BLONDER TONGUE LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
(In ~~thousands)~~thousands, except per share data)

Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a technology-development and manufacturing company that delivers television signal encoding, transcoding, digital transport, and broadband product solutions to the cable markets the Company serves, including the multi-dwelling unit market, the lodging/hospitality market and the institutional market including, hospitals, prisons and schools, primarily throughout the United States and Canada. The ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results for the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2015~~2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year and have not been audited. The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair ~~statement of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015.~~presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with ~~accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have~~GAAPhave been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto that were included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2014, filed with the SEC on March 21,~~ 2015.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2015,~~March 31, 2016, the Company ~~experienced a decline in sales, a reduction in working capital,~~ reported a loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities, in conjunction with liquidity constraints. Furthermore, the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan will expire by their terms on ~~February~~June 1, 2016, unless extended. The above factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

In response to lower than expected sales due to a slowdown in market activities experienced during the ~~first half of the~~prior fiscal year, the Company implemented a ~~two-phase~~multi-phase cost-reduction program in 2015 which is expected to reduce annualized expenses by approximately ~~$2,100,~~$2,850, including a temporary reduction in certain executive salaries, a decrease in workforce and a decrease in engineering consulting expenses. ~~In September 2015, the Company then developed and implemented a third phase cost reduction plan, which is expected to further reduce annualized expenses by approximately $750.~~

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity are its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Santander Financing and the Subordinated Loan Facility (as such terms are defined in Note 6 below). As of ~~September 30, 2015,~~March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately ~~$2,539~~$2,854 outstanding under the Revolver (as defined in Note 6 below) and ~~$483~~$393 of additional availability for borrowing under the Revolver. As indicated in Note 6 below, the Subordinated Loan Facility provides the Company with up to $750 of additional liquidity, of which $250 remains available for borrowing at March 31, 2016. The Company expects to either obtain an extension ofon the maturity date or refinance all or part of the Santander indebtedness prior to ~~February~~June 1, 2016. If anticipated operating results are not achieved, ~~and~~ and/or sufficient funds are not obtained from the Company’s expected extension or refinancing of the Santander Financing, further reductions in operating expenses may be needed and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

The Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to refinance its current debt obligations. If the Company is unable to refinance, it may be required to take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash in amounts sufficient to sustain operations and meet its ~~obligations.~~obligations, which measures may be insufficient to enable the Company to continue as a going concern.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components of those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with Topic 815 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option at its fair value as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

The Binomial Lattice Model was used to estimate the fair value of the conversion options that is classified as a derivative liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the conversion options.

Conversion options are recorded as a discount to the host instrument and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying instrument.

The Company measures fair value of its financial assets on a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs, used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

The derivative liability is measured at fair value using quoted market prices and estimated volatility factors based on historical quoted market prices for the Company’s common stock, and is classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings Per Share,” which provides for the calculation of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings (loss) per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net earnings ~~(loss)~~ by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options. The diluted share base excludes incremental shares of ~~2,183~~1,924 and ~~1,015~~841 related to stock options for the three month periods ended ~~September 30,~~March 31, 2016 and 2015, ~~and 2014, respectively and 1,799 and 1,443 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014,~~ respectively. These shares were excluded due to their antidilutive effect.

In ~~July 2015,~~March, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“(“FASB”)issued Accounting Standards Update ((““ASU”)ASU ~~No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory: Topic 330 (“~~~~ASU 2015-11”~~)2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Topic 330 currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. Market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. ASU 2015-11 requires that inventory measured using either the first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost method be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Adoption of ASU 2015-11 is required for fiscal reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect adoption of ASU 2015-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-12 “Plan Accounting: Defined Benefit Pension Plans (Topic 960), Defined Contribution Pension Plans (Topic 962), Health and Welfare Benefit Plans (Topic 965): Part I. Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contract; Part II. Plan Investment Disclosures; Part III. Measurement Date Practical Expedient” (“ASU 2015-12”). ASU 2015-12 Part II simplifies the disclosure of plan assets by removing the requirement to disaggregate the fair value of assets disclosed by general type. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. ASU 2015-12 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and early adoption is permitted. Accordingly, theThis standard is ~~effective~~intended to improve the accounting for ~~the Company on January 1, 2016.~~

~~In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-4, “Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation~~employee share-based payments and ~~Plan Assets”~~affects all organizations that issue share based payment awards to ~~provide a practical expedient related to the measurement date~~their employees. Several aspects of the ~~defined benefit plan assets~~accounting for share -based payment award transactions are simplified, including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and ~~obligations.~~classification on the statement of cash flows. The practical expedient allows employers with fiscal year-end dates that do not coincide with a calendar month-end to measure pension and post-retirement benefit plan assets and obligations as of the calendar month-end date closest to the fiscal year-end. The standard requires entities that elect the practical expedient to adjust the measurement of benefit plan assets and obligations for contributions or significant events between the month end measurement date and the entity’s fiscal year end. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier~~2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company ~~does~~has not ~~expect~~yet determined the effect of adoption of ~~ASU 2015-4 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.~~

The FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the SEC have issued certain accounting standards updates and regulations as of September 30, 2015 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of the Company does not believe that any of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during 2015 or 2014, and does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impactthis standard on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements at the time they become effective.~~

~~BLONDER TONGUE LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~position and results of operations.

~~(unaudited)~~March, 2016, the FASB issuedASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. This standard clarifies the required steps to be taken when assessing whether the economic characteristics and risks of call/put options are clearly and closely related to those of their debt hosts- which is one of the criteria for bifurcating an embedded derivative. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect of adoption of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined by the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method, or market.

The Company periodically analyzes anticipated product sales based on historical results, current backlog and marketing plans. Based on these analyses, the Company anticipates that certain products will not be sold during the next twelve months. Inventories that are not anticipated to be sold in the next twelve months, have been classified as non-current.

Approximately ~~100%~~72% and ~~66%~~73% of the non-current inventories were comprised of finished goods at both ~~September 30, 2015~~March 31, 2016 and December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, respectively. The Company has established a program to use interchangeable parts in its various product offerings and to modify certain of its finished goods to better match customer demands. In addition, the Company has instituted additional marketing programs to dispose of the slower moving inventories. ~~During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company increased the inventory reserve by $1,008 and $1,026, respectively.~~

The Company continually analyzes its slow-moving and excess inventories. Based on historical and projected sales volumes for finished goods, historical and projected usage of raw materials and anticipated selling prices, the Company establishes reserves. Inventory that is in excess of current and projected use is reduced by an allowance to a level that approximates its estimate of future demand. Products that are determined to be obsolete are written down to net realizable value.

On August 6, 2008, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Sovereign Bank, N.A.) through its Sovereign Business Capital division (“Santander”), pursuant to which the Company obtained an $8,000 credit facility from Santander (the “Santander Financing”). The Company and Santander entered into a series of amendments to the foregoing Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as so amended, the “Santander Agreement”), ~~including the Seventh Amendment referenced below,~~ which, among other things, adjusted the Santander Financing to ~~$8,783~~$7,567 consisting of (i) a ~~$5,000~~$4,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and (ii) a ~~$3,783~~$3,567 term loan facility (“Term Loan”), each expiring on ~~February~~June 1, 2016. The amounts which may be borrowed under the Revolver are based on certain percentages of Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory, as such terms are defined in the Santander Agreement. The obligations of the Company under the Santander Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

Under the Santander Agreement, the Revolver currently bears interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate announced from time to time by Santander(“Prime”) plus 1.50% or the LIBOR rate plus 4.25%. The Term Loan currently bears interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 1.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 4.50%. Prime was ~~3.25%~~3.50% at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016. LIBOR rate loans under the Santander Agreement may be borrowed for interest periods of one, three or six months. The LIBOR rates for interest periods of one-month, three-months and six-months were ~~0.19%~~0.44%, ~~0.32%~~0.63% and ~~0.53%~~0.90%, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Fourteenth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The ~~per annum interest rates above became effective on January 21, 2015, pursuant to~~Fourteenth Amendment extended the ~~terms~~termination date of the ~~Seventh~~Santander Agreement and the “Additional Availability Period” under the Santander Agreement from March 1, 2016 to June 1, 2016. In addition, the Fourteenth Amendment ~~described below.~~amended certain of the Company’s financial covenants. In particular, the amended covenants relaxed the previous balance sheet leverage ratio compliance threshold of 1.25:1.00, and required that the Company maintain a balance sheet leverage ratio of not more than (i) 1.85 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2015 and (ii) 2.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2016. In addition, the amended covenants relaxed the previous EBITDA compliance threshold and required that the Company achieve EBITDA thresholds of not less than (i) negative (-) $3,897 as of December 31, 2015 (calculated on a trailing twelve month basis) and (ii) $50 as of March 31, 2016 (calculated on a trailing three month basis). The Fourteenth Amendment also required that the Subordinated Lenders provide the Company with advances under the Subordinated Loan Facility in an aggregate amount (taking into account all prior advances) of $500, not later than March 31, 2016. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants provided in the Fourteenth Amendment.

On February 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Thirteenth Amendment extended the termination date of the Santander Agreement and the “Additional Availability Period” under the Santander Agreement from February 1, 2016 to March 1, 2016. In addition, the Thirteenth Amendment reduced the maximum loan amount available under the Loan Agreement from $9,350 to $8,350 and reduced the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolver from $5,000 to $4,000.

On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the Santander Agreement to facilitate the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital through the issuance of equity or subordinated debt securities or the entry into subordinated loan arrangements following the date of the Twelfth Amendment. In particular, the Twelfth Amendment modified terms of the Santander Agreement that had restricted the incurrence of indebtedness and the creation of liens, to allow the Company to incur indebtedness that is subordinate to the indebtedness under the Santander Agreement and to permit that indebtedness to be secured, provided that any security would also be subordinate to the obligations and liens under the Santander Agreement. In addition, the Twelfth Amendment modified the restrictions on the Company’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates to permit the issuance of equity or subordinated debt securities to one or more affiliates or the entry into subordinated loan arrangements with one or more affiliates. The Twelfth Amendment also excluded the proceeds of any permitted equity or debt financing from the collateral subject to Santander’s lien under the Santander Agreement, until such time as and to the extent, such proceeds were utilized for the Company’s working capital or other general corporate purposes.

On November 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Eleventh Amendment (i) waived the Company’s failure of compliance with the Minimum EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants for the measurement period ended September 30, 2015, effective as of September 30, 2015, and (ii) increased the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 25% to 35% through and until February 1, 2016, after which it ~~will~~was to revert back to 25%. The Eleventh Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company ~~agreed to pay~~paid Santander an amendment fee of ~~$50, which is payable in ten weekly installments of $5 each.~~$50.

On October 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Tenth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Tenth Amendment extended the increase in the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 25% to 35% through and until November 30, 2015, after which it ~~will~~was to revert back to 25%. The Tenth Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Tenth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $5.

On August 12, 2015, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Ninth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Ninth Amendment waived the Company’s failure of compliance with the Minimum EBITDA covenant for the measurement period ended June 30, 2015, effective as of June 30, 2015, and also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Ninth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $20.

On May 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Eighth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Eighth Amendment (i) waived the Company’s failure of compliance with the Minimum EBITDA covenant for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, effective as of March 31, 2015, and (ii) increased the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 25% to 35% through and until September 30, 2015, after which it ~~will~~was to revert back to 25%. The Eighth Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Eighth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $15. The Eighth Amendment iswas in lieu of the Temporary Overadvance Facility, as more fully discussed in the next ~~following~~ paragraph.

On March 30, 2015, Santander agreed to provide the Company with $500 of additional availability beyond its borrowing base under the Revolver (the “Temporary Overadvance Facility”) during the period April 1, 2015 through April 24, 2015, for which the Company paid Santander an accommodation fee of $2.5. Under the agreement, the Company was required to eliminate the outstanding balance under the Temporary Overadvance Facility on or before September 30, 2015, which was accomplished prior to entering into the Eight Amendment.

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Seventh Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Seventh Amendment (i) extended by one year the Termination Date of the Santander Agreement from February 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016; (ii) continued the installment payments of principal under the Term Loan at the same monthly payment of $18 per month for the additional year until the final payment of unpaid principal and interest is due on February 1, 2016; (iii) increased the interest rates applicable to the Revolver and the Term Loan by one quarter of one percent (0.25%); and (iv) reset and modified the Minimum EBITDA covenant to address the term being extended by one year. The Seventh Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. The Company paid a $15 amendment fee to Santander in connection with the Seventh Amendment.

~~On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “~~~~Sixth Amendment~~”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Sixth Amendment (i) reduced the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolver from $6,000 to $5,000, (ii) increased the interest rates applicable to the Revolver and the Term Loan by three quarters of one percent, (iii) modified the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio covenant to eliminate the testing thereof with respect to the trailing 12-month period ended as of December 31, 2013, (iv) eliminated the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant with respect to all periods after December 31, 2013, (v) modified the minimum EBITDA covenant to (a) eliminate the testing thereof with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, (b) change the manner of calculation thereof, and (c) impose a quarterly building minimum EBITDA covenant test, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2014, and thereafter for the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014, the three fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2014, the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014 and thereafter quarterly on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis, (vi) reduced the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 50% to 35%, with a further reduction in such advance rate to 25% effective on or about June 27, 2014 and (vii) reduced the sublimit on advances against such Eligible Inventory from $3,000 to $2,000. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $45.

Upon ~~termination~~expiration of the Revolver, all outstanding borrowings under the Revolver are due. The outstanding principal balance of the Revolver was ~~$2,539~~$2,854 at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016. The Term Loan requires equal monthly principal payments of approximately $18 each, plus interest, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was ~~$3,622~~$3,531 at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016.

The Santander Agreement contains customary representations and warranties as well as affirmative and negative covenants, including certain financial covenants. The Santander Agreement contains customary events of default, including, among others, non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due.

On March 28, 2016 the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, R.L. Drake Holdings, LLC (“RLD”), as borrowers and Robert J. Pallé, as agent (in such capacity “Agent”) and as a lender, together with Carol M. Pallé, Steven Shea and James H. Williams as lenders (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) entered into a certain Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Convertible Loan and Security Agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Subordinated Lenders agreed to provide the Company with a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $750 (“Subordinated Loan Facility”), under which individual advances in amounts not less than $50 may be drawn by the Company. Interest on the outstanding balance under the Subordinated Loan Facility from time to time, accrues at 12% per annum (subject to increase under certain circumstances) and is payable monthly in-kind by the automatic increase of the principal amount of the loan on each monthly interest payment date, by the amount of the accrued interest payable at that time (“PIK Interest”); provided, however, that at the option of the Company, it may pay interest in cash on any interest payment date, in lieu of PIK Interest. The Subordinated Lenders have the option of converting the principal balance of the loan, in whole (unless otherwise agreed by the Company), into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). This conversion right is subject to any necessary stockholder approval required by the rules of the NYSE MKT, and the Company has agreed to submit a proposal at its 2016 annual meeting to obtain stockholder approval. The obligations of the Company and RLD under the Subordinated Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and RLD’s assets, including by a mortgage against the Old Bridge Property (the “Subordinated Mortgage”). The Subordinated Loan Agreement terminates three years from the date of closing, at which time the accreted principal balance of the loan (by virtue of the PIK Interest) plus any other accrued unpaid interest, will be due and payable in full.

In connection with the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the Company, RLD, the Subordinated Lenders and Santander entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”), pursuant to which the rights of the Subordinated Lenders under the Subordinated Loan Agreement and the Subordinated Mortgage are subordinate to the rights of Santander under the Santander Loan Agreement and related security documents. The Subordination Agreement precludes the Company from making cash payments of interest in lieu of PIK Interest, in the absence of the prior written consent of Santander.

As of March 31, 2016, the Subordinated Lenders have advanced $500 to the Company. In addition, $6 of PIK interest has been accrued in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in the its Subordinated Loan Agreement issued in March 2016 in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that the conversion option has all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, the exercise price of the conversion option entitles the Subordinated Lenders to an adjustment of the exercise price in the event that the Company subsequently issues equity securities or equity linked securities at prices more favorable than the exercise price of the conversion option embedded in the Subordinated Loan Agreement. Accordingly, the conversion option is not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Due to the derivative treatment of the conversion option, the Company recorded a $177 derivative liability as a debt discount at March 31, 2016 which also correlated to the measurement date. The Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the date of issuance and the reporting date using a binomial lattice model with the following assumption: stock price of $0.38, conversion price of $0.54, volatility of 91%, expected term of 3 years, risk free rate of 0.87% and dividend yield 0%. Since the measurement and balance sheet dates were the same, there was no change in the fair value of the derivative liability and no accretion of the debt discount occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The Subordinated Loan Agreement amended and restated a prior agreement entered into on February 11, 2016 between the Company and RLD, as borrowers and Robert J. Pallé and Carol M. Pallé, as lenders (the “Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. and Mrs. Pallé had agreed to provide the Company with a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $600 on terms substantially similar to those terms set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement, including the conversion rights and pledge of Company assets to secure the loan. Aggregate advances under the Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement were $300 and such balances have transferred over to and now constitute outstanding balances under the Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement was amended and restated by the Subordinated Loan Agreement in order to increase the amount available for borrowing by the Company in an effort to further enhance the Company’s capital resources and liquidity.

The Company ~~may be~~is a party to certain proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business, none of which, in the ~~current~~ opinion of management, ~~may be~~is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing of its ~~condensed~~ consolidated financial statements with the SEC.

The Company was incorporated in November, 1988, under the laws of Delaware as GPS Acquisition Corp. for the purpose of acquiring the business of Blonder-Tongue Laboratories, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, which was founded in 1950 by Ben H. Tongue and Isaac S. Blonder to design, manufacture and supply a line of electronics and systems equipment principally for the private cable industry. Following the acquisition, the Company changed its name to Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. The Company completed the initial public offering of its shares of Common Stock in December, 1995.

Today, the Company is a technology-development and manufacturing company that delivers a wide range of products and services to the cable entertainment and media industry. For 65 years, Blonder Tongue/Drake products have been deployed in a long list of locations, including lodging/hospitality, multi-dwelling units/apartments, broadcast studios/networks, education universities/schools, healthcare hospitals/fitness centers, government facilities/offices, prisons, airports, sports stadiums/arenas, entertainment venues/casinos, retail stores, and small-medium businesses. These applications are variously described as commercial, institutional and/or enterprise environments and will be referred to herein collectively as “CIE”. The customers we serve include business entities installing private video and data networks in these environments, whether they are the largest cable television operators, telco or satellite providers, integrators, architects, engineers or the next generation of Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”) streaming video providers. The technology requirements of these markets change rapidly and the Company’s research and development team is continually delivering high performance-lower cost solutions to meet customers’ needs.

The Company’s strategy is focused on providing a wide range of products to meet the needs of the CIE environments described above (e.g., hotels, hospitals, prisons, schools, etc.), and to provide offerings that are optimized for an operator’s existing infrastructure, as well as the operator’s future strategy. A key component of this growth strategy is to provide products that deliver the latest technologies (such as IPTV and digital SD and HD video content) and have a high performance-to-cost ratio.

The Company has seen a continuing long-term shift in product mix from analog products to digital products and expects this shift to continue. Sales of digital video headend products were $3,291,000 and $2,109,000 in the first three months of 2016 and 2015, respectively, while sales of analog video headend products were $577,000 and $1,040,000 in the first three months of 2016 and 2015, respectively. Any substantial decrease in sales of analog products without a related increase in digital products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Despite this long-term trend, sales of digital video headend products were $2,610,000 and $4,508,000 in the third three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively and $7,115,000 and $12,034,000 in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Likewise, sales of analog video headend products were $930,000 and $2,318,000 in the third three months of 2015 and 2014, respectively and $2,843,000 and $5,979,000 in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 respectively.

The Company’s manufacturing is allocated primarily between its facility in Old Bridge, New Jersey the (“Old Bridge Facility”) and a key contract manufacturer located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). The Company currently manufactures most of its digital products, including the latest encoder and EdgeQAM collections at the Old Bridge Facility. Since 2007 the Company has transitioned and continues to manufacture certain high volume, labor intensive products, including many of the Company’s analog products, in the PRC, pursuant to a manufacturing agreement that governs the production of products that may from time to time be the subject of purchase orders submitted by (and in the discretion of) the Company. The Company may transition additional products to the PRC if determined by the Company to be advantageous based upon changing business and market conditions. Manufacturing products both at the Company’s Old Bridge Facility as well as in the PRC, enables the Company to realize cost reductions while maintaining a competitive position and time-to-market advantage.

The ~~decrease~~increase was primarily due to ~~a decrease~~an increase in overall sales. The ~~increase~~decrease as a percentage of sales was primarily attributed to an overall ~~increase~~reduction in manufacturing overhead, ~~an increase in inventory reserve of $900,000,~~ as well as a ~~less~~more favorable product mix.

Selling Expenses. Selling expenses decreased to ~~$776,000~~$652,000 for the ~~third~~first three months of 2016 from $843,000 in the first three months of 2015, ~~from $807,000 in the third three months of 2014, but increased~~and decreased as percentage of sales to ~~13.6%~~11.0% for the ~~third~~first three months of ~~2015~~2016 from ~~9.3%~~17.8% for the ~~third~~first three months of ~~2014.~~2015. The $31,000 decrease was primarily the result of a reduction in salary expense (including fringe benefits) of $94,000 due to a decrease in headcount and by a reduction of $54,000 due to the closing of our Canadian facility offset by an increase in royalty expense of $131,000. The percentage increase was primarily the result of lower sales.

~~General and Administrative Expenses.~~ General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,003,000 for the third three months of 2015 from $1,161,000 for the third three months of 2014, but increased as a percentage of sales to 17.6% for the third three months of 2015 from 13.4% for the third three months of 2014.

~~Research and Development Expenses.~~ Research and development expenses increased to $869,000 in the third three months of 2015 from $865,000 in the third three months of 2014, and increased as a percentage of sales to 15.2% for the third three months of 2015 from 10.0% for the third three months of 2014. This $4,000 increase is primarily the result of an increase in salary expense (including fringe benefits) of $19,000 due to an increase in head count, offset by a decrease in consulting expenses of $46,000. The percentage increase was primarily the result of lower sales.

~~Operating Income (Loss).~~ Operating loss of $(1,875,000) for the third three months of 2015 represents a $2,528,000 decrease from the operating income of $653,000 for the third three months of 2014. Operating income (loss) as a percentage of sales was (32.9%) in the third three months of 2015 compared to 7.5% in the third three months of 2014.

~~Other Expense.~~ Interest expense increased to $79,000 in the third three months of 2015 from $69,000 in the third three months of 2014. The increase is the result of higher average borrowings and higher interest rates.

The decrease is primarily attributed to a decrease in sales of digital video headend products, analog video headend products and HFC distribution products, offset by an increase in contract manufactured products and data products. Sales of digital video headend products were $7,115,000 and $12,034,000, analog video headend products were $2,843,000 and $5,979,000, HFC distribution products were $2,802,000 and $3,260,000, contract manufactured products were $1,144,000 and $296,000 and data products were $499,000 and $15,000 in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

~~Cost of Goods Sold.~~ Cost of goods sold decreased to $12,040,000 for the first nine months of 2015 from $14,347,000 for the first nine months of 2014, but increased as a percentage of sales to 76.6% from 62.2%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in overall sales. The increase as a percentage of sales was primarily attributed to an overall increase in manufacturing overhead, an increase in inventory reserve of $900,000 as well as a less favorable product mix.

~~Selling Expenses.~~ Selling expenses decreased to $2,392,000 for the first nine months of 2015 from $2,500,000 in the first nine months of 2014, but increased as percentage of sales to 15.2% for the first nine months of 2015 from 10.8% for the first nine months of 2014. The $108,000 decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $162,000 as a result of the closing of our Canadian facility and a reduction in salary expense (including fringe benefits) of $44,000 due to a decrease in headcount offset by an increase in royalty expense of $124,000. The percentage increase was primarily the result of lower sales.

~~General and Administrative Expenses.~~ General and administrative expenses decreased to $3,085,000 for the first nine months of 2015 from $3,631,000 for the first nine months of 2014, but increased as a percentage of sales to 19.6% for the first nine months of 2015 from 15.7% for the first nine months of 2014. The $546,000$191,000 decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in salary expense (including fringe benefits) of ~~$467,000~~$197,000 due to ~~decreased headcount and~~ a decrease in ~~travel~~headcount. The percentage decrease was primarily the result of higher sales.

General and ~~entertainment~~Administrative Expenses.

As of ~~September 30, 2015~~March 31, 2016 and December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, the Company’s working capital (deficit) was ~~$1,191,000~~$64,000 and ~~$8,761,000,~~$(309,000), respectively. The ~~decrease~~increase in working capital is primarily due to ~~the reclassification of the Santander Term Loan of $3,387,000 from long term to short term,~~ an increase of ~~borrowings on the Revolver~~cash of ~~$1,270,000~~$504,000 and ~~decrease~~an increase of ~~inventories~~accounts receivable of ~~$1,634,000.~~$719,000 offset by an increase in accounts payable of $612,000.

Cash used in investing activities for the ~~nine~~three month period ended ~~September 30, 2015~~March 31, 2016 was ~~$636,000,~~$6,000, of which ~~$448,000~~$4,000 was attributable to additional license fees and ~~$188,000~~$2,000 was attributable to capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities was ~~$1,064,000~~$527,000 for the first ~~nine~~three months of ~~2015,~~2016, which was comprised of borrowing from related parties of $400,000 and net borrowings on the Revolver of ~~$1,270,000~~$190,000 offset by repayment of debt of ~~$206,000.~~$63,000.

On March 28, 2016 the Company and RLD, as borrowers and Robert J. Pallé, as agent (in such capacity “Agent”) and as a lender, together with Carol M. Pallé, Steven Shea and James H. Williams as lenders (collectively, the “Subordinated Lenders”) entered into a certain Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Convertible Loan and Security Agreement (the “Subordinated Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which the Subordinated Lenders agreed to provide the Company with a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $750,000 (“Subordinated Loan Facility”), under which individual advances in amounts not less than $50,000 may be drawn by the Company. Interest on the outstanding balance under the Subordinated Loan Facility from time to time, accrues at 12% per annum (subject to increase under certain circumstances) and is payable monthly in-kind by the automatic increase of the principal amount of the loan on each monthly interest payment date, by the amount of the accrued interest payable at that time (“PIK Interest”); provided, however, that at the option of the Company, it may pay interest in cash on any interest payment date, in lieu of PIK Interest. The Subordinated Lenders have the option of converting the principal balance of the loan, in whole (unless otherwise agreed by the Company), into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.54 per share (subject to adjustment under certain circumstances). This conversion right is subject to any necessary stockholder approval required by the rules of the NYSE MKT, and the Company has agreed to submit a proposal at its 2016 annual meeting to obtain stockholder approval. The obligations of the Company and RLD under the Subordinated Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the Company’s and RLD’s assets, including by a mortgage against the Old Bridge Property (the “Subordinated Mortgage”). The Subordinated Loan Agreement terminates three years from the date of closing, at which time the accreted principal balance of the loan (by virtue of the PIK Interest) plus any other accrued unpaid interest, will be due and payable in full.

As of March 31, 2016, the Subordinated Lenders have advanced $500,000 to the Company. In addition, $6,000 of PIK interest has been accrued in the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Company evaluated the conversion option embedded in the its Subordinated Loan Agreement issued in March 2016 in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815 and determined that the conversion option has all of the characteristics of a derivative in its entirety and does not qualify for an exception to the derivative accounting rules. Specifically, the exercise price of the conversion option entitles the Subordinated Lenders to an adjustment of the exercise price in the event that the Company subsequently issues equity securities or equity linked securities at prices more favorable than the exercise price of the conversion option embedded in the Subordinated Loan Agreement. Accordingly, the conversion option is not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Due to the derivative treatment of the conversion option, the Company recorded a $177,000 derivative liability as a debt discount at March 31, 2016 which also correlated to the measurement date. The Company computed the fair value of the derivative liability at the date of issuance and the reporting date using a binomial lattice model with the following assumption: stock price of $0.38, conversion price of $0.54, volatility of 91%, expected term of 3 years, risk free rate of 0.87% and dividend yield 0%. Since the measurement and balance sheet dates were the same, there was no change in the fair value of the derivative liability and no accretion of the debt discount occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The Subordinated Loan Agreement amended and restated a prior agreement entered into on February 11, 2016 between the Company and RLD, as borrowers and Robert J. Pallé and Carol M. Pallé, as lenders (the “Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. and Mrs. Pallé had agreed to provide the Company with a delayed draw term loan facility of up to $600,000 on terms substantially similar to those terms set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement, including the conversion rights and pledge of Company assets to secure the loan. Aggregate advances under the Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement were $300,000 and such balances have transferred over to and now constitute outstanding balances under the Subordinated Loan Agreement. The Prior Subordinated Loan Agreement was amended and restated by the Subordinated Loan Agreement in order to increase the amount available for borrowing by the Company in an effort to further enhance the Company’s capital resources and liquidity.

On August 6, 2008, the Company entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander Bank, N.A. (formerly known as Sovereign Bank, N.A.) through its Sovereign Business Capital division (“Santander”), pursuant to which the Company obtained an $8,000,000 credit facility from Santander (the “Santander Financing”). The Company and Santander entered into a series of amendments to the foregoing Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (as so amended, the “Santander Agreement”), which, among other things, adjusted the Santander Financing to $7,567,000 consisting of (i) a $4,000,000 asset-based revolving credit facility (“Revolver”) and (ii) a $3,567,000 term loan facility (“Term Loan”), each expiring on June 1, 2016. The amounts which may be borrowed under the Revolver are based on certain percentages of Eligible Receivables and Eligible Inventory, as such terms are defined in the Santander Agreement. The obligations of the Company under the Santander Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries.

Under the Santander Agreement, the Revolver currently bears ~~per annum~~ interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate announced from time to time by Santander(“~~Prime~~Prime”)”) plus 1.50% or the LIBOR rate plus 4.25%. The Term Loan currently bears interest at a rate per annum equal to Prime plus 1.75% or the LIBOR rate plus 4.50%. Prime was ~~3.25%~~3.50% at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016. LIBOR rate loans under the Santander Agreement may be borrowed for interest periods of one, three or six months. The LIBOR rates for interest periods of one-month, three-months and six-months were ~~0.19%~~0.44%, ~~0.32%~~0.63% and ~~0.53%~~0.90%, respectively, at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016.

On March 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Fourteenth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Fourteenth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The ~~per annum interest rates above became effective~~Fourteenth Amendment extended the termination date of the Santander Agreement and the “Additional Availability Period” under the Santander Agreement from March 1, 2016 to June 1, 2016. In addition, the Fourteenth Amendment amended certain of the Company’s financial covenants. In particular, the amended covenants relaxed the previous balance sheet leverage ratio compliance threshold of 1.25:1.00, and required that the Company maintain a balance sheet leverage ratio of not more than (i) 1.85 to 1.00 as of December 31, 2015 and (ii) 2.00 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2016. In addition, the amended covenants relaxed the previous EBITDA compliance threshold and required that the Company achieve EBITDA thresholds of not less than (i) negative (-) $3,897,000 as of December 31, 2015 (calculated on ~~January 21,~~a trailing twelve month basis) and (ii) $50,000 as of March 31, 2016 (calculated on a trailing three month basis). The Fourteenth Amendment also required that the Subordinated Lenders provide the Company with advances under the Subordinated Loan Facility in an aggregate amount (taking into account all prior advances) of $500,000, not later than March 31, 2016. The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants provided in the Fourteenth Amendment.

On February 1, 2016, the Company entered into the Thirteenth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Thirteenth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Thirteenth Amendment extended the termination date of the Santander Agreement and the “Additional Availability Period” under the Santander Agreement from February 1, 2016 to March 1, 2016. In addition, the Thirteenth Amendment reduced the maximum loan amount available under the Loan Agreement from $9,350,000 to $8,350,000 and reduced the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolver from $5,000,000 to $4,000,000.

On December 16, 2015, ~~pursuant~~the Company entered into the Twelfth Amendment to ~~the~~Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to amend certain terms of the ~~Seventh~~Santander Agreement to facilitate the Company’s ability to obtain additional capital through the issuance of equity or subordinated debt securities or the entry into subordinated loan arrangements following the date of the Twelfth Amendment. In particular, the Twelfth Amendment ~~described below.~~modified terms of the Santander Agreement that had restricted the incurrence of indebtedness and the creation of liens, to allow the Company to incur indebtedness that is subordinate to the indebtedness under the Santander Agreement and to permit that indebtedness to be secured, provided that any security would also be subordinate to the obligations and liens under the Santander Agreement. In addition, the Twelfth Amendment modified the restrictions on the Company’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates to permit the issuance of equity or subordinated debt securities to one or more affiliates or the entry into subordinated loan arrangements with one or more affiliates. The Twelfth Amendment also excluded the proceeds of any permitted equity or debt financing from the collateral subject to Santander’s lien under the Santander Agreement, until such time as and to the extent, such proceeds were utilized for the Company’s working capital or other general corporate purposes.

On November 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Eleventh Amendment (i) waived the Company’s failure of compliance with the Minimum EBITDA and leverage ratio covenants for the measurement period ended September 30, 2015, effective as of September 30, 2015, and (ii) increased the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 25% to 35% through and until February 1, 2016, after which it ~~will~~was to revert back to 25%. The Eleventh Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Eleventh Amendment, the Company ~~agreed to pay~~paid Santander an amendment fee of ~~$50,000, which is payable in ten weekly installments of $5,000 each.~~$50,000.

On May 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Eighth Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Eighth Amendment (i) waived the Company’s failure of compliance with the Minimum EBITDA covenant for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, effective as of March 31, 2015, and (ii) increased the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 25% to 35% through and until September 30, 2015, after which it ~~will~~was to revert back to 25%. The Eighth Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. In connection with the Eighth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $15,000. The Eighth Amendment iswas in lieu of the Temporary Overadvance Facility, as more fully discussed in the next paragraph.

On March 30, 2015, Santander agreed to provide the Company with ~~$500,000~~$500 of additional availability beyond its borrowing base under the Revolver (the “Temporary Overadvance Facility”) during the period April 1, 2015 through April 24, 2015, for which the Company paid Santander an accommodation fee of $2,500. Under the agreement, the Company was required to eliminate the outstanding balance under the Temporary Overadvance Facility on or before September 30, 2015, which was accomplished prior to entering into the Eight Amendment.

On January 21, 2015, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “Seventh Amendment”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Seventh Amendment (i) extended by one year the Termination Date of the Santander Agreement from February 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016; (ii) continued the installment payments of principal under the Term Loan at the same monthly payment of ~~$18,000~~$18 per month for the additional year until the final payment of unpaid principal and interest is due on February 1, 2016; (iii) increased the interest rates applicable to the Revolver and the Term Loan by one quarter of one percent (0.25%); and (iv) reset and modified the Minimum EBITDA covenant to address the term being extended by one year. The Seventh Amendment also ~~contains~~contained other customary representations, covenants, terms and conditions. The Company paid a $15,000 amendment fee to Santander in connection with the Seventh Amendment.

~~On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Sixth Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement with Santander (the “~~~~Sixth Amendment~~”) to amend the Santander Financing. The Sixth Amendment (i) reduced the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Revolver from $6,000,000 to $5,000,000, (ii) increased the interest rates applicable to the Revolver and the Term Loan by three quarters of one percent, (iii) modified the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio covenant to eliminate the testing thereof with respect to the trailing 12-month period ended as of December 31, 2013, (iv) eliminated the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant with respect to all periods after December 31, 2013, (v) modified the minimum EBITDA covenant to (a) eliminate the testing thereof with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, (b) change the manner of calculation thereof, and (c) imposed a quarterly building minimum EBITDA covenant test, commencing with the fiscal quarter ended on March 31, 2014, and thereafter for the two fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2014, the three fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2014, the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2014 and thereafter quarterly on a trailing four fiscal quarter basis, (vi) reduced the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Santander Agreement) from 50% to 35%, with a further reduction in such advance rate to 25% effective on or about June 27, 2014 and (vii) reduced the sublimit on advances against such Eligible Inventory from $3,000,000 to $2,000,000. In connection with the Sixth Amendment, the Company paid Santander an amendment fee of $45,000.

Upon ~~termination~~expiration of the Revolver, all outstanding borrowings under the Revolver are due. The outstanding principal balance of the Revolver was ~~$2,539,000~~$2,854,000 at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016. The Term Loan requires equal monthly principal payments of approximately $18,000 each, plus interest, with the remaining balance due at maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan was ~~$3,622,000~~$3,531,000 at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity ~~at this time~~ are its existing cash balances, cash generated from operations and amounts available under the Santander Financing ~~which is scheduled to mature~~ and ~~be due and payable in full on February 1, 2016.~~the Subordinated Loan Facility. As of ~~September 30, 2015,~~March 31, 2016, the Company had approximately ~~$2,539,000~~$2,854,000 outstanding under the Revolver and ~~$483,000~~$393,000 of additional availability for borrowing under the ~~Revolver. As of October 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $2,268,000 outstanding under the~~ Revolver, ~~and $560,000~~as well as $250,000 of additional availability for borrowing under the ~~Revolver.~~Subordinated Loan Facility. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $2,599,000 outstanding under the Revolver and $490,000 of additional availability for borrowing under the Revolver, as well as $250,000 of additional availability for borrowing under the Subordinated Loan Facility.

The Company’s Revolver and Term Loan under the Santander Financing, which was to have expired on February 1, 2016, has been extended by Santander through June 1, 2016. While the Company anticipates either obtaining ana further extension toof the maturity date of ~~its existing indebtedness~~the Santander Financing or refinancing all or part of ~~its existing indebtedness~~the Santander Financing prior to ~~February~~June 1, 2016, there can be no assurances that an extension or refinancing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.

~~As a result of lower than expected net sales~~Beginning in ~~the first three quarters of~~early 2015, the reduction, pursuant to the Sixth Amendment, in the advance rate applicable to Eligible Inventory from 50% to 25% and the temporary increase in that advance rate to 35% until February 1, 2016 pursuant to the Eighth, Tenth and Eleventh Amendments, the Company experienced a ~~material decrease~~significant decline in its ~~liquidity in the first three quarters of 2015. In addition, the Company’s~~net sales, which have ~~been slower than anticipated to recover~~not recovered to historical norms, ~~and the~~but which have stabilized at reduced levels.

As disclosed above, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company experienced a decline in sales, a reduction in working capital, reported a loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities in conjunction with liquidity constraints. Furthermore, the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan will expire by their terms on February 1, 2016, unless extended.levels. Based upon these ~~events~~facts and trends occurring in ~~the Company’s~~our business, ~~along~~together with our current expectations for the next ~~12 months, the Company may~~four fiscal quarters, we believe that if we are unable to further extend our current Revolver and Term Loan or otherwise refinance this indebtedness, we will not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next 12twelve months. These factors, ~~among~~and possibly others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going ~~concern.~~concern, a risk that was first discussed in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed in November 2015.

~~As described below,~~During the past twelve months, the Company ishas focused on implementing a turnaround strategy, ~~and in~~under which, since March of 2015, it ~~started to implement~~has been implementing operational and financial processes to improve liquidity, cash flow and profitability. In addition to seeking to further extend or refinance its outstanding indebtedness with Santander that is due on ~~February~~June 1, 2016, the Company ishas also ~~evaluating and in discussions regarding other options to resolve its liquidity issues, including exploring alternative sources~~entered into the Subordinated Loan Facility, which has provided the Company with $500,000 of additional working capital ~~(debt~~ and equity). In this regard, on November 13, 2015, the Company received the Pallé Commitment (as defined below) to lend up to $600,000 to the Company pursuant to a Subordinated Loan (as defined below). In addition, the Company received the ZyCast Proposal (as defined below) to purchase $1,000,000under which there remains availability for further borrowings of the Company’s common stock. As more fully discussed below, these initiatives are subject to a number of conditions, including satisfactory due diligence and satisfactory amendment to the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan. Given these conditions, there can be no assurance that the Pallé Commitment or the ZyCast Proposal will be consummated and the funding received.an additional $250,000. The Company is ~~also~~currently in discussions with Santander to extend the ~~maturity date~~term of the Company’s Revolver and Term ~~Loan.~~Loan and is in early stage discussions with several alternative lenders regarding refinancing of the Santander Financing. As of the date of this Report, however, uncertainty exists as to the ultimate outcome of a refinancing or extension of the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan and any commitment or proposal. Accordingly, there are no assurances that these commitments, proposals or discussions will result in any transaction, or that any such transaction, if implemented, will be successful.

~~On November 13, 2015, the Company received a commitment from Robert J. Pallé and Carol Pallé (“~~~~Pallé Commitment~~~~”) to provide the Company with senior, subordinated, convertible debt financing of up to $600,000 (“~~~~Subordinated Loan~~”). The Subordinated Loan will consist of a revolving credit facility and a term loan. The revolving credit facility will accrue interest at 12% per annum, which at the Company’s option will be paid-in-kind or in cash. The revolving credit facility will expire three years from the date of closing. The term loan will accrue interest at 12% per annum (subject to increase by 5% if certain conditions are not met with regard to the convertibility of the debt into shares of the Company’s common stock), paid-in-kind, and will expire three years from the date of closing. The lender has the option to convert the principal balance of the Subordinated Loan into shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.54 per share, subject to certain conditions surrounding the timing of conversion and any necessary shareholder approval required by the rules of the NYSE MKT. This commitment is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) satisfactory due diligence, (ii) the parties entering into a note, subordination agreement and other related documentation to effectuate the Subordinated Loan, (iii) satisfactory amendment of the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan, and (iv) compliance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange requirements. Given these conditions, there can be no assurance that the Pallé Commitment will be completed and the funding received. The foregoing summary of the Pallé Commitment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Pallé Commitment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In November, 2015, the Company received a proposal from ZyCast Technology, Inc. to invest $1,000,000 to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the greater of: (a) 110% of the average closing price of the Common Stock on the NYSE MKT during the ten trading days ending on the earlier of (i) the business day immediately preceding the date this proposal is publicly announced and (ii) the business day immediately preceding the closing date for the sale, and (b) fifty cents ($0.50) per share (“~~ZyCast Proposal~~”). ZyCast Technology is a Taiwanese electronics manufacturer who is seeking to enter into certain strategic initiatives with the Company to sell certain products in the Asian market. This proposal is subject to a number of conditions, including, among others, (i) satisfactory due diligence, (ii) the parties entering into a stock purchase agreement to effectuate the sale, (iii) a written commitment for an additional $500,000 debt investment in the Company by another party, (iv) satisfactory amendment of the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan, (v) the ability of ZyCast to appoint a director to the Company’s Board of Directors, and (vi) the parties entering into an agreement that grants ZyCast rights to use the Blonder Tongue name and logo on certain products sold by ZyCast in the Asian market. Given these conditions, there can be no assurance that the ZyCast Proposal will be completed and the funding received. The foregoing summary of the ZyCast Proposal is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ZyCast Proposal attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5, which is incorporated herein by reference.

In other efforts to alleviate the liquidity pressures and reposition the Company to ~~become profitable~~generate positive cash flow at a lower level of net sales, ~~earlier in~~since March 2015, the Company has implemented a ~~two-phase~~multi-phase cost-reduction program which reduced expenses during 2015 by approximately $1,035,000 and is expected to reduce annualized expenses by approximately ~~$2,100,000, including a temporary reduction in certain executive salaries, a decrease in workforce and a decrease in engineering consulting expenses. The~~$2,850,000. In 2016, the Company ~~also developed and implemented a third phase~~is implementing additional elements of its cost reduction ~~plan in September 2015, which is expected~~program designed to ~~reduce annualized expenses by approximately $750,000,~~preserve working capital, including ~~a temporary~~the further reduction inof salaries of certain ~~salaries~~employees of the Company. Although we believe we have made and ~~a decrease in workforce. In November 2015, the Company developed and implemented a fourth phase cost reduction plan, which is expected~~will continue to reduce annualized expenses by approximately $1,000,000, including a temporary reduction in certain salaries and a decrease in workforce. The Company is also implementing certain sales initiatives to increase the Company’s operating cash flow. Although the Company believes it has mademake progress under these programs (e.g., the Company’s liquidity ~~position~~ has modestly improved since March 30, 2015), ~~the Company operates~~we operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that ~~the Company’s~~our planned operational improvements will be successful. If anticipated operating results are not achieved, ~~and~~ and/or sufficient funds are not obtained from the Company’s efforts to refinance and raise capital, further reductions in operating expenses may be needed and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives and continue as a going concern.

The Company’s primary long-term obligations are for payment of interest and principal on the Company’s Revolver and Term Loan, both of which expire on June 1, 2016. The Company expects to use cash generated from operations to meet its long-term debt obligations, and anticipates obtaining a further extension or refinancing its long-term debt obligations at maturity. The Company considers opportunities to refinance its existing indebtedness based on market conditions. Although the Company will be required to refinance all or part of its existing indebtedness by June 1, 2016 (unless a further extension from Santander is obtained), there can be no assurances that it will successfully do so. Changes in the Company’s operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, or other events, may require the Company to seek additional debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions. The Company also expects to make financed and unfinanced long-term capital expenditures from time to time in the ordinary course of business, which capital expenditures were ~~$188,000~~$2,000 and ~~$673,000~~$188,000 in the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30, 2015~~March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, ~~2014,~~2015, respectively. ~~Subject to the liquidity concerns noted above, the~~The Company expects to use cash generated from operations, amounts available under its credit facility, ~~(including~~proceeds from advances under the ~~anticipated refinancing)~~Subordinated Loan Facility, and purchase-money financing to meet any anticipated long-term capital expenditures.

See Note 4 of the Notes to ~~Condensed~~ Consolidated Financial Statements for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the anticipated dates of adoption and the effects on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at ~~September 30, 2015.~~March 31, 2016.

During the quarter ended ~~September 30, 2015,~~March 31, 2016, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Company ~~may be~~is a party to certain proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of its business, none of which, in the current opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Our business involves various risks and uncertainties in addition to the normal risks of business, some of which are discussed elsewhere in this Report, including under "Forward-Looking Statements" under Part I, Item 2 of this Report, and in our other filings with the SEC. It should be noted that our business may be adversely affected by a downturn in general economic conditions and other forces beyond our control. In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business. Any such risks or uncertainties, or any of the following risks or uncertainties, that develop into actual events could result in a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 except for the changes and additions described below. The risks described below, together with all of the other information included in this Report, should be carefully considered in evaluating our business and prospects. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2014 for a list of our other risk factors. Solely for purposes of the risk factors in this Item 1A, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

~~There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.~~

~~Our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 included herein contain a "going concern" explanatory paragraph.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we experienced a decline in sales, a reduction in working capital, reported loss from operations and net cash used in operating activities in conjunction with liquidity constraints. Furthermore, our Revolver and Term Loan will expire February 1, 2016. Based upon these facts and trends, together with our current expectations for the next four fiscal quarters, we believe that we may not have sufficient liquidity necessary to sustain operations for the next twelve months. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

If suppliers, customers, employees or other stakeholders lose confidence in the business, it may be more difficult for us to operate and could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Doubts regarding our ability to continue as a going concern could result in loss of confidence by our customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders, which, in turn, could materially adversely affect our ability to operate. Concerns about our financial condition may cause our suppliers and other counterparties to tighten credit terms or cease doing business with us altogether, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

~~Our stock price has been volatile and any investment in our common stock could suffer a significant decline or total loss in value.~~

Because we face significant uncertainties relating to our liquidity and ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations and to continue to operate our business as a going concern, our stock price is volatile and any investment in our common stock could suffer a significant decline or total loss in value. Furthermore, we may not be able to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE MKT LLC or any other national securities exchange or over-the-counter market on which our common stock is then traded, which may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

On November 14, 2015, the Company entered into the Eleventh Amendment to Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement, among Santander Bank, N.A., Blonder Tongue Laboratories, Inc., and R. L. Drake Holdings, LLC. Further details surrounding this agreement are described above in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources,” which description is incorporated into this Item 5 by reference. The summary in this paragraph of the Eleventh Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Eleventh Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 13, 2015, the Pallé Commitment was made by Robert J. Pallé and Carol Pallé to the Company. Further details surrounding this commitment are described above in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources,” which description is incorporated into this Item 5 by reference. The summary in this paragraph of the Pallé Commitment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Pallé Commitment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
