to maintaining agreed upon financial ratios for fixed charges, leverage and debt service as well as a requirement for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). However, the Company received a waiver from BCA on each of the above mentioned covenants.

(8)	The Company and BCA have amended certain provisions to ease some restrictions.

Note 7 – Stock Options

The Company adopted FASB ASC 718, utilizing the modified prospective method. FASB ASC 718 requires the measurement of stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. Under the modified prospective method, the provisions of ASC 718 apply to all awards granted after the date of adoption. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four years. As a result of adopting ASC 718, operations was charged $22,277 and $24,231 for three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company estimates the fair value of each option using the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company did not grant any options during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Note 8 – Segment Information

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related information”, the Company determined it has two reportable segments - avionics government and avionics commercial. There are no inter-segment revenues.

The Company is organized primarily on the basis of its avionics products. The avionics government segment consists primarily of the design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments and militaries either directly or through distributors. The avionics commercial segment consists of design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to domestic and foreign airlines, directly or through commercial distributors, and to general aviation repair and maintenance shops. The Company develops and designs test equipment for the avionics industry and as such, the Company’s products and designs cross segments.

Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on gross margin. The Company’s general and administrative costs and sales and marketing expenses, and engineering costs are not segment specific. As a result, all operating expenses are not managed on a segment basis. Net interest includes expenses on debt and income earned on cash balances, both maintained at the corporate level.

The table below presents information about reportable segments within the avionics business for the periods ending June 30, 2012 and 2011:

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The Company adopted FASB ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, effective April 1, 2007. ASC 740-10 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, asset reserves and accrued liabilities, gave rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset in the accompanying June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse (See Critical Accounting Policies – Income Taxes).

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

As defined in ASC 820-10, fair value is 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 (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy defined by ASC 820-10 are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. Level 1 primarily consists of financial instruments such as exchange-traded derivatives, marketable securities and listed equities.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors, and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Instruments in this category generally include non-exchange-traded derivatives such as commodity swaps, interest rate swaps, options and collars.

·	Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

·	Market approach — Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.

·	Income approach — Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts, including present value techniques, option-pricing models and excess earnings method.

·	Cost approach — Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).

The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings is a reasonable estimate of its fair value as borrowings under the Company’s credit facility reflect currently available terms and conditions for similar debt.

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012. As required by FASB ASC 820-10, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

June 30, 2012	Level I		Level II		Level III		Total
Total Assets	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Warrant liability		-		-		105,896		105,896
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	105,896	$	105,896

March 31, 2012	Level I		Level II		Level III		Total
Total Assets	$	-	$	-	$	-	$	-

Warrant liability		-		-		355,290		355,290
Total Liabilities	$	-	$	-	$	355,290	$	355,290

The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 815, which requires that we mark the value of our warrant liability (see Note 6) to market and recognize the change in valuation in our statement of operations each reporting period. Determining the warrant liability to be recorded requires us to develop estimates to be used in calculating the fair value of the warrant. The fair value of the warrant is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model.

The common stock warrant was not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign corporation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and, as such, all changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized as other income/expense in the statement of operations until such time as the warrants are exercised or expire. Since these common stock warrants do not trade in an active securities market, the Company recognizes a warrant liability and estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes options model using the following assumptions:

	At Inception			March 31, 2012			June 30, 2012

Risk free interest rate		2.81	%		2.23	%		1.67	%
Expected life in years		9.00			7.45			7.20
Expected volatility		28.51	%		53.19	%		41.45	%
Fair market value per share	$	6.70		$	6.33		$	3.68
Exercise price	$	6.70		$	6.70		$	6.70
Warrant Liability	$	281,656		$	355,290		$	105,896

The volatility calculation was based on the 30 months for the Company’s stock price prior to the measurement date, utilizing January 1, 2010 as the initial period, as the Company believes that this is the best indicator of future performance, and the source of the risk free interest rate is the US Treasury rate related to 10 year notes. The exercise price is per the agreement, the fair market value is the closing price of our stock on the date of measurement, and the expected life is based on management’s current estimate of when the warrants will be exercised. All inputs to the Black-Scholes options model are evaluated each reporting period.

Certain prior year and period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 12 – Litigation

On March 24, 2009, Aeroflex Wichita, Inc. (“Aeroflex”) filed a petition against the Company and two of its employees in the District Court, Sedgwick County, Kansas, Case No. 09 CV 1141 (the “Aeroflex Action”), alleging that the Company and its two employees misappropriated Aeroflex’s proprietary technology in connection with the Company winning a substantial contract from the U.S. Army (the “Award”), to develop new Mode-5 radar test sets and kits to upgrade the existing TS-4530 radar test sets to Mode 5. Aeroflex’s petition alleges that in connection with the Award, the Company and its named employees misappropriated Aeroflex’s trade secrets; tortiously interfered with its business relationship; conspired to harm Aeroflex and tortiously interfered with its contract and seeks injunctive relief and damages. The central basis of all the claims in the Aeroflex Action is that the Company misappropriated and used Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award. In February 2009, subsequent to the Award to the Company, Aeroflex filed a protest of the Award with the Government Accounting Office (“GAO”). In its protest, Aeroflex alleged, inter alia, that the Company used Aeroflex’s proprietary technology in order to win the Award, the same material allegations as were later alleged in the Aeroflex Action. On or about March 17, 2009, the Army Contracts Attorney and the Army Contracting Officer each filed a statement with the GAO, expressly rejecting Aeroflex’s allegations that the Company used or infringed Aeroflex proprietary technology in winning the Award, and concluding that the Company had used only its own proprietary technology. On April 6, 2009, Aeroflex withdrew its protest.

In December 2009, the Kansas court dismissed the Aeroflex civil suit against the Company. While this decision was based on jurisdictional issues, the ruling did note that Aeroflex, after discovery proceedings, did not provide any evidence that Tel or its employees misappropriated Aeroflex trade secrets. The Kansas ruling also referenced the Army’s findings, in its response to the General Accountability Office (“GAO”), which rejected Aeroflex’s claims and determined that Tel used its own proprietary technology on this program. Aeroflex has elected to appeal this Kansas decision and has agreed to stay any action against the two former employees until a decision is reached. The appeal was argued in the Kansas Supreme Court in January 2011.

In May 2012, the Kansas Supreme Court reversed the decision of the lower court only as regards to jurisdiction. Tel continues to remain confident as to the outcome of this litigation.

Note 13 – Restatement

The state and local deferred tax provision was increased for the year ended March 31, 2012 as a result of a change in New Jersey tax law which, in substance, lowered the New Jersey tax rate, which resulted in lowering the carrying value of the New Jersey net deferred tax assets and net income by $394,604 and $256,644, respectively. The New Jersey tax law change was effective for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, ending June 30, 2011. As such, the accompanying statement of operations has been restated to reflect the adjustment to net income in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. This change has also been reported in the Company’s report on Form 8-K filed on July 13, 2012. The Company did not lose any future benefit, and the result is such that the Company will have lower NJ tax expense in the future.

Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, there have been no significant accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that have become effective that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.

Note 15 – Subsequent Event

On July 26, 2012 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with a private investor. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued (i) a senior secured promissory note in favor of the Private Investor in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000, approximately $481,000 net of expenses, accruing interest at a rate of 14% per annum and (ii) a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share. The Note, together with all unpaid interest and principal is due on March 31, 2013. The Common Stock underlying the Warrant is exercisable at a price of $3.35 per share and the Warrant expires on September 10, 2019. In conjunction with the Purchase Agreement the Company entered into an (i) Investor Rights Agreement, (ii) Securities Agreement, (iii) Intercreditor Agreement and (iv) Subordination Agreement. The Company reported the foregoing on its Current Report on Form 8-K on August 3, 2012.

On August 15, 2012, the Company received approval for a $990,000 progress payment invoice related to the CRAFT program. It is expected that the funding will be received within the following 2 weeks.

Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC contain or may contain forward-looking statements (collectively the “Filings”) and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “future”, “intend”, “plan”, or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors, including the risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on July 16, 2012 relating to the Company’s industry, the Company’s operations and results of operations, and any businesses that the Company may acquire. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Overview

As previously reported, TIC has recorded sharply reduced revenues and a significant loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 ended June 30, 2012 due mainly to a temporary hold in CRAFT 708 production shipments to correct issues discovered in prior CRAFT 719 deliveries and to incorporate the final AIMS approved software configuration which includes several product enhancements. TIC also continues to experience delays in securing a production release on the TS-4530A program from the Army. The Company is working closely with the Navy and the Army to secure production releases on the CRAFT and TS-4530A programs and is optimistic that this will occur within the short-term.

With the delays on the CRAFT and TS-4530A production in the current quarter ending June 30, 2012, TIC’s cash flow has been negatively impacted. As such, the Company secured additional short-term financing and a progress payment from the government on the CRAFT program. Based on expected production releases, the Company believes that it will have adequate liquidity, and backlog to fund operating plans for at least the next twelve months. Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements.

If the Company is unable to obtain production releases with a reasonable period of time and/or our vendors begin to pursue legal action demanding payments, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and its ability to pay its obligations. As such, the Company may need to pursue additional sources of financing and/or additional progress payments.

Overview (continued)

CRAFT “Communications/Navigation (COMM/NAV) Radio Frequency (RF) Avionics Flight line Tester”) (AN/USM-708 and AN/USM-719) with the U.S. Navy

In March 2012, the U.S. Navy placed a temporary hold on CRAFT 708 production shipments to correct issues discovered in prior CRAFT 719 deliveries and incorporate the final AIMS approved software configuration which includes several product enhancements. The U.S. Navy requested that the Company perform a Root Cause Analysis on the issues seen in the CRAFT 719 units. On June 14, 2012, the U.S. Navy, based upon observations at the Company’s facility, indicated that the Company’s Root Cause Analysis was adequate and that the Company has made progress in addressing the quality issues found in the production of the CRAFT units. As a result, the U.S. Navy granted the Company permission to resume limited production, a combination of new units and rework units. Once these units are completed, the U.S. Navy will assess these units and a determination will be made with respect to resumption of full rate production. Currently, a number of units have been reviewed by the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Navy has been satisfied with their operation. The Company expects to resume production in September 2012. The Company has approximately $12,400,000 in orders for this program.

The issues identified with the CRAFT units will require that all CRAFT 719 and CRAFT 708 units be updated with revised software and TIC will revalidate all of the 460 ship-in-place units at TIC before they are shipped to the customer. (These ship-in-place units had been built and paid for by the U.S. Navy but could not be shipped to the field due to regulatory restrictions.) TIC and the U.S. Navy have finalized the upgraded test procedure for these units. The test procedure needed to be upgraded to reflect the extensive changes to the units over the last few years. The U.S. Navy has also verified and approved these new test procedures and reviewed TIC’s quality assurance procedures. The U.S. Navy has also indicated that additional foreign military sales (“FMS”) are expected for the CRAFT product, and the Company is also actively quoting orders for other customers.

TS-4530 IFF test set with the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (continued)

The TS-4530A program has been essentially complete from a design standpoint. The Mode 5 conversion kits and new IFF test sets will incorporate Tel’s proprietary electronics and IFF technology in addition to Mode S Enhanced Surveillance (”EHS”) and Automatic Dependent Surveillance - Broadcast (“ADS-B”) test functionality. In August 2012 the U.S. Army completed its production assurance review. This production assurance review went very well, and represents an important event with respect to entering full rate production phase of this program. In September, this product is scheduled to undergo final regression testing by the Department of Defense (DoD) AIMS Program Office to approve its TS-4530A Flight Line Test Set authorizing its use for Mark XIIA IFF (“Identification Friend and Foe”), Mode S (ELS/EHS/ADS-B) and TCAS systems. Once approved, TIC and the U.S. Army will work together to secure timing on a full production release for this program. On August 14, 2012, the U.S. Army released an order for 30 TS-4530A low rate initial production (“LRIP”) Kits. The Company hopes to secure the production release early in the third quarter of the current fiscal year. The TS-4530A program is a critical program with almost $20,000,000 of booked production orders which will help drive TIC’s revenues growth and profitability.

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s backlog was approximately $38,900,000 as compared to approximately $48.,00,000 million at June 30, 2011.

Results of Operations

Sales

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, sales decreased $ 2,812,923 (70.5%) to $ 1,177,288, as compared to $ 3,990,211 for the same period in the prior year.

Avionics Government sales decreased $ 2,595,626 (82.5%) to $ 549,966 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $3,145,592 for the same period last year. This decrease in Avionics Government sales is due mainly to a temporary hold in CRAFT 708 production shipments to correct issues discovered in prior CRAFT 719 deliveries and incorporate the final AIMS approved software configuration which includes several product enhancements. TIC has also continues to experience delays in securing a production release on the TS-4530A program from the Army. The Company continues to work closely with the Navy and the Army to secure production releases on the CRAFT and TS-4530A programs and is optimistic that this will occur in the near term.

Commercial sales decreased $217,297 (25.7%) to $ 627,322 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $ 844,619 in the same period in the prior year. This decrease is due to lower sales of the TR-220 and from overhaul and repairs. This decrease is due to economic conditions in the commercial market which remains depressed.

Results of Operations (continued)

Gross Margin

Gross margin decreased $1,577,937 (84.8%) to $283,694 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $1,861,631 for the same three months in the prior fiscal year. Gross profit was affected by the lower sales volume due to the temporary hold in CRAFT 708 production shipments and the delay in securing a production release on the TS-4530A program. The gross margin percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2012, was 24.1%, as compared to 46.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Operating Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 144,934 (18.1%) to $653,888 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to $798,822 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is attributed mainly to lower marketing consulting, outside commissions, professional fees and no accrued bonus compensation expense for the period.

Engineering, research and development expenses decreased $270,434 (31.9%) to $578,604 for three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $849,038 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of a decrease in salaries and consulting fees as a result of the Company finalizing the engineering efforts on the CRAFT and TS-4530A programs.

Other Income (Expense), Net

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, total other income was $116,454, as compared to other expense of $11,633 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 the Company recorded a gain on valuation of the common stock warrants of $249,394 as compared to a loss of $168,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This was offset partially by the proceeds from a life insurance policy during the three months ended June 30, 2011 in the amount of $300,029.

Income (Loss) before Income Taxes

As a result of the above, the Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $832,344 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to income before taxes of $202,138 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $163,544 as compared to an income tax provision of $282,933 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. For the three months ended June 30, 2012 the amount represents the effective federal and state tax rate on the Company’s loss before taxes. The state and local deferred tax provision was increased for the year ended March 31, 2012 as a result of a change in New Jersey tax law which, in substance, lowered the New Jersey tax rate, which resulted in lowering the carrying value of the New Jersey net deferred tax assets and net income by $394,604 and $256,644, respectively. The New Jersey tax law change was effective for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, ending June 30, 2011. As such, the three months ended June 30, 2011 statement of operations included herein has been restated to reflect the adjustment to the income tax provision and net income. The change has also been reported on Form 8-K. The Company did not lose any future benefit, and the result is such that the Company will have lower NJ tax expense in the future.

Net Income (Loss)

As a result of the above, the Company recorded a net loss of $668,600 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, as compared to a net loss of $80,795 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2012, the Company had working capital of $3,487,331, as compared to $4,522,111 at March 31, 2012. This change is primarily the result of the reduction in accounts receivable as a result of the lower sales.

During the three months ended June 30 2012, the Company’s cash balances decreased by $246,521 to $166,674. The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds were as follows:

Cash provided by/used in operating activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company used $245,323 in cash for operations as compared to providing $308,329 in cash from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributed to the lower operating income and increase in inventories offset partially by the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Cash used in investing activities. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company used $648 of its cash for investing activities, as compared to $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Cash provided by financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $550, as compared to providing $283,039 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. This decrease was primarily the result of the proceeds from a life insurance policy that the Company received during the three months ended June 30, 2011 which did not occur this year.

On certain government contracts the Company has been granted progress payments from the government, which allows the Company to bill and collect a portion of its incurred costs on long-term programs before shipment of units, thus helping to fund the costs of these programs. In August 2012, the Company received approval for a $990,000 progress billing.

The Company believes that it has adequate liquidity, based on its backlog, to fund operating plans for at least the next twelve months. If the Company is unable to obtain production releases with a reasonable period of time and/or our vendors begin to pursue legal action demanding payments, it would result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and its ability to pay its obligations. As such, the Company may need to pursue additional sources of financing and/or additional progress payments.

There was no significant impact on the Company’s operations as a result of inflation for the three months ended June 30, 2012. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on July 16, 2012.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in our notes to the 2012 consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Principal Financial Officer (“PFO”), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide a reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Management designed the disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our PEO and PFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and PFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the fact that the Company did not maintain a sufficient level of resources related to tax accounting thus contributing to a material weakness in internal control. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, the Company re-evaluated certain accounting policies and procedures relating to taxes and determined that it had not properly accounted for a change in the New Jersey tax law N.J.S.A. 54:10A. Such change lowered the Company’s New Jersey tax rate, resulting in lowering the carrying value of the New Jersey net deferred tax assets and increasing the tax provision by $256,644. Such change should have been recorded during the period ended June 30, 2011. The change did not cause the Company to lose any future benefit, and the result is such that the Company will have lower New Jersey tax expenses in the future. Please see Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 13, 2012.

Notwithstanding the material weakness in accounting for income taxes, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements which are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 and their condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Material Weakness and Related Remediation Initiatives

Through the efforts of management, external consultants, and our Audit Committee, we are currently in the process of executing a plan of action to remediate the material weakness identified above. We expect to complete this action plan during fiscal year 2013.

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
