Overview
The Company is a Delaware corporation, which was organized on November 16, 1993, and commenced
operations when it became the successor to all of the assets and liabilities of SigmaTron L.P., an
Illinois limited partnership, through a reorganization on February 8, 1994.
The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic
manufacturing services (EMS), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely
assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled
products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual
assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing
and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment services; and (5) assistance in
obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides
these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United
States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.
The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the assembly of
individual components to the assembly and testing of box-build electronic products. The Company
has the ability to produce assemblies requiring mechanical as well as electronic capabilities. The
products assembled by the Company are then incorporated into finished products sold in various
industries, particularly appliance,
3
consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, life sciences, semiconductor,
telecommunications and automotive.
The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Union City,
California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; and Suzhou-Wujiang, China. The Company maintains materials
sourcing offices in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Union City, California; and Taipei, Taiwan. The
Company also has warehouses in Del Rio, Texas.
The Company experienced pricing pressures from both its customer and vendors and its margins
continued to be reduced in fiscal 2011, specifically in the second half of fiscal 2011. The
Company unfortunately sees this trend continuing for the balance of calendar year 2011.
During fiscal 2011 the Company relocated its California operation from Hayward to Union City
without disruption in support for its customers. The new plant layout has increased productivity
and assisted in attracting interest from many new customers including some in the aviation, defense
and medical markets. The Company will continue to target these markets in fiscal 2012. The
Company has gained new customers at all locations during fiscal 2011 and in most cases has started
production. Most production launches were later than expected, but show promise and the Company
believes they will assist with increasing revenues and profits in fiscal 2012.
Products and Services
The Company provides a broad range of manufacturing related outsourcing solutions for its
customers on both a turnkey basis (material purchased by the Company) and consignment basis
(material provided by the customer). These solutions incorporate the Companys knowledge and
expertise in the EMS industry to provide its customers with advanced manufacturing technologies and
high quality, responsive and flexible manufacturing services. The Companys EMS solutions provide
services from product inception through the ultimate delivery of a finished good. Such
technologies and services include the following:
Supply Chain Management. The Company is primarily a turnkey manufacturer and directly sources
all, or a substantial portion, of the components necessary for its product assemblies, rather than
receiving the raw materials from its customers on consignment. Turnkey services involve a greater
investment in resources and an increased inventory risk compared to consignment services. Supply
chain management includes the purchasing, management, storage and delivery of raw components
required for the manufacture or assembly of a customers product based upon the customers orders.
The Company procures components from a select group of vendors which meet its standards for timely
delivery, high quality and cost effectiveness, or as directed by its customers. Raw materials used
in the assembly and manufacture of printed circuit boards and electronic assemblies are generally
available from several suppliers, unless restricted by the customer. The Company does not enter
into long-term purchase agreements with the majority of its major or single-source suppliers. The
Company believes short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provide the flexibility needed to
source inventory based on the needs of its customers.
The Company believes that its ability to source and procure competitively priced, quality
components is critical to its ability to effectively compete. In addition to obtaining materials
in North America, the Company uses its international procurement office (IPO) in Taiwan and
agents to source materials from the Far East. The Company believes its IPO allows it to more
effectively manage its relationships with key suppliers in the Far East by permitting it to respond
more quickly to changes in market dynamics, including fluctuations in price, availability and
quality.
Assembly and Manufacturing. The Companys core business is the assembly of printed circuit
board assemblies through the automated and manual insertion of components onto raw printed circuit
boards. The Company offers its assembly services using both pin-through-hole (PTH) and surface
mount (SMT) interconnect technologies at all of its manufacturing locations. SMT is an assembly
process which allows the placement of a higher density of components directly on both sides of a
printed circuit board. The SMT process is an advancement over the mature PTH technology, which
normally permits electronic components to be attached to only one side of a printed circuit board
by inserting the component into holes drilled through the
board. The SMT process allows Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) advanced circuitry,
while at the
4
same time permitting the placement of a greater number of components on a printed
circuit board without having to increase the size of the board. By allowing increasingly complex
circuits to be packaged with the components in closer proximity to each other, SMT greatly enhances
circuit processing speed, and, thus, board and system performance.
The Company performs PTH assembly both manually and with automated component insertion and
soldering equipment. Although SMT is a more sophisticated interconnect technology, the Company
intends to continue providing PTH assembly services for its customers as the Companys customers
continue to require both PTH and SMT capabilities. The Company is also capable of assembling fine
pitch and ball grid array (BGA) components. BGA is used for more complex circuit boards required
to perform at higher speeds.
Manufacturing and Related Services. The Company offers comprehensive production and testing
capabilities across all business units to standardize processes and procedures. Each of its sites
is linked together using the same ERP system and real-time on-line visibility.
The Company is strategically located to support our customers with their New Product
Introduction (NPI), Prototypes to Volume Production. With locations in Elk Grove Village,
Illinois; Union City, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; Del Rio, Texas; Suzhou-Wujiang, China;
and Taipei, Taiwan, the Company is able to support our customers needs with our broad range of
services including design for manufacturability (DFM), design for testability (DFT), printed
circuit board assemblies, test, box-build, and system integration. The Companys ability to
transition manufacturing to a lower cost region without jeopardizing flexibility and service
differentiate it from the competition. Manufacturing certifications include ISO 9001:2008, medical
ISO 13485:2003, Aerospace AS9100B and International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
certifications.
Product Testing. The Company has the ability to perform both in-circuit and functional
testing of its assemblies and finished products. In-circuit testing verifies that the correct
components have been properly inserted and that the electrical circuits are complete. Functional
testing determines if a board or system assembly is performing to customer specifications. The
Company seeks to provide customers with highly sophisticated testing services that are at the
forefront of current test technology.
Warehousing and Distribution. In response to the needs of select customers, the Company has
the ability to provide in-house warehousing, shipping and receiving and customer brokerage services
in Del Rio, Texas for goods manufactured or assembled in Acuna, Mexico. The Company also has the
ability to provide custom-tailored delivery schedules and services to fulfill the just-in-time
inventory needs of its customers.
Markets and Customers
The Companys customers are in the appliance, gaming, industrial electronics, fitness,
medical/life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and consumer electronics industries. As
of April 30, 2011, the Company had approximately 100 active customers ranging from Fortune 500
companies to small, privately held enterprises.

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness, Inc.
accounted for 24.0% and 16.0%, respectively, of the Companys net sales. For the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2010, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness, Inc. accounted for 33.4% and 13.9%,
respectively, of the Companys net sales. Although the Company does not have long term contracts
with these two customers, the Company expects that these customers will continue to account for a
significant percentage of the Companys net sales, although the individual percentages may vary
from period to period.
Sales and Marketing
The Company markets its services through 13 independent manufacturers representative
organizations that together currently employ approximately 38 sales personnel in the United States
and Canada. Independent manufacturers representatives organizations receive variable commissions
based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories. The
members of the Companys senior management are actively involved in sales and marketing efforts,
and the Company has 6 direct sales employees.
Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Companys financial performance. Sales levels can
vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment
versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require
the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a
customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a
profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing
services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have
a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of
components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of
turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Companys
revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful
indicator of the Companys gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the
Companys revenues for each of the fiscal years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010.
6
In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders has caused the Company to experience
significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenue and earnings, and the Company expects such
fluctuations to continue.
Mexico and China Operations
The Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A, a Mexican
corporation, is located in Acuna, Coahuila Mexico, a border town across the Rio Grande River from
Del Rio, Texas, and is 155 miles west of San Antonio. Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. was
incorporated and commenced operation in 1968 and had 859 employees at April 30, 2011. The
Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation, is located in
Tijuana, Baja California Mexico, a border town south of San Diego, California. AbleMex S.A. de
C.V. was incorporated and commenced operations in 2000. The operation had 140 employees at April
30, 2011. The Company believes that one of the key benefits to having operations in Mexico is its
access to cost-effective labor resources while having geographic proximity to the United States.
The Companys wholly-owned foreign enterprise, Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd., is
located in Wujiang, China. Wujiang is located approximately 15 miles south of Suzhou, China and 60
miles west of Shanghai, China. The Company has entered into an agreement with governmental
authorities in the economic development zone of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province, Peoples Republic of
China, pursuant to which the Company became the lessee of a parcel of land of approximately 100
Chinese acres. The term of the land lease is 50 years. The Company built a manufacturing plant,
office space and dormitories on this site during 2004. The manufacturing plant and office space is
approximately 80,000 square feet, which can be expanded if conditions require. SigmaTron China
operates at this site as the Companys wholly-owned foreign enterprise. At April 30, 2011, this
operation had 272 employees.
The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as
necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan procurement
branch. The Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and
New Taiwan dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or
greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the
Company. The impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011 resulted in a
foreign currency loss of approximately $158,000. In fiscal year 2011, the Companys U.S. operations paid
approximately $15,250,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company,
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. and AbleMex S.A. de C.V.,
SigmaTron International Trading Co., its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron
Electronics Co., Ltd. and its procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the
Mexican subsidiaries, Chinese foreign enterprise and Taiwanese procurement branch is the U.S.
dollar. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Competition
The EMS industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change. Furthermore, both large
and small companies compete in the industry, and many have significantly greater financial
resources, more extensive business experience and greater marketing and production capabilities
than the Company. The significant competitive factors in this industry include price, quality,
service, timeliness, reliability, the ability to source raw components, and manufacturing and
technological capabilities. The Company believes it can competitively address all of these
factors.
Consolidation
As a result of consolidation and other transactions involving competitors and other companies
in the Companys markets, the Company occasionally reviews potential transactions relating to its
business, products and technologies. Such transactions could include mergers, acquisitions,
strategic alliances, joint ventures, licensing agreements, co-promotion agreements, financing
arrangements or other types of transactions. In the future, the Company may choose to enter into
these types of or other transactions at any time depending on
7
available sources of financing, and such transactions could have a material impact on the
Companys business, financial condition or operations.
Governmental Regulations
The Companys operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory
requirements relating to, among others, environmental, waste management, labor and health and
safety matters. Management believes that the Companys business is operated in material compliance
with all such regulations. Effective mid-2006, the Companys customers were required to be in
compliance with the European Standard of RoHS directive for all of their products that ship to the
European marketplace. The Company has RoHS-dedicated manufacturing capabilities at all of its
manufacturing operations.
Backlog
The Company relies on customers forecasted orders and purchase orders (firm orders) from its
customers to estimate backlog. Historically customers rescheduled or cancelled firm orders and
consequently there is little or no financial significance between forecasted orders or firm orders.
The Company has eliminated the distinction in its accounting system between the two types of
orders. The Companys backlog of forecasted and firm orders as of April 30, 2011 and 2010 was
approximately $108,300,000 and $99,100,000, respectively. The Company estimates its firm orders at
April 30, 2011 and 2010 to be $64,620,000 and $59,000,000, respectively. The Company anticipates a
significant portion of the backlog at April 30, 2011 will ship in fiscal 2012. Because customers
may cancel or reschedule deliveries, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue.
Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts, forecasts and purchase orders received by
the Company and delivery requirements generally may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog
from period to period.
Employees
The Company employed approximately 1,780 people as of April 30, 2011, including 134 engaged in
engineering or engineering-related services, 1,372 in manufacturing and 274 in administrative and
marketing functions.
The Company has a labor contract with Production Workers Union Local No. 10, AFL-CIO, covering
the Companys workers in Elk Grove Village, Illinois which expires on November 30, 2012. The
Companys Mexican subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico S.A., has a labor contract with
Sindicato De Trabajadores de la Industra Electronica, Similares y Conexos del Estado de Coahuila,
C.T.M. covering the Companys workers in Acuna, Mexico which expires on January 31, 2012. The
Companys subsidiary located in Tijuana Mexico, has a labor contract with Sindicato Mexico Moderno
De Trabajadores De La, Baja California, C.R.O.C. The contract does not have an expiration date.
Since the time the Company commenced operations, it has not experienced any union-related work
stoppages. The Company believes its relations with both unions and its other employees are good.

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business
and the forward-looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Any of the
following risks could materially adversely affect our business, operations, industry or financial
position or our future financial performance. While the Company believes it has identified and
discussed below the key risk factors affecting its business, there may be additional risks and
uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not currently believed to be significant
that may adversely affect its business, operations, industry, financial position and financial
performance in the future.
The Companys ability to secure and maintain sufficient credit arrangements is key to its continued
operations.
There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit
agreements in the future. In the event the business grows rapidly, the uncertain economic climate
continues or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be
necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all in the future.
In January 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
Bank (Wells Fargo), with a credit limit up to $25 million. In August 2010, the Company and Wells
Fargo increased the Companys senior secured credit facility from $25 million to $30 million. On
January 31, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo agreed to extend the term of its credit facility
through September 30, 2013 and
amend a financial covenant. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at
April 30, 2011.
9
As of April 30, 2011, there was a $22,000,000 outstanding balance under the credit
facility and $8,000,000 of unused availability.
Adverse changes in the economy or political conditions could negatively impact the Companys
business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Companys sales and gross margins depend significantly on market demand for its customers
products. The uncertainty in the U.S., and international economic and political environment could
result in a decline in demand for our customers products in any industry. Further, any adverse
changes in tax rates and laws affecting our customers could result in decreasing gross margins.
Any of these factors could negatively impact the Companys business, results of operations and
financial condition.
The Company experiences variable operating results.
The Companys results of operations have varied and may continue to fluctuate significantly
from period to period, including on a quarterly basis. Consequently, results of operations in any
period should not be considered indicative of the results for any future period, and fluctuations
in operating results may also result in fluctuations in the price of the Companys common stock.
The Companys quarterly and annual results may vary significantly depending on numerous
factors, many of which are beyond the Companys control. Some of these factors include:
|
|
|
changes in sales mix to customers |
|
|
|
|
changes in availability and rising component cost |
|
|
|
|
volume of customer orders relative to capacity |
|
|
|
|
market demand and acceptance of our customers products |
|
|
|
|
price erosion within the EMS marketplace |
|
|
|
|

The Companys customer base is concentrated.
Sales to the Companys five largest customers accounted for 62% and 68% of net sales for the
fiscal years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Companys two largest customers
accounted for 24.0% and 16.0% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011 compared to
33.4% and 13.9% of net sales for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010. Significant reduction in
sales to any of the Companys major customers or the loss of a major customer could have a material
impact on the Companys operations. If the Company cannot replace canceled or reduced orders,
sales will decline, which could have a material impact on the results of operations. There can be
no assurance that the Company will retain any or all of its large customers. This risk may be
further complicated by pricing pressures and intense competition prevalent in our industry.
The Company has a significant amount of trade accounts receivable from some of its customers
due to customer concentration. If any of the Companys customers have financial difficulties, the
Company could encounter delays or defaults in the payment of amounts owed. This could have a
significant adverse impact on the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
Most of the Companys customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, which makes it
difficult to schedule production and achieve maximum efficiency at the Companys manufacturing
facilities and to manage inventory levels.
The volume and timing of sales to the Companys customers may vary due to:
|
|
|
customers attempts to manage their inventory |
|
|
|
|
variation in demand for the Companys customers products |
|
|
|
|
design changes, or |
|
|
|
|
acquisitions of or consolidation among customers |
10
Many of the Companys customers do not commit to firm production schedules. The Companys
inability to forecast the level of customer orders with certainty can make it difficult to schedule
production and maximize utilization of manufacturing capacity and manage inventory levels. The
Company could be required to increase or decrease staffing and more closely manage other expenses
in order to meet the anticipated demand of its customers. Orders from the Companys customers
could be cancelled or delivery schedules could be deferred as a result of changes in our customers
demand, adversely affecting the Companys results of operations, and resulting in higher inventory
levels.
The Company and its customers may be unable to keep current with the industrys technological
changes.
The market for the Companys manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing
technology and continuing product development. The future success of the Companys business will
depend in large part upon its customers ability to maintain and enhance their technological
capabilities, develop and market manufacturing services which meet changing customer needs and
successfully anticipate or respond to technological changes in manufacturing processes on a
cost-effective and timely basis.
Our customers have competitive challenges, including rapid technological changes, pricing pressure
and decreasing demand from their customers, which could adversely affect their business and the
Companys.
Factors affecting the industries that utilize our customers products could negatively impact
our customers and the Company. These factors include:
|
|
|
increase competition among our customers and their competitors |
|
|
|
|
the inability of our customers to develop and market their products |
|
|
|
|
recessionary periods in our customers markets |
|
|
|
|
the potential that our customers products become obsolete |
|
|
|
|
our customers inability to react to rapidly changing technology |
Any such factor or a combination of factors could negatively impact our customers need for or
ability to pay for, our products, and the Companys results of operations could be affected.
Customer relationships with start-up companies present more risk.
Customer relationships with start-up companies may present more risk due to the lack of
product history. Slow market acceptance of their products could result in demand fluctuations
causing inventory levels to rise. Further, the current economic environment could make it
difficult for such emerging companies to obtain additional funding. This may result in additional
credit risk including, but not limited to the collection of trade account receivables and payment
for their inventory. If the Company does not have adequate allowances recorded, the results of
operations may be negatively affected. A small portion of the Companys current customer base is
with start-up companies.
The Company faces intense industry competition and downward pricing pressures.
The EMS industry is highly fragmented and characterized by intense competition. Many of the
Companys competitors have greater experience, as well as greater manufacturing, purchasing,
marketing and financial resources than the Company.
Competition from existing or potential new competitors may have a material adverse impact on
the Companys business, financial condition or results of operations. The introduction of lower
priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Companys competitors or
significant pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Companys business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
11
The Company has foreign operations that may pose additional risks.
A substantial part of the Companys manufacturing operations is based in Mexico.
Therefore, the Companys business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related
factors, including the stability of the Mexican economy, the political climate in Mexico and
Mexicos relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the legal authority of the
Company to own and operate its business in Mexico, and the ability to identify, hire, train and
retain qualified personnel and operating management in Mexico.
The Company also has an operation in China. Therefore, the Companys business and results of
operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Chinese
economy, the political climate in China and Chinas relations with the United States, prevailing
worker wages, the legal authority of the Company to own and operate its business in China, and the
ability to identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in China.
The Company obtains many of its materials and components through its IPO in Taipei, Taiwan
and, therefore, the Companys access to these materials and components is dependent on the
continued viability of its Asian suppliers.
The Company may be unable to manage its growth.
The Company may not effectively manage its growth and successfully integrate the management
and operations of its acquisitions. Acquisitions involve significant financial and operating risks
that could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations.
Disclosure and internal controls may not detect all errors or fraud.
The Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer,
do not believe that the Companys disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors
and all fraud. Controls can provide only reasonable assurance that the procedures will meet the
control objectives. Controls are limited in their effectiveness by human error, including faulty
judgments in decision-making. Further, controls can be circumvented by collusion of two or more
people or by management override of controls. Because of the limitations of a cost-effective
control system, error and fraud may occur and not be detected.
There is a risk of fluctuation of various currencies integral to the Companys operations.
The Company purchases some of its material components and funds some of its operations in
foreign currencies. From time to time the currencies fluctuate against the U.S. dollar. Such
fluctuations could have a measurable impact on the Companys results of operations and performance.
The impact of currency fluctuation for the year ended April 30, 2011 resulted in a currency loss
of approximately $158,000. These fluctuations are expected to continue and could become material
and have a negative impact on the Companys results of operations. The Company did not, and is not
expected to, utilize derivatives or hedge foreign currencies to reduce the risk of such
fluctuations.
The availability of raw components or an increase in their price may affect the Companys
operations and profits.
The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Companys
production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a
limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customers specifications may require the Company to
obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such
suppliers could have a material impact on the Companys results of operations. Further, the
Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying
power from suppliers. In fiscal year 2011, the Company experienced an increase in lead times for
various types of components due to industry-wide shortages of electronic components and the
shortage may continue to occur due to increased demand. Increased demands for components and
rising commodity prices have resulted in upward pricing pressure from the Companys supply chain,
which has affected and could continue to affect our results of operations. The Company does not
enter
into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company
believes that
12
short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the
Companys orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.
The Company depends on management and skilled personnel.
The Company depends significantly on its President and other executive officers. The
Companys employees generally are not bound by employment agreements and the Company cannot assure
that it will retain its executive officers or skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any
of these key employees could have a material impact on the Companys business and results of
operations. In addition, despite significant competition, continued growth and expansion of the
Companys EMS business will require that the Company attract, motivate and retain additional
skilled and experienced personnel. The inability to satisfy such requirements could have a
negative impact on the Companys ability to remain competitive in the future.
Favorable labor relations are important to the Company.
The Company currently has labor union contracts with its employees constituting approximately
56% of its workforce. Although the Company believes its labor relations are good, any labor
disruptions, whether union-related or otherwise, could significantly impair the Companys business,
substantially increase the Companys costs or otherwise have a material impact on the Companys
results of operations.
Failure to comply with environmental regulations could subject the Company to liability.
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage,
discharge and disposal of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process. To date, the
cost to the Company of such compliance has not had a material impact on the Companys business,
financial condition or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that violations
will not occur in the future as a result of human error, equipment failure or other causes.
Further, the Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of environmental legislation or
regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or regulations will be
administered or interpreted. Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as more
vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures by the
Company and could have a material impact on the Companys business, financial condition and results
of operations. Any failure by the Company to comply with present or future regulations could
subject it to future liabilities or the suspension of production which could have a material
negative impact on the Companys results of operations.
The price of the Companys stock is volatile.
The price of the Companys common stock historically has experienced significant volatility
due to fluctuations in the Companys revenue and earnings, other factors relating to the Companys
operations, the markets changing expectations for the Companys growth, overall equity market
conditions and other factors unrelated to the Companys operations. In addition, the limited float
of the Companys common stock and the limited number of market makers also affect the volatility of
the Companys common stock. Such fluctuations are expected to continue in the future.
An adverse change in the interest rates for our borrowings could adversely affect our results of
operations.
The Company pays interest on outstanding borrowings under its senior secured credit facility
and certain other long-term debt obligations at interest rates that fluctuate. An adverse change
in the Companys interest rates could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.
Changes in securities laws and regulations may increase costs.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and listing requirements subsequently adopted by Nasdaq in response to
Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in corporate governance practices, internal control policies
and audit committee practices of public companies. More recently the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform
and Consumer Protection Act will require
changes to our corporate governance, compliance practices and securities disclosures. The
Company
13
expects increased costs related to these new regulations, including, but not limited to,
legal, financial and accounting costs. Further the Company anticipates it will be more difficult
and more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These developments may
result in the Company having difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified members of the board
or qualified officers. Further, the costs associated with the compliance with and implementation
of procedures under these laws and related rules could have a material impact on the Companys
results of operations.
Inadequate internal control over financial reporting could result in a reduction in the value of
our common stock.
If the Company identifies and reports a material weakness in its internal control over
financial reporting, shareholders and the Companys lenders could lose confidence in the
reliability of the Companys financial statements. This could have a material adverse impact on
the value of the Companys stock and the Companys liquidity.

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron
International, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex S.A.
de C.V., and SigmaTron International Trading Co., and its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang
SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. (SigmaTron China) and international procurement office SigmaTron
Taiwan (collectively the Company) and other Items in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain
forward-looking statements concerning the Companys business or results of operations. Words such
as continue, anticipate, will, expect, believe, plan, and similar expressions identify
forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations
of the Company. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the
Companys plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be
evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Companys business
including, but not necessarily limited to, the Companys continued dependence on certain
significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the
Company and its customers; pricing pressures from our customers, suppliers and the market; the
activities of competitors, some of which have greater financial or other resources than the
Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets impairment
testing; the variability of our customers requirements; the availability and cost of necessary
components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with
technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance; the continued availability and
sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese or Taiwanese regulations
affecting the Companys business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the
stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and
conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; the expenses and savings from the relocation of our
Hayward, California facility to Union City, California; and the ability of the Company to manage
its growth. These and other factors which may affect the Companys future business and results of
operations are identified throughout the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and as risk factors
and may be detailed from time to time in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. These statements speak as of the
16
date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no
obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise
required by law.
Overview
The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of EMS, which includes
printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In
connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its
customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material
sourcing and procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing
and shipment services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other
regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international
network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China and Taiwan.
The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Companys
production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a
limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customers specifications may require the Company to
obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such
suppliers could have a material impact on the Companys results of operations. Further, the
Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying
power from suppliers. In fiscal year 2011, the Company experienced an increase in lead times for
various types of components due to industry-wide shortages of electronic components and the
shortage may continue to occur due to increased demand. Increased demands for components and
rising commodity prices have resulted in upward pricing pressure from the Companys supply chain,
which has and could continue to affect our results of operations. The Company does not enter into
long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that
short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Companys orders
are based on the needs of its customers, which constantly change.
Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Companys financial performance. Sales levels can
vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment and
turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the
Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer,
and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In
the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the
components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher
dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and
other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders
compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Companys revenue
levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of
the Companys gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Companys
revenues for the year ended April 30, 2011.
In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders have caused the Company to experience
significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings, and the Company expects such
fluctuations to continue. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general and the
United States economy specifically makes forecasting difficult. Short-term customer demands remain
volatile. The Company experienced pricing pressures from both its customer and vendors and its
margins continued to be reduced in fiscal 2011, specifically in the second half of fiscal 2011.
The Company unfortunately sees this trend continuing for the balance of calendar year 2011.
During fiscal 2011 the Company relocated its California operation from Hayward to Union City
without disruption in support for its customers. The new plant layout has increased productivity
and assisted in attracting interest from many new customers including some in the aviation, defense
and medical markets. The Company will continue to target these markets in fiscal 2012. The
Company has gained new customers at all locations during fiscal 2011 and in most cases has started
production. The production launches were later than expected, but show promise and the Company
believes they will assist with increasing revenues and profits in fiscal 2012.

Critical Accounting Policies:
Management Estimates and Uncertainties The preparation of consolidated financial statements
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.
GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements
include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for
inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these
estimates.
Revenue Recognition Revenues from sales of the Companys electronic manufacturing services
business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and
except for consignment inventory, it is the Companys policy to recognize revenue and related costs
when the finished goods have been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that
title passes under the terms of the purchase order. Consignment finished goods inventory is
shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the
customer and stored in a segregated part of the customers own facility. Upon the customers
request for finished goods inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer, if the
inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customers facility
for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or
transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company from
time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities which is also the same point that title
passes under the terms of the purchase order and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar
month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further,
from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced
to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day
warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives,
(although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company
assembles and tests assemblies based on customers specifications. Historically, the amount of
returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Companys standard or extended
warranties.
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by
the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records
expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory
reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records
provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage
or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Companys
inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete
inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value
based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or
market conditions could be different than that projected by management.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable
intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its
carrying amount exceeds the future undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate.
If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair market value.
Income Tax The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes. Our income tax expense, deferred tax assets and
liabilities and reserves for unrecognized tax benefits reflect managements best assessment of
estimated future taxes to be paid. We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous
foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgments and estimates are required in determining the
consolidated income tax expense assessment.
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement
recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets
within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and
negative evidence,
18
including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax
planning strategies and recent financial operations. In projecting future taxable income, the
Company begins with historical results adjusted for the results of discontinue operations and
changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state,
federal and foreign pretax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the
implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require
significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans
and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses. In evaluating the objective
evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating
income and/or loss.
Changes in tax laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities
in the future. Management is not presently aware of any such changes that would have a material
effect on the Companys results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application
of complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across our global operations.
FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position
may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon
examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the
technical merits. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes tax liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 740 and the Company
adjusts these liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new
information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the
ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our current estimate
of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income
tax expense in the period in which they are determined.
New Accounting Standards:
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 for updated revenue recognition guidance under the provisions of ASC
605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. The previous guidance has been retained for criteria to
determine when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangements should be considered separate
units of accounting, however the updated guidance removes the previous separation criterion that
objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered
items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. This guidance was
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance did
not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit
Derivatives to address questions that have been raised in practice about the intended breadth of
the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 815-15-15-9 of ASC
815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amended guidance clarifies that the scope exception applies to
contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative that is only in the form of subordination of
one financial instrument to another. This guidance was effective on August 1, 2010 for the
Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding ASC No. 805, Business
Combinations, on the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.
ASC No. 805 requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations
that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and
earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for
all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual
reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
19
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value
Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS, which results in common fair value
measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Consequently, the amendments change
the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for
disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and
annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will first be applicable to the Companys
fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Net sales increased 23.9% to $151,728,084 in fiscal year 2011 from $122,476,340 in the prior
year. The Companys sales increased in fiscal year 2011 in fitness, gaming, medical/life sciences,
industrial and consumer electronics and semiconductor marketplaces as compared to the prior year.
The increase in sales dollars for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales
dollars in the appliance and telecommunications marketplaces. The increase in net sales for the
fiscal year 2011 is a result of our existing customers increased demand for product and the
addition of some new customer programs ramping up compared to the previous fiscal year.
The Companys sales in a particular industry are driven by the fluctuating forecasts and
end-market demand of the customers within that industry. Sales to customers are subject to
variations from period to period depending on customer order cancellations, the life cycle of
customer products and product transition. Sales to the Companys five largest customers accounted
for 62% and 68% of net sales for fiscal years 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Gross profit increased to $15,787,206 of net sales in fiscal year 2011 compared to $13,757,237
of net sales in the prior year. The increase in the Companys gross profit in total dollars is due
to increased revenue levels, the mix of product shipped to various customers and the continuing
efforts to control operational costs. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased to 10.4% in
fiscal year 2011 compared to 11.2% in the prior fiscal year. The Company has experienced pricing
pressures from both its customer and vendors and its margins continued to be reduced in fiscal
2011, specifically in the second half of fiscal 2011. The Company unfortunately sees this trend
continuing for the balance of calendar year 2011. Gross profit was negatively affected by foreign
currency losses of $157,971 in fiscal year 2011 compared to $276,000 in the prior year. In fiscal
year 2011, the Company incurred relocation expenses of approximately $892,000 which negatively
impacted the gross profit.
Selling and administrative expenses increased in fiscal year 2011 to $11,460,908 compared to
$10,826,880 in fiscal year 2010; however, the percentage of net sales represented by such expenses
decreased to 7.6% of net sales in fiscal year 2011 compared to 8.8% of net sales in the prior
fiscal year. The decrease in selling and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales is
due to the increased sales volume in fiscal
20
year 2011 compared to fiscal year 2010. The dollar increase in specific categories of such
expenses for fiscal year 2011 was approximately $1,150,820 and is primarily due to a restoration of
salary reductions previously implemented in response to the downturn in business. Insurance,
travel and professional fees also increased for fiscal year 2011. These increases in selling and
administrative expenses for fiscal year 2011 were partially offset by a decrease of $516,792 in
amortization expense, bank fees and other selling and administrative expenses, resulting in selling
and administrative expenses increasing by a net amount of $634,028.
In fiscal year 2010, the Company filed an insurance claim due to damage incurred at one of its
buildings. The claim was settled in April 2010 and the Company recorded a gain from this
involuntary conversion of $1,233,830 which was included in other income on the consolidated
statement of income for the year ended April 30, 2010. The insurance proceeds not representing the
reimbursement of expenses were classified as an investing cash flow in the statement of cash flows
for the year ended April 30, 2010. The Company did not record any additional proceeds, gains or
losses related to this settlement.
Interest expense increased to $1,154,352 in fiscal year 2011 compared to $821,263 in fiscal
year 2010. The interest expense increased due to increased borrowings under the Companys banking
agreements, capital lease obligations, deferred financing costs and higher interest rates under the
Companys senior secured credit facility and mortgage. Interest expense for fiscal year 2012 may
increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, increase during fiscal year 2012.
In fiscal year 2011, income tax expense was $1,203,514 compared to $1,120,786 in income tax
expense in fiscal year 2010. The effective tax rate for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010
was 37.8% and 33.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the year ended April
30, 2011 is primarily due to a deemed dividend from one of the Companys foreign entities and an
increase in state income taxes.
The Company reported net income of $1,978,034 in fiscal year 2011 compared to a net income of
$2,244,543 for fiscal year 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.52 and $0.51,
respectively, for fiscal year 2011 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.59 and
$0.58, respectively, for the year ended April 30, 2010.
During the second quarter of the 2011 fiscal year, the Company relocated its Hayward, CA
operation to Union City, CA. The new plant layout has increased productivity and assisted in
attracting interest from many new customers including some in the aviation, defense and medical
markets. The Company will continue to target these markets in fiscal 2012. The Company incurred
relocation expenses as a result of the move. Relocation expenses of $892,391 were recorded as a
component of cost of products sold, which consists primarily of moving expenses related to
equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the Hayward facility.
The related after tax amount was $562,206. Net income adjusted on a non-GAAP basis to exclude
relocation expenses for fiscal year 2011 was $2,540,240. The non-GAAP basic and diluted earnings
per share, as adjusted, for fiscal year 2011 was $0.66 and $0.65, respectively. The Company
believes the relocation expense is a onetime event and the non-GAAP disclosure provides meaningful
information regarding the Companys results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Operating Activities.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $185,067 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011,
compared to cash flow provided by operating activities of $8,061,036 for the prior fiscal year.
Cash flow used in operating activities in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of an increase
in inventories of $7,615,784 due to raw material purchases to support increased demand for specific
customers, increasing inventory levels for other customers delaying shipments and the start up of
new customer programs. Income taxes paid and a decrease in accounts payable also contributed to
fiscal year 2011 cash outflows. Net cash used in operations in fiscal year 2011 was partially
offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization, and a decrease in
accounts receivable. The decrease in accounts receivable of $1,374,307 and accounts payable of
$241,294 was due to timing of receipts and payments in the ordinary course of business.
Cash flow provided by operating activities was $8,061,036 for the year ended April 30, 2010.
Cash flow provided by operating activities in fiscal year 2010 was primarily the result of net
income adjusted for the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in trade
accounts payable of $9,491,228. Trade accounts payable increased due to increased purchases of raw
material. Net cash provided by operations in fiscal year 2010 was partially offset by an increase
in accounts receivable of $8,144,893 due to increased sales volume in the fourth quarter of fiscal
2010 and timing of cash receipts from a significant customer. The Companys inventories increased
by $1,358,301 due to increased demand for product in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010.
Investing Activities.
In fiscal year 2011, the Company purchased approximately $4,900,000 in machinery and equipment
to be used in the ordinary course of business. Of the total purchases, $835,300 of equipment
purchases for fiscal year 2011 is financed under a sale lease back agreement. In addition, there
was approximately $541,500 of equipment financed under a capital lease agreement. The Company
anticipates that it will make additional machinery and equipment purchases in fiscal year 2012 of
approximately $3.9 million.
22
During fiscal year 2010, the Company filed an insurance claim due to damage incurred at one of
its buildings. The claim was settled in April 2010 and the Company recorded a gain from this
involuntary conversion of $1,233,830 which was included in other income on the consolidated
statement of income for the year ended April 30, 2010. These insurance proceeds were classified as
an investing cash flow in the statement of cash flows for the year ended April 30, 2010. The
Company did not record any additional proceeds, gains or losses related to this settlement.
In fiscal year 2010, the Company purchased approximately $3,000,000 in machinery and equipment
for various operating facilities. Approximately $440,000 of the purchases was financed through a
note payable pursuant to a software license agreement.
Financing Activities.
Cash provided by financing activities was $5,190,678 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011,
compared to cash used in financing activities of $6,444,673 in fiscal year 2010. Cash provided by
financing activities in fiscal year 2011 was primarily the result of increased borrowings of
$6,874,942 under the credit facility. The additional working capital was required to support the
increase in inventory. Cash used in financing activities in fiscal year 2010 relates to net
payments made to reduce the balance outstanding under the Companys banking and lease agreements.
Debt.
In January 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo
Bank (Wells Fargo), with a credit limit up to $25 million. The term of the credit facility
initially extended for two years, through January 8, 2012, and allows the Company to choose among
interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half
percent (effectively, 3.75% at April 30, 2011) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent
(effectively, 3.1% at April 30, 2011), which is paid monthly. The LIBOR rate has a floor of .35%.
The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of
the Company and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. In
August 2010, the Company and Wells Fargo increased the Companys senior secured credit facility
from $25 million to $30 million. On January 31, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo agreed to extend
the term of its credit facility through September 30, 2013 and to amend a financial covenant. The
Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2011 and 2010. As of April 30,
2011, there was a $22,000,000 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $8,000,000 of
unused availability.
Through January 2010, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Bank of America under
which the Company could borrow up to the lesser of: (i) $32 million; or (ii) an amount equal to the
sum of 85% of the eligible receivable borrowing base and the lesser of $16 million or 50% of the
eligible inventory borrowing base. The revolving credit facility was due to expire on September
30, 2010.
Prior to January 2010, the Company had a term loan with Bank of America with an outstanding
balance at January 7, 2010 of $1,500,000. The term loan required quarterly principal payments of
$250,000 due each quarter through the quarter ending June 30, 2011 and interest payable monthly
throughout the term of the loan. On January 8, 2010, the Company repaid this debt using proceeds
from the credit facility from Wells Fargo.
The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on January 8, 2010, in the amount of $2,500,000
with Wells Fargo to refinance the property that serves as the Companys corporate headquarters and
its Illinois manufacturing facility. The Company repaid the prior Bank of America mortgage, which
equaled $2,565,413, as of January 8, 2010, using proceeds from the Wells Fargo mortgage and senior
secured credit facility. The Wells Fargo note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.42% per year and
is amortized over a sixty month period. A final payment of approximately $2,000,000 is due on or
before January 8, 2015. The outstanding balance as of April 30, 2011 was $2,375,005.
On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment
Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement
extends to
23
January 18, 2012 with monthly payments of $55,872 and a fixed interest rate of 4.29%. At April 30,
2011, $493,977 was outstanding under the lease agreement and the net book value of the equipment
was $1,658,621.
On August 20, 2010 and October 26, 2010, the Company entered into two capital leasing
transactions (a lease finance agreement and a sale lease back agreement) with Wells Fargo Equipment
Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $1,150,582. The term of the lease finance agreement
of $315,252 extends to September 2016 with monthly payments of $4,973 and a fixed interest rate of
4.28%. The term of the sale lease back agreement of $835,330 extends to August 2016 with monthly
payments of $13,207 and a fixed interest rate of 4.36%. At April 30, 2011, $750,408 and $290,973
was outstanding under the lease finance and sale lease back agreements, respectively. The net book
value at April 30, 2011 for the equipment under the lease finance agreement and sale lease back
agreement was $299,927 and $766,013, respectively.
On November 29, 2010, the Company entered into a capital lease with Wells Fargo Equipment
Finance, Inc., to purchase equipment totaling $226,216. The term of the lease agreement extends to
October 2016 with monthly payments of $3,627 and a fixed interest rate of 4.99%. The net book
value of the equipment under this lease at April 30, 2011 was $216,082. At April 30, 2011, the
balance outstanding under the capital lease agreement was $211,717.
The total amount outstanding at April 30, 2011 for the above four equipment lease transactions
was $1,747,075. The Company has two other capital leases. The total net book value of the
equipment under these leases at April 30, 2011 was $651,726. The outstanding balance at April 30,
2011 and 2010 was $129,368 and $366,781, respectively.
The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as
necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan IPO. The
Company provides funding in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Renminbi, and New Taiwan
Dollars as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater
increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company. The
impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal year ended
April 30, 2011, resulted in a foreign currency
loss of approximately $158,000. In fiscal year 2011, the Companys U.S. operations paid
approximately $15,250,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided. The Company has not
provided U.S. deferred taxes for a significant portion of undistributed earnings of the Companys
subsidiaries, since these earnings have been, and under current plans will continue to be,
permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of
additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution. Should the tax law to repatriate dividends
change, the Company may reconsider its plan.
The Company anticipates its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources
will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next
twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit
agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently
exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates or the
Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current
or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or
debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.
The impact of inflation for the past three fiscal years has been minimal.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
SigmaTron International, Inc.
Elk Grove, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SigmaTron International, Inc. as of
April 30, 2011 and 2010 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders
equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of SigmaTron International, Inc. at April 30, 2011 and
2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SigmaTron International, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 2011 and 2010
NOTE A DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
SigmaTron International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company) operate in one business segment
as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (EMS), which includes printed
circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection
with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers
including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and
procurement; (3) design, manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) warehousing and shipment
services; and (5) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory
bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of
facilities located in North America, China and Taiwan. Approximately 10% of the consolidated
non-current assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as
of April 30, 2011 and 2010.
NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Consolidation Policy
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of the Company, its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A., and AbleMex S.A. de C.V., SigmaTron
International Trading Co., its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co.
Ltd. (SigmaTron China), and its international procurement office, SigmaTron Taiwan. The
functional currency of the Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and procurement branch is the U.S.
dollar. Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. The
impact of currency fluctuation for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a
loss of approximately $158,000 and $276,000, respectively, and are recorded in other income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made
in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods,
the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets.
Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

NOTE B SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid short-term investments maturing within
three months of the purchase date.
Accounts Receivable
The majority of the Companys accounts receivable are due from companies in the consumer
electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, life sciences, semiconductor,
telecommunications, appliance and automotive industries. Credit is extended based on evaluation of
a customers financial condition, and, generally, collateral is not required. Accounts receivable
are due in accordance with agreed upon terms, and are stated at amounts due from customers net of
an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payments
terms are considered past due. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are determined
to be uncollectible.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Companys allowance for doubtful accounts relates to receivables not expected to be collected
from our customers. This allowance is based on managements assessment of specific customer
balances, considering the age of receivables and financial stability of the customer and a five
year average of prior uncollectible amounts. If there is an adverse change in the financial
condition of the Companys customers, or if actual defaults are higher than provided for, an
addition to the allowance may be necessary.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in,
first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state
the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for
valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. Actual results differing from these
estimates could significantly affect the Companys inventories and cost of products sold. The
Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost
of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand
and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that
projected by management.

Property, Machinery and Equipment
Property, machinery and equipment are valued at cost. The Company provides for depreciation and
amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets:
|
|
|
Buildings
|
|
20 years |
Machinery and equipment
|
|
5-12 years |
Office equipment and software
|
|
3-5 years |
Tools and dies
|
|
12 months |
Leasehold improvements
|
|
term of lease |
Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to selling and administrative expenses as
incurred.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain the Companys long-term debt and are
amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt. Deferred financing
fees of $90,302 and $202,562, net of accumulated amortization of $156,808 and $40,511 as of April
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are classified in other long-term assets on the Companys balance
sheet.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and
laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are
established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not
to be realized. See Note H Income Taxes, Page F-21.

Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The
computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per
share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares
that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock
options had been exercised. At April 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 395,190 and 400,190
anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, respectively, which have been excluded from the calculation
of diluted earnings per share.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from sales of the Companys electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when
the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment
inventory, it is the Companys policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished
goods have been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under
the terms of the purchase order. Consignment finished goods inventory is shipped from the Company
to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a
segregated part of the customers own facility. Upon the customers request for finished goods
inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer, if the inventory was stored
off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customers facility for consumption or use
by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does
not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company from time to time may ship
finished goods from its facilities which is also the same point that title passes under the terms
of the purchase order and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only
in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers
request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods
for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and
does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, (although the Company has
negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies
based on customers specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has
been de minimis under the Companys standard or extended warranties.

Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company records shipping and handling costs within selling and administrative expenses.
Customers are typically invoiced for shipping costs. Shipping and handling costs were not material
to the financial statements for fiscal years 2011 or 2010.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments include receivables, debt, accounts payable, and accrued
expenses. The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their
carrying values, due to the short-term nature of receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses
and the market interest rates charged on the Companys long-term debt.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. An asset is considered impaired if its carrying amount exceeds the future
undiscounted net cash flow the asset is expected to generate. If such asset is considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of
the asset exceeds its fair market value.

Stock Incentive Plans
Under the Companys stock option plans, options to acquire shares of common stock have been made
available for grant to certain employees and directors. Each option granted has an exercise price
of not less than 100% of the market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The
contractual life of each option is generally 10 years. The vesting of the grants varies according
to the individual options granted. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in
exchange for an equity award based on the grant date fair value and records that cost over the
respective vesting period of the award.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2010 financial statements to
conform to the 2011 presentation.
New Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards
Update (ASU) No. 2009-13 for updated revenue recognition guidance under the provisions of ASC
605-25, Multiple-Element Arrangements. The previous guidance has been retained for criteria to
determine when delivered items in a multiple-deliverable arrangements should be considered separate
units of accounting, however the updated guidance removes the previous separation criterion that
objective and reliable evidence of fair value of any undelivered items must exist for the delivered
items to be considered a separate unit or separate units of accounting. This guidance was
effective for fiscal years beginning on or after July 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance is
not expected to have a material effect on the Companys consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.
In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit
Derivatives to address questions that have been raised in practice about the intended breadth of
the embedded credit derivative scope exception in paragraphs 815-15-15-8 through 815-15-15-9 of ASC
815, Derivatives and Hedging. The amended guidance clarifies that the scope exception applies to
contracts that contain an embedded credit derivative that is only in the form of subordination of
one financial instrument to another. This guidance was effective on August 1, 2010 for the
Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

New Accounting Standards Continued
In December 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance regarding ASC No. 805, Business
Combinations, on the disclosure of supplementary pro forma information for business combinations.
ASC No. 805 requires a public entity to disclose pro forma information for business combinations
that occurred in the current reporting period. The disclosures include pro forma revenue and
earnings of the combined entity for the current reporting period as though the acquisition date for
all business combinations that occurred during the year had been as of the beginning of the annual
reporting period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Companys
consolidated results of operations and financial condition.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards IFRS, which
results in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S.
GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. ASU
2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will
first be applicable to the Companys fiscal quarter beginning February 1, 2012. The adoption of
this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated results of
operations and financial condition.

NOTE F LONG-TERM DEBT
Note Payable Bank
In January 2010, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank
(Wells Fargo), with a credit limit up to $25 million. The term of the credit facility initially
extended for two years, through January 8, 2012, and allows the Company to choose among interest
rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate can be the prime rate plus one half percent
(effectively, 3.75% at April 30, 2011) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively,
3.1% at April 30, 2011), which is paid monthly. The LIBOR rate has a floor of .35%. The credit
facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company
and requires the Company to be in compliance with several financial covenants. In August 2010, the
Company and Wells Fargo increased the Companys senior secured credit facility from $25 million to
$30 million. On January 31, 2011, the Company and Wells Fargo agreed to extend the term of its
credit facility through September 30, 2013 and to amend a financial covenant. The Company was in
compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2011 and 2010. As of April 30, 2011, there
was a $22,000,000 outstanding balance under the credit facility and $8,000,000 of unused
availability.
Through January 2010, the Company had a revolving credit facility with Bank of America under which
the Company could borrow up to the lesser of: (i) $32 million; or (ii) an amount equal to the sum
of 85% of the eligible receivable borrowing base and the lesser of $16 million or 50% of the
eligible inventory borrowing base. The revolving credit facility was due to expire on September
30, 2010.
Prior to January 2010, the Company had a term loan with Bank of America with an outstanding balance
at January 7, 2010 of $1,500,000. The term loan required quarterly principal payments of $250,000
due each quarter through the quarter ending June 30, 2011 and interest payable monthly throughout
the term of the loan. On January 8, 2010, the Company repaid this debt using proceeds from the
credit facility from Wells Fargo.
Capital Lease Obligations
On January 19, 2010, the Company entered into a leasing transaction with Wells Fargo Equipment
Finance, Inc. to refinance $1,287,407 of equipment. The term of the lease financing agreement

NOTE H INCOME TAXES Continued
We have not provided U.S. deferred taxes for a significant portion of undistributed earnings of the
Companys subsidiaries, since these earnings have been, and under current plans will continue to
be, permanently reinvested in these subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of
additional taxes that may be payable upon distribution. Should the tax law to repatriate dividends
change, the Company may reconsider its plan.
The Company has identified uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Companys
tax returns in accordance with ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company has not
recognized the benefit for those positions in its consolidation financial statements. A
reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest
and penalties, is as follows:

respectively.
Interest related to tax positions taken in the Companys tax returns are recorded in income tax
expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company did not record penalties in the
Consolidated Statements of Income.
During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011, the Company completed an examination with the Internal
Revenue Service related to fiscal years April 30, 2008 and April 30, 2009. The completion of the
examination had no impact on the amount of the unrecognized tax benefits. The settlement of the
examination resulted in an increase to tax expense of $6,143 related to interest on a deficiency
notice.

NOTE M STOCK OPTIONS
The Company has stock option plans (Option Plans) under which certain employees and non-employee
directors may acquire up to 1,603,500 shares of common stock. Options available for grant under
the employee plans total 1,207,500, with the non-employee director plans allowing for a total of
396,000 options available for grant. At April 30, 2011, the Company has 55,864 shares available
for future issuance to employees under the employee plan and none under the non-employee director
plan. The Option Plans are interpreted and administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors. The maximum term of options granted under the Option Plans is generally 10 years.
Options granted under the Option Plans are either incentive stock options or nonqualified options.
Options forfeited under the Option Plans are available for reissuance. Options granted under these
plans are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of the Companys
common stock on the date of grant.
There were no options granted during fiscal year 2011 or 2010.
Option-valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Companys
stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and
because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate,
in managements opinion, the existing method does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure
of the fair value of the Companys stock options. When the Company does grant stock options, it
uses the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the option grant to calculate the risk-free
interest rate and the weighted-average expected life of options calculated using the simplified
method, due to limited history. The expected dividend, volatility and forfeitures rates of options
are based on historical experience and expected future results.
