Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 29, 2013

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Nature of Business

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “ARC”) was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1987.

Quadrant Metals Technology, LLC (referred to herein as “QMT” or “the Predecessor”) was formed in March 2011 to function as a holding company for a group of diversified manufacturing and distribution companies. Subsequent to formation, QMT acquired controlling interests in Tekna Seal LLC (“Tekna Seal”) as of May 1, 2011 and in FloMet LLC (“FloMet”) as of June 30, 2011. In addition, QMT acquired General Flange & Forge (“GF&F”) as of April 18, 2011 and has held controlling interests in GF&F since that date. Furthermore, TubeFit LLC (“TubeFit”) was formed on November 1, 2011 and QMT has held controlling interests in TubeFit since that date. While QMT was formed in 2011 as a holding company, affiliated companies have held controlling interests in FloMet and Tekna Seal for over 10 years.

Advanced Forming Technology, Inc. (“AFT”) is comprised of two operating units, AFT-US and AFT Hungary. AFT-US was founded in 1987. From 1991 until its acquisition by ARC, AFT was operated as a division of Precision Castparts Corporation, a publicly traded company.

Basis of Presentation/Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30; the quarters for interim reporting consist of thirteen weeks, therefore, the quarter end will not always coincide with the date of the calendar month.

Prior to the date of the Acquisitions (as defined below), the Predecessor operated in two business segments, identified as:

●	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet and Tekna Seal, and

●	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit.

After completion of the Acquisitions, ARC operates three business segments:

●	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary, and Tekna Seal;

●	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit; and

●	Wireless Group, consisting of ARC Wireless LLC and ARC Wireless Ltd.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company made the decision to discontinue the operations of TubeFit, which was previously included within its Flanges & Fittings segment. The operations of TubeFit have been included in our financial statements as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company as well as the Predecessor Company and all wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated in consolidation.

Significant Business Acquisitions

On August 8, 2012, ARC completed the acquisitions of QMT and AFT (referred to herein as the “QMT Acquisition” and the “AFT Acquisition” and collectively, the “Acquisitions”). The reasons for the Acquisitions included synergies between the businesses, including cross fertilization of product/customer applications, expanded R&D capabilities, and operational synergies, among others. It is also believed that the Acquisitions will help generate further scale and lead to enhanced revenue and earnings growth. The Company believes that combination of two of the largest recognized leaders in the metal injection molding (“MIM”) industry will provide distinct scale advantages creating substantial barriers to entry for other companies and providing ARC with long-term strategic positioning as the clear market leader in the MIM industry.

For reasons detailed below, the accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of ARC, QMT and AFT for periods subsequent to the Acquisitions; for periods prior to the Acquisitions the results of operations are presented only for QMT.

The QMT Acquisition

Effective August 8, 2012, the Company issued common stock in exchange for 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interest of QMT (equal to 4,029,700 shares of ARC’s common stock after giving effect to the 1:1.95 reverse stock split). The QMT Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under generally accepted accounting principles, whereby QMT was deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition. The shares of common stock issued to QMT pursuant to the merger are presented as having been outstanding since July 1, 2011.

As a result, the financial statements for periods prior to August 8, 2012 reflect only the operations of QMT. The accompanying financial statements present the previously issued shares of ARC common stock as having been issued pursuant to the merger on August 8, 2012. All transactions between divisions and/or wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company or the Predecessor Company have been eliminated in the financial statements.

For the QMT Acquisition, , the Company sold 57,505 shares of ARC Common Stock after giving effect to the proposed 1:1.95 reverse stock split to Carret P.T., LP in consideration for cash investment in ARC of $449 thousand. The purchase price for the reverse acquisition of $10.2 million was derived from the ARC common stock equal to 1,585,413 shares after giving effect to the 1:1.95 reverse stock split at the August 8, 2012 stock price.

With regard to the assets acquired for the reverse merger of ARC by QMT, ARC’s historical accumulated deficit for periods prior to August 8, 2012, in the amount of $10.2 million was eliminated against additional paid in capital. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013, includes the impact of the acquisition.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

To record the assets and liabilities for the reverse merger of ARC by QMT (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	10,590
Accounts receivable, net		1,096
Inventories, net		737
Prepaid and other current assets		40
Property and equipment, net		236
Intangible assets		109
Other Assets		6
Negative goodwill resulting from the acquisition accounted for as a bargain purchase		(381	)
Accounts payable		(2,030	)
Accrued expenses		(169	)
Current portion of capital lease		(9	)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	10,225

The AFT Acquisition

Effective August 8, 2012, the Company acquired all shares of AFT and the net assets of AFT for approximately $40.6 million. The AFT Acquisition was completed through the payment of cash totaling $7.1 million, less post-closing adjustments of ($0.1) million, bank facility funds of $18.1 million, and a convertible note net of interest discount with Precision Castparts Corp. of $15.5 million.

The total adjusted purchase price of AFT was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based upon their respective fair values at the acquisition date with the excess purchase price allocated to goodwill for AFT in the amount of $4.7 million. The goodwill arising from the AFT Acquisition consists of synergies and economies of scale expected from the QMT and AFT Acquisitions. The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. For AFT, third party consultants were retained to perform valuation techniques to establish valuation for property and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets. For ARC the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $10.6 million exceeded the fair value of the purchase price of the business of $10.2 million. As a result, the Company reassessed the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed and concluded that the valuation procedures and resulting measures were appropriate. Accordingly, the ARC reverse acquisition has been accounted for as a bargain purchase and, as a result, the Company recognized a gain of $0.4 million associated with the reverse acquisition. The gain is included in the line item “Gain on bargain purchase” in the 2013 Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The following table summarizes the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.

To record the assets and liabilities purchased in the acquisition of AFT (in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents	$	735
Accounts receivable, net		6,236
Inventories, net		6,521
Prepaid and other current assets		264
Property and equipment, net		21,590
Other intangible assets		4,983
Goodwill		4,663
Accounts payable		(3,007	)
Accrued expenses		(1,375	)
Fair value of net assets acquired	$	40,610

Pro forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The historical operating results of ARC and AFT have not been included in the Company’s historical consolidated operating results prior to their acquisition dates. The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as if the acquisition had been completed on July 1, 2012.

(In thousands, except per share data)	Three Month Period Ended September 30, 2012
Revenue	$	16,769
Loss from continuing operations		(735	)
Loss from discontinued operations		(70	)
Net loss	$	(805	)

Loss per common share for continuing operation		(0.13	)
Loss per common share for discontinued operations		(0.01	)
Basic and diluted net loss per common share	$	(0.14	)

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an initial maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. At times, cash in the bank may exceed FDIC insurable limits.

Accounts Receivable

The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The allowance is sufficient to cover both current and anticipated future losses. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. Management estimates this amount based upon prior experience with customers and an analysis of individual trade accounts. An allowance for doubtful accounts of $255 thousand and $222 thousand has been reserved as of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

The Company offers most customers between net 30 and 60 day terms. Accounts are considered past due if a payment is not received within credit terms.

Inventories

The Company values inventories at the lower of average cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. It is the Company’s practice to provide a valuation allowance for inventories to account for actual market pricing deflation and inventory shrinkage. Management actively reviews this inventory to determine that all materials are for products still in production to determine any potential obsolescence issues. An allowance for inventory obsolescence of $419 thousand and $386 thousand has been reserved as of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

		Useful Life
	Building and Improvements	7 to 40 years
	Machinery and Equipment	3 to 12 years

Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation expense totaled $772 thousand and $572 thousand in the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

The carrying value of long-lived assets are reviewed annually; if at any time the facts or circumstances at any of our individual subsidiaries indicate impairment of long-lived asset values, as a result of a continual decline in performance, or as a result of fundamental changes in a subsidiary’s market conditions, a determination is made as to whether the carrying value of the property’s long-lived assets exceeds estimated realizable value. Long-lived assets consist primarily of Property and Equipment. No impairment was determined as of September 29, 2013.

Goodwill and Intangibles

Goodwill is recognized as a result of an acquisition when the price paid for the acquired business exceeds the fair value of its identified net assets. Identifiable intangible assets are recognized at their fair value when acquired. Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. The Company performs the qualitative assessment using a “more likely than not” concept first. The determination of the value of such intangible assets requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the consolidated financial statements. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is necessary. The Company is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. If impairment exists, then the fair value of the goodwill is determined by allocation of the Company’s fair value to its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible assets). Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment.

The Company has evaluated its goodwill and intangibles that were acquired in prior periods for impairment and has determined that goodwill and intangibles were not impaired for continuing operations as of the quarter ended September 29, 2013.

The carrying amounts of goodwill are as follows (in thousands):

	September 29,		June 30,
	2013		2013
Precision Components	$	9,785	$	9,785
Flanges and Fitting		1,712		1,712
Wireless		—		—
Total	$	11,497	$	11,497

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Goodwill and Intangibles

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of acquired intangible assets are as follows (in thousands):

	September 29,			June 30,
	2013			2013
Patents	$	272		$	272
Tradenames		75			75
Customer Relationships		4,971			4,971
Total Gross Carrying Value		5,318			5,318
Accumulated Amortization		(822	)		(696	)
Total Net Carrying Value	$	4,496		$	4,622

Intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years. Amortization expense totaled $126 thousand for other identifiable intangible assets for the quarter ended September 29, 2013.

Estimated future amortization expense for the next five years as of September 29, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

Fiscal Years	Amount
2014		$	378
2015			503
2016			503
2017			503
2018			502

Deferred Revenue

Unearned revenue consists of customer deposits for the development of molds used in the manufacturing process. As of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, unearned income was $712 thousand and $1,103 thousand, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue and the related expenses when the customer approves the mold for production. Accordingly, as of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company has incurred costs of $762 thousand and $897 thousand, respectively, related to molds in the process of being developed which have been deferred and are included as part of the total current assets on the accompanying balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of sales tax, trade discounts, and customer returns.

The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete. This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the contract or purchase order, ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured, and pricing is fixed and determinable. In instances where title does not pass to the customer upon shipment, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery or customer acceptance, depending on terms of the sales agreement. Service sales, representing maintenance and engineering activities, are recognized as services are performed.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, accrued liabilities, and notes and accounts payable. It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest rate or credit risks arising from these instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values.

Use of Estimates

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 amounts 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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes, which utilizes the asset and liability method of computing deferred income taxes. The objective of this method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for any temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The current and deferred tax provision is allocated among the members of the consolidated group on the separate income tax return basis.

ASC 740 also provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized. During the three months ended September 29, 2013 the Company recognized no adjustments for uncertain tax positions.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were recognized at September 29, 2013. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

The tax returns for the years ending June 30, 2010 through 2012 are open to examination by federal and state authorities.

Presentation of Certain Taxes

The Company collects various taxes from customers and remits these amounts to applicable taxing authorities. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude these taxes from revenues and cost of sales.

Advertising

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Total advertising costs for the quarters ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 was approximately $11 thousand and $28 thousand, respectively.

NOTE A – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Foreign Currency Transactions

AFT-Hungary’s functional currency is the U.S. Dollar, transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Transaction gains and losses had no material impact on the Company’s results of operations for any year presented.

NOTE B – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Changes to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of accounting standards updates (ASU’s) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, “Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes,” (“ASU 2013-10”). ASU 2013-10 provides guidance on the risks that are permitted to be hedged in a fair value or cash flow hedge. ASU 2013-10 is effective for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the determination or reporting of the Company’s financial results.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax benefit When a New operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides guidance to eliminate diversity in practice in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits in those instances. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption will have on the determination or reporting of its financial results.

On August 8, 2012, QMT entered into an agreement with TD Bank, N.A. for a $25.0 million credit facility to fund the purchase of Precision Castparts Corp.’s (“PCC”) interest in Advanced Forming Technology Inc. and AFT-Hungary Kft., and to pay off the balances of outstanding loans held as of that date.

The Credit facility is described in the first four notes below. Unless otherwise noted, interest rate for the Credit facility below is variable and can range from one month Libor plus 250-300bps and is determined based on total leverage ratio as measured on a rolling four quarter basis at the end of each fiscal quarter.

	Balance as of (in thousands)
	September 29, 2013			June 30, 2013
Revolving line of credit not to exceed $10.0 million with a maturity date of August 8, 2015; collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory; the amount available from this line is determined by a monthly borrowing base, at September 29, 2013. Interest is accrued and payable monthly.	$	2,643		$	2,868

Term Loan A in the amount of $3.6 million, collateralized by equipment payable in equal monthly payments of $60 thousand plus accrued interest, with a maturity date of August 8, 2017.	$	2,829		$	3,010

Term Loan B (commercial mortgage) in the amount of $5.5 million payable in equal monthly installments of $18 thousand plus accrued interest with maturity date of August 8, 2022, with a five year call option.	$	5,234		$	5,288

NOTE E – LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

(1)

The interest discount represents the difference between the actual negotiated interest rate being the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity rate, and the Company’s assumption of market rate of 4%. The total interest discount calculated was $2.1 million, which is amortized over the life of the note. The fiscal year 2014 non-cash interest discount amortization reduces the interest discount balance by $105 thousand, resulting in an ending balance as of September 29, 2013 of $1.6 million.

Maturities on notes payable and Line of Credit are due as follows using our fiscal year end:


2014	$	6,049
2015		1,975
2016		941
2017		16,915
2018		339
2019 – 2022		4,193
Total		30,412

An economic hedging instrument was acquired through TD Bank, N.A. to synthetically convert the floating rate to an indicative fixed rate on 50% of the notional amounts of Term Loan A and Term Loan B for a term of five years. Fixed rate through a derivative swap was locked in at the time the Swap was executed; the swap is discussed in Note F.

Certain loans are subject to financial and non-financial covenants established by TD Bank, N.A.; compliance is determined on an annual basis using audited and consolidated financial statements. As of the quarter ended September 29, 2013 and year ended June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE F - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Pay Fixed, Receive-Variable Interest Rate Swaps

Objective of the swaps: QMT entered into two separate pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swaps with the objective of eliminating the variability in the Company’s interest expense on 50% of its $3,612 thousand Term Loan (“Term Loan A”) and of its $5,470 thousand Term Loan (“Term Loan B”) attributable to changes in one month LIBOR. The Term Loans were made pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement (“Agreement”) dated August 8, 2012 between QMT and TD Bank, N.A.

The terms of the outstanding swaps as September 29, 2013 were as follows:

Associated Debt	Notional Amount (thousands)		Effective Date	Fixed Rate Paid			Variable Rate Received	Fair Value (thousands)		Swap Termination Date
Term Loan A	$	1,414	8-Aug-2012		0.85	%	LIBOR*	$	5	8-Aug-2017
Term Loan B	$	2,616	8-Aug-2012		1.10	%	LIBOR*	$	6	8-Aug-2017

*One month London Interbank Offered Rate

NOTE F - DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company estimated the fair value of these instruments based on a market position at close of business September 29, 2013 and on such basis determined the fair value to be $11 thousand.

Termination of Swap prior to maturity will be settled at market value and may result in a payment to or from borrower determined at the time of termination.

NOTE G – BENEFIT PLANS

401(k) Plan

Each of the operating entities of the Predecessor sponsors a 401(k) plan and matches employee contributions as determined by resolution of the Board on an annual basis. The employer contribution criterion currently varies by operating entity. The amount charged to expense under the Plan was $76 thousand and $86 thousand for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

Cash Incentive Plan

Certain full-time salaried employees of the Company are covered under a contributory cash incentive plan. The Company’s contributions are based on amounts established at the discretion of the Board. The Company’s contributions to this plan for three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were $203 thousand and $112 thousand, respectively.

NOTE H – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company leases land, facilities and equipment under various non-cancellable operating lease agreements expiring through August 31, 2017 and contain various renewal options.

At September 29, 2013, future rental commitments under non-cancellable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

June 30,
2014	$	293
2015		167
2016		143
2017		129
2018		104
Thereafter		—
Total		836

Rent expense was $72 thousand and $163 thousand for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Company entered into an employee agreement with the president and CEO of Quadrant Metal Technologies (“QMT”) dated March 1, 2011. The agreement will expire February 24, 2014, with an automatic one year renewal option. The President and CEO of QMT’s annual salary is $285 thousand and he is eligible for benefits as provided to similar situated employees of QMT.

NOTE I – CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER CONCENTRATION RISK

The Company had sales to four customers for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively, which represented approximately 41.8% and 30.9% of our sales. The concentration of the Company’s business with a relatively small number of customers may expose us to a material adverse effect if one or more of these large customers were to experience financial difficulty or were to cease being customer for non-financial related issues. The Company sells a majority of its products in the MIM business to medical, firearm, consumer, and automotive industries.

As of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, these customers represented approximately 35.2% and 35.6%, respectively, of our net trade accounts receivable.

As of September 29, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively, there was no concentration in the volume of business above 5% transacted with a particular supplier(s) for which the Company had no alternative sources of supply.

NOTE J – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share, reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the entity. As of September 29, 2013 the Company had no outstanding stock options, therefore there was no computation of effect of dilutive securities. In addition, there was no effect of the convertible debt to the dilutive calculation since the non-market based contingency had not been met.

The following table represents a reconciliation of the shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the respective periods indicated (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	For the Three Months Ended
	September 29,						September 30,
	2013						2012
	Net Earnings (Loss) Attributed to Common Stock		Weighted Average Shares		Per Share Earnings (Loss)		Net Earnings (Loss) Attributed to Common Stock			Weighted Average Shares		Per Share Earnings (Loss)
Basic and Diluted EPS:
Net Earnings from Continuing Operations	$	1,254		5,728	$	0.22	$	(26	)		5,150	$	(0.01	)
Net Loss from Discontinued Operations		—		5,728		—		(63	)		5,150		(0.01	)

Diluted earnings per share	$	1,254		5,728	$	0.22	$	(89	)		5,150	$	(0.02	)

NOTE K - INCOME TAXES

The current income tax provision for the three months ended September 29, 2013 is $267 thousand. In addition, for the three months ended September 29, 2013, there were $119K thousand in local foreign taxes paid. There was no income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Goodwill recorded as part of an asset purchase agreement is deductible for tax purposes and only recorded as a book charge if it is impaired. A deferred tax liability is recorded as the tax deduction is realized, which will not be reversed unless and until the goodwill is disposed of or impaired. The Company will continue to record an income tax expense related to the amortization of goodwill as a discrete item each quarter unless and until such impairment occurs.

As of September 29, 2013, our net deferred tax assets of $4,316 thousand are fully offset by a valuation allowance. ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides for the recognition of deferred tax assets if realization of such assets is more likely than not.

Based upon the weight of available evidence, which includes historical operating performance and uncertainties in forecasting our future results, we provided a full valuation allowance against our net U.S. deferred tax assets and a full valuation allowance against certain foreign deferred tax assets. The Company will reassess the need for a valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. A subsequent determination that the valuation allowance should be reduced would generally result in a benefit to the income tax provision.

NOTE L – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Prior to August 8, 2012, the Company operated as a diversified manufacturing holding company active in metal injection molding, specialty hermetic seals, and flanges & fittings and operated under two reportable business segments:

·	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet and Tekna Seal, and

·	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit.

Subsequent to the Acquisitions on August 8, 2012, the Company operates three business segments:

·	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary, and Tekna Seal;

NOTE M – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Quadrant Management Inc. and Brean Murray Carret Group, Inc.

Quadrant Management Inc. (“QMI”) is under common control with Brean Murray Carret Group, Inc. (“Brean Murray”). Quadrant indirectly owned 74.0% of the membership interests of Quadrant Metals Technologies LLC (“QMT”) prior to the Acquisitions. Brean Murray is the controlling shareholder of ARC. Brean Murray and QMI are under common control and therefore Brean Murray, QMI, ARC, and QMT are affiliates under common control. Specifically, Brean Murray controls 100% of the ownership interests of QMI, as well as, via certain wholly-owned intermediaries, 61.5% of the shares of ARC.

Pursuant to the original terms of the ARC Advisory Agreement entered into on January 21, 2009, (the “ARC Advisory Agreement”), QMI has provided ARC financial advisory and business consulting services, including restructuring services. In consideration for the restructuring services provided by QMI since November 2008 and for ongoing services, ARC originally agreed to pay QMI the following compensation: (1) an initial cash fee of $250 thousand upon signing the ARC Advisory Agreement; (2) an annual fee of the greater of: (i) $250 thousand; (ii) 20% of any increase in reported earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization after adjusting for one-time and non-recurring items (“EBITDA”) for the current financial year over preceding year; or (iii) 20% of reported EBITDA for the current financial year; and (3) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred QMI in performing services under the ARC Advisory Agreement.

The ARC Advisory Agreement technically provides QMI the right to receive 20% of ARC’s EBITDA, even if such EBITDA is derived from the QMT Acquisition and the AFT Acquisition. However, QMI has granted waivers to certain provisions of the ARC Advisory Agreement, (the “Quadrant Waiver”), such that: (1) in calendar year 2012 QMI shall only be paid an annual fee equal to the greater of (i) $250 thousand; (ii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012 less the combined EBITDA of QMT and AFT for the twelve months ending February 29, 2012 less the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2011; or (iii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the reported EBITDA for the financial year of the Company minus the reported EBITDA for QMT and AFT for the twelve months ended February 29, 2012; and (2) in calendar year 2013 QMI shall only be paid an annual fee equal to the greater of (i) $250 thousand; (ii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2013 less the EBITDA of ARC for the twelve months ending December 31, 2012; or (iii) the product of (a) 20% and (b) the reported EBITDA for the financial year of the Company minus the reported EBITDA for QMT and AFT for the twelve months ended February 29, 2012. The ARC Advisory Agreement has been further revised such that it shall no longer extend for additional one-year periods after its expiration on December 31, 2013 in the absence of written termination notice by either party.

NOTE M – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In consideration for granting the foregoing waiver, and in consideration for substantial merger and acquisition support services rendered to ARC over the past several years, QMI and ARC entered into a Letter Agreement pursuant to which ARC agreed to pay QMI transaction fees upon the closing of the QMT and AFT Acquisitions, calculated by reference to 2% of the total enterprise value for the QMT Acquisition and AFT Acquisition. As a result of the Closing of the QMT and AFT Acquisitions on August 8, 2012, a fee of $1.6 million has been paid to QMI.

In addition, QMI and QMT have entered into a non-exclusive financial advisory agreement, (the “QMT Financial Advisory Agreement”), whereby QMI performs ongoing consulting and advisory services for QMT through QMI personnel (acting at all times as independent contractors to QMT). The scope of such services includes business consulting services, financial advisory services, and other services. In consideration for such services, on April 1, 2012, QMT commenced paying an annual cash fee to QMI of $250 thousand to be paid in quarterly installments. QMT shall reimburse QMI for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by QMI in connection with the performance of its services. The QMT-QMI financial advisory agreement continues in effect following the acquisition of QMT by the Company and will remain effective through December 31, 2013 in accordance with the Amendment to the QMT Financial Advisory Agreement.

As a result of the accounting for the reverse merger, the statement of operations reflect only the fees earned by QMI for financial advisory services provided to QMT prior to August 8, 2012 and subsequent to August 8, 2012, fees earned by QMI for financial advisory services provided to ARC and QMT. Fees earned by QMI for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012 were $428 thousand and $188 thousand, respectively.

In addition, the following officers and directors of ARC are also affiliated with QMI and Brean Murray: Mr. Jason Young, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, has been a Managing Director at QMI since 2005, where he is responsible for making investments in US and emerging market companies, and where he frequently serves in active management or director-level roles. Mr. Theodore Deinard, who served as the Company’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company until he resigned as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors on April 29, 2013, is a Managing Director of QMI and serves as Chief Executive Officer of ARC Wireless, Inc. Mr. Deinard is also related by marriage to an officer of QMI. Mr. Jason Young and Mr. Alan Quasha, an officer of QMI, each serve on the Board of Directors of QMT and receive fees for such services. Mr. Young and Mr. Deinard are each deemed to share voting and investment power over the shares beneficially owned by Brean Murray.

As of September 29, 2013, Quadrant Metals Technologies owed its members $20 thousand for state income tax withheld on membership distributions.

NOTE N – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company made the decision to discontinue operation of TubeFit, which was previously included within its Flanges & Fittings segment.

OPERATIONS REVIEW

ARC is a diversified, global manufacturing company focused on bringing innovation and technology to traditional manufacturing. ARC seeks to accomplish this by building technologically advanced, niche manufacturing businesses in the US and abroad. Through the advent and continued adoption of automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, 3D imaging and printing, and lower domestic energy prices, ARC believes the US manufacturing sector is poised for a significant resurgence. At the same time, ARC continues to seek opportunities both in the developed and developing world, in order to adapt to the global manufacturing supply chain as it continues to evolve.

ARC is focused on building its core manufacturing businesses in precision components, flanges, fittings and wireless equipment. The Company focuses on building these units through organic growth, as well as through vertical and horizontal acquisitions. In addition to making acquisitions that are strategic to ARC, the Company will continue to evaluate new manufacturing niches that fit into its broader objectives, which are bringing manufacturing back to the US, bringing technology to traditional manufacturing, and optimally positioning the Company within the global manufacturing supply chain.

ARC currently operates three reportable segments:

●	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary and Tekna Seal LLC;

●	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of General Flange & Forge LLC; and

●	Wireless Group, consisting of ARC Wireless LLC and ARC Wireless Ltd.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company made the decision to discontinue the operations of TubeFit, which was previously included within its Flanges & Fittings segment. The operations of TubeFit have been included in our consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Precision Components Group

The precision component industry is comprised of a number of significant industries commonly defined by the process and/or type of metal utilized to manufacture the component. Common processes include casting, forging, machining, stamping, powder metallurgy (conventional P/M metal injection molding or “MIM”, and powder forging), and extrusion. MIM is a metallurgical fabrication process that allows complex parts to be produced in quantity, and at a lower cost than comparable machining or other metalworking processes. The MIM process can be utilized to produce parts in a range of alloys including carbon and low alloy steels, stainless steels, magnetic materials, copper, and exotic alloys such as Inconel and titanium. The worldwide market for precision metal components is believed to total hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

The Precision Components Group companies participate in several metal component fabrication market segments providing high quality fabricated metal components and the hermetic sealing of components to market leading companies, among them medical devices, firearms, automotive, aerospace components, consumer durables, and electronic devices.

The Precision Components segment also utilizes 3D printing to provide a more complete solution to its customers. It’s applications in the business have increased in the past two years and the Company has committed technical development resources to utilize the technology to dramatically reduce time to market from months to weeks. ARC views 3D printing to be a burgeoning area of growth for the Company, both in production and prototypes. The Company is making 3D printing a top priority going forward, given the strategic fit to the Precision Components product and customer base.

Flange and Fittings Group

GF&F is one of approximately 10 domestic flange manufacturers in the United States, and the only one located on the East Coast. GF&F has been in business since 1972. GF&F estimates that the domestic market for carbon, stainless, and alloy flanges, is more than a billion dollars.

GF&F’s business model is focused on converting foreign-purchased alloy steel and stainless steel forgings into domestic flanges via value-added processing to provide a finished component with sufficient domestic content to qualify as domestically produced. GF&F also sells foreign produced finished flanges for certain applications. Additionally, GF&F purchases forgings produced in the US and Europe and machine them into finished flanges for high-integrity applications.

Wireless Group

The Wireless Group focuses on wireless broadband technology related to propagation and optimization. It designs and develops hardware, including antennas, radios, and related accessories, used in broadband and other wireless networks. Products are sold to public and private carriers, wireless infrastructure providers, wireless equipment distributors, value added resellers, and other original equipment manufacturers.

Growth in product revenue is dependent on market acceptance of the new products, in development and already released, to support our wireless initiatives. Revenue growth for the products is correlated to the overall global wireless market and to the ability to take market share from our competitors. The Wireless Group focuses on keeping our operational and general costs low in order to improve margins.

Specific growth areas are last mile wireless broadband Internet delivered over standards-based solutions such as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (“WiMAX”), WiFi or vendor specific proprietary solutions; GPS and Mobile SATCOM solutions for network timing, fleet and asset tracking and monitoring; Machine to machine (“M2M”) communications for controlling or monitoring data from devices; and base stations to build out or optimize carrier networks.

Discontinued Operations

TubeFit

TubeFit’s operations consisted of distribution of import fittings and both import and domestic flanges. TubeFit served a segment of the market called the General Commodity Welds Fitting and Flange market. TubeFit is no longer actively operating and the assets and liabilities of TubeFit are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s financial statements as of September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Results of Continuing Operations for the Three Months Ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012

For the three months ended September 29, 2013, the Company’s total sales were $18.4 million, an increase of $5.1 million, or 38%, from $13.3 million in the comparable prior year period. The QMT and AFT Acquisitions during fiscal year 2013 contributed $2.9 million in additional sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Excluding the impact from the aforementioned acquisition, sales growth increased $2.2 million, or 16% compared to the prior year period. This increase is attributed to robust growth in our MIM businesses and the continued growth in demand with their customers, primarily in the Firearms market segment.

For the three months ended September 29, 2013, the Company’s net income from continuing operations was $1.9 million, an increase of $2.1 million from a loss of ($0.2) million in the comparable prior year period. Significant expenses impacted both periods, as the first quarter of fiscal year 2013 included merger expenses of $1.6 million and the first quarter of fiscal 2014 included a stock based compensation grant of $0.7 million. Excluding these significant expenses, the net income from continuing operations was still an increase of $1.2 million. The increase is attributed to a combination of top line sales growth, improved efficiencies, and the financial benefits realized from the intensive continuous improvement efforts company-wide.

The total other expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was ($0.2) million, compared to $0.2 million income for the comparable prior year period. The difference is primarily attributed to the $0.4 million of other income recognized in first quarter fiscal 2013 associated with the gain on bargain purchase for the QMT Acquisition accounted for as a reverse acquisition. It is also noted that included in the total other expense for the first quarter fiscal 2014 was non-cash interest expense of ($0.1) million, a result of the interest discount amortization on the convertible debt.

The total tax expense for the first quarter fiscal 2014 was ($0.4) million, as a result of domestic and foreign income, which resulted in ($0.1) million of foreign tax expense and ($0.3) million of domestic tax expense. In the comparable prior year period, there was no tax expense due to the loss position.

Income allocated to the Company’s non-controlling interest was $56 thousand for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to $73 thousand for the comparable prior year period. The decrease was a result of reductions in the non-controlling interest base since first quarter fiscal 2013, the product of equity exchanges for membership interests.

Net income from continuing operations attributable to ARC for the first quarter fiscal 2014 was $1.25 million, or $0.22 per share, compared to a loss from continuing operations attributable to ARC for the comparable prior year period of ($26) thousand, or ($0.01) per share.

Results of Continuing Operations by Segment: Comparison between Three Months Ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012

●	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet and Tekna Seal, and

●	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit.

Subsequent to the Acquisitions on August 8, 2012, the Company operates three business segments:

●	Precision Components Group, consisting of FloMet, AFT-US, AFT-Hungary, and Tekna Seal;

●	Flanges and Fittings Group, consisting of GF&F and TubeFit; and

●	Wireless Group, consisting of ARC Wireless LLC and ARC Wireless Ltd.

During the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company made the decision to discontinue the operations of TubeFit, which was previously included within its Flanges & Fittings segment. Consequently, the Company has classified the results of operations of TubeFit as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

The following table shows consolidated sales revenue, percentage of net sales, and operating profit by business segment, as well as identifying trends in business segment sales revenues for the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012. Table amounts are in thousands.

Precision Components

Precision Components’ sales were $16.5 million for the three months ended September 29 2013, compared to sales of $11.3 million during the comparable prior year period, an increase of $5.2 million. Operating income was $3.1 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to $1.6 million during the comparable prior year period, an increase of $1.5 million. Segment operating income as a percent of segment sales for the three months ended September 29, 2013 increased to 18.8% from 14.1% of segment sales during the comparable prior year period.

Sales for the segment increased significantly, by $5.2 million or 45.7%, over the comparable prior year period. The AFT Acquisition in fiscal 2013 contributed $2.7 million in additional sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. Excluding the Acquisition’s impact, sales growth compared to the comparable prior year period still increased $2.5 million, or 22.0%. The firearms market segment at AFT continued to grow, as the Company was able to meet increased demand for, and secure several new programs, from their customers in this market segment. In addition, AFT-HU contributed to the sales growth through increased demand related to the automotive turbocharger customers. FloMet saw a slight increase in sales over the prior year quarter as a result of additional production volume in the consumer market segment. Tekna Seal did not experience growth over the prior year period as a large, intermittently recurring order did not occur in the current quarter. However, Tekna Seal did recently receive an annual blanket order from a new customer in the aerospace industry which is encouraging progress.

The segment’s operating income increased $1.5 million or 94.8% over the comparable prior year period. The AFT Acquisition in fiscal 2013 contributed $0.2 million in additional operating income in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Excluding the Acquisition’s impact, operating income compared to the comparable prior year period increased $1.3 million, or 80.2%. Since the Acquisition’s close date of August 8, 2012, the companies have focused on integration of certain shared services and sharing of best practices amongst the MIM manufacturing sites. These efforts, in addition to other activities such as increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, and leveraging increased sales volume across the fixed cost structure have contributed to the improvement in operating income as a percent of sales.

The MIM businesses received 15 new tools this quarter representing approximately $2.0 million in potential incremental revenue at anticipated production volumes. Additional capacity in AFT-US is also being added to accommodate the continued growth in the firearms market segment for product lines already tooled on which volumes are forecasted to increase as soon as that additional capacity is in place. Further, new firearms business, which was tooled within the last three quarters, is expected to launch in the next two quarters. FloMet received new orders from several medical device customers in the period that will impact revenues later in this fiscal year, including a new customer in China. Separately, we expect continued demand in Europe for automotive turbochargers, which we hope will translate into increased revenues at AFT-HU. Tekna Seal saw positive indications across its markets with orders for new prototype applications having been received. Prototypes typically represent future production orders commencing between one and three years from original submission. In addition, Tekna Seal is experiencing increases in new medical customer orders, prototype and production orders from another aerospace controls customer, and for new development technologies associated with power storage devices. These increases in revenue may however be offset by typical customer attrition, but our goal is to add as much incremental revenue as possible. Finally, the Company believes its continued investment in technology and innovation, specifically those related to automation, robotics, 3D printing and molding, will continue to improve efficiencies and hopefully provide new sources of revenue.

Flanges and Fittings

GF&F sales were $1.3 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to sales of $1.7 million in the comparable prior year period. Segment operating income was $72 thousand for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to segment operating income of $200 thousand for the comparable prior year period. Segment operating income, as a percent of segment sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2013, decreased to 5.7% from 12.0% of segment sales for the comparable prior year period.

The segment reductions in revenues and operating income reflects the continued sluggish growth in the Northeast corridor of the United States, aligning with industry reports that commercial building is down in the area. Certain cost reductions in the GF&F operation have been implemented to reduce the operating costs as their primary market recovers until demand in that geographic market improves as reconstruction projects get underway.

GF&F is continuing aggressive sales and marketing initiatives to expand the customer base in fiscal 2014. These efforts have yielded 15 new customers this fiscal year and we are experiencing increased demand in the instrumentation market.

Wireless

Wireless’ sales were $0.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to sales of $0.4 million for the comparable prior year period. Segment operating income was $189 thousand for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to segment operating loss of ($12) thousand for the comparable prior year period. Segment operating income, as a percent of segment sales, for the three months ended September 29, 2013 increased to 27.6% from (3.1%) of segment sales for the comparable prior year period.

The segment’s increase in revenue and operating income reflects the growth in US demand for the IES product line. The segment’s operating performance has supported the growth in demand through improvements in quality, on time shipments, and maintaining a low cost structure. The Wireless segment is well positioned for growth in fiscal 2014 as the flat operating cost base is leveraged with increases in sales volume.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The near-term outlook for ARC remains positive, and we expect to generate positive cash flow from operations through the remainder of fiscal 2014. As a result of our estimated cash flows from operations, we expect to have the ability to meet our financial commitments over the next 12 months.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $0.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013. The net change in cash and cash equivalents was attributable to (i) an increase in cash from operating activities of $2.9 million related to the business operations cash generation, (ii) ($0.4) million in cash used in investing activities associated with capital expenditures, and (iii) ($1.8) million in cash used in financing activities associated with the principal payments on debt.

Total assets of $67.2 million at September 29, 2013 represented a $0.5 million increase from the $66.7 million balance at June 30, 2013. The increase in total assets reflects the cash generated by the business operations net of the debt repayments, partially offset with the reduction in discontinued operations assets in fiscal 2014 due to the shutdown of TubeFit.

Total capitalization at September 29, 2013 was $58.1 million, consisting of $30.4 million of total debt and $27.7 million of stockholders’ equity. The debt to capitalization ratio decreased to 52.3% at September 29, 2013 from 55.5% at the end of fiscal 2013. The decline is a result of the principal payments on debt used to fund the fiscal 2013 acquisition.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The net cash provided by operating activities was $2.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to net cash used by operating activities of $0.5 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 as compared to the comparable prior year period is primarily due to an increase in cash earnings, in addition to the cash decrease in the first quarter fiscal 2013 due to payment of the $1.6 million merger expenses, as well as changes in working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The net cash used in investing activities was $0.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013, compared to $13.4 million for the comparable prior year period. During the three months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012, $371 thousand and $59 thousand, respectively, was invested in manufacturing equipment and projects to expand capacity and drive an increase in production efficiencies. The remaining year over year difference is attributed to the investment in assets acquired in the AFT and QMT Acquisitions, offset with the stock issuance for cash.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The net cash used by financing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 29, 2013 consisting of principal payments on debt. The net cash provided by financing activities was $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, of which approximately $25.0 million represented borrowings to finance the AFT Acquisition, and $9.7 million cash was used in the settlement of prior QMT debt of $6.9 million and new fiscal 2013 debt payments of $2.8 million; $0.6 million was used to pay distributions to members and non-controlling interests; and $1.0 million was used to meet restricted cash requirements associated with the Credit Agreement covenants.

We believe cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and cash available from our credit facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital expenditures, and debt service for at least the next 12 months.

Debt and Credit Arrangements

On August 8, 2012, QMT entered into an agreement with TD Bank, N.A. for a $25.0 million credit facility to fund the purchase Advanced Forming Technology Inc. and AFT-Hungary Kft., and to pay off the balances of outstanding loans held as of that date. For further details please reference Note E “Long-Term Debt” of our consolidated financial statements set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As of September 29, 2013, we were in compliance with the financial covenants in the Credit Agreements. In addition, on August 8, 2012, a Convertible Note Payable to Precision Castparts in the amount of $17.6 million was issued with a five year maturity. The Convertible Note is subordinated to the first priority security interest of TD Bank, N.A. Under the terms of the Convertible Note, the Holder may at any time prior to maturity (subject to certain restrictions) convert the Convertible Note into newly issued shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the 30-day average trading value per share of the Company’s Common Stock immediately preceding conversion, provided that the Convertible Note may be converted only if it converts into less than 10% of the common ownership of the Company and the equity value of the Company is not less than $176 million.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are currently no off-balance sheet arrangements that are, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

As of September 29, 2013, there have been no significant changes to contractual obligations as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended June 30, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported therein, including estimates about the effects of matters or future events that are inherently uncertain. Policies determined to be critical are those that have the most significant impact on our financial statements and require management to use a greater degree of judgment and/or estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Pursuant to permissive authority under Regulation S-K, Rule 305, we have omitted Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, we have concluded that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 29, 2013 at the reasonable assurance level due to a weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

Our management has identified a deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting that constitutes a material weakness under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board as of September 29, 2013. Specifically we do not have adequately designed controls in place with regard to external SEC reporting compliance, because our accountants and management did not have sufficient training and available resources to on-line disclosure checklists and external resources in financial reporting and SEC reporting matters.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the material weakness described above, management will present a proposed remediation plan to the audit committee concerning the external SEC reporting compliance. Included in the process of designing a proposed remediation plan is assessing the need for a Disclosure Committee, management’s implementation of a Corporate Governance Compliance Checklist, evaluation of the accounting staff and assessing the needs for training, and evaluation of the need for heavier usage of outside consultants. We are committed to improving our financial organization and implementing a timely remediation plan in fiscal year 2014.

Except as described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended September 29, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our control over financial reporting.
