Highlight of Business Operations:

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $3,571,000, which represents a decrease of $82,000, or 2.2%, from general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $3,653,000. This decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to (i) $233,000 of decreased employee-related expenses and (ii) $74,000 of decreased professional services fees. These decreases in general and administrative expenses were partly offset by (i) $183,000 of increased general and administrative expenses at our offshore manufacturing facilities and (ii) $47,000 of increased travel expense.

General and Administrative. Our general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2010 were $7,595,000, which represents an increase of $1,430,000, or 23.2%, from general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2009 of $6,165,000. This increase in general and administrative expenses during the six months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to a loss of $332,000 recorded due to the changes in the fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, compared to a gain of $1,103,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2009.

Interest Expense, Net. Our interest expense, net of interest income of $23,000, for the six months ended September 30, 2010 was $3,303,000. This represents an increase of $1,333,000, or 67.7%, over interest expense of $1,970,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2009. This increase was primarily attributable to a higher balance of receivables being discounted under the receivable discount programs during the six months ended September 30, 2010 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2009. This increase in net interest expense was partly offset by a decrease in interest expense incurred on our Revolving Loan and capital lease obligations.

At September 30, 2010, we had working capital of $1,337,000, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1:1, and cash of $5,815,000, compared to working capital of $3,399,000, a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 1.1:1, and cash of $1,210,000 at March 31, 2010. The decrease in working capital from March 31, 2010 primarily resulted from a decrease in our non-core inventory levels, which was due primarily to higher sales, and a decrease in our accounts receivable balance due primarily to a higher balance of receivables being discounted under the receivable discount programs, which allowed us to pay down our accounts payable balances.

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,712,000 and $2,936,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities primarily resulted from the payment of the purchase price holdback of $464,000 in connection with our May 2008 acquisition compared to the payment of $2,489,000 during the six months ended September 30, 2009 for our acquisitions. This decrease in net cash used in investing activities was partly offset by the secured loan made to Fenwick in August 2010. Capital expenditures for the six months ended September 30, 2010 primarily related to the purchase of equipment for our manufacturing facilities and improvements to our California facility compared to purchases in the same period of the prior year primarily related to purchases of equipment for our manufacturing facilities.

In October 2009, we entered into a revolving credit and term loan agreement (the Credit Agreement) with our bank and one additional lender (the Lenders), which permits us to borrow up to $45,000,000 (the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility is comprised of (i) a revolving facility with a $7,000,000 letter of credit sub-facility and (ii) a term loan. We may borrow on a revolving basis up to an amount equal to $35,000,000 minus all outstanding letter of credit obligations minus a borrowing reserve of $7,500,000 (the Revolving Loan). The borrowing reserve remains in effect only if we are party to a receivable discount program pursuant to which our accounts receivable owed to us by our largest customer are being discounted. The term loan is in the principal amount of $10,000,000 (the Term Loan).
