Our Business Segments



Private Wireless Communications



Through EFJohnson, our private wireless communications division segment, we design, develop, market and support wireless radios and wireless
communications infrastructures and systems. Our wireless offerings are primarily digital solutions designed to operate in both analog and digital wireless radio system environments. Our products and systems are based on the Project 25 industry
standard and utilize Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and are designed to enhance interoperability among systems, improve bandwidth efficiency, and integrate voice and data communications. We sell private wireless
communications products and systems primarily to domestic governmental entities, such as the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, as well as state and local governmental agencies.



3



---

We also have significant license rights that allow us to sell private wireless communications products
that are compatible with the large installed base of analog wireless radios, infrastructure and proprietary systems as well as networks that will utilize the next generation of public safety technology. We believe there is a strong commitment by the
federal government to improve homeland security by providing first responders with secure and interoperable communications. Government agencies are currently mandating secure and interoperable compliant digital wireless communications systems to
replace the existing proprietary analog systems. We understand that the federal government, which typically provides the funding for such wireless systems, and to a lesser extent, state governmental agencies, has made appropriations for such future
systems a top priority.



Secured Communications



Through 3eTI, which
we acquired on July 10, 2006, also in our secured communications division, we design, develop, market and support wireless networking solutions that are customized to a clients security challenges and voice, video and data communication
needs. The company designs and manufactures secure Wi-Fi products, including mesh network, access point, bridge, and client products, as well as security software. We also provide sensor networking solutions, through our InfoMatics® middleware, which enables sensors and databases to communicate data to pertinent personnel for command and control applications in near real-time. All 3eTI products are integrated into
solutions that get information to essential users so they may securely, reliably and cost-effectively utilize communications to meet Federal and military customers force protection/anti-terrorism mission requirements and corporate needs. 3eTI
specializes in secure government wireless broadband solutions and has achieved many firsts in wireless technology, including the first validated Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 Layer 2 access point. In 2006, 3eTI
became the first wireless supplier to receive National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Evaluation Assurance Level 2 Common Criteria Validation (Common Criteria) for its wireless LAN access point and client software.



Through Transcrypt, one of our secured communications division
subsidiaries, we design, develop, market and support secured communications encryption technologies for analog wireless radios. Our secured communications segment leverages our leading market position to gain new customers in parts of the world
where wireless radio systems remain analog, security needs are high, and the cost to upgrade to a digital secured communications system is prohibitive. Our secured communications products are sold as aftermarket add-on components or embedded
components for existing analog radios and systems. Terrorist threats, political unrest and military conflicts drive the need for more secured communications. We are developing other solutions, such as our digital encryption product for certain
analog and digital wireless radios, to obtain higher levels of security and that allows for compatibility with our analog encryption product line.



Industry



Private Wireless Communications



Background



In the mid-1930s, police
departments began using wireless radio systems to enable immediate communication between headquarters and patrolling officers. Historically, a local municipality would procure a proprietary wireless system that met the needs of its municipal police
organization with little concern if it was interoperable with other local private wireless systems. The public safety and public service market for wireless communications evolved with agencies purchasing disparate systems. As a result, the private
wireless communications market for domestic public safety and public service agencies has a large installed base of proprietary analog radios and infrastructure.



The federal government allocates certain RF spectrum specifically to ensure critical and secure communications for first
responders and other government users. Unlike the cellular market, governmental entities are not required to purchase licensed spectrum. Governmental entities purchase private wireless products and systems for their own use and do not pay ongoing
monthly services or airtime fees.



4



---

The private wireless communications industry provides two-way wireless communications through wireless
networks, which include infrastructure components such as base stations, transmitters and receivers, network switches and portable and mobile two-way communication radios. Individual users operate portable hand-held radios and vehicular mounted
radios in the private wireless communications system. Utilizing free licensed RF spectrum, the user owns and operates the private wireless communications system, which is networked by linking the infrastructure components together. Users often
require solutions that integrate their existing private wireless communication radios and systems with enterprise wide applications.



Earlier wireless communications devices utilized conventional systems. Conventional systems use a single channel to transmit and receive information. All
users have unrestricted access, and the user must monitor the system and wait until the channel is unoccupied to make a call. The technology later evolved to what is now referred to as a trunked system. Trunked systems combine multiple channels so
that an unoccupied channel is automatically selected when a user begins transmitting, allowing for increased usage of the same amount of licensed radio spectrum. With the development of digital wireless radios and trunked systems, the industry has a
choice between conventional and trunked systems. The availability of new features, channel allocations and available frequency band is driving many customers to trunked technology. More recently, private wireless manufacturers developed spectrally
efficient or narrow bandwidth, digital communications devices.



Technological developments have enabled wireless radio systems to be networked, permitting multiple sites between users to be linked together through a switch to provide extended geographic coverage. More recent technology provides for the
interconnection between users to be accomplished over digital packet-based networks using VoIP. Wireless communications networking technology continues to evolve as public users demand greater integrated voice and data capabilities.



Technical Standards



Many federal, state
and local agencies operate wireless radio equipment that complies with specifications established by the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials International, Inc. (APCO). APCO is the worlds largest not-for-profit
professional organization dedicated to the enhancement of public safety communications. APCO has more than 16,000 members around the world, and it serves the people who manage, operate, maintain, and supply the communications systems used to
safeguard the lives and property of citizens. The APCO 16 standard, established in 1979, includes recommendations for 800 MHz transmissions, analog voice modulations and trunking functions for use of the RF spectrum. However, the APCO 16
recommendations permitted development of proprietary systems. As a result, three proprietary APCO 16 technologies evolved in the market, Motorolas SmartNet®/SmartZone®, TYCO Internationals EDACS®, and our Multi-Net®, with Motorola
establishing the dominant market position. The establishment of proprietary systems effectively limited competition severely hampering interoperability and market choice. Consequently, APCO focused on a more comprehensive standard that would
emphasize interoperability.



In 1995, APCO promulgated a new
recommended standard known as Project 25. Project 25 specifies features and signaling for narrow band digital voice and data with conventional and trunking modes of operation. The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA),
participated in the development of these standards, following an industry-sanctioned accredited process. Project 25 was structured to specify details of fundamental wireless radio communications to allow multi-source procurement and interoperability
of Project 25 systems.



The Project 25 standard has been
adopted by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) of the Department of Commerce. NTIA controls wireless radio specifications for the federal government and has specified a conversion to narrowband by
February 17, 2009. Several U.S. government agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Interior, Justice and Treasury, have specified a Project 25 requirement for procurements of new wireless radio equipment. Although,
state and local public safety agencies are not currently required by the FCC or NTIA to purchase Project 25 compliant wireless radio systems or otherwise adopt the Project 25 standard, Project 25 compatibility is a key purchasing factor for state
and local public safety and public service wireless radio buyers. Due to the FCC mandate for narrowband communications, the demand for Project 25 wireless radio systems is expected to significantly increase.



5



---

During 2005, the FCC enacted regulatory changes to reallocate portions of the 800 MHz frequency band. The
reallocation was designed to alleviate interference problems experienced by some public safety, business, and industrial users which were caused by commercial systems, most notably Sprint / Nextel. The resulting regulatory changes will consolidate
all public safety users into one portion of the 800 MHz frequency band, and move the commercial systems to a different portion of the RF spectrum. The resulting frequency transition will impact many of the public safety users, who must transition
their radio systems into a different portion of the frequency band. We expect these transitions will result in challenges supporting existing customers in rebanding their equipment, as well as opportunities to upgrade the customers equipment.



Secured Communications



With the addition of 3eTI into our secured communications division, we have
expanded our product portfolio by adding wireless data and wireless data security products and solutions that increase the addressable market for our company. Our WLAN solutions are based on the 802.11 (Wi-Fi) family of WLAN standards, as well as
other emerging wireless standards such as Bluetooth and WiMAX. Our software security technologies that meet federal standards for securing wireless data networks primarily in the government sectors for WLAN solutions.



The use of validated cryptographic modules is required by the U.S. government
for all unclassified uses of cryptography. The government of Canada also recommends the use of FIPS 140 validated cryptographic modules in unclassified applications of its departments. FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria are both widely used government
security standards which have become a growing concern in todays security market. FIPS 140-2 applies to products that contain cryptography and are sold to governments and financial institutions.



Our secured communications division provides products and services in a
variety of industry segments. Our analog encryption industry segment originated from the need to secure sensitive wireless military communications. By the late 1970s, these devices became economically feasible for non-military government users, such
as police, fire, emergency personnel and large commercial users, such as transportation, construction and oil companies. The secured communications industry is generally comprised of products designed to protect the transmission of sensitive voice
and data communications. Without such protection, many forms of electronic communications, telephone conversations and remote data communications are vulnerable to interception and theft.



Wireless communications can be transmitted through either analog or digital modulation technology. Analog transmissions
typically consist of a voice or other signals modulated directly onto a continuous radio wave. An analog transmission can be made secure by scrambling the original signal at the point of transmission, and reconstituting the original signal at the
receiving end. Digital transmissions can be made secure by a process known as encryption, which utilizes a mathematical algorithm to rearrange the bit-stream prior to transmission and a decoding algorithm to reconstitute the transmitted information
back into its original form at the receiving end. The use of scrambling and encryption equipment is required on both the transmitting and receiving sides of communications to operate in secure mode. However, most wireless radio encryption products
can be used in the clear, non-scrambled mode to communicate with equipment that does not contain a corresponding security device.



Wireless radio encryption users are migrating from analog to digital transmission systems at different rates around the world. In developing countries,
wireless radio systems remain analog because the cost to upgrade to digital secured communications system is usually prohibitive and there is lower demand for RF spectrum. The large existing analog wireless radio installed base can obtain encryption
and scrambling security features in the aftermarket with add-on modules to analog radios, often incurring substantially less costs than converting their entire wireless radio system to digital. Drivers for secured communication systems with
scrambling and encryption include an increase in military conflicts and heightened security concerns.

Competitive Strengths



We believe the following competitive strengths will allow us to take advantage of the opportunities we see in our industry.



Technical and Industry ExpertiseWe have significant software
experience in software security for wireless voice, video and data public safety radio networks. Our next generation public safety radio network solutions are scalable, allowing our customers to implement a network that can grow as their wireless
system needs change. Our research and development efforts are focused on integrating voice, video and data interconnectivity between wireless sites by applying standard internet protocol switching techniques. We leverage our engineering and
technical expertise to address the specific needs of our customers and developments in our market. We are an industry standards leader within APCO, TIA, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) providing
significant support by chairing committees and working groups formulating the standards.



Our technical expertise has enabled us to improve our core technologies and incorporate them into our new products more quickly and with relatively lower development costs due to our ability to build these platforms
mainly based on open industry standards and software based radios. We have been first to market with a number of products that meet Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) for securing wireless data protocols and we were the
first wireless supplier to have a wireless LAN Access Point and client software receive (NIAP) Evaluation Assurance Level 2 Common Criteria Validation. In addition, certain of our equipment has been validated to FIPS 140-2 and Common
Criteria standards.



Product Value PropositionWe
continue to make significant investments in research and development to provide greater features in our products and systems for our customers. Furthermore, by leveraging our private wireless communications expertise, we can provide lower cost
products with enhanced features.



Motorola License
RightsWe have significant license rights that allow us to sell products that work in the largest proprietary analog public safety radio network base as well as in networks that will utilize the next generation of public safety technology.
This allows us to address the large installed proprietary analog market that has extensive investments and will likely evolve to Project 25 digital solutions on an incremental basis over the next few years. This license facilitates the selling and
marketing of our products to customers that undergo the transition to the new digital systems.



Customer RelationshipsWe have extensive customer relationships with several U.S. government agencies, including the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Interior, Justice and Treasury as well as
state and local governmental agencies and international entities. We are able to attract such customers due to our competitive product positioning, brand awareness and strong service commitment. Our products have also gone through numerous customer
testing and government regulatory qualification processes which can take significant time and effort. After our products are approved for use by the various government agencies, we obtain the necessary approval to list certain of our products for
sale on procurement contracts, such as the General Services Administration, (GSA), schedule to make them available for purchase. For our secured communications segment, we leverage our customer relationships to maintain a leading market
position in analog radio encryption by providing a high level of service and support.



Strategy



We believe the following key
elements of our strategy will allow us to grow our business of innovating, designing, developing and marketing the highest quality secure communications solutions for organizations whose mission is to protect and save lives.



Develop New and Adapt Existing Technologies to Meet the Market Drive
Towards Media ConvergenceWe believe that the public safety/public service market is moving towards convergent telecommunications solutions that allow easy cost-efficient access to mission critical information, including



7



---

voice, data and video. We intend on meeting that market shift by integrating the systems we currently have, introducing new products and adding additional
components to existing products. In the near term this will mean kits that include land mobile radios (LMR) and WiFi mesh, location-based context-aware management and dispatching, unified key management framework (KMF) and accessories integrated for
solutions. In the longer term it will mean box-level integration with LMR, WiFi mesh and additional networks, including global systems for mobile communication (GSM), WiMAX and satellite, and two-tier architecture for gateways and handsets.



Continue to Capitalize on the Demand for Interoperability
and the Transition from Analog to Digital PlatformsDemand is growing as the private wireless communications industry transitions from analog to digital platforms, which increasingly utilize our digital Project 25 products and solutions,
and as a response to the government mandated requirement for a common standard for federal, state and local government public safety/service agencies, allowing them to communicate with each other in emergency situations. We plan to capitalize on
this demand growth by continuing to develop Project 25 compliant feature enhancements and additions to our digital radios and systems.



Reorganize into a Single Centralized Solutions Company that is Well Positioned to Capitalize on the Drive Towards Interoperability and Media
ConvergencePreviously the company was organized as parent company with two segments, and three separate brandsPrivate Wireless Communications (branded EFJohnson) and Secured Communications (branded 3eTI and Transcrypt International).
On November 15, 2007, the Company announced a reorganization plan (the Plan), that will centralize corporate functions and eliminate redundant positions. This will not only produce significant cost savings, but will also result in a
more cohesive approach to capitalizing on opportunities associated with our current technology offerings, executing our new technology roadmap for convergence and interoperability, and expanding our sales opportunities.



Seek Partnerships that Enhance Technology or Open New MarketsWe
recognize that one of the quickest most cost-efficient ways to develop a strong platform to deliver integrated voice, video and data solutions and reach our target markets is by partnering with other industry leaders. Therefore we intend on pursuing
partnerships, similar to the one we have with Cisco, which allow us to offer state and local governments a complete IP interoperability solution that will help them improve response times to protect citizens. Another model for partnership
opportunities is our agreement with Honeywell, in which our multinode product will be offered as part of Honeywells OneWireless universal industrial wireless mesh network solution.



Build a More Aggressive and Focused Marketing EffortWe intend on
winning a larger share of growing markets where secure communications are critical, and our reorganized company will take advantage of a centralized sales and marketing focus to expand our non-defense federal business, increase our emphasis on
seeking new state and local customers, and expand opportunities with non-government customers, such as our new industrial process initiative.



Actively Participate in Driving Industry StandardsWe intend to continue to be a leader in setting the public communications standards, which
are critical to the markets in which we compete. Our active participation in the development activities with industry associations like the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO), Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
and IEEE (formerly the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) allows us to contribute to the development of better solutions for the market, to build recognition of our technical competence in the industry and among our customers, to
gain insight into market trends, and to secure positions for our intellectual property within the technology standards.



Going Forward



Previously the company was organized, and reported its financial results, as a parent company with two segments, Private Wireless Communications and
Secured Communications. Having recognized that the public safety/public service market is moving towards convergent telecommunications solutions and because we want to continue to capitalize on the demand for interoperability and the transition
from analog to digital platforms, we



8



---

are reorganizing into a single centralized corporate structure. We believe the reorganized company, with centralized corporate functions and eliminated
redundant positions, will not only produce significant cost savings, but will result in a more cohesive approach to capitalizing on opportunities associated with our current technology offerings, executing our new technology roadmap for convergence
and interoperability, and expanding our sales opportunities. Our chief operating officer, a newly created position at EFJ, will lead consolidated operational areas including quality, engineering, sales, marketing, administration, operations,
customer service and information technology.



In light of these
changes, the company has reassessed its segment reporting, and beginning with the first quarter of 2008, will no longer report its segments as Private Wireless and Secured Communications.



Products and Services



Our private wireless communications products consist of wireless radios and communication systems,
which include, system design and installation of infrastructure equipment and services. Our services include technical support maintenance contracts, service parts and training. Our wireless radio offerings are primarily designed to operate in both
analog and digital system environments that include Multi-Net®, Motorolas SmartNet®/SmartZone® and the Project 25 industry standard. Certain of our wireless radios, both hand-held portable radios and vehicle-mounted mobile radios, can contain digital encryption technology, Project 25 trunking and various other
features.



Our secured communication products consist of
reliable and secure wireless data networking products that meet the highest U.S. government and wireless industry standards. We offer a wide variety of products that can be used in a myriad of government, military, enterprise, industrial and
business applications. We design and sell a range of product modes to meet every wireless need, including mesh, bridge, access point, repeater, gateway, client and bridge and complete turnkey solutions and services. Our analog and digital encryption
products are sold in embedded circuit boards or as an aftermarket add-on for existing radios and systems. These products are available in two packages, which include a modular and a plug-in package which OEMs or customers may install. We also
produce modules that add signaling features to radios, including man-down (emergency signal broadcast if radio position becomes horizontal), stun-kill (disables lost or stolen radios remotely), ANI (automatic
number identification of radios) and Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) (changes encryption and scrambling codes remotely). We also offer a wireless radio encryption module, for use as an add-on or in OEM equipment that is based upon the U.S.
digital encryption standard known as DES. Our newest products allow analog transmissions to be more securely encrypted in a digital format that also permits backward compatibility with our older encryption modules.



Customers



We sell our products to federal, state and local governmental entities, domestic commercial users and international
entities. The end users for our products are first responders such as police, fire and other emergency personnel and military and other governmental users. We sell private wireless communication and secured wireless products and systems primarily to
domestic entities, such as federal, state and local governmental agencies. The U.S. Department of Defense is a significant customer, representing approximately 62% and 16% of consolidated revenues in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Sprint Nextel is a
significant customer, representing approximately 10% of consolidated revenues in 2006. Army National Guard is a significant customer, representing approximately 13% of consolidated revenues in 2006.



Sales and Marketing



We sell our private wireless communications products domestically through a direct sales force of account executives and
sales managers as well as through indirect channels of dealers and manufacturer representatives. We provide support to wireless radio dealers, who re-sell our products to end-users. This support includes advertising materials, sales and service
training and technical support. For our secured communication products,



9



---

we also utilize original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and original design manufacturing (ODM) arrangements for our product
distribution. We utilize sales channel relationships with larger system integrators who provide solutions to large government agencies. Our international sales are primarily made through a specialized international direct sales force in conjunction
with company-authorized dealers/distributors, which typically provide a local contact and arrange for technical training in foreign countries. Our sales employees work with our private wireless communications dealer network which spans the United
States with approximately 200 participating members. Our secured communications sales employees work with a select group of dealers that service the majority of the countries around the world.



The majority of system sales involves soliciting and responding to requests
for proposals (RFP). The RFP process for system sales has a relatively long cycle time, typically taking as long as one year, and, depending on the size of the system, taking multiple years to complete installation of a project. In
connection with the sale of wireless radio systems to local and state governmental entities, we may be required, at the time the bid is submitted and once the contract is entered into, to provide letters of credit or performance or bid bonds that
may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under our contracts.



Much of our private wireless communications business is obtained through submission of formal competitive bids. Our governmental customers generally specify the terms, conditions and form of the contract. Government business is subject to
government funding decisions and contract types can vary widely, including fixed-priced, indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ), and government-wide acquisition contract with the GSA which requires pre-qualification of vendors
and allows government customers to more easily procure our products and systems.



GSA schedule contracts are listings of services, products and prices of contractors maintained by the GSA for use throughout the federal government. When an agency uses a GSA schedule contract to meet its requirement,
the agency or the GSA, on behalf of the agency, conducts the procurement. The user agency, or the GSA on its behalf, evaluates the user agencys services requirements and initiates a competition limited to GSA schedule qualified contractors.
Use of GSA schedule contracts provides the user agency with reduced procurement time and lower procurement costs.



We also utilize the SBIR program to obtain funding for development and delivery of products to government customers. The SBIR program provides funding to
small, hi-tech businesses to research, design, develop and test prototype technologies related to specific government needs which are issued as solicitation topics every few months on the Internet. This program stimulates technological innovation,
integrates small business-developed inventions into defense systems and increases commercial application of DOD supported research and development efforts. The SBIR program has three phases. In Phase I, a small business submits a proposal in
response to a DOD Solicitation Topic. Phase I projects that demonstrate the most potential are invited to submit a Phase II proposal to further develop the idea and produce a well-defined prototype. This is where the major R&D effort is
conducted. In Phase III, companies are expected to leverage SBIR funding to obtain private or non-SBIR government funding to turn the prototype developed in Phase II into a commercial product or service for sale to military and private sector
customers. To participate in the SBIR program, a company must be a for-profit U.S. owned and operated small business with 500 or fewer employees. All work must be performed in the United States.



Research and Development



We design new products around common wireless technologies using commercial
off-the-shelf signal processing platforms and circuitry. We have generally been able to incorporate improvements in core technologies into our new products more quickly and with relatively lower development costs by building these platforms on
software based radios.



Our research and development
organization has expertise in RF technology, VoIP solutions, call processing, internet protocol networking, cryptography, object-oriented software, WLAN, WiFi, Mesh and analog and digital

hardware designs. This knowledge base is leveraged to implement new standards and competitive features into our products and systems. Ongoing engineering
efforts are focused on adding features to existing product lines and developing new and innovative products and platforms. Cross-disciplinary groups, involving marketing, customer service, manufacturing and engineering are used for product planning,
definition, internal testing and beta testing. We also have knowledge in customized wireless network centric products and systems that utilize FIPS 140-2 validated wireless products, 802.11 wireless networking (WiFi) solutions, mesh networking, and
conditions-based and location-based telematics solutions.



We
will continue to develop Project 25 products to comply with the Project 25 standard. Current developments include the addition of lower cost digital portable and mobile radios, as well as the development of Project 25 infrastructure equipment,
including Project 25 trunking infrastructure, such as repeaters, base stations, network-switching equipment, network management solutions and consoles. We have applied standard internet protocol switching techniques for the connection of wireless
sites and have been granted patents by the United States patent office in this area with several other patents pending. Our WLAN solutions utilize the 802.11i standard protocols. Encryption used in products includes the Advanced Encryption
Standard (AES) published as a Federal Information Processing Standard of the National Institute of Standards and Technology.



With the acquisition of 3eTI in July 2006, we gained significant expertise in wireless LAN, wireless LAN security, mesh networking and other leading
wireless data protocols. We plan to continue to develop leading edge wireless technology solutions for governmental agencies and to bring those technologies into the industrial process control marketplace providing high-speed, reliable and secure
wireless networking capabilities to the market.



Intellectual Property and
Material Licenses



We hold a number of U.S. patents. These
patents cover a broad range of technologies, including trunking protocols, high-end scrambling and encryption techniques, methods of integrating after-market devices, and a high-speed data interface for wireless radio communications. Furthermore, we
hold certain copyrights that cover software containing algorithms for frequency hopping, scrambling and wireless radio signaling technologies, as well as registered trademarks related to the EFJohnson, 3eTI and
Transcrypt names and product names. In addition to patent, trademark, and copyright laws, we rely on trade secret law and employee and third party non-disclosure agreements to protect our proprietary intellectual property rights.



We have
obtained from Motorola a non-exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture products containing certain proprietary wireless radio and digital encryption technology. We believe this technology will be important to the success of our business. The
license includes rights to use Motorolas proprietary analog APCO 16 trunking technology (SmartNet®/SmartZone®), Project 25
required products, and certain Motorola digital encryption algorithms in our wireless radio products. In addition, we obtained a license to utilize certain proprietary technology from Motorola relating to the development of Project 25 compliant
digital wireless radios. This license covers wireless radios, infrastructure wireless systems and other Project 25 technology. We have also obtained a license from Motorola to license a limited number of their proprietary SmartNet®/SmartZone® technology products relating to the FCC enacted regulatory changes to reallocate portions of the 800 MHz frequency band,
discussed above.



Suppliers



Our private wireless communications products are manufactured by McDonald
Technologies International Inc., a Texas-based contract manufacturer and Creation Technologies Inc. a Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada-based contract manufacturer. We assemble some of our secured communications products at our facilities in
Lincoln, Nebraska and Indiana, Pennsylvania. Sub-assembly components for secured communications products are manufactured by Tran Electronics, Inc., a Minnesota-based contract manufacturer and J-Three International Holding Co, Ltd., a Taipei, Taiwan
based contract manufacturer.



11



---

McDonald Technologies and Creation Technologies Inc. contract with other vendors to manufacture
components and subassemblies in accordance with our specific design criteria. Some components and subassemblies used in our products are presently available only from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. CalAmp provides us with our RF
module for our private wireless communication products. If necessary, we believe that alternative sources could be obtained to supply these products. To date, we have been able to obtain adequate supplies of key components and subassemblies in a
timely manner from existing sources. For our private wireless communications products, we outsource manufacturing, which permits us to efficiently allocate our resources to marketing and research and development efforts, which we perceive to be our
core competencies.



Competition



In addition to EFJohnson, we believe that Motorola, M/A-Com (a subsidiary of
TYCO Electronics), Icom, Kenwood, Tait Electronics and Relm are currently the principal suppliers of Project 25 wireless radio products, although we anticipate other companies to announce future entry into the Project 25 compliant product market. Of
our competitors, we believe that Motorola, and to a much lesser extent, M/A-Com and EADS (European Aeronautic Defense and Space), are the primary Project 25 suppliers offering trunked infrastructure.



In North America, Motorola is the leading provider of wireless radio
equipment to the public safety and public service segments, in which market segment M/A-Com is considered to be the second largest provider. Other wireless radio providers are less focused on the Project 25 market, including EADS, Uniden America
Corporation, Kenwood, Icom America, Inc., Relm, Datron, Tait, Vertex and Midland. Our focus is homeland security, defense, public safety and public service and international markets, where we compete on the basis of value, technology and the
flexibility, support and responsiveness provided by us and by our dealers.



The markets for secured communications products are highly competitive. Competitors include Fortress Technologies, Troops, Alvarion, Cisco Systems, Filcom d/b/a/ Daxon, Kavit Electronics Industries, and Midian
Electronics Inc. Significant competitive factors in these markets include product quality and performance features, including effectiveness of security features, quality of the resulting voice or data signal, development of new products and
features, price, name recognition, and quality and experience of sales, marketing and service personnel.



Government Regulation and Export Controls



Wireless communications are regulated by a variety of governmental and other regulatory agencies throughout the world. In the U.S., our wireless products are subject to regulation by the FCC, which has been granted
broad authority under the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to make rules and regulations. Compliance with these and foreign rules and regulations provide us with general approval to sell products within a given country for operation in a
given frequency band, one-time equipment certification, and, at times, local approval for installation. Additionally, the FCC and foreign regulatory authorities regulate the spectrum used to provide wireless radio communications, as well as the
construction, operation, and acquisition of wireless communications systems, and certain aspects of the performance of mobile communications products. Further, wireless radio communications of the U.S. government are controlled by the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA, which regulates technical specifications of the product and spectrum used by the U.S. government and other users. Many of these governmental regulations are highly technical and subject to
change.



In those countries that have accepted certain
worldwide standards, such as the FCC rulings or those from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute or ETSI, we have not experienced significant regulatory barriers in bringing our products to market. Approval in these markets involves
retaining local testing agencies to verify specific product compliance.



12



---

The majority of the systems operated by our private wireless customers must comply with the rules and
regulations governing what have traditionally been characterized as private radio or private carrier communications systems. Licenses are issued to use frequencies on either a shared or exclusive basis, depending upon the frequency band
in which the system operates. Some of the channels designated for exclusive use are employed on a for-profit basis, and other channels are used to satisfy internal communications requirements.



The regulatory environment is inherently uncertain and changes in the
regulatory structure and laws and regulations, both in the United States and internationally, can adversely affect us and our customers. Such changes could make existing or planned products obsolete or unusable in one or more markets, which could
have a material adverse effect on us. The FCC, through the Public Safety Wireless Advisory Committee, has considered regulatory measures to facilitate a transition by public safety agencies to a more competitive, innovative environment so that the
agencies may gain access to higher-quality transmission, emerging technologies, and broader services, including interoperability.



In August 1998, the FCC adopted rules for licensing the largest block of spectrum ever allocated at one time for public safety. The FCC established rules
for licensing 24 megahertz in the 700 MHz band and established a band plan for use of this spectrum. In accordance with this rule, in January 1999, the FCC established a Public Safety National Coordination Committee, or the NCC, to advise it on
issues relating to the use of the 700 MHz public safety spectrum. The NCC was responsible for formulating a national interoperability plan, recommending technical standards to achieve interoperability, and providing policy recommendations on an
advisory basis to the regional planning committees in order to facilitate the development of coordinated plans.



The NCC recommended that Project 25 be established as the interim interoperability mode for digital voice communications in this new band. During January
of 2001, the FCC released its Fourth Report and Order in which Project 25 was chosen as the interoperability standard. Subsequent FCC rulings established a timetable for mandating the use of narrower channels in order to promote better spectrum
utilization. Specifically, the date of January 1, 2007 was established as the date after which all radios that are FCC type certified, and all radios that are sold for use in the 700 MHz band must include a mode that has an equivalent 6.25 kHz
channel efficiency. This date was also established as the date after which no 12.5 kHz licenses could be applied for. In 2005, the FCC delayed that date until January 1, 2015. Recent legislation known as the Digital Television Transition Act of
2005, as part of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005, is expected to set the date of February 17, 2009 as the date by which all incumbent television broadcast stations must evacuate the 700 MHz spectrum, thus freeing the spectrum for the
exclusive use of public safety users. This date, although later than previously anticipated, will ensure the opening of that spectrum for use in public safety systems.



FCC rulings in the VHF and UHF frequency bands have been enacted to promote more spectral efficiency by mandating the use of narrower
channels. Recent FCC rulings in 2005, however, have delayed the implementation of some of these rules. The date by which all radios receiving type certification must have an equivalent channel efficiency of one voice channel in 6.25 kHz of spectrum,
and preventing the certification of equipment with 25 kHz channel efficiency, initially set as January 1, 2005, was delayed, thus allowing the continuation of certification and manufacture of 25 kHz equipment. The FCC has asked for comment in
selecting a new date. The date of January 1, 2011 has been set as the last day for users to apply for 25 kHz licenses, and the last day to sell or import 25 kHz equipment. Also, the date of January 1, 2013 has been established as the date
when all users must migrate away from 25 kHz equipment, and use equipment with 12.5 kHz channel efficiency or less.



Our products are subject to export controls administered by the Department of Commerce and Department of State. In addition to the regulation of products
in general, these controls permit the export of encryption products only with the required level of export license. U.S. export laws also prohibit the export of encryption products to a number of specified countries. Additionally, in certain foreign
countries, our distributors are required to secure licenses or formal permission before encryption products can be imported.



13



---

We cannot predict whether any new legislation regarding export controls will be enacted, what form such
legislation will take or how any such legislation will impact international sales of our products.



Backlog



Our secured
communications products typically have a short turnaround cycle. In contrast, our private wireless communications products and systems and secured communications government services contracts typically have a longer turnaround cycle due to customer
system integration and contract delivery requirements that may span multiple years. At December 31, 2007, we had a total backlog of purchase orders and contracts of approximately $95.0 million. This compares to total order backlog of $136.5
million and $62.3 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.



Employees



At December 31, 2007, we had
377 full-time equivalent employees. We also use temporary employees, independent contractors and consultants when necessary to manage fluctuations in demand. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement.



|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------



Any investment in our Company will be subject to risks inherent to our business. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing
our company. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are not aware of or focused on or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations. This report is qualified in its entirety by these risk factors.



If any of the following risks actually occur, they could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flow or results of operations. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.



Our sales are substantially concentrated in public sector markets that inherently possess
additional risks that could harm revenues and gross margins.



A significant portion of our revenue is derived from sales to federal, state, and local governments, both directly or through system integrators and other resellers. Sales to these government entities present risks in addition to those
involved in sales to commercial customers, including potential disruptions due to appropriation and spending patterns, changes in government personnel, political factors and the governments reservation of the right to cancel contracts for its
convenience. The bidding cycle for a request for proposal, or RFP, and contract award stage can take six months to two years before a contract is awarded and the government funding process for these systems can delay the bidding cycle as well. We
expect that sales to government entities will increasingly be subject to competitive bidding requirements. This intensified competition can be expected to result in lower prices, longer sales cycles and lower margins. Further, our sales to these
domestic public safety and public service entities can be substantially attributed to Project 25 interoperability mandates and homeland security initiatives. Changes in governmental budget priorities could result in decreased opportunities for us to
sell into this market segment.



Our reliance on third-party suppliers poses
significant risks to our business and prospects.



We
subcontract the manufacture of a substantial portion of our hardware components for our products, including integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, connectors, cables, power supplies, and certain RF modules, on a sole or limited source basis to
third-party suppliers, including third-party suppliers located in foreign countries. We also use contract manufacturers to assemble our components for significant portions of our products, in some cases on a sole or limited source basis. We are
subject to substantial risks because of our reliance on these suppliers. For example:



| |  |  | if a supplier fails to provide components that meet our specifications in sufficient quantities to meet demand, then production and sale of our products may be
delayed or otherwise adversely affected;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



14



---

| |  |  | if a supplier disagrees with our assessment that the supplier products do not meet specifications, we may incur additional costs associated with disputed products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if a reduction or an interruption in the supply of our components should occur, either because a supplier fails to provide parts on a timely basis, a supplier
provides parts that later prove to be defective or a single-source supplier elects to no longer provide those components to us, it could take us a considerable period of time to identify and qualify alternative suppliers to redesign our products as
necessary and to begin manufacture of the redesigned components or we may not be able to redesign such components;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | if we were unable to locate a supplier for a key component, we may be unable to identify an alternative component and therefore may be unable to complete and
deliver our products;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | one or more suppliers could make strategic changes in their product offerings, which might delay delivery, suspend manufacturing or increase the cost of our
components or systems;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | some of our key suppliers are small companies with limited financial and other resources, and consequently may be more likely to experience financial and
operational difficulties than larger, well-established companies that could result in the interruption or termination of the supply of critical components; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | some of our suppliers are located in foreign countries which may be subject to economic or political uncertainty.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our products must meet demanding specifications and must perform reliably.
Delays in product shipments and acceptances adversely affect our revenues and margins.



Our products and planned successor products are based upon certain processors manufactured from multiple suppliers. If any of these suppliers suffers delays or cancels the development of enhancements to its
processors, our product revenue would be adversely affected. Changing our product designs to utilize another suppliers integrated circuits would be a costly and time-consuming process.



We depend on federal government contracts for a substantial portion of our revenues, and
the loss of federal government contracts or a decline in funding of existing or future government contracts could adversely affect our revenues and cash flows.



A substantial portion of our revenues is dependent upon continued funding of federal government agencies, as well as
continued funding of the programs targeted by us. U.S. government contracts are subject to termination for convenience by the government, as well as termination, reduction, or modification in the event of budgetary constraints or any change in the
governments requirements. In addition, a portion of our revenue is dependent upon our 3eTI subsidiary obtaining and subsequently maintaining a facilities security clearance. Further, our contract-related costs and fees, including allocated
indirect costs, may be subject to audits by the U.S. government that may result in recalculation of contract revenues and non-reimbursement of some contract costs and fees. In addition, when we act as a subcontractor, the failure or inability of the
prime contractor to perform its prime contract may result in an inability to obtain payment of fees and contract costs.



In addition, government contract awards can be contested by other competing contractors, which may result in delays in the commencement of our performance
and receipt of payments for our work under such contracts.



U.S. government contracts are dependent upon the continuing availability of congressional appropriations. Congress usually appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though contract performance may take several years. Consequently, at
the outset of a major program, the contract is usually incrementally funded and additional funds are normally committed to the contract by the procuring agency as Congress makes appropriations for future fiscal years. Any failure of such agencies to
continue to fund such contracts could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.



15



---

These or other factors could cause federal government agencies to shift their spending priorities, reduce
their purchases under contracts, to exercise their right to terminate contracts, or exercise their right not to renew contracts, all of which may limit our ability to obtain or maintain contract awards. Any of the aforementioned actions above could
adversely affect our revenues and cash flows.



Our Loan Agreement contains
covenants that require us to achieve, maintain or satisfy certain criteria.



The loan agreement with Bank of America, N.A. governing our revolving loans and term loan contains certain covenants regarding limitations on debt, liens, fundamental changes, acquisitions, transfers of assets,
investments, loans, guarantees, use of proceeds, sale-leaseback transactions and capital expenditures. In addition, the loan agreement contains certain financial covenants. Failure to comply with any of these covenants could constitute an event of
default that would permit the lender to accelerate the loans upon their occurrence, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and cash flows.



In order to maintain compliance with the terms of the Amendment, we are required to maintain a certain level of EBITDA and minimum
liquidity over the 2008 quarterly financial reporting periods. For the 2009 quarterly financial reporting periods, the covenants revert back to a minimum funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the interest rate on
the revolving note issuable pursuant to the Loan Agreement has been amended to be equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% through March 31, 2009, and thereafter to LIBOR plus a rate between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on our ratio of debt to EBITDA. We cannot
assure that in the future we will be able to achieve, maintain or satisfy these covenants or obtain a waiver from Bank of America in the event we fail to comply with the covenants.



Our financial results have varied and may continue to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and we may fail to meet expectations,
which might negatively impact the price of our stock.



Current economic and market conditions, many of which are outside our control, have limited our ability to forecast our sales volume and product mix, making it difficult to provide estimates of revenue and operating results. We continue to
have limited visibility into the capital spending plans of our current and prospective customers. Fluctuations in our revenue can lead to even greater fluctuations in operating results. Our planned expense levels depend, in part, on revenue
expectations, but significant portions of our expenses are not variable in the short term. Our planned expenses include significant investments in research and development necessary to develop products to be sold to current and prospective
customers, even though we are unsure of the volume, duration, or timing of any purchase orders. Accordingly, it is difficult to forecast revenue and operating results. If our revenue or operating results are below investor and market analyst
expectations, it could cause a decline in the price of our common stock.



Our operating results historically fluctuate from period to period.



Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period due to a number of factors including:



| |  |  | timing of customer orders;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | timing and mix of product sales;
| | - |  | --------------------------------



| |  |  | seasonality of product sales;
| | - |  | -----------------------------



| |  |  | timing of the introduction of new products;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | general economic conditions, both in the United States and overseas; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | specific economic conditions in the private wireless communications and secured communications industries.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



These factors make it difficult to use our quarterly results as a predictor
of future operations. Historically, more than half of each quarters revenues are shipped during the third month of a quarter, and disproportionately in the latter half of that month. These factors make revenue forecasting inherently uncertain.
Because we plan our



16



---

operating expenses, many of which are relatively fixed in the short term, on expected revenue, a relatively small revenue shortfall may cause a periods
results to be substantially below expectations. Such a revenue shortfall could arise from any number of factors, including lower than expected demand, supply constraints, transit interruptions, overall economic conditions, or natural disasters.



We carry substantial quantities of inventories.



We carry a significant amount of inventories to service customer
requirements in a timely manner. If we are unable to sell these inventories over a commercially reasonable time, we may be required to take inventory markdowns in the future, which could reduce our gross margins. In addition, it is critical to our
success that we accurately predict trends in customer demand, including seasonal fluctuations, in the future and do not overstock unpopular products or fail to sufficiently stock popular products. Both scenarios could harm our operating results.



If the quality of our products does not meet our customers
expectations, then our sales and operating earnings, and ultimately our reputation, could be adversely affected.



The products we sell are subject to quality and reliability issues resulting from the design or manufacture of the product, components provided by our
suppliers or partners or from the software used in the product. Often these issues are identified prior to the shipment of the products and may cause delays in shipping products to customers, or even the cancellation of orders by customers. We may
discover or may be informed of quality issues in the products after they have been shipped to our distributors or end-user customers, requiring us to resolve such issues in a timely manner that is the least disruptive to our customers. Such
pre-shipment and post-shipment quality issues could have legal and financial ramifications, including: delays in the recognition of revenue, loss of revenue or future orders, customer-imposed penalties on us for failure to meet contractual shipment
deadlines, increased costs associated with repairing or replacing products, and a negative impact on our goodwill and brand name reputation.



If the quality issue affects the products safety or regulatory compliance, then such a defective product could need to be recalled.
Depending on the nature of the defect and the number of products in the field, it would cause us to incur substantial recall costs, in addition to the costs associated with the potential loss of future orders, and the damage to our goodwill or
brand/reputation. In addition, we could be required, under certain customer contracts, to pay damages for failed performance that might exceed the revenue that the Company receives from the contracts. Recalls involving regulatory agencies could also
result in fines and additional costs. Finally, recalls could result in third-party litigation, including class action litigation by persons alleging common harm resulting from the purchase of the products.



We may not successfully integrate or realize the intended benefits of our recently
announced reorganization.



On November 15, 2007, the
Company committed to an organizational plan (the Plan) to shift to one integrated corporate structure. The success of this reorganization will depend, among other matters, on our ability to:



| |  |  | retain, motivate and integrate personnel;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate business development efforts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate multiple accounting and information systems;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate, converge and commercialize our technology;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | reduce and integrate geographically separate facilities; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to secure U.S. government contracts for both revenues and research and development.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Our Plan to shift from three divisions to one integrated corporate structure
may encounter difficulties in integrating our operations and products and our ability to support existing and new technology. We may not



17



---

realize the benefits that we anticipated through the reorganization. Our failure to successfully integrate our systems, operations and products could
seriously disrupt and harm our business and unfavorably impact our operating results and financial condition. In addition, the diversion of our attention to the reorganization effort and any difficulty encountered in combining operations could cause
the interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of our business. The Plan may not achieve projected annualized costs savings of $3.0  $5.0 million.



We may be required to offset future deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance.



During the quarter ended December 31, 2007, we conducted an analysis of our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets.
As a result of this analysis, we changed the valuation allowance relating to our deferred tax assets resulting in a $26.5 million increase. If we fail to achieve revenue growth rates or gross margins assumed in the calculation of our deferred tax
assets, we may be required to offset future deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance, resulting in an additional tax expense. The change in the valuation may have a material impact on future results. If we do not achieve sufficient
domestic federal taxable income in future years to utilize all or some of our net operating loss carryforwards, they will expire.



We may not successfully integrate or realize the intended benefits of our previous acquisition.



We acquired 3eTI in July 2006. The success of this acquisition will depend, among other matters, on our ability to:



| |  |  | retain, motivate and integrate the acquired personnel;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate business development efforts;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate multiple accounting and information systems;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate and commercialize certain of the acquired technology with our existing products and services;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrate geographically separate facilities; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continue to secure U.S. government contracts for both revenues and research and development.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We may encounter difficulties in integrating our operations and products with
those of 3eTI. We may not realize the benefits that we anticipated when we made this acquisition. Our failure to successfully integrate our operations and products with those of 3eTI could seriously harm our business, operating results and financial
condition. The diversion of our attention to the integration effort and any difficulty encountered in combining operations could cause the interruption of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of our business.



We may pursue strategic acquisitions that could result in significant charges or
management disruption and fail to enhance stockholder value.



A key part of our strategy is to selectively pursue acquisitions. As such, we may acquire or merge with additional businesses that could complement or expand our business. If we do identify an appropriate acquisition candidate, we may not
be able to successfully negotiate the terms of the acquisition. Future acquisitions could also cause us to issue dilutive equity securities, incur debt or contingent liabilities, record goodwill and other intangibles, or write off in-process
research and development and other acquisition-related expenses that could materially harm our financial condition and operating results. In addition, acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:



| |  |  | higher than estimated acquisition expenses;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in successfully assimilating the operations, technologies and personnel of the acquired company;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in continuing to develop the new technologies and deliver products to market on time;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



18



---

| |  |  | diversion of managements attention from other business concerns;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | risks of entering markets in which we have no, or limited, direct prior experience;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | due diligence that failed to discover potential issues;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk that the markets for acquired products do not develop as expected; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the potential loss of key employees and customers as a result of the acquisition.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We cannot be assured that our future strategic investment decisions will generate adequate financial returns or will not
ultimately result in losses and a material drain on our cash resources.



We
are subject to government regulation, which may require us to obtain additional licenses and could limit our ability to sell our products outside the United States.



The sale of certain of our products outside the United States is subject to compliance with the United States Export Administration
Regulations and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Our failure to obtain the requisite licenses, meet registration standards or comply with other government export regulations, may affect our ability to export such products or to
generate revenues from the sale of our products outside the United States, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Compliance with government regulations also may subject us to
additional fees and costs. The absence of comparable restrictions on competitors in other countries may adversely affect our competitive position.



In order to sell our products outside the United States, we must satisfy certain registrations and technical requirements, including the Restriction of
Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). If we were unable to comply with those requirements with respect to our products, our sales in foreign countries could be restricted which could have a material adverse effect on our business.



Reduced access by our private wireless communications segment to
Motorolas technology could harm our business and operations.



We have obtained from Motorola a non-exclusive, worldwide license to manufacture products
containing certain proprietary wireless radios and digital encryption technology. We believe this technology will be important to the success of certain of our existing and proposed Project 25 compliant wireless radio products. The license includes
rights to use Motorolas proprietary analog APCO 16 trunking technology (SmartNet®/SmartZone®) and Project 25 required
products. The digital encryption technology may also be incorporated into certain other secured communications products. In addition, we obtained a license to utilize certain proprietary technology from Motorola relating to the development of
Project 25 compliant digital wireless radios. This license covers infrastructure and other Project 25 technology. Any termination of these licensing arrangements would significantly harm our business and operations.



We are dependent on continuing access to certain Motorola proprietary
intellectual property enabling us to manufacture products containing certain wireless radio and digital encryption technology. We cannot assure that Motorola will continue to supply proprietary intellectual property to us on the scale or at the
price that has historically occurred. In addition, Motorolas perception of us as a competitor could impact Motorolas continued willingness to do business with us. A decision by Motorola to reduce or eliminate the provision of technology
to us could significantly harm our business and operations.



Unfavorable
government audit results could subject us to a variety of penalties and sanctions.



The federal government audits and reviews our performance on awards, pricing practices, cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and standards. Like most large government vendors, our awards
are audited and reviewed on a continual basis by federal agencies, including the Defense Contract Management Agency and the Defense Contract Audit Agency. An audit of our work, including an audit of work performed by



19



---

companies we have acquired or may acquire or subcontractors we have hired or may hire, could result in a substantial adjustment in the current period
operating results. For example, any costs which were originally reimbursed could subsequently be disallowed. In this case, cash we have already collected may need to be refunded and our operating margins may be reduced.



If a government audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be
subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or debarment from doing business with U.S. government agencies. In
addition, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation if allegations of impropriety were made against us, even if the allegations were not true.



If we were suspended or debarred from contracting with the U.S. government generally, or any specific agency, if our reputation or relationship with U.S.
government agencies were impaired, or if the government otherwise ceased doing business with us or significantly decreased the amount of business it does with us, our revenue and operating results would be materially harmed.



We may be liable for penalties under a variety of federal procurement rules and
regulations, and changes in such rules and regulations could adversely impact our revenues, operating expenses and profitability.



Parts of our business must comply with and are affected by government regulations that impact our operating costs and profit margins, as well as our
internal organization and operation. The most significant regulations are:



| |  |  | the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulations, which comprehensively regulate the formation, administration and performance of government contracts, including our GSA
contract;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the U.S. Truth in Negotiations Act; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | the U.S. Cost Accounting Standards.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



These regulations affect how we and our customers do business and, in some instances, impose added costs. Any failure to comply with applicable laws or
any changes in applicable laws could result in contract termination, price reduction, customer reimbursement, contract suspension or debarment from contracting with the U.S. government. Any of these results could adversely affect our financial
performance.



If we are unable to protect our intellectual property
adequately or license technology from third parties, we could lose our competitive advantage.



Our ability to compete effectively against competing technologies will depend, in part, on our ability to protect our current and future technology,
product designs and manufacturing processes through a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret and unfair competition laws. Although we assess the advisability of patenting any technological development, we have historically relied
on copyright and trade secret law, as well as employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements, to protect our proprietary intellectual property and rights. The protection afforded by such means may not be as complete as patent protection. In
addition, the laws of some countries do not protect trade secrets. In the event that our proprietary rights prove inadequate to protect our intellectual property, our competitors may:



| |  |  | independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information, products and techniques;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | otherwise gain access to our proprietary information; or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | design around our patents or other intellectual property.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------



In addition, much of our business and many of our products rely on key technologies developed by third parties, and we may not be able to obtain or
renew licenses or technologies from these third parties on reasonable



20



---

terms or at all. In addition, when we do not control the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of certain important intellectual property, such as a
technology licensed to us, the protection of the intellectual property rights may not be in our hands. If the entity that controls the intellectual property rights does not adequately protect those rights, our rights may be impaired which may impact
our ability to develop, market and commercialize the related products.



If
we are subject to litigation and infringement claims, they could be costly and disrupt our business.



In recent years, there has been significant litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights in many technology-related industries.
There may be patents or patent applications in the United States or other countries that are pertinent to our business of which we are not aware. The technology that we incorporate into and use to develop and manufacture our products may be subject
to claims that they infringe the patents or proprietary rights of others. The success of our technology efforts will also depend on our ability to develop new technologies without infringing or misappropriating the proprietary rights of others.



We have received in the past, and may receive in the future,
notices from third parties alleging patent, trademark or copyright infringement, claims regarding trade secrets or contract claims. Receipt of these notices could result in significant costs as a result of the diversion of the attention of
management from our technology efforts. If a successful claim were brought against us, we may be required to license the intellectual property right from the claimant or to spend time and money to design around or avoid the intellectual property.
Any such license may not be available at reasonable terms, or at all.



We may, however, be involved in future lawsuits, arbitrations or other legal proceedings alleging patent infringement or other intellectual property rights violations. In addition, litigation, arbitration or other legal proceedings may be
necessary to:



| |  |  | assert claims of infringement or misappropriation of or otherwise enforce our intellectual property rights;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | protect our trade secrets or know-how; or
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------



| |  |  | determine the enforceability, scope and validity of our intellectual property rights or those of others.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We may be unsuccessful in defending or pursuing these lawsuits or claims.
Regardless of the outcome, litigation can be very costly and can divert managements efforts. An adverse determination may subject us to significant liabilities or require us to seek licenses to other parties intellectual property rights.
We may also be restricted or prevented from developing, manufacturing, marketing or selling a product or service that we develop. Further, we may not be able to obtain any necessary licenses on acceptable terms, if at all.



In addition, we may have to participate in proceedings before the United
States Patent and Trademark office, or before foreign patent and trademark offices, with respect to our patents, patent applications, trademarks or trademark applications or those of others. These actions may result in substantial costs to us as
well as a diversion of management attention. Furthermore, these actions could place our patents, trademarks and other intellectual property rights at risk and could result in the loss of patent, trademark or other intellectual property rights
protection for the products and services on which our business strategy depends.



Our sales to foreign customers are subject to various export regulations, and the inability to obtain, or the delay in obtaining, any required export approvals would harm revenues.



Our sales to foreign customers are subject to export regulations. Sales of
various of our encryption and broadband products require clearance and export licenses from the U.S. Department of Commerce under these regulations. We cannot assure that such approvals will be available to us or our products in the future in a
timely manner, or at all, or that the federal government will not revise its export policies or the list of products and countries for which export approval is required. In addition, the Departments of Commerce or State may prevent



21



---

us from selling products to any of our distributors, customers or end-users at any time. These agencies may also place additional restrictions or
requirements relative to certain products exportability. Our inability to obtain, or a delay in obtaining, required export approvals would harm our international sales. In addition, foreign companies not subject to United States export restrictions
may have a competitive advantage in the international market. We cannot predict the impact of these factors on the international market for our products.



The Companys foreign transactions are subject to additional risks.



Foreign Corrupt Practices Act prohibits corporations and individuals, including the Company and its employees, from engaging in certain activities to
obtain or retain business or to influence a person working in an official capacity. Although the Company has implemented policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with these laws, there can be no assurance that all of the Companys
employees, contractors and agents, including those based in or from countries where practices which violate such United States laws may be customary, will not take actions in violation of the Companys policies. Any such violation, even if
prohibited by the Companys policies, could have a material adverse effect on the Companys business.



Our failure to comply with, or changes in, governmental regulation could adversely affect our business and operations.



Our private wireless communications and secured communications products, and
the spectrum within which these products are used, are subject to regulation by domestic and foreign laws and international treaties, as are our customers. In particular, our wireless radio products are regulated by the FCC. The regulatory
environment is uncertain. Changes in the regulatory structure, laws or regulations, or in the use or allocation of spectrum, could adversely affect us or our customers. Such changes could make our existing or planned products obsolete or not
sellable in one or more markets, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Further, our failure to comply in the future with applicable regulations could result in penalties on us, such as fines, operational restrictions, or a temporary or
permanent closure of our facilities.



We may be unable to meet the rapid
technology requirement required by our market.



The
products as complex as those under development by us frequently are subject to delays, and we cannot assure you that we will not encounter difficulties, such as the inability to assign a sufficient number of quality software and hardware engineers
to key projects or other unanticipated causes, that could delay or prevent the successful and timely development, introduction and marketing of new products or required product features. In addition, our products are implemented by certain
third-party hardware and software. We cannot assure you that we will be able to design, have manufactured, or procure from third parties, the hardware and software necessary to successfully implement our new products and applications.



Our inability to secure satisfactory bonding arrangements would adversely
affect revenues.



In the normal course of our business
activities, we are required under certain contracts with various government authorities to provide letters of credit and bonds that may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under our contracts. A number of factors can limit the availability of such
bonds, including a companys financial condition and operating results, a companys record for completing similar systems contracts in the past and the extent to which a company has bonds in place for other projects. Bonds, which expire on
various dates, totaled approximately $0.5 million at December 31, 2007, and, as of such date, no bonds have been drawn upon. However, if a customer for a systems contract declares an event of default under the outstanding bond related to the
system contract, the issuer of our bonds could reduce the maximum amount of bond coverage available to us, or impose additional restrictions with respect to the issuance of bonds on behalf of us. Our inability to secure bonding arrangements when
needed would adversely affect our ability to be awarded new systems installation contracts, which would adversely affect our revenues.



22



---

Our business and operating results will be harmed if we are unable to manage our business growth.



Our business has experienced periods of rapid growth that have placed, and
will continue to place, significant demands on our managerial, operational and financial resources. In order to manage this growth, we must continue to improve and expand our management, operational and financial systems and controls, including the
continued training of our employees. We must carefully manage research and development capabilities and production and inventory levels to meet product demand, new product introductions and product and technology transitions. We may not be able to
timely and effectively meet that demand and maintain the quality standards required by our existing and potential customers. If we do not effectively manage our growth or are unsuccessful in recruiting and retaining personnel, our business and
operating results will be harmed.



We face risks associated with
international operations that could harm our company.



Our
international operations located in Taiwan are subject to risks inherent in international business activities, including the tendency of markets outside of the U.S. to be more volatile and difficult to forecast than the U.S. market. Any of the
following factors, among other things, could adversely affect the success of our international operations:



| |  |  | Difficulties and costs of staffing and managing geographically disparate operations;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Overlap of different tax structures and regimes;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Meeting import and export licensing requirements;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Trade restrictions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------



| |  |  | Changes in general economic and political conditions in international markets.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Business, political, regulatory, or economic changes in foreign countries in which we market our products or services could adversely
affect our revenues.



Although our sales have historically
been denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of international currencies relative to the U.S. dollar may affect the price, competitiveness, economic attractiveness, and, ultimately, profitability of our products sold in international
markets. Furthermore, the uncertainty of monetary exchange values has caused, and may in the future cause, some foreign customers to delay new orders or delay payment for existing orders. Additionally, troubled economic conditions, in regions and
nations to which we presently market, could result in lower revenues for us.



In 2007, 2006 and 2005, international sales constituted approximately 4%, 18%, and 15% of revenues, respectively, most of which involve our higher margin secured communications products. While many of the
international sales are supported by irrevocable letters of credit or cash in advance, and thereby pose little credit risk, our international business could be adversely affected by a variety of factors presenting increased risks to profitability.
These factors include:



| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tariffs and other trade barriers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability in foreign markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in establishing foreign distribution channels;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer payment cycles or uncertainty in the collection of accounts receivable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cultural differences in the conduct of business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



23



---

| |  |  | natural disasters or acts or terrorism;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in protecting intellectual property; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | susceptibility to orders being cancelled as a result of foreign currency fluctuations.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



If the current Project 25 standard is supplanted by some other recommended protocol or is
otherwise not supported or mandated by the federal, state and local government agencies, it would adversely affect our operations, cash flows and financial condition.



In 1995, APCO promulgated a new recommended standard known as Project 25. Our private wireless communications marketing and research and
development efforts are substantially focused on Project 25 standard compliant equipment. We believe that sales of our Project 25 digital wireless radio products have been, and will continue in the foreseeable future to be, substantially dependent
upon Motorolas dominant position as a market leader in the Project 25 marketplace. Motorola is the largest manufacturer of Project 25 compliant wireless radio products and has been the principal public supporter of the Project 25 digital
transmission standard for the wireless radio market. If Motorola does not continue to support the standard, or if the Project 25 standard is otherwise abandoned by industry and government public safety and public service users, it would adversely
affect our operations, cash flows and financial condition. Further, if the industry materially accelerates its movement towards Phase II, the next generation of the APCO Project 25 standard, to the degree that our development efforts cannot keep
pace with Phase II compliant equipment, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results.



We face competitive pressures that could adversely affect revenues, gross margins and profitability.



The private wireless communications and secured communications equipment industries, and the wireless radio market segment in particular, are highly
competitive. Motorola and M/A-Com hold dominant and entrenched market positions in the domestic public safety and service market for wireless communication products. In addition, these competitors have financial, technical, marketing, sales,
manufacturing, distribution and other resources substantially greater than our resources. Finally, these competitors have established trade names, trademarks, patents and other intellectual property rights and substantial technological capabilities.
These advantages allow such competitors to:



| |  |  | respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | manage more extensive research and development programs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | undertake more far-reaching marketing campaigns;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | engage in more aggressive merger and acquisition strategies; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | adopt more aggressive pricing policies.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



In addition, other wireless communication technologies, including cellular telephone, paging, SMR, satellite communications and PCS currently compete and
are expected to compete in the future with certain of our stand-alone products. Some have already announced, or are expected to announce, the availability of Project 25 compliant products or digital land mobile radios as part of their product
offering. Also, we could lose some of our competitive advantage if our competitors obtain common criteria and FIPS 140-2 validation for their products. Accordingly, we cannot make any assurances that we will be able to continue to compete
effectively in the private wireless communications and secured communications equipment market, that competition will not intensify, or that future competition from existing or from new competitors will not have a material adverse effect on our
revenues, gross margins or profitability.



24



---

Our future success will depend upon our ability and the resources available to respond to the rapidly evolving
technology and customer requirements in the markets in which we operate.



The private wireless communications and secured communications markets in which we compete are rapidly evolving as a result of changing technology, industry standards and customer requirements. Our ability to compete
effectively will depend upon our ability to anticipate and react to these changes in a timely manner. We may not have adequate capital or human resources to respond to these changes.



Technological developments in the digital wireless radio industry include the use of digital trunking, digital simulcast and
digital voting technologies. Also, the standards under which we develop our products, such as the 802.11 standards, are rapidly evolving. These technologies have led a number of manufacturers to change the architectures and methodologies used in
designing, developing and implementing large wireless radio systems. In order for us to develop and integrate these new technologies and standards into our products, we have made a substantial investment in fixed assets and human resources. However,
there can be no assurance that such resources will be readily available to us in the future.



Our failure to incorporate these technologies into our wireless radio products could place our wireless radio products at a competitive disadvantage. This situation could possibly make our hand-held and mobile
wireless radios incompatible with systems developed by other manufacturers, which would have a material adverse effect on us.



Part of our success depends on our ability to commercialize our custom solutions to enable us to sell such solutions to other customers, including
government and commercial users. In addition, the rate of adoption of secure wireless data communications systems by the U.S. Government is not certain. Delays in this rate of adoption could adversely affect our future sales.



The loss of certain of our key personnel and any future potential losses of key personnel
or our failure to attract additional personnel could seriously harm our company.



We rely upon the continued service of a relatively small number of key technical, sales and senior management personnel. We have lost a number of key personnel as our voluntary attrition rate is generally higher than
the industrys average. Our future success depends on retaining our key employees and our ability to retain, attract and train other highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel.



Additional changes to our organizational structure may result in further
voluntary and involuntary attrition and loss of key personnel. Our employees can typically resign with little or no prior notice. Our loss of any of our key technical, sales and senior management personnel, and the intellectual capital that they
possess, or our inability to retain, attract and train additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.



|ITEM 2. | PROPERTIES
|------- | ----------



We executed a ten-year lease on a 40,000 square-foot administrative and manufacturing facility located at 1440 Corporate Drive in Irving, Texas. Pursuant
to a decision reached in April 2004, we moved our EFJohnson operations to this facility. On March 31, 2006, EFJohnson exercised an option under its existing lease agreement to purchase the facility for $3.6 million. Simultaneously, EFJohnson
sold the facility to an unrelated party for $4.6 million and EFJI, Inc. executed a 10 year lease for the facility terminating in March 31, 2016. The aggregate effect of the purchase and sale transaction was a gain of $1.0 million, which was
deferred at March 31, 2006, and is recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements and is being amortized over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense in general and administrative expenses. The annual
lease payments were approximately, $400,000 in 2006 increasing to $500,000 in 2007 reflecting an additional 10,000 square feet expansion in the facility beginning in the first quarter of 2007.

agreement terminating in June 2014; annual occupancy costs, including estimated common area maintenance charges, are approximately $218,000.



|ITEM 3. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|------- | -----------------



On February 5, 2001, ASRC Communication (ASRC) filed a complaint in United States District Court for the District of Alaska, against EF
Johnson seeking damages against EF Johnson on claims arising out of EF Johnsons sale of radio products to ASRC. ASRC purchased, and resold to the State of Alaska, approximately $0.5 million of products from EF Johnson since 1999. ASRCs
complaint anticipated that the State of Alaska would prosecute its claims against ASRC under an administrative procedure provided for under the Alaska State Procurement Code for damages associated with alleged malfunctions of EF Johnson radios.
Under a May 21, 2003 agreement between ASRC and EF Johnson (the ASRC Agreement), EF Johnson agreed to defend ASRC, at EF Johnsons expense, against any the State of Alaskas claim alleging non-performance of the EF Johnson
radios. In the event the State of Alaska prevailed in its claim, EF Johnson and ASRC agreed to allocate any award in favor of the State of Alaska in accordance with the formula in the ASRC Agreement. In addition, the parties agreed to resolve any
issue or dispute remaining between them after the conclusion of the State administrative proceeding through mediation and binding arbitration. Based upon the ASRC Agreement, ASRC



26



---

and EF Johnson dismissed the claims against each other. On or about April 6, 2004, the State of Alaskas Department of Administration, Information
Technology Group filed an administrative claim under the State Procurement Code against ASRC for damages associated with the EF Johnson radios. On June 30, 2005, the presiding administrative law judge granted the Companys motion to
dismiss, and dismissed the administrative claim without prejudice to renewal of the action if the matter is not resolved on the merits in the superior court. On January 12, 2007, the State of Alaska filed a complaint against ASRC in the
Superior Court for the State of Alaska, Case No. 3AN-07-4309Ci claiming damages of at least $0.6 million for breach of contract. Pursuant to the ASRC Agreement, we will defend and indemnify ASRC for any damages they incur.



This case was settled and paid in June 2007 for $0.2 million with no further
exposure associated with this claim.



We are involved in
certain other legal proceedings incidental to the normal conduct of our business. We do not believe that any liabilities relating to such other legal proceedings are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.



The total we
have accrued in regards to all legal proceedings as of December 31, 2007 was $0.2 million.

|ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Overview



EFJ, Inc. is a provider of secure wireless technologies primarily for the homeland security marketplace. Through our private wireless segment, we design,
develop, market and support private wireless communications, including wireless radios and wireless communications infrastructure and systems for digital and analog platforms. In addition and through our secured communications segment, we offer
encryption technologies for wireless voice, video and data communications and we also design, develop, market and support secure wireless networking solutions that include Wi-Fi products, mesh networking, access points, and client infrastructure
products. We provide our products and services to homeland security, defense, public safety and public service, international markets and business and industrial customers.



Private Wireless Communications



Our private wireless communications segment designs, develops, markets and supports secure wireless radios, wireless communications infrastructure and
systems. Our wireless radio offerings are primarily digital solutions designed to operate in both conventional analog and newer digital system environments. Our products and systems are based on industry standards designed to enhance
interoperability among systems, improve bandwidth efficiency, and integrate voice and data communications.



The private wireless communications industry provides two-way wireless communications through wireless networks, which include infrastructure components
such as base stations, transmitters and receivers, network switches and portable and mobile two-way communication radios. Individual users operate portable hand-held radios and vehicular-mounted radios in the private wireless communications system.
Utilizing free licensed RF spectrum, the customer owns and operates the private wireless communications system that is networked by linking the infrastructure components together. We develop customer solutions, which leverage the customers
private wireless system and wireless radios with customer specific or enterprise wide applications.



The majority of our revenue in our private wireless communications segment is derived from the sale of wireless radio products. Our federal, state and
local governmental agency customers are increasingly demanding interoperable, secured, private wireless communications products and systems. We believe this demand has created significant opportunities for us and we believe we are well positioned to
provide these products and systems. As a result, we expect to continue to allocate an increasing share of our on-going research and development expenditures to infrastructure components and system development efforts.



Our private wireless communications products and systems are sold
domestically through a direct sales force, dealers and manufacturing representatives. We utilize our dealer network to assist in installing, servicing, selling and distributing our products.



Secured Communications



Our secured communications segment designs, develops, markets and
supports wireless networking solutions that are customized to a clients security challenges and voice, video and data communication needs. The company designs and manufactures secure Wi-Fi products, including mesh networking, access point,
bridge, and client infrastructure products, as well as security software. We also provide sensor network solutions, through our InfoMatics® middleware, which enables sensors and databases
to communicate data to pertinent personnel for command and control applications in near real-time.



We also provide products with highly secure encryption technologies for analog wireless radios. These products are specifically designed to prevent
unauthorized access to sensitive voice communications. Our secured communications segment leverages our technology expertise, government relationships and leading



31



---

market position to gain new customers. In parts of the world where wireless radio systems remain analog, security needs are high, and the cost to upgrade to
a digital secured communications system is usually prohibitive.



For our secured communication products, we use a direct sales force, marketing arrangements and also utilize original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and original design manufacturing (ODM) arrangements for our
products sales and distribution. We utilize sales channel relationships with larger system integrators who provide solutions to large government agencies. Our international sales are primarily made through a specialized international direct sales
force in conjunction with company-authorized dealers/distributors, which typically provide a local contact and arrange for technical training in foreign countries. Our analog encryption secured communications products are sold as aftermarket add-on
components or embedded components for existing analog radios and systems. We have also developed an analog encryption product that uses digital technology in order to obtain higher levels of security and allows for compatibility with our analog
encryption product line.



Much of our business is obtained
through submission of formal competitive bids. Our governmental customers generally specify the terms, conditions and form of the contract. Government business is subject to government funding decisions and contract types can vary widely, including
fixed-priced, cost plus, indefinite-delivery/indefinite quantity, or IDIQ, and government-wide acquisition contracts with the General Services Administration, or GSA, which requires pre-qualification of vendors and allows government customers to
more easily procure our products and systems.



Our product
revenue is generated under purchase orders, which are made and generally fulfilled within a 90-day period. Our system revenue is generated under long-term contracts which may span several years and is recorded under the percentage-of-completion
method.



Going Forward



Previously the company was organized, and reported its financial results, as
a parent company with two segments, Private Wireless Communications and Secured Communications. Having recognized that the public safety/public service market is moving towards convergent telecommunications solutions and because we want to
continue to capitalize on the demand for interoperability and the transition from analog to digital platforms, we are reorganizing into a single centralized corporate structure. We believe the reorganized company, with centralized corporate
functions and eliminated redundant positions, will not only produce significant cost savings, but will result in a more cohesive approach to capitalizing on opportunities associated with our current technology offerings, executing our new technology
roadmap for convergence and interoperability, and expanding our sales opportunities. Our chief operating officer, a newly created position at EFJ, will lead consolidated operational areas including quality, engineering, sales, marketing,
administration, operations, customer service and information technology.



In light of these changes, the company has reassessed its segment reporting, and beginning with the first quarter of 2008, will no longer report its segments as Private Wireless and Secured Communications.



Factors Affecting Our Business



Fluctuations and Seasonality of ResultsDue to the timing of
orders and seasonality, our quarterly results fluctuate. In both our private wireless and secured communications segment, we experience seasonality in our results in part due to governmental customer spending patterns that are influenced by
government fiscal year-end budgets and appropriations. The unpredictable sales cycle and aftermarket nature of part of our secured communications business can also cause significant variations from quarter to quarter.



Gross MarginsThere are a number of factors that have impacted
and will impact our gross margins. These include:



| |  |  | Revenue MixWe have historically generated consistently higher gross margins from our secured communications products. The mix of revenues between our
private wireless communications and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



32



---

| | secured communications segments can cause our gross margins to vary from period to period. Within the secured communications segment, 3eTI does not replicate
the gross margin levels historically provided by Transcrypt, thus as Transcrypt revenues continue to significantly decline and 3eTI revenues grow, we expect this overall lower gross margins mix to continue in the future. Within the private wireless
communications segment, we also experience significant variability in our business mix that we expect will continue to impact our quarterly revenue levels and gross margin.
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | OutsourcingDuring 2004, we made the decision to design our own RF module and outsource manufacturing of our products and systems. Through the first
quarter of 2005, we produced most of our private wireless communications products at our Minnesota facility. As of March 31, 2005, the Minnesota facility was substantially closed, and we transitioned this production to our Texas-based outsource
vendor. In late 2004 and 2005, we also began integrating our own RF module instead of purchasing a third-party module. These activities negatively impacted our gross margins during 2005 and 2006 due to the complex processes, rework and inventory
arrangements established with our contract manufacturer. During the first quarter of 2006, our contract manufacturer was unable to produce enough radios to meet our customers demand, resulting in lower margins and increased inventory levels.
We satisfactorily addressed this supply chain issue and resumed delivering product to customers in April 2006. During 2006, we added a second contract manufacturer to improve price competition and quality as well as to mitigate production risk.
During 2007, we continued to experience increased inventory reserve requirements for raw materials and service stock coupled with increased levels of warranty claims associated with the RF module. We will continue to monitor our inventory and
warranty levels, claim experience and product mix to determine if additional reserves are required in 2008.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



ReorganizationOn November 15, 2007, the Company committed to an organizational plan (the Plan) to shift operationally from
three divisions into one integrated corporate structure. We anticipate the success of this reorganization will begin to positively impact our gross profits and operating expense structure in the second quarter of 2008 and into 2009.



Research and DevelopmentWith the adoption of the Project 25
standard, the need for digital product technology for government customers has increased. As such, we concentrate our research and development efforts on digital technology for our growing private wireless communications segment. We will continue to
develop products and systems in 2008 which comply with the Project 25 standard. Additionally, we plan to invest further research and development efforts in 3eTI supporting incremental product development and government certifications for our
products and software solutions.



In 2007, research and
development expenditures have been concentrated on:



| |  |  | trunked and conventional Project 25 system infrastructure, including repeaters, voters and base stations;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | applying standard internet protocol switching techniques for connecting wireless sites utilizing VoIP technology including wide area multi-site trunking;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | development of new lower cost radios with new features such as submersibility and the expansion to address the remaining private wireless frequency bands, new
vocoder and location based technologies; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | continued development of our wireless networking solutions such as intelligent video analytics, enhancement of industrial WLAN and secure supplicant software.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



General and
AdministrativeGeneral and Administrative includes expenses for non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.6 and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.



Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), and selected the modified prospective method to report stock-based compensation amounts in the consolidated financial statements. We are currently using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of all equity based grants. Prior to 2006, we accounted for stock options under the



33



---

recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations. For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 we
recognized stock compensation expense of $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.



General and Administrative also includes expenses for non-cash compensation from stock option re-pricing. In 2000 and 2001, we re-priced stock options to purchase 1,186,000 shares of common stock. As such, they are
subject to variable accounting treatment. Our non-cash compensation (benefit) expense from these re-priced stock options was $(0.3) million for the year ended December 31, 2005. As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, 14,022 of the 1,186,000
options to purchase shares of common stock remain outstanding. Upon our adoption of SFAS 123R, the expensing of the re-priced options under the variable accounting method was discontinued in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.



General and Administrative also includes $0.6 million of estimated costs
for the exit, disposal, certain severance and other charges associated with the reorganization of our operations announced in the fourth quarter of 2007. We anticipate an additional $0.5 of reorganization costs in the first half of 2008.



General and Administrative also includes impairment charges of $0.3
million for the annual impairment testing of our indefinite lived intangible assets associated with the 3eTI reporting unit of secured communications segment. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions.
Impairments are recorded if the reporting units fair value is less than the carrying value.



Amortization of IntangiblesAmortization expense, related to intangible assets which are subject to amortization, was $1,613 for the year
ended December 31, 2007. Amortization expense of intangible assets subject to amortization is anticipated to be approximately $1.5 million for 2008 and declining annually thereafter through 2016.



Intangible assets were purchased as part of the acquisition of 3eTI.
Intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis. Additionally, intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed
for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets consisting of trademark and trade name and certifications are not subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment at least annually as noted above.



Impairment of GoodwillRepresents goodwill impairment charges of
$5.5 million for the annual impairment testing of our goodwill tested in the fourth quarter of 2007 associated with the 3eTI reporting unit of secured communications segment. Our goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of December 31 of
each year unless events or circumstances would require an immediate review. Goodwill amounts are generally allocated to the reporting units based upon amounts allocated at the time of their respective acquisition. Because of delays in key new
business opportunities and near-term growth opportunities considered in our original assessment of 3eTI that did not materialize within the expected timelines, it was necessary to lower cash flow projections for this reporting unit. Specifically, we
reduced the revenue and margin projections based on our recent financial performance and future performance expectations of the reporting unit. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. Impairments
are recorded if the reporting units fair value is less than the carrying value. Further impairment adjustments that may be required in future periods that could have a material adverse impact on our financial statements.



Description of Operating Accounts



Revenues.    Revenues consist of product sales,
services, and government funded research and development services and solutions net of returns and allowances. Longer-term system and government services revenues are recognized under the percentage of completion method.



34



---

Cost of Sales.    Cost of sales includes costs of components and materials,
labor, depreciation and overhead costs associated with the production of our products and services, as well as shipping, royalty, inventory reserves, warranty product costs, and incurred cost under sales contracts.



Gross Profit.    Gross profit is net revenues less
the cost of sales and is affected by a number of factors, including competitive pricing, product mix, business segment mix, cost of products and services, and conversion costs.



Research and Development.    Unreimbursed research and development expenses consist primarily of
costs associated with research and development personnel, materials, and the depreciation of research and development equipment and facilities. We expense all unreimbursed research and development costs as they are incurred while all research and
development expenses that are reimbursed by our government customers are included as a component of cost of sales.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs of sales personnel,
including sales commissions and travel expenses, as well as costs of advertising, product and program management, public relations and trade show participation.



General and Administrative.    General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other expenses
associated with our management, accounting, IT and administrative functions. This expense also includes the impact of equity-based compensation expense, the variable accounting treatment of repriced stock options prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R
and costs related to our operating facilities moves. Pertinent to 3eTI, accounting for government contracts delineates what is a direct charge allowable to include in contract costs and what is considered to be an indirect charge reflected as
general and administrative expenses. We consider indirect engineering labor and operating costs such as quality, planning, operations, and company fringe benefits, general administrative salaries and other general administrative expenses as general
and administrative expense. This expense also includes impairment charges associated with the indefinite lived intangible assets acquired in the 3eTI acquisition.



Amortization of Intangibles.    Amortization of Intangibles consist primarily amortization
expense associated with the definite lived intangibles assets acquired in the 3eTI acquisition. Definite lived intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over
their useful life on a straight-line basis.



Impairment of
Goodwill.    Impairment of goodwill consists of impairment charges resulting from impairment tests associated with the goodwill asset acquired in the 3eTI acquisition.



Net Interest Income or Expense.    Net interest
income (expense) consists of interest income earned on cash and invested funds, net of interest expense for capital leases, commitment fees on the term note and bank line of credit.



Provision for Income Taxes.    Provision (benefit) for income taxes includes the increase or
decrease in the valuation reserve that is based upon managements conclusions regarding, among other considerations, our historical operating results and forecasted future earnings over a five year period, our current and expected customer base
projections, and technological and competitive factors impacting our current products. Current financial accounting standards require that organizations analyze all positive and negative evidence relating to deferred tax asset realization, which
would include our historical accuracy in forecasting future earnings, as well as our history of losses prior to 2001. Should factors underlying managements estimates change, future adjustments, either positive or negative, to our valuation
allowance may be necessary. Our tax asset is principally composed of net tax benefits associated with net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or
GAAP, requires management to make judgments, estimates and



35



---

assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. We regularly evaluate
the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare our financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, application of the percentage of completion accounting
for long-term contract revenues, inventory reserves, warranty reserves, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, and contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be
reasonable under the particular applicable facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



We consider our critical accounting policies to be those that involve significant judgments and uncertainties, require estimates that are more difficult
for management to determine, and have the potential to result in materially different outcomes under varying assumptions and conditions. The application of GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and accompanying results. Listed below are those policies we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. For further discussion, see Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.



Revenues



If collection is reasonably assured, and no significant future obligations or contingencies associated with the sale exist,
revenues for product sales are recognized when delivery occurs, less an estimate for an allowance for returns or doubtful accounts, if applicable. For shipments where collection is not reasonably assured, we recognize revenue as cash is received. If
collection is contingent on a future contractual event, we recognize revenue when the contingency lapses, generally upon cash collection.



System sales under long-term contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, revenues are recognized as work on
a contract progresses. The recognized revenue is that percentage of estimated total revenues that incurred costs to date bear to estimated total costs to complete the contract. Revisions in cost and profit estimates are made when conditions
requiring such revisions become known. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in operations as soon as such losses are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable. If our estimates of total costs to complete certain contracts are
inaccurate, revenue and gross margin could be impacted.



Government funded services revenue from cost plus contracts is recognized as costs are incurred on the basis of direct costs plus allowable indirect costs and an allocable portion of the fixed fee. Revenue from fixed-type contracts is
recognized under the percentage of completion method with estimated costs and profits included in contract revenue as work is performed. Revenue from time and materials contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the
agreed billing amounts.



Deferred revenues include unearned
services provided under systems maintenance contracts. We recognize the fees based upon a straight-line method over the life of the contract.



We periodically review our revenue recognition procedures to assure that such procedures are in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting
Bulletins 101 and 104, Statement of Position 81-1 and other interpretations, as applicable. In addition, while most of our current products contain software, we believe the software is incidental in the overall context of our products features
and functionality, therefore, at present we do not use revenue recognition pronouncements applicable to software sales.



Receivables



Accounts receivable are presented in the balance sheet at net realizable value, which equals the gross receivable value less allowance for bad debts and
estimated returns and allowances. Such allowances are based upon our estimate of non-collectibility due to customer factors, such as payment history and customer classification. If our estimates of non-collectibility prove to be inaccurate, we may
be required to record a larger allowance.



36



---

Other receivables consist of credits due from the outsourced private wireless communication manufacturers
as a result of inventories purchased or transferred for production.



Inventories



Inventories are recorded at the
lower of cost or market with cost based on a standard cost method. We periodically assess our inventory for potential obsolescence and lower-of-cost-or-market issues. We make estimates of inventory obsolescence, providing reserves when necessary,
and adjust inventory balances accordingly. We consider, among other factors, demand for inventories based on backlog, product pricing, the ability to liquidate or sell older inventories, the impact of introducing new products, and compliance with
laws and regulations, including the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS). If our estimate proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to adjust our reserves accordingly.



Inventories comprised of components and parts on hand to support maintenance
of products previously sold, or Service Inventory, are anticipated to be utilized over extended periods of time. Service inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market.



Goodwill and Other Intangibles Assets



Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of identifiable net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We assess the
recoverability of the indefinite lived tangible and intangible assets by performing a fair value impairment test, at least annually. If the respective carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the indefinite lived tangible and intangible assets are
considered to be impaired and written down to its estimated net realizable value. In evaluating impairment, we estimate the sum of the expected future cash flows derived from such indefinite lived tangible and intangible assets and present value
implied by estimates of future revenues, costs and expenses and other factors. The estimates use assumptions about our market segment share in the future and about future expenditures by government entities for private wireless communications and
secured communications products. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of indefinite lived tangible and intangible assets may not be recoverable. To the extent our assumptions
change, we may be required to adjust the carrying value of the indefinite lived tangible and intangible assets. Identifiable intangible assets with identifiable fixed lives, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and
covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis. If our estimates of the fair value of indefinite lived intangible assets are inaccurate, future impairment charges may be required.



Warranty Costs



We generally provide a one-year warranty on our products. We estimate future warranty claims based on historical experience
and anticipated costs to be incurred. Warranty expense is accrued at the time of sale with an additional accrual for specific items after the sale when their existence is known and amounts are determinable.



Income Taxes



We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. 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 current enacted tax rates.
The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are provided to the extent that recoverability of tax assets
is not considered likely. In determining recoverability of the future tax benefits associated with our deferred tax asset, management takes into account, among other factors, our historical operating results, our current and expected customer base,
technological and competitive factors impacting our current products, and managements estimates of future earnings that are based upon a



37



---

five-year earnings projection, using information currently available, and discounted for risk. If we fail to achieve revenue growth rates or gross margins
assumed in the calculation of the deferred tax asset, we may be required to place a valuation allowance on future deferred tax assets.



Long-Lived Assets



We review our long-lived assets, to include intangible assets subject to amortization, for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of such long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to:



| |  |  | a significant decrease in the market price of the long-lived asset;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant change in the extent or manner in which the long-lived asset is being used;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant change in the business climate that could affect the value of the long-lived asset;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a current period loss combined with projection of continuing loss associated with use of the long-lived asset; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a current expectation that, more likely than not, the long-lived asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



We continually evaluate whether events and
circumstances have occurred which may indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. When such events or circumstances exist, the recoverability of the long-lived assets carrying value shall be determined by estimating the
undiscounted future cash flows (cash inflows less associated cash outflows) that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset. To date, no such impairment
has occurred. To the extent such events or circumstances occur that could affect the recoverability of our long-lived assets, we may be required to impair these assets.



Stock-based Compensation



Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the value of the award and
is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period of the award. Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating stock price
volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. To the extent our estimates used in calculating fair value are adjusted, the amount of compensation costs we would be required to record could change.

Comparison of the Fiscal years
Ended December 31, 2007 and 2006



Revenues.    Our revenues increased $57.9 million, or 60%, to $154.6 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 from $96.7 million for fiscal 2006. In 2007, the private wireless communications
segment revenues comprised $129.5 million, or 84% of total revenues, and the secured communications segment revenues comprised $25.1 million, or 16% of total revenues.



Private wireless communications revenues increased $64.3 million to $129.5 million in 2007 from $65.2 million in 2006. This 99% increase
was primarily driven by revenues generated from one large Department of Defense order.



Secured communications revenues decreased $6.4 million to $25.1 million in 2007 from $31.5 million in 2006. This 20% decrease is attributable to a significantly higher than anticipated decline in Transcrypts
analogue encryption revenues of $4.3 million in 2007 down 79% from $20.5 million in 2006. This decrease in Transcrypts revenue was partially offset by the inclusion of an entire year of 3eTI revenue of $20.8 million in 2007 versus six
months of revenue of $11.1 million in 2006.



Gross
Profit.    Our gross profit increased $9.0 million, or 25%, to $44.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2007 from $35.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in gross profit was due to the
private wireless communications segment increasing by $18.9 million versus the decline in gross profit from the secured wireless segment of $9.9 million resulting from the changes in revenue mix noted above. Gross margin was 29% in 2007, as compared
to 37% for the same period in 2006. The overall decrease in gross margin is reflective of decreased gross margins in the secured communications segment of 46% versus gross margin of 68% that was achieved during 2006. This decline was partially
offset by improved gross margins achieved in the private wireless communications segment of 25% during 2007 versus gross margins of 21% in 2006.



The gross margin for the private wireless communications segment was 25% and 21% in 2007 and 2006, respectively. The private wireless communications gross
margin in 2007 improved from 2006 primarily due to



39



---

higher volume of sales absorbing quality control overheads with improved sales mix and cost reductions during 2007. Offsetting these favorable improvements
in 2007 were increased inventory reserves of $1.9 million for raw material and service stock coupled with warranty reserves $2.4 million related to increased repair work related to RF Module changes and higher sales volumes in our private
wireless communications segment.



During 2007, gross margin for
the secured communications segment decreased to 46% from 68% in 2006. The lower 2007 margin for the secured communications segment was attributable to the decline in high margin Transcrypt revenue noted above. The 3eTI gross margins are
approximately half of Transcrypts historical margins.



Research and Development.    Research and development expenses increased $3.4 million to $15.7 million in 2007 compared to $12.3 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were
10% of revenues for 2007 and 13% for 2006. The increase in research and development expenses in 2007 was primarily attributable to new product development requiring project, prototype and testing costs. 3eTI invests in the development products for
commercial customers in addition to their government funded SBIR programs.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses increased $3.2 million, or 30%, to $13.6 million in 2007 from $10.5 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing
expenses were 9% of revenues for 2007 and 11% for 2006. This increase is the result of higher commission expenses associated with the increased revenues in the private wireless segment and the inclusion of a full year of sales and marketing expenses
for our 3eTI branded products.



General and
Administrative.    General and administrative expenses increased $5.3 million, or 28%, to $24.2 million for 2007 from $18.9 million in 2006. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 16% of revenues
for 2007 and 20% for 2006, respectively.



Included in general
and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2007 was $1.6 million related to equity based compensation expense required by SFAS 123R. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we recorded equity compensation expense of $1.8
million. The overall increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to the inclusion of 3eTI administrative expenses of $6.3 million for a full year in 2007 compared to $3.5 million for six months ended December 31,
2006. Also included were impairment charges of $0.3 million for the annual impairment testing of our indefinite lived intangible assets associated with the 3eTI reporting unit of secured communications segment. Private wireless communications
expenses increased $1.9 million primarily relating to higher professional fees, property tax and bad debt expenses. Also, included in general and administrative expenses is a restructuring charge of $0.6 million.



On November 15, 2007, the Company committed to an organizational plan
(the Plan) to shift from three divisions to one integrated corporate structure focused on secure wireless communications for government and industrial customers. The Plan is designed to achieve profitability and to support a new
technology roadmap driving towards a streamlined and more effective structure. Implementation of the Plan includes senior and middle management changes as well as staff reductions designed to eliminate redundant positions and reflect the
Companys decision to close down production in three locations, with all outsourcing to be centralized in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. We expect to reduce annualized expenses by $3.0 million to $5.0 million in 2008.



In connection with the Plan, the Company anticipates incurring approximately
$1.1 million in total costs resulting in corresponding cash expenditures of $1.1 million during 2008. The Company recorded an expense of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2007 with the remainder expected to be incurred in the first six months of
2008. The Company estimates these costs will consist primarily of severance, relocation, and other employee-related costs.



Amortization of Intangibles.    For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded $1.6 million and $0.7 million
of amortization mainly associated with the intangibles acquired in the July 2006 acquisition of



40



---

3eTI. The overall increase is due to a full years amortization recorded in 2007 for 3eTI intangibles versus the six months of 3eTI amortization
in 2006. Intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis.



Impairment of GoodwillIn the fourth quarter of 2007, we performed our annual evaluation of the goodwill assets
resulting in impairment charges of $5.5 million associated with the goodwill 3eTI reporting unit in the secured communications segment. Because of delays in key new business opportunities and near-term growth opportunities considered in our original
assessment of 3eTI that did not materialize within the expected timelines, it was necessary to lower cash flow projections for this reporting unit. Specifically, we reduced the revenue and margin projections based on our recent financial performance
and future performance expectations of the reporting unit. Therefore, we concluded that the fair value of this reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the associated goodwill.



In-Process Research and Development Expense.    For the year ended December 31, 2006, we
recorded a one time charge of $1.6 million for in-process research and development expenses associated with the acquisition of 3eTI. The technologies underlying the in-process research and development charge are based on two primary complex
development efforts neither of which had reached technology feasibility at the date of acquisition. Both technology efforts are expected to be fully developed and released as products to meet the needs of different groups of customers either on a
stand alone basis or as an integral part of a solutions offering.



Interest Income (Expense), Net.    Net interest income (expense) decreased $1.1 million to $(.03) million in 2007 from $1.1 million in 2006. The decrease in net interest income is attributable to a full year of
interest on the term loan associated with the 3eTI acquisition and lower interest income earned on cash balances for 2007.



Income Tax Benefit (Expense).    For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recorded an income tax (expense) /
benefit of $(21.5) million and $0.7 million, respectively. The increase in tax expense for 2007 reflects a $26.5 million increase in the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets and certain business credits and adjustments. The increase in the
valuation allowance in 2007 is based upon managements conclusions regarding, among other considerations, our cumulative loss position during 2007, 2006 and 2005, our current backlog, current and expected customer base, technological and
competitive factors impacting our current products, and managements estimates of future earnings based on information currently available. As of December 31, 2006, we had $23.7 million in deferred tax assets before the valuation allowance
of $3.8 million.



Net Income
(loss).    Net income (loss) was $(37.7) million in 2007, a loss increase of $30.9 million, or 455%, as compared to a net loss of $(6.8) million in 2006.



Income tax expense of $21.5 million made up 56% of the net loss. The operating loss for secured communications segment of
$(12.3) million made up 33% of the net loss. This loss from secured communications segment is mainly due to impairment losses (noted above) coupled with the significantly higher than anticipated decline in Transcrypts high margin revenue. The
private wireless communications segment operating loss decreased $(12.4) million to $(3.8) million during 2007 from $(16.2) million during 2006. The primary reason driving this loss reduction was the successful shipment of a large Department of
Defense order that was completed in 2007.



Comparison of the Fiscal years
Ended December 31, 2006 and 2005



Revenues.    Our revenues increased $2.1 million, or 2%, to $96.7 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 from $94.6 million for fiscal 2005. In 2006, the private wireless communications segment
revenues comprised $65.2 million, or 67% of total revenues, and the secured communications segment revenues comprised $31.5 million, or 33% of total revenues.



Private wireless communications revenues increased $0.6 million to $65.2 million in 2006 from $64.6 million in 2005. This 1% increase was principally
the result of an increase in revenues relating to sales of products to state and local governments and partially offset by a decline in federal sales during 2006.



41



---

Secured communications revenues increased $1.5 million to $31.5 million in 2006 from $30.0 million in
2005. This 5% increase was the result of post acquisition revenues of $11.1 million from 3eTI offset by a $9.6 million decrease in sales to customers located in the Middle East in 2006.



Gross Profit.    Our gross profit decreased $13.5 million, or 28%, to $35.4 million in the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006 from $48.9 million for fiscal 2005. Gross margin was 37% in 2006, as compared to 52% for the same period in 2005. The decrease in overall gross margins reflects decreased gross margins of $8.5 million in private
wireless communications and decreased margins in secured communications of 5.0 million during 2006.



The gross margin for the private wireless communications segment was 21% and 35% in 2006 and 2005 respectively. The private wireless communications gross
margin in 2006 was impacted by significant changes in business mix which resulted in lower standard product margins by 11% during the year. The standard cost changes in our inventories, which resulted from cost reduction programs and increased
supplier competition at year end, lowered overall margin by $1.1 million. Additionally, costs were incurred due to the complex operational process flows with our outsourcing partners resulting in fourth quarter book to physical adjustments and
production scrap costs of $1.2 million.



During 2006, gross
margin for the secured communications segment decreased to 68% from 88% in 2005. The lower 2006 margin for the secured communications segment substantially resulted from economies of scale achieved by Transcrypt in 2005 which were not replicated in
2006 as well as the impact of 3eTI gross margins which are approximately half of Transcrypts historical margins.



Research and Development.    Research and development expenses decreased $1.4 to $12.3 million in 2006 compared to $13.7
million in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, research and development expenses were 13% of revenues for 2006 and 14% for 2005. The decrease in research and development expenses in 2006 was primarily due the significant effort in 2005 associated with
the development of our wireless communications replacement RF module and the resources assigned to our conventional and trunking infrastructure products.



Sales and Marketing.    Sales and marketing expenses increased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $10.5 million in 2006 from $10.3 million
in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, sales and marketing expenses were 11% of revenues for both 2006 and 2005. The slight increase in sales and marketing expenses was attributable to increased trade show activity and marketing efforts during 2006.



General and
Administrative.    General and administrative expenses increased $5.9 million, or 46%, to $18.9 million for 2006 from $13.0 million in 2005. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses were 20% of revenues
for 2006, as compared to 14% during 2005.



Included in general
and administrative expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 was $1.8 million related to equity compensation expense required by SFAS 123R. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, we recorded a benefit of $0.3 million
related to the variable repricing of certain stock options. The variable repricing of these options was discontinued upon our adoption of SFAS 123R. Additionally, in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, general and administrative expenses
included $3.5 million of general and administrative expenses of 3eTI.



Amortization of Intangibles.    For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded $0.7 million of amortization associated with the intangibles acquired in the 3eTI acquisition. Intangible assets,
consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis.



In-Process Research and Development Expense.    For the twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we recorded a one time
charge of $1.6 million for in-process research and development expenses associated with the



42

acquisition of 3eTI. The technologies underlying the in-process research and development charge are based on two primary complex development efforts neither
of which had reached technology feasibility at the date of acquisition. Both technology efforts are expected to be fully developed and released as products to meet the needs of different groups of customers either on a stand alone basis or as an
integral part of a solutions offering.



Interest Income
(Expense), Net.    Net interest income (expense) increased $0.4 million to $1.1 million in 2006 from $0.7 million in 2005, due to a full year of interest earned on invested funds following the equity offering in the third
quarter of 2005 partially offset by interest expense incurred on the term loan associated with the acquisition of 3eTI.



Income Tax Benefit.    Our income tax benefit decreased to $0.7 million in 2006 from $10.0 million in 2005, which primarily
reflects the 2006 operating loss offset by increases in the valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets and certain business credits and adjustments. As of December 31, 2006, we had $23.7 million in deferred tax assets before the valuation
allowance of $3.8 million. The increase in the valuation allowance in 2006 is based upon managements conclusions regarding, among other considerations, our operating results during 2006, 2005 and 2004, our current and expected customer base,
technological and competitive factors impacting our current products, and managements estimates of future earnings based on information currently available.



Net Income (loss).    Net income (loss) was $(6.8) million in 2006, a decrease of $29.3 million,
or 130%, as compared to net income of $22.5 million in 2005.



The private wireless communications operating loss increased $8.8 million to $16.2 million during 2006 from $7.4 million during 2005, due to the first quarter supplier related stop ship and fourth quarter operating performance resulting
from a decline in revenues and margin contribution associated with postponed customer orders, standard cost revaluation and inventory related adjustments described above. The operating income for secured communications decreased $11.4 million to
$7.6 million in 2006 from $19.0 million in 2005 due to a $9.6 million decrease in sales to Middle East customers in 2006 offset by post acquisition revenues of $11.1 million from 3eTI at lower margins.

variability in our results of operations from quarter to quarter. The level of revenues in a particular quarter varies primarily based upon the timing of customer purchase orders, due principally to the seasonal nature of governmental budgeting
processes and the needs of competing budgetary concerns of our customers during the year. Other factors that affect the results of operations in a particular quarter include the timing of the introduction of new products, general economic
conditions, the timing and mix of product sales and specific economic conditions in the private wireless communications and secured communications industries. We believe that quarterly results are likely to vary for the foreseeable future.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



In connection with the acquisition of 3eTI, the total consideration paid by
EFJ consisted of $36.0 million in cash, which includes $3.6 million to be held in escrow to indemnify EFJ for any claims under the Agreement. The acquisition was funded from $21 million in cash and a $15 million term loan under an amended credit
facility.



We amended our secured line of credit agreement with
Bank of America in July 2006 to include a revolving line of credit of up to $15.0 million and a term loan of $15.0 million. Both borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin
(LIBOR Margin) determined by our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Following the renegotiation of this agreement, the $15.0 million term loan was fully funded and used
to finance the acquisition of 3e Technologies International, Inc.



The loan agreement as amended with Bank of America (the Loan Agreement) provides for customary affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of corporate existence, rights, property, books and records and insurance,
compliance with contracts and laws, and certain reporting requirements, as well as limitations on debt, liens, fundamental changes, acquisitions, transfers of assets, investments, loans, guarantees, use of proceeds, sale-leaseback transactions and
capital expenditures. In addition, the Loan Agreement as amended contains certain financial covenants including a maximum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The Loan Agreement as amended also provides for events of
default that would permit the Lender to accelerate the loans upon their occurrence, including failure to make payments, breaches of representations and warranties, insolvency events, acceleration of other indebtedness, failure to discharge
judgments, material adverse effects, certain breaches of contracts, casualty losses when no or insufficient insurance is maintained, changes of control, certain ERISA events and failure to observe covenants. As collateral for the obligations under
the Loan Agreement as amended, the Lender has a security interest in substantially all assets of the Borrowers, including accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment, real estate, and general intangibles.



On July 19, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that
effectively converts the variable LIBOR component of the interest rate on the $15.0 million term loan to a fixed rate of 5.64%. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, EFJ will pay 5.64% and the counterparty will pay LIBOR on a monthly
basis. The interest rate swap agreement terminates on June 30, 2010, the termination date of the term loan.



We were not in compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ending December 31, 2006. As a result, on March 5,
2007 we executed an Amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby



45



---

the Bank of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one time basis and amended the Loan Agreement to revise such financial covenants, to modify
the advance and borrowing revisions under the Loan Agreement and for certain other purposes more fully set out in the amendment.



We were not in compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. As a result, on March 10,
2008 we executed an Amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby Bank of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one time basis and amended the Loan Agreement to, among other things, revise such financial covenants, add additional
covenants, and to modify the advance and borrowing revisions under the Loan Agreement. In order to maintain compliance with the terms of the Amendment, we are required to maintain a certain level of EBITDA and minimum
liquidity for each of the 2008 quarterly financial reporting periods.



For the 2009 quarterly financial reporting periods, the covenants revert back to a minimum funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, the interest rate on the revolving note issuable pursuant to the Loan
Agreement has been amended to be equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% through March 31, 2009, and thereafter to LIBOR plus a rate between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on our ratio of debt to EBITDA.



Letters of credits and bonds.    In the normal
course of our business activities related to sales of wireless radio systems to local and state governmental entities, we are required under contracts with various government authorities to provide letters of credit or performance or bid bonds that
may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under our contracts. Our outstanding letters of credit had a total undrawn balance of $0.3 million on December 31, 2007. Performance and bid bonds, which expire on various dates, totaled $0.5 million at
December 31, 2006. Our current bonding arrangement calls for zero-collateral bonding up to $7.0 million; however, no single bond may exceed $2.0 million. We believe our bonding arrangements provide us with sufficient bonding availability
through 2008.



The Companys primary sources of liquidity
are its cash and cash equivalents which were $15.6 million at December 31, 2007. Due to the net losses in 2007 and 2006, we considered several key factors in assessing the liquidity requirements of the company for the next twelve months.
Management developed operational cash flow projections which factor in our backlog of orders, the cost savings of $3 million to $5 million anticipated from the companys reorganization, and our historical collection and payment patterns with
customers and vendors. We analyzed these projections against our modified bank covenants for 2008 noting that on a proforma basis the covenants would be met. We noted that we are current and have made timely interest payments on our term note.
Furthermore, we may utilize our revolving line of credit to borrow supported by the underlying borrowing base of the company. Based on this these factors among others, we believe that our available cash, financing and cash flow from operations will
be adequate to meet our anticipated needs for at least the next twelve months.



Net cash from operating activities.    Our operating activities provided / (used) cash of ($3.8) million, $6.5 million, and ($13.4) million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Cash
provided by or used in operating activities is primarily a reflection of our collections on billed receivables, investment in inventories and expenditures for operations.



During 2007, we collected $155.6 million of billed receivables that effectively increased cash from operating activities by $2.1 million.
Additionally, $104.4 million was used to purchase inventories and $8.7 million was provided from other operating expenses. Inventory purchases were higher than in the prior year due to fulfillment of a large Department of Defense order in our
private wireless communications segment. Additionally, the inventory balances have increased at December 31, 2007 due to business mix changes which resulted in inventory utilization patterns that were different than projected in the private
wireless communications and secured wireless segments at the end of the year.



During 2006, we collected $110.9 million of billed receivables that effectively increased cash from operating activities by $17.6 million. Additionally, $62.6 million was used to purchase inventories and $44.7 million
was used for other operating expenses. Inventory purchases were higher than in the prior year due to projected increases in sales in our Private Wireless segment and inventory increases related to the acquisition of

3eTI. Additionally, the inventory balances have increased at December 31, 2006 due to business mix changes which resulted in inventory utilization
patterns that were different than projected in the Private Wireless segment during the year.



During 2005, we collected $79.1 million of billed receivables that effectively reduced cash from operations by $17.5 million. This reduction primarily related to three significant accounts with the departments of the
federal government included in the private wireless communication segment. Additionally, $54.5 million of cash was used to purchase inventories and $35.9 million was used for operating expenses.



Net cash from investing activities.    During the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we used $3.5 million, $38.9 million and $2.5 million in investing. During 2007, $3.2 million was used to purchase fixed assets. In July 2006, $36.1 million was used to acquire 3e TI as described
above and in Footnote 19 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. On March 31, 2006, $3.6 million was used to purchase and $4.6 million was provided from the sale of the EFJohnson facility in Irving, Texas. In 2006, cash of $4.2
million was used to purchase fixed assets. During 2005, $3.0 million was used to purchase fixed assets.



Net cash from financing activities.    Financing activities provided cash of $0.1 million in 2007, $16.1 million in 2006, $45.5
million during 2005. In July 2006, financing activities provided $15.0 million through the issuance of a term note as described above. During 2005, cash of $45.1 million was generated by the sale of 6,900,000 shares of common stock in August, 2005.



Dividend policy



Since our initial public offering, we have not declared or paid any
dividends on our common stock. We presently intend to retain earnings for use in our operations and to finance our business. Any change in our dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on
our earnings, debt service and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, if any, business conditions and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.



Operating leases



We also lease various equipment and buildings under operating leases. Future minimum rental payments under non-cancelable operating lease agreements are
shown below in the table under the subheading Contractual Obligations. Of the $7.3 million total operating lease obligations, $4.7 million relates to the leases of our operating facilities for our private wireless communications
segment, with leases expiring through March 2016; $3.4 million relates to our secured communications segment, with a lease expiration in June 2014 and $(0.8) million relates to sale lease back gain amortization and short term sublet premises.
We anticipate that, in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced as they expire.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements



As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated
entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, or VIEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other
contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of December 31, 2007, we are not involved in VIE transactions.



|ITEM 7A. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|-------- | ----------------------------------------------------------



Our financial instruments consist of cash, cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments, trade accounts receivable,
accounts payable and long-term obligations. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields without increasing risk. As of December 31, 2007, we had an investment portfolio of
short-term investments in a variety of interest-bearing instruments, consisting of United States government and agency securities, high-grade United States corporate bonds, municipal bonds, mortgage-backed securities and money market accounts. Due
to the short duration of our investment portfolio, a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would not be material to our financial condition or results of operations.



Although all of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, fluctuations in the value of international currencies relative to the U.S.
dollar may affect the price, competitiveness and profitability of our products sold in international markets. Furthermore, the uncertainty of monetary exchange values has caused, and may in the future cause, some foreign customers to delay new
orders or delay payment for existing orders. Additionally, troubled economic and political conditions could result in lower revenues for us. While many of our international sales are supported by letters of credit or cash in advance, the purchase of
our products by international customers presents increased risks, which include:



| |  |  | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | tariffs and other trade barriers;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | political and economic instability in foreign markets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in establishing foreign distribution channels;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | longer payment cycles or uncertainty in the collection of accounts receivable;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increased costs associated with maintaining international marketing efforts;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cultural differences in the conduct of business;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | natural disasters or acts of terrorism;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | difficulties in protecting intellectual property; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | susceptibility to orders being cancelled as a result of foreign currency fluctuations since all our quotations and invoices are denominated in U.S. dollars.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Export of our products is subject to the
U.S. Export Administration regulations and some of our secured communications products require a license or a license exception in order to ship internationally. We cannot assure that such approvals will be available to us or our products in the
future in a timely manner or at all or that the federal government will not revise its export policies or the list of products, persons or countries for which export approval is required. Our inability to obtain required export approvals would
adversely affect our international sales, which would have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, foreign companies not subject to United States export restrictions may have a competitive advantage in the international secured communications
market. We cannot predict the impact of these factors on the international market for our products.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157), which provides guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities, as well as requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 indicates that fair value should be determined based on the assumptions
marketplace participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and provides additional guidelines to consider in determining the market-based measurement. In January 2008, the FASB deferred the effective date of SFAS 157 for certain
nonfinancial assets and liabilities to the first quarter of 2009. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 157 on January 1, 2008. The Company does not
expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment
of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective in the first quarter of 2008. At adoption, the company did not elect the fair value
option for certain assets and liabilities and this does not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combination (SFAS 141R), which replaces FASB Statement
No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquire and the
goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which
the acquisition date is on or after an entitys fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 141R on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other
than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is
deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective
as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of SFAS 160 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

|-------------------- | --------------



Disclosure Controls and Procedures



In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, or the Disclosure Controls, as of the year ended December 31, 2007. This evaluation, or the controls evaluation, was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including
our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer, or CFO. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this
report.



Disclosure Controls are procedures designed with the
objective of ensuring information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this Annual Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.



Our Disclosure Controls are also
evaluated on an ongoing basis by our Finance department. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our Disclosure Controls and to make modifications as necessary. Our intent in this regard is that the Disclosure
Controls will be maintained as dynamic systems that change (including with improvements and corrections) as conditions warrant.



Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting



As part of our normal operations, we update our internal controls as necessary to accommodate any modifications to our business processes or accounting
procedures. No change occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting



Internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) refers to the
process designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, 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. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting.



We have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007. This evaluation was performed using the Internal Control  Integrated Framework developed by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such evaluation, management has
concluded that, as of such date, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. The attestation report issued by Grant Thornton LLP on our internal control over financial reporting is included elsewhere in this report.

MANAGEMENTS REPORT



Managements
Report on Financial Statements:



Our management is
responsible for the preparations, integrity and fair presentation of information in our consolidated financial statements, including estimates and judgments. The consolidated financial statements presented in this report have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Our management believes the consolidated financial statements and other financial information included in this report fairly present, in all material respects,
our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the periods presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements have been audited by Grant Thornton, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated
in their report, which is included herein.



Managements Report on
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:



Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting. Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.



Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:



| |  |  | Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and our directors; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisitions, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material
effect on the financial statements.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Because
of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over
financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.



Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal
ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of
December 31, 2007. Our effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting has been audited by Grant Thornton, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.



Audit Committee Oversight:



The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of
independent directors, has oversight responsibility for our financial reporting process and the audits of our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee meets regularly with management and
with our internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm (collectively, the auditors) to review matters related to the quality and integrity of our financial reporting, internal control over financial reporting
(including compliance matters related to our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct), and the nature, extent, and results of internal and external audits. Our auditors have full and free access and report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit
Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors and Stockholders

EFJ, Inc. and Subsidiaries



We
have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EFJ, Inc. (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits of the basic financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index
appearing under Item 15 (a) (2). These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
the financial statement schedule 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of EFJ, Inc and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects, the information set forth therein.



As described in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment, effective January 1, 2006.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors and Stockholders

EFJ, Inc. and Subsidiaries



We
have audited EFJ, Inc.s (a Delaware Corporation) and subsidiaries (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on criteria established inInternal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Companys management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Managements Report. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our
audit.



We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.



A companys 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. A companys internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the companys assets
that could have a material effect on the financial statements.



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.



In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based
on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Frameworkissued by COSO.



We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets
of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders equity and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2007 and our report dated March 13, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

1.    Significant Accounting Policies:



The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in
the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.



Organization



We are a provider of secure wireless and private wireless
solutions which are sold to: (1) domestic and foreign public safety / public service entities, (2) federal, state and local governmental agencies, including the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense, and (3) domestic and
foreign commercial customers. Through EFJohnson, Transcrypt and 3eTI we design, develop, market, and support:



| |  |  | mobile and portable wireless radios;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------



| |  |  | stationary transmitters / receivers (base stations or repeaters);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | infrastructure equipment and systems;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | secure encryption technologies for proprietary wireless radios;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | customized wireless network centric products and systems to the federal government primarily under government funded Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)
programs; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | niche hardware and secure software technologies for the WLAN markets primarily in the government and industrial controls sectors.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Principles of Consolidation



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EFJ, Inc. and
our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.



Cash and Cash Equivalents



All highly-liquid investments with original maturities less than 90 days are considered cash equivalents. We place our temporary cash investments with
high-credit financial institutions. Such investments are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.



Revenue Recognition



If
collection is reasonably assured, and no significant future obligations or contingencies associated with the sale exist, revenues for product sales are recognized when delivery occurs, less an estimate for an allowance for returns or doubtful
accounts, if applicable. For shipments where collection is not reasonably assured, we recognize revenue as cash is received. If collection is contingent on a future contractual event, we recognize revenue when the contingency lapses, generally upon
cash collection. Our sales typically do not provide the customer with the right of return except as provided under our warranties.



System sales under long-term contracts are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, revenues are recognized as work on
a contract progresses. The revenue recognized in each period is the pro rata portion of costs incurred over estimated costs to complete the contract. Revisions in cost and profit estimates are made when conditions requiring such revisions become
known. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized as soon as such losses are determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(in thousands, except per share and per share date)



Government funded services revenues from cost plus contracts are recognized as costs are incurred on
the basis of direct costs plus allowable indirect costs and an allocable portion of the fixed fee. Revenues from fixed-type contracts are recognized under the percentage of completion method with estimated costs and profits included in contract
revenue as work is performed. Revenues from time and materials contracts are recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed billing amounts.



Deferred revenues include unearned fees on systems maintenance contracts sold to customers. We recognize the fees ratably
over the life of the contract, generally on a straight-line basis.



We periodically review our revenue recognition procedures to assure that such procedures are in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletins 101 and 104, Statement of Position 81-1 and other interpretations as applicable. In
addition, while most of our current products contain software, we believe the software is incidental in the overall context of our products features and functionality, therefore, at present we do not use revenue recognition pronouncements
applicable to software sales.



Our policy does not require
significant collateral or other security to support the substantial portion of its receivables. However, we typically request prepayment or letters of credit on certain foreign sales that carry higher than normal risk characteristics.



Receivables



Accounts receivable are presented in the balance sheet at net realizable value, which equals the gross receivable value less
allowance for bad debts and estimated returns and allowances. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due. Such allowances are based upon our estimate of non-collectibility due to customer factors such as
payment history and customer classification. The Company writes off specific accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The
allowance for returns and doubtful accounts increased from $788 (or 3.3% of gross receivable value) at December 31, 2006 to $1,636 (or 7.1% of gross receivable value) at December 31, 2007.



Other receivables are primarily attributable to credits due from the
outsourced private wireless communication manufacturers as a result of inventories purchased or transferred for production. Of the $6,944 and $8,673 balances at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, approximately $6,430 and $8,221 relate to
these credits. The transactions reflected as other receivables are not revenue generating transactions.



Shipping Costs



Shipping costs are included in cost of sales.



Inventories



Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market with
cost based on a standard cost method. We periodically assess our inventories for potential obsolescence and lower-of-cost-or-market issues. We make estimates of inventory obsolescence, providing reserves when necessary, and adjust inventory balances
accordingly. We consider, among other factors, demand for inventories based on backlog, product pricing, the ability to liquidate or sell older inventories, and the impact of introducing new products.

EFJ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(in thousands, except per share and per share date)



Inventories comprised of components and parts on hand to support maintenance of products previously
sold, or service inventories, are anticipated to be utilized over extended periods of time. Service inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market.



Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Our policy is to capitalize expenditures for major improvements and to charge to operating expenses
the cost of maintenance and repairs. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: buildingsfifteen to thirty years; leasehold improvementsthe lesser of the term of the
lease or fifteen years; equipment and furniture and fixturestwo to seven years; computer applications (software) one to three years. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of assets retired or otherwise disposed of are eliminated from
the respective accounts at the time of disposition. Any resulting gain or loss is included in current operating results.



Intangible Assets



Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of identifiable net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired. Other
indefinite lived intangible assets consist of trademark, tradenames, and certifications that are not subject to amortization. We assess the recoverability of goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing a fair value impairment
test of the respective reporting unit, at least annually and if a triggering event were to occur in an interim period. If the respective carrying amount exceeds the fair value, goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets are considered to
be impaired and written down to its estimated net realizable value. In evaluating impairment, we estimate the sum of the expected future cash flows derived from such reporting unit and present value implied by estimates of future revenues, costs and
expenses and other factors. The estimates use assumptions about our market segment share in the future and about future expenditures by government entities for private wireless communications and secured communications products. We continually
evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining balance of goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets may not be recoverable. To the extent our assumptions change, we may be required to adjust the
carrying value of the goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Additionally, specifically identifiable intangible assets with identifiable fixed lives, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants
not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis.



Derivatives



In connection with our term loan,
we have entered into an interest rate swap agreement, which is reported as a derivative financial instrument at fair value in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the fair value of the derivative are included each period in accumulated
other comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements if the derivative is designated as effectively hedged. Any ineffective portion is recognized currently into earnings. We enter into derivative transactions to manage our exposure to
fluctuations in interest rates, and to decrease volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in variable interest rates underlying our term loan. We do not enter into derivative transactions for speculative or trading purposes.



The cash flows of the interest rate swap are expected to be
highly effective in offsetting cash flows attributable to fluctuations in the cash flows of the floating rate term loan. If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will no longer occur, the interest rate swap will continue to be carried on
the balance sheet at fair value, and gains or losses that were deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be recognized



F-10

EFJ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(in thousands, except per share and per share date)



immediately into earnings. If the interest rate swap agreement is terminated prior to its expiration date, any cumulative gains and losses will be deferred
and recognized into earnings over the remaining life of the underlying exposure.



We use the cumulative approach to assess effectiveness of this cash flow hedge. The measurement of hedge ineffectiveness is based on the cumulative dollar offset method. To date, the interest rate swap has been highly
effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the fluctuations in the cash flows of the hedged risk, and no amount has been required to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings for hedge ineffectiveness.



Warranty Costs



We generally provide a one-year warranty on our products. We estimate future
warranty claims based on historical experience and anticipated costs to be incurred. Warranty expense is accrued at the time of sale with an additional accrual for specific items after the sale when their existence is known and amounts are
determinable.



Income Taxes



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 and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred income 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. We periodically evaluate the deferred tax asset and assess the need for a valuation
allowance based upon our estimate of the recoverability of the future tax benefits associated with the deferred tax asset.



Income Per Share



Basic net income per share is calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Outstanding options at
December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, to purchase 1,295,222, 1,291,172 and 1,267,767 shares of common stock, with weighted average exercise prices of $6.93, $6.91 and $5.97 were used in the computation of common share equivalents for 2007, 2006 and
2005, respectively.



At December 31, 2007, 1,143,560 of
the 1,295,222, at December 31, 2006, 441,120 of the 1,291,172 and at December 31, 2005, 361,550 of the 1,267,767 outstanding options were excluded from the computation of weighted average shares outstanding because their exercise prices
were above the annual average trading price of our common stock.



Although we have disclosed both basic and dilutive weighted average common shares, only basic weighted average shares were used to compute earnings per share in years in which there is a net loss.



Research and Development Costs



Research and development (R&D) costs are expensed as
incurred. Equipment purchased with alternative future benefit in R&D activities is capitalized and resulting depreciation is recorded as R&D expense. Additionally, R&D costs include employee salaries directly related to R&D efforts
and all other costs directly allocable to R&D efforts, including equipment for which there is no alternative use. R&D costs are presented

separately as an operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Certain legal costs incurred in securing patents may be capitalized.



Interest Income



Interest income is recognized as earned on cash, cash equivalents and notes
receivable.



Recently Issued Accounting Standards



In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which provides guidance for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities, as well as requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 indicates that fair value should be
determined based on the assumptions marketplace participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and provides additional guidelines to consider in determining the market-based measurement. In January 2008, the FASB deferred the effective
date of SFAS 157 for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities to the first quarter of 2009. SFAS 157 is effective for financial assets and liabilities in the first quarter of 2008. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 157 on January 1,
2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.



In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
LiabilitiesIncluding an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 allows companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value. SFAS 159 is effective in the first quarter of 2008. At adoption,
the company did not elect the fair value option for certain assets and liabilities and this does not have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combination (SFAS 141R), which replaces FASB Statement No. 141. SFAS 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the
liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS
141R is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after an entitys fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the
adoption of SFAS 141R on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statementsan amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (SFAS 160), which establishes accounting and
reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest and
the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys fiscal year that begins after December 15, 2008. We are currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption
of SFAS 160 on our Consolidated Financial Statements.



Management Estimates



The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect carrying amounts of



F-12



---

EFJ, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES



NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(in thousands, except per share and per share date)



assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of financial statement dates, as well as the reported revenues and expenses
for the years then ended. These estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns, application of the percentage of completion accounting for long-term contract revenues, inventory
reserves, warranty reserves, valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, and contingencies. These estimates are based on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the particular applicable facts and
circumstances. Actual results may differ from our estimates.



Accounting For
Stock-Based Compensation



For the years ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized compensation expense under the guidelines prescribed by SFAS No. 123R of $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively related to options and $0.03 million and $0.5 million related to restricted
stock grants and restricted stock units. Prior to 2006, we accounted for stock compensation under the recognition and measurement provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations.



Stock Option Plans



We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of all stock option grants and stock satisfied
stock appreciation rights (SSARs) (collectively equity based awards). For equity based awards issued in the year December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005 the following weighted-average assumptions were used:



|                           |  |            |   |  |            |   |  |          |  
|-------------------------- |  | ---------- | - |  | ---------- | - |  | -------- | -
|                           |  | 2007       |   |  | 2006       |   |  | 2005     |  
|Expected option life       |  | 3.75 years |   |  | 4.75 years |   |  | 10 years |  
|Expected annual volatility |  | 110        | % |  | 96         | % |  | 39       | %
|Risk-free interest rate    |  | 3.45       | % |  | 4.59       | % |  | 4.39     | %
|Dividend yield             |  | 0          | % |  | 0          | % |  | 0        | %



Had compensation cost
for our stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2005, our net income and pro forma net income per share would have been as follows:



|                                                                             |  |      |        |

|                                                                             |  |      |        |  
|                                                                             | 
|Net income per share, basicas reported                                      |  | $    | 1.07   |  
|Net income per share, dilutedas reported                                    |  | $    | 1.06   |  
|                                                                             | 
|Pro forma net income per share, basic                                        |  | $    | 1.01   |

The weighted average
fair value per option at date of grant during 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $5.82, $7.51 and $8.72, respectively.



Restricted Stock Plan



Restricted stock units issued during 2007 vest over a four year period from the date of grant. Restricted stock issued during 2006 vests over a three year period from the date of grant. Restricted stock issued to

While substantially
all of our products are manufactured by third parties, we continue to acquire raw materials for use in production by the third parties. Transfers of these raw materials to each manufacturer are not included in sales. The inventory balances have
increased at December 31, 2007 due to inventory purchases for introduction of new products coupled with shipment delays that resulted in inventory utilization patterns different than projected in the private wireless communication and secured
wireless communication segments. The increase in the reserve for obsolescence from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007 relates primarily due to raw materials coupled with service stock held to provide maintenance to our customer base.

Depreciation expense
was $2,827, $2,348, and $1,715 as of December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.



5.    Goodwill and Intangible Assets



Our goodwill and intangible assets are tested for impairment annually as of December 31 of each year unless events or circumstances would require an
immediate review. Goodwill and intangible asset amounts are allocated to the reporting units based upon amounts allocated at the time of their respective acquisition. Intangible assets, consisting of existing technology, customer relationships,
license and covenants not-to-compete, are amortized over their useful life on a straight-line basis. Intangible assets consisting of trademark and trade name and certifications are not subject to amortization.



We performed fair value-based impairment tests at December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005 related to the EF Johnson reporting unit concluding no impairment of its related goodwill or trade name had occurred as of these dates.



We performed fair value-based impairment tests at December 31, 2007 related to the 3eTI reporting unit in the secured wireless segment. Because of
delays in key new business opportunities and near-term growth opportunities considered in our original assessment of 3eTI that did not materialize within the expected timelines, it was necessary to lower cash flow projections for this reporting
unit. Specifically, we reduced the revenue and margin projections based on our recent financial performance and future performance expectations of the reporting unit. Upon completion of the impairment test, we concluded that the fair value of this
reporting unit was lower than the carrying value of the associated goodwill and its trade name. Therefore, we reported an impairment charge of $5.5 million related to goodwill and $0.3 million related to the trade name. In-process research and
development acquired in the acquisition of $1.6 million was expensed in 2006.



The change in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 is shown in the following table:



|                             |  |      |        |   |      |   |

6.    Note
Payable and Line of Credit



We amended our line of credit
agreement with Bank of America in July 2006 to retain our revolving line of credit of up to $15.0 million and include a term loan of $15.0 million (the Loan Agreement). Both borrowings bear interest at a variable rate based on the London
Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (LIBOR Margin) determined by our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). The LIBOR Margin was 175 basis points at
December 31, 2007. The interest rate in effect at December 31, 2007 was 6.975 percent. The Loan Agreement expires June 30, 2010.



The $15.0 million term loan was fully funded and used to finance the acquisition of 3eTI as described in Note 19 below. At December 31, 2007 and
2006, no borrowings have been made on the revolving line of credit. Letters of credit, under our line of credit were $250 and during 2007 and $272 during 2006. The total available credit under the line of credit was $13,262 and $10,886 as of
December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively.



The Loan
Agreement provides for customary affirmative and negative covenants, including maintenance of corporate existence, rights, property, books and records and insurance, compliance with contracts and laws, and certain reporting requirements, as well as
limitations on debt, liens, fundamental changes, acquisitions, transfers of assets, investments, loans, guarantees, use of proceeds, sale-leaseback transactions and capital expenditures. In

addition, the Loan Agreement contains certain financial covenants including a maximum ratio of funded debt to EBITDA and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The
Loan Agreement also provides for events of default that would permit the lender to accelerate the loans upon their occurrence, including failure to make payments, breaches of representations and warranties, insolvency events, acceleration of other
indebtedness, failure to discharge judgments, material adverse effects, certain breaches of contracts, casualty losses when no or insufficient insurance is maintained, changes of control, certain ERISA events and failure to observe covenants. As
collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement the Lender has a security interest in substantially all assets of the borrowers, including accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, real estate, and general intangibles.



We were not in compliance with the financial covenants of the
Loan Agreement for the quarter ended December 31, 2006. As a result, on March 5, 2007 we executed an Amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby the Bank of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one time basis and amended the
Loan Agreement to revise such financial covenants, to modify the advance and borrowing revisions under the Loan Agreement and for certain other purposes more fully set out in the amendment.



We were not in compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement
for the quarter ending December 31, 2007. As a result, on March 10, 2008 we executed an Amendment to the Loan Agreement whereby Bank of America waived such financial covenant defaults on a one time basis and amended the Loan Agreement to,
among other things, revise such financial covenants, add additional covenants, and to modify the advance and borrowing revisions under the Loan Agreement. In order to maintain compliance with the terms of the Amendment, we
are required to maintain a certain level of EBITDA and minimum liquidity each of the 2008 quarterly financial reporting periods.



For the 2009 quarterly financial reporting periods, the covenants revert back to a minimum funded debt to EBITDA ratio and fixed charge coverage
ratio. In addition, the interest rate on the revolving note issuable pursuant to the Loan Agreement has been amended to be equal to LIBOR plus 2.00% through March 31, 2009, and thereafter to LIBOR plus a rate between 1.00% and 1.75% depending
on our ratio of debt to EBITDA.



Future principal payments of
long-term debt as of December 31, 2007 are as follows:



|                        |  |   |

|7. | Interest Rate Swap Agreement
|-- | ----------------------------



On July 19, 2006, in connection with the amended loan agreement, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement that effectively converts the
variable LIBOR component of the interest rate on the $15.0 million notional amount of the term loan to a fixed rate of 5.64%. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company will pay 5.64% and the counterparty will pay LIBOR on a
monthly basis. The interest rate swap agreement terminates on June 30, 2010, the termination date of the term loan. The fair value of the interest rate swap is $0.7 million and is included with other long-term liabilities and accumulated other
comprehensive loss in the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2007.

|8. | Leases:
|-- | -------



EFJ, Inc. and EF Johnsons facilities are in Irving, Texas. Under the lease agreement, we exercised an option to purchase this facility for $3.6
million on March 31, 2006 (see Note 21) and simultaneously sold the facility and entered into a ten year lease agreement, expiring March 31, 2016. The annual lease payments are $500 in 2007 reflecting an additional 10,000 square feet
expansion in the facility beginning in the first quarter of 2007.



Effective May 1, 2007, 3eTI executed a lease for an administrative facility located in Rockville, Maryland. The lease will expire in May 2012. The annual lease payments are approximately $400 with a three percent increase on each
anniversary date. 3eTIs manufacturing facility is located in Indiana, Pennsylvania. The lease will expire in January 2008 and we will occupy the premises on a month to month basis. The annual lease payments are approximately $124.



3eTI has a Taiwan administrative and manufacturing branch office in
Taipei, Taiwan. A portion of the lease will expire in April 2009 and the remaining lease will expire in October 2009. We have made arrangements to terminate these leases in March 2008 (see Note 22). Annual occupancy costs are approximately $48.



Transcrypts facility is in Lincoln, Nebraska located in
a minor portion of an industrial park and is leased pursuant to a ten-year agreement expiring in June 2014, with an option for Transcrypt to renew for an additional five years. Annual occupancy costs, including common area maintenance charges, are
approximately $218.



We also lease additional warehouse
facilities in: Irving, Texas; Waseca, Minnesota; Indiana, Pennsylvania; King George, Virginia and Gaithersburg, Maryland.



We also lease various equipment and buildings under operating leases. We anticipate that, in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or
replaced as they expire. Rent expense for all operating leases was $1.6 million, $1.3 million and $0.8 million for the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Rent expense is recorded on the straight-line method considering contractual rents due
and escalation clauses in the individual contracts.

Taxable net operating
loss carryforwards (NOLs), totaling approximately $65,258 at December 31, 2007, originated in 1997 through 2007 and expire in 2017 through 2027. The NOLs at December 31, 2007 include $3,861 expense attributable to income
recognized by employees through the exercise of our stock options which would be recognized as an increase to additional paid in capital upon the full utilization of the previously described NOLs and tax credits. We also have $3,478 in general
business credits which were earned in 1997 through 2007 and expire in 2011 through 2027.



In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax
assets is entirely dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and
tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to realize fully its deferred tax asset, we will need to generate future taxable income of at least $83.2 million prior to expiration of our NOLs,

tax credit carryforwards, and tax benefit described above. Taxable income (loss), before application of NOLs, for the years ended December 31, 2007,
2006 and 2005 was approximately ($3,214), ($5,240) and $5,991, respectively.



In determining recoverability of the future tax benefits associated with its deferred tax asset, we take into account, among other factors, our operating results during 2007, 2006, and 2005, our current and expected
customer base, technological and competitive factors impacting our current products, and our estimates of future earnings which are based upon a five-year earnings projection, using information currently available, discounted for risk. Based on
these determining factors, we have provided a valuation allowance for all of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2007 due to the uncertainty regarding their future realization. Should factors underlying our estimates change, future
adjustments to the valuation allowance may be necessary.



We
recorded a net deferred tax liability associated with the non amortizing indefinite lived intangibles of $1,489 at December 31, 2007 after the tax effected impairment charge (see Note 5). As a result of the increase in the valuation allowance
in 2006, the impact of our acquisition of 3eTI and the fair value adjustment for interest rate swap, our net deferred tax asset recorded on the balance sheet decreased to $19,929 at December 31, 2006.



We adopted the provisions of Financial Standards Accounting Board
Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (SFAS 109)on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold that a tax
position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements and provides guidance on recognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition issues. The Company
has unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.5 million that increased $0.1 million during 2007 relating to carry forward of business credits. The adoption of FIN 48 did not result in the recognition of additional tax liability for unrecognized
income tax benefits since the tax benefits have not been included in prior income tax return filings. In addition, future changes in the unrecognized tax benefit will have no net impact on the effective tax rate due to the existence of the valuation
allowance.



As of December 31, 2007, we have no accrual
requirement for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions since the tax benefits have not been included in prior income tax return filings. Accrued interest relating to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of
interest expense and penalties related to uncertain tax positions would be recorded as a component of general and administrative expenses.



The tax years 2003-2007 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. Additionally, upon inclusion of the NOL and
R&D credit carry forward tax benefits from tax years 1996 to 2002 in future tax returns, the related tax benefit for the period in which the benefit arose may be subject to examination.



A reconciliation of our unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

|--- | ------------------------------



On February 5, 2001, ASRC Communication (ASRC) filed a complaint in United States District Court for the District of Alaska, against EF
Johnson seeking damages against EF Johnson on claims arising out of EF Johnsons sale of radio products to ASRC. ASRC purchased, and resold to the State of Alaska, approximately $0.5 million of products from EF Johnson since 1999. ASRCs
complaint anticipated that the State of Alaska would prosecute its claims against ASRC under an administrative procedure provided for under the Alaska State Procurement Code for damages associated with alleged malfunctions of EF Johnson radios.
Under a May 21, 2003 agreement between ASRC and EF Johnson (the ASRC Agreement), EF Johnson agreed to defend ASRC, at EF Johnsons expense, against any the State of Alaskas claim alleging non-performance of the EF Johnson
radios. In the event the State of Alaska prevailed in its claim, EF Johnson and ASRC agreed to allocate any award in favor of the State of Alaska in accordance with the formula in the ASRC Agreement. In addition, the parties agreed to resolve any
issue or dispute remaining between them after the conclusion of the State administrative proceeding through mediation and binding arbitration. Based upon the ASRC Agreement, ASRC and EF Johnson dismissed the claims against each other. On or about
April 6, 2004, the State of Alaskas Department of Administration, Information Technology Group filed an administrative claim under the State Procurement Code against ASRC for damages associated with the EF Johnson radios. On June 30,
2005, the presiding administrative law judge granted the Companys motion to dismiss, and dismissed the administrative claim without prejudice to renewal of the action if the matter is not resolved on the merits in the superior court. On
January 12, 2007, the State of Alaska filed a complaint against ASRC in the Superior Court for the State of Alaska, Case No. 3AN-07-4309Ci claiming damages of at least $0.6 million for breach of contract. Pursuant to the ASRC Agreement, we
will defend and indemnify ASRC for any damages they incur.

This case was settled and paid in June 2007 for $0.2 million with no further exposure associated with
this claim.



We are involved in certain other legal proceedings
incidental to the normal conduct of our business. We do not believe that any liabilities relating to such other legal proceedings are likely to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to our business, financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows.



The total we have accrued in regards
to all legal proceedings as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.



In the normal course of our business activities, we are required under contracts with various government authorities to provide letters of credit and
bonds that may be drawn upon if we fail to perform under these contracts. At December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 we had open letters of credit totaling $0.3 million. Bonds, which expire on various dates, totaled $0.5 million on
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. No bonds had been drawn upon at either date.



|13. | Option Plans:
|--- | -------------



Under our 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the 2005 Plan), any employee, including any director, non-employee director or independent
contractor, is eligible to be considered for the issuance of shares of common stock or of any other class of security or right which is convertible into common stock. There are approximately 241,310 remaining shares available to be issued under the
2005 Plan as of December 31, 2007. The plan provides that, unless otherwise provided by the plan committee, any stock option granted shall have an exercise price not less than 100% of the market value of a share of common stock on the date the
option is granted and that the term of such option shall be seven years from date of grant with vesting of the options at a rate of 25% per year.



In July 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the use of and awards of Stock Satisfied Stock Appreciation Rights
(SSARs) as an equity instrument for grants to certain key employees of the Company pursuant to the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. We made grants of 61,000 SSARs to key employees that vest over a four year period
and expire in five years. Accordingly, the fair value compensation expense of $0.2 million is being recorded over the four year vesting period. We recognized compensation expense of $0.023 million in the year ended December 31, 2007.



Under our 1996 Stock Incentive Plan (the 1996
Plan), any employee, including any director, non-employee director or independent contractor, was eligible to be considered for the issuance of shares of common stock or of any other class of security or right which is convertible into common
stock. The 1996 Plan expired pursuant to its terms on December 31, 2006. The plan provided that, unless otherwise provided by the plan committee, any stock option granted shall have an exercise price not less than 100% of the market value of a
share of common stock on the date the option is granted and that the term of such option shall be ten years from date of grant with vesting of the options at a rate of 20% per year.

At December 31,
2007 and 2006, there is $3.8 million and $4.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and SSARs remaining to be recognized. Under SFAS 123R, any tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation
costs are reported as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows as was prescribed prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R. Due to our significant net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs), we have not reflected these excess deductions since
they have not yet reduced taxes payable.



During 2000 and 2001,
we cancelled and reissued options to purchase 620,000 and 366,000 shares of common stock, respectively, under the 1996 Plan to lower the exercise price of those options to an amount approximately 150% of the prevailing market value of our common
stock (the repricing), $0.656 per share. The repricing of the stock options resulted in a new measurement date for accounting purposes and the reclassification of these options as variable plan awards beginning on the date of the
repricing. Further, in 2001, similar to the aforementioned repricing decision, we decreased the exercise price of options covering 200,000 shares of common stock issued to our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) in 1999 (pursuant to the
Michael Jalbert 1999 Stock Option Agreement, hereafter referred to as Mr. Jalberts Option Agreement) from $1.4375 to $0.656 per share. We previously accounted for these option grants as fixed plan awards. The resulting non-cash
compensation is dependent upon our closing stock price at the end of the respective period. Relating to these re-priced options, compensation benefit of $0.3 million was recorded at December 31, 2005. These amounts are included in general and
administrative expenses. Upon our adoption of SFAS 123R in 2006, the expensing of re-priced shares under the variable accounting method was discontinued in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R.



As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, repriced options covering
approximately 14,000 shares, in various stages of vesting, were outstanding, none of which related to options issued to our CEO. In the first quarter of

2004, the CEO and former CFO adopted pre-arranged stock selling plans, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, in regards to the
repriced option shares held by them. Under the pre-arranged stock selling plans, stock options were exercised contemporaneously with the sales of the resulting shares. The respective selling of the stock commenced in the second quarter of 2004 and
was completed in the second quarter of 2005. Any non-cash compensation related to these options are fixed at the time the options are exercised; prior to exercise, the options continued to be subject to variable accounting treatment. The CEO and
former CFO, in aggregate, exercised options to purchase approximately 308,000 shares of common stock during both the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.



For the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in non-cash stock
compensation relating to stock option and SSARs grants.



|14. | Restricted Stock Plan and Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------



In November 2005, our board of directors granted 170,000 shares of restricted stock, at a fair value of $9.34 per share, to the CEO and members of
the board of directors under the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. The vesting of the restricted stock is determined based on the achievement of at least 80% of a specified revenue target and 80% of a specified EBITDA target. For purposes of
vesting, the revenue and EBITDA targets are weighted equally at 50% and the vesting of the restricted stock is based on the prorata achievement of each target above the 80% level. Since the actual number of shares may vary based upon achievement of
the revenue and EBITDA targets, we recorded these grants as variable awards with performance arrangements and recognized an increase of $0.14 million in both unearned stock compensation and additional paid in capital due to changes in the market
price of our stock through December 31, 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company recognized $.03 million of expense associated with restricted stock grants.



Effective with the adoption of SFAS 123R, changes, either increases or decreases, in the estimated fair value of the shares
between the date of grant and the final vesting date generally do not result in a change in the measure of compensation cost as previously reported. Compensation cost for these grants is recognized as expense based on the remaining service period
and consideration of performance criteria included in the restricted grant. At December 31, 2005, we had recorded unearned stock compensation of $1.7 million as a component of stockholders equity based on our prior treatment of the
restricted stock grants under APB 25. As required under SFAS 123R, this balance was reversed into paid in capital upon adoption of SFAS 123R.



In the fourth quarter of 2007, management reviewed the probability of meeting the performance based criteria and targets for the 170,000 shares of
restricted stock. We concluded that the revenue and EBITDA targets described above are now not likely to be met and discontinued the expense recognition associated with these shares. Furthermore, the cumulative effect of the change in expense
recognition should be recognized in the period of change; accordingly, the cumulative expense of $0.66 million was reversed in the fourth quarter of 2007.



In July, 2007 the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved the use of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) the equity instrument for
grants to certain key employees of the Company pursuant to the 2005 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. We made grants of 15,500 RSUs to key employees that vest over a four year period and expire in five years. Accordingly, the fair
value compensation expense of $0.08 million is being recorded over the four year vesting period. We recognized compensation expense of $0.008 million in the year ended December 31, 2007.



In March, 2006, an additional restricted stock grant of 62,500 shares was
made to the CEO. This restricted stock vests on March 9, 2009 if the CEO is employed by the Company through October 14, 2008. This grant was accounted for under the provisions of SFAS 123R. Accordingly, the full fair value compensation
expense of $0.7 million is being recorded over the three year service period.

Pursuant to the 1999
Non-Employee Director Stock Purchase Plan (the 1999 Plan), the non-employee directors of the Company may elect to receive some or all of their compensation for serving on the Board of Directors of the Company in the form of Company
common stock. During 2007 and 2006, Veronica Haggart and Thomas Thomsen elected to participate in the 1999 Plan. For the year ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized $0.02 million and $0.03 million in common stock compensation
in lieu of director fees, respectively.



|15. | Benefit Plans:
|--- | --------------



We have a profit sharing plan, which covers substantially all employees. Contribution levels are determined annually by the Board of Directors. There were
no profit sharing contributions in any of the three years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.



We also have a 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all employees of EFJ, E.F. Johnson and Transcrypt. Participants may contribute up to the federal
limit of their annual compensation. After one year of employment,

we make matching contributions of 50% for the first 6% of the amount contributed by participants. Contributions may not exceed the maximum allowable by law.
Our contributions approximated $312, $268 and $213 for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The contributions made by the Company vest 25% after two years of service, 50% after three years of service, 75% after four
years of service and 100% after five years of service.



We also
have a 401(k) plan that covers substantially all the employees of 3eTI. Participants may contribute up to the federal limit of their annual compensation. 3eTI makes matching contributions of 50% for the first 5% of the amount contributed by
participants. Contributions may not exceed the maximum allowable by law. Our contributions approximated $122 and $27 for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The contributions made by the Company vest 33% after one year of
service, 66% after two years of service and 100% after three years of service.



|16. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
|--- | ------------------------------------



The carrying amount of our current assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The carrying amount
of our term loan approximates fair value as it is based on prevailing market rates of interest. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreement represents the amount required to settle the agreement using prevailing market rates of interest.



|17. | Concentrations:
|--- | ---------------



Sales to the U.S. Department of Defense accounted for 62%, 16% and 29% of the all sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to Sprint / Nextel
accounted for 3%, 10% of all sales in 2007 and none for preceding year. Sales to Army National Guard accounted for 1%, 13% in 2007 and 2006, respectively and none for preceding year.



|18. | Export Sales:
|--- | -------------



A portion of our sales are made to customers outside of North America. Export sales are recorded and settled in U.S. dollars. Export sales by major
geographic areas (based on the destination for such deliveries), were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005:

|19. | Acquisition of 3eTI
|--- | -------------------



On July 10, 2006, we completed a merger resulting in our owning 100% of the equity of 3eTI, which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of EFJ. This
merger allows us to increase our product portfolio by adding wireless data and wireless data security products and solutions that expand the addressable market for our company. 3eTI is a provider of customized wireless network centric products and
systems to the federal government primarily under government funded SBIR programs; and a provider of wireless data hardware for WiFi and mesh networking and secure software technologies that meet federal standards for securing wireless data networks
primarily in the government sectors.

The total consideration paid by EFJ in the merger consisted of $36.0 million in cash, which includes
$3.6 million to be held in escrow to indemnify us for any claims under the merger agreement and certain purchase price adjustments. The remaining amount in the escrow account after satisfying indemnification claims and purchase price adjustments, if
any, will be distributed to 3eTIs selling shareholders.



3eTI is included in our secured communications segment. The results of 3eTIs operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements for the third and fourth quarters of 2006.



The table below summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired
and the liabilities assumed at the date of the merger.

Intangible assets were
purchased as part of the acquisition of 3eTI as further discussed in Note 5. Intangible assets consisting of existing technology, customer relationships, license and covenants not-to-compete are amortized over their useful lives on a straight-line
basis. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $1.6 million and $0.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 respectively. Intangible assets consisting of trademark and trade name and certifications are not subject
to amortization, but will be reviewed for impairment at least annually. The goodwill arising from the 3eTI acquisition is not deductible for income tax purposes.



The $1.6 million allocated to in-process R&D in the preliminary purchase price allocation above was written-off in a one
time charge to expense following the acquisition and is reflected as a line item on the consolidated statement of operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 because at the date of acquisition, the technology feasibility of the
acquired technology had not yet been established.



We paid a
premium (i.e., goodwill) over the fair value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets acquired for a number of reasons, including the following:



| |  |  | 3eTIs products are the first, to our knowledge; Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validated wireless access points, a requirement for
wireless networking products sold to the U.S. government due to Federal Initiatives and DOD Mandate for Secure 802.11i Wireless Data Communication Systems.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | This validation process ensures compliance with both U.S. and Canadian government security standards established by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST).
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 3eTI has 12 products covered by 4 FIPS 140-2 certificates and 4 FIPS 197 certificates for AES-based cryptography.

each of the respective periods. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of our actual results of operations had the 3eTI results been included in our consolidated financial statements for the periods indicated. In addition,
the unaudited pro forma financial results do not attempt to project the future results of operations of the combined company.



The unaudited pro forma adjustments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 consist of adding 3eTIs estimated results of operations for
the period. The pro forma financial information for both periods presented reflects the following:



| |  |  | Additional amortization expense of approximately $0.4 million per quarter related to the estimated fair value of the identifiable intangible assets from the
preliminary purchase price allocation.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional interest expense of $0.3 million per quarter related to the incremental new bank borrowings to fund part of the 3eTI purchase price
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Additional retention expense of $0.3 million per quarter related to contractual requirements under the merger agreement.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The write-off of the in-process R&D of $1.6 million is excluded from this analysis as this was a one time, non-recurring charge to earnings.

|20. | Related Party Transaction:
|--- | --------------------------



During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, DRS Technologies, Inc. (DRS) and its related subsidiaries acquired approximately
$0.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively, of products from EFJohnson. Included in our account receivable balances as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 were amounts due from DRS for $0.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. Since August
1995, Mark Newman has been the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of DRS. Mr. Newman was appointed a director of EFJI in 2005. It is anticipated that the Company may engage in similar business with DRS in the future.



|21. | Sale/Leaseback Transaction
|--- | --------------------------



On March 31, 2006, EFJohnson exercised an option under an existing lease agreement to purchase the facility at 1440 Corporate Drive in Irving, Texas
for $3.6 million. Simultaneously, EFJohnson sold the facility to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Continued)

(in thousands, except per share and per share date)



an unrelated party for $4.6 million and EFJ, Inc. executed a 10-year lease for the facility. The aggregate effect of the purchase and sale transactions was a
gain of $1.0 million, which was deferred at March 31, 2006, and is recorded in accrued liabilities in the accompanying financial statements and is being amortized over the term of the lease as a reduction of rent expense in general and
administrative expenses.



|22. | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
|--- | -------------------------------------------------



On November 15, 2007, the Company committed to an organizational plan (the Plan) to shift from three divisions to one integrated
corporate structure focused on secure wireless communications for government and industrial customers. The Plan is designed to achieve profitability and to support a new technology roadmap driving towards a streamlined and more effective structure.
Implementation of the Plan includes senior and middle management changes as well as staff reductions designed to eliminate redundant positions and reflect the Companys decision to consolidate operations and move production from three locations
into a centralized operations and outsourcing program in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.



In connection with the Plan, the Company anticipates incurring approximately $1.1 million in total costs. The Company recorded a liability of $0.6 million as of December 31, 2007 with the remainder expected to be
incurred in the first six months of 2008. These costs consist primarily of severance, relocation, and other employee-related costs.



Costs that are directly associated with the Plan are being recorded as restructuring costs and are included in General and Administrative
expenses. Other costs that do not qualify as restructuring costs are being classified as other operating expenses or costs of goods sold in the Companys consolidated statements of operations.



The timing of the recognition of costs associated with this move were
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, and other relevant guidance, that provides that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity shall be recognized at its fair value in the period in which the liability is incurred. In particular, employee-related termination costs associated with the relocation are generally recognized ratably over the period that the employees are
required to provide services in order to earn the respective termination benefit.



The following table summarizes the estimates and actual exit costs incurred as of December 31, 2007:

The following table sets forth unaudited condensed operating results for each of the eight quarters in the two-year period ended December 31, 2007.
This information has been prepared on the same basis as the financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. Our operating results for any one quarter are not indicative of results for any future period. Earnings per share for each quarter
are computed independently of earnings per
