Executive Summary

For the quarter ended March 31, 2012 total sales were approximately 34.9% lower than sales for the same quarter last year. Offsetting the sales decline, however, selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced by approximately 27.9% compared with the first quarter last year. Consequently, our pretax loss for the first quarter 2012 was approximately $10,000 less than our pretax loss for the first quarter last year.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, total sales were approximately $4.4 million, compared with approximately $6.7 million for the same quarter last year. Sales of P25 digital products for the first quarter 2012 totaled approximately $2.2 million (49.8% of total sales) compared with approximately $4.5 million (67.4% of total sales) for the same quarter last year.

Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 were 38.2% compared with 38.7% for the same quarter last year, reflecting reduced manufacturing volumes and a lower mix of P25 digital product sales.

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) totaled approximately $2.3 million (53.6% of sales) compared with approximately $3.2 million (48.4% of sales) for the same quarter last year. The decrease in SG&A expenses for the first quarter 2012 compared with the same quarter last year was the result of reductions in engineering, marketing, selling, headquarters and public company expenses.

Pretax loss for the first quarter 2012 totaled approximately $678,000 compared with a pretax loss of approximately $688,000 for the same quarter last year. Income tax benefit for the first quarter 2012 was approximately $277,000, compared with no income tax benefit or expense for the first quarter last year.

Net loss for the first quarter 2012 was approximately $401,000 ($0.03 per basic share), compared with a net loss totaling $688,000 ($0.05 per basic share) for the same quarter last year.

As of March 31, 2012, working capital totaled approximately $19.1 million, of which approximately $5.6 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables. As of December 31, 2011, working capital totaled approximately $19.5 million, of which approximately $6.8 million was comprised of cash and trade receivables.

Net Sales

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, net sales were approximately $4.4 million, compared with approximately $6.7 million for the same quarter last year. Sales of P25 digital products for the quarter totaled approximately $2.2 million (49.8% of total sales), compared with approximately $4.5 million (67.4% of total sales) for the same quarter last year.

Net sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 decreased approximately $2.3 million (34.9%) compared with the first quarter last year. The decrease was attributable entirely to a decline in sales of P25 digital products to federal, state and local government agencies.

Despite our sluggish sales in the first quarter 2012, we believe we are strategically positioned with our broad portfolio of products to aggressively pursue significant sales opportunities at various federal, state and local government and public safety agencies and ultimately achieve our sales growth objectives. For instance, as announced in March 2012, we were named as a supplier on the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Tactical Communications contract (TacCom). The contract is for the procurement of P25 digital two-way radios and related equipment by all agencies of the DHS, as well as certain other non-DHS agencies, such as the U.S. Departments of Justice, State, Interior, and the White House Communications Agency. The maximum total value of the contract is $3 billion with a two-year base period commencing on March 26, 2012, and three one-year option periods at the option of the DHS from March 26, 2014 through March 26, 2017. The contract names RELM among a select group of suppliers that meet established qualifications. The contract also contains guidelines intended to assure that qualified small business suppliers are the beneficiaries of a portion of the equipment procurements made under the contract. RELM is one of only three companies designated by the contract as a qualified small business supplier for subscriber equipment (i.e. portable and mobile two-way radios). The contract does not specify purchase dates or quantities of equipment from any particular named supplier.

Cost of Products and Gross Margin

Gross margins as a percentage of sales for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 were 38.2% compared with 38.7% for the same quarter last year.

Our cost of products and gross margins are primarily related to material and labor costs, product mix, manufacturing volumes and pricing. Margins for the first quarter 2012 reflect the impact of lower sales and the resulting decrease in manufacturing volume. Accordingly, we did not fully utilize and absorb our base of manufacturing and support expenses. Also, the mix of product sales in the first quarter 2012 was less favorable compared to the same quarter last year due to lower sales of P25 digital products.

We continue to utilize contract manufacturing relationships to maximize production efficiencies and minimize material and labor costs. We also regularly consider manufacturing alternatives to improve quality, speed and costs. We anticipate that the current contract manufacturing relationships or comparable alternatives will be available to us in the future. Increases in total sales volumes and P-25 product sales, combined with the aforementioned manufacturing improvements, we believe, should yield gross margin improvements.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist of marketing, sales, commissions, engineering, product development, management information systems, accounting, headquarters and non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses.

SG&A expenses for the first quarter 2012 declined approximately $908,000 (28.0%) to approximately $2.3 million (53.6% of sales), compared with approximately $3.2 million (48.4% of sales) for the same quarter last year.

Engineering and product development expenses for the first quarter 2012 declined approximately $565,000 (40.0%) compared with the same quarter last year. The expense decrease for the first quarter 2012 was the result of expense reductions implemented during the second quarter last year and maintained thereafter, as some product development initiatives were completed.

Marketing and selling expenses for the first quarter 2012 decreased by approximately $297,000 (25.7%) compared with the same quarter last year. These decreases relate primarily to commission and expense reductions implemented during the second quarter last year and maintained thereafter. Although expenses have been reduced, we are prioritizing and supporting critical initiatives for sales growth.

General and administrative expenses for the first quarter 2012 decreased by approximately $46,000 (6.7%), compared with the same quarter last year. These expense reductions are primarily the result of reduced headquarters and public company expenses, including non-cash share-based employee compensation expenses.

Operating Loss

Operating loss for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $673,000 (15.4% of sales), compared with an operating loss of approximately $647,000 (9.6% of sales) for the same quarter last year. The operating loss for the first quarter was driven primarily by reduced total sales and sales of P25 digital equipment that contributed to lower gross margins. These factors were partially offset by operating expense reductions implemented during the second quarter last year and maintained since then.

Net Interest Expense

For the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, we reported no net interest expense, compared with $35,000 of net interest expense for the same quarter last year. We incur interest expense on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility and earn interest income on our cash balances. We had no borrowings under our revolving credit facility during the first quarter 2012. The interest rate on such revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2012 was 4.50% per annum. This rate is variable based on the lender's prime rate plus 50 basis points.

Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of approximately $277,000, compared with no income tax benefit or expense for the same quarter last year. Our income tax benefit is primarily non-cash.

As of March 31, 2012, our net deferred tax assets totaled approximately $8.4 million, and are primarily composed of net operating loss carry forwards (NOLs). These NOLs total $10.7 million for federal and $18.8 million for state purposes, with expirations starting in 2017 through 2030.

In order to fully utilize the net deferred tax assets, we will need to generate sufficient taxable income in future years to utilize our NOLs prior to their expiration. ASC Topic 740, "Income Taxes", requires us to analyze all positive and negative evidence to determine if, based on the weight of available evidence, we are more likely than not to realize the benefit of the net deferred tax assets. The recognition of the net deferred tax assets and related tax benefits is based upon our conclusions regarding, among other considerations, estimates of future earnings based on information currently available, current and anticipated customers, contracts and product introductions, as well as historical operating results and certain tax planning strategies.

We have evaluated the available evidence and the likelihood of realizing the benefit of our net deferred tax assets. From our evaluation we have concluded that based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that we will not realize a portion of the benefit of our net deferred tax assets recorded at March 31, 2012. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2012, we maintained our valuation allowance totaling approximately $250,000 for the portion of benefit of our federal and state deferred tax assets that more likely than not will not be realized. We cannot presently estimate what, if any, changes to the valuation of our deferred tax assets may be deemed appropriate in the future. If we incur future losses, it may be necessary to record additional valuation allowance related to the deferred tax assets recognized as of March 31, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $777,000 compared with approximately $323,000 for the same quarter last year. Cash provided by operating activities during the first quarter 2012 was primarily related to collections of trade receivables, which were partially offset by our net loss, payments of accounts payable and increased inventory. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we realized a net loss of approximately $401,000 compared with approximately $688,000 for the same quarter last year. The approximately $2.0 million decrease in accounts receivable as of March 31, 2012 was primarily the result of collections from customers, while the $360,000 decrease in accounts payable was the result of payments to suppliers. For the same period last year accounts receivable decreased approximately $1.2 million due to collections, and accounts payable increased by approximately $508,000 primarily due to material purchases. Net inventories increased during the first quarter 2012 by approximately $385,000 in support of our broader product portfolio and anticipated demand, compared with an increase of approximately $1.4 million for the same quarter last year. We are continuing our efforts to actively manage purchases and better align inventory with anticipated business levels. Depreciation and amortization totaled approximately $317,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, compared with approximately $351,000 for the same quarter last year as some capital assets have reached the end or later stage of their depreciation cycle.

Cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $19,000 compared with approximately $118,000 for the same quarter last year. Cash used in investing activities for both the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and the prior year's quarter was primarily to fund the purchase of test equipment and manufacturing tooling. We anticipate that future capital expenditures will be funded through our existing cash balance and operating cash flow.

Cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $20,000, representing proceeds from the issuance of common stock. For the same quarter last year cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $300,000, which represented borrowings under our revolving credit facility of approximately $1.5 million net of repayments of approximately $1.2 million.

We have a secured revolving credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank with maximum borrowing availability of $5 million (subject to the borrowing base) and a maturity date of December 31, 2012.

As of March 31, 2012 and the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the loan and security agreement, as amended, governing the revolving credit facility. For a description of such covenants and the other terms and conditions of the loan and security agreement, as amended, reference is made to Note 6 (Debt) of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2012 and the date of this report, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2012 and the date of this report, there was approximately $2,623 and $2,553, respectively, of borrowing available under the revolving credit facility.

Our cash balance at March 31, 2012 was approximately $3.5 million. We believe these funds combined with anticipated cash generated from operations and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility are sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, although we do not anticipate needing additional capital in the near term, the current financial and economic conditions could limit our access to credit and impair our ability to raise capital, if needed, on acceptable terms or at all. We also face other risks that could impact our business, liquidity and financial condition. For a description of these risks, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies

In response to the SEC's financial reporting release, FR-60, Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies, we have selected for disclosure our revenue recognition process and our accounting processes involving significant judgments, estimates and assumptions. These processes affect our reported revenues and current assets and are therefore critical in assessing our financial and operating status. We regularly evaluate these processes in preparing our financial statements. The processes for revenue recognition, allowance for collection of trade receivables, reserves for excess or obsolete inventory, software development and income taxes involve certain assumptions and estimates that we believe to be reasonable under present facts and circumstances. These estimates and assumptions, if incorrect, could adversely impact our operations and financial position. There were no changes to our critical accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as described in Item 7. of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
