NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 26, 2010

1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Business

IEC Electronics Corp.,("IEC", "we", "our", “us”, the “Company”), is a premier provider of electronic manufacturing services,(“EMS”), to advanced technology companies. We specialize in the custom manufacture of high reliability, complex circuit cards, system level assemblies and a wide array of custom cable/wire harness assemblies. We excel where quality is paramount and where low to medium volume, high mix production is the norm. We utilize state-of-the art, automated circuit card assembly equipment coupled with a full complement of high reliability manufacturing stress testing technologies. We have created a “high intensity response culture” to react and adapt to our customer’s ever-changing needs. Our customer focused approach offers a high degree of flexibility while simultaneously complying with the industry’s rigorous quality and on-time delivery standards. As a true extension of our customer’s operation, we have applied industry leading Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing principles to eliminate waste and lower our customer’s total cost of ownership. While many EMS services are viewed as a commodity, we believe we have set ourselves apart through an uncommon mix of features including:

A world class Technology Center that combines a dedicated prototype manufacturing center with an on-site Materials Analysis Lab (headed by two staff PhD’s) for the seamless introduction of complex electronics

A sophisticated Lean/Sigma continuous improvement program supported by five certified Six Sigma Blackbelts delivering best-in-class results

Industry-leading Web Portal providing real-time access to a wide array of critical customer data

In-house custom functional test development to support complex system-level assembly, test, troubleshoot and end-order fulfillment

Acquisition

On December 16, 2009, the Company acquired all of the stock of General Technology Corporation (GTC) from Crane International Holdings, Inc.,(“Seller”). The acquired business employs complementary technologies and serves similar markets compared with IEC. GTC occupies an important niche in the military and defense market, helping its customers manage their legacy products and programs. The acquisition broadens IEC’s product mix and further diversifies our customer base. The facility is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and is supported by a solid management team.

The purchase price for the GTC acquisition was $15.1 million, which includes a post closing working capital adjustment of approximately $.9 million, funded by senior bank debt. The purchase price may be increased or decreased depending upon a final working capital reconciliation. We expect the final working capital reconciliation to be resolved prior to the end of fiscal 2010.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the Company is required to measure and recognize the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The company is then required to measure and recognize goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase, as the excess of consideration transferred at the acquisition date over the fair values of identifiable net assets acquired. The fair value of acquired equipment and identifiable intangible assets, if any, is provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for those assets. The fair value of land, building and equipment was based in part on reports from a certified general real estate appraiser and a certified manufacturing equipment appraiser. The following table represents the fair value of each identifiable asset acquired and liability assumed as of December 16, 2009:

(Dollars in thousands)	At December 16, 2009

Current Assets	$	8,458
Land		813
Building		5,087
Equipment		2,761
Other/Intangible Assets		360
Total assets acquired		17,479

Current Liabilities	$	2,268
Long Term Liabilities		100
Total Liabilities Acquired	$	2,368

Net assets acquired	$	15,111
Cash paid to Seller via acquisition of debt	$	15,111

The following table represents IEC’s proforma consolidated results of operations as if the acquisition of GTC had occurred at the beginning of each period presented. Such results have been prepared by adjusting the historical IEC results to include GTC results of operations and incremental interest and other expenses related to the acquisition debt. The proforma results do not include any cost savings or additional sales that may result from the combination of IEC and GTC operations. The proforma results may not necessarily reflect the consolidated operations that would have existed had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of such periods nor are they necessary indicative of future results.

Fiscal Calendar

The Company’s fiscal quarters end on the last Friday of the final month of each quarter, except that our fiscal year ends on September 30.

Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, IEC Electronics Wire and Cable, Inc. (“Wire and Cable”) and General Technology Corporation (“GTC”) since December 16, 2009. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company establishes an allowance for uncollectable trade accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability of outstanding balances.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over various estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and improvements are capitalized. At the time of retirement or other disposition of property, plant, and equipment, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income.

The principal depreciation and amortization lives used are as follows:

Description		Estimated Useful Lives

Land improvements		10 years
Buildings and improvements		5 to 40 years
Machinery and equipment		3 to 5 years
Furniture and fixtures		3 to 7 years

Intangible Asset

The building and land acquired from the GTC acquisition included an Industrial Revenue Bond ("IRB"), which exempts the property from real estate taxes. The IRB was treated as an intangible asset at the date of acquisition and will be amortized straight-line over its useful life. The useful life of the intangible will correspond with the maturity date assigned to the IRB which is March 1, 2019.

Long-Lived Assets

FASB ASC 360-10 (Prior Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), requires that the Company tests long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and six month periods ending March 26, 2010 and March 27, 2009.

Financial Instruments

Financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, accrued liabilities, and debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company's debt is estimated based upon similar market rate debt issues.

FASB ASC 820 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measurement and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Topic No. 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Topic No. 820 classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy:

Level 1:

Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2:

Quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Fair values assigned to GTC’s acquired fixed assets have been determined using Level 2.

Level 3:

Pricing inputs are unobservable for the assets and liabilities and include situations where there is little to no market activity for assets and liabilities.

The inputs to determine fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from sales is recognized when goods are shipped; title and risk of ownership have passed; the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and recovery is reasonable assured. Service revenues are recognized upon completion of the services. The Company’s net revenue is derived from the sale of electronic products built to customer specifications. The Company also derives revenue from design services and repair work. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Stock Based Compensation

FASB ASC 718 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment), requires the measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award.

Income Tax/Deferred Tax Policy

FASB ASC 740 (Prior Authoritative Literature: SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes), requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differing treatment of items for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The deferred tax balances are adjusted to reflect tax rates by tax jurisdiction, based on currently enacted tax laws, which will be in effect in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. We have provided deferred income tax benefits on net operating loss carry-forwards to the extent we believe we will be able to utilize them in future tax filings.

FASB ASC 740 also prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should measure, recognize, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. The Company recognizes the tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties, if incurred, are included in interest and financing expense. The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The Company’s open audit periods are 2006 – 2009. There are no material uncertain tax positions.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by adjusting the weighted-average shares outstanding assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible securities.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount

of assets and liabilities, 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.

Unaudited Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended March 26, 2010, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financia1 information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's September 30, 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

FASB ASC 805 (Prior Authoritative Literature: Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”), establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. FASB ASC 805 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. As such, the Company adopted these provisions at the beginning of the current fiscal year. The GTC acquisition was recorded in accordance with FASB ASC 805.

2. INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost (first-in, first-out) or market. The Company regularly assesses slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventory and maintains a balance sheet reserve against these risks. The major classifications of inventories are as follows at period end (in thousands):

	March 26, 2010		September 30, 2009
Raw Materials	$	6,908	$	3,365
Work-in-process		4,594		2,555
Finished goods		559		571
	$	12,061	$	6,491

The Company negotiates deposits from customers covering its raw material exposure when the customer significantly delays its original shipping date. These customer deposits, when received, are carried as other current liabilities on the balance sheet but effectively reduce a portion of the Company’s raw material inventory. Current customer deposits totaled $252,000 and $190,000 at March 26, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

3. CREDIT FACILITIES:

On December 16, 2009, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T”), a New York banking corporation (the “Lender”). The Lender has agreed to provide the Company $25,500,000 in aggregate senior secured credit facilities. These facilities modify and replace the prior Revolving Credit Facility, modify and replace the prior Equipment Line continuing the term debt outstanding, and are in addition to the existing Energy Loan, the existing Term Loan and the existing M&T Sale-Leaseback as outlined in the original Credit Facility Agreement dated May 30, 2008 between the Company and the Lender (the “Prior Agreement”).

The following summarizes the new senior secured credit facilities:

A $15,000,000 Revolving Credit Facility available for direct borrowings. Borrowings under this facility cannot exceed the lesser of the Borrowing Base or $15,000,000. The Borrowing Base is the sum of 85% of eligible receivables plus 35% of eligible inventories. Loans under this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin which is based on the Company's Total Debt/EBITDARS. On the date of closing, the interest rate was 4.25%. The revolving credit facility terminates on December 16, 2012. The Company will incur quarterly commitment fees based on the unused amount of the revolving credit facility. As of March 26, 2010, outstanding loans under the revolving credit agreement were $7.2 million.

A $5,000,000 Term Loan (the “GTC Term Loan”) amortized equally over 60 months beginning December, 2009. The principal amount of the term loan will be paid in equal monthly payments of $83,333 each. The GTC Term Loan bears interest at 4.5%. The remaining principal balance was $4.8 million as of March 26, 2010. The GTC Term Loan matures on December 16, 2014.

A $4,000,000 Commercial Mortgage Term Loan that bears interest at 4.5%. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan will be paid in equal monthly installments of $22,222 each. The mortgage matures on December 16, 2014. The remaining balance was $3.9 million as of March 26, 2010.

A $1,500,000 Equipment Line of Credit. Amounts under this facility are available to the Company in the discretion of Lender until December 16, 2010 or such later date as agreed by Lender. Such facility is in the aggregate amount of $1,500,000 less the amount of Equipment Line Loans made under the Prior Agreement. As of March 26, 2010 the Company had used $0.9 million of the $1.5 million. Amounts borrowed under the Equipment Line of Credit will be repaid in sixty equal monthly principal payments plus interest, on the first day of the month following the date borrowed. Interest on the New Equipment Line of Credit accrues at 4.5%.

The following summarizes the remaining credit facilities and other debt:

A $1.7 million term loan amortized equally over 60 months beginning June 2008. IEC’s interest rate is fixed at 6.7%. The remaining balance as of March 26, 2010 was $0.6 million inclusive of an accelerated payment of $0.5 million made during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.

A $2.0 million Sale Leaseback of the Company’s fixed assets amortized equally over 60 months beginning June 27, 2008. Annual payments are fixed and are $389,236 per year. At March 26, 2010 our remaining unpaid balance for the lease was $1.2 million.

All loans and the Sale-Leaseback are secured by, among other things, a security interest in the assets of the Company including IEC Electronics Wire and Cable, Inc. and GTC and a mortgage covering GTC’s interest in property and improvements located in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Credit Agreement also contains various affirmative and negative covenants including financial

covenants. The financial covenants include a quarterly and annual “minimum EBITDARS” requirement, a maximum “debt to EBITDARS” ratio, and a minimum “fixed charge coverage” ratio. The Company was compliant with these covenants as of March 26, 2010. (See Liquidity and Capital Resources section of the Management Discussion and Analysis.)

The Company has outstanding an energy loan ("NYSERDA Loan") from M&T Bank in the principal amount of $0.2 million. The NYSERDA Loan is a low interest loan, subsidized by New York State, to facilitate energy conservation projects. The NYSERDA Loan is for a term of 5 years and has an effective interest rate of 2.08%. The maturity date is May 1, 2013. As amended, the NYSERDA Loan is subject to the same financial covenants as those contained in the Credit Agreement.

In connection with the acquisition of “Wire and Cable” in May 2008 and the payment of the purchase price to the sellers, a portion of the purchase price was paid in the form of subordinated promissory notes (the "Seller Notes") in the aggregate principal amount of $3.8 million with interest at the rate of 4% per annum. Quarterly payments of principal and interest are over 20 installments beginning September 1, 2008. As of March 26, 2010 the remaining aggregate principal balance of the Seller Notes was $1.9 million. Each Seller Note is subordinated to the indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement.

As part of the GTC purchase, the Company acquired a “Bond Due” to the City of Albuquerque, with a remaining balance of $0.1 million maturing in 2019.

Annual debt maturities (in thousands) for the twelve month periods after March 26, 2010 are:

Year 1				Year 2				Year 3 (1)				Year 4				Year 5
$	2,477			$	2,437			$	9,493			$	1,532			$	3,638

The following table displays the components of the deferred tax asset as of March 26, 2010 and September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

	March 26, 2010			September 30, 2009
Net operating loss and AMT credit carryovers	$	13,002		$	13,940

Remaining Valuation allowance		(3,107	)		(3,107	)
Current and Long Term Deferred Tax Asset	$	14,138		$	15,076

The Company has a net operating loss carry-forward of $38.0 million (expiring in years through 2025). The Company has available approximately $5.0 million in New York State investment tax credits (expiring in years through 2017). FASB ASC 740 requires the Company to establish an asset on the balance sheet to reflect the future value associated with the ability to utilize these losses and credits against future income tax obligations.

A valuation allowance of $3,107,000 reflects the Company's probable inability to realize the tax benefits from New York State investment tax credits. These credits fully expire in 2017 and cannot be used until the Company exhausts all of its NY State net operating loss carry-forwards for state taxes.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information in this Management's Discussion & Analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and their related notes. Forward-looking statements in this Management's Discussion and Analysis are qualified by the cautionary statement found on Page 18.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 26, 2010,

Compared to the Three Months Ended March 27, 2009.

Sales (dollars in millions)

For Three Months Ended	March 26, 2010		March 27, 2009

Net sales	$	25.2	$	16.3

IEC had a strong second quarter and significantly surpassed the revenue achieved in the same quarter of the prior year. Net sales for the three month period were 54% higher than net sales for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Included in the current quarter’s revenue figures are three months sales from GTC. On a comparable basis with the prior year’s second quarter, excluding the sales of GTC, net sales grew by 22.7%. While the soft economy has impacted some of IEC’s customers, others continue to grow. The Company has experienced solid new orders and expects continued growth in both revenue and profitability through 2010.

Gross Profit (dollars in thousands and as a % of Net Sales)

For Three Months Ended	March 26, 2010			March 27, 2009

Gross profit	$	4,018		$	2,607
Gross profit percent		15.9	%		16.0	%

Gross profit increased by $1.4 million over the same quarter of the prior year and as a percentage of sales remained virtually static. The Company continues to emphasize quality of earnings as revenues grow. Strong gross margins are being maintained through efficient labor utilization, a more highly trained workforce, realization of benefits associated with investments in capital equipment, and lean initiatives focused on driving operational efficiencies.

Selling and Administrative Expense (dollars in thousands and as a % of Net Sales)

For Three Months Ended	March 26, 2010			March 27, 2009

Selling and administrative expense	$	2,035		$	1,464
Selling and administrative expense percent		8.1	%		9.0	%

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased in comparison to the same three month period of the prior fiscal year. Three month’s revenues from GTC were included with lower selling and administrative costs than IEC traditionally incurs. Selling and administrative expenses for the current quarter included $34K and $49K of non-cash stock option expense respectively.

Interest expense was $261K for the quarter ended March 26, 2010, up from $91K for the comparable quarter of the prior fiscal year. Debt increased due to the recent acquisition of GTC. Additionally, during the second quarter of the prior year, the Company’s interest rate on its revolving line of credit was extremely favorable. Details regarding current total debt and applicable interest rates are included in note #3 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 10 and 11. We continue to actively manage our working capital to maximize cash flow to reduce debt and interest expense.

Other Expense during the three months ending March 26, 2010 was $129K for legal and professional services associated with the acquisition of GTC. The Company posted $66K of Other Income during the comparable period of the prior fiscal year associated with a New York State “Power for Jobs” program.

Income tax expense for the three month period ended March 26, 2010 was $557K. During the comparable quarter of the prior year the Company posted a credit of $1,501K. The prior year’s net benefit from income taxes was mainly due to a reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. Excluding the impact of tax expense and tax benefits resulting from the accounting treatment of deferred tax assets, the Company’s income increased by 42% when comparing the current three month period ending March 26, 2010 with the same three month period in fiscal 2009.

Diluted shares for the three month period ended March 26, 2010 increased. During the three month period ended March 27, 2009, the Company’s average stock price was $1.33 per share. During the current three month period ended March 26, 2010, the Company’s average stock price was $5.17 per share. The resulting impact on the weighted average diluted shares caused by the price increase is 372,000 shares.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended March 26, 2010,

Compared to the Six Months Ended March 27, 2009.

Sales (dollars in millions)

For Six Months Ended	March 26, 2010		March 27, 2009

Net sales	$	43.3	$	32.2

IEC has had two successive strong quarters to start fiscal 2010. Net sales for the first half of fiscal 2010 surpassed the revenue achieved in the first half of the prior year by $11.1 million or 34%. While the soft economy has impacted some of IEC’s customers, others continue to grow. The Company expects continued growth throughout fiscal 2010. Excluding the impact of GTC sales, IEC’s contract manufacturing and wire and cable business grew by more than 16% over the same six month period of the prior year.

Gross Profit (dollars in thousands and as a % of Net Sales)

For Six Months Ended	March 26, 2010			March 27, 2009

Gross profit	$	6,831		$	4,841
Gross profit percent		15.8	%		15.0	%

Gross profit increased $2.0 million compared to the first half of fiscal 2009. Gross profit as a percentage of sales also improved over the comparable six month period of the prior year. The improvement of 0.8% at a materially higher revenue level demonstrates an increased margin flow-thru on incremental sales and an improvement in the quality of earnings. This improvement in gross margin is evidence of more efficient labor utilization, a more highly trained workforce, realization of benefits associated with investments in capital equipment, and lean initiatives focused on driving operational efficiencies. The GTC operation also contributed favorably to our improved gross profit.

Selling and Administrative Expense (dollars in thousands and as a % of Net Sales)

For Six Months Ended	March 26, 2010			March 27, 2009

Selling and administrative expense	$	3,535		$	2,751
Selling and administrative expense percent		8.2	%		8.5	%

Selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased by 0.3% versus the comparable six month period of the prior fiscal year. Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 26, 2010 and March 27, 2009 included $68K and $95K of non-cash stock option expense respectively.

Interest expense was $355,000 for the first half of fiscal 2010, up from $215,000 in the comparable six month period of the prior fiscal year. Total debt has increased due to the GTC acquisition which was completed in mid-December 2009. Additionally, during the prior fiscal year the Company’s interest rate on its revolving line of credit was extremely favorable. Details regarding current total debt and applicable interest rates are included in note #3 to the consolidated financial statements on pages 10, 11, and 12. We continue to actively manage our debt to reduce interest expense. Strong earnings and prudent working capital management have enabled accelerated reduction of our overall debt.

Other Expense during the six month period ending March 26, 2010 was $188K mainly for legal and professional services associated with the acquisition of GTC. During the comparable period of the prior fiscal year the Company posted $66K of Other Income associated with a New York State “Power for Jobs” program.

Income tax expense for the six month period ended March 26, 2010 was $964K. During the comparable six month period of the prior fiscal year the Company posted a net credit of $1,209K. The prior year’s net benefit from income taxes was associated with the reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset. Excluding the impact of tax expense and tax benefits resulting from the accounting treatment of deferred tax assets, the Company’s income increased by 42% when comparing the current six month period ending March 26, 2010 with the same six month period in fiscal 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow provided by operating activities was $4.0 million for the six month period ended March 26, 2010 compared to $1.3 million provided from the same six month period in the prior fiscal year. The cash provided from the most recent six months of operations was mainly derived from higher earnings and a net favorable change in overall working capital driven by an increase in payables. The Company remains very focused on effective working capital management.

Cash Flow utilized in investing activities was ($0.7) million during the six months ended March 26, 2010. IEC remains committed to modernization, improving efficiency and providing products of the highest quality. The Company continues to invest in state of the art production and quality testing equipment.

Net Cash Flow utilized by financing activities was ($3.4) million during the first six months of fiscal 2010 which represents a net total debt reduction, excluding the impact of the new credit facility associated with the GTC acquisition. We continue to utilize our cash provided through operations to pay down our outstanding debt as expediently as possible and reduce interest expense.

At March 26, 2010, we had a $7.2 million balance outstanding under our new revolving credit facility. The maximum borrowing limit under our revolving credit facility is limited to the lesser of (i) $15.0 million or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of 85% of the receivables borrowing base and 35% of the inventory borrowing base. We believe that our liquidity is adequate to cover operating requirements for the next 12 months. Our new credit facility is described in detail in note #3 to the consolidated financial statements on page 10, 11 and 12.

The Company’s financing agreements contain various affirmative and negative covenants including financial covenants concerning the ratio of “EBITDARS” (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization, Rent Expense under the Sale Leaseback and Stock Option Expense) to total debt and to fixed charges. These are calculated on a twelve month rolling basis. The Company must also maintain a minimum EBITDARS level of $1,000,000 per individual quarter. The Company was compliant with these covenants as of March 26, 2010. The table below provides details on the Company’s performance relative to each of the three covenants for the quarter:

	Covenant	Requirement	Actual Performance

▪	Minimum quarterly EBITDARS	≥ $ 1,000,000	$ 2,262,000
▪	Fixed Charge Coverage	≥ 1.25x	2.9x
▪	Total Debt to EBITDARS	≤ 3.50x	2.1x

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management's application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition, provisions for doubtful accounts, provisions for inventory obsolescence, impairment of long-lived assets, accounting for legal contingencies and accounting for income taxes.

Sales are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

FASB ASC 360-10 (Prior Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets), requires that we evaluate our long-lived assets for financial impairment on a regular basis. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets not held for sale by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the estimated undiscounted future cash flows associated with them. If such evaluations indicate that the future discounted cash flows of certain long-lived assets are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such assets, the assets are adjusted to their fair values.

FASB ASC 450-10 (Prior Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies"), requires that when, from time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, the outcomes of which are subject to significant uncertainty, an estimated loss from a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. We evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations.

FASB ASC 740 (Prior Authoritative Literature: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"), establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effect of income taxes. The objectives of accounting for income taxes are to recognize the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in an entity's financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Fluctuations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could impact our financial position or our results of operations.

Impact of Inflation

To date the impact of inflation has been minimal due to the fact that we have been able to adjust many of our bids to reflect increases in costs; however it is not clear this will continue and in turn could affect our margins.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows of IEC due to adverse changes in interest rates. We are exposed to market risk in the area of interest rates. One exposure is directly related to our Revolving Credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement, due to their variable interest rate pricing. Management believes that interest rate fluctuations will not have a material impact on IEC's results of operations.

Item 4T — Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of IEC's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures associated with the “base IEC business”, excluding the recently acquired GTC operation, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the business has disclosure controls and procedures which were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by IEC in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures. The GTC operation will be evaluated in exactly the same manner and management will report on the effectiveness of controls of that operation in the 10-Q filing for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting

In connection with the evaluation described above, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, identified no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2010, that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
