E.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.
The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. The fair value of grantsHistorical Company information was calculated using historicalthe basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718, Stock Compensation,The Company also requiresestimates forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised,revises, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon past history of actual performance, forfeiture rates ranging from zero percent to ten percent have been assumed for options granted.
Restricted stock awards are grantedmade at a value equal to the market price of ourthe Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

7
On May 8, 2015,
There were no stock option awards or restricted stock awards granted during the Board of Directors granted 37,296 restricted shares of the Company's common stock to Michael J. Ferrantino, Sr., pursuant to the Company's 2011 Incentive Plan. These shares vested in full on the grant date. Total stock-based compensation expense for this grant was $160,000.

Onthree months ended March 12, 2015, the Board of Directors granted a total of 32,000 options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to members of executive management pursuant to the Company's 2011 Incentive Plan. These stock options have an exercise price of $4.15, a five-year life expiring on March 12, 2020, and vest as follows: 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date; an additional 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date; and the remaining 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date. These stock options have a grant date fair value of $1.03 per option.

Compensation expense related to share-based compensation is recognized over the applicable vesting periods.31, 2016. As of June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, there was approximately $73,000$31,000 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements.

F.Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share ("ASC 260").  Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share adjusts basic loss per share for the effects of stock options, non-participating restricted common stock, and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive. Shares of restricted stock granted to members of the Board of Directors as a portion of their director fees are deemed to be participating as defined by ASC 260 and therefore are included in the computation of basic loss per share.

Unexercised stockFor the three months ended  March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were options to purchase 189,023117,226 shares and 247,493203,450 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively,warrants to purchase 519,241 shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted loss per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such stock options would have been anti-dilutive during the respective periods.

G.Stockholders' Equity

On August 29, 2011, the Board authorized the Company to repurchase up to 100,000 shares of its common stock in accordance with applicable securities laws. This authorization increased the total number of shares authorized and available for repurchase under the Company's existing share repurchase program to 540,000 shares, at such times, amounts and prices as the Company shall deem appropriate. As of June 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, the Company had repurchased a total of 79,664 shares of common stock at a cost of $572,000, which shares are currently held in treasury.

On August 6, 2013, the Company distributed warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock as a dividend to holders of the Company's common stock on July 29, 2013, the record date for the dividend. Stockholders received five warrants for each share of the Company's common stock owned on the record date. When exercisable, 25 warrants will entitle their holder to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $7.50 per share (subject to adjustment).
The warrants are "European style warrants" and will only become exercisable on the earlier of (i) their expiration date, August 6, 2018, and (ii) such date that the 30-day volume weighted average price per share, or VWAP, of the Company's common stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 (subject to adjustment). Once the warrants become exercisable, they may be exercised in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement between the Company and the warrant agent until their expiration at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the expiration date.

The warrants are traded separately from the Company's common stockquoted on the NYSE MKTover-the-counter market under the symbol "LGL WS"."LGLPW."

Level 1.Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

8
Level 2.Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in less active markets, or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions.

Level 3.Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that we were unable to corroborate with observable market data.

The following is a summary of valuation techniques utilized by the Company for its significant financial and non-financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014:2015:

Assets

To estimate the fair value of its equity and U.S. Treasury securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands).

The Company also has assets that may be subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including goodwill and intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. The Company reviews the carrying value of these assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. If it is determined that the assets are impaired, the carrying value would be reduced to estimated fair value.

J.Income Taxes

The Company has a total federal net operating loss ("NOL") carry-forward of $9,471,000 as of December 31, 2014. This NOL carry-forward expires through 2034 if not utilized prior to that date. The Company has total state NOL carry-forwards of $21,780,000 as of December 31, 2014. These NOL carry-forwards expire through 2034 if not utilized prior to that date. The Company has research and development tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $1,285,000 at December 31, 2014, that can be used to reduce future U.S. income tax liabilities and expire principally between 2020 and 2034. The Company has foreign tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $359,000 at December 31, 2014, that are available to reduce future U.S. income tax liabilities subject to certain limitations. These foreign tax credit carry-forwards expire at various times between 2018 and 2020. Additionally, the Company has federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) credits of approximately $111,000 at December 31, 2014, that are available to offset future U.S. federal tax liabilities, and have no expiration.

Based on the Company's assessment of the uncertainty surrounding the realization of the favorable U.S. tax attributes in future tax returns in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company has determined that a full valuation allowance against our otherwise recognizable U.S. net deferred tax assets is required. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. When assessing the need for valuation allowances, the Company considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should a change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ability to realize deferred tax assets in future years, the Company will adjust related valuation allowances in the period that the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or charge to income.

K.Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may become defendants in certain product liability, patent infringement, worker claims and other litigation.  The Company records a liability when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising in the normal course of business, none of which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

L.K.Related Party Transactions

At June 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, approximately $4,091,000 and $4,089,000, respectively, was invested in United States Treasury money market funds managed by a related entity (the "Fund Manager") which is related through a common director.

On September 30, 2014, MtronPTI entered into a Loan Agreement (the "CNB Loan Agreement"), with City National Bank of Florida ("City National"). The CNB Loan Agreement provides for a revolving line of credit in the amount of $3.0 million (the "CNB Revolver"), which bears interest at a variable rate equal to 30-day LIBOR plus 200 basis points to be set on the first day of each month. Under the terms of themonth, and expires on September 30, 2016. The CNB Loan Agreement andalso provides that MtronPTI will pay City National a fee equal to 0.75% per year on the CNB Revolving Promissory Note (as defined below), MtronPTI may borrow under the CNB Revolver until September 30, 2016, unless the term of the CNB Revolving Promissory Note is extended.

The CNB Loan Agreement provides that MtronPTI will pay City National a fee equal to 0.75% per year on the daily unused amount of the CNB Revolving Promissory Note.

In connection with the CNB Loan Agreement, MtronPTI also entered into a Cash Collateral Agreement with City National (the "CNB Cash Collateral Agreement") and delivered a Revolving Promissory Note in the principal amount of $3.0 million to City National (the "CNB Revolving Promissory Note").
12
The CNB Cash Collateral Agreement provides that MtronPTI will hold cash collateral equal to any amounts outstanding under the CNB Revolver in a non-interest bearing deposit account with City National. Provided that MtronPTI is not in default of any of its obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement, the CNB Revolving Promissory Note or the CNB Cash Collateral Agreement, the funds collateralizing the CNB Revolver are restricted only to the extent of the outstanding principal amount under the CNB Revolver. As of June 30, 2015At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2014,2015, there was no balance outstanding under the CNB Revolver and no associated restricted cash.

The CNB Loan Agreement, the CNB Revolving Promissory Note and the CNB Cash Collateral Agreement provide for customary events of default, including but not limited to payment defaults, breach of other obligations under the CNB Loan Agreement, the CNB Revolving Promissory Note and the CNB Cash Collateral Agreement, bankruptcy or insolvency, material default with respect to any obligation owed to City National and default with respect to other material indebtedness.

The Company believes that existing cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet its ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months.  However, the Company may seek additional capital to fund future growth in its business, to provide flexibility to respond to dynamic market conditions, or to fund its strategic growth objectives.

The Board has adhered to a practice of not paying cash dividends.  This policy takes into account our long-term growth objectives, including our anticipated investments for organic growth, potential technology acquisitions or other strategic ventures, and stockholders' desire for capital appreciation of their holdings.  No cash dividends have been paid to the Company's stockholders since January 30, 1989, and none are expected to be paid for the foreseeable future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Our estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that we consider to be reasonable given the circumstances. Actual results may vary from our estimates.

The Company's most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, accounts receivable allowance, valuation of inventories, accounting for warranty obligations, accounting for income taxes, and accounting for stock-based compensation.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its productproducts in accordance with the criteria in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, which are:

‒Persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists;

‒Delivery has occurredoccurred;

‒The seller's price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and

‒Collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company meets these conditions upon shipment because title and risk of loss passes to the customer at that time.  However, the Company offers a limited right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions in its agreements with certain electronic component distributors who resell the Company's products to original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing services companies.  As a result, the Company estimates and records a reserve for future returns and other charges against revenue at the time of shipment consistent with the terms of sale. The reserve is estimated based on historical experience with each respective distributor.  The amount of the reserve at June 30,March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, is not material to the financial statements.

The Company recognizes revenue related to transactions with a right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions when the following conditions are met:

Accounts Receivable Allowance

Accounts receivable on a consolidated basis consists principally of amounts due from both domestic and foreign customers.  Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition and collateral is not generally required.  In relation to export sales, the Company generally requires letters of credit supporting a significant portion of the sales price prior to production to limit exposure to credit risk.  Certain credit sales are made to industries that are subject to cyclical economic changes.
15

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments.  Estimates are based on historical collection experience, current trends, credit policy and relationship between accounts receivable and revenues.  In determining these estimates, the Company examines historical write-offs of its receivables and reviews each client's account to identify any specific customer collection issues.  If the financial condition of its customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payment, additional allowances might be required.  The Company's failure to estimate the losses for doubtful accounts accurately and ensure that payments are received on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (based on a first-in, first-out method),using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method and market value (net realizable value).value.

The Company maintains a reserve for inventory obsolescence based on estimated losses that result from inventory that becomes obsolete as of period end. In determining these estimates, the Company performs an analysis on demand and usage for each inventory item over historical time periods.  Based on that analysis, the Company reserves a percentage of the inventory amount within each time period based on historical demand and usage patterns of specific items in inventory.

Warranties

The Company offers a standard one-year warranty. The Company tests its products prior to shipment in order to ensure that they meet each customer's requirements based upon specifications received from each customer at the time its order is received and accepted. The Company's customers may request to return products for various reasons, including but not limited to the customers' belief that the products are not performing to specification. The Company's return policy states that it will accept product returns only with prior authorization and if the product does not meet customer specifications, in which case the product would be replaced or repaired. To accommodate the Company's customers, each request for return is reviewed, and if and when it is approved, a return materials authorization ("RMA") is issued to the customer. Each month the Company records a specific warranty reserve for approved RMAs covering products that have not yet been returned. The Company does not maintain a general warranty reserve because, historically, valid warranty returns resulting from a product not meeting specifications or being non-functional have been immaterial.

Income Taxes

Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. The future recoverability of the Company's net deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carry forwards. The Company maintains a full valuation allowance against the Company's net deferred tax assets.  The valuation allowance was calculated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740,Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both positive and negative evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance.  We intend to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures the cost of employee services in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and recognizes the cost over the requisite service period, typically the vesting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. There is no expected dividend rate. Historical Company information was the basis for the expected volatility assumption as the Company believes that the historical volatility over the life of the option is indicative of expected volatility in the future. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon rates with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option. The Company also estimates forfeitures at the time of grant and revises, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Based upon past history of actual performance, forfeiture rates ranging from zero percent to twentyten percent have been assumed for options granted.
16

Stock awards are made at a value equal to the market price of the Company's common stock on the date of the grant.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
