Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Investment  At December 31, 2008, the Company determined that a decline in fair value of a marketable security held was judged to be other than temporary and recorded an impairment charge of $54,000 included in other income (expense) during the three months ended December 31, 2008 to adjust the cost basis down to the fair value at December 31, 2008.

The FNBO Loan Agreement provides for a short-term credit facility of up to $5,500,000 (the FNBO Revolving Loan).  The provisions of the FNBO Revolving Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  The principal balance of the FNBO Revolving Loan currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1% (not to go below 4.00%), with interest only payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due on June 30, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit loan was $1,383,000.  The Company had $4,117,000 of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit at March 31, 2009, compared to $2,751,000 at December 31, 2008.  7  The FNBO Loan Agreement also provides for a term loan in the original principal amount of $2,000,000 (the FNBO Term Loan).  The provisions of the FNBO Term Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  Under such amendment, the original principal amount of the FNBO Term Loan was approximately $1,410,000, and the principal balance bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with principal and interest payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due January 24, 2013. The FNBO Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) tangible net worth of not less than $7.0 million, (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.5 to 1.0; (iii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 2.75 to 1.0; and (iv) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0. At March 31, 2009, the Companys subsidiary MtronPTI was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant ($6.9 million in tangible net worth vs. the minimum requirement of $7.0 million) and the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant (0.52 to 1.0 fixed charge ratio vs. the minimum requirement of 1.2 to 1.0).  FNBO has agreed to waive non-compliance with those covenants for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, provided that (i) the Company making a cash infusion to MtronPTI for the repayment of $1.0 million of the amount outstanding under the FNBO Revolving Loan and (ii) a freeze on all payments from MtronPTI to the Company (including, but not limited to, interest payments and management fees) until MtronPTI is in full compliance with those covenants.  FNBO also agreed to amend the FNBO Loan Agreement to (i) allow the $1.0 million cash infusion to be included in the numerator of the fixed charge coverage ratio for future calculations and (ii) provide that if MtronPTI is not in compliance with the covenants at the subsequent quarterly testing dates, MtronPTI will have 45 days from the end of such quarter to cure the default. The Company expects to finalize the amendments with FNBO shortly. The Company expects that, with these amendments and based on its current covenant compliance projections, MtronPTI will be in compliance with the FNBO Loan Agreement covenants at each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010. All outstanding obligations under the FNBO Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the FNBO Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement with FNBO from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 5.60% through the term of the FNBO Term Loan.  The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133).  The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2009 is ($50,000) net of any tax effect, and is included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect. On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into a loan agreement (the RBC Loan Agreement) with RBC, which provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $3,040,000 (the RBC Term Loan).  The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus 2.75% and is being repaid in monthly installments based on a 20 year amortization, with the then remaining principal balance and interest due on the fifth anniversary of the RBC Loan Agreement.  The RBC Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $4.2 million; and (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0. At March 31, 2009, the Companys subsidiary MtronPTI was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant (0.52 to 1.0 fixed charge coverage ratio vs. the minimum requirement of 1.2 to 1.0).  RBC has agreed to waive non-compliance with that covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, contingent upon (i) the repayment by the Company on behalf of MtronPTI of $400,000 of the amount outstanding under the RBC Term Loan on or before May 31, 2009, (ii) a freeze on all payments from MtronPTI to the Company (including, but not limited to, interest payments and management fees) until MtronPTI is in full compliance with that covenant and (iii)  RBCs receipt of an updated appraisal of certain of MtronPTIs property securing obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement, which appraisal may necessitate an additional repayment under the RBC Term Loan in order to maintain a loan-to-value ratio acceptable to RBC.  RBC also agreed to amend the RBC Loan Agreement to (i) allow the $1,000,000 cash infusion to MtronPTI for the partial repayment under the FNBO Revolving Loan to be included  8  in the numerator of the fixed charge coverage ratio for calculations on each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010, (ii) increase the amount required under the tangible net worth covenant from $4.2 million to $7.0 million (in line with the tangible net worth covenant under the FNBO Loan Agreement) and (iii) provide that if MtronPTI is not in compliance with the covenants at any quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010, MtronPTI will have 45 days from the end of such quarter to cure the default.  The Company expects to finalize the amendments with RBC shortly.  The Company expects that, with these amendments and based on its current covenant compliance projections, MtronPTI will be in compliance with the RBC Loan Agreement covenants at each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010. All outstanding obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement are collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI and guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year interest rate swap from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 7.51% with monthly settlement and rate reset dates.  The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with SFAS 133.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2009 is ($169,000) net of any tax effect, and is included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect. F. Stock Based Compensation On December 17, 2008, the Board of Directors granted restricted shares to eight of its members at 5,555 shares each.  No expense was recognized in 2008 for this grant. All of these shares vest ratably during 2009 at the end of each respective quarter.  Total stock compensation related expense for all outstanding grants for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 was $20,000. The unrecognized compensation expense of $60,000 will be recognized over the next nine months. G. Loss Per Share The Company computes loss per share in accordance with SFAS No.  128, Earnings Per Share.  Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the effects of stock options, restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive.  The following securities have been excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of stock options and unvested restricted stock would have been anti-dilutive because the Company has reported net losses: Three Months Ended

Other Comprehensive Loss  Other comprehensive loss includes the changes in fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale and the changes in fair values of derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, total comprehensive loss was ($936,000), comprised of net loss of ($954,000) and change in accumulated other comprehensive loss of ($18,000), compared to total comprehensive loss  9  of ($700,000) in the three months ended March 31, 2008, which was comprised of net loss of ($590,000) and change in accumulated other comprehensive loss of ($110,000). The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related taxes, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, are as follows: Three Months Ended

Fair Value Measurements The Company measures financial assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  These measurements involve various valuation techniques and assume that the transactions would occur between market participants in the most advantageous market for the Company.  The following is a summary of valuation techniques utilized by the Company for its significant financial assets and liabilities: Assets To estimate the market value of its marketable securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below.

Commitments and Contingencies  In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may become defendants in certain product liability, worker claims and other litigation.  The Company and its subsidiaries have no litigation pending at this time.  L. Income Taxes  The Company files a consolidated federal income tax returns, which includes all U.S. subsidiaries.  The Company had a total net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward of $7,366,000 as of December 31, 2008.  This NOL expires through 2028 if not utilized prior to that date.  The Company had research and development credit carry-forwards of approximately $890,000 at December 31, 2008 that can be used to reduce future income tax liabilities and expire principally between 2020 and 2028.  In addition, the Company has foreign tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $230,000 at December 31, 2008 that are available to reduce future U.S. income tax liabilities subject to certain limitations.  These foreign tax credit carry-forwards expire at various times through 2018.  11  The Company provided a benefit of $30,000 and a provision of $49,000 for foreign income taxes, respectively, in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and $0 for state taxes in each of those periods. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, except for the Companys $111,000 in AMT deferred tax assets which do not expire. M. Related Party Transactions At March 31, 2009, the Company had $5,481,000 of cash and cash equivalents.  Of this amount, $3,026,000 is invested in United States Treasury money market funds for which affiliates of the Company serve as the investment manager to the respective fund, compared with $3,123,000 of $5,325,000 at December 31, 2008. N. New Accounting Pronouncements On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FSP No. FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 amends SFAS No. 157 and provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset and liability have significantly decreased, as well as provides guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP No. FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position.  In February 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP 141(R)-1). This standard requires an asset or liability arising from a contingency in a business combination to be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If it cannot be reasonably determined, then the asset or liability will need to be recognized in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of the Loss. FSP 141(R)-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP 141(R)-1 is prospective and will impact the financial position and results of operations for acquisitions recorded after the date of adoption.   12  Item 2.      Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.  Forward Looking Statements Information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements. This information may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different than the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements, which involve assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words may, should, expect, anticipate, estimate, believe, intend or project or the negative of these words or other variations on these words or comparable terminology.   Results of Operations  Three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to three months ended March 31, 2008   Consolidated Revenues and Gross Margin  Consolidated revenues decreased by $2,241,000, or 22.9%, to $7,542,000 for the first quarter 2009 from $9,783,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  The decrease is due primarily to a general economic slowdown and a corresponding decrease in demand for the electronic components in which our products are used.  This has resulted in a decrease in foreign sales of $1,683,000 and a decrease in domestic sales of $558,000 over the comparable period in 2008. Under the leadership of its new Chief Operating Officer, the Company has recently increased its efforts to grow revenue in additional segments of the timing and frequency equipment market, such as alternative energy management, high-end server/SANs, energy exploration, military personnel protection and homeland security. The Company is expecting to partially weather the recessionary impact on its current customers and revenue base with additional revenues from growth in other industries.  Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter 2009 decreased to 21.9% from 26.9% for the comparable period in 2008.  This drop in gross margin is partially attributed to the overall slowdown in revenue combined with a minimum fixed cost infrastructure required to run the business at a reduced revenue volume. The Company has also undertaken a comprehensive resizing of its operations to realign its cost structure. This resizing program is expected to result in approximately $3 million of annualized cost savings, once fully implemented, which will partially offset the anticipated reduced revenue levels in all its domestic and foreign markets. At the same time, the resizing has resulted in near term cost increases to realign the manufacturing processes. This resizing is expected to improve the Companys gross margins beginning in fiscal 2010 despite a reduced level of revenues.  Operating Loss    Operating loss of $904,000 for the first quarter 2009 is an increased loss of $448,000 from the $456,000 operating loss for the comparable period in 2008.  This increase in operating loss can be primarily attributed to a 5.0% reduction in gross margin.  The increase in operating loss was partially offset by a decrease in engineering, selling and administrative expenses of $531,000 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The reduction in engineering, selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in head count, a decrease in professional fees, and a decrease in the cost of continuing to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Company expects its new sales focus combined with its resizing efforts to result in better operating performance in future quarters.   13  Other Income (Expenses)  Net interest expense for the first quarter 2009 was $89,000, compared with $63,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  The increase in interest expense was primarily due to an increase in the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the first quarter of 2009 compared to the comparable period in 2008.  In the first quarter of 2009, the Company recognized $9,000 in other income, compared with other expense of $22,000 for the comparable period in 2008. The difference is primarily related to the remeasurement income (expense) the Company has recognized due to the changing exchange rates associated with one of the Companys foreign subsidiaries.  Income Taxes  The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, which includes all subsidiaries.  The income tax benefit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009 included foreign taxes.  The provision gives effect to our estimated tax liability at the end of the year. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns, we continue to record a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, except for the Companys $111,000 in AMT deferred tax assets, which do not expire.    Net Loss  Net loss for the first quarter 2009 was $954,000 compared to net loss of $590,000 for the comparable period in 2008.  This increase in net loss can be primarily attributed to a 5.0% reduction in gross margin.  The increase in net loss was partially offset by a decrease in engineering, selling and administrative expenses of $531,000 in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.  The reduction in engineering, selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by a decrease in head count, a decrease in professional fees, and a decrease in the cost of continuing to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Company expects its new revenues focus combined with its resizing efforts to result in improved operating results in future quarters.     Liquidity and Capital Resources  The Companys cash and cash equivalents and the investment in marketable security at March 31, 2009 was $5,497,000 as compared to $5,339,000 at December 31, 2008. MtronPTI had unused borrowing capacity of $4,117,000 under MtronPTIs revolving line of credit at March 31, 2009, as compared to $2,751,000 at December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009, MtronPTI had $1,383,000 outstanding under its revolving loan, compared with $2,749,000 at December 31, 2008.  At March 31, 2009, the Companys net working capital was $8,858,000 as compared to $9,683,000 at December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009, the Company had current assets of $15,227,000 and current liabilities of $6,369,000. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 2.39 to 1.00 at March 31, 2009, compared to 2.26 to 1.00 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in net working capital is primarily due to the decrease in the Companys accounts receivable balance and a decrease in the outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility.  Cash provided by operating activities was $1,721,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to cash used in operating activities from operations of $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in cash provided by operating activities is due to the net decrease in the accounts receivable balance representing a net change in the outstanding accounts receivable balance for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from the collection of accounts receivable of $2,350,000, compared to a net collection of accounts receivable of $237,000 during the comparable period in 2008.   14  Cash used in investing activities from operations was $116,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as the Company continues to invest in new equipment.  Cash used in financing activities from operations was $1,449,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared with cash provided by financing activities of $489,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.  The increase in cash used in financing activities is due primarily to an increase in net repayments on the Companys note payable for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $1,366,000 compared to a net borrowing of $586,000 during the comparable period in 2008.  At March 31, 2009, total liabilities of $9,961,000 was $1,359,000 less than the total liabilities at December 31, 2008 of $11,320,000. The debt decreased due to the decrease in MtronPTIs borrowing on its revolving loan, which was in addition to a decrease in term loans outstanding due to scheduled repayments.  At March 31, 2009, the Company had $382,000 in current maturities of long-term debt compared with $397,000 at December 31, 2008.  The decrease in consolidated current maturities of long-term debt was in addition to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $156,000.  The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and available borrowings on its revolver, will be sufficient to meet its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. Our credit facilities include a revolving credit facility that currently terminates on June 30, 2009 and a term loan with an October 1, 2010 maturity date.  At May 19, 2009, there was $1,902,000 of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $2,790,000 principal amount of indebtedness under the term loan.  We will need to renew or replace such credit facilities as they expire or if they otherwise become unavailable, and we may require additional financing in order to fund our operations.  We may be unable to renew our existing credit facilities, find replacement facilities, or obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which may result in delays in payments to our vendors and in our ordinary measures to repair, replace or improve upon existing infrastructure, and may cause our customers to lose confidence in our ability to supply high-quality products in a timely manner.  On October 14, 2004, MtronPTI, entered into the FNBO Loan Agreement.  The FNBO Loan Agreement provides for a short-term credit facility of up to $5,500,000, the FNBO Revolving Loan.  The provisions of the FNBO Revolving Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  The principal balance of the FNBO Revolving Loan currently bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1% (not to go below 4.00%), with interest only payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due on June 30, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, the amount outstanding under the revolving credit loan was $1,383,000.  The Company had $4,117,000 of unused borrowing capacity under its revolving line of credit at March 31, 2009, compared to $2,751,000 at December 31, 2008. The FNBO Loan Agreement also provides for a term loan in the original principal amount of $2,000,000, the FNBO Term Loan.  The provisions of the FNBO Term Loan were subsequently amended, most recently on June 30, 2008.  Under such amendment, the original principal amount of the FNBO Term Loan was approximately $1,410,000, and the principal balance bears interest at 30-day LIBOR plus 2.1%, with principal and interest payments due monthly and the final payment of principal and interest due January 24, 2013. The FNBO Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) tangible net worth of not less than $7.0 million, (ii) a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of not less than 1.5 to 1.0; (iii) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 2.75 to 1.0; and (iv) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0. At March 31, 2009, the Companys subsidiary MtronPTI was not in compliance with the tangible net worth covenant ($6.9 million in tangible net worth vs. the minimum requirement of $7.0 million) and the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant (0.52 to 1.0 fixed charge ratio vs. the minimum requirement of 1.2 to 1.0).  FNBO has agreed to waive non-compliance with those covenants for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, provided that (i) the Company making a cash infusion to MtronPTI for the repayment of $1.0 million of the amount outstanding under  15  the FNBO Revolving Loan and (ii) a freeze on all payments from MtronPTI to the Company (including, but not limited to, interest payments and management fees) until MtronPTI is in full compliance with those covenants. FNBO also agreed to amend the FNBO Loan Agreement to (i) allow the $1.0 million cash infusion to be included in the numerator of the fixed charge coverage ratio for future calculations and (ii) provide that if MtronPTI is not in compliance with the covenants at the subsequent quarterly testing dates, MtronPTI will have 45 days from the end of such quarter to cure the default. The Company expects to finalize the amendments with FNBO shortly.  The Company expects that, with these amendments and based on its current covenant compliance projections, MtronPTI will be in compliance with the FNBO Loan Agreement covenants at each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010. All outstanding obligations under the FNBO Loan Agreement are guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the FNBO Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a separate interest rate swap agreement with FNBO from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 5.60% through the term of the FNBO Term Loan. The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with SFAS 133.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2009 is ($50,000) net of any tax effect, and is included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect. On September 30, 2005, MtronPTI entered into a loan agreement (the RBC Loan Agreement) with RBC, which provides for a loan in the original principal amount of $3,040,000 (the RBC Term Loan).  The RBC Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR Base Rate plus 2.75% and is being repaid in monthly installments based on a 20 year amortization, with the then remaining principal balance and interest due on the fifth anniversary of the RBC Loan Agreement. The RBC Loan Agreement contains a variety of affirmative and negative covenants, including, but not limited to, financial covenants that MtronPTI maintain: (i) a ratio of total liabilities to tangible net worth of not greater than 4.0 to 1.0; (ii) tangible net worth of at least $4.2 million; and (iii) a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.2 to 1.0. At March 31, 2009, the Companys subsidiary MtronPTI was not in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant (0.52 to 1.0 fixed charge coverage ratio vs. the minimum requirement of 1.2 to 1.0).  RBC has agreed to waive non-compliance with that covenant for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, contingent upon (i) the repayment by the Company on behalf of MtronPTI of $400,000 of the amount outstanding under the RBC Term Loan on or before May 31, 2009, (ii) a freeze on all payments from MtronPTI to the Company (including, but not limited to, interest payments and management fees) until MtronPTI is in full compliance with that covenant and (iii)  RBCs receipt of an updated appraisal of certain of MtronPTIs property securing obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement, which appraisal may necessitate an additional repayment under the RBC Term Loan in order to maintain a loan-to-value ratio acceptable to RBC. RBC also agreed to amend the RBC Loan Agreement to (i) allow the $1,000,000 cash infusion to MtronPTI for the partial repayment under the FNBO Revolving Loan to be included in the numerator of the fixed charge coverage ratio for calculations on each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010, (ii) increase the amount required under the tangible net worth covenant from $4.2 million to $7.0 million (in line with the tangible net worth covenant under the FNBO Loan Agreement) and (iii) provide that if MtronPTI is not in compliance with the covenants at any quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010, MtronPTI will have 45 days from the end of such quarter to cure the default. The Company expects to finalize the amendments with RBC shortly. The Company expects that, with these amendments and based on its current covenant compliance projections, MtronPTI will be in compliance with the RBC Loan Agreement covenants at each quarterly testing date through March 31, 2010. All outstanding obligations under the RBC Loan Agreement are collateralized by security interests in the assets of MtronPTI and guaranteed by the Company. In connection with the RBC Term Loan, MtronPTI entered into a five-year interest rate swap from which it receives periodic payments at the LIBOR Base Rate and makes periodic payments at a fixed rate of 7.51% with monthly settlement and rate reset dates.  The Company has designated this swap as a cash flow hedge in accordance with SFAS 133.  The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2009 is ($169,000) net of any tax effect, and is  16  included in other accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The change in fair value is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of any tax effect.      Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements   The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.            Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.  Not applicable.  Item 4. Controls and Procedures.   Disclosure Controls and Procedures  Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) -15(e)) are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a public company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Disclosure controls and procedures include many aspects of internal control over financial reporting.  Based on their evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2009.  The Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting related to information technology applications and infrastructure.  Specifically, the Company lacked effective controls in the following areas:  · System and Program Change Management  The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls to ensure that all information technology program and data changes were authorized, developer access to the production environment was limited, and that all program and data changes were adequately tested for accuracy and appropriate implementation.  · Logical Access to Programs and Data  The Company did not maintain effectively designed controls to prevent unauthorized access to certain programs and data, and allow for periodic review and monitoring of access including reviews of security logs and analysis of segregation of duties conflicts.  Managements Plans for Remediation of Remaining Material Weakness  Management has made significant progress in the implementation of a remediation plan to address the material weaknesses identified as of December 31, 2007.  The Company implemented controls and procedures that addressed and corrected the previously reported control deficiencies related to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting with respect to inadequate entity-level controls, enterprise-wide risk oversight, financial statement close and reporting process and inventory controls.  The primary changes made by the Company were (i) hiring a new Chief Financial Officer and a new Corporate Controller with accounting, internal control and financial reporting expertise, (ii) engaging external consultants to assist in reviewing and assessing our internal controls with regards to their effectiveness with the intent of improving the design and operating effectiveness of the controls and processes in place, (iii) improving the documentation of implemented controls and procedures and their respective reviews and approvals, and (iv) regularly identifying and communicating in a timely manner to the responsible personnel across the Company changes to its compliance program and actively following up on their appropriate implementation.   17  Since March 31, 2009, the Company has continued to implement process changes to address the remaining material weakness described above.  Among other things, the Company has upgraded its servers and other hardware, upgraded its software systems to minimize exposure to unauthorized code changes, and upgraded software regarding security access and protection.  As of May 12, 2009, the Company has implemented controls and procedures that management believes are sufficient to remediate the remaining material weaknesses identified above.  Additionally, the Company is planning to develop and implement a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system solution to further improve its information technology internal controls.  The new ERP system will assist management in accumulating, extracting and analyzing data in a more timely and cost-effective manner in making operating decisions.  Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting  Other than the change described above, there were no changes in the Companys internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls, during the Companys first quarter ended March 31, 2009, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.   18  PART II OTHER INFORMATION  Item 1. Legal Proceedings.   None Item 1A. Risk Factors. The current severe worldwide economic slowdown may negatively affect our sales and the business of our suppliers, which would materially adversely affect our profitability and revenue growth. Our revenue and profitability depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for the electronic components in which our products are used.  Economic weakness and constrained spending in the electronics industry may result in severe business downturns or interruptions for our customers.  As a result, we may experience decreased revenue and extraordinary price pressure from our customers, negatively affecting our margins and profitability. Our revenue and profitability also depend on the business of our suppliers.  Economic weakness affecting our suppliers may make them unable or unwilling to continue supplying us with components and materials at reasonable prices or at all, requiring us to use additional resources to find alternative sources of components and materials.  As a result, we may experience increased expenses, negatively affecting our margins and profitability. We will need to renew or replace our existing credit facilities and may need to raise additional capital in order to fund our operations, which may be especially difficult in the current economic environment. Our credit facilities include a revolving credit facility that currently terminates on June 30, 2009 and a term loan with an October 1, 2010 maturity date.  At May 19, 2009, there was $1,902,000 of indebtedness outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $2,790,000 principal amount of indebtedness under the term loan.  We will need to renew or replace such credit facilities as they expire or if they otherwise become unavailable, and we may require additional financing in order to fund our operations.  We may be unable to renew our existing credit facilities, find replacement facilities, or obtain additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all, which may result in delays in payments to our vendors and in our ordinary measures to repair, replace or improve upon existing infrastructure, and may cause our customers to lose confidence in our ability to supply high-quality products in a timely manner. Recently, the capital and credit markets have become increasingly tight as a result of adverse economic conditions.  If such conditions persist and funds are not readily available, it is likely that our ability to access capital and credit markets will remain limited.  In addition, if current global economic conditions persist for an extended period of time or worsen substantially, our business may suffer in a manner that could cause us to fail to satisfy the financial and other restrictive covenants to which we are subject under our existing credit facilities. Under certain of our existing credit facilities, we are required to obtain the lenders consent for most additional debt financing, potentially making it more difficult for us to obtain such financing. We will need to obtain additional waivers under and/or amend the terms of certain of our existing credit facilities in order to permit continuing compliance with the terms of such credit facilities. As of March 31, 2009, MtronPTI was not in compliance with certain financial covenants under the FNBO Loan Agreement and the RBC Loan Agreement.  We have received waivers from FNBO and RBC with respect to such financial covenants through June 30, 2009.  We will need to obtain additional waivers under and/or enter into amendments to the FNBO Loan Agreement and the RBC Loan Agreement in order to permit continuing compliance with the terms of such agreements.  19  We found material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009. As disclosed in Part II, Item 9A(T), Controls and Procedures, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, and updated herein in Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures, of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December 31, 2008 and not effective as of March 31, 2009.  Our failure to successfully implement our plans to remediate the material weaknesses discovered could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, to produce timely and reliable financial information, and to effectively prevent fraud.  Additionally, such failures could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition and stock price.  Item 6.
