OVERVIEW 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, consumer electronics, gaming, fitness, industrial electronics, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications and automotive. During August and September 2004 the Company acquired all the interests of the outside investors in its affiliate, SMT Unlimited L.P. ("SMTU"), and the general partner of SMTU, SMT Unlimited, Inc. On 4 October 1, 2004, SMT Unlimited, Inc. was liquidated and on November 1, 2004 SMT Unlimited, Inc. was merged into the Company, resulting in SMTU becoming an operating division of the Company. Prior to the acquisition by the Company, SMTU was consolidated under FASB Interpretation No. 46 ("FIN 46R") Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. In July 2005 the Company closed on the purchase of all of the outstanding stock of Able, a company headquartered in Hayward, California, and its wholly owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., located in Tijuana, Mexico. Able is an ISO 9001:2000 certified EMS company serving Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") in the life sciences, telecommunications and industrial electronics industries. The acquisition of Able has allowed the Company to make strides towards achieving four objectives: (1) diversify markets, capabilities and customer base, (2) adding a third low-cost manufacturing facility (Tijuana, Mexico), (3) creating an opportunity to consolidate the California operations into one facility, and (4) generating incremental revenue from Able's customers as they become familiar with the Company's broader array of services. The effective date of the transaction was July 1, 2005. Able was merged into the Company on November 1, 2005 and operates as a division of the Company. The purchase price was approximately $16,800,000 and was recorded as a stock purchase transaction in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The transaction was financed by the Company's amended credit facility and resulted in an increase of approximately $8,500,000 in goodwill. In June 2005 the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada operation. The Las Vegas facility operated as a complete EMS center specializing in the assembly of electronic products and cables for a broad range of customers primarily in the gaming industry. The effective date of the transaction was May 30, 2005. The transaction was structured as an asset purchase, and included a $2,000,000 cash payment to the Company for the buyer's purchase of the machinery, equipment and other assets of the Las Vegas operation. The transaction was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and included a gain on the transaction of approximately $311,000. The gain was offset by a loss of approximately $383,000 from discontinued operations for the Las Vegas operation for the period ended April 30, 2006. The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Hayward, California; Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico; and Wujiang, China. The Company maintains materials sourcing offices in Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Hayward, California; and Taipei, Taiwan. The Company provides warehousing services in Del Rio, Texas and Huntsville, Alabama. 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. 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 Company's knowledge and expertise in the EMS industry to provide its customers with advanced manufacturing technologies and high quality, responsive and flexible manufacturing services. The Company's 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 customer's product based upon the customer's 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 purchase agreements with the majority of its major or single-source suppliers. 5 The Company believes ad-hoc negotiations with its suppliers provides 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 Taiwanese procurement office and agents to source materials from the Far East. The Company believes this office 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 Company's core business is the assembly of printed circuit boards through the automated and manual insertion of components on to 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 OEMs to use advanced circuitry, while at the 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 Company's 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 RoHS compliant assembly services in order to comply with the European Union environmental mandate that became effective 2006 and is currently performing RoHS compliant assembly services at each of its manufacturing locations. The Company also provides quick turnaround, turnkey prototype services at all of its locations. In Elk Grove Village, the Company offers touch screen / LCD assembly services in a clean room environment. In Acuna, Mexico, the Company offers parylene coating services. In Tijuana, Mexico, the Company offers diagnostic, repair and rework services for power supplies. In all locations, the Company offers box-build services, which integrate its printed circuit board and other manufacturing and assembly technologies into higher level sub-assemblies and end products. Finally, the Company designs and manufactures DC to AC inverters. 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 Company's customers are in the appliance, gaming, industrial electronics, fitness, life sciences, semiconductor, telecommunications, consumer electronics and automotive industries. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 140 active customers ranging from Fortune 500 companies to small, privately held enterprises. 6 The following table shows, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales to the principal end-user markets it serves. PERCENT OF NET SALES ------------------------ TYPICAL FISCAL FISCAL FISCAL MARKETS OEM APPLICATION 2005 2006 2007 ------- --------------- ------ ------ ------ Appliances Household appliance controls 37.1% 37.6% 37.6% Industrial Electronics Motor controls, power supplies 15.6 18.8 23.9 Fitness Treadmills, exercise bikes 18.5 20.0 16.7 Telecommunications Routers 10.0 11.1 6.3 Gaming Slot machines, lighting displays 11.6 2.3 5.7 Life Sciences Clinical diagnostic systems and instruments -- 5.0 4.2 Semiconductor Equipment Process control and yield management solutions for semiconductor productions -- 3.9 4.1 Consumer Electronics Carbon monoxide alarms, sprinkler systems, battery backup sump pumps 6.4 1.1 0.8 Automotive Automobile interior lighting 0.8 0.2 0.7 --- --- --- Total 100% 100% 100% === === === For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness accounted for 24.8% and 16.9%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2006, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness accounted for 30.1% and 19.7%, respectively, of the Company's net sales. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, Spitfire Controls, Inc. and Life Fitness accounted for 31.5% and 17.5%, respectively, of the Company's 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 Company's net sales, although the individual percentages may vary from period to period. SALES AND MARKETING The Company markets its services through 11 independent manufacturers' representative organizations that together currently employ approximately 37 sales personnel in the United States and Canada. Independent manufacturers' representative organizations receive variable commissions based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories. The members of the Company's senior management are actively involved in sales and marketing efforts, and the Company has 5 direct sales employees. Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company's 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 Company's revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company's gross 7 margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company's revenues for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. In the past, the timing and rescheduling of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenue and earnings; such fluctuations may continue. MEXICO AND CHINA OPERATIONS The Company's 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. The Company's wholly owned subsidiary AbleMex S.A. de C.V., a Mexican corporation, is located in Tijuana, Mexico, a border town south of San Diego, California. AbleMex S.A. de C.V. was incorporated and commenced operations in 2000. 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 Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries. The Company provides funding to its Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for pesos and RMB as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, has not had a material impact on the financial results of the Company. In fiscal year 2007 the Company paid approximately $19,400,000 to its subsidiaries for services provided. In May 2002 the Company acquired a plant in Acuna, Mexico through seller financing. The loan of $1,950,000 is payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $31,000 over six and a half years at a rate of 7% interest per annum. Prior to acquiring that plant, the Company rented the facility. At April 30, 2007, approximately $531,500 was outstanding in connection with the financing of that facility. The Company's wholly-owned foreign enterprise SigmaTron China 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 (Footnote J, contingencies). 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 Company's wholly-owned foreign enterprise. At April 30, 2007, this operation had 213 employees. 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 provide all of these services. In addition, the Company may be operating at a cost disadvantage compared to manufacturers who have greater direct buying power with component suppliers or who have lower cost structures. Current and prospective customers continually evaluate the merits of manufacturing products internally and will from time to time offer manufacturing services to third parties in order to utilize excess capacity. During downturns in the electronics industry, OEMs may become more price sensitive. There can be no assurance that competition from existing or potential competitors will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The 8 introduction of lower priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Company's competitors or significant pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations, as would the introduction of new technologies which render the Company's manufacturing process technology less competitive or obsolete. CONSOLIDATION 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., 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. As a result of consolidation and other transactions involving competitors and other companies in the Company's 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. The Company completed one such transaction in July 2005 with the acquisition of Able. In the future, the Company may choose to enter into other transactions at any time depending on available sources of financing, and such transactions could have a material impact on the Company, its business or operations. Recent transactions are disclosed in Footnote K of the financial statements included with this Annual Report on Form 10-K. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS The Company's operations are subject to certain foreign, federal, state and local regulatory requirements relating to environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety matters. Management believes that the Company's business is operated in material compliance with all such regulations. To date, the cost to the Company of such compliance has not had a material impact on the Company's 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 Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, effective mid-2006 the Company's 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's backlog as of April 30, 2007, was approximately $47,680,000. The Company currently expects to ship substantially all of the remaining April 30, 2007, backlog by the end of the 2008 fiscal year. Backlog as of April 30, 2006, totaled approximately $52,875,000. Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts and purchase orders received by the Company and delivery requirements generally may result in substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. Because customers may cancel or reschedule deliveries, backlog may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue. EMPLOYEES The Company employed approximately 2,470 people as of April 30, 2007, including 128 engaged in engineering or engineering related services, 2,037 in manufacturing and 305 in administrative and marketing functions. The Company has a labor contract with Production Workers Union Local No. 10, AFL-CIO, covering the Company's workers in Elk Grove Village, Illinois which expires on November 30, 2009. The Company's 9 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 Company's workers in Acuna, Mexico which expires on January 15, 2008. 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.

RISK FACTORS 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 COMPANY'S ABILITY TO SECURE AND MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS IS KEY TO ITS CONTINUED OPERATIONS. On July 31, 2006, the Company amended the credit facility to increase the revolving credit facility from $22,000,000 to $27,000,000. The Company also has a term loan which was increased in July 2006 to $4,000,000 from $2,750,000 on July 31, 2006. Interest payments only are due monthly through June 30, 2007 and quarterly principal payments of $250,000 are due each quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30 2007, through the quarter ending June 30, 2011. Interest payments continue to be due monthly throughout the term. In October 2006, the Company amended the credit facility to increase the revolving credit facility from $27,000,000 to $32,000,000. The increase of $5,000,000 was for a term of six months and expired on April 30, 2007. In April 2007, the amended revolving credit facility was renewed in the amount of $32,000,000 and will expire on September 30, 2009. The amended revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of: (i) $32,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivable borrowing base and the lesser of $16,000,000 or a percentage of the inventory base. In January and April 2007, the Company's financial covenants were amended. On April 30, 2007, $24,219,015 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility 10 and $4,000,000 under the term loan. There was approximately $5,100,000 of unused credit available as of April 30, 2007. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2007. The Company anticipates credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements in fiscal year 2008. In the event the business grows rapidly 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 in the future. THE COMPANY EXPERIENCES VARIABLE OPERATING RESULTS. The Company's 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 Company's common stock. The Company's quarterly and annual results may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. These factors include: - Changes in sales mix to customers - Changes in availability and cost of components - Volume of customer orders relative to capacity - Market demand and acceptance of our customers' products - Price erosion within the EMS marketplace - Capital equipment requirements needed to remain technologically competitive THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMER BASE IS CONCENTRATED. Sales to the Company's five largest customers accounted for 56%, 64% and 63% of net sales for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Further, the Company's two largest customers accounted for 24.8% and 16.9% of net sales, for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2007. Significant reduction in sales to any of the Company's major customers or the loss of a major customer could have a material impact on the Company's 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. THERE IS VARIABILITY IN THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMPANY'S CUSTOMERS. The Company does not generally obtain long-term purchase contracts. The timing of purchase orders placed by the Company's customers is affected by a number of factors, including variation in demand for the customers' products, regulatory changes affecting customer industries, customer attempts to manage inventory, changes in the customers' manufacturing strategies and customers' technical problems or issues. Many of these factors are outside the control of the Company. THE COMPANY AND ITS CUSTOMERS MAY BE UNABLE TO KEEP CURRENT WITH THE INDUSTRY'S TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES. The market for the Company's manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and continuing product development. The future success of the Company's 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. Effective mid-2006 the Company's customers were required to be in compliance with the European Standard of RoHS for all products shipped to the European marketplace. The purpose of the directive is to restrict the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment and to contribute to the environmentally sound recovery and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment waste. In addition, 11 electronic component manufacturers must produce electronic components which are lead-free. The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company's production process. Customers' specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The inability to utilize any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. THE COMPANY FACES INTENSE INDUSTRY COMPETITION AND DOWNWARD PRICING PRESSURES. The EMS industry is highly fragmented and characterized by intense competition. Many of the Company's competitors have substantially greater experience, as well as greater manufacturing, purchasing, marketing and financial resources than the Company. There can be no assurance that competition from existing or potential competitors will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations. The introduction of lower priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Company's competitors or significant pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition, and results of operations. THE COMPANY HAS FOREIGN OPERATIONS THAT MAY POSE ADDITIONAL RISKS. A substantial part of the Company's manufacturing operations is based in Mexico. Therefore, the Company's business and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability of the Mexican economy, the political climate in Mexico and Mexico's 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 has opened an operation in China in order to better support and grow its customer base. The success of the operation is dependent on the Company's ability to obtain new business; to hire and train qualified personnel; and to implement an efficient manufacturing environment. Other factors could have a material impact on the business, including the Chinese political climate and its relations with the United States and the stability of the Chinese economy. The Company obtains many of its materials and components through its office in Taipei, Taiwan and, therefore, the Company's access to these materials and components is dependent on the continued viability of its Asian suppliers. INABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH. The Company may not effectively manage its growth and successfully integrate the management and operations of its acquisition. Acquisitions involve significant financial and operating risks that could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations. DISCLOSURE AND INTERNAL CONTROLS. The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, do not believe that its 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. In July 2007, the Company amended its Code of Conduct policy to include a fraud prevention policy, requiring diligence and reporting to senior management any suspected fraud activity. In addition, the Company has a number of internal control policies designed to discover and deal with potential fraud activities. THERE IS A RISK OF FLUCTUATION OF VARIOUS CURRENCIES INTEGRAL TO THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS. 12 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 Company's operations and performance. These fluctuations are expected to continue. The Company does not utilize derivatives or hedge foreign currencies to reduce the risk of such fluctuations. 13 THE AVAILABILITY OF RAW COMPONENTS MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY'S OPERATIONS. The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company's production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer's specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers or increases in component cost could have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. The Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. THE COMPANY IS DEPENDENT ON KEY PERSONNEL. The Company depends significantly on its President and Chief Executive Officer, Gary R. Fairhead, and on other executive officers. The loss of the services of any of these key employees could have a material impact on the Company's business and results of operations. In addition, despite significant competition, continued growth and expansion of the Company's EMS business will require that it attract, motivate and retain additional skilled and experienced personnel. The inability to satisfy such requirements could have a negative impact on the Company's 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 70% of its workforce. Although the Company believes its labor relations are good, any labor disruptions, whether union-related or otherwise, could significantly impair the Company's business, substantially increase the Company's costs or otherwise have a material impact on the Company's 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. 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 Company's results of operations. THE PRICE OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK IS VOLATILE. The price of the Company's common stock historically has experienced significant volatility due to fluctuations in the Company's revenue and earnings, other factors relating to the Company's operations, the market's changing expectations for the Company's growth, overall equity market conditions and other factors unrelated to the Company's operations. In addition, the limited float of the Company's common stock and the limited number of market makers also affect the volatility of the Company's common stock. Such fluctuations are expected to continue in the future. THE COMPANY'S GOODWILL MAY BE IMPAIRED IN FUTURE PERIODS. Current accounting standards require an annual assessment of goodwill for impairment. This annual assessment requires the Company to determine the fair value of its reporting unit and compare this fair value to the carrying value of the reporting unit. In the event the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, the Company would be required to calculate a goodwill impairment charge. Determination of the fair value of the reporting unit involves consideration of several factors, including the market price of the Company's common stock, as well as current and projected performance of the Company. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test for the year ended April 30, 2007. The goodwill impairment analysis indicated there was no goodwill impairment for the year ended April 30, 2007 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by approximately 1%. However, in the event the Company does not achieve projected performance or there is a decline in the market price of the Company's stock, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill in the future, which charge would reduce net income and earnings per share. 14 BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY INCREASES THE COMPANY'S ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley"), 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. These rules, regulations, and requirements have increased the Company's legal expenses, financial compliance and administrative costs, made many other activities more time consuming and costly and diverted the attention of senior management. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee. In addition, if the Company receives a qualified opinion on the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, shareholders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company's financial statements, which could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company's stock. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS None. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES At April 30, 2007, the Company had manufacturing facilities located in Elk Grove Village, Illinois, Hayward, California and Acuna and Tijuana, Mexico and Wujiang, China. In addition, the Company provides inventory management services through its Del Rio, Texas, warehouse facilities and materials procurement services through its Elk Grove Village, Illinois; Acuna, Mexico; Hayward, California; and Taipei, Taiwan offices and a warehouse facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Certain information about the Company's manufacturing, warehouse and purchasing facilities is set forth below: SQUARE OWNED/ LOCATION FEET SERVICES OFFERED LEASED -------- ------- ---------------- ------ Suzhou-Wujiang, China 147,500 High volume assembly, and testing of PTH and * SMT, box-build Hayward, CA 126,000 Assembly and testing of PTH, SMT and BGA, Leased box-build, prototyping, warehousing Elk Grove Village, IL 118,000 Corporate headquarters, assembly and testing Owned of PTH, SMT and BGA, box-build, prototyping, warehousing Acuna, Mexico 115,000 High volume assembly, and testing of PTH and Owned SMT, box-build, transformers ** Las Vegas, NV 38,250 N/A Leased *** Del Rio, TX 36,000 Warehouse, portion of which is bonded Leased Tijuana, Mexico 67,700 High volume assembly, and testing of PTH and Leased SMT, box-build Fremont, CA 24,500 N/A Leased **** Taipei, Taiwan 2,900 Materials procurement, alternative sourcing Leased assistance and quality control Huntsville, AL and ***** Just-in-time inventory management and delivery ***** Tlaquepaque, Mexico * The Company's Wujiang, China building is owned by the Company and the land is leased from the Chinese government for a 50 year term (Footnote J, contingencies). ** A portion of the facility is leased. 15 *** During fiscal year 2006 the Las Vegas operation was sold. The Company continues to be obligated under the primary lease agreement for the facility and sublets the property to other occupants. **** In fiscal year 2006 the Fremont operation was consolidated into the Hayward operation. The Company was obligated under the primary lease until December 31, 2006. ***** There is no lease for this facility. The Company has entered into a service agreement whereby contracted warehouse personnel provide services for the Company and its customer. The Hayward, California and Tijuana, Mexico properties and a portion of the Del Rio, Texas property are occupied pursuant to leases of the premises. The lease agreements for the Nevada, Texas and California properties expire October 2009, December 2015 and September 2010, respectively. The Tijuana, Mexico leases expire June 2009. The Alabama space is provided under a service agreement. The Company's manufacturing facilities located in Acuna, Mexico and Elk Grove Village, Illinois are owned by the Company, except for a portion of the facility in Mexico, which is leased. The properties in Acuna, Mexico and Illinois are financed under separate mortgage agreements, which mature in November 2008. The Company, through an agent, leases the purchasing and engineering office in Taipei, Taiwan to coordinate Far East purchasing and design activities. The Company believes the existing facilities will meet its future needs. However, the Company is considering expanding its Acuna manufacturing operation during fiscal 2008. All facilities are adequately insured. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Since the beginning of the 2007 fiscal year, the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of the Company's business. In future periods, the Company could be subjected to cash cost or non-cash charges to earnings if any of these matters is resolved on unfavorable terms. However, although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including our assessment of the merits of the particular claim, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings or claims will have any material adverse impact on its future consolidated financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007. 16 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES The Company's common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market System under the symbol SGMA.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 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., and AbleMex S.A. de C.V., acquired in July 2005, and its wholly-owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. ("SigmaTron China"), and its procurement branch SigmaTron Taiwan (collectively the "Company") and other Items in this Annual Report on Form 10-K contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company's business or results of operations. Words such as "continue," "anticipate," "will," "expects," "believe," "plans," and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of SigmaTron (including its subsidiaries). Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company's plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company's business including our 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 may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the variability of our customers' requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the Company's ability to continue to produce products that are in compliance with RoHS; the ability of the Company and our customers 18 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 Company's business; the continued stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese and Taiwanese economic systems, labor and political conditions; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth, including its expansion into China and its integration of the Able operation acquired in July 2005. These and other factors which may affect the Company's future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and risk factors and may be detailed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise. 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. As the demand for electronic products has continued to increase over the past several months, the lead-time for many components has increased. Pricing for some components and related commodities has escalated due to the increased demand and the transition to RoHS components and may continue to increase in the future periods. The impact of these price increases could have a negative effect on the Company's gross margins and operating results. The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company's production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer's 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 Company's results of operations, and the Company may be required to operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that ad-hoc negotiations with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company's orders are based on the needs of its customers, which constantly change. Sarbanes-Oxley, 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. These rules, regulations, and requirements have increased the company's legal expenses, financial compliance and administrative costs, made many other activities more time consuming and costly and diverted the attention of senior management. These rules and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members for our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee. In addition, if the Company receives a qualified opinion on the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, shareholders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company's financial statements, which could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company's stock. Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company's 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 19 orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company's revenue levels. However, the Company does not believe that such variations are a meaningful indicator of the Company's gross margins. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company's revenues for the year ended April 30, 2007. 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. 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 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 goodwill. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of product including the Company's electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the product is shipped to the customer. In general, it is the Company's policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the order has been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order except for consignment inventory. Consignment 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 customer's own facility. Upon the customer's request for inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored offsite or transferred from the segregated part of the customer's facility for consumption, or use, by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company generally provides a ninety (90) day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has negotiated extended 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 minimus under the Company's standard or extended warranties. Any returns for workmanship issues received after each period end are accrued in the respective financial statements. Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. 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 Company's 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 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 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, if any, exceeds its fair market value. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144, which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. Goodwill and Other Intangibles - The Company adopted on June 1, 2001, SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations". Under SFAS No. 141, a purchaser must allocate the total consideration paid in a business combination to the acquired tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value. The Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" effective January 1, 2002. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", requires the Company to 20 assess goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company completed its annual assessment of impairment regarding the goodwill recorded. The Company calculates fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and certain market approaches which considered both the Company's market capitalization and trading multiples of comparable companies. The calculations of fair value of the reporting unit involves significant judgment and different underlying assumptions could result in different calculated fair values. The goodwill impairment analysis indicated there was no goodwill impairment for the year ended April 30, 2007 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unity by approximately 1%. However, in the event the Company does not achieve projected performance or there is a decline in the market price of the Company's stock, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill in the future, which charge would reduce net income and earnings per share. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments" (SFAS 155). FASB 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financials instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance and derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of May 1, 2007, as required. The Company has estimated that its potential impact to retained earnings is expected to be no greater than $500,000. In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (SFAS 157), "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to U.S. GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 may have on its financial statements. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 "The Fair Value Options for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 may have on financial statements. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2007 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2006 Net sales increased 32.9% to $165,909,106 in fiscal year 2007 from $124,786,476 in the prior year. The Company's sales increased in the industrial electronics, appliance, gaming, telecommunications, fitness, semiconductor and life sciences marketplaces during fiscal year 2007 as compared to the prior year. The increase in sales volume was partially offset by price reductions to customers. The Company anticipates pricing pressures from customers will continue in fiscal year 2008. The increase in the industrial electronics, semiconductor and life sciences industries is primarily due to sales to customers as the result of the acquisition of Able. The increase in sales in the appliance, gaming, telecommunications and fitness marketplaces is primarily due to sales to customers existing prior to the Able acquisition. The increase in sales for fiscal year 21 2007 was also due to short term demand related to the RoHS standard transition and the addition of several new significant customers. The Company's 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 terminations, the life cycle of customer products and product transition. There can be no assurance that sales levels or gross margins will remain stable in future periods. Sales to the Company's five largest customers accounted for 56% and 64% of net sales for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. Gross profit increased to $17,758,756 or 10.7% of net sales in fiscal year 2007 compared to $14,800,099 or 11.9% of net sales in the prior period. The decrease in the Company's gross profit as a percentage of sales is the result of the operating inefficiencies caused by the RoHS conversion required by many customers, and the longer than expected integration of Able into SigmaTron. The Company also experienced increased raw material cost for various integrated circuits, plastics and stamping due to soaring commodity prices, for steel and precious metals, and continuous pricing pressures from customers. Transportation and regulatory costs also escalated. Selling and administrative expenses increased in fiscal year 2007 to $12,872,353 or 7.8% of net sales compared to $10,925,646 or 8.8% of net sales in fiscal year 2006. The increase is primarily due to additional personnel in the sales and purchasing departments and an increase in commission expense. Amortization expense increased in fiscal 2007 due to the intangibles related to the acquisition of Able. The Company anticipates it will incur additional professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley, specifically in compliance with the requirements of Section 404, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, in future periods. Interest expense increased to $2,574,180 in fiscal year 2007 compared to $1,421,455 in fiscal year 2006. The interest expense increased due to increased borrowings under the Company's lines of credit to support working capital requirements, additional capital leases for machinery and equipment and rising interest rates. Interest expense for fiscal year 2008 is expected to be comparable to the amount of interest expense recorded in fiscal year 2007. In fiscal year 2007 tax expense from continuing operations was $896,179 which resulted in an effective rate of 34.5% compared to $935,589 in income tax expense and an effective rate of 32.7% in fiscal year 2006. The tax rate in fiscal years 2007 and 2006 is impacted by the Company's operations in foreign countries. In June 2005 the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada operation. The Las Vegas facility operated as a complete EMS center specializing in the assembly of electronic products and cables for a broad range of customers primarily in the gaming industry. The effective date of the transaction was May 30, 2005. The transaction was structured as an asset sale, and included a $2,000,000 cash payment to the Company for the buyer's purchase of the machinery, equipment and other assets of the Las Vegas operation. The transaction was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and included a gain on the transaction of approximately $311,000. The gain was offset by a loss of approximately $383,000 on discontinued operations for the Las Vegas operation for the period ended April 30, 2006. Net income decreased to $1,698,324 in fiscal year 2007 compared to $1,882,132 in fiscal year 2006. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended April 30, 2007, was $0.44 compared to $0.48 in fiscal year 2006. Basic earnings per share was $0.45 and $0.50 for the year ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2006 COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2005 Net sales increased 32.3% to $124,786,476 in fiscal year 2006 from $94,312,573 in the prior year. The Company's sales increased in the industrial electronics, fitness, life sciences, semiconductor and appliance marketplaces during fiscal year 2006 as compared to the prior year. The increase in sales volume in the appliance and fitness industries was partially offset by price reductions to customers. The Company anticipates pricing pressures from customers will continue in fiscal year 2007. The increase in the industrial electronics, life sciences and semiconductor industries is primarily due to sales to new customers as the results of acquisition of Able. The acquisition of Able has allowed the Company to make strides towards achieving four objectives: (1) to further diversify its markets, capabilities and customer base, (2) adding a third low-cost 22 manufacturing facility in Tijuana, (3) creating an opportunity to consolidate the California operations into one facility, and (4) to generate incremental revenue from Able's customers as they become familiar with the Company's broader array of services. The Company's 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 terminations, the life cycle of customer products and product transition. There can be no assurance that sales levels or gross margins will remain stable in future periods. Sales to the Company's five largest customers accounted for 64% and 63% of net sales for fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively. Gross profit decreased to $14,800,099 or 11.9% of net sales in fiscal year 2006 compared to $17,958,154 or 19.0% of net sales in the prior period. The decrease in the Company's gross profit is the result of pricing pressures within the EMS industry, an increase in manufacturing supplies and component pricing and inefficiencies related to the integration of the Able operation acquired in July 2005. The consolidation of the Fremont and Able Hayward locations was completed in March 2006. The Company believes operational efficiencies will improve at both the Hayward and Tijuana manufacturing facilities during fiscal year 2007. In addition, the Company is currently expanding its Tijuana manufacturing operation and will transfer specific production from Hayward to Tijuana. The Company believes this realignment of production will assist in increasing the operating margins for the Hayward and Tijuana operations. Selling and administrative expenses increased in fiscal year 2006 to $10,925,646 or 8.8% of net sales compared to $10,076,082 or 10.6% of net sales in fiscal year 2005. The increase is primarily due to additional personnel in the sales department and increased insurance costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of Able. The increase in selling and administrative expenses is partially offset by a $1,053,000 reduction in bonus expense. The Company anticipates it will incur additional professional fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley, specifically Section 404, Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Interest expense increased to $1,421,455 in fiscal year 2006 compared to $283,137 in fiscal year 2005. The interest expense increased due to significant increased borrowings under the Company's lines of credit, primarily due to the Able acquisition, additional capital leases for machinery and equipment and rising interest rates. Interest expense for fiscal year 2007 is expected to be comparable to the amount of interest expense recorded in fiscal year 2006 or possibly higher. In fiscal year 2006 tax expense from continuing operations was $935,589 which resulted in an effective rate of 32.7% compared to $3,173,635 in income tax expense and an effective rate of 38.9% in fiscal year 2005. The effective tax rate in fiscal year 2006 has decreased compared to prior periods due to income earned in China. The Company has tax incentives related to its wholly owned foreign enterprise in China. The Company is currently using an estimate to calculate the amount of profits for tax purposes generated in China. In June 2005 the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada operation. The Las Vegas facility operated as a complete EMS center specializing in the assembly of electronic products and cables for a broad range of customers primarily in the gaming industry. The effective date of the transaction was May 30, 2005. The transaction was structured as an asset sale, and included a $2,000,000 cash payment to the Company for the buyer's purchase of the machinery, equipment and other assets of the Las Vegas operation. The transaction was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and included a gain on the transaction of approximately $311,000. The gain was offset by a loss of approximately $383,000 on discontinued operations for the Las Vegas operation for the period ended April 30, 2006. 23 The following amounts related to the discontinued operation and have been segregated from continuing operations and reflected as discontinued operations in each periods consolidated statement of income (in thousands): 2006 2005 2004 ---- ------ ------ Sales 522 11,764 16,316 Income (loss) before tax expense (benefit) (383) (234) 773 Net Income (loss) from discontinued operation 355 (142) 467 Gain on sale of business 311 -- -- Net income (loss) from discontinued operation (44) (142) 467 Net income decreased to $1,882,132 in fiscal year 2006 compared to $4,698,799 in fiscal year 2005. Diluted earnings per share for the year ended April 30, 2006, was $0.48 compared to $1.23 in fiscal year 2005. Basic earnings per share was $0.50 and $1.25 for the years ended April 30 2006, and 2005, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: Cash flow (used in) operating activities was ($2,308,847) for the year ended April 30, 2007 compared to cash flow provided by operations of $1,997,144 in fiscal 2006. Cash used in operations was the result of a significant increase in inventories of $10,075,504 and an increase in accounts receivable of $2,549,567. The increase in inventories is attributable to an increase in the number of customers, customer required safety stock, RoHS transition, and inefficiencies at the Company's Hayward and Tijuana operations. The inefficiencies were due to the integration of Able into SigmaTron and the expansion of the Tijuana operations. Cash used in operating activities was partially offset by net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in trade payables. Cash flow provided by operating activities was $1,997,144 for the year ended April 30, 2006, compared to $1,337,081 for the prior fiscal year. During fiscal year 2006, cash provided by operations was the result of net income, the non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization and an increase in trade accounts payable. Cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in inventories of approximately $6,100,000. The increase in inventories is primarily attributable to an increase in customer required safety stock and the start up of the Company's China facility. INVESTING ACTIVITIES. In fiscal year 2007 the Company purchased approximately $4,500,000 in machinery and equipment and it anticipates it will make additional machinery and equipment acquisitions during fiscal year 2008. The Company executed three to five year capital leases to finance approximately $2,100,000 of the acquisitions in fiscal year 2007. In fiscal 2006 the Company purchased approximately $6,300,000 in machinery and equipment. The Company executed three to five year capital leases to finance several of the purchases in fiscal year 2006. In July 2005 the Company closed on the purchase of all of the outstanding stock of Able, a company headquartered in Hayward California and its wholly owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de C.V., located in Tijuana, Mexico. The effective date of the transaction was July 1, 2005. Able was merged into the Company on November 1, 2005 and operates as a division of the Company. The purchase price was approximately $16,800,000 and was recorded as a stock purchase transaction in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The transaction was financed by the Company's amended credit facility and resulted in an increase of approximately $8,500,000 in goodwill. In June 2005 the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada operation. The transaction was recorded by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006 and included a gain on the transaction of approximately $311,000. The gain was offset by a loss of approximately $383,000 from discontinued operations for the Las Vegas operation for the period ended April 30, 2006. 24 FINANCING TRANSACTIONS. On July 31, 2006, the Company amended the credit facility to increase the revolving credit facility from $22,000,000 to $27,000,000. The Company also has a term loan which was increased in July 2006 to $4,000,000 from $2,750,000 on July 31, 2006. Interest payments only are due monthly through June 30, 2007 and quarterly principal payments of $250,000 are due each quarter beginning with the quarter ending June 30 2007, through the quarter ending June 30, 2011. Interest payments continue to be due monthly throughout the term. In October 2006, the Company amended the credit facility to increase the revolving credit facility from $27,000,000 to $32,000,000. The increase of $5,000,000 was for a term of six months and expired on April 30, 2007. In April 2007, the amended revolving credit facility was renewed in the amount of $32,000,000 and will expire on September 30, 2009. The amended revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of: (i) $32,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivable borrowing base and the lesser of $16,000,000 or a percentage of the inventory base. In January and April 2007, the Company's financial covenants were amended. On April 30, 2007, $24,219,015 was outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $4,000,000 under the term loan. There was approximately $5,100,000 of unused credit available as of April 30, 2007. The Company was in compliance with its financial covenants at April 30, 2007. Cash provided by financing activities was $4,106,815 for the year ended April 30, 2007, compared to $22,345,050 in fiscal 2006. Cash provided by financing was the result of increased borrowing under the revolving credit facility of $5,057,115 and an increase of $1,000,000 in the term loan during fiscal year 2007 The cash provide by financing activities was partially offset by payments made for capital lease and building mortgage obligations. In fiscal year 2006 cash provided by financing activities was primarily the result of increased borrowings under the revolving credit facility and term loan. The additional working capital was required primarily for the acquisition of Able and to support revenue growth. SigmaTron China entered into a loan agreement in April 2005, which provided for a line of credit from the China Construction Bank. The interest rate under the agreement was 5.76%. The line of credit was collateralized by the Company's building in Suzhou-Wujiang China and 60 of the 100 Chinese acres leased at the property. The loan was paid in full in July 2006. The Company anticipates credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements in fiscal year 2008. In the event the business grows rapidly 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 in the future. The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries. The Company provides funding to its Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for pesos and RMB as needed. The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, has not had a material impact on the financial results of the Company. In fiscal year 2007 the Company paid approximately $19,400,000 to its subsidiaries for services provided. In May 2002, the Company acquired a plant in Acuna, Mexico through seller financing. The loan of $1,950,000 is payable in equal monthly installments of approximately $31,000 over six and a half years at a rate of 7% interest per annum. Prior to acquiring that plant, the Company rented the facility. At April 30, 2007, approximately $531,500 was outstanding in connection with the financing of that facility. The impact of inflation for the past three fiscal years has been minimal. OFF-BALANCE SHEET TRANSACTIONS: The Company has no off-balance sheet transactions. 25 CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS: The following table summarizes the Company's contractual obligations at April 30, 2007, and the effect such obligations are expected to have on its liquidity and cash flows in future periods.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS Interest Rate Risk The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates is due primarily to its short-term investments and borrowings under its credit agreements. The Company's borrowings are at a variable rate and an increase in interest rates of 1% would result in interest expense increasing by approximately $282,000 for the year ended April 30, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, the Company had no short-term investments and approximately $28,000,000 borrowings under its credit agreements. The Company does not use derivative financial investments. The Company's cash equivalents, if any, are invested in overnight commercial paper. The Company does not have any significant cash flow exposure due to rate changes for its cash equivalents, as these instruments are short-term. ITEM 8.

F-1 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, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 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 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 Company's 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 presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 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, 2007 and 2006 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. As described in Note Q to the consolidated financial statements, effective May 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share Based Payment."

These 2005 financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit 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 audit 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 Company's 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of SigmaTron International, Inc. and subsidiaries for the year ended April 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F-8 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS 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 North America, China and Taiwan. Approximately 9% of the consolidated assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States. 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., its wholly owned foreign enterprise Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co. Ltd., ("SigmaTron China") and its procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan. The functional currency of the Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries and procurement branch, SigmaTron Taiwan, is the U.S. dollar. The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The Company adopted FIN 46R as of November 1, 2003, as it relates to its former affiliate SMT Unlimited L.P. ("SMTU"). On September 2, 2004, the remaining minority interest in SMTU was acquired. On October 1, 2004, SMTU was liquidated, thereby becoming an operating division of the Company. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 and reserves for inventory and estimates used in goodwill impairment test. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. F-9 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 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 Company's 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 customer's 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 become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company's allowance for doubtful accounts relates to receivables not expected to be collected from our customers. This allowance is based on management's 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 Company's 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. The inventory includes an allocation of labor and overhead, including direct and indirect labor, freight and other overhead costs. 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 Company's 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 projected by management. F-10 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT 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 5 years Tools and dies 12 months Leasehold improvements term of lease INCOME TAXES Deferred 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 tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of the diluted earnings per share is similar to the 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 shares had been issued. At April 30, 2005, 2006, and 2007 there were 3,100, 33,100 and 419,790 anti-dilutive shares, respectively. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from sales of product including the Company's electronic manufacturing services business, are recognized when the product is shipped. In general it is the Company's policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the order has been shipped from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order except for consignment inventory. Consignment 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 customer's own facility. Upon the customer's request for inventory, the consignment inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored offsite or transferred from the segregated part of the F-11 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED REVENUE RECOGNITION - CONTINUED customer's facility for consumption, or use, by the customer. The Company recognizes revenues upon such transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for storing the consignment inventory. The Company generally provides a ninety (90) day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives, although the Company has negotiated extended warranty terms in certain instances. The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customer's specifications. Historically the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimus under the Company's standard or extended warranties. Any returns for workmanship issues received after each period end are accrued in the financial statements for the period in which the return was received. SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS The Company records shipping and handling costs net, 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 2007 and 2006. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company's financial instruments include receivables, notes payable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The fair values of financial instruments are not materially different from their carrying values. LONG-LIVED ASSETS The Company reviews long-lived 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 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, if any, exceeds its fair market value. The Company has adopted SFAS No 144, which establishes a single accounting model for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets, including discontinued operations. There were no impairments for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005. F-12 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES In accordance with SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" a purchaser must allocate the total consideration paid in a business combination to the acquired tangible and intangible assets based on their fair value. Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. SFAS No. 142, requires the Company to assess goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007, the Company completed its annual assessment of impairment regarding the goodwill recorded. The Company calculates fair value of the reporting unit utilizing a combination of a discounted cash flow approach and a market approach which considers both the Company's market capitalization and trading multiples of comparable companies. The calculation of fair value of the reporting unit involves significant judgment and utilization of different underlying assumptions could result in different calculated fair values. The goodwill impairment analysis indicated there was no goodwill impairment for the year ended April 30, 2007 as the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value of the reporting unit by approximately 1%. However, in the event the Company does not achieve projected performance or there is a decline in the market price of the Company's stock, we may be required to record an impairment charge for goodwill in the future, which charge would reduce net income and earnings per share.

SFAS 123 (R) requires the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant date fair value. Options for which the requisite service requirement has not been rendered and that are outstanding as of May 1, 2006 are valued in accordance with SFAS 123 "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" and will be recognized over the remaining service period. Stock based compensation expense for all stock-based awards granted subsequent to May 1, 2006 was based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 (R). The Company granted 16,000 options to non-executive employees and recognized approximately $34,000 in stock compensation expense associated with the grants and a tax benefit of approximately $13,000 in fiscal year 2007. Under the Company's 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. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), the Company had elected to apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 to account for its stock-based compensation plans, as permitted under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This method applied the intrinsic value method for stock options and other awards granted to employees. Had the fair value method F-15 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC.

Under FIN 44, a modification to accelerate the vesting of a fixed award effectively results in the renewal of that award if, after the modification, an employee is able to exercise/vest in an award that under the original terms, would have expired unexercisable/vested. If the employee continues to provide service and would have vested in the awards under the original vesting provisions, the modification does not cause an effective renewal of the awards and, accordingly, any incremental compensation expense measured as of the modification date should not be recognized. The Company determined approximately 15,900 options were effectively renewed and compensation expense of $5,248 was recognized in fiscal year 2006. F-16 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In February 2007 the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 ("SFAS 159") "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities". SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of SFAS 159 may have on its financial statements. In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157 ("SFAS 157") "Fair Value Measurements". SFAS 157 establishes a common definition for fair value to be applied to U.S. GAAP guidance requiring use of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about such fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact SFAS 157 may have on its financial statements. In July 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company will adopt FIN 48 as of May 1, 2007, F-17 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED APRIL 30, 2007, 2006 AND 2005 NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - CONTINUED as required. The Company has estimated that its potential impact to retained earnings is expected to be no greater than $500,000. In June 2006, FASB Interpretation 48 ("FASB 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" was issued, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. In February 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 155, "Accounting for Certain Hyrid Instruments" ("SFAS 155"). SFAS 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of the entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. NOTE C - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS In June 2005, the Company closed on the sale of its Las Vegas, Nevada operation. The Las Vegas facility operated as a complete EMS center specializing in the assembly of electronic products and cables for a broad range of customers primarily in the gaming industry.

Because the Company's employee 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 management's opinion the existing method does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options. The Company used the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the option grant to calculate the risk-free interest rate. The weighted-average expected life of options was calculated using the simplified Method. F-32 SIGMATRON INTERNATIONAL, INC.
