Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2005
(All amounts are unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Taitron Components Incorporated (the Company) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position and results of operations at and for the periods presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, and the notes thereto, which include significant accounting policies and estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. |
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principles of Consolidation |
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Revenue Recognition |
Revenue is typically recognized upon shipment of merchandise and sales are recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns. Reserves for sales allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical experience and managements estimates as shipments are made. Sales returns for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $44,000 and $5,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 aggregated $61,000 and $53,000, respectively. |
Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts |
On a case-by-case basis, the Company accepts returns of products from its customers, without restocking charges, when they can demonstrate an acceptable cause for the return. Requests by a distributor to return products purchased for its own inventory generally are not included under this policy. The Company will, on a case-by-case basis, accept returns of products upon payment of a restocking fee, which is generally 15% to 30% of the net sales price. The Company will not accept returns of any products that were special-ordered by a customer or that otherwise are not generally included in inventory. The allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at June 30, 2005 aggregated $64,000. |
Inventory |
Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) or estimated market value. Inventory is presented net of valuation allowances of $1,231,000 at June 30, 2005. |
Income Taxes |
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to |
Page 5 |
be realized. The Company has fully reserved against its deferred income tax assets, as management could not determine that it was more likely than not such assets would be realized. |
(Loss) Income Per Share |
Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Common equivalent shares for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005, of approximately 603,000, are excluded from the computation of diluted (loss) per share as their effect is anti-dilutive. |
Stock Option Plan |
The Company has adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation--Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 123 allows companies to choose whether to account for employee stock-based compensation on a fair value method, or to continue to account for stock-based compensation under the current intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company has elected to continue to follow the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 148 requires interim disclosures regarding the pro forma effects of compensation expense had stock options issued under the Companys 1995 Stock Incentive Plan been determined based on the fair value consistent with SFAS No. 123. |
Accordingly, under SFAS No. 123, the Companys net earnings (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below: |
Three Month Period Ended June 30, |
Six Month Period Ended June 30, |
|||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2005

Net (loss) income As reported | $(8,000 | ) | $24,000 | $(137,000 | ) | $ 34,000 | ||
Pro Forma | (2,000 | ) | 34,000 | (125,000 | ) | 54,000 | ||
Diluted (loss) income As reported | $ | $ 0.00 | $ (0.03 | ) | $ 0.01 | |||
per share Pro Forma | $ | $ 0.01 | $ (0.02 | ) | $ 0.01 |
The Companys 1995 Stock Incentive Plan expired by its terms in March 2005. Since no new grants can be awarded out of this plan, the total weighted average fair value of options granted for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 was $0. At June 30, 2005, the number of options exercisable was 618,000 and the weighted average exercise price of those options was $1.74. |
Reclassification |
Certain amounts in the 2004 condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2005 presentation. |
Use of Estimates |
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on the Companys valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |

Note 4 - Restricted Cash
On June 30, 2005, the Company had $1,000,000 of restricted cash invested in 1-year certificate of deposit maturing on July 9, 2005 held as security for our revolving line of credit facility providing up to $3 million for operating purposes. The agreement governing this credit facility contains security agreements covering essentially all assets of the Company and financial covenants requiring compliance with certain financial ratios. As of the date of this report, the Company has not yet used this credit facility. |
Note 5 - Subsequent Events
As of July 15, 2005, the Company completely repaid its note payable collateralized by real property and renewed its revolving line of credit facility provided up to $3 million for operating purposes with an expiration date of June 17, 2006. |
Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of this report as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. Also, several of the matters discussed in this document contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements usually are denoted by words or phrases such as believes, expects, projects, estimates, anticipates,will likely result or similar expressions. We wish to caution readers that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that actual results could vary due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Factors associated with the forward looking statements that could cause the forward looking statements to be inaccurate and could otherwise impact our future results are set forth in detail in our most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB. In addition to the other information contained in this document, readers should carefully consider the information contained in our most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB under the heading Cautionary Statements and Risk Factors.

Overview
We are a national distributor of electronic components, primarily focused on transistors, diodes and other discrete semiconductors, optoelectronic devices and passive components with a reputation of in-depth inventories and knowledge of the products we sell. Our customers consist of other electronic distributors, contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
We believe that demand for discrete semiconductors in the U.S. market had drastically declined since 2000. This declining demand has resulted from the accelerated trend of moving the production capacity of OEM/CEM customers abroad and the consolidation of CEM customers domestically. In response, we are refocusing our business strategy beyond the traditional role of electronic components fulfillment to the additional role of engineering and turn-key services for our existing OEM and CEM customers by outsourcing their product design and
Page 7 |
manufacturing work offshore. We formed some strategic business partnerships with a few customers and are providing them with original design and manufacturing (ODM) services for their multi-year turn-key projects. We expect to see some new opportunities and results from these additional services during 2005.
Our core strategy of electronic components fulfillment, however, consists of carrying a substantial quantity and variety of products in inventory to meet the rapid delivery requirements of our customers. This strategy allows us to fill customer orders immediately from stock on hand. Although we believe better market conditions may return, we are focused on lowering our inventory balances and increasing our cash holdings. Our long-term strategy is to rely not only on our core strategy of component fulfillment service, but also the value-added engineering and turn-key services. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, we classify inventory as a current asset. However, if all or a substantial portion of the inventory was required to be immediately liquidated, the inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included or classified as a current asset, such as cash. We cannot assure you that demand in the discrete semiconductor market will increase and that market conditions will improve. Therefore, it is possible that further declines in our carrying values of inventory may result.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use Of Estimates - Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on the Companys valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs. Reserves for sales allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical experience and our estimates of future returns. Sales returns for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 were $44,000 and $5,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 aggregated $61,000 and $53,000, respectively. The allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at June 30, 2005 aggregated $64,000.
Inventory - Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) or estimated market value. We had inventory balances in the amount of $17,478,000 at June 30, 2005, which is presented net of valuation allowances of $1,231,000. We evaluate inventories to identify excess, high-cost, slow-moving or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins. For inventories supplied under franchise agreements, we rely upon our contractual rights to receive compensation for price differences caused by market fluctuations. Due to the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing and maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the cost of inventories. Based on our assumptions about future demand and market conditions, inventories are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value. If our assumptions about future demand change, or market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from those estimated.
Impact of Governmental Regulation - Our worldwide operations are subject to local laws and regulations. As such, of particular interest is the European Union (EU) directive relating to the Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substance (RoHS). Effective July 1, 2006, this directive restricts the distribution of products within the EU containing certain substances, including lead. While the enabling legislation of a number of EU member countries has not yet been adopted, it is clear we will not be able to distribute non-RoHS compliant products to most customers who intend to sell their finished goods in the EU after the effective date. At the present time, much of our inventory contains substances prohibited by the RoHS directive. Further, many of our suppliers are not yet supplying RoHS compliant products. Upon effectiveness of the RoHS legislation, some of our inventory may become obsolete and unsaleable and, as a result, have to be written off. While we are working closely with our customers and suppliers to minimize this impact, at this time, it is difficult to quantify the financial impact, if any, of such obsolete inventory.
Deferred Taxes - We review the nature of each component of our deferred income taxes for reasonableness. If determined that it is more likely than not that we will not realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, which allowance will be charged to income tax expense in the period of such determination. We also consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets. We also consider the weight of both positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed. Based upon recent operating results and the difficulty of estimating future market conditions, we have fully reserved a $669,000 allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
Results of Operations
Three month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared To The Three month Period Ended June 30, 2004.
Page 8 |
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $2,202,000, compared with $2,647,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $445,000 or 16.8%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in demand for our discrete and passive and semiconductor components.
Cost of goods sold for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased to $1,616,000 from $1,888,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $272,000 or 14.4%. Consistent with the decrease in net sales, cost of goods sold decreased. Gross profit decreased as a percentage of net sales to 26.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 from 28.7% for the same period last year. Gross profit decreased by $173,000 to $586,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 from $759,000 for the same period in 2004.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $34,000 or 5.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period of 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to personnel-related expenses. The corresponding average employee base declined to 27 from 28 employees, which represents a 3.6% reduction in overall workforce. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 28.5% from 25% for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Operating loss was $42,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to an operating income of $97,000 for the same period last year. Operating results decreased primarily from lower gross profits and lower net sales, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased by $49,000 compared to the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding borrowing levels during the current quarter, when compared to the same period last year.
Income tax provision was $0 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared to $0 for the same period last year. (No net income tax provision or benefit was recorded during the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.)
Net loss was $8,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 as compared with $24,000 net income for the same period last year.
Six month Period Ended June 30, 2005 Compared To The Six month Period Ended June 30, 2004.
Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $4,044,000 compared with net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 of $5,138,000, a decrease of $1,094,000 or 21.3%.
Cost of goods sold decreased by $773,000 to $2,957,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, a decrease of 20.7% from the same period in 2004. Consistent with the decrease in net sales, cost of goods sold decreased, however at a slower rate, resulting in gross profit decreasing as a percentage of net sales to 26.9% for the first six months of this year from 27.4% for the same period last year. Gross profit decreased by $321,000 to $1,087,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $1,408,000 for the same period in 2004.
SG&A expenses decreased by $25,000 or 2.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The decrease is primarily attributable to personnel-related expenses. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A increased to 30.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from 24.7% for the same period last year.
Operating loss was $159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to operating income $137,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2004. Operating results decreased primarily from lower gross profits and lower net sales, as discussed above.
Interest expense, net of interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased by $99,000 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is primarily due to lower outstanding borrowing levels incurred during the current quarter, when compared to the same period last year.
No net income tax provision or benefit was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.
Net loss was $137,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a net income of $34,000 for the same period in 2004, a decrease of $171,000 resulting from the same reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have satisfied our liquidity requirements principally through cash generated from operations, short-term commercial loans, subordinated promissory notes and issuance of equity securities. A summary of our cash flows resulting from our operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:
Six months ended June 30,
|
||||
---|---|---|---|---|
(Dollars in thousands) | 2005 |
2004 |
||
(Unaudited) | (Unaudited) | |||
Operating activities | $ 662 | $ 1,044 | ||
Investing activities | (23 | ) | (26 | ) |
Financing activities | (71 | ) | (959 | ) |
Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased to $662,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005, as compared to $1,044,000 during the same period last year. The overall decrease was affected by a decrease in inventory of $775,000 during the first six months of 2005, as compared to a decrease of $1,006,000 during the same period last year. The Companys ability to continue generating cash from operations is dependent upon using its current inventory (as opposed to new purchases of inventory) for generating sales, collection of its receivables and extended payments of accounts payables.
Cash flows used in investing activities was $23,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared with cash flows provided by of $26,000 during the same period last year.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased to $71,000 from $959,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of using operating cash flow of $322,000 for repurchase of Class A Common Stocks and $664,000 for repayments of notes payable during the 2004 period.
Inventory is included in current assets; however, it will take over one year for the inventory to turn. Hence, inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included in current assets, such as cash.
We believe that funds generated from operations, in addition to existing cash balances, and the revolving line of credit facility is likely to be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. If these funds are not sufficient, we may secure new sources of asset-based lending on accounts receivables or issue debt or equity securities. Otherwise, we may need to liquidate assets to generate the necessary working capital.
As of the date of this Report, we had no commitments for other equity or debt financing or other capital expenditures, except as disclosed in Note 3 - Long-Term Debt.
Subsequent Events
As of July 15, 2005, the Company completely repaid its note payable collateralized by real property and renewed its revolving line of credit facility provided up to $3 million for operating purposes with an expiration date of June 17, 2006.
