DIGITAL POWER CORPORATION AND ITS SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
U.S. dollars in thousands, except share and per share data
|
a.
|
Digital Power Corporation (the "Company" or "DPC") was incorporated in 1969, under the General Corporation Law of the State of California. The Company and Digital Power Limited ("DPL"), a wholly owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom, are currently engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of switching power supplies and converters. The Company has two reportable geographic segments - North America (sales through DPC) and Europe (sales through DPL).
|
|
b.
|
The Company depends on Telkoor Telecom Ltd. ("Telkoor"), a major shareholder of the Company and one of DPC's third party subcontractors, for design and manufacturing capabilities of some of the products which the Company sells. The Company also relies on third party contract manufacturer’s (CMs) to manufacture its products. If Telkoor and these manufacturers are unable or unwilling to continue manufacturing the Company's products in required volumes on a timely basis, that could lead to loss of sales, and adversely affect the Company's operating results and cash position. The Company also depends on Telkoor's intellectual property and its willingness and ability to transfer production to third party manufacturers allowing the Company to use these production rights. Failure to obtain new products in a timely manner or delay in delivery of product to customers would have an adverse effect on the Company's ability to meet its customers' expectations.
|
NOTE 2:- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
a.
|
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2011 are applied consistently in these financial statements. In addition, the following accounting policy is applied:
|
|
b.
|
Marketable securities:
The Company classifies its investment in Telkoor's shares as available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC 320 (originally issued as SFAS 115), "Investment in Debt and Equity Securities". The investment is stated at market value. Unrealized gains and losses are comprised of the difference between market value and the investment fair value at the acquisition date and are reflected as "accumulated other comprehensive loss" in equity.
|
|
c.
|
Accounting for stock-based compensation:
The Company has several stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 4. The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Statement ("ASC") 718 (formerly SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004)) "Stock compensation" ("ASC 718").
The Company and its subsidiary apply ASC 718 and ASC 505-50 (formerly EITF 96-18) "Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees" ("ASC 505-50") to options issued to non-employees. ASC 718 requires use of an option valuation model to measure the fair value of the options at the grant date.

Under the provisions of ASC 718, the fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Sholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions such as stock price on the date of the grant, exercise price, risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected life and expected dividend yield of the option. Expected volatility is based exclusively on historical volatility of the entity's stock as allowed by ASC 718. The Company uses historical information with respect to the employee options exercised to estimate the expected term of options granted, representing the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate of period within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
No options were granted during the first six month of 2012. The fair value for options granted in the three months ended June 30, 2011 is amortized over their vesting period using a straight-line recognition method and estimated at the date of grant with the following assumptions:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements regarding future events and our future results that are subject to the safe harbors created under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our expectations, beliefs, forecasts, intentions and future strategies and are signified by the words "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "believes" or similar language. In addition, any statements that refer to projections of our future financial performance, our anticipated growth and trends in our business and other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, including those identified below, under “Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this quarterly report are based on information available to us on the date of this report and speak only as of the date hereof. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
In this quarterly report, the “Company,” “Digital Power,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Limited.
GENERAL
Digital Power Corporation is a solution-driven organization that designs, develops, manufactures and sells high-grade customized and flexible power system solutions for the most demanding applications in the medical, military, telecom and industrial markets. We are highly focused on high-grade and custom product designs for the commercial, medical and military/defense markets, where customers demand high density, high efficiency and ruggedized products to meet the harshest and/or military mission critical operating conditions. We are a California corporation originally formed in 1969, and our common stock trades on the NYSE Amex under the symbol “DPW”. Our corporate headquarters are located in the heart of the Silicon Valley.
We also have a wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Power Limited ("DPL"), which operates under the brand name of “Gresham Power Electronics” (“Gresham”). DPL is located in Salisbury, England, and it designs, manufactures and sells power products and system solutions mainly for the European marketplace, including power conversion, power distribution equipment, DC/AC (Direct Current/Active Current) inverters and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) products. DPL’s defense business specializes in power conversion and distribution equipment for Naval applications.
We believe that we are one of the first companies in the power solutions industry to introduce a product strategy based on the premise that products developed with an extremely flexible architecture enable rapid modifications to meet unique customer requirements for non-standard output voltages. The development and implementation of this strategy has resulted in broad acceptance in the telecom/industrial, and increasingly in the medical market, segments for our new line of high density and high efficiency power products. These products set an industry standard for providing high-power output in package sizes that are among the smallest available for such commercial products.
We market and sell our products to many diverse market segments, including the telecom, industrial, medical and military/defense industries. Our products serve a global market, with an emphasis on North America, Europe and the Far East. We offer a broad product variety, including a full custom product design and production, unique high-speed switching power front-end, modified-standard and value added products of Open-Frame, Compact PCI, Micro TCA, ATCA Front-End, PoE (Power over Ethernet), Inverter, UPS, and complete custom power product solutions for commercial and military marketplaces, providing power output from 50 watts to 72,000 watts.
In an effort to provide short lead-times, high quality products and competitive pricing to support our markets, we have entered into production agreements with several contract manufacturers located in Asia, primarily China. These agreements allow us to better control production costs and ensure high quality products deliverable in a timely manner to meet market demand. However, we use domestic manufacturers to manufacture prototypes, “short production run” and our military products.
We intend to remain an innovative leader in the development of cutting-edge custom power solutions and rich features products to meet any customer needs and requirements, rugged power systems to meet harsh and extreme operation environmental requirements, and high performance, high efficiency, high-density and modular power systems. We are focusing today on developing even more high-grade custom power system solutions for numerous customers in a broadly diversified range of markets and challenging environments. Each product development is based on best of class performance criteria, including unique, advanced feature sets and a special layout to meet our customers’ unique operating conditions where efficiency, size and time to market are key to their success. We are taking initiatives to develop and sell high efficiency “green power” solutions.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2012, COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2011
Revenues
Our revenues decreased by 7.3% to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to decrease in shipment of our custom products to the commercial markets.
Revenues from our U.S. operations decreased by 16.1% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Revenues from our European operations were relatively unchanged and were $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and the same period of 2011. The decrease in revenues in our U.S. operations was attributable to decreased sales of custom products to the commercial market.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, our revenues decreased by 15.7% to $5.2 million from $6.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the revenues was attributable to end of life of certain military products of our European operations and lower demand due in the domestic operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, revenues from our U.S. operations decreased by 14.2% to $2.9 million from $3.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Revenues from our European operations of DPL decreased by 17.6% to $2.3 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, from $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Gross Margins
Gross margins increased to 43.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 40.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 42.5% compared to the gross margins of 39.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly due to lower pricing offered by suppliers and improved product mix.
Engineering and Product Development
Engineering and product development expenses were $160,000, or 5.4% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $202,000, or 6.4% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Engineering and product development expenses were $322,000 or 6.2% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $388,000, or 6.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The overall decrease in our engineering and product development expenses was mainly due to a decreased spending on consulting costs related to new products.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses were $252,000 or 8.6% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $239,000, or 7.5% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Selling and marketing expenses were $490,000 or 9.4% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $514,000, or 8.4% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in the absolute dollars of selling and marketing expenses was primarily due to lower expense in selling and marketing headcount.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses were $393,000 or 13.4% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $433,000, or 13.6% of revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2011. General and administrative expenses were $804,000 or 15.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $882,000, or 14.3% of revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in general and administrative expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly due change in personnel related cost.
Financial Income (Expense)
Financial income was $7,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to financial expenses of $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Financial expense was $22,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to financial expense of $27,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The change in financial results was due to foreign currency fluctuations during the respective periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.9 million and working capital of $4.5 million. This compared with cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million and working capital of $3.8 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and working capital was due mainly to the net income for six months ended June 30, 2012 and decrease in inventory partially offset by an increase in trade receivables and decrease accounts payable and deferred revenue and other current liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $210,000 for six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $337,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Net cash used in investing activities was $71,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $1,034,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The net usage of cash for investing activities in 2011 was due mainly to a purchase of available for sale securities of Telkoor.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $26,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to a employees’ options exercised. There were no cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
We believe we have adequate resources at this time to continue our operational and promotional efforts to increase sales and support our current operation. However, if we do not increase our sales, we may have to raise money through debt or equity, which may dilute shareholders’ equity.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
In our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, we identified the critical accounting policies which affect our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. The basis for developing the estimates and assumptions within our critical accounting policies is based on historical information and known current trends and factors. The estimates and assumptions are evaluated on an ongoing basis and actual results have been within our expectations. We have not changed these policies from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report.

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, with the assistance of other members of the Company's management, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based upon such evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this quarterly report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.
|
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
|
See our disclosures under “Legal Proceedings” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed April 3, 2012. There have been no material developments in those proceedings since that filing.
The risk factors listed in this section provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements. Readers should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
Although we generated operating income and a net income during the six months ended June 30, 2012, we experienced an operating loss and a net loss during the six months ended June 31, 2010, we have historically experienced net losses and we may experience net losses in the future.
For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had an operating income of $587,000 and a net income of $553,000 compared to an operating loss of $52,000 and a net loss of $29,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Although we have actively taken steps to increase our revenue and reduce manufacturing and operating costs, we may incur operating and net losses in the future unless we continue to increase revenues by selling current and custom design products, and continue seeking manufacturing cost reductions through offshore strategic agreements with contract manufacturers.
We depend on Telkoor to design and manufacture some of our products.
We depend on Telkoor, our largest shareholder and one of our third party subcontractors, for design and manufacturing capabilities for some of the products that we sell. If Telkoor is unable or unwilling to continue designing or manufacturing our products in required volumes and with a certain level of quality on a timely basis, that could lead to loss of sales and adversely affect our operating results and cash position. We also depend on Telkoor's intellectual property and ability to transfer production to third party manufacturers. Failure to obtain new products in a timely manner or delay in delivery of products to customers will have an adverse effect on our ability to meet our customers’ expectations. In addition, we operate in highly competitive markets where our ability to sell Telkoor’s products could be adversely affected by Telkoor’s agreements with other companies, long lead-times and the high cost of Telkoor’s products. For example, in April 2008 Telkoor signed a “private label” agreement with Murata Power Solutions ("MPS") in Canada to manufacture and sell Telkoor’s products under the Murata brand name, an agreement which positioned Murata as a direct competitor to us with respect to selling Telkoor’s products in North America.
Also, in 2010, Telkoor’s manufacturing lead-times increased, which has hindered our ability to respond to our customers’ needs. Telkoor’s principal offices, research and development and manufacturing facilities are located in Israel. Political, economic, and military conditions in Israel directly affect Telkoor’s operations. We are also dependent upon Telkoor’s terms and conditions with its contract manufacturers for some of our products, which terms and conditions may not always be in our best interest. In 2010, the Company purchased a certain IP from Telkoor in order to reduce its dependency on Telkoor with respect to a certain line of products.
Beginning in 2010, Telkoor made the decision to not offer Digital Power manufacturing rights on their newer technology, which prevents us from cost-reducing these products. This requires us to buy finished goods directly from Telkoor which, in turn, affects our ability to sell these products at competitive prices.
We are dependent upon our ability, and our contract manufacturers’ ability, to timely procure electronic components.
Affected by the 2009 global recession and the recent tsunami and nuclear crises in Japan, many of our raw material vendors have reduced capacities, closed production lines and, in some cases, even discontinued their operations. As a result, there is a global shortage of certain electronic components, which has extended our production lead-time and our production costs. For example, in some cases, finished goods that used to be available in 12 weeks for a production purchase order are now available only after 22 weeks. Also, some materials are no longer available to support some of our products, thereby requiring us to search for cross materials or, even worse, redesign some of our products to support currently-available materials. Such redesign efforts may require certain regulatory and safety agency re-submittals, which may cause further production delays. While we have initiated actions that we believe will limit our exposure to such problems, the dynamic business conditions in many of our markets may challenge the solutions that have been put in place, and issues may recur in the future.
In addition, some of our products are manufactured, assembled and tested by third party subcontractors and contract manufacturers located in Asia. While we have had relationships with many of these third parties in the past, we cannot predict how or whether these relationships will continue in the future. In addition, changes in management, financial viability, manufacturing demand or capacity, or other factors, at these third parties could hurt our ability to have our products manufactured.
Our strategic focus on our custom power supply solution competencies and concurrent cost reduction plans may be ineffective or may limit our ability to compete.
As a result of our strategic focus on custom power supply solutions, we will continue to devote significant resources to developing and manufacturing custom power supply solutions for a large number of customers, where each product represents a uniquely tailored solution for a specific customer’s requirements. A failure to meet these customer product requirements or a failure to meet production schedules and/or product quality standards may put us at risk with one or more of these customers. The loss of one or more of our significant custom power supply solution customers could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, business or financial condition.
We have also implemented a series of initiatives designed to increase efficiency and reduce costs. While we believe that these actions will reduce costs, they may not be sufficient to achieve the required operational efficiencies that will enable us to respond more quickly to changes in the market or result in the improvements in our business that we anticipate. In such event, we may be forced to take additional cost-reducing initiatives, which may negatively impact quarterly earnings and profitability as we account for severance and other related costs. In addition, there is the risk that such measures could have long-term adverse effects on our business by reducing our pool of talent, decreasing or slowing improvements in our products or services, making it more difficult for us to respond to customers, limiting our ability to increase production quickly if and when the demand for our solutions increases and limiting our ability to hire and retain key personnel. These circumstances could cause our earnings to be lower than they otherwise might be.
If our new custom products development efforts fail to result in products that meet our customers’ needs, or if our customers fail to accept our new products, our revenues will be adversely affected.
We develop multiple custom product designs. The commercial success of this new technology will depend on a number of factors, including the successful development of the custom products, our ability to meet customer requirements, our ability to meet all product criteria, successful transition from development stage to production stage, our ability to meet product cost targets generating acceptable margins, timely remediation of product performance issues, if any, identified during testing, product performance at customer locations, differentiation of our product from our competitors’ products, and management of customer expectations concerning product capabilities and life cycles. If we fail to accomplish all of the above, our business could be materially and adversely affected.
We are dependent upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key personnel.
Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate our key management personnel, including, but not limited to, our CEO, CFO, marketing & sales, and key engineers, necessary to implement our business plan and to grow our business. Despite the adverse economic conditions at this time, and those occurring over the past several years, competition for certain specific technical and management skill sets is intense. If we are unable to identify and hire the personnel that we need to succeed, or if one or more of our present key employees were to cease to be associated with us, our future results could be adversely affected. Our CEO, Amos Kohn, also currently serves as our CFO on an interim basis until the Company appoints a new CFO. Mr. Kohn will continue to serve in his role as our CEO.
We depend upon a few major customers for a majority of our revenues, and the loss of any of these customers, or the substantial reduction in the quantity of products that they purchase from us, would significantly reduce our revenues and net income.
We currently depend upon a few major original equipment manufacturers ("OEM") and other customers for a significant portion of our revenues. Because of the global economic downturn, we have already experienced a reduction of orders by OEMs and a reduction or cancellation of orders, scaling back of certain activities and workforce layoffs by other customers. The loss of any of these customers, or a substantial reduction in the quantity of products that they purchase from us, would significantly reduce our revenues and net income. Furthermore, diversions in the capital spending of certain of these customers to new network elements have and could continue to lead to their reduced demand for our products, which could, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If the financial condition of one or more of our major customers should deteriorate, or if they have difficulty acquiring investment capital due to any of these or other factors, a substantial decrease in our revenues would likely result.
We are dependent on the electronic equipment industry, and accordingly will be affected by the impact on that industry by the current economic downturn.
Substantially all of our existing customers are in the electronic equipment industry, and they manufacture products that are subject to rapid technological change, obsolescence, and large fluctuations in demand. This industry is further characterized by intense competition and volatility. The OEMs serving this industry are pressured for increased product performance and lower product prices, and their misjudgments of order quantities negatively affects our business by reducing or canceling orders by OEMs. OEMs, in turn, make similar demands on their suppliers, such as us, for increased product performance and lower prices. Recently, certain segments of the electronic industry have experienced a significant softening in product demand. Such lower demand may affect our customers, in which case the demand for our products may decline and our growth could be adversely affected.
Our reliance on subcontract manufacturers to manufacture certain aspects of our products involves risks, including delays in product shipments and reduced control over product quality.
Since we do not own significant manufacturing facilities, we must rely on, and will continue to rely on, a limited number of subcontract manufacturers to manufacture our power supply products. Our reliance upon such subcontract manufacturers involves several risks, including reduced control over manufacturing costs, delivery times, reliability and quality of components, unfavorable currency exchange fluctuations, and continued inflationary pressures on many of the raw materials used in the manufacturing of our power supply products. If we were to encounter a shortage of key manufacturing components from limited sources of supply, or experience manufacturing delays caused by reduced manufacturing capacity, inability of our subcontract manufacturers to procure raw materials, the loss of key assembly subcontractors, difficulties associated with the transition to our new subcontract manufacturers or other factors, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, and delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments, any of which would materially harm our business.
We outsource, and are dependent upon developer partners for, the development of some of our custom design products.
We made an operational decision to outsource some of our custom design products to numerous developer partners. This business structure will remain in place until the custom design volume justifies expanding our in house capabilities. Incomplete product designs that do not fully comply with the customer specifications and requirements might affect our ability to transition to a volume production stage of the custom designed product where the revenue goals are dependent on the high volume of custom product production. Furthermore, we rely on the design partners’ ability to provide high quality prototypes of the designed product for our customer approval as a critical stage to approve production.
We face intense industry competition, price erosion and product obsolescence, which, in turn, could reduce our profitability .
We operate in an industry that is generally characterized by intense competition. We believe that the principal bases of competition in our markets are breadth of product line, quality of products, stability, reliability and reputation of the provider, along with cost. Quantity discounts, price erosion, and rapid product obsolescence due to technological improvements are therefore common in our industry as competitors strive to retain or expand market share. Product obsolescence can lead to increases in un-saleable inventory that may need to be written off and, therefore, could reduce our profitability. Similarly, price erosion can reduce our profitability by decreasing our revenues and our gross margins. In fact, we have seen price erosion over the last several years on most of the products we sell, and we expect additional price erosion in the future.
Our future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand our manufacturers' representative OEM relationships and our other distributors.
We market and sell our products through domestic and international OEM relationships and other distribution channels, such as manufacturers' representatives and distributors. Our future results are dependent on our ability to establish, maintain and expand our relationships with OEMs as well as with manufacturers' representatives and distributors to sell our products. If, however, the third parties with whom we have entered into such OEM and other arrangements should fail to meet their contractual obligations, cease doing, or reduce the amount of their, business with us or otherwise fail to meet their own performance objectives, customer demand for our products could be adversely affected, which would have an adverse effect on our revenues.
We may not be able to procure necessary key components for our products, or we may purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory.
The power supply industry, and the electronics industry as a whole, can be subject to business cycles. During periods of growth and high demand for our products, we may not have adequate supplies of inventory on hand to satisfy our customers' needs. Furthermore, during these periods of growth, our suppliers may also experience high demand and, therefore, may not have adequate levels of the components and other materials that we require to build products so that we can meet our customers' needs. Our inability to secure sufficient components to build products for our customers could negatively impact our sales and operating results. We may choose to mitigate this risk by increasing the levels of inventory for certain key components. Increased inventory levels can increase the potential risk for excess and obsolescence should our forecasts fail to materialize or if there are negative factors impacting our customers’ end markets. If we purchase too much inventory or the wrong inventory, we may have to record additional inventory reserves or write-off the inventory, which could have a material adverse effect on our gross margins and on our results of operations.
We depend on sales of our legacy products for a meaningful portion of our revenues, but these products are mature and their sales will continue to decline.
A relatively large portion of our sales have historically been attributable to our legacy products. We expect that these products may continue to account for a meaningful percentage of our revenues for the foreseeable future. However, these sales are declining. Although we are unable to predict future prices for our legacy products, we expect that prices for these products will continue to be subject to significant downward pressure in certain markets for the reasons described above. Accordingly, our ability to maintain or increase revenues will be dependent on our ability to expand our customer base, to increase unit sales volumes of these products and to successfully, develop, introduce and sell new products such as custom design and value added products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to expand our customer base, increase unit sales volumes of existing products or develop, introduce and/or sell new products.
Our operating results may vary from quarter to quarter.
Our operating results have in the past been subject to quarter-to-quarter fluctuations, and we expect that these fluctuations will continue, and may increase in magnitude, in future periods. Demand for our products is driven by many factors, including the availability of funding for our products in customers’ capital budgets. There is a trend for some of our customers to place large orders near the end of a quarter or fiscal year, in part to spend remaining available capital budget funds. Seasonal fluctuations in customer demand for our products driven by budgetary and other concerns can create corresponding fluctuations in period-to-period revenues, and we therefore cannot assure you that our results in one period are necessarily indicative of our revenues in any future period. In addition, the number and timing of large individual sales and the ability to obtain acceptances of those sales, where applicable, have been difficult for us to predict, and large individual sales have, in some cases, occurred in quarters subsequent to those we anticipated, or have not occurred at all. The loss or deferral of one or more significant sales in a quarter could harm our operating results. It is possible that, in some quarters, our operating results will be below the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In such events, or in the event adverse conditions prevail, the market price of our common stock may decline significantly.
Failure of our information technology infrastructure to operate effectively could adversely affect our business.
We depend heavily on information technology infrastructure to achieve our business objectives. If a problem occurs that impairs this infrastructure, the resulting disruption could impede our ability to record or process orders, manufacture and ship in a timely manner, or otherwise carry on business in the normal course. Any such events could cause us to lose customers or revenue and could require us to incur significant expense to remediate.
We are subject to certain governmental regulatory restrictions relating to our international sales.
Some of our products are subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulation ("ITAR") rules, which are interpreted, enforced and administered by the U.S. Department of State. These regulations implement the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act, the goal of which is to safeguard U.S. national security and further U.S. foreign policy objectives. ITAR controls not only the export, import and trade of certain products specifically designed, modified, configured or adapted for military systems, but also the export of related technical data and defense services as well as foreign production. Any delays in obtaining the required export, import or trade licenses for products subject to ITAR rules could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. In addition, changes in United States export and import laws that require us to obtain additional export and import licenses or delays in obtaining export or import licenses currently being sought could cause significant shipment delays and, if such delays are too great, could result in the cancellation of orders. Any future restrictions or charges imposed by the United States or any other country on our international sales or foreign subsidiary could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. In addition, from time to time, we have entered into contracts with the Israeli Ministry of Defense which were funded with monies subject to, and we therefore were required to comply with the regulations governing, the U.S. Foreign Military Financing program. Any such future sales would be subject to such regulations.
We depend on international operations for a substantial majority of our components and products.
We purchase a substantial majority of our components from foreign manufacturers and have a substantial majority of our commercial products assembled, packaged, and tested by subcontractors located outside the United States. These activities are subject to the uncertainties associated with international business operations, including trade barriers and other restrictions, changes in trade policies, governmental regulations, currency exchange fluctuations, reduced protection for intellectual property, war and other military activities, terrorism, changes in social, political, or economic conditions, and other disruptions or delays in production or shipments, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
We depend on international sales for a portion of our revenues.
Sales to customers outside of North America accounted for 44.9% of net revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and we expect that international sales will continue to represent a material portion of our total revenues. International sales are subject to the risks of international business operations as described above, as well as generally longer payment cycles, greater difficulty collecting accounts receivable, and currency restrictions.
If our accounting controls and procedures are circumvented or otherwise fail to achieve their intended purposes, our business could be seriously harmed.
We evaluate our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter, and are annually reviewing and evaluating our internal control over financial reporting in order to comply with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules relating to internal control over financial reporting adopted pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or our management does not timely assess the adequacy of such internal control, we may be subject to regulatory sanctions, and our reputation may decline.
The sale of our products is dependent upon our ability to satisfy the proprietary requirements of our customers.
We depend upon a relatively narrow range of products for the majority of our revenue. Our success in marketing our products is dependent upon their continued acceptance by our customers. In some cases, our customers require that our products meet their own proprietary requirements. If we are unable to satisfy such requirements, or forecast and adapt to changes in such requirements, our business could be materially harmed.
The sale of our products is dependent on our ability to respond to rapid technological change, including evolving industry-wide standards, and may be adversely affected by the development, and acceptance by our customers, of new technologies which may compete with, or reduce the demand for, our products.
Rapid technological change, including evolving industry standards, could render our products obsolete. To the extent our customers adopt such new technology in place of our products, the sales of our products may be adversely affected. Such competition may also increase pricing pressure for our products and adversely affect the revenues from such products.
Our limited ability to protect our proprietary information and technology may adversely affect our ability to compete, and our products could infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, resulting in claims against us, the results of which could be costly.
Many of our products consist entirely or partly of proprietary technology owned by us. Although we seek to protect our technology through a combination of copyrights, trade secret laws and contractual obligations, these protections may not be sufficient to prevent the wrongful appropriation of our intellectual property, nor will they prevent our competitors from independently developing technologies that are substantially equivalent or superior to our proprietary technology. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. In order to defend our proprietary rights in the technology utilized in our products from third party infringement, we may be required to institute legal proceedings, which would be costly and would divert our resources from the development of our business. If we are unable to successfully assert and defend our proprietary rights in the technology utilized in our products, our future results could be adversely affected.
Although we attempt to avoid infringing known proprietary rights of third parties in our product development efforts, we may become subject to legal proceedings and claims for alleged infringement from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not meritorious, could result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention and resources, require us to reengineer or cease sales of our products or require us to enter into royalty or license agreements which are not advantageous to us. In addition, parties making claims may be able to obtain an injunction, which could prevent us from selling our products in the United States or abroad.
If we are unable to satisfy our customers’ specific product quality, certification or network requirements, our business could be disrupted and our financial condition could be harmed.
Our customers demand that our products meet stringent quality, performance and reliability standards. We have, from time to time, experienced problems in satisfying such standards. Defects or failures have occurred in the past, and may in the future occur, relating to our product quality, performance and reliability. From time to time, our customers also require us to implement specific changes to our products to allow these products to operate within their specific network configurations. If we are unable to remedy these failures or defects or if we cannot effect such required product modifications, we could experience lost revenues, increased costs, including inventory write-offs, warranty expense and costs associated with customer support, delays in, or cancellations or rescheduling of, orders or shipments and product returns or discounts, any of which would harm our business.
If we ship products that contain defects, the market acceptance of our products and our reputation will be harmed and our customers could seek to recover their damages from us.
Our products are complex, and despite extensive testing, may contain defects or undetected errors or failures that may become apparent only after our products have been shipped to our customers and installed in their network or after product features or new versions are released. Any such defect, error or failure could result in failure of market acceptance of our products or damage to our reputation or relations with our customers, resulting in substantial costs for us and for our customers as well as the cancellation of orders, warranty costs and product returns. In addition, any defects, errors, misuse of our products or other potential problems within or out of our control that may arise from the use of our products could result in financial or other damages to our customers. Our customers could seek to have us pay for these losses. Although we maintain product liability insurance, it may not be adequate.
If Telkoor's share market value will continue to decrease it may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
During the second quarter of 2011, we invested in our major shareholder – Telkoor Telecom Ltd. ( a publicly traded company in Israel) through our wholly own subsidiary, DPL. This strategic investment was classified as an available-for-sale security and was recorded in our financial statements at the market value. Under United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), unrealized losses are reflected as "accumulated other comprehensive loss" in the equity, unless there is deemed to be a permanent decrease in market value. Subsequent to June 30, 2011 the share price of Telkoor has dropped significantly and if their share price remains at this low level, and we do not have an independent valuation or other evidence to prove otherwise, we may conclude that this decrease in the market value is permanent and the loss should be classified from equity to the statement of operations.
Our common stock price is volatile .
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE Amex and is thinly traded. In the past, our trading price has fluctuated widely, depending on many factors that may have little to do with our operations or business prospects. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants may adversely affect our stock price and a shareholder’s percentage of ownership. As of June 30, 2012, we had outstanding exercisable options to purchase an aggregate of 476,013 shares of common stock, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.21 per share.
