Frequency Electronics, Inc. was founded in 1961 as a research and development firm in the technology of time and frequency control. We were incorporated in Delaware in 1968 and became the successor to the business of Frequency Electronics, Inc., a New York corporation, organized in 1961. Our principal executive office is located at 55 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Mitchel Field, New York 11553. Our telephone number is (516) 794-4500 and our website is www.frequencyelectronics.com.
In the mid-1990’s, the Company evolved into a designer, developer and manufacturer of state-of-the-art products for both commercial and government end-use. Our present mission is to be the world leader in providing precision time and low phase noise frequency generation systems, from 1 Hz to 46 GHz for space and other challenging environments. Frequency’s technology is the key element in enhancing the functionality and performance of many electronic systems.
MARKETS
Frequency’s dominant business area is satellite payloads. We have a unique legacy of providing master timing systems, power converters, and frequency generation, synthesis and distribution systems. We are currently addressing new opportunities in frequency converters, transmitters and receivers, representing a significant increase in the potential revenue for our products on any one satellite. These products support primary and hosted payloads for both commercial and U.S. government end-use. Currently, approximately one thousand satellites with varying remaining years of useful life, are operating in High/Geostationary, Medium and Low Earth Orbits. This number of operational satellites is expected to continue to grow over the next ten years as many new satellites are added and older ones are replaced.
Our products support multiple C4ISR (“Command, Control, Communication, Computer, Intelligence, Security and Reconnaissance”), counter measures and additional defense electronic applications for the U.S. government on land, sea and air-borne platforms.
Commercial markets include network infrastructure and other industrial uses. Frequency’s products support precise signal synchronization in mobile communication networks to maintain quality of service. Its products support expanded bandwidth and security in public and enterprise networks. The vast world-wide wireline network infrastructure incorporates thousands of central offices which require synchronization upgrades and replacements to provide network integrity and interconnectivity. We provide remote terminal units (“RTU”) for management of networks such as power grids and gas lines as well as specialized timing technology for oil and gas exploration.
To address these markets, we have several corporate entities which operate under three reportable segments:
|
1.
|
FEI-NY Our space and certain terrestrial commercial communication products are designed, developed and manufactured by our wholly-owned subsidiary, FEI Communications, Inc. (“FEIC”). FEIC was incorporated in Delaware in December 1991, as a separate subsidiary company to provide ownership and management of assets and other services appropriate for commercial clients, both domestic and foreign.
|
Frequency Electronics, Inc. Asia (“FEI-Asia”) was established in fiscal year 2002 to be our Asian-based low cost manufacturer of certain commercial communications products used primarily in the wireless and wireline markets. FEI-Asia is located in the Free-Trade Zone in Tianjin, China.
Our subsidiary, FEI Government Systems, Inc. (“FEI-GSI”), was formed in fiscal year 2002 to focus on supplying Frequency’s technology and legacy proprietary products to the United States military and other U.S. Government agencies.
In February 2012, we completed the acquisition of Elcom Technologies, Inc. (now FEI-Elcom Tech, Inc. or “FEI-Elcom”). FEI-Elcom designs and manufactures RF microwave devices and subsystems up to 46 GHz including fast switching, ultra low phase noise synthesizers, up-down converters, receivers, ceramic resonant oscillators and dielectric resonant oscillators. These instruments and components are critical for communication, surveillance, signal intelligence, automatic testing, satellite ground stations and satellite payloads.
|
2.
|
Gillam-FEI Our Belgian subsidiary, acquired in September 2000, develops and manufactures products for wireline network management and synchronization systems for a variety of industries and telecommunications providers in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
|
|
3.
|
FEI-Zyfer Precision time and frequency products that incorporate global positioning systems (“GPS”) technology are manufactured by our subsidiary FEI-Zyfer, Inc. (“FEI-Zyfer”), which was acquired in fiscal year 2004. FEI-Zyfer’s GPS capability complements our existing technologies and permits the combined entities to provide a broader range of embedded systems for a variety of timing functions. FEI-Zyfer also provides sales and support in the United States for our wireline telecommunications family of products including the next generation carrier network synchronization product line, US5G.

You should carefully consider each of the following risks, as well as all of the other information contained in this reoffer prospectus, before deciding to invest in our common stock. If any of these risks occurs, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose part or all of your investment.
A variety of factors may cause the price of our common stock to be volatile.
In recent years, the stock market in general, and the market for shares of technology companies in particular, including ours, have experienced price fluctuations. For example, during the fourth quarter of our fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, the price of our common stock has ranged from a closing high of $10.20 to a closing low of $9.02. The market price of our common stock is likely to continue to fluctuate significantly in the future, including fluctuations unrelated to our performance. We believe that fluctuations of our stock price may be caused by a variety of factors, including:
|
·
|
fluctuations in our operating results;
|
|
·
|
announcements of technological innovations, new commercial products or other developments by us or our competitors;
|
|
·
|
published reports by securities analysts;
|
|
·
|
general market conditions, general economic conditions;
|
|
·
|
announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures;
|
|
·
|
our cash position and cash commitments;
|
|
·
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
·
|
sales or purchases of our common stock in the marketplace;
|
|
·
|
an outbreak of hostilities, diseases, natural disasters or terrorism;
|
|
·
|
developments in patents or other intellectual property rights; and
|
|
·
|
developments in our relationships with customers and suppliers.
|
If we fail to keep pace with rapid technological change and evolving industry standards, our products could become less competitive or obsolete.
The markets for our products are characterized by technological change, new product introductions, changes in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. We may cease to be competitive if we fail to timely introduce new products or product enhancements that address these factors. To continue to introduce new products and product enhancements on a timely basis, we must:
|
·
|
identify emerging technological trends in our target markets;
|
|
·
|
accurately define and design new products or product enhancements to meet market needs;
|
|
·
|
develop or license the underlying core technologies necessary to create new products and product enhancements; and
|
|
·
|
respond effectively to technological changes and product introductions by our competitors.
|
If we fail to timely identify, develop, manufacture, market or support new or enhanced products successfully, our competitors could gain market share or our new or enhanced products might not gain market acceptance.
Delays in the development of new or enhanced products could harm our operating results and our competitive position.
The development of new, technologically advanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring high levels of innovation, highly skilled engineering and development personnel and accurate anticipation of technological and market trends. Consequently, product development delays are typical in our industry. If we fail to timely introduce a product for an emerging standard or customers defer or cancel orders expecting the release of a new or enhanced product, our operating results could suffer. Product development delays may result from numerous factors, including:
|
·
|
changing product specifications and customer requirements;
|
|
·
|
unanticipated engineering complexities;
|
|
·
|
difficulties with or delays by contract manufacturers or suppliers of key components or technologies;
|
|
·
|
difficulties in allocating engineering resources and overcoming resource limitations; and
|
|
·
|
difficulties in hiring and retaining necessary technical personnel.
|
We face uncertainty relating to economic conditions affecting our customers.
We face uncertainty in the degree to which the current global economic climate will affect the rate of growth for our existing and potential customers. In particular, the timing and magnitude of capital spending by international telecommunications companies, including those in China, will materially impact our business. We may experience instances of customers delaying or deferring orders and longer lead times to close sales. Similarly, spending on U.S. Government programs is determined by the annual defense department budget. Based on current Congressional deliberations to deal with the U.S. budget deficit, funding for certain Department of Defense programs may be delayed or significantly reduced in the near term. Such delays can have a materially negative impact on our business, our operating results and financial condition.
We face competition. Our inability to remain competitive in the industry would adversely affect our ability to maintain our current sales and growth.
We experience competition in all areas of our business. We compete primarily on the basis of the accuracy, performance and reliability of our products, the ability of our products to function under severe conditions, such as in space or other extreme hostile environments, prompt and responsive contract performance, technical competence and price. We have a unique and broad product line which includes all three frequency standards — quartz, rubidium, and cesium. For our high precision products, we have few competitors, but for lower precision components, we face significant competition from a number of suppliers. Certain of our competitors are larger, have greater financial resources and have larger research and development and marketing staffs. If our competitors develop more accurate or reliable products, or otherwise improve their products, we could experience a decline in our sales or loss of market acceptance of our products.
With respect to our instruments and systems, we compete with Agilent Technologies, Symmetricom, Inc., E. G. and G., Inc., Vectron, Inc. and others. Systems for the wireline industry produced by the Gillam-FEI segment compete with Symmetricom, Inc. and Oscilloquartz, a division of Swatch. Our principal competition for space products is the in-house capability of our major customers.
Our reliance on third parties could materially adversely affect our business.
In recent years, we have outsourced certain component manufacturing processes to third parties and to our wholly-owned subsidiary, FEI-Asia in Tianjin, China and to Russian-based Morion, Inc., in which we are a minority shareholder. Any unanticipated changes in such third parties’ ability to perform the component manufacturing processes or any delay in such manufacturing could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
Our executive officers and certain key personnel are critical to our business.
We are dependent upon the contributions of our senior corporate management team, particularly Martin Bloch, President and Chief Executive Officer, who has been with us since 1961, Markus Hechler, Executive Vice President, who has been employed by us since 1967, Oleandro Mancini, Senior Vice President of Business Development, who joined the Company in 2001, Alan Miller, Secretary, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer, who has been with us since 1995, and certain of our other key employees for our future success. If Messrs. Bloch, Hechler, Mancini and Miller no longer serve in their positions, our business, financial conditions and results of operation could be substantially adversely affected.
Our future operating results also depend in significant part upon our ability to attract and retain qualified management, manufacturing, technical, engineering, marketing, sales and support personnel. Competition for qualified personnel is intense, and we cannot ensure success in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. There may be only a limited number of persons with the requisite skills to serve in these positions and it may be increasingly difficult for us to hire personnel over time. Our business, financial conditions and results of operation could be substantially adversely affected by our inability to attract and retain skilled employees.
Economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect sales.
Because we sell our products worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Sales to non-U.S. end-users, including the revenues of our overseas subsidiaries, totaled approximately 33% and 28% of net revenues in the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We anticipate that revenue from international operations will continue to represent a substantial portion of our revenue. In addition, several of our manufacturers’ facilities and suppliers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, our future results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:
|
·
|
changes in a specific country’s or region’s political or economic conditions, particularly in emerging markets;
|
|
·
|
tariff and trade policies;
|
|
·
|
export license requirements and restrictions of the export of technology;
|
|
·
|
domestic and foreign tax policies;
|
|
·
|
foreign governmental regulations;
|
|
·
|
difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations;
|
|
·
|
ongoing health epidemics;
|
|
·
|
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
|
|
·
|
stability of international monetary conditions;
|
|
·
|
differing labor regulations;
|
|
·
|
political unrest, war, actual or threatened acts of terrorism, other international conflicts and the resulting military, economic and political responses (including, without limitation, war between sovereign nations) as well as heightened security measures which may cause significant disruption to commerce worldwide;
|
|
·
|
differing protection of intellectual property; and
|
|
·
|
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements.
|
Our products may contain defects that cause us to incur significant corrective costs, divert our attention from product development efforts and result in a loss of customers.
Highly complex products such as our high-technology frequency, timing and synchronization products may contain defects when they are installed in our customers’ systems. If any of our products contain defects or have reliability, quality or compatibility problems, our reputation may be damaged and customers may be reluctant to buy our products. In addition, these defects could interrupt or delay sales. We may have to invest significant capital and other resources to alleviate these problems. If any problem remains undiscovered until after we have commenced production of a new product, we may be required to incur additional development costs and product recall, repair or replacement costs. These problems may also result in claims against us by our customers or others. In addition, these problems may divert our technical and other resources from other development efforts.
If we fail to manage our operations effectively, our business could suffer.
Our ability to offer products and implement our business plan successfully in a rapidly evolving market requires effective planning and management. Failure by our management or personnel to properly allocate resources to meet our current and existing needs as well as unforeseen complications and inefficiencies in planning our operations can adversely impact the morale of our personnel and lead to further complications and operational inefficiencies. If this were to occur, our profitability or financial position could be negatively impacted and our operating results could suffer.
Claims that we infringe third-party intellectual property rights could result in significant expenses or restrictions on our ability to sell our products.
There can be no assurance that our products do not or will not infringe issued patents or the intellectual property rights of others. Historically, patent applications in the United States have not been publicly disclosed until the patent is issued, and we may not be aware of filed patent applications that relate to our products or technology. If patents are later issued in connection with these applications, we may be liable for infringement. Periodically, other parties, including some of our competitors, may assert patent, copyright and other rights to technologies in various jurisdictions that are important to our business. Any claims asserting that our products infringe or may infringe the rights of third parties, including claims arising through our contractual indemnification of our customers, regardless of their merit or resolution, would likely be costly and time-consuming, divert the efforts of our technical and management personnel, cause product shipment delays or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. Royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If any material claims do arise and if these claims cannot be resolved through a license or similar arrangement, we could become a party to litigation. The results of any litigation are inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result in any litigation with third parties that could arise in the future, we could be required to pay substantial damages, including treble damages if we are held to have willfully infringed, to cease the manufacture, use and sale of infringing products, to expend significant resources to develop non-infringing technology, or to obtain licenses to the infringing technology. In addition, lawsuits, regardless of their success, would likely be time consuming and expensive to resolve and would divert management time and attention from our business.
Any failure to protect our intellectual property adequately may significantly harm our business.
We protect our proprietary processes, software, know-how and other intellectual property and related rights through copyrights, patents, trademarks and the maintenance of trade secrets, including entering into confidentiality agreements. Our success and ability to compete depend in part on our proprietary technology. However, we cannot provide any assurance that other companies will not develop technologies that are similar to our technology. Although we have patent applications pending, patents may not issue as a result of these or other patent applications. Any patents that ultimately issue may be successfully challenged or invalidated, or may not provide us with a significant competitive advantage. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, existing laws in the United States and in differing international jurisdictions and our contractual arrangements provide only limited protection. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Third parties may breach confidentiality agreements or other protective contracts with us and we may not be able to enforce our rights in the event of these breaches.
Monitoring unauthorized use of our products is difficult and may be expensive, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property, particularly in foreign countries where the laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States. We may be required to spend significant resources to protect our intellectual property rights, including pursuing remedies in court. We may become involved in legal proceedings against other parties, which may also cause other parties to assert claims against us. In the future, we may not be able to detect infringements and may lose our competitive position in our markets before we do so. In addition, competitors may design around our technologies or develop competing technologies. The laws of other countries in which we market our products might offer little or no effective protection of our proprietary technology. Reverse engineering, unauthorized copying or other misappropriation of our proprietary technology could enable third parties to benefit from our technology without payment, which could significantly harm our business. Our failure to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights or any adverse change in the laws protecting intellectual property rights could harm our business. Furthermore, we may become involved in legal proceedings against other parties, which may also cause other parties to assert claims against us.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our common stock by us or by our existing stockholders could cause our stock price to fall.
Additional equity financings or other share issuances by us could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Sales by existing stockholders of a large number of shares of our common stock in the public trading market (or in private transactions) such as this offering by the Selling Stockholders, or the perception that such additional sales could occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to drop.
Some of our revenue is generated from a limited number of key customers and the loss of a key customer could substantially reduce our revenues.
A large portion of our sales are generated from a small number of key customers at each of our segments. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Boeing Corporation and Thales Alenia Space each accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues and more than 60% of the FEI-NY segment’s sales. Telecommunications operators such as The Belgacom Group and France Telecom S.A., and other service providers are among Gillam-FEI’s major customers, with The Belgacom Group accounting for more than 10% of that segment’s revenues for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012. For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, approximately 46% of our sales were made under contracts to the U.S. Government or subcontracts for U.S. Government end-use. We expect that our major customers in the aggregate will continue to account for a large portion of our consolidated sales in the foreseeable future, and the loss of one or more of these customers would materially harm our business and operating results. The loss of a key customer could also be perceived as a loss of momentum in our business and an adverse impact on our financial results, and this may cause the market price of our common stock to fall.
We are subject to anti-takeover provisions that could delay or prevent an acquisition of our Company.
We are subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us. These factors could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock and may also limit the ability of stockholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests.
The statements contained in or incorporated by reference in this reoffer prospectus regarding the future constitute “forward-looking” statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Factors that would cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, inability to integrate operations and personnel, actions by significant customers or competitors, general domestic and international economic conditions, consumer spending trends, reliance on key customers, continued acceptance of our products in the marketplace, competitive factors, new products and technological changes, product prices and raw material costs, dependence upon third-party vendors, competitive developments, changes in manufacturing and transportation costs, the availability of capital, and other risks detailed in our periodic report filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. By making these forward-looking statements, we undertake no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this reoffer prospectus.
The proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered pursuant to this reoffer prospectus are solely for the account of the Selling Stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

|
|

|
|
·
|
the number of shares of common stock that have been or may be acquired by each Selling Stockholder in connection with grants of awards pursuant to the Plans, some or all of which shares may be sold pursuant to this reoffer prospectus; and
|
|
·
|

Ownership percentages are based on 8,463,350 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 30, 2013. With respect to each person, percentage ownership is calculated by dividing the number of shares beneficially owned by such person by the sum of the number of outstanding shares at such date and the number of shares such person has been issued or has the right to acquire upon exercise of stock options or settlement of stock appreciation rights that have vested or are currently exercisable (as applicable) and that will vest or become exercisable (as applicable) on or before July 29, 2013.

Each sale may be made either at the market price prevailing at the time of sale or at a negotiated price. Sales may be made through brokers or to dealers, and such brokers or dealers may receive compensation in the form of commissions or discounts not exceeding those customary in similar transactions. Any shares covered by this reoffer prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this reoffer prospectus. All expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering are being borne by us, but all brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred by a Selling Stockholder will be borne by that Selling Stockholder. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Shares.
The Selling Stockholders and any dealer acting in connection with the offering or any broker executing a sell order on behalf of a Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, in which event any profit on the sale of shares by a Selling Stockholder and any commissions or discounts received by any such broker or dealer may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. In addition, any such broker or dealer may be required to deliver a copy of this reoffer prospectus to any person who purchases any of the shares from or through such broker or dealer.
