WINLAND ELECTRONICS, INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed unaudited financial information has been prepared by Winland
Electronics, Inc. (the Company) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for the preparation of interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Accordingly, it does not include all of the information and notes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered
necessary for a fair representation have been included. Financial results for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2006.
The condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from the audited financial
statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
This financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
2005.
Note 2. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are
computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period, including potentially dilutive shares such as options and warrants to purchase
shares of common stock at various amounts per share. The dilutive effect of the additional shares
for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was to increase weighted-average shares
outstanding by 66,921 and 170,954, respectively. The dilutive effect of the additional shares for
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was to increase weighted-average shares
outstanding by 96,285 and 155,511, respectively.
Note 3. Financing Arrangement
The Company has a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit agreement with M&I Bank of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, expiring June 29, 2007, if not renewed. Advances are due on demand, secured by
substantially all assets of the Company, and are subject to a defined borrowing base equal to 80%
of qualified accounts receivable and 50% of qualified inventory. Interest on advances accrues at
the LIBOR rate plus two and one-half percent (2.5%), which was 7.82% as of September 30, 2006.
Advances outstanding on the revolving line of credit agreement as of September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005 were $1,526,000 and $0, respectively.
On June 28, 2006, the Company entered into a Master Lease of Personal Property with M&I
Equipment Finance Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Under the lease, the Company will be able to
acquire new capital equipment to be used in the Companys manufacturing processes in an amount of
up to $1,200,000. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had drawn funds under this lease agreement
totaling $957,317.

Note 5. Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs
Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs: The Company has a warranty reserve for rework, product
warranties and customer refunds. We provide a limited warranty to our OEM customers that requires
us to repair or replace product that is defective, due to Company workmanship issues, at no cost to
the
7
customer. In addition, we provide a limited warranty for our proprietary products for a period
of one year, which requires us to repair or replace defective product at no cost to the customer or
refund the purchase price. Reserves are established based on historical experience and analysis
for specific known and potential warranty issues. The reserve which reflects historical experience
and potential warranty issues is determined based on a percentage of sales for the prior six-month
period. Any specific known warranty issues are reserved for individually. The total of these is
analyzed to determine the probability and the Companys financial exposure, and the reserve is
established. The product warranty liability reflects managements best estimate of probable
liability under our product warranties and may differ from actual results.
During the second quarter of 2006, the Company identified interference issues with some
installations of its EnviroAlert EA200 and EA400 that could affect temperature and humidity
readings and cause some units in the most extreme cases to lock up and become nonfunctional. The
problem is highly unusual but can occur in installations where there are high levels of radio
frequency (RF) interference or high stray transient voltage present. The Company has modified the
product circuit board to enhance the rejection of this type of interference and enable the product
to exceed the normal United States standards as well as the more stringent CE European rejection
standards. On May 26, 2006, the Company announced a product enhancement program to replace
existing new product inventory held by distributors or dealers with units including the updated
circuit board and provide updated circuit boards to dealers at no cost until September 30, 2006 as
well as an incentive to dealers to install the updated circuit board in products in the field. The
costs, associated with replacing the units, circuit boards and incentives, to the Companys
distributors and dealers, are estimated at approximately $415,000. The Company has also authorized
distributors and dealers to return all potential nonfunctional EA200 and EA400 products they have
in their inventory. The Company established an initial reserve of $415,000 for these items during
the second quarter of 2006. During the third quarter, the Company revised its reserve estimate to
$238,000 based on actual costs realized to date and the estimated remaining return rate from
dealers and distributors. The effect of this reduction was to decrease cost of goods sold for the
third quarter by $177,000. As of September 30, 2006, the reserve balance specifically related to
EA200 and EA400 products was $149,832.
Changes in the Companys warranty liability during the three and nine month periods, are
approximately as follows:

Note 6. Warrants and Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Warrants: On February 1, 2005, the Company granted to Hayden Communications, Inc. warrants to
purchase 20,000 shares of common stock that vested to the extent of 10,000 shares on August 1, 2005
and 10,000 shares on February 1, 2006. The term of each 10,000 share increment will extend three
years from the date of vesting. On September 30, 2006, warrants to purchase 20,000 share of common
stock were exercisable and outstanding. The exercise price of such outstanding warrants is $3.96
per share.
The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model and were amortized as investor
relations expense over the term of the service agreement. Investor relations expense from the
amortization of warrants was $0 and $9,369 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
respectively. Investor relations expense from the amortization of warrants was $3,123 and $27,957
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 respectively. In addition, the total
estimated fair value of the outstanding warrants, $37,477, is reflected in the stockholders equity
section at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
On February 16, 2006, the Company granted to Board Assets, Inc., a strategic planning consultant,
warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.01 per share. The
Company scheduled two board strategy meetings with Board Assets, Inc., one in July 2006 and the
other in January 2007. Upon completion of the performance of Board Assets, Inc as facilitator for
each of those meetings, 2,500 shares vest. Warrants expire on February 16, 2016, if not exercised.
During the three months ended September 30, 2006, the first 2,500 shares vested at a fair value of
$3.26 amounting to $8,142 of expense booked to consulting expenses for the period.
On September 9, 2006, the Company granted to Steven P. Friswold and Bruce H. Senske, principals of
Genoa Business Advisors, LLC (Genoa), warrants for each to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock
at an exercise price of $3.40 per share. The Company and Genoa have developed two strategic
business initiatives for which Genoa must execute in order for the warrants to vest. These
warrants shall vest and become exercisable to the extent of 5,000 shares each upon completion of
Initiative I by Genoa and 5,000 shares each upon completion of Initiative 2 by Genoa. The warrants
terminate on September 6, 2011, if not exercised.
Stock option and employee stock purchase plans: As of September 30, 2006, the Company had one
equity-based compensation plan, the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, from which stock-based compensation
awards can be granted to eligible employees, officers or directors. Previous to this plan, the
1997 Stock Option Plan was in effect. The plans are as follows:
2005 Equity Incentive Plan This plan provides awards in the form of incentive stock options,
nonqualified stock options, and restricted stock. Currently, this is the only plan under which
awards are authorized for grant. As approved by the shareholders in May 2005, the plan authorized
issuance of up to 400,000 shares. Awards issued under the plan to date include 42,000 shares of
incentive stock options and 44,000 nonqualified stock options all 86,000 of which are outstanding
and 44,000 of which are vested at September 30, 2006.
1997 Stock Option Plan This plan provided for grants in both the form of incentive stock options
and nonqualified stock options. The plan was terminated as to future grants in May 2005. At
September 30, 2006 there were 187,540 options outstanding of which 135,890 are vested.
1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) has provided employees
of the Company the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The purchase
price is set at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning of the
9
participation period or 85% of the fair market value on the purchase date. The participation
periods have a 6-month duration beginning in January and July of each year. A total of 100,000
shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the ESPP since its inception of which
74,870 have been issued and 25,130 remain available for grant. The ESPP expires December 31, 2007.
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its equity-based compensation plans under the
recognition and measurement provision of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations, as permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123). The Company did not
recognize the value of stock-based compensation issued to employees and directors in its Statements
of Income prior to January 1, 2006, as all options granted under its equity-based compensation
plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
the grant. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under this transition method,
compensation cost recognized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes
compensation costs for all share-based payments granted prior to January 1, 2006, but not yet
vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the
original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted
subsequent to December 31, 2005 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS 123R. Prior periods have not been restated to reflect the impact of adopting
the new standard.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based
awards with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods.

The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations used in the
model. Expected volatility is based on daily historical fluctuations of the Companys common stock
using the closing market value for the number of days of the expected term immediately preceding
the grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the
time of the grant for a bond with a similar term.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006, our net income for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006 was $10,319 and $107,514 lower than if we had continued to account for
stock-based compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants.
We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises and disqualifying stock dispositions
during the period the options are exercised or the stock is sold, generally for the excess of the
price at which the options are sold over the exercise prices of the options. Prior to adoption of
SFAS 123R, we reported all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating
cash flows in our Statements of Cash Flows. In accordance with SFAS 123R, we will revise our
Statements of Cash Flows presentation to report any tax benefit from the exercise of stock options
as financing cash flows. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, there were no
exercises which triggered tax benefits, therefore net cash provided by financing activities was
unchanged as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R.
10
Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0 and $28,522 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended, 30,847 options were
exercised in a stock swap, using previously owned shares of the Companys common stock as payment
for the shares.
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had
applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R to options granted under the Companys
stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. For purposes of this pro forma
disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and
amortized to expense over the options vesting periods.

Note 7. New Accounting Standards
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB issued Statement No. 151 (SFAS No. 151),
Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing,
to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs,
and wasted material (spoilage). Paragraph 5 of ARB 43, Chapter 4, previously stated that . . .
under some
11
circumstances, items such as idle facility expense, excessive spoilage, double freight, and
re-handling costs may be so abnormal as to require treatment as current period charges . . . .
SFAS No. 151 requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be
based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The adoption of this statement had no
impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB issued Statement No. 154 (SFAS No. 154),
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This new standard replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, and FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements.
Among other changes, Statement 154 requires retrospective application of a voluntary change in
accounting principle with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting
principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also requires accounting for a change
in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived non-financial asset as a change in estimate
(prospectively) affected by a change in accounting principle. Further, the Statement requires that
correction of errors in previously issued financial statements be termed a restatement. The
adoption of this statement had no impact on the Companys financial statements for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2006.
In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan
Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in
tax positions. This interpretation provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can
be recognized in financial statements, only if the position is more likely than not of being
sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are
effective as of the beginning of fiscal 2007, with the cumulative effect of the change in
accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting FIN 48 on our financial statements.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Overview
The Company designs and manufactures circuit board assemblies and higher level products that
incorporate them for many OEM customers. The Company is positioned to offer complete solutions to
OEM customer needs by providing value-added services that complement the Companys contract
manufacturing capabilities. The services provided may include product concept studies, product
design, printed circuit board design, design for manufacturing, higher level assembly and box
build, and legacy support. These services differentiate the Company from the competition and
increase customer satisfaction, confidence, and loyalty. The Company views EMS customers as
strategic partners and works to provide these partners with high level customer care and
technical services.
The Company also markets proprietary products which include an established family of environmental
security products that can monitor critical environments. The Companys security/industrial
products include simple and sophisticated microprocessor and mechanically controlled sensors and
alarms. These products monitor and detect critical environmental changes, such as changes in
temperature or humidity, water leakage and power failures. The Companys ALERT series of
products may be connected to many burglar or fire alarm panels to monitor and report unfavorable
environmental conditions.
Executive Summary
The Company reported its second strongest revenue quarter reporting $9.6 million in sales on the
heels of its record $10.7 million reported last quarter. The $9.6 million represents an increase
of 29.5% compared to $7.4 million reported for the same period last year. The Company introduced
26 new products to manufacturing which put pressure on operating efficiencies causing gross profits
to decline. The Company also experienced lower gross profits based on price contracts with Select
Comfort which were awarded during the first quarter of 2006. Even with these pressures, the
Company was able to report $1.8 million gross profit or 18.3% of net sales for the third quarter of
2006 compared to the $1.7 million or 23.0% reported during the third quarter of 2005. The Company
continued leveraging its business model realizing a decrease in total operating expenses as a
percent of net sales. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were
$1,127,170 or 11.8% of net sales compared to $965,872 or 13.0% for the same period last year.
Operating income as a percent of net sales decreased to 6.6% or $631,262 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 compared to 9.9% or $733,401 reported for the same period last year. Net income
as a percent of net sales decreased to 4.0% or $385,456, $0.11 per basic and fully diluted share
for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 5.9% or $436,832, $0.12 per basic and fully
diluted share for the same period last year. The Company utilized 3.7 and 3.6 million diluted
shares in its calculations of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively.
The balance sheet remained strong, with stockholders equity increasing 12.6% to $10.2 million as
of September 30, 2006, from $9.08 million on December 31, 2005. The Company completed the quarter
with a current ratio of 2.05 to 1 and working capital of $6,601,049.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 vs.
Three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005
Net Sales: The Company recorded net sales of $9,586,152 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, an increase of $2,186,267 or 29.5%, from $7,399,885 for the same period in
2005. The gross sales for original equipment manufacture (OEM) customers increased 31.3% while
sales of Winland proprietary products, primarily for the security/industrial markets, increased
20.2%.
The Company recorded net sales of $28,394,584 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an
increase of $6,851,943 or 31.8%, from $21,542,640 for the same period in 2005. The gross sales for
13
original equipment manufacture (OEM) customers increased 34.6% while sales of Winland proprietary
products, primarily for the security/industrial markets, increased 14.8%.
As of September 30, 2006, the Companys OEM customers have given the Company purchase orders having
an aggregate value of $13.2 million for delivery during the remainder of 2006 and into 2007. The
Company expects to receive additional orders from current OEM customers for future production.
Although the Company has purchase orders in place for many of its OEM customers scheduled to be
fulfilled in 2006 and beyond, these customers may terminate the orders or their relationship with
the Company at any time pursuant to certain cancellation provisions.
Cost of Sales: Cost of sales was $7,827,720 or 81.7% of net sales for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, compared to $5,700,613 or 77.0% of net sales for the same period in 2005.
Cost of sales for nine months ended September 30, 2006 were $23,373,382 or 82.3% of net sales
compared to $16,265,235 or 75.5% of net sales for the same period in 2005. The Company includes
material and supplies, direct labor, miscellaneous manufacturing expenses and engineering project
expenses in its computation of cost of sales. Other manufacturing expenses, some of which are
included in overhead, include, but are not limited to, indirect manufacturing labor and related
benefits and expenses, depreciation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment and software,
freight expense, purchasing expenses, warehousing expenses, warranty expense, inventory scrap and
write-offs, an allocation for facility and information technology usage and product liability
insurance. Costs that are capitalized in work in process and finished goods inventory include all
of the above, except certain expenses such as warranty expense, inventory scrap and write-offs and
some freight.
Gross Profits: Gross profit can fluctuate from period to period due to a variety of
factors, including, but not limited to, sales volume, product mix, and efficiencies in
manufacturing and engineering design services. Gross profit dollars increased 3.5% to $1,758,433 or
18.3% of net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1,699,273 or 23.0%
of net sales for the same period in 2005. Gross profit dollars for the nine months ended September
30, 2006 decreased 4.9% to $5,021,202 or 17.7% of net sales compared to $5,277,406 or 24.5% of net
sales for the same period in 2005. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of sales is
attributable to the new Select Comfort contract, changing customer mix, inefficiencies in
engineering design as well as during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the
introduction of 26 and 85 new or revised products, respectively. Introduction of these products
meant additional production costs, component prep charges, manual component placements and manual
testing; all of which reduced the gross profit percentage for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 gross profit dollars increased
due to the increase in net sales and a decrease in warranty expense of $177,000 resulting from a
decrease in our allowance estimate for the EnviroAlert Product Enhancement as described in Note 5
to our Condensed Financial Statements. Increased gross profit dollars were offset by increases in
indirect salaries and related expenses of $93,712, plant re-layout expenses of $80,347,
depreciation of factory equipment of $53,760, direct salaries and related expenses of $38,826.
Additionally, gross profit dollars were reduced by inefficiencies of an engineering design project
amounting to $206,274. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 the gross profit dollars
decreased due to increases in indirect salaries and related expenses of $238,057, plant re-layout
expenses of $107,168, depreciation of factory equipment of $122,093, direct salaries and related
expenses of $105,604, warranty expense of $238,297, supplies expense of $36,991, equipment repair
and maintenance of $24,309, and small tools expense of $22,509. The monies expensed for plant
re-layout will improve product flow and efficiencies in our manufacturing processes.
Operating Expenses: Operating expenses were $1,127,170 and $3,409,702 or 11.8% and 12.0% of
net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively compared to $965,872
and $2,999,624 or 13.0% and 13.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005. Operating
expenses include: 1) general and administrative expenses such as administrative salaries and
related benefits and expenses, professional and legal fees, investor relations expenses, board of
directors fees, and
14
directors and officers insurance and other general office supplies and expenses; 2) sales and
marketing expenses including salaries and related benefits and expenses for direct outside
salesmen, customer service and the senior vice president of sales and marketing, sales commissions,
trade show expenses, web site development and maintenance, promotional materials, advertising
expense and an allocation for facility and information technology usage; and 3) research and
development expense such as salaries and related benefits and expenses, labor and material
associated with new product development, depreciation and maintenance of research and development
equipment and software, warranty expense associated with engineering projects and an allocation of
facility and information technology usage.
General and administrative expense was $591,828 or 6.2% of net sales and $1,803,331 or 6.4% of net
sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to $432,673 or
5.8% of net sales and $1,390,657 or 6.5% of net sales for the same periods in 2005. The increase in
general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is attributed to
increased professional fees of $89,629, consulting expense of $36,309, and salaries and related
expenses of $33,023 offset in part by declines in legal fees of $21,410 and investor relations of
$15,450. The increase in general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 is attributed to increased professional fees of $151,195, salaries and related expenses of
$125,970, board of directors expense of $60,149 and consulting expenses of $36,309, offset in part
by declines in investor relations of $38,185 and training related expenses of $11,347.
Sales and marketing expense (including project management) was $392,570 or 4.1% of net sales and
$1,196,447 or 4.2% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to
$321,205 or 4.3% of net sales and $997,904 or 4.6% of net sales for the same periods in 2005. The
increase in sales and marketing expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 is attributed
to increased salaries and related expenses of $63,578 and promotional and trade show expense of
$5,038. The increase in sales and marketing expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
is attributed to increased salaries and related expenses of $175,737, promotional and trade show
expenses of $29,685, offset in part by declines in legal fees $10,785 and professional fees of
$10,000.
Research and development expense (including the development of new Company products as well as
design services and support to the OEM customer base) was $142,773 or 1.5% of net sales and
$409,925 or 1.4% of net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to
$211,994 or 2.9% of net sales and $611,062 or 2.8% of net sales for the same periods in 2005. For
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Companys customers had increased
research and development projects. The labor cost for these projects was transferred to
Engineering Cost of Goods Sold and included in total Cost of Sales shown above. The transfer of
COGS was offset with increases salaries and related expenses of $19,215 attributed to the decrease
in research and development expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the
same period last year. The transfer of COGS was offset with increases in salaries and related
expenses of $122,016 and new product development expenses of $117,179 attributed to the decrease in
research and development expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same
period last year.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $41,299 or 0.4% of net sales and $100,677 or 0.4% of
net sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $32,564 or 0.4% of
net sales and $92,537 or 0.4% of net sales for the same periods in 2005. During the first nine
months of 2006, the Company paid down $418,942 of long-term debt.
Net Income: The Company reported net income of $385,456 or $0.11 per basic share and $0.11
per diluted share and $987,277 or $0.28 per basic share and $0.27 per diluted share for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, compared to net income of $436,832 or $0.12
per basic and $0.12 per diluted share and $1,378,185 or $0.39 per basis share and $0.38 per
dilutive share for the same periods in 2005.
15
The Company used a blended federal and state income tax rate which was 35% and 39% for the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The difference in rates used is due to
a change in property apportionment factors for Minnesota and Utah used when estimating state tax
liabilities. The change in property apportionment factors is due to having inventory in the state
of Utah versus in Minnesota for Select Comfort. At September 30, 2006, pre-tax income was
$1,513,577 for 2006 and $2,259,285 for 2005, resulting in income tax expense of $526,300 and
$881,100, respectively.
The Company believes inflation has not significantly affected its results of operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash used in operating activities was $1,475,439 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 due
in large part to increases in inventory and accounts receivable balances. Cash used in investing
activities was used to acquire capital equipment with a book cost of $535,273 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006. Financing activities provided cash in the amount of $1,526,000 by
drawing on existing lines of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. In addition,
issuance of common stock provided $38,473 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. The
dollars provided by financing were used in part, to pay down long term debt of $418,942 for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006.
The current ratio at September 30, 2006 was 2.01 to 1, compared to 2.98 to 1 at December 31, 2005.
Working capital equaled $6,601,049 on September 30, 2006, compared to $5,992,118 on December 31,
2005.
The Company had $1,526,000 outstanding on the revolving line-of-credit agreement at September 30,
2006 and no outstanding balances as of December 31, 2005.
We believe that funds available under a line of credit agreement and anticipated cash flows from
operations will be adequate to fund our cash requirements for the next twelve months.
A summary of our contractual cash obligations as of September 30, 2006, excluding the line of
credit is as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. We cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from those estimates. We
believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and
estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition. In most cases, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products and
out of warranty repairs when the product is delivered to a common carrier for shipment and title
transfers.
With one particular customer, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale of customized products
when the product is delivered to a customer warehouse location within the Company, title is
transferred and risk of loss and ownership passes to the buyer. These sales are subject to written
purchase orders including a fixed schedule for delivery; the date for delivery is reasonable and
consistent with the buyers business purpose. The product cannot be used to fulfill other
customers orders, as this is a unique product for this customer only. We are the sole supplier
source of this product for this customer. Because of the unique nature of this product, the
customer must have stock on hand and ready to ship to their customers and, therefore, has requested
that the transaction be on a bill and hold basis. Since the customer does not have its own
warehouse, they rent warehouse space from the Company by paying a monthly rental charge based on
the number of pallets containing their inventory. The customers credit and payment terms are the
same as all other OEM customers.
Another portion of the Companys business involves the Company shipping product to a primary
customers location where it is held in a separate warehouse. Revenue is recognized when that
customer notifies the Company that the inventory has been removed from the warehouse and title to
the product is transferred.
Revenue recognition occurs for engineering design services as the progress billings are made and at
the conclusion of the project.
Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in net sales, and shipping and
handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of goods sold. For all sales, the
Company uses either a binding purchase order or customer accepted and signed engineering quote as
evidence of the arrangement. The Company does not generally accept returns but does provide a
limited warranty as outlined below under Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs.
Inventory Valuation. Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out
(FIFO) method, or market value. Our industry is characterized by rapid technological change,
short-term customer commitments and rapid changes in demand, as well as other market
considerations. The Company makes provisions for slow moving, estimated excess and obsolete
inventory based on historical experience, an analysis of the existing inventory and specific
identification of obsolete inventory. Managements estimated reserve for slow moving and obsolete
inventories was valued at $198,900 as of September 30, 2006 and $191,900 as of December 31, 2005.
In addition to the above methodology, we have developed procedures that will provide for estimated
excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory reserves based on quarterly reviews for our major
customers and annual reviews for lower volume customers of inventory quantities on hand and on
order in conjunction with the latest forecasts of product demand and production requirements from
these customers. Inventory not specific to a customer is evaluated at least annually.
17
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We evaluate our allowance for uncollectible accounts on a
quarterly basis and review any significant customers with delinquent balances to determine future
collectibility. We base our determinations on legal issues (such as bankruptcy status), past
history, current financial and credit agency reports, and experience. We reserve accounts deemed to
be uncollectible in the quarter in which we make the determination. We maintain additional reserves
based on our historical bad debt experience. We believe these values are estimates and may differ
from actual results. We believe that, based on past history and credit policies, the net accounts
receivable are of good quality. There were no write offs for either the three or nine month
periods ended September 30, 2006 or 2005. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was valued at
$20,000 for both periods ended September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005.
Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs. We have established a warranty reserve for rework,
product warranties and customer refunds. We provide a limited warranty to our OEM customers who
require us to repair or replace product that is defective, due to Company workmanship issues, at no
cost to the customer. In addition, we provide a limited warranty for our proprietary products for
a period of one year, which requires us to repair or replace defective product at no cost to the
customer or refund the purchase price. Reserves are established based on historical experience and
analysis for specific known and potential warranty issues. The reserve reflecting historical
experience and potential warranty issues is determined based on a percentage of sales for the prior
six-month period. Any specific known warranty issues are reserved for individually. The total of
these is analyzed to determine the probability and the Companys financial exposure, and the
reserve is established. The allowance for rework and warranty costs was valued at $302,032 which
includes the allowance of EnviroAlert product enhancement as of September 30, 2006 and $117,300 as
of December 31, 2005. The product warranty liability reflects managements best estimate of
probable liability under our product warranties and may differ from actual results.
Allowance for EnviroAlert Product Enhancement. We have established a warranty reserve for the
return and replacement of the EA200 and EA400 products as described in Note 5 to our Condensed
Financial Statements. The reserve reflects the estimated costs for return of non-functional
products, replacement of currently installed units in the field and to provide incentives to
dealers to carry out the replacements. Going forward, the estimated costs of this program will be
reviewed during the fourth quarter of 2006 and beyond, with adjustments being made during the
period in which they are identified. The Allowance for EnviroAlert Product Enhancement was
$149,832 as of September 30, 2006 and $0 as of December 31, 2005.
Deferred Taxes. At September 30, 2006, the financial statements reflect deferred tax assets of
$259,300 and deferred tax liabilities of $261,900. Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and
liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences
and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for
taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a
valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets
is dependent on future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and
carry-forwards are to be available to reduce taxable income.
Stock Based Compensation. The Company has two equity-based compensation plans from which
stock-based compensation awards can be granted to eligible employees, officers or directors; the
2005 Equity Incentive Plan and the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Effective January 1, 2006,
the Company began accounting for these plans using the fair value recognition provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment
(SFAS123R), using the modified-prospective-transition method. The effect of using SFAS 123R was to
decrease income before taxes and net income by $107,514 for the nine months ended September 30,
2006. We use the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock based
awards. The Company uses historical data
18
to estimate option exercises and employee terminations used in the model. Expected volatility is
based on daily historical fluctuations of the Companys common stock using the closing market value
for the number of days of the expected term immediately preceding the grant. The risk-free
interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a
bond with a similar term.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB and other written and oral
statements made from time to time by the Company do not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. As such, they are considered forward-looking statements that provide current expectations
or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as
anticipate, believe, estimate, expect, intend, may, could, possible, plan,
project, should, will, forecast and similar words or expressions. The Companys
forward-looking statements generally relate to the Companys purchase order levels, building market
share in the EMS market, growth strategies, financial results, product development, sales efforts
and sufficiency of capital. One must carefully consider forward-looking statements and understand
that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be
affected by inaccurate assumptions, including, among others, those discussed below. Consequently,
no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. As
provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the Company wishes to
caution investors that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected
and in the future could affect the Companys actual results of operations and cause such results to
differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements made in this document and
elsewhere by or on behalf of the Company.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenues from a small number of major OEM
customers that are not subject to any long-term contracts with the Company. If any major customers
should for any reason decrease the volume of their business or stop doing business with the
Company, the Companys business would be adversely affected. Some of the Companys customers are
not large well-established companies, and the business of each customer is subject to various risks
such as market acceptance of new products and continuing availability of financing. To the extent
that the Companys customers encounter difficulties or the Company is unable to meet the demands of
its OEM customers, the Companys revenues could be adversely affected.
The Companys ability to increase revenues and profits is dependent upon its ability to retain
valued existing customers and obtain new customers that fit its customer profile. The Company
competes for new customers with numerous independent contract design and manufacturing firms in the
United States and abroad, many of whom have greater financial resources and more established
reputations. The Companys ability to compete successfully in this industry depends, in part, upon
the price at which the Company is willing to manufacture a proposed product and the quality of the
Companys design and manufacturing services. There is no assurance that the Company will be able
to continue to obtain contracts from existing and new customers on financially advantageous terms,
and the failure to do so could prevent the Company from achieving the growth it anticipates.
The Companys ability to execute its initiatives to increase sales and expand market share depends
upon its ability to develop additional value added capabilities and/or proprietary products and
technologies and on the availability of sufficient financing, both equity and debt, to meet fixed
and variable costs associated with such growth. In the current economic environment, banks and
other sources of financing are conservative in their lending and investment policies. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the financing necessary to achieve its goals.
19
The Companys success in providing an improved mix of higher margin products and services depends
on the effectiveness of its new product development and planning efforts as well as the timing of
such and the availability and costs of any competing products or services on the market.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls Procedures.
The Companys Chief Executive Officer, Lorin E. Krueger, and Chief Financial Officer,
Glenn A. Kermes, have reviewed the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of
the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this review, these officers
believe that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
ensuring that information that is required to be disclosed by the Company in reports
that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed and
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) Changes in Internal Control.
During the second quarter, the employment of the Companys Chief Financial Officer
was terminated and the Companys Controller assumed the duties of the Chief
Financial Officer thereby eliminating a review of a second individual from the
preparation of the financial statements during the current reporting period. This
elimination of a second review may be deemed a change in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting during the period that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.
