PART I


Item 1.
Business





General





Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (“Espey”) is a power electronics design and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) company with a long history of developing and delivering highly reliable products for use in military and severe environment applications. All design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in our 150,000+ square foot facility located at 233 Ballston Ave, Saratoga Springs, New York. Espey is classified as a “smaller reporting company” for purposes of the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  Espey’s common stock is publicly-traded on the NYSE-Amex under the symbol “ESP.”





Espey began operations after incorporation in New York in 1928.  We strive to remain competitive as a leader in high power energy conversion and transformer solutions through the design and manufacture of new and improved products by using advanced and “cutting edge” electronics technologies.





Espey is ISO 9001:2008 certified and our primary products are power supplies, power converters, filters, power transformers, magnetic components, power distribution equipment, ups systems, antennas and high power radar systems. The applications of these products include AC and DC locomotives, shipboard power, shipboard radar, airborne power, ground-based radar, and ground mobile power.





Espey services include design and development to specification, build to print, design services, design studies, environmental testing services, metal fabrication, plating and painting services, and development of automatic testing equipment. Espey manufacturing is vertically integrated, meaning that the Company produces individual components (including inductors), populates printed circuit boards, fabricates metalwork, paints, plates, wires, qualifies, and fully tests items, mechanically, electrically and environmentally, in house.





Espey is on the eligible list of contractors with the United States Department of Defense and generally is automatically solicited by Defense Department procurement agencies for their needs falling within the major classes of products produced by the company. Espey contracts with the Federal Government under cage code 20950 as Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. and cage code 98675 as Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp., Saratoga Industries Division.





In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company's total sales were $28,900,013and $27,241,635, respectively. Sales to three customers accounted for 22%, 13% and 13% of total sales in 2010.  Sales to twocustomers accounted for 33% and 30% of total sales in 2009.





Export sales in 2010 and 2009 were approximately $5,324,000 and $4,691,000, respectively.





Sources of Raw Materials





The Company has never experienced any significant delay or shortage with respect to the purchase of raw materials and components used in the manufacture of its products, and has at least two potential sources of supply for a majority of its raw materials.  However, certain components used in our products are available from only a limited number of sources, and other components are only available from a single source.  Despite the risk associated with limited or single source suppliers, the benefits of higher quality goods and timely delivery minimize and often limit any potential risk and can eliminate problems with part failures during production.





Sales Backlog





At September 8, 2010, the Company's backlog was approximately $31million. The total backlog at June 30, 2010 was approximately $31 million compared to approximately $39.1 million at June 30, 2009. The Company’s total backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts.  The Company's backlog and risks associated with government contracts is discussed in greater detail in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in Item 6 below.





It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $25 million of orders comprising the June 30, 2010 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The minimum of $25 million does not include any shipments, which may be made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The estimate of the June 30, 2010 backlog to be shipped in fiscal 2011 is subject to future events, which may cause the amount of the backlog actually shipped to differ from such estimate.





3





Marketing and Competition





The Company markets its products primarily through its own direct sales organization. Business is solicited from large industrial manufacturers and defense companies, the government of the United States, foreign governments and major foreign electronic equipment companies.  In some cases external sales representatives help solicit and coordinate foreign contracts. The Company is also on the eligible list of contractors of agencies of the United States Department of Defense and generally is automatically solicited by such agencies for procurement needs falling within the major classes of products produced by the Company.  In addition, the Company directly pursues opportunities from the United States Department of Defense as a prime contractor.





There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Company, ranging from divisions of the largest electronic companies to many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant share of the industry's market for any class of its products. The principal methods of competition for electronic products of both a military and industrial nature include, among other factors, price, product performance, the experience of the particular company and history of its dealings in such products. The Company, as well as other companies engaged in supplying equipment for military use, is subject to various risks, including, without limitation, dependence on the United States and foreign government appropriations and program allocations, the competition for available military business, and government termination of orders for convenience.





The Company's business is not considered to be seasonal.  Also, management believes that due to the nature of the Company's business, the Company will not be adversely affected by recessionary factors in the U.S. economy generally.





Research and Development





The Company's expenditures for research and development were approximately $50,166 and $40,678 in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Some of the Company's engineers and technicians spend varying degrees of time on either development of new products or improvements of existing products.  A majority of these expenditures relate to research that is required by Espey engineers to support a request for a quotation from a customer having a product-specific custom need usually associated with stringent size and weight requirements.





Employees





The Company had 166 employees as of September 8, 2010.  Some of these employees are represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local #1799. A new collective bargaining agreement was approved in June 2008.  The four-year agreement expires on June 30, 2012.  The contract includes pay increases of 4%, 3.75%, 3.75% and 4% for each year, respectively, of the four-year contract.  Relations with the Union are considered good. Union membership at September 8, 2010 was 69 people.





Government Regulations





Compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment, did not in fiscal year 2010, and the Company believes will not in fiscal year 2011, have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, net income, or competitive position of the Company.





The Company’s U.S. government contract and subcontract orders are funded by government budgets, which operate on an October-to-September fiscal year.  In February of each year, the President of the United States presents to Congress a proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year.  This budget includes recommended appropriations for every federal agency and is the result of months of policy and program reviews throughout the executive branch.  From February through September of each year, the appropriations and authorization committees of Congress review the President’s budget proposals and establish the funding levels for the upcoming fiscal year in appropriations and authorization legislation.  Once these levels are enacted into law, the Executive Office of the President administers the funds to the agencies.





There are two primary risks associated with this process.  First, the process may be delayed or disrupted because of congressional schedules, negotiations over funding levels for programs or unforeseen world events, which could, in turn, alter the funding for a program or contract.  Second, funding for multi-year contracts can be changed by future appropriations, which could affect the timing of funds, schedules and program content.





4





Also, our international sales are denominated in United States currency.  Consequently, changes in exchange rates that strengthen the United States dollar could increase the price in local currencies of our products in foreign markets and make our products relatively more expensive than competitors’ products.





U.S. Government Defense Contracts and Subcontracts





Generally, U.S. government contracts are subject to procurement laws and regulations.  Some of the Company’s contracts are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which lays out uniform policies and procedures for acquiring goods and services by the U.S. government, and agency-specific acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR.  For example, the Department of Defense implements the FAR through the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR).





The FAR also contains guidelines and regulations for managing a contract after award, including conditions under which contracts may be terminated, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience or for default.  If a contract is terminated for the convenience of the government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done.  If a contract is terminated for default, the government generally pays for only the work it has accepted.  These regulations also subject the company to financial audits and other reviews by the government of its costs, performance, accounting and general business practices relating to its contracts, which may result in adjustment of the company’s contract-related costs and fees.





Item 2.
Property





The Company's entire operation, including manufacturing and engineering facilities, is located in Saratoga Springs, New York.





The Saratoga Springs plant, which the Company owns, consists of various adjoining one-story buildings on a 22 acre site, approximately eight acres of which is unimproved.  The property is not subject to mortgage indebtedness or any other material encumbrance. The plant has a sprinkler system throughout and contains approximately 151,000 square feet of floor space, of which 90,000 is used for manufacturing, 24,000 for engineering, 33,000 for shipping and climatically secured storage, and 4,000 for offices. The offices, engineering and some manufacturing areas are air-conditioned. In addition to assembly and wiring operations, the plant includes facilities for varnishing, potting, plating, impregnation and spray-painting operations. The manufacturing operation also includes a complete machine shop, with welding and sheet metal fabrication facilities adequate for substantially all of the Company's current operations. Besides normal test equipment, the Company maintains a sophisticated on-site environmental test facility. In addition to meeting all of the Company's in-house needs, the plating, machine shop and environmental facilities are available to other companies on a contract basis.

Holders





The approximate number of holders of record of the common stock was 104 on September 8, 2010according to records of the Company's transfer agent. Included in this number are shares held in "nominee" or "street" name and, therefore, the number of beneficial owners of the common stock is believed to be substantially in excess of the foregoing number.





Dividends





The Company paid cash dividends on common stock of  $1.90 and $2.40 per share for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which included a special dividend of $1.00 and $1.50 per share during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The Board of Directors has authorized the payment of a fiscal 2011 first quarter dividend of $.225 payable September 24, 2010 to shareholders of record on September 3, 2010.





During fiscal 2010, the Company sold common stock to certain employees and directors as they exercised existing stock options granted under a shareholder approved plan.  During the year, 8,100 shares were sold at prices that ranged from $6.63 a share to $18.29 a share.  The securities were sold for cash.   Proceeds are used for general working capital purposes.





The Company did not make any open market purchases of equity securities in the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter.

Item 6.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations





Business Outlook





Management expects revenues in fiscal 2011 to remain in line with fiscal year 2010.  Expectations are for product mix and margins to remain favorable for fiscal year 2011.  During fiscal 2010 new orders received by the Company were approximately $21 million.  The order backlog of approximately $31 million at June 30, 2010 gives the Company a solid base of future sales.  It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $25 million of orders comprising the June 30, 2010 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. The minimum of $25 million does not include any shipments, which may be made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.





The backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts.  The funded portion of the backlog at June 30, 2010 is approximately $28 million. This includes items that have been authorized and appropriated by Congress and/or funded by the customer. The unfunded backlog is approximately $3 million at June 30, 2010, and represents a firm order for which funding has not yet been appropriated.  Effective August 5, 2010, the unfunded backlog became 100% funded.  While there is no guarantee that future budgets and appropriations will provide funding for a given program, management includes in unfunded backlog only those programs that it believes are likely to receive funding.  The unfunded backlog at June 30, 2009 was zero.





In addition to the backlog, the Company currently has outstanding quotations representing in excess of $41 million in the aggregate for both repeat and new programs.  Many potential orders are currently being discussed and negotiated with existing and potential new customers.  The outstanding quotations encompass various new and previously manufactured power supplies, transformers, and subassemblies.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any or all of the anticipated orders described above, many of which are subject to allocations of the United States defense spending and factors affecting the defense industry and military procurement generally.





Threesignificant customers in fiscal 2010 represented 48% of the Company's total sales and two significant customers in fiscal 2009 represented 63% of the Company's total sales.  These sales are in connection with multiyear programs which the Company is a significant subcontractor.  Historically, a small number of customers have accounted for a large percentage of the Company’s total sales in any given fiscal year.  Even though our business tends to be concentrated in several customers, the makeup of those customers often changes from year to year.  For several years, management has pursued opportunities with current and new customers with an overall objective of lowering the concentration of sales, mitigating excessive reliance upon a single major product of a particular program and minimizing the impact of the loss of a single significant customer.  Management continues to evaluate its business development functions and potential revised courses of action in order to diversify its customer base.  The defense industry itself tends to be concentrated with a few large tier one defense contractors which limits the amount of diversity the Company can achieve with its customer base.





Management, along with the Board of Directors, continues to evaluate the need and use of the Company’s working capital.  Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $500,000 for fiscal 2011.  Expectations are that the working capital will be required to fund orders, dividend payments, and general operations of the business.  From time to time, management along with the Mergers and Acquisitions Committee of the Board of Directors examine opportunities involving acquisitions or other strategic options, including buying certain products or product lines.  The criteria for consideration are synergies with the Company’s existing product base and accretion to earnings.





Results of Operations





Net Sales for fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, were $28,900,013 and $27,241,635, respectively, a 6% increase.  This increase can be attributed to the contract specific nature of the Company’s business and the timing of deliveries on these contracts.  More specifically, shipments of transformers increased by approximately $3.1 million in fiscal 2010.





For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 gross profits were $7,763,296 and $6,086,726, respectively.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 26.9% and 22.3%, for fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The primary factor in determining gross profit and net income is product mix.  The gross profits on mature products and build to print contracts are normally higher as compared to products that are still in the engineering development stage or in the early stages of production.  In any given accounting period the mix of product shipments between higher margin mature programs and less mature programs including loss contracts, has a significant impact on gross profit and net income.  The increased gross profit and gross profit percentage in fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009, was





7





primarily the result of favorable product mix with only minor cost overruns related to loss contracts.  For fiscal 2009 the Company had unexpected losses incurred on programs with significant engineering and production time required for design efforts.  These programs experienced significant cost overruns due to extended product qualification testing and difficulties moving the products from engineering design into full production.





In addition to favorable product mix, management is implementing several “lean management” principles which have created efficiencies in the manufacturing process.  These efficiencies have allowed for greater production capacity and increased gross profit.  Employment of full time equivalents at June 30, 2010 and 2009 was 169 people.





Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,006,517 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $179,841, or 6.4% as compared to the prior year.  The increase for fiscal 2010 relates primarily to an increase in salary expense and director fees offset by a decrease in consulting fees and health insurance.





Other income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $142,866 and $345,010, respectively.  The decrease is attributable to lower interest rates and resulting lower interest income on the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.The Company does not believe that there is a significant risk associated with its investment policy, since at June 30, 2010 all of the investments were primarily represented by short-term liquid investments including certificates of deposit and money market funds.





The effective income tax rate was 27.2% in fiscal 2010 and 24.2% in fiscal 2009.  The effective tax rate is less than the statutory tax rate mainly due to the benefit the Company receives on its “qualified production activities” under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the benefit derived from the ESOP dividends paid on allocated shares.





Net income for fiscal 2010, was $3,564,962 or $1.67 per share, both basic and diluted, compared to net income of $2,733,240 or $1.30 and $1.29 per share, basic and diluted, respectively, for fiscal 2009. The increase in net income per share was primarily due to higher sales, higher gross profit on sales, offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and decreased interest income.





Liquidity and Capital Resources





The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the liquidity of its business, and during the past two fiscal years, the Company, when possible, has funded all of its operations with cash flows resulting from operating activities and when necessary from its existing cash and investments. The Company did not borrow any funds during the last two fiscal years.





The Company's working capital as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $25,844,991 and $25,726,492, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 the Company repurchased 23,513 and 19,899 shares, respectively, of its common stock for a total purchase price of $452,155 and $311,545, respectively.  All shares were purchased from the Company's ESOP.  Under existing authorizations from the Company's Board of Directors, as of June 30, 2010, management is authorized to purchase an additional $1,236,300 million of Company stock.





The table below presents the summary of cash flow information for the fiscal year indicated:





2010


2009Net cash provided by operating activities

6,904,771

)


731,666Net cash used in financing activities


(4,034,341
)


(5,193,036
)





Net cash provided by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in net income, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, level of sales and payments of accounts payable.  Net cash used in investing activities increasedin fiscal 2010due to increased purchases, net of maturities, of short term investments and property plant and equipment during the period.  The decrease in cash used in financing activities is due primarily to a decrease in the dividends on common stock.





The Company currently believes that the cash flow generated from operations and when necessary, from cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding requirements for the foreseeable future.





Management believes that the Company's reserve for bad debts of $3,000 is adequate given the customers with whom the Company does business. Historically, bad debt expense has been minimal.





8





During fiscal year 2010 and fiscal 2009, the Company expended $436,502 and $280,790, respectively, for plant improvements and new equipment. The Company has budgeted approximately $500,000 for new equipment and plant improvements in fiscal 2011. Management anticipates that the funds required will be available from current operations.





Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates





Our significant accounting policies are described in note 2 to the financial statements.  We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and cost estimation on our contracts.





Revenue Recognition and Estimates





A significant portion of our business is comprised of development and production contracts.  Generally revenues on long-term fixed-price contracts are recorded on a percentage of completion basis using units of delivery as the measurement basis for progress toward completion.





Percentage of completion accounting requires judgment relative to expected sales, estimating costs and making assumptions related to technical issues and delivery schedules.  Contract costs include material, subcontract costs, labor and an allocation of overhead costs.  The estimation of cost at completion of a contract is subject to numerous variables involving contract costs and estimates as to the length of time to complete the contract.  Given the significance of the estimation processes and judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of expected sales and contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on changes in circumstances, in the estimation process.  When a change in expected sales value or estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in current period earnings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM






To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of


Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.


Saratoga Springs, New York




As successor by merger, effective October 1, 2009, to the registered public accounting firm Rotenberg & Co., LLP, we have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2010. Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.




We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.




In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. as of June 30, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements





Note 1. Nature of operations





Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (the Company) is a manufacturer of electronic equipment used primarily in military and industrial applications. The principal markets for the Company's products are companies that provide electronic support to both military and industrial applications.





Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies





Inventory Valuation, Cost Estimation and Revenue Recognition


Raw materials are valued at weighted average cost.





Inventoried work relating to contracts in process and work in process is valued at actual production cost, including factory overhead incurred to date. Work in process represents spare units; parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to service units previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. The cost elements of contracts in process and work in process consist of production costs of goods and services currently in process and overhead. Provision for losses on contracts is made when the existence of such losses becomes probable and estimable. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months.





Revenue is recognized on contracts in the period in which the units are delivered and billed (units-of-delivery method).  A significant portion of our business is comprised of development and production contracts.  Generally, revenues on long-term fixed-price contracts are recorded on a percentage of completion basis using units of delivery as the measurement basis for progress toward completion.





Percentage of completion accounting requires judgment relative to expected sales, estimating costs and making assumptions related to technical issues and delivery schedules.  Contract costs include material, subcontract costs, labor and an allocation of overhead costs.  The estimation of cost at completion of a contract is subject to numerous variables involving contract costs and estimates as to the length of time to complete the contract.  Given the significance of the estimation processes and judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of expected sales and contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on changes in circumstances, in the estimation process.  When a change in expected sales value or estimated cost is determined, changes are reflected in current period earnings.





Depreciation


Depreciation of plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets.





Estimated useful lives of depreciable assets are as follows:





Buildings and improvements
10 – 35 yearsMachinery and equipment
3 - 20 yearsFurniture and fixtures
5 – 10 years





Income Taxes


The Company follows the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, "Accounting for Income Taxes."





Under the provisions of ASC 740-10, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred taxes and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.  In addition, ASC 740-10 requires that the tax benefit of tax-deductible dividends on unallocated ESOP shares be recorded as a direct addition to retained earnings rather than as a reduction of income tax expense.





17





Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.


Notes to Financial Statements





Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued





Cash and Cash Equivalents


Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks, certificates of deposit, and money market funds.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.





Short-term investments include certificates of deposit with maturities greater than three months to a year.





Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts


The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business and collateral is generally not required for trade receivables. Exposure to credit risk is controlled through the use of credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. Accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates the allowance based on its analysis of specific balances. An account is generally considered past due after thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Based on these factors, there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,000 at June 30, 2010. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.





Per Share Amounts


ASC 260-10 “Earnings Per Share” requires the Company to calculate net income (loss) per share based on basic and diluted net income (loss) per share, as defined.  Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.  The dilutive effect of outstanding options issued by the Company are reflected in diluted EPS using the treasury stock method.  Under the treasury stock method, options will only have a dilutive effect when the average market price of common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options.





Comprehensive Income


Comprehensive Income for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is equal to net income.





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 amount 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.





Investment Tax Credits


Investment tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income tax expense in the year taxes payable are reduced.





Reclassifications


Certain reclassifications may have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.





Recently Issued Accounting Standards


In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC Topic 105-10-05, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Under the provisions ASC Topic 105-10-05, the Codification will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. The rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of the federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of ASC Topic 105-10-05, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.  The provisions of ASC Topic 105-10-05 are effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ended after September 15, 2009.  Adoption of ASC Topic 105-10-05 had no effect on the company's financial statements.





18








Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.


Notes to Financial Statements





Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued





In September 2009, the FASB issued ASC 605-25 for revenue recognition with multiple deliverables. These new standards impact the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally, these new standards modify the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating arrangement consideration. These new standards are effective in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, however early adoption is permitted.  Adoption will have no effect on the Company’s financial statements.





Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


Long-lived assets, including property, plant, and equipment, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and no longer depreciated.  The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet





Concentrations of Risk


The market for our defense electronics products is largely dependent on the availability of new contracts from the United States and foreign governments to prime contractors to which we provide components.  Any decline in expenditures by the United States or foreign governments may have an adverse effect on our financial performance.





Generally, U.S. government contracts are subject to procurement laws and regulations.  Some of the Company’s contracts are governed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which lays out uniform policies and procedures for acquiring goods and services by the U.S. government, and agency-specific acquisition regulations that implement or supplement the FAR.  For example, the Department of Defense implements the FAR through the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFAR).





The FAR also contains guidelines and regulations for managing a contract after award, including conditions under which contracts may be terminated, in whole or in part, at the government’s convenience or for default.  If a contract is terminated for the convenience of the government, a contractor is entitled to receive payments for its allowable costs and, in general, the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work done.  If a contract is terminated for default, the government generally pays for only the work it has accepted.  These regulations also subject the Company to financial audits and other reviews by the government of its costs, performance, accounting and general business practices relating to its contracts, which may result in adjustment of the Company’s contract-related costs and fees.





Note 3. Contracts in Process





Contracts in process at June 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Depreciation expense was $455,592 and $488,461, during the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Note 5. Pension Expense





Under terms of a negotiated union contract, the Company is obligated to make contributions to a union-sponsored defined benefit pension plan covering eligible employees. Such contributions and expenses are based upon hours worked at a specified rate and amounted to $102,414 in fiscal 2010 and $95,711 in fiscal 2009.





The Company sponsors a 401(k) plan with employee and employer matching contributions.  The employer match is 10% of the employee contribution and was $34,462 and $31,647, for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively.





Note 6. Provision for Income Taxes





A summary of the components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of "temporary differences" between the amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts measured by tax laws and regulations. These "temporary differences" are determined in accordance with ASC 740-10.





The combined U.S. federal and state effective income tax rates of 27.2% and 24.2%, for 2010 and 2009 respectively, differed from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate for the following reasons:

For the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 deferred income tax expense (benefit) of $23,643 and $(88,305), respectively, result from the changes in temporary differences for each year.  The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 are presented as follows:

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projection for future taxable income over the period in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these temporary differences without consideration of a valuation allowance.





As the result of the implementation of the FASB interpretation ASC 740-10, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of ASC 740, the Company recognized no material adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits.  At the adoption date of July 1, 2007, and as of June 30, 2010, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits.





The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in general and administrative expense.  As of June 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded any provision for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.





By statute, tax years ending June 30, 2010, 2009,  2008, and 2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.





Note 7. Significant Customers





A significant portion of the Company's business is the production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S. and foreign governments and certain industrial customers. Sales to two domestic customers and one foreign customer accounted for 22% and 13% and 13%, respectively, of total sales in fiscal 2010.  Sales to two domestic customers accounted for 33% and 30% of total sales in fiscal 2009.





Export sales in fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 were approximately $5,324,000 and $4,691,000, respectively.





Note 8. Stock Rights Plan





The Company has a Shareholder Rights Plan that expires on December 31, 2019. Under this plan, common stock purchase rights were distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock outstanding as of or issued subsequent to April 14, 1989. Each right entitles the holder thereof to buy one-half share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $25 per share subject to adjustment. The rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the offeror individually or, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock.

Note 8. Stock Rights Plan, Continued





If a 15% or larger shareholder should engage in certain self-dealing transactions or a merger with the Company in which the Company is the surviving corporation and its shares of common stock are not changed or converted into equity securities of any other person, or if any person were to become the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock, then each right not owned by such shareholder or related parties of such shareholder (all of which will be void) will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of the Company's common stock having a value of twice the right's exercise price. In addition, if the Company is involved in any other merger or consolidation with, or sells 50% or more of its assets or earning power to another person, each right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the right's then current exercise price, shares of common stock of such other person having a value of twice the right's exercise price.





The Company generally is entitled to redeem the rights at one cent per right at any time until the 15th day (or 25th day if extended by the Company's Board of Directors) following public announcement that a 15% position has been acquired or the commencement of a tender or exchange offer which, if consummated, would result in the offer or, together with all affiliates and associates thereof, being the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the Company's common stock.





Note 9. Employee Stock Ownership Plan





The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the "ESOP") that covers all nonunion employees who work 1,000 or more hours per year and are employed on June 30.  The Company makes annual contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP.  All dividends on unallocated shares received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service.  Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings.  As the debt is repaid, shares are released and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year.  The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6.  Accordingly, the shares purchased by the ESOP are reported as Unearned ESOP Shares in the statement of financial position.  As shares are released or committed-to-be-released, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current average market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share (EPS) computations.  ESOP compensation expense was $417,541 for the year ended June 30, 2010 and $416,272 for the year ended June 30, 2009.  The ESOP shares as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

Note 10. Stock-based Compensation





The Company follows ASC 718 in establishing standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, as well as transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that maybe settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the share-based payment.  ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.





Total stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Statement of Income for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, was $94,423 and $109,921, respectively, before income taxes.  The related total deferred tax benefit was approximately $8,144 and $9,683, for the same periods.  ASC 718 requires the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options to be classified and reported as both an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow on a prospective basis upon adoption.

Note 10. Stock-based Compensation, Continued





As of June 30, 2010, there was approximately $27,564 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards that is expected to be recognized as expense over the next 1.25 years.  The total deferred tax benefit related to these awards is approximately $2,372.





The Company has one employee stock option plan under which options may be granted, the 2007 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2007 Plan"). The Board of Directors may grant options to acquire shares of common stock to employees of the Company at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  Generally, options granted have a two-year vesting period based on two years of continuous service and have a ten-year contractual life.  Option grants provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control.  Shares issued upon the exercise of options are from those held in Treasury.  The 2007 Plan was approved by the Company's shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting on November 30, 2007 and supercedes the Company's 2000 Stock Option Plan (the "2000 Plan").  Options covering 400,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan, and 60,800  have been granted and are outstanding as of June 30, 2010.  While no further grants of options may be made under the 2000 Plan, as of June 30, 2010, 66,800 options remain outstanding, vested and exercisable from the 2000 Plan.





ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including those for volatility, expected life and interest rates.





The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions that the Company used to calculate the fair value of each option award for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:

The Company pays dividends quarterly and anticipates that it will be able to continue to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options. The expected option life (in years) represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on actual historical experience.

Note 11. Financial Instruments/Concentration of Credit Risk





The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of June 30, 2010 and 2009 because of the relatively short maturities of these instruments.





Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with various financial institutions. At times such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. As disclosed in note 7, a significant portion of the Company's business is the production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S. and foreign governments and certain industrial customers. The related accounts receivable balance, as a percentage of the Company's total trade accounts receivable balance, was 55% represented by three customers at June 30, 2010, and 79%, by four customers at June 30, 2009.





Although the Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of these concentrated balances is affected by the conditions or occurrences within the U.S. and foreign governments, the Company believes that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customer's financial conditions and requires collateral, such as progress payments, in certain circumstances. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.





Note 12. Related Parties










Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies





The Company at certain times enters into standby letters of credit agreements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts.  Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letters of credit agreements aggregated to zero at June 30, 2010 and 2009.

These options were excluded because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive due to the average strike price exceeding the average market price of those shares.

Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Controls and Procedures





(a) The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on such evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.





(b) There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.





Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





Management of our Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.





Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.





Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation using the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2010.





This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Our report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
