Sparton's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers
United States Navy contracts allow Sparton to submit performance based billings,
which are then applied against inventories purchased and manufacturing costs
incurred by the Company throughout its performance under these contracts. Inventories
were reduced by performance based payments from the U.S. Navy for costs incurred
related to long-term contracts.
The majority of Sparton's MDS segment customers are in highly regulated industries
where strict adherence to regulations such as ITAR, regulations issued by the
FDA, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”), the Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA") and similar foreign jurisdiction regulations
such as the European Union RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH
(Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals) is necessary. Non-compliance
risks range from variance notifications to production/shipping prevention depending
upon the agency and form of non-compliance. These requirements are highly technical
in nature and require strict adherence and documentation related to operational
processes. Sparton's quality system provides us the ability to service such
markets, differentiating Sparton from some potential competitors which lack
such systems.
