Note D — Hayward, CA Operation Move:
On August 20, 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement to relocate its Hayward, CA operation to Union City, CA. The current lease expires September 30, 2010 and the Company has an agreement with the current landlord to lease the facility month to month as necessary. The Company anticipates it will relocate into the new facility no later than October 31, 2010. In July 2010, the Company recorded $212,500 in expenses related to the move for the partial write off of leasehold improvements and restoration expenses. The Company will incur additional expenses due to the relocation of its Hayward, CA operation, which are estimated to be $500,000 to $1,000,000. These expenses will be recorded in the second fiscal quarter of 2011. All incentives realized under the lease will be recognized over the term of the lease, which is ten years.
Note E — Financing Transaction:
The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $25 million. The term of the credit facility extends for two years, through January 8, 2012, and allows the Company to choose the interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half percent (3.75% at July 31, 2010) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (3.1% at July 31, 2010). The LIBOR rate has a floor of .35%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at July 31, 2010. As of July 31, 2010, there was $22,743,099 outstanding balance under the credit facility and approximately $2,250,000 of unused availability. In August 2010, the Company and Wells Fargo increased the Company’s senior secured credit facility from $25 million to $30 million.

Note F — Critical Accounting Policies:
Management Estimates and Uncertainties — The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition — Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. In general, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the order has been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order except for consignment inventory. Consignment inventory is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption, or use, by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such transfer. The Company from time to time may ship an order from its facilities which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances. The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.
Inventories — Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets — The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.
New Accounting Standards:
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued update No. 2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), which provides updated guidance on disclosure requirements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly SFAS 157,

Table of Contents

“Fair Value Measures”). We have adopted ASU 2010-06 as of May 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron International, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex S.A. de C.V., and SigmaTron International Trading Co., and its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. (“SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan (collectively the “Company”) and other Items in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations. Words such as “continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from our customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets impairment testing; the variability of our customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the current turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; the expenses and savings from the relocation of our Hayward, California facility; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth. These and other factors which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and as risk factors and may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak as of the date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise required by law.
Overview:
The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.
The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers or

Table of Contents

increases in component cost could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. In the past several months the Company has experienced an increase in lead times for various types of components, due to increased demand. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with the majority of its major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provide flexibility needed to source inventory based on the needs of its customers.
Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment or turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company’s gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.
In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings, and the Company expects such fluctuations to continue. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically makes forecasting difficult in the short-term and for the balance of fiscal year 2011. The Company experienced an increase in demand during the first quarter of fiscal year 2011 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Results of Operations:
Net Sales
Net sales increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 to $38,061,373 from $26,330,054 for the three month period ended July 31, 2009. Sales volume increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior year in the industrial electronics, fitness, appliance, telecommunications, semiconductor equipment and gaming marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the consumer electronics and life sciences marketplaces. The increase in revenue for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 is a result of our existing customers’ increased demand for product and the addition of some new customer programs ramping up.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased during the three month period ended July 31, 2010 to $4,658,154 or 12.2% of net sales, compared to $2,259,853 or 8.6% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross margin in total dollars and as a percent of sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 compared to the prior period is due to increased revenue levels, the mix of product shipped to various customers and continuing efforts to control costs, specifically indirect labor and overhead expenses. There can be no assurance that sales levels and gross margins will not decrease in future quarters. Pricing pressures continue at all locations.

Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $3,053,186, or 8.0% of net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 compared to $2,576,841, or 9.8% of net sales in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in selling and administrative expenses as a percent of net sales is the result of the increased revenue levels for the period. The increase in total dollars for the three month period ended July 31, 2010, is primarily due to a restoration of salary reductions previously implemented in response to the downturn in business, bonus expense, travel, professional fees and depreciation expense totaling approximately $537,650. The increase in selling and administrative expenses in total dollars for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $61,300 in amortization expense and other selling and administrative expenses.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased to $247,450 for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 compared to $244,096 for the same period in fiscal 2010. The additional interest expense was attributable to the Company’s increased borrowings under its banking agreements, deferred financing costs and higher interest rates under its senior secured facility and mortgage. Interest expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2010 was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense for capital lease obligations, which had a lower outstanding balance compared to the same quarter in the prior year. Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, continue to increase.
Taxes
The income tax expense from operations was $503,681 for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 compared to an income tax benefit of $236,306 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 37% for each of the quarters ended July 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net Income/Loss
Net income from operations increased to $857,989 for the three month period ended July 31, 2010 compared to a net loss from operations of $402,475 for the same period in the prior year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2011 were $0.22, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.11 for the same period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Operating Activities.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $3,393,354 for the three months ended July 31, 2010, compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $2,176,110 for the same period in the prior year. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, cash flow used in operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventories of $7,758,729 due to an increase in customer demand and the start up of new customer programs. Net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable. The change in accounts payable is due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business.

Table of Contents

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,176,110 for the three months ended July 31, 2009. During the first three months of fiscal year 2010, cash flow provided by operating activities was due to a decrease in inventory and the result of the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in accounts payable. The decrease in inventory of $2,076,542 was the result of our customers’ decreased demand for product based on their forecasts, which we believe was attributable to the global economic slowdown and financial crisis. Net cash provided by operations was partially offset by a $1,530,562 increase in accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the timing of payments from a significant customer.
Investing Activities.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company purchased approximately $2,300,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business. Approximately $70,400 of the purchases is pursuant to a financed licensing agreement for software through a note payable. The Company expects to make additional machinery and equipment purchases of approximately $1,900,000 during the balance of fiscal year 2011.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased approximately $700,000 in machinery and equipment in the ordinary course of business.
Financing Activities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $5,924,426 for the first quarter ended July 31, 2010, compared to cash used in financing activities of $1,460,757 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of increased borrowings of $7,618,041 under the credit facility. The additional working capital was required to support the increase in inventory.
Financing Transactions.
The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), with a credit limit up to $25 million. The term of the credit facility extends for two years, through January 8, 2012, and allows the Company to choose the interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half percent (3.75% at July 31, 2010) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (3.1% at July 31, 2010). The LIBOR rate has a floor of 35%. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at July 31, 2010. As of July 31, 2010, there was $22,743,099 outstanding balance under the credit facility and approximately $2,250,000 of unused availability. In August 2010, the Company and Wells Fargo increased the Company’s senior secured credit facility from $25 million to $30 million.
The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on January 8, 2010, in the amount of $2,500,000 with Wells Fargo to refinance the property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters and its Illinois manufacturing facility. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% per year and is payable in sixty monthly installments. A final payment of approximately $2,000,000 is due on or before January 8, 2015. The outstanding balance as of July 31, 2010 was $2,450,002. At July 31, 2009, there was $2,626,375 outstanding under a mortgage agreement with Bank of America.
On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement

extends to January 18, 2012 with monthly payments of $55,872 and a fixed interest rate of 4.29%. At July 31, 2010, the balance outstanding of Wells Fargo leases was $919,946. At July 31, 2009 there was $1,551,316 outstanding balance under capital leases with Bank of America. The Company has other capital leases with balances outstanding in the amount of $309,413 and $643,323 at July 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan international procurement office. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the three months ended July 31, 2010, resulted in an income of approximately $44,800. During the first three months of fiscal year 2011, the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $3,760,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided.
The Company anticipates its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the balance of fiscal year 2011. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate continues for an extended period or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all in the future.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business.

Item 1A.   Risk Factors.
The information presented below includes any material changes to the description of the risk factors affecting our business as previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010.
The Company’s business could be adversely affected by worldwide economic conditions.
The current challenging worldwide economic conditions could adversely affect the Company’s business and/or operating results by:
    reduced sales,
 
    increased operating costs,
 
    customers’ inability to accurately forecast orders,
 
    increased inventory carrying costs,
 
    increased risk of uncollectible customer accounts receivable and unpaid customer inventory obligations,
 
    limiting the Company’s access to affordable financing.
Sales:
If the current worldwide challenging economic condition continues, many of the Company’s customers may delay or reduce their orders. In addition, many of the Company’s customers may rely on credit financing in order operate their businesses. If the negative conditions in the global credit markets reduce our customers’ access to credit, orders may decrease, which could result in lower revenue.

Table of Contents

Operating Costs:
If the Company’s suppliers have difficulty obtaining credit required to finance their businesses, they may become unable to continue to manufacture, or supply the components used to manufacture, our customer’s products. These disruptions could decrease the Company’s revenue and increase operating costs, which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
Inventory Carrying Costs:
The challenging worldwide economic conditions and market instability make it increasingly difficult for the Company’s customers to accurately forecast future order trends. This condition could result in customers pushing back their product order acceptance schedules, which could result in increased inventory carrying costs. The increased carrying costs could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial results.
Uncollectible Accounts:
The Company could suffer significant losses if a customer is unable to pay its accounts receivable or if the customer is unable to pay for its inventory procured by the Company on its behalf. An increase in uncollectible accounts receivable or customers’ inability to pay the Company for inventory obligations would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial results.
Access to Credit:
If credit markets continue to tighten, the Company’s bank could be unwilling to continue to extend credit to the Company at the current level of the credit facility, if at all. The Company’s ability to finance its operations could be negatively affected in such an event. (See the Financing Transactions, page 12, above).
