Introduction

The Company continues to deal with the on-going impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of the date of this filing, the majority of our employees continue to have flexible work arrangements spending the majority of their time working from home. We continue to institute distancing of workstations and other safety precautions in all of our facilities globally for those essential employees that are not working remotely. The Company has started a phased re-entry plan bringing more employees back into our facilities on a gradual basis. The Company will continue to adjust our plans based on the facts and circumstances of each jurisdiction in which we operate.


Our first quarter 2021 results reflect increased year over year revenue in two of our three product groups. Revenue at our Radio, baseband and software (“RBS”) product group increased 102.9% year over year as a result of increased software and services sales as well as sales of digital signal processing cards. Revenue in our Test and measurement (“T&M”) product group increased 42.2% on higher Holzworth sales and increased sales from our legacy T&M brands. These increases were offset somewhat by a decline in the RF components (“RFC”) product group which we believe continues to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic as wireless carrier spending on large projects has declined from the same period last year.


Net consolidated revenue increased 20.1% from the prior year period due primarily to higher software and services revenue in our RBS group due to new software and service contracts. Also contributing to the overall revenue increase was an increase in T&M revenue due to a full quarter contribution of Holzworth in fiscal 2021 versus a half of quarter in 2020, as well as increased revenue from our legacy T&M brands. This was offset by lower revenue at our RFC product group as wireless carrier spend on large projects has declined from the prior year which we believe is due to the on-going impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.


We expect borrowings available to us under our Credit Facility, our existing cash balance and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the next twelve months. Our ability to meet our cash requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control, including the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on our business, specifically our RFC product group. Wireless carrier spend on large projects has been reduced which we believe is a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and this has negatively impacted the RFC product group revenue. We expect the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to extend to our business into the second quarter of 2021 and possibly the second half of the year.
