PART I

 

Item 1. BUSINESS

Overview

Key Tronic Corporation (dba: KeyTronicEMS Co.), was organized in 1969 as a Washington corporation that locally manufactured computer keyboards. Our goal was to become the world’s largest manufacturer of input devices for terminals, word processors and personal computers. The ability to design, build and deliver a quality product led to a reputation in the industry, allowing us to be a leading independent manufacturer of keyboards for computers in the United States. Our fully integrated design, tooling, and automated manufacturing capabilities enabled us to rapidly respond to customers’ needs for keyboards in production quantities worldwide. We supported our sales growth through the development and purchase of international manufacturing facilities. As the computer keyboard market matured with increasing competition from other international providers, we determined that our business could no longer solely rely on keyboard sales.

After assessing market conditions and our strengths and capabilities in 1999, we shifted focus from keyboard manufacturing to contract manufacturing for a wide range of products. Our new strategy was based on our original core strengths of innovative design and engineering expertise in electronics, mechanical engineering, and precision plastics combined with high-quality, low cost production, and assembly on a global basis. These strengths have made our company a strong competitor in the electronic manufacturing services (EMS) market. As we fully transitioned into an EMS provider, our new customer base became comprised of world-class customers from a wide range of industries.

The EMS industry experienced growth over the past several years as more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) chose to outsource manufacturing. This expansion of the EMS industry allowed us to continue to expand our customer base and the industries that we serve. However, the challenging global economic environment has had a negative impact on our results of operations as the demand from our customers has declined. We successfully confronted the challenging global economic environment in fiscal year 2009 by reducing our costs while ramping up new customer programs, which allowed us to maintain profitability and strengthen our balance sheet. The ramp up for our new programs was slowed by the recession, but these new programs continue to represent a growing portion of our revenue and a promising foundation for our future. In keeping with our long-term strategic objectives, we have been successfully building a more diversified customer portfolio and a less concentrated revenue base, spanning a wider range of industries. We currently offer our customers the following services: integrated electronic and mechanical engineering, precision plastic molding, assembly, component selection, sourcing and procurement, worldwide logistics, and new product testing and production all at competitive pricing due to our global footprint.

We believe that we are well positioned in the EMS industry to continue the expansion of our customer base and achieve long term growth. Our core strengths continue to support our growth and our customers’ needs. We continue to focus on controlling operating expenses and leveraging the synergistic capabilities of our world-class facilities in the United States, Mexico, and China. This global production capability provides our customers with the benefits of improved supply-chain management, reduced inventory, lower labor costs, lower transportation costs, and reduced product fulfillment time. Given our competitive advantages and the growing need for some potential customers to move forward with their outsourcing strategies, we are strongly positioned to win new business in coming periods and grow our revenue and profits as the global economic environment improves.

Table of Contents

The EMS industry is intensely competitive. We have less than 1% of the potential global market and our revenue can fluctuate significantly due to reliance on a concentrated base of customers. We are planning for new customer growth in the coming quarters by securing new programs, increasing our worldwide manufacturing capacity, and continuing to improve our manufacturing processes. Ongoing challenges that we face include the following: continuing to win programs from new and existing customers, balancing production capacity and key personnel in each of our manufacturing locations, improving operating efficiencies, controlling costs while developing competitive pricing strategies, and successfully transitioning new program wins to full production.

Our principal executive offices are located at N. 4424 Sullivan Road, Spokane Valley, Washington 99216, and our telephone number is (509) 928-8000. Our website is located at http://www.keytronicems.com where filings of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or current reports on Form 8-K are available after they have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The information presented on our website currently and in the future is not considered to be part of this document or any document incorporated by reference in this document.

Marketing

We provide a mix of manufacturing services for outsourced OEM products. We provide the following EMS services: product design, surface mount technologies (SMT) for printed circuit board assembly, tool making, precision plastic molding, liquid injection molding, automated tape winding, prototype design and full product builds.

Sales of the majority of our products have historically not been seasonal in nature, but may be seasonal in the future if there are changes in the types of products manufactured. Sales can, however, fluctuate significantly between quarters from changes in customer demand due to our revenue concentration in a few specific customers.

For the fiscal years ended June 27, 2009, June 28, 2008, and June 30, 2007, the five largest customers in each year accounted for 52%, 68%, and 73% of total sales, respectively. The following customers represented 10 percent or more of total net sales over the last three fiscal years: Lexmark International, Inc. (14%, 15%, 18%), International Game Technology, Inc. (13%, 18%, 17%), Zebra Technologies Corporation (less than 10%, 18%, 22%), and Imation Corporation (10%, less than 10%, less than 10%). It is anticipated that our new customer program wins will dilute our concentration of revenue in our current top five customers in the future.

Although keyboard manufacturing is still included in our product offerings, we expect annual keyboard sales to decline over time. We realized revenues of approximately $4.2 million, $5.8 million, and $5.6 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, from the sale of keyboards. In order to accommodate the demand for standard keyboard layouts, we maintain a purchase-from-stock program. The more popular standard layouts are built and stocked for immediate availability.

We market our products and services primarily through our direct sales department aided by strategically located field sales people and distributors. Although we maintain relationships with several independent sales organizations to assist in marketing our EMS product lines, commissions earned and paid are not material to the consolidated financial statements.

Manufacturing

Since inception, we have made substantial investments in developing and expanding a capital equipment base to achieve vertical integration and efficiencies in our manufacturing processes. We have invested significant capital into SMT for volume manufacturing of complex printed circuit board assemblies. We also design and develop tooling for injection molding and manufacture the majority of plastic parts used in the products we manufacture. Additionally, we have equipment to maintain a controlled clean environment for manufacturing processes that require a high level of precise control.

We use a variety of manual and highly automated assembly processes in our facilities, depending upon product complexity and degree of customization. Some examples of automated processes include component insertion, SMT, flexible robotic assembly, automated storage tape winding, computerized vision system quality inspection, automated switch and key top installation, and automated functional testing.

Our engineering expertise and automated manufacturing processes enable us to work closely with our customers during the design and prototype stages of production and to jointly increase productivity and reduce response time to the marketplace. We use computer-aided design techniques and software to assist in preparation of the tool design layout and component placement, to reduce tooling and production costs, improve component and product quality, and enhance turnaround time during product development.

We purchase materials and components for our products from many different suppliers, including both domestic and international sources. We develop close working relationships with our suppliers, many of whom have been supplying products to us for several years.

Research, Development, and Engineering

Research, development, and engineering (RD&E) expenses consist principally of employee related costs, third party development costs, program materials costs, depreciation, and allocated information technology and facilities costs. Our RD&E expenses were $2.3 million, $2.7 million, and $3.2 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 respectively. In each of these years, we focused most of our RD&E efforts on current customer EMS programs. The decrease in RD&E in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 is the result of cost reduction efforts and lower incentive and bonus expenses. The decrease in RD&E in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 is related to transferring engineers and support personnel from RD&E to manufacturing costs of sales as their job roles changed to support the new SMT line in Spokane Valley, Washington.

Competition

The market for the products and services we provide is highly competitive. There are numerous competitors in the EMS industry, many of which have substantially more resources and are more geographically diverse than we are. Some of our competitors have similar international production capabilities, large financial resources and some have substantially greater manufacturing, research and development, and marketing resources. There is also competition from the manufacturing operations of our current and potential customers, who are continually evaluating the merits of manufacturing their products internally versus the advantages of outsourcing. We believe that we can currently compete favorably to these factors primarily on the basis of our global footprint, responsiveness, creativity, vertical production capability, quality, and cost.

Trademarks and Patents

Our name and logo are federally registered trademarks, and we believe they are valuable assets of our business. During 2001, we began operating under the trade name “KeyTronicEMS Co.” to better identify our primary business concentration. We also own several keyboard patents; however, since our focus is EMS, management believes that these patents will not have a significant impact on future revenues.

Employees

We consider our employees to be our primary strength and we make considerable efforts to maintain a well-qualified workforce. Our employee benefits include bonus programs involving periodic payments to all employees based on meeting quarterly or fiscal year performance targets. We regularly provide transportation, medical services, and meals to all of our employees in foreign locations. We maintain a 401(k) plan for U.S. employees, which provides a discretionary matching company contribution of up to 4% of an employee’s salary. We provide group health, life, and disability insurance plans. We also maintain stock option plans and other long term incentive plans for certain employees and outside directors.

As of June 27, 2009, we had 1,963 employees compared to 2,502 on June 28, 2008, and 2,227 on June 30, 2007. Since we can have significant fluctuations in product demand, we seek to maintain flexibility in our workforce by utilizing skilled temporary and short-term contract labor in our manufacturing facilities in addition to full-time employees. The change in the number of employees was a result of a change in product mix. Certain products require more hand assembly than others. Our employees in Reynosa, Mexico, which represent approximately 13% of the Company’s employees, are represented by a local union. We have no history of any material interruption of production due to labor disputes.

Backlog

On July 25, 2009, our order backlog was valued at approximately $29.9 million, compared to approximately $42.2 million on July 27, 2008. Even though our order backlog is comprised of firm purchase orders, the amount of backlog is not necessarily indicative of future sales but can be indicative of trends in expected future sales revenue. Due to the relationships with our customers, we will occasionally allow orders to be canceled or rescheduled and as a result is not a meaningful indicator of future financial results. If there are canceled or rescheduled orders, we will attempt to negotiate fees to cover the costs we have incurred. The change in backlog at July 25, 2009, when compared to July 27, 2008, is due to a decrease in demand from our customers as the result of the unfavorable global economic environment. Order backlog consists of purchase orders received for products expected to be shipped approximately within the next twelve months, although shipment dates are subject to change due to design modifications, customer forecast changes, or other customer requirements.

Foreign Markets

Information concerning net sales and long-lived assets (property, plant, and equipment) by geographic areas is set forth in footnote 12 of the consolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, under the caption “Enterprise-Wide Disclosures”, and that information is incorporated herein.

 

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

There are risks and uncertainties that could affect our business. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to, the risk factors described below, in Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

The following risks and uncertainties could affect our actual results and could cause results to differ materially from past results or those contemplated by our forward-looking statements. When used herein, the words “expects”, “believes”, “anticipates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Potential Fluctuations in Quarterly Results

Our quarterly operating results have varied in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, including adverse changes in the U.S. and global economic environment, volatility in overall demand for our customers’ products, success of customers’ programs, timing of new programs, new product introductions or technological advances by us, our customers and our competitors, and changes in pricing policies by us, our customers, our suppliers, and our competitors. Our customer base is diverse in the markets they serve, however, decreases in demand, particularly from customers that supply the banking and gambling industries, could affect future quarterly results. Additionally, our customers could be impacted by the illiquidity of the credit markets which could directly impact our operating results.

Component procurement, production schedules, personnel and other resource requirements are based on estimates of customer requirements. Occasionally, our customers may request accelerated production that can stress resources and reduce operating margins. In addition, because many of our operating expenses are relatively fixed, a reduction in customer demand can harm our gross profit and operating results. The products which we manufacture for our customers have relatively short product lifecycles. Therefore, our business, operating results and financial condition are dependent in significant way on our ability to obtain orders from new customers and new product programs from existing customers.

Operating results can also fluctuate if changes are made to significant estimates and assumptions. Significant estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful receivables, provision for obsolete and non-saleable inventory, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term incentive compensation accrual, and the provision for warranty costs.

Economic Conditions

Recently there have been adverse conditions and uncertainty in the global economy as the result of unstable global financial and credit markets, inflation, and recession. These unfavorable economic conditions and the weakness of the credit market could affect the demand for our customers’ products. If the current global economic environment continues some of our customers could continue to reduce orders and change forecasts which could adversely affect our sales in future periods. Additionally, the financial strength of our customers and suppliers and their ability to obtain and rely on credit financing may affect their ability to fulfill their obligations to us and have an adverse affect on our financial results.

Credit Markets

The current illiquidity and financial instability in the credit markets could adversely impact lenders and potentially limit the ability of our suppliers and customers to borrow. This may affect their ability to fulfill their obligations to us and have an adverse affect on our financial results.

Competition

The EMS industry is intensely competitive. Competitors may offer customers lower prices on certain high volume programs. This could result in price reductions, reduced margins and loss of market share, all of which would materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition. If we were unable to provide comparable or better manufacturing services at a

Table of Contents

lower cost than our competitors, it could cause sales to decline. In addition, competitors can copy our non-proprietary designs after we have invested in development of products for customers, thereby enabling such competitors to offer lower prices on such products due to savings in development costs.

Concentration of Major Customers

At present, our customer base is highly concentrated and could become more or less concentrated. Our largest EMS customer accounted for 14% of net sales in fiscal year 2009. This same customer accounted for 15% of sales in 2008, and 18% in 2007. For the fiscal years ended 2009, 2008, and 2007, the five largest customers accounted for 52%, 68%, and 73% of total sales, respectively. There can be no assurance that our principal customers will continue to purchase products from us at current levels. Moreover, we typically do not enter into long-term volume purchase contracts with our customers, and our customers have certain rights to extend or delay the shipment of their orders. We, however, require that our customers contractually agree to buy back inventory purchased within specified lead times to build their products if not used.

The loss of one or more of our major customers, or the reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from such customers, due to economic conditions or other forces, could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. Specifically, some of our major customers provide products to the banking and gambling industries which have been adversely affected by the unfavorable economic environment. The contraction in demand from our customers in these industries could continue to impact our customer orders and continue to have a negative impact on our operations over the next several fiscal quarters.

Dependence on Suppliers

We are dependent on many suppliers, including sole source suppliers, to provide key components and raw materials used in manufacturing customers’ products. Delays in deliveries from suppliers or the inability to obtain sufficient quantities of components and raw materials could cause delays or reductions in shipment of products to our customers which could adversely affect our operating results and damage customer relationships.

Foreign Manufacturing Operations

Most of the products manufactured by us are produced at our facilities located in Mexico and China. Accordingly, our operations are subject to a variety of risks and factors unique to international operations including foreign economic and political risk; civil unrest; import and export duties; currency fluctuations; value added taxes; import and export regulation changes; and the burden; and cost of compliance with foreign laws.

Dependence on Key Personnel

Our future success depends in large part on the continued service of our key technical, marketing and management personnel and on our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel. The loss of key employees could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Technological Change and New Product Risk

The markets for our customers’ products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and relatively short product life cycles. The introduction of products embodying new technologies or the emergence of new industry standards can render existing products obsolete or unmarketable. Our success will depend upon our customers’ ability to enhance existing products and to develop and introduce, on a timely and cost-effective basis, new products that keep pace with technological developments and emerging industry standards and address evolving and increasingly sophisticated customer requirements. Failure of our customers to do so could substantially harm our customers’ competitive positions. There can be no assurance that our customers will be successful in identifying, developing and marketing products that respond to technological change, emerging industry standards or evolving customer requirements.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk under our revolving credit facility with interest rates based on various levels of margin added to published prime rate and LIBOR rates depending on the calculation of a certain financial covenant.

Table of Contents

Compliance with Current and Future Environmental Regulation

We are subject to a variety of domestic and foreign environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, and disposal of materials used in our manufacturing processes. If we fail to comply with any present or future regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities or the suspension of current manufacturing operations. In addition, such regulations could restrict our ability to expand our operations or could require us to acquire costly equipment, substitute materials, or incur other significant expenses to comply with government regulations.

Foreign Currency Fluctuations

A significant portion of our operations are in foreign locations. As a result, transactions occur in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations among other currencies used by us could directly or indirectly affect our financial results. Future currency fluctuations are dependent upon a number of factors and cannot be easily predicted. We currently use Mexican peso forward contracts to hedge foreign currency fluctuations for a portion of our Mexican peso denominated expenses. However, unexpected expenses could occur from future fluctuations in exchange rates.

Dilution and Stock Price Volatility

As of June 27, 2009, there were outstanding options for the purchase of 784,827 shares of our common stock, all of which were vested and exercisable. Holders of the common stock will suffer immediate and substantial dilution to the extent outstanding options to purchase the common stock are exercised. Our stock price may be subject to wide fluctuations and possible rapid increases or declines over a short time period. These fluctuations may be due to factors specific to us such as variations in quarterly operating results or changes in earnings estimates, or to factors relating to the EMS industry or to the securities markets in general, which, in recent years, have experienced significant price fluctuations. These fluctuations often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the specific companies whose stocks are traded.

Disclosure and Internal Controls

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system is designed to give reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In addition, any control system reflects resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Inherent limitations of a control system may include: judgments in decision making may be faulty, breakdowns can occur simply because of error or mistake and controls can be circumvented by collusion or management override. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected.

On December 27, 2000, we sold two contiguous parcels of land and our corporate headquarters building in Spokane to Royal Hills Associates L.L.C. (RHA) for approximately $6 million in cash. In connection with the sale, we entered into a 10-year lease agreement with RHA for one floor of the two-story building, which we continue to occupy as our headquarters (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

(2)

During fiscal year 2006, we consolidated and moved some of our molding equipment in Spokane to our facility in Juarez, Mexico and reduced the building space leased in Spokane for manufacturing to 36,000 square feet.

(3)

In fiscal year 2005, we purchased a 60,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico to replace a previously leased facility and to accommodate the shift of the Las Cruces, New Mexico operations into Juarez.

(4)

In fiscal year 2007, we purchased a 66,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Juarez, Mexico to replace a previously leased facility.

(5)

In fiscal year 2009, we leased a new facility in Juarez, Mexico for more storage capacity and additional assembly space.

(6)

In fiscal year 2008, we leased a new facility in Reynosa, Mexico for storage capacity that replaced two other leased warehouses.

(7)

In fiscal year 2006, we increased our leased space in China to 72,000 sq. ft. to accommodate an additional SMT line and for additional assembly space.

The geographic diversity of these locations allows us to offer services near certain of our customers and major electronics markets with the additional benefit of reduced labor costs. We consider the productive capacity of our current facilities sufficient to carry on our current business. In addition, one of the facilities in Juarez, Mexico includes adjacent vacant land that could be developed into additional manufacturing and warehouse space. All of our facilities are ISO certified to ISO 9001:2008 standards and are certified or compliant with ISO-14001 environmental standards and ISO-13485:2003 medical devices standards.

Item 7: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

We are an independent provider of EMS for OEMs. Our core strengths include innovative design and engineering expertise in SMT, electronics, mechanical engineering, precision molding, design and build of molding tools, combined with high-quality, low-cost production, and assembly on a global basis. Our global production capability provides customers with benefits of improved supply-chain management, reduced inventories, lower transportation costs, and reduced product fulfillment time. We continue to make investments in our Mexico and China facilities to give us the production capacity and logistical advantages to continue to win new business. The following information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included herein and with Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Table of Contents

The EMS industry experienced growth over the past several years as more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) chose to outsource manufacturing. This expansion of the EMS industry allowed us to continue to expand our customer base and the industries that we serve. However, the challenging global economic environment has had a negative impact on our results of operations as the demand from our customers has declined. We successfully confronted the challenging global economic environment in fiscal year 2009 by reducing our costs while ramping up new customer programs, which allowed us to maintain profitability and strengthen our balance sheet. The ramp up for our new programs was slowed by the recession, but these new programs continue to represent a growing portion of our revenue and a promising foundation for our future. In keeping with our long-term strategic objectives, we have been successfully building a more diversified customer portfolio and a less concentrated revenue base, spanning a wider range of industries.

Our sales of $184.9 million in fiscal year 2009 decreased by 9.4% over sales of $204.1 million in fiscal year 2008. This decrease in sales reflects the lower demand from established customers due to the unfavorable global economic environment. The decline in demand from our established customers was partially offset by revenue from new customers. In fiscal year 2008 new customers contributed approximately 9% of revenue. These same customers plus new customers in 2009 contributed approximately 29% of revenue. Sales for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010 are expected to be within the range of $41 million to $44 million. Results will depend on actual levels of customers’ orders and the timing of the start up of production of new product programs. We believe that we are well positioned in the EMS industry to win new business in coming periods and profitably grow our revenue as the economy recovers.

The concentration of our largest customers decreased during fiscal year 2009 with the top five customers’ sales decreasing to 52% of total sales in 2009 from 68% in 2008, and 73% in 2007. Our current customer relationships involve a variety of products, including consumer electronics, electronic storage devices, plastics, household products, gaming devices, specialty printers, exercise equipment, telecommunications, industrial equipment, fuel cell technology and computer accessories. The total number of our customers continued to increase during fiscal year 2009. Some of these new customers have programs that represent small annual sales while others have multi-million-dollar potential.

Gross profit as a percent of sales was 7.1% in fiscal year 2009 compared to 8.2% for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales was the result of lower fixed cost absorption due to sales decreasing. Additionally we incurred charges of approximately $1.3 million for severance charges related to cost reduction efforts.

Net income for fiscal year 2009 was $1.1 million or $0.11 per diluted share, down from $5.6 million net income or $0.54 per diluted share for fiscal year 2008. The results of both years were affected by unusual events. In fiscal year 2009 we incurred charges of $765,000 for goodwill impairment, approximately $533,000 for the write-off of a foreign receivable and approximately $1.3 million for severance charges related to cost reduction efforts. In fiscal year 2008 we realized a gain on the sale of real estate of $951,000.

We maintain a strong balance sheet with a current ratio of 2.59 and a long-term debt to equity ratio of 0.05. Total cash provided by operations was $10.0 million during fiscal year 2009. We maintain sufficient liquidity for our expected future operations and had approximately $15.3 million available from our revolving line of credit based on eligible collateral at June 27, 2009. We believe that internally generated funds, our revolving line of credit, and leases on equipment should provide adequate capital for planned growth over the long term.

The revolving credit facility with CIT was set to mature on August 22, 2009. On August 19, 2009, we entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. providing for a revolving line of credit facility for up to $20 million and paid off the CIT revolving loan. The agreement specifies that we, and our subsidiaries, use the proceeds of the revolving line of credit primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. We may elect to borrow under this revolving line of credit at an interest rate of either a “Base Rate” or a “Fixed Rate”. The base rate is the higher of the prime rate, daily one month LIBOR plus 1.5%, or the Federal Funds rate plus 1.5% and the fixed rate is LIBOR plus 2.1% or LIBOR plus 2.5% depending on the level of trailing four quarters EBITDA. Based on the trailing four quarters EBITDA as of June 27, 2009, we could borrow up to $14.4 million under the new line of credit.

The EMS industry is intensely competitive. We estimate that we have less than 1% of the potential market. We believe that we can acquire new business in the future, particularly those programs that require flexibility in forecasting, innovative design and engineering, short lead times, or small initial volumes. Our competitiveness is enhanced by our capacity to provide SMT, plastic injection molding, and final assembly. We are planning for long term growth by utilizing current capacity, improving manufacturing processes, and investing in additional manufacturing equipment. Current challenges facing us include: continuing to win new programs, improving operating efficiencies, controlling costs, and developing new competitive price strategies.

Net Sales

Net sales were $184.9 million, $204.1 million, and $201.7 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

This decrease in net sales during fiscal year 2009 reflects the expected lower demand from established customers due to the unfavorable global economic environment. However, new customer programs from 2008 and 2009 partially offset this decline in demand, contributing approximately 29% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2009. We anticipate that several more new customer programs will enter production in fiscal year 2010 and begin contributing to revenue.

The increase in net sales during fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 resulted from an increase in sales revenue from new customer programs offset by a moderate decrease in the demand from some of our existing customers. New customer programs contributed approximately 9% of our total revenue in fiscal year 2008. Customer demand will fluctuate based on changes in the sell-through of customers’ products.

The table below shows the revenue by industry sectors as a percentage of revenue for the following fiscal years:

Table of Contents

Sales to foreign customers represented 11.3%, 5.6%, and 9.0% of our total net sales in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The increase in sales to foreign customers from fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 is the result of new customers in foreign locations. The decrease in sales to foreign customers from fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 was due to exiting production of a consumer product for a customer in Asia.

Cost of Sales

Total cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 92.9%, 91.8%, and 91.2% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Total cost of materials as a percentage of sales was approximately 61.0%, 61.2%, and 61.8% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The change from year-to-year is directly related to changes in product mix.

Production costs as a percentage of net sales were 31.9%, 30.6%, and 29.4% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The increase in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 is related to lower fixed cost abortion due to sales decreasing and $1.3 million for severance charges related to cost reduction efforts. The increase in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 is related to start-up cost we incurred throughout the year in association with new customer programs, inefficiencies of overtime and expedite costs associated with accelerated customer demand, and increased freight costs.

We provide for obsolete and non-saleable inventories based on specific identification of inventory against current demand and recent usage. The amounts charged to expense for these inventories were $303,000, $159,000, and $544,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Approximately $240,000 of the provision in fiscal year 2007 was related to a specific customer filing bankruptcy during the year. The majority of the remaining provision in each year related to stocked computer keyboards and other computer peripherals, and various inventory items that were deemed obsolete during the period.

We provide warranties on certain products we sell and estimate warranty costs based on historical experience and anticipated product returns. The amounts charged to expense are determined based on an estimate of warranty exposure. The net warranty expense (recovery) was approximately $(93,000), $196,000, and $31,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The recovery in fiscal year 2009 related to the release of a warranty claim for a specific product that was identified in fiscal year 2008. Warranty expense for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 is related to workmanship claims on keyboards and certain EMS products.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 7.1%, 8.2%, and 8.8% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

The decrease in gross profit from fiscal year 2008 to 2009 was the result of lower fixed cost absorption due to sales decreasing. Additionally we incurred charges of approximately $1.3 million for severance charges related to cost reduction efforts.

The decrease in gross profit from fiscal year 2007 to 2008 is related mainly to start-up costs we incurred throughout the year in association with new customer programs, inefficiencies of overtime and expedite costs associated with accelerated customer demand, increased freight costs, and increasing costs of raw materials. In fiscal year 2007 there were certain customer sales price decreases in the aggregate in excess of achieved cost savings, a write off of $240,000 in inventory and $164,000 tooling related to a customer that filed for bankruptcy, and the additional costs incurred with the installation and start up of a new SMT line in Spokane Valley. We took early pay discounts to suppliers that totaled $142,000, $51,000, and $211,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Early pay discounts will fluctuate based on our liquidity and changes in the discounts and terms offered by our suppliers.

Changes in gross profit margins reflect the impact of a number of factors that can vary from period to period, including product mix, start-up costs and efficiencies associated with new programs, product life cycles, sales volumes, capacity utilization of our resources, management of inventories, component pricing and shortages, end market demand for customers’ products, fluctuations in and timing of customer orders, and competition within the EMS industry. These and other factors can cause variations in operating results. There can be no assurance that gross margins will not decrease in future periods.

Research, Development and Engineering

Research, development and engineering expenses (RD&E) consists principally of employee related costs, third party development costs, program materials, depreciation and allocated information technology, and facilities costs. Total RD&E was $2.3 million, $2.7 million, and $3.2 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, RD&E was 1.2%, 1.3%, and 1.6% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

 

16


Table of Contents

The decrease in RD&E in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 is the result of cost reduction efforts and lower incentive and bonus expenses. The decrease in RD&E in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 is related to transferring engineers and support personnel from RD&E to manufacturing costs of sales as their job roles changed to support the new SMT line in Spokane Valley, Washington.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) consist principally of salaries and benefits, advertising and marketing programs, sales commissions, travel expenses, provision for doubtful accounts, facilities costs, and professional services. Total SG&A expenses were $8.4 million, $8.3 million, and $9.2 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of sales SG&A was 4.5%, 4.0%, and 4.5% in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Approximately half of our SG&A expenses relates to salary costs of our employees.

The increase in SG&A expenses in fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008 is mainly attributable to foreign exchange losses on Mexican peso denominated financial assets and the addition of a sales representative which were partially offset by cost reduction efforts. Additionally, in fiscal year 2009 there was a charge of $604,000 to provide for doubtful collection of receivables, of which $533,000 was related to the write off of a foreign receivable. The decrease in SG&A expenses in fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 was due to $122,000, and $550,000, respectively, in bad debt expense, of which $536,000 was related to a customer filing bankruptcy during fiscal year 2007. In addition $460,000 of due diligence expenses, attorneys’ fees, and bank fees were expensed in fiscal year 2007 as we decided not to proceed with a potential acquisition.

Goodwill Impairment

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $765,000, which related to the acquisition of Honeywell’s manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico in fiscal year 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but must be analyzed for impairment at least annually. Our goodwill impairment analysis was performed at the end of the second quarter each year using the two-step method.

As of December 27, 2008, we completed our annual impairment test. We performed the first step of our goodwill impairment test and determined that our book value exceeded our fair value based on the quoted market price of our stock as of December 26, 2008. The result of the first step indicated that goodwill was impaired and therefore, we performed the second step of the goodwill analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The second step analyzes any excess or implied fair value of goodwill upon allocating our fair value to all our assets and liabilities other than goodwill and then comparing the residual amount, if any, to the book value of the goodwill. There was no residual amount of goodwill to allocate upon completing this step. As the deteriorating global economy adversely affected our common stock price, we concluded that 100% of the goodwill was impaired due to the significant and sustained decline in our market capitalization to below the book value. We recorded an impairment charge of $765,000 for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. As of June 27, 2009 there was no goodwill recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Gain on Real Estate Held for Sale

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we sold our under-utilized Las Cruces, New Mexico facility. The total sales price for the facility and adjacent vacant land was $4.3 million. Sales proceeds were in the form of $2.8 million in cash and an additional $1.5 million note from the buyer. The cash received was for the purchase of the building and approximately 9 acres of land while the note was to pay for the adjacent 14 acres of additional land. The note was payable within 45 days of the flood plain designation being removed from the adjacent vacant land. Due to the contingent nature of the note, we recognized a $1.5 million gain on real estate held for the sale of the building and 9 acres of land in fiscal year 2007 and deferred the gain on sale of the adjacent land. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the flood plain designation was removed on the adjacent 14 acres of land resulting in a gain on sale of real estate of $951,000, with the cash proceeds being received in January 2008.

We had net interest expense of $590,000, $1.0 million, and $1.4 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Interest expense decreased in fiscal year 2009 when compared to fiscal years 2008 and 2007 as the average balance of the revolving line of credit was lower along with a decrease in variable interest rates. We do not currently use derivatives to hedge interest rate risk. We do utilize short-term fixed LIBOR rates on portions of our revolving line of credit for short-term interest savings in anticipation of rate increases. We successfully negotiated a variable rate decrease on interest charged by our lender on our revolving line of credit and term debt during fiscal year 2007.

Income Tax Provision

We had an income tax provision of $130,000, $261,000, and $206,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007. The tax provision in fiscal years 2009 and 2008 is primarily related to income taxes paid in China and Mexico. The income tax expense of fiscal year 2007 primarily related to income taxes in the United States, which was primarily caused by a one-time repatriation of earnings from our Mexico subsidiaries. We applied certain tax credits to offset tax liabilities of our Mexican subsidiaries during calendar year 2007. We expect to pay income taxes in calendar year 2009 due to recently enacted tax laws in Mexico. We recognized a United States income tax benefit in fiscal year 2009 of $104,000 related to reducing the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. We have domestic tax net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $33.2 million as of June 27, 2009. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, we assessed our recent operating levels and the sources of future taxable income to estimate a deferred tax asset. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required if it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have determined that the $8.3 million valuation allowance is appropriate at this time.

International Subsidiaries

We offer customers a complete global manufacturing solution. Our facilities provide our customers the opportunity to have their products manufactured in the facility that best serves specific cost, product manufacturing, and distribution needs. The locations of active foreign subsidiaries are as follows:

 

   

Key Tronic Juarez, SA de CV owns an SMT, assembly and molding facility, and two assembly and storage facilities in Juarez, Mexico. This subsidiary is primarily used to support our U.S. operations.

 

   

Key Tronic Reynosa, SA de CV leases manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Reynosa, Mexico. This subsidiary is used exclusively to manufacture products for one EMS customer.

 

   

Key Tronic Computer Peripherals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. leases a facility with SMT and assembly capabilities in Shanghai, China, which began operations in 1999. Its primary function is to provide EMS services for export; however, it is also currently manufacturing certain electronic keyboards.

Foreign sales (based on location of customer) from our worldwide operations, including domestic exports, were $20.9 million, $11.4 million, and $18.5 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The decrease in fiscal year 2009 foreign sales is mainly related to a specific foreign customer program. Products and manufacturing services provided by our subsidiary operations are sold to customers directly by the parent company. Key Tronic Computer Peripherals (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., our subsidiary in Shanghai, China, had only minimal sales to customers in China during the past three fiscal years.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $10.0 million in fiscal year 2009 compared to $(718,000) used in operating activities in fiscal year 2008 and $(1.9) million used in fiscal year 2007.

The increase in cash provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2009 from 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in trade receivables and inventory. Trade receivables and inventory decreased by $10.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively, during fiscal year 2009. These decreases were partially offset by a decrease of accounts payable of $10.8 million. These decreases are the result of lower sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009 as compared to 2008 and a concerted effort to reduce our inventory and align it with our current level of business.

The decrease in cash used in operating activities in fiscal year 2008 from 2007 was primarily due to an increase in cash provided by net income of $5.6 million and increases in accounts payable and accrued compensation and vacation totaling $6.1 million. These sources of cash were partially offset by $5.7 million increase in inventory and $5.8 million increase in accounts receivable. The increases in accounts payable and inventory at the end of fiscal year 2008 were related to our increasing inventory for new customers. In addition, trade receivables increased $5.6 million as the result of higher sales during our fourth quarter.

Cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures and proceeds from the sale of property and equipment. Capital expenditures were $1.9 million, $1.2 million, and $3.1 million in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Our capital expenditures are primarily for purchases of manufacturing assets to support our operations in Spokane Valley, Washington, Mexico and China. Capital expenditures increased for fiscal year 2009 as compared to 2008 as we invested in manufacturing equipment to support the requirements of new customers. Capital expenditures were higher in fiscal year 2007 as compared to fiscal year 2008 as the result of purchasing a facility in Juarez to replace a leased manufacturing location. We have also continued to use a variety of operating leases to fund the purchase of manufacturing equipment.

Our primary financing activity in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 was borrowing and repayment under our financing agreement with CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (CIT). Our financing agreement with CIT provided a revolving credit facility of up to $25 million. The revolving loan was secured by our assets. The interest rate provisions allow for a variable rate based on either the prime rate or LIBOR rate. The agreement specified four alternative levels of margin to be added to these base rates depending on compliance with certain financial covenants. The range of interest being paid to CIT on outstanding balances was 1.82%-3.25% as of June 27, 2009. The financing agreement contained financial covenants that relate to total equity, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and a minimum fixed charge ratio. All but one of the financial covenants, the fixed charge ratio, had been removed by subsequent amendments to the financing agreement. As of June 27, 2009, we were in compliance with our remaining loan covenant. At June 27, 2009, the outstanding revolving loan balance was $2.4 million compared to $12.3 million at fiscal year end June 28, 2008. The loan balance decreased as we generated positive cash flow from operations. Based on eligible collateral, approximately $15.3 million was available for drawdown from the revolving line of credit as of June 27, 2009.

The revolving credit facility with CIT was set to mature on August 22, 2009. On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. providing for a revolving line credit facility for up to $20 million and paid off the CIT revolving loan. The agreement specifies that the proceeds of the revolving line of credit be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Borrowings under this revolving line of credit bear interest at either a “Base Rate” or a “Fixed Rate”, as elected by the Company. The base rate is the higher of the prime rate, daily one month LIBOR plus 1.5%, or the Federal Funds rate plus 1.5% and the fixed rate is LIBOR plus 2.1% or LIBOR plus 2.5% depending on the level of trailing four quarters EBITDA.

The new line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The agreement is for a term of two years beginning on August 19, 2009 and ending on August 18, 2011. The Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including a cash flow leverage ratio and a trading ratio. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum profit threshold, limits the maximum lease expenditures and restricts the Company from declaring or paying dividends in cash or stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

In the normal course of business, we enter into contracts which obligate us to make payments in the future.

The table below sets forth our significant future obligations by fiscal year:

Payments Due by Fiscal Year (in thousands)

 

     Total    2010    2011    2012    2013    2014

(1)

The terms of the CIT revolving loan are discussed in the consolidated financial statements at Note 4, “Long-Term Debt”. Our current financing agreement with CIT was set to mature on August 22, 2009. On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. for up to $20 million and paid off the CIT revolving loan. The amount payable on our revolving loan changes daily depending upon the amount of cash borrowed to support our operations and the amount of customer payments received. The amount presented does not include any interest payable. Under the terms of our agreement with CIT, customers’ payments are applied against the outstanding revolving loan balance as soon as the amounts clear through the banking system.

Under the terms of the CIT revolving credit agreement, we were required to meet a fixed coverage ratio financial covenant. As of June 27, 2009 we were in compliance with our loan covenant. Breaching this covenant could have resulted in a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

(2)

We maintain vertically integrated manufacturing operations in Mexico and Shanghai, China. Such operations are heavily dependent upon technically superior manufacturing equipment including molding machines in various tonnages, SMT lines, clean rooms, and automated insertion, and test equipment for the various products we are capable of producing.

In addition, we lease some of our administrative and manufacturing facilities. A complete discussion of properties can be found in Part 1, Item 2 at “Properties”. Leases have proven to be an acceptable method for us to acquire new or replacement equipment and to maintain facilities with a minimum impact on our short term cash flows for operations. Amounts presented above include interest and principal, if applicable.

(3)

As of June 27, 2009, we had open purchase order commitments for materials and other supplies of approximately $52.2 million. Included in the open purchase orders are various blanket orders for annual requirements. Actual needs under these blanket purchase orders fluctuate with our manufacturing levels. In addition, we have contracts with our customers that minimize our exposure to losses for material purchased within lead-times necessary to meet customer forecasts. Purchase orders generally can be cancelled without penalty within specified ranges that are determined in negotiations with our suppliers. These agreements depend in part on the type of materials purchased as well as the circumstances surrounding any requested cancellations.

Table of Contents

In addition to the cash requirements presented above, we have various other accruals which are not included in the table above. We owe our suppliers approximately $18.7 million for accounts payable and shipments in transit at the end of the fiscal year. We generally pay our suppliers in a range from 30 to 120 days depending on terms offered. Quarterly payments to suppliers normally average between $25 and $35 million. These payments are financed by operating cash flows and our revolving line of credit.

We believe that internally generated cash flows, leasing facilities, and funds available under the revolving credit facility will satisfy cash requirements for a period in excess of 12 months and into the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Revenue Recognition

We recognize revenue when products are shipped and the sales revenue becomes realizable. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104, Revenue Recognition states that revenue generally is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

 

 

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists.

 

 

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered.

 

 

The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable.

 

 

Collectibility is reasonably assured.

We believe that we meet the above criteria for the following reasons:

 

 

Customer purchase orders confirming the price, shipping terms, and payment terms are required prior to shipment.

 

 

The terms of our sales are generally FOB shipping point, meaning that the customer takes ownership of the goods and assumes the risk of loss when the goods leave our premises.

 

 

The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable – as noted, we require a customer purchase order, which confirms the price, shipping, and payment terms.

 

 

Collectibility is reasonably assured – the credit terms for customers are pre-established based on a review of the customers perceived ability to pay so that collection of the account can be reasonably assured.

Inactive, Obsolete, and Surplus Inventory Reserve

We reserve for inventories that we deem inactive, obsolete or surplus. This reserve is calculated based upon the demand for the products that we produce. Demand is determined by expected sales or customer forecasts. If expected sales do not materialize, then we would have inventory in excess of our reserves and would have to charge the excess against future earnings. In the case where we have purchased material based upon a customer’s forecast, we are usually covered by lead-time assurance agreements with each customer. These contracts state that the financial liability for material purchased within agreed upon lead-time and based upon the customer’s forecasts, lies with the customer. If we purchase material outside the lead-time assurance agreement and the customer’s forecasts do not materialize or if we have no lead-time assurance agreement for a specific program, we would have the financial liability and may have to charge inactive, obsolete or surplus inventory against earnings.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We value our accounts receivable net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $111,000 and $110,000 at June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, respectively. This allowance is based on estimates of the portion of accounts receivable that may not be collected in the future. The estimates used are based primarily on specific identification of potentially uncollectible accounts. Such accounts are identified using publicly available information in conjunction with evaluations of current payment activity. However, if any of our customers were to develop unexpected and immediate financial problems that would prevent payment of open invoices, we could incur additional and possibly material expenses that would negatively impact earnings.

Accrued Warranty

An accrual is made for expected warranty costs, with the related expense recognized in cost of goods sold. We review the adequacy of this accrual quarterly based on historical analysis and anticipated product returns and rework costs. As we have made the transition from manufacturing primarily keyboards to primarily EMS products, our exposure to warranty claims has declined significantly. Our warranty period for keyboards is generally longer than that for EMS products. We only warrant materials and workmanship on EMS products, and we do not warrant design defects for EMS customers.

Income Taxes

We had domestic tax loss carryforwards of approximately $33.2 million and other future deductible temporary differences and tax credit carryforwards at June 27, 2009. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, we assess the sources of future taxable income, based on management’s estimates, which may be available to recognize the deductible differences that comprise deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have determined that a valuation allowance of $8.3 million on the total deferred tax asset is appropriate as of June 27, 2009. Our judgments regarding future use of deferred tax assets may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws or other factors. If our assumptions and estimates change in the future, the valuation allowance will be adjusted accordingly and any increase or decrease will result in an additional income tax expense or benefit.

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, we recorded goodwill in the amount of $765,000, which related to the acquisition of Honeywell’s manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico in fiscal year 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but must be analyzed for impairment at least annually. Our goodwill impairment analysis was performed at the end of the second quarter each year using the two-step method.

As of December 27, 2008, we completed our annual impairment test. We performed the first step of our goodwill impairment test and determined that our book value exceeded our fair value based on the quoted market price of our stock as of December 26, 2008. The result of the first step indicated that goodwill was impaired and therefore, we performed the second step of the goodwill analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The second step analyzes any excess or implied fair value of goodwill upon allocating our fair value to all our assets and liabilities other than goodwill and then comparing the residual amount, if any, to the book value of the goodwill. There was no residual amount of goodwill to allocate upon completing this step. As the deteriorating global economy adversely affected our common stock price, we concluded that 100% of the goodwill was impaired due to the significant and sustained decline in our market capitalization to below the book value. We recorded an impairment charge of approximately $765,000 for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. As of June 27, 2009 there was no goodwill recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Derivatives

We adopted SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to SFAS No. 133 as of March 28, 2009. All material derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. Generally, if a derivative instrument is specifically designated as a cash flow hedge, the change in the fair value of the derivative is recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent the derivative is effective, and recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. As of June 27, 2009, we had forward contracts to lock in known future cash outflows for payroll, utility, tax, and accounts payable expenses denominated in the Mexican peso. As of June 27, 2009, the fair value of these contracts was an asset of approximately $912,000 which was included in other current assets and recorded as unrealized income in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 updates previous guidance under GAAP by replacing “type 1” and “type 2” with “recognized” and “unrecognized.” Additionally, it requires disclosure in financial statements of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in June 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Table of Contents

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP No. 107-1, 28-1 requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. The adoption of this disclosure only guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will be effective beginning the Company’s first interim period of fiscal 2010.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP No. 141(R)-1 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If the fair value of such assets or liabilities cannot be reasonably determined, then they would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5. This FSP also amends the subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and certain other disclosure requirements. FSP No. 141(R)-1 is effective for the Company as of June 28, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why derivative instruments are used, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 as of March 28, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument with certain exceptions and is applied generally on an irrevocable basis to the entire instrument. SFAS No. 159 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company as of June 29, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for our financial instruments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands the requisite disclosure for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of September 27, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 7A: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are subject to the risk of fluctuating interest rates in the normal course of business. Our major market risk relates to our secured debt. Our revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets. The interest rates applicable to our revolving credit facility fluctuate with the JP Morgan Chase Bank prime rate and LIBOR rates. There was outstanding $2.4 million in borrowings under our revolving credit facility as of June 27, 2009, with an average interest rate of 2.36%. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Capital Resources and Liquidity” and Note 4 – “Long-Term Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our revolving credit facility.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

A significant portion of our operations are in foreign locations. As a result, transactions occur in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Exchange rate fluctuations among other currencies used by us would directly or indirectly affect our financial results. We currently use Mexican peso forward contracts to hedge foreign currency fluctuations for a portion of our Mexican peso denominated expenses. There was outstanding $17.8 million of foreign currency forward contracts as of June 27, 2009. The fair value of these contracts was $912,000 and was recorded in other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 27, 2009. See Note 11 – “Derivative Financial Instruments” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our derivative instruments.

Item 8: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Key Tronic Corporation

Spokane Valley, Washington

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Key Tronic Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) as of June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 27, 2009. In connection with our audits of the financial statements, we have also audited the financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. 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 financial position of Key Tronic Corporation and subsidiaries at June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 27, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

Key Tronic Corporation and subsidiaries (the Company) is engaged in electronic manufacturing services (EMS) for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and also manufactures keyboards and other input devices. The Company is headquarterd in Spokane Valley, Washington and has manufacturing operations in Spokane Valley; Juarez and Reynosa, Mexico; and Shanghai, China.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in Mexico, China and the former operating subsidiary in Ireland. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include the allowance for doubtful receivables, the provision for obsolete and non-saleable inventories, the valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, impairment of long-lived assets, medical self insurance liability, long-term incentive compensation accrual, and the provision for warranty costs. Due to uncertainties with respect to the assumptions and estimates actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The Company has restricted cash amounts in the Company’s bank account that cannot be used for any other purpose than to pay down the Company’s long term revolving line of credit.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company evaluates the collectibility of accounts receivable and records an allowance for doubtful accounts, which reduces the receivables to an amount that management reasonably estimates will be collected. A specific allowance is recorded against receivables considered to be impaired based on the Company’s knowledge of the financial condition of the customer. In determining the amount of the allowance, the Company considers several factors including the aging of the receivables, the current business environment, and historical experience. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company provides for obsolete and non-saleable inventories based on specific identification of inventory against current demand forecasts and recent usage.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost and depreciated using straight-line methods over the expected useful lives of the assets. Internally constructed molds and dies are depreciated over the expected useful lives of one to two years. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

The Company, using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, reviews assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of its assets might not be recoverable. Impaired assets are reported at the lower of cost or fair value.

Deferred Loan Fees

Deferred loan fees included in other assets are amortized over the term of the related loan agreement.

Accrued Warranty

An accrual is made for expected warranty costs, with the related expense recognized in cost of goods sold. Management reviews the adequacy of this accrual quarterly based on historical analyses and anticipated product returns.

Self-funded Insurance

The Company self-funds its domestic employee health plan. The Company contracted with a separate administrative service company to supervise and administer the program and act as its representative. The Company reduces its risk under this self-funded platform by purchasing insurance coverage for claims exceeding $60,000. Under this contract, the Company will also pay the first $25,000 (in addition to the $60,000) for the first individual claim of the year. Thereafter, each subsequent claim begins at $60,000. If the aggregate annual claims amount to more than 125% of expected claims for the plan year, this insurance will also pay those claims amounts, exceeding that level, on behalf of the Company.

The Company estimates its exposure for claims incurred but not paid at the end of each reporting period and uses historical data supplied by the Company’s broker to estimate its liability for these claims. This liability is subject to a total limitation that varies based on employee enrollment and factors that are established at each annual contract renewal. Actual claims experience may differ from the Company’s estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue from manufacturing is recognized upon shipment of the manufactured product per contractual terms. Upon shipment, title transfers and the customer assumes risks and rewards of ownership of the product. Unless specifically stated in contractual terms, there are no formal customer acceptance requirements or further obligations related to the manufacturing services; if any such requirements exist, then sales revenue is recognized at the time when such requirements are completed and such obligations are fulfilled. Revenue is recorded net of estimated returns of manufactured product based on management’s analysis of historical returns.

Revenues and associated costs from engineering design and development services, which are performed under contract of short term durations, are recognized only after the completed performance of the service. Revenue from engineering design and development services represented approximately 3%, 3%, and 2% of total revenue in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Fees

The Company classifies costs associated with shipping and handling fees as a component of cost of goods sold. Customer billings related to shipping and handling fees are reported as revenue.

Research, Development and Engineering

Research, development and engineering expenses include unreimbursed EMS costs as well as design and engineering costs associated with the production of EMS programs. Such costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method prescribed by SFAS No. 109, deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are measured using provisions of currently enacted tax laws. Tax credits are accounted for as a reduction of income taxes in the year the credit is utilized. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. The effect of changes in tax rates is recognized in the period in which the rate change occurs.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The computation assumes the proceeds from the exercise of stock options were used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise, or contingent issuance of common stock equivalent shares that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The functional currency of the Company’s subsidiaries in Mexico, China and its former operating subsidiary in Ireland is the U.S. dollar. Realized foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in general and administrative expenses.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of financial instruments reflected on the balance sheets at June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, reasonably approximate their fair value. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities, the fair value of long-term debt is estimated to be $2.6 million and $12.8 million, respectively, as of June 27, 2009 and June 28, 2008, which approximates the carrying values.

Stock-based Compensation

Effective July 3, 2005, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, for its share-based compensation plans. The Company previously accounted for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under APB 25, prior to 2005 no compensation expense was recorded in earnings for the Company’s stock options. The pro forma effects on net income and earnings per share for stock options were instead disclosed in a footnote to the financial statements. The Company has not granted any stock options since fiscal year 2005. As of June 27, 2009, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to remaining unvested stock options.

Goodwill

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $765,000, which related to the acquisition of Honeywell’s manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico in fiscal year 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but must be analyzed for impairment at least annually. The Company’s goodwill impairment analysis was performed at the end of the second quarter each year using the two-step method.

As of December 27, 2008, the Company completed its annual impairment test. The Company performed the first step of its goodwill impairment test and determined that the book value of the Company exceeded its fair value based on the quoted market price of the Company’s stock as of December 26, 2008. The result of the first step indicated that goodwill was impaired and therefore, the Company performed the second step of the goodwill analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The second step analyzes any excess or implied fair value of goodwill upon allocating the fair value of the Company to all its assets and liabilities other than goodwill and then comparing the residual amount, if any, to the book value of the goodwill. There was no residual amount of goodwill to allocate upon completing this step. As the deteriorating global economy adversely affected the Company’s common stock price, the Company concluded that 100% of the goodwill was impaired due to the significant and sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization to below the book value. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $765,000 for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. As of June 27, 2009, there was no goodwill recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Evaluation of Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions through September 11, 2009, which is the date that these financial statements were issued. On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. providing for a revolving line credit facility for up to $20 million and paid off the CIT Group/Business Credit, inc. (CIT) revolving loan (See Note 4 to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Newly Adopted and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (Codification) as the single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. SFAS No. 168 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and will be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2010. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events. SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. SFAS No. 165 updates previous guidance under GAAP by replacing “type 1” and “type 2” with “recognized” and “unrecognized.” Additionally, it requires disclosure in financial statements of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 in June 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 107-1, APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP No. 107-1, 28-1 requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements in order to provide more timely information about the effects of current market conditions on financial instruments. The adoption of this disclosure only guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and will be effective beginning the Company’s first interim period of fiscal 2010.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP No. 141(R)-1 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably determined. If the fair value of such assets or liabilities cannot be reasonably determined, then they would generally be recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies and FASB Interpretation No. 14, Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 5. This FSP also amends the subsequent accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination and certain other disclosure requirements. FSP No. 141(R)-1 is effective for the Company as of June 28, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company will be required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why derivative instruments are used, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted SFAS No. 161 as of March 28, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of SFAS No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument with certain exceptions and is applied generally on an irrevocable basis to the entire instrument. SFAS No. 159 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. SFAS No. 159 was effective for the Company as of June 29, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option for our financial instruments. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles, and expands the requisite disclosure for fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 as of September 27, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Fiscal Year

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal years end on the Saturday nearest June 30. As such, fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007 ended on June 27, 2009, June 28, 2008, and June 30, 2007, respectively. Fiscal year 2010 will end on July 3, 2010, which is a 53 week year. Fiscal years 2009, 2008 and 2007 were 52 week years.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company sold its under-utilized Las Cruces, New Mexico facility. The total sales price for the facility and adjacent vacant land was $4.3 million. Sales proceeds were in the form of $2.8 million in cash and an additional $1.5 million note from the buyer. The cash received was for the purchase of the building and approximately 9 acres of land while the note was to pay for the adjacent 14 acres of additional land. The note was payable within 45 days of the flood plain designation being removed from the adjacent vacant land. Due to the contingent nature of the note, the Company recognized a $1.5 million gain on real estate held for the sale of the building and 9 acres of land in fiscal year 2007 and deferred the gain on sale of the adjacent land. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2008, the flood plain designation was removed on the adjacent 14 acres of land resulting in the recognition of a gain on sale of real estate of $951,000 with the cash proceeds being received in January 2008.

In December 2000, the Company sold its headquarters building, located in Spokane, Washington. In conjunction with the sale, the Company entered into a ten year leaseback agreement for a portion of the building. The gain on the sale of the building was deferred under other long-term obligations and is amortized to offset lease expenses over the remaining lease term, which expires in December 2010.

4. LONG-TERM DEBT

In 2001, the Company entered into a financing agreement CIT which provides a revolving credit facility up to $25 million. The interest rate provisions allow for a variable rate based on either the prime rate or a set LIBOR rate on specific short term traunches. The agreement specifies four alternative levels of margin to be added to these base rates depending on achieving a defined financial ratio. The range of interest being paid to CIT on outstanding balances was 1.82% -3.25% as of June 27, 2009 and 4.38% – 6.71% as of June 28, 2008. The decrease in interest rates was a result of lower published prime and LIBOR rates.

The Company negotiated a decrease in the level of margin added in a loan agreement amendment signed in August 2006. The agreement contains financial covenants that related to total equity, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and a minimum fixed charge ratio. All but one of the financial covenants, the minimum fixed charge ratio, were removed by subsequent amendments to the financing agreement as of August 2006. As of June 27, 2009, the Company was in compliance with the remaining financial covenant. At June 27, 2009, the outstanding revolving loan balance was $2.4 million compared to $12.3 million at fiscal year end June 28, 2008. Based on eligible collateral, approximately $15.3 million was available to draw from the revolving line of credit as of June 27, 2009.

The revolving credit facility with CIT was set to mature on August 22, 2009. On August 19, 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. providing for a revolving line credit facility for up to $20 million and paid off the CIT revolving loan of $2.1 million. The agreement specifies that the proceeds of the revolving line of credit be used primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries. Borrowings under this revolving line of credit bear interest at either a “Base Rate” or a “Fixed Rate”, as elected by the Company. The base rate is the higher of the prime rate, daily one month LIBOR plus 1.5%, or the Federal Funds rate plus 1.5% and the fixed rate is LIBOR plus 2.1% or LIBOR plus 2.5% depending on the level of trailing four quarters EBITDA.

The new line of credit is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Based on the trailing four quarters EBITDA as of June 27, 2009, the Company could borrow up to $14.4 million under the new line of credit. The agreement is for a term of two years beginning on August 19, 2009 and ending on August 18, 2011. The Company must comply with certain financial covenants, including a cash flow leverage ratio and a trading ratio. The credit agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum profit threshold, limits the maximum lease expenditures and restricts the Company from declaring or paying dividends in cash or stock.

The Company had an income tax provision of $130,000, $261,000 and $206,000 in fiscal years 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. The tax provision in fiscal years 2009 and 2008 is primarily related to income taxes in China and Mexico. The income tax provision in 2007 was primarily related to income taxes in the United States which was caused by a one-time repatriation of earnings from our Mexico operations.

In addition to its domestic operations, the Company has subsidiaries in Mexico and China. The Company is currently applying certain tax credits to offset the income tax liabilities of its Mexican subsidiaries. However, as of January 1, 2008, the Company is subject to a recently enacted Mexican business flat tax called Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica (IETU). The effect of IETU and an associated presidential decree on fiscal year 2009 has been included in the effective tax rate as of June 27, 2009 and was approximately $199,000. The Company continues to pay income tax in China.

The Company has domestic tax net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) of approximately $33.2 million at June 27, 2009. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, management assessed the Company’s recent operating levels and the sources of future taxable income to estimate a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance against deferred tax assets is required if it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management has determined that the $8.3 million valuation allowance is appropriate.

Table of Contents

The Company does not provide for domestic income taxes on the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, due to the fact that unremitted earnings are not intended by management to be repatriated in the foreseeable future. If such earnings were subsequently recognized in the United States, the Company would be subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and potential withholding taxes in foreign jurisdictions.

FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires the Company to recognize in its financial statements uncertainties in tax positions taken that may not be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. If interest or penalties are assessed, the Company would recognize these charges as income tax expense. Upon adoption of FIN 48 and subsequently, the Company determined that no adjustments were necessary in implementing FIN 48. Unrecognized tax benefits are not anticipated to increase or decrease over the next 12 months.

The Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal tax rate as follows:

At June 27, 2009 the Company had NOLs of approximately $33.2 million. The remaining net operating loss carryforwards expire in varying amounts through 2025. Utilization of NOLs would be limited in the event the Company’s ownership changes more than 50% in a three-year period. The Company also has general business credits and alternative minimum tax credits approximating $147,000 and $114,000, respectively. The general business credits expire in varying amounts through fiscal year 2010. The alternative minimum tax credits do not expire.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by including both the weighted-average number of shares outstanding and any dilutive common share equivalents in the denominator. The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominator and the number of antidilutive common share options that were not included. These antidilutive securities occur when options outstanding have an option price greater than the average market price for the period.

7. STOCK OPTION AND BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has an executive stock option plan for certain key employees. Options under this plan vest over one to three years and become exercisable as they vest. Options under the plan become exercisable in full immediately prior to the occurrence of a “Change in Control” as defined in the plan documents. As of June 27, 2009, 697,502 options were outstanding and exercisable under the Executive Stock Option Plan and other plans which have terminated. There are 68,500 shares available for future grant under the plan. These options expire five to ten years from the date of vesting.

The Company also has a stock option plan for “Nonemployee Directors.” Options under this plan vested over a three-year period and are exercisable. The Company reserved 300,000 shares for issuance under this plan. As of June 27, 2009, 87,325 options were outstanding. The plan has terminated and no more options can be granted under this plan. Outstanding options expire five to ten years from the date of vesting.

Rental expenses under operating leases were approximately $3.4 million, $3.7 million, and $4.4 million in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

Warranty Costs: The Company provides warranties on certain product sales, and allowances for estimated warranty costs are recorded during the period of sale. The determination of such allowances requires the Company to make estimates of product return rates and expected costs to repair or to replace the products under warranty. The Company establishes warranty reserves based on historical warranty costs for each product line combined with liability estimates based on the prior twelve months’ sales activities.

If actual return rates and/or repair and replacement costs differ significantly from estimates, adjustments to recognize additional cost of sales may be required in future periods.

Components of the reserve for warranty costs during 2009, 2008, and 2007 were as follows:

The recovery in fiscal year 2009 related to the release of a warranty claim for a specific product that was identified in fiscal year 2008. Warranty expense for fiscal years 2008 and 2007 is related to workmanship claims on keyboards and certain EMS products.

Litigation: The Company may be party to certain lawsuits or claims in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not believe that these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flow of the Company.

Indemnification Rights: Under the Company’s Bylaws, the Company’s directors and officers have certain rights to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers. The Company maintains director and officer insurance, which may cover certain liabilities arising from its obligation to indemnify its directors and officers and former directors in certain circumstances.

9. GOODWILL

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $765,000, which related to the acquisition of Honeywell’s manufacturing facilities in Juarez, Mexico in fiscal year 1994. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, goodwill is not amortized, but must be analyzed for impairment at least annually. The Company’s goodwill impairment analysis was performed at the end of the second quarter each year using the two-step method.

As of December 27, 2008, the Company completed its annual impairment test. The Company performed the first step of its goodwill impairment test and determined that the book value of the Company exceeded its fair value based on the quoted market price of the Company’s stock as of December 26, 2008. The result of the first step indicated that goodwill was impaired and therefore, the Company performed the second step of the goodwill analysis in accordance with SFAS No. 142. The second step analyzes any excess or implied fair value of goodwill upon allocating the fair value of the Company to all its assets and liabilities other than goodwill and then comparing the residual amount, if any, to the book value of the goodwill.

There was no residual amount of goodwill to allocate upon completing this step. As the deteriorating global economy adversely affected the Company’s common stock price, the Company concluded that 100% of the goodwill was impaired due to the significant and sustained decline in the Company’s market capitalization to below the book value. The Company recorded an impairment charge of $765,000 for the quarter ended December 27, 2008. As of June 27, 2009, there was no goodwill recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for assets and liabilities being measured and reported at fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. There was not a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the result of adopting this new standard. There are three levels of fair value hierarchy inputs used to value assets and liabilities which include: Level 1 – inputs are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 – inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes the Company’s financial assets and liabilities (only those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis) at fair value as of June 27, 2009 (in thousands):

Financial Assets:

           

Foreign currency forward contracts

   $ —      $ 912    $ —      $ 912

The Company currently has forward contracts to lock in known future cash outflows for expenses denominated in the Mexican peso. These contracts are measured on a recurring basis based on the foreign currency spot rates and forward rates quoted by banks or foreign currency dealers. These contracts are marked to market using level 2 input criteria every period with the unrealized gain or loss reported as a component of shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, as they qualify for hedge accounting.

11. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to SFAS No. 133, the Company has expanded the quarterly and annual disclosures on its derivative instruments and hedging activities. The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts and those contracts are accounted for as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI) and is reclassified into earnings in the same period which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. The derivative’s effectiveness represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item.

The Company transacts business in Mexico and is subject to the risk of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign currency fluctuations for Mexican peso denominated payroll, utility, tax, and accounts payable expenses. The foreign currency forward contracts have terms that are matched to the underlying transactions being hedged. As a result they are expected to fully offset the hedged risk and no ineffectiveness has been recorded.

Table of Contents

As of June 27, 2009, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts of $17.8 million. These contract maturity dates do not exceed 12 months. As of June 27, 2009, the net amount of existing gains expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months was $912,000. The Company determined the ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges to be immaterial.

The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company’s counterparties to the foreign currency forward contracts are major banking institutions. These institutions do not require collateral for the contracts and the Company believes that the risk of the counterparties failing to meet their contractual obligations is remote.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s principal customers will continue to purchase products from the Company at current levels. Moreover, the Company typically does not enter into long-term volume purchase contracts with its customers, and the Company’s customers have certain rights to extend or delay the shipment of their orders. The loss of one or more of the Company’s major customers, or the reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from such customers, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

Item 9: CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURES

None

Item 9A (T):    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is the responsibility of our management to establish, maintain, and monitor disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. Additionally, these disclosure controls include controls and procedures that are designed to accumulate and communicate the information required to be disclosed to our company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, allowing for timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Based on our assessment, we believe that as of June 27, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective based on that criteria.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management has the responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal controls over our financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our external financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

 

43


Table of Contents

Due to inherent limitations of any internal control system, management acknowledges that there are limitations as to the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting and therefore recognize that only reasonable assurance can be gained from any internal control system. Accordingly, our internal control system may not detect or prevent material misstatements in our financial statements and projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of June 27, 2009. This assessment was based on the criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we believe that as of June 27, 2009, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on that criteria.

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

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter ended June 27, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a – 15(f) and 15d – 15(f)).
