NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial statements and do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items which are, in the opinion of management, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 12, 2009, the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2008 have been audited by an independent registered public accounting firm. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or retained earnings.

Note 2 - Description of Business

Note 4 – Line of Credit and Notes Payable

Line of Credit

The Company has a $7.0 million Revolving Line of Credit (“Line of Credit”) under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with its primary financial lender. At June 30, 2009, $0.5 million was outstanding under the Line of Credit, which includes $0.2 million related to outstanding checks that will be funded by the Line of Credit upon clearing the bank. The Line of Credit requires quarterly interest payments based on the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.72% at June 30, 2009), and the interest rate is reset monthly. Borrowings under the Line of Credit are limited to the lesser of $7.0 million or the net balance of 80% of qualified accounts receivable plus 50% of qualified inventory less any outstanding term note balances. Under these limitations, the Company’s total Line of Credit borrowing base was $6.5 million at June 30, 2009. Among other financial covenants, the Line of Credit agreement provides that the Company must maintain a fixed charge ratio of coverage (EBITDA to total fixed charges) of not less than 1.25 to 1.0, determined quarterly. The Line of Credit is collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles.

Notes Payable

The Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement includes two separate term loans, which are also collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment and fixtures and general intangibles. The first term loan is a $2.8 million term loan. The outstanding balance under this term loan was $2.3 million at June 30, 2009 and is due on November 20, 2021, with monthly principal payments of $15,334 plus accrued interest. The interest rate is the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.72% at June 30, 2009) and is reset monthly.

The second term loan under the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement is a $16.3 million term loan. The outstanding balance of this term loan was $13.9 million at June 30, 2009 and is due November 30, 2012, with quarterly payments of approximately $0.4 million plus accrued interest. The interest rate is the prevailing 30-day LIBOR rate plus 1.4% (1.72% at June 30, 2009) and is reset monthly.

The Company’s other note payable of $0.2 million, secured by real estate, is due in monthly payments through 2013. The interest rate is prime minus 0.25% (3.00% at June 30, 2009).

The carrying value of the Company’s borrowings approximates fair value since the interest rate fluctuates periodically based on a floating interest rate.

Note 5 – Derivative Financial Instruments

On November 27, 2007, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to effectively fix the interest rate on the $16.3 million term loan at 5.92%. The notional value of the interest rate swap amortizes quarterly with payments that mirror the $16.3 million term loan. Upon entering into this interest rate swap, the Company designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge by documenting the Company’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge along with methods for assessing the swap’s effectiveness in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The following table presents certain information regarding our interest rate swap.

	Amount of Loss Recognized in OCI on Derivative, Net of Tax						Amount of Loss Recognized in Accumulated OCI, Net of Tax
	Nine Months Ended June 30,						June 30,			September 30,
	2009			2008			2009			2008

Interest rate swap agreement	$	(396,947	)	$	(142,016	)	$	(584,891	)	$	(187,944	)

At June 30, 2009, the entire amount of the interest rate swap was effective. At June 30, 2009, the notional value of the swap was $13.9 million and the fair value of the interest rate swap was approximately $1.0 million, which is reflected in other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”) defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets in active markets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level 2 – Inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable. These inputs are either directly observable in the marketplace or indirectly observable through corroboration with market data for substantially the full contractual term of the asset or liability being measured.

·	Level 3 – Inputs that are not observable for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability being measured. These inputs reflect management’s best estimate of the assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value.

Our interest rate swap is an over-the-counter instrument and is classified in the Level 2 hierarchy as the fair value can be estimated from executed transactions or broker quotes corroborated by other market data. These broker quotes are based on observable market prices at which similar transactions could currently be executed.

Note 6 – Stock Option Plans

Plan Information

The 1998 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to officers, directors, key employees and consultants. The Plan provides that upon any issuance of additional shares of common stock by the Company, other than pursuant to the Plan, the number of shares covered by the Plan will increase to an amount equal to 10% of the then outstanding shares of common stock. Under the Plan, option prices will be set by the Board of Directors and may be greater than, equal to, or less than fair market value on the grant date.

At June 30, 2009, 1,024,656 shares of common stock were reserved for the exercise of stock awards under the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan. Of the shares reserved for exercise of, or lapse of restrictions on, stock awards, 581,628 shares were available for future grants.

Stock Options

Stock options are accounted for in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share Based Payment (“SFAS 123R”). SFAS 123R requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, be recognized in the financial statements based on their grant date fair value. Compensation expense for stock based awards is included in the operating, selling, general and administrative expense section of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

Stock options are valued at the date of the award, which does not precede the approval date, and compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Stock options granted to employees generally become exercisable over a four-year period from the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. Stock options granted to the Board of Directors generally become exercisable on the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the grant.

A summary of the status of the Company's stock options at June 30, 2009 and changes during the nine months then ended is presented below:

	Shares			Wtd. Avg. Ex. Price
Outstanding at September 30, 2008		210,850		$	3.67
Granted		-			-
Exercised		-			-
Canceled or forfeitures		(5,000	)	$	3.00
Outstanding at June 30, 2009		205,850		$	3.69

Exercisable at June 30, 2009		108,350		$	4.25

The Company estimates the fair value of the options granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company estimates the expected term of options granted based on the historical grants and exercises of the Company’s options. The Company estimates the volatility of its common stock at the date of the grant based on both the historical volatility as well as the implied volatility on its common stock, consistent with SFAS 123R and Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB No. 107”). The Company bases the risk-free rate that is used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model on the implied yield in effect at the time of the option grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with equivalent expected term. The Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The Company amortizes the resulting fair value of the options ratably over the vesting period of the awards. The Company uses historical data to estimate the pre-vesting option forfeitures and records share-based expense only for those awards that are expected to vest. A summary of the Company's current estimates for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 are presented below.

	2009
Average expected life (years)		6.25
Average expected volatility factor		30	%
Average risk-free interest rate		3.1	%

Fiscal year 2008 grant		11,828		36,734
Total compensation expense	$	12,593	$	39,031

Restricted Stock

The Company granted restricted stock in March 2009 to its Board of Directors totaling 46,669 shares, which were valued at market value on the date of grant. The shares are being held by the Company for 12 months and will be delivered to the directors at the end of the 12 month holding period. The fair value of these shares upon issuance totaled $70,000 and is included in prepaid assets. The fair value of the restricted stock is being amortized over the 12 month holding period as compensation expense.

Note 7 – Treasury Stock

In 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchased shares of common stock will be held in treasury and used for general corporate purposes including possible use in our employee stock plans or for acquisitions. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, we acquired in the open market 1,800 shares and 162,864 shares, respectively, of our Company’s common stock at an average price of $1.80 per share and $1.72 per share, respectively. Repurchases are made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18, which limits the timing, volume, price and method of stock repurchases. When combined with the treasury shares purchased in prior years, the Company can purchase additional shares that have a combined value of up to $0.7 million under this program.

Special Note on Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “estimates,” “projects,” “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and developments beyond our control or foresight, including changes in the trends of the cable television industry, technological developments, changes in the economic environment generally, the growth or formation of competitors, changes in governmental regulation or taxation, changes in our personnel and other such factors. Our actual results, performance or achievements may differ significantly from the results, performance or achievement expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers should carefully review the risk factors described under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended September 30, 2008 and in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our financial statements and the accompanying notes to the financial statements (“Notes”).

We are a value added reseller for select Cisco (formerly Scientific-Atlanta) and Motorola new products, and we are a distributor for several other manufacturers of cable television (“CATV”) equipment. We also specialize in the sale of surplus new and refurbished previously-owned CATV equipment to CATV operators and other broadband communication companies. It is through our development of these vendor relationships that we have focused our initiative to market our products and services to the larger cable multiple system operators (“MSOs”) and telecommunication companies. These customers provide an array of different communications services as well as compete in their ability to offer subscribers “triple play” transmission services, including data, voice and video.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008

Total Net Sales. Total net sales declined $4.1 million, or 31%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced declines in our new and refurbished equipment sales when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008 due primarily to the overall downturn in the economy and credit market crisis. During the current quarter, our large and small MSO customers continued to delay plant expansions and bandwidth upgrades as part of their efforts to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures. Sales of new equipment decreased $2.2 million, or 27%, to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Net refurbished sales decreased $1.8 million, or 51%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.6 million for the same period last year. Net repair service revenues remained flat at $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Repair revenues remained flat despite the downturn in the economy due to our efforts to promote and expand our repair business.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes (i) the costs of new and refurbished equipment, on a weighted average cost basis, sold during the period, (ii) the equipment costs used in repairs, (iii) the related transportation costs, and (iv) the labor and overhead directly related to these sales. Cost of sales decreased $3.7 million, or 37%, to $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales as a percent of revenue was 67% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to 75% for the same period

last year. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily attributable to the decreased sales of new and refurbished equipment as well as an additional charge of $0.5 million recorded to the inventory obsolescence reserve for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The inventory obsolescence charge of $0.5 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2008 was due to Scientific Atlanta legacy converter boxes that were deemed unsellable.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $0.4 million, or 12%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to the overall decline in net sales partially offset by the absence of the $0.5 million charge to the inventory obsolescence reserve for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit margins increased to 33% from 25% due primarily to sales of higher margin products and higher margin headend repairs as well as the absence of the $0.5 million inventory obsolescence reserve charge during 2009.

Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses include all personnel costs, which include fringe benefits, insurance and business taxes, as well as occupancy, communication and professional services, among other less significant cost categories. Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in personnel costs, professional services and rent. At June 30, 2009, we have reduced our headcount by approximately 15% as compared to our headcount at June 30, 2008. We expect that these reductions, along with other cost saving measures we have taken, will reduce our expenses on an annualized basis by approximately $1.0 million.

Income from Operations. Income from operations remained flat at $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Interest expense decreased $0.1 million due primarily to lower interest rates on our Line of Credit and $2.8 million term loan for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.4 million, or an effective rate of 37.5%.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008

Net Sales. Net sales decreased by $9.7 million, or 23%, to $32.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $41.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced declines in net new and refurbished equipment sales when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008 due primarily to the overall downturn in the economy and credit market crisis. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, our large and small MSO customers continued to delay plant expansions and bandwidth upgrades as part of their efforts to conserve cash and limit capital expenditures. New equipment sales declined $4.9 million, or 19%, to $20.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $25.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Sales of refurbished products declined $4.7 million, or 40%, to $7.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $12.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. In addition to the overall market factors discussed previously, the decrease in sales of refurbished products also results from a $1.9 million decline in the sales of our digital converter boxes. This decline is primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, which increased the cost of our products for our international customers, and the decline in the Latin American economy. Repair service revenues decreased $0.1 million, or 2%, to $4.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $4.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The repair revenue decline for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to efforts by the small and large MSO customers to conserve cash by limiting the authorization for equipment repairs due to the downturn in the economy, offset by our efforts to promote and expand this line of business.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales includes (i) the costs of new and refurbished equipment, on a weighted average cost basis, sold during the period, (ii) the equipment costs used in repairs, (iii) the related transportation costs, and (iv) the labor and overhead directly related to these sales. Cost of sales decreased $6.9 million, or 24%, to $22.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $29.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 69% for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from 70% for the same period

of fiscal 2008. The decrease in cost of sales was directly attributable to the decreased sales of new and refurbished equipment as well as an additional charge of $0.5 million recorded to the inventory obsolescence reserve for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The inventory obsolescence charge of $0.5 million was due to Scientific Atlanta legacy converter boxes that were deemed unsellable.

Gross Profit. Gross profit decreased $2.8 million, or 22%, to $9.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $12.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit was attributable to the overall decline in net sales partially offset by the absence of the $0.5 million charge to the inventory obsolescence reserve for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Gross profit margins increased to 31% from 30% due primarily to sales of higher margin products and higher margin headend repairs as well as the absence of the $0.5 million additional charge to the inventory obsolescence reserve during 2009.

Operating, Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs (including fringe benefits, insurance and taxes), occupancy, communication and professional services, among other less significant cost categories. Operating, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million to $5.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $6.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in personnel costs of $0.3 million, rent of $0.2 million and professional services of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in the allowance for bad debt of $0.1 million. At June 30, 2009, we have reduced our headcount by approximately 15% as compared to our headcount at June 30, 2008. We expect that these reductions, along with other cost saving measures we have taken during fiscal year 2009, will reduce our expenses on an annualized basis by approximately $1.0 million.

Income from Operations. Income from operations decreased $2.1 million, or 32%, to $4.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 from $6.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $0.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Interest expense was flat primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on our Line of Credit and $2.8 million term loan as a result of lower interest rates for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease was offset by an amendment on November 27, 2007 to our $8.0 million term loan with our primary financial lender to increase the term note to $16.3 million and extend the maturity date to November 30, 2012. The outstanding balance of the $8.0 million term loan prior to the amendment was $4.3 million. The proceeds from this amended term loan of $12.0 million were used to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of our Series B 7% Cumulative Preferred Stock, which were beneficially owned by David E. Chymiak, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Kenneth A. Chymiak, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with the amendment, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with our primary financial lender to effectively fix the interest rate on this term loan at 5.92%.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $1.4 million, or an effective rate of 37.5%, compared to $2.2 million, or an effective rate of 37.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

Recently issued Accounting Standards

In May 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 165, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The purpose of this standard is to provide a consistent framework for determining what accounting principles should be used when preparing United States generally accepted accounting principles financial statements. SFAS No. 162 categorizes accounting pronouncements in a descending order of authority. In the instance of potentially conflicting accounting principles, the standard in the highest category must be used. SFAS No. 162 was effective 60 days after the SEC approved the Public Company Accounting and Oversight Board’s related amendments on September 16, 2008. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to FASB Statement No. 133”, which requires additional disclosures about the objectives of the derivative instruments and hedging activities, the method of accounting for such instruments and related hedged items on our financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement was effective for us beginning January 1, 2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, expands disclosures about fair value measurements and establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of inputs used to measure fair value. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. This statement was effective for us beginning October 1, 2008. We have adopted the new disclosure requirements in our consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Form 10-K for fiscal 2008 includes a summary of the significant accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Some of those significant accounting policies or methods require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported by us. We believe the following items require the most significant judgments and often involve complex estimates.

General

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the carrying value of our inventory and, to a lesser extent, the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory Valuation

Our position in the industry requires us to carry large inventory quantities relative to annual sales, but it also allows us to realize high overall gross profit margins on our sales. We market our products primarily to MSOs and other users of cable television equipment who are seeking products for which manufacturers have discontinued production or cannot ship new equipment on a same-day basis. Carrying these large inventory quantities represents our largest risk.

Our inventory consists of new and used electronic components for the cable television industry. Inventory cost is stated at the lower of cost or market, and our cost is determined using the weighted-average method. At June 30, 2009, we had total inventory of approximately $35.8 million, against which we have a reserve of $2.0 million for excess and obsolete inventory, leaving us a net inventory of $33.8 million.

We are required to make judgments as to future demand requirements from our customers. We regularly review the value of our inventory in detail with consideration given to rapidly changing technology, which can significantly affect future customer demand. For individual inventory items, we may carry inventory quantities that are excessive relative to market potential, or we may not be able to recover our acquisition costs for sales that we do make. In order to address the risks associated with our investment in inventory, we review inventory quantities on hand and reduce the carrying value when the loss of usefulness of an item or other factors, such as obsolete and excess inventories, indicate that cost will not be recovered when an item is sold. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded charges to our reserve for excess and obsolete inventory of $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, and our estimates prove to be inaccurate, we could be required to increase our inventory reserve and our gross margins could be adversely affected.

Inbound freight charges are included in cost of sales. Purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, warehousing costs, internal transfer costs and other inventory expenditures are included in operating expenses, since the amounts involved are not considered material.

Accounts Receivable Valuation

Management judgments and estimates are made in connection with establishing the allowance for returns and doubtful accounts. Specifically, we analyze historical return volumes, the aging of accounts receivable balances, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in our customer payment terms. Significant changes in customer concentration or payment terms, deterioration of customer creditworthiness, or weakening in economic trends could have a significant impact on the collectability of receivables and our operating results. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. At June 30, 2009, accounts receivable, net of allowance for returns and doubtful accounts of approximately $0.3 million, amounted to $3.4 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We finance our operations primarily through internally generated funds and a bank line of credit of $7.0 million. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we generated approximately $4.0 million of cash flow from operations. The cash flow from operations was impacted by a $3.1 million net decrease in our accounts receivable. Our trade receivables decreased from fiscal year end 2009 due primarily to lower revenues, and it is taking longer to collect our outstanding receivables due to the economic conditions, but we have not experienced a significant increase in our bad debt write-offs. Due to the increased collection time and the general economic conditions, we have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts by $69,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

The $7.0 million line of credit will continue to be used to finance our working capital requirements. The lesser of $7.0 million or the total of 80% of the qualified accounts receivable, plus 50% of qualified inventory, less the outstanding balances under the term loans identified in the credit agreement, is available to us under the revolving credit facility. The entire outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility is due on maturity.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we made principal payments totaling $1.4 million primarily on our two term loans under our Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with our primary lender. The $16.3 million term loan is payable over a five year period through November 2012 with quarterly payments of $0.4 million plus accrued interest. In connection with this term loan, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively fix the interest rate on this term loan at 5.92%. The notional value of the interest rate swap amortizes quarterly with payments that mirror the $16.3 million term loan. The $2.8 million term loan requires monthly payments of $15,334 plus accrued interest through November 2021.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we acquired in the open market 162,864 shares of our Company’s common stock at an average price of $1.72 per share. We believe that the recent trading price of our common stock is not fully reflective of the value of the Company’s business and future prospects. Therefore, we believe that the repurchase of common stock in the open market is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $1.0 million of outstanding shares of our common stock from time to time in the open market at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The repurchased shares of common stock will be held in treasury and used for general corporate purposes including possible use in our employee stock plans or for acquisitions. Repurchases are made in compliance with the safe harbor provisions of Rule 10b-18, which limits the timing, volume, price and method of stock repurchases. When combined with the treasury shares purchased in prior years, the Company can purchase additional shares that have a combined value of up to $0.7 million under this program.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure the information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on their

evaluation as of June 30, 2009, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accomplish their objectives and to ensure the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
