Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2006
(All amounts are unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Taitron Components Incorporated ("the Company") were prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals and adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated
financial position and results of operations at and for the periods
presented. Such financial statements do not include all the information or
footnotes necessary for a complete presentation and, accordingly, should
be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, and the notes thereto, which
include significant accounting policies and estimates. The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the full year.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its 60% majority-owned subsidiary, Taitron
Components Mexico SA de CV. All significant intercompany transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is typically recognized upon shipment of merchandise and sales are
recorded net of discounts, rebates, and returns. Reserves for sales
allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical
experience and management's estimates as shipments are made. Sales returns
for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $81,000 and $44,000,
respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005
aggregated $96,000 and $61,000, respectively.
Allowance for Sales Returns and Doubtful Accounts
On a case-by-case basis, the Company accepts returns of products from its
customers, without restocking charges, when they can demonstrate an
acceptable cause for the return. Requests by a distributor to return
products purchased for its own inventory generally are not included under
this policy. The Company will, on a case-by-case basis, accept returns of
products upon payment of a restocking fee, which is generally 15% to 30%
of the net sales price. The Company will not accept returns of any
products that were special-ordered by a customer or that otherwise are not
generally included in inventory. The allowance for sales returns and
doubtful accounts at June 30, 2006 aggregated $70,000.
Inventory
Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded
at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) or
estimated market value. Inventory is presented net of valuation allowances
of $1,024,000 at June 30, 2006.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability
method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective
tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to
Page 5
be realized. The Company has fully reserved against its deferred income
tax assets, as management could not determine that it was more likely than
not such assets would be realized.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share data are based upon the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share data are based
upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the
number of common shares potentially issuable for dilutive securities such
as stock options and warrants. The weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for each of the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2006 and 2005 is set forth in the following table:
Three months ended Six months ended
June 30 June 30
--------------------------- ---------------------------

---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Basic weighted average shares outstanding 5,479,423 5,462,479 5,475,812 5,461,549
Potentially dilutive stock options 439,000 603,000 473,000 603,000
Anti-dilutive stock options due to net
loss in period -- (603,000) -- (603,000)
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 5,918,423 5,462,479 5,948,812 5,461,549
========== ========== ========== ==========
Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the
reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities to prepare these condensed consolidated financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on the
Company's valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for
sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income
taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Stock-Based Compensation
In March 1995, the Company established the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"1995 Plan") that expired in March 2005. The 1995 Plan provided for the
issuance of an aggregate 1,080,000 incentive stock options, nonstatutory
options or stock appreciation rights (SAR's) to directors, officers and
other employees of the Company. Under the 1995 Plan, incentive stock
options were granted at prices equal to at least the fair market value of
the Company's Class A common stock at the date of grant. Nonstatutory
options and stock appreciation rights were granted at prices equal to at
least 85% and 100%, respectively, of the fair market value of the
Company's Class A common stock at the date of grant. Outstanding options
and rights vest in three equal annual installments beginning one year from
the date of grant and are subject to termination provisions as defined in
the 1995 Plan. The 1995 Plan also provided for automatic grants of
nonstatutory options to purchase 5,000 shares of Class A common stock to
all members of the committee administering the 1995 Plan, upon their
initial election to the committee and each year thereafter. The exercise
prices of these options are equal to the fair market value of the
Company's Class A common stock at the date of grant. The fair value of
options is the estimated present value at grant date using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions used for 2005: dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of
35%; a risk free interest rate of approximately 5% and an expected holding
period of five years.
In June 2006, the Company's shareholders approved the 2005 Stock Incentive
Plan (the "2005 Plan"), which authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000
shares pursuant to options or awards granted under the plan. No shares
have yet been granted under the 2005 Plan, while it's pending approval by
state regulators.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised
2004), "Share-Based Payment" (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires that the
Company account for all stock-based compensation using a fair-value method
and recognize the fair value of each award as an expense over the service
period. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and earlier years, the
Company accounted for employee stock-based compensation
Page 6
using the intrinsic value method of APB Opinion No. 25 and followed the
disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS 148.
The Company elected to adopt SFAS 123R using the "modified prospective
application." Under that method, compensation expense includes the fair
value of new awards, modified awards and any unvested awards outstanding
at January 1, 2006. However, the consolidated financial statements for
periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R have not been restated to
reflect the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation,
but rather disclosed the cost in accordance with APB 25.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per
share as if compensation expense for all awards of stock-based employee
compensation had been determined under the fair value-based method
prescribed by SFAS 123 for periods prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R:

Net loss, pro forma $(2,000) $ (125,000)
Diluted loss, as reported -- $ (0.03)

Stock option activity during the periods indicated is as follows:

Exercised (16,666) $ 1.41
-------
Balance at June 30, 2006 (Unaudited) 509,500 $ 1.80
=======
The weighted average fair value of options granted in the three months and
six months periods ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0, as there were no
options granted during these periods.
At June 30, 2006, the range of individual weighted average exercise prices
was $1.29 to $2.17. The remaining contractual life of outstanding options
is 90 days after termination of employment of option holder.
At June 30, 2006, the approximate number of options exercisable was
466,000 and the weighted average exercise prices of those exercisable
options were $1.80.
Note 3 - Commitments and Contingencies
Effective July 1, 2006, the European Union ("EU") began restricting the
distribution of products within the EU containing certain substances,
including lead. At the present time, much of the Company's inventory
contains substances prohibited by the RoHS directive and management
believes it is likely that the Company will not be able to distribute
non-RoHS compliant products to most customers who intend to sell their
finished goods in the EU after the effective date. Upon effectiveness of
the RoHS legislation, some of the Company's inventory may become obsolete
and unsaleable and, as a result, have to be written off. However, we
believe the demand from our customers requiring only the RoHS compliant
products has already been experienced during the periods leading up to the
directive's restriction date.
On July 10 2006, we entered into commitments for purchasing approximately
4,500 square feet of office space in Shanghai, China for $1,230,000. The
investment will be used as rental property for lease to others and for our
project design and engineering center.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in
Item 1 of this report as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 2005. Also, several of the matters discussed in
this document contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements usually are denoted by words or
phrases such as "believes," "expects," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates,"
"will likely result" or similar expressions. We wish to caution readers that all
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and not to place undue
reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made,
and to advise readers that actual results could vary due to a variety of risks
and uncertainties. Factors associated with the forward looking statements that
could cause the forward looking statements to be inaccurate and could otherwise
impact our future results are set forth in detail in our most recent annual
report on Form 10-KSB. In addition to the other information contained in this
document, readers should carefully consider the information contained in our
most recent annual report on Form 10-KSB under the heading "Cautionary
Statements and Risk Factors."

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use Of Estimates - Management has made a number of estimates and
assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare its condensed
consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant
impact on the Company's valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance
for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income
taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the
merchandise, which is when legal transfer of title occurs. Reserves for sales
allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical experience
and our estimates of future returns. Sales returns for the quarters ended June
30, 2006 and 2005 were $81,000 and $44,000, respectively, and for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 aggregated $96,000 and $61,000, respectively. The
allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at June 30, 2006 aggregated
$70,000.
Inventory - Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale,
is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out
method) or estimated market value. We had inventory balances in the amount of
$16,099,000 at June 30, 2006, which is presented net of valuation allowances of
$1,024,000. We evaluate inventories to identify excess, high-cost, slow-moving
or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins.
Due to the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing and
maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding
adjustments to the cost of inventories. Based on our assumptions about future
demand and market conditions, inventories are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated market value. If our assumptions about future demand change, or market
conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of
inventories may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from
those estimated.
Impact of Governmental Regulation - Our worldwide operations are subject
to local laws and regulations. As such, of particular interest is the European
Union ("EU") directive relating to the Restriction of Certain Hazardous
Substance ("RoHS"). Effective July 1, 2006, this directive restricts the
distribution of products within the EU containing certain substances, including
lead. While the enabling legislation of a number of EU member countries has not
yet been adopted, we believe it is likely that we will not be able to distribute
non-RoHS compliant products to most customers who intend to sell their finished
goods in the EU after the effective date. At the present time, much of our
inventory contains substances prohibited by the RoHS directive. Further, many of
our suppliers are not yet supplying RoHS compliant products. Upon effectiveness
of the RoHS legislation, some of our inventory may become obsolete and
unsaleable and, as a result, have to be written off. While we are working
closely with our customers and suppliers to minimize this impact, at this time,
it is difficult to quantify the financial impact, if any, of
Page 8
such obsolete inventory. However, we believe the demand from our customers
requiring only the RoHS compliant products has already been experienced during
the periods leading up to the directive's restriction date.
Deferred Taxes - We review the nature of each component of our deferred
income taxes for reasonableness. If determined that it is more likely than not
that we will not realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the
future, we record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, which
allowance will be charged to income tax expense in the period of such
determination. We also consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax
liabilities, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in assessing the
realizability of deferred tax assets. We also consider the weight of both
positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is
needed. Based upon recent operating results and the difficulty of estimating
future market conditions, we have fully reserved against our net deferred tax
assets.
Selected Recent Accounting Policies
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of
Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140 ("SFAS 156") which
amends FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, with respect to the
accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities.
This statement clarifies when servicing rights should be separately accounted
for, requires companies to account for separately recognized servicing rights
initially at fair value, and gives companies the option of subsequently
accounting for those servicing rights at either fair value or under the
amortization method. SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
September 15, 2006. We do not believe that adoption of SFAS 156 will have a
material impact on our financial statements.
Overview
We are a national distributor of electronic components, primarily focused
on transistors, diodes and other discrete semiconductors, optoelectronic devices
and passive components with a reputation of in-depth inventories and knowledge
of the products we sell. Our customers consist of other electronic distributors,
contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) and original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs).
We believe that demand for discrete semiconductors in the U.S. market
drastically declined since 2000. This declining demand has resulted from the
accelerated trend of moving the production capacity of OEM/CEM customers abroad
and the consolidation of CEM customers domestically. In response, we have been
refocusing our business strategy beyond the traditional role of electronic
components fulfillment to the additional role of engineering and turn-key
services for our existing OEM and CEM customers by outsourcing their product
design and manufacturing work offshore. We formed some strategic business
partnerships with a few customers and are providing them with original design
and manufacturing (ODM) solutions for their multi-year turn-key projects. We are
beginning to see the results from these additional products during 2006.
Our core strategy of electronic components fulfillment, however, consists
of carrying a substantial quantity and variety of products in inventory to meet
the rapid delivery requirements of our customers. This strategy allows us to
fill customer orders immediately from stock on hand. Although we believe better
market conditions may return, we are focused on lowering our inventory balances
and increasing our cash holdings. Our long-term strategy is to rely not only on
our core strategy of component fulfillment service, but also the value-added
engineering and turn-key services. In accordance with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles, we classify inventory as a current asset. However, if all
or a substantial portion of the inventory was required to be immediately
liquidated, the inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other
items included or classified as a current asset, such as cash. We cannot assure
you that demand in the discrete semiconductor market will increase and that
market conditions will improve. Therefore, it is possible that further declines
in our carrying values of inventory may result.
Results of Operations
Second quarter of 2006 versus Second quarter of 2005.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2006 totaled $2,996,000 versus
$2,202,000 in the comparable period for 2005, an increase of 36.1% over the same
period last year. The sales increase was attributed to growth in our ODM
products by $853,000 comparing the second quarter of 2006 over the same period
last year.
Page 9
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2006 was $863,000 versus $586,000
in the comparable period for 2005, and gross margin percentage of net sales was
28.8% in 2006 versus 26.6% in 2005. The increase was primarily attributed to the
impact from our ODM products.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the second
quarter of 2006 totaled $704,000 versus $628,000 in the comparable period for
2005. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 23.5% in the second
quarter of 2006 compared to 28.5% in the second quarter for 2005. The increase
of $76,000 was primarily attributable to personnel related expenses from our
engineering center in China and higher trade commissions to our sales
representatives for ODM products.
Interest income, net of interest expense, was $22,000 for the second
quarter of 2006 versus interest expense, net of interest income, of $5,000 in
the comparable period for 2005. The change is due to earning interest on cash
investments in 2006 after repaying all debt obligations in 2005.
Income tax provision was $0 for the second quarter of 2006 and in the
comparable period for 2005, as we do not expect significant taxable income for
fiscal year 2006.
Net income was $162,000 for the second quarter of 2006 versus a loss of
$8,000 in the comparable period for 2005, an increase of $170,000.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2006 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2005.
Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $4,985,000 versus
$4,044,000 in the comparable period for 2005, an increase of 23.3% over the same
period last year. The sales increase was attributed to growth in our ODM
products by $976,000 comparing the six months ended June 30, 2006 over the same
period last year.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,343,000 versus
$1,087,000 in the comparable period for 2005, and gross margin percentage of net
sales was 26.9% for both periods. The dollar increase was primarily attributed
to the impact from our ODM products.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses in the six months
ended June 30, 2006 totaled $1,340,000 versus $1,246,000 in the comparable
period for 2005. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 26.9% in the
six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to 30.8% in the comparable period for
2005. The increase of $94,000 was primarily attributable to personnel related
expenses from our engineering center in China and higher trade commissions to
our sales representatives for ODM products.
Interest income, net of interest expense, was $37,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 2006 versus interest expense, net of interest income, of $17,000
in the comparable period for 2005. The change is due to earning interest on cash
investments in 2006 after repaying all debt obligations in 2005.
Income tax provision was $4,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006
versus $0 in the comparable period for 2005, as we do not expect significant
taxable income for fiscal year 2006.
Net income was $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 versus net losses
of $137,000 in the comparable period for 2005, an increase of $137,000 resulting
from the reasons discussed above.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R) and such had a $10,000
financial impact to our SG&A for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have satisfied our liquidity requirements principally through cash
generated from operations, short-term commercial loans, subordinated promissory
notes and issuance of equity securities. A summary of our cash flows resulting
from our operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 2006 and 2005 are as follows:
Page 10
Six months ended June 30,
---------------------------
(Dollars in thousands) 2006 2005
----------- -----------
(Unaudited) (Unaudited)
Operating activities ....................... $ 180 $ 662
Investing activities ....................... (31) (23)
Financing activities ....................... 24 (71)
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30,
2006 and 2005 was $180,000 and $662,000, respectively. The decrease was
primarily attributed to the increase of accounts receivable by $813,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2006 versus the increase of $282,000 in the comparable
period for 2005.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006
and 2005 was $31,000 and $23,000, respectively, for capital expenditures.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2006 was $24,000 versus $71,000 used in, during the comparable period in 2005.
The increase was primarily attributed to repayments on notes payable of $73,000
in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Inventory is included in current assets; however, it will take over one
year for the inventory to turn. Hence, inventory would not be as readily
marketable or liquid as other items included in current assets, such as cash.
We believe that funds generated from operations, in addition to existing
cash balances is likely to be sufficient to finance our working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. If these funds are
not sufficient, we may secure new sources of short-term commercial loans,
asset-based lending on accounts receivables or issue debt or equity securities.
As of the date of this Report, we have the commitment for purchasing
approximately 4,500 square feet of office space in Shanghai, China for
$1,230,000. The investment will be used as rental property for lease to others
and for our project design and engineering center. We had no commitments for
other equity or debt financing or other capital expenditures.
