Results of Operations
First Quarter Ended September 30, 2012 ("2012"), Compared to the First Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 ("2011")
PHAZAR CORP's consolidated sales from operations were $1,159,836 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to sales of $1,415,218 for the first quarter ended September 30, 2011. The Company's revenue decreased $255,382 or 18%, as sales from our Shipboard and safety climb product lines are down $123,755 and $108,045, respectively, quarter over quarter.
Cost of sales and contracts from operations were $1,319,406 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $779,319 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, up $540,087, or 69%. The $540,087 increase consists of approximately $600,000 reserve for slow moving inventory offset by a $59,943 (or 8%) decline in cost of goods sold on back of 18% decrease in sales quarter over quarter. The Company reviewed its policy in estimating slow moving inventory to more readily identify inventory that may have become impaired or obsolete due to advancing technology and changes in demand of product by some customers. As such, the Company incurred a charge of approximately $600,000 which represents a reserve of $197,794 and $402,206 against the raw material and finished goods inventories, respectively. Gross profit margins for the quarter, at 38% before the slow moving inventory charge, were down seven basis points from the 45% gross profit margin reported in the comparable period last year, related to a higher level of overhead rates and a change in product mix.
Sales and administration expense of $537,996 is down $207,374 or 27.8% for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to the prior year expense of $745,370 related to an increase in plant utilization overhead. Research and development costs of $174,096 were up $74,634, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $99,462 in the prior year. The increase represents continued product development for the commercial wireless product line.
The Company recorded a net loss of $785,372, or $0.34 per share for the three month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to net loss of $120,255, or $0.05 per share for the comparable period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources of Liquidity
Based on current trends, funds from operations, current cash balances and its reasonable belief on available bank financing, PHAZAR CORP believes there are sufficient resources to run the Company's operations for at least the next twelve months.
Capital Requirements
Management of the operating subsidiaries evaluates the facilities and reviews equipment requirements for existing and projected contracts on a regular basis. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, there were no capital expenditures for new and replacement equipment compared to $37,250 of expenditures in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. At this time, the Company does not anticipate any significant capital expenditures for improvements and new equipment during fiscal year 2013.

Cash Flows
Operating Activities
Cash and cash equivalents of $797,814 at September 30, 2012 are up $268,938, or 50.9% on a balance of $528,876 as of June 30, 2012. The primary components comprising the positive $268,938 of cash flow from operations consist of a $471,439 decrease in inventory, $465,576 decrease in accounts receivable offset by the net loss of $785,372. The decrease in inventory is attributed to the approximate $600,000 charge associated with a change to the slow moving inventory estimate offset by a $128,561 increase in work in progress inventory. The decrease in accounts receivable reflects the decline in revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2012.
