Operating Divisions

Connector and Cable Division The Connector and Cable Division is engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of coaxial connector solutions for companies that design, build, operate, maintain and use wireless voice, data, messaging, and location tracking systems. Coaxial connector products consist primarily of connectors which, when attached to a coaxial cable, facilitate the transmission of analog and digital signals in various frequencies. Although most of the connectors are designed to fit standard products, the Company also sells custom connectors specifically designed and manufactured to suit its customers’ requirements such as the Wi-Fi and broadband wireless markets. The Company’s Connector and Cable Division typically carries over 1,200 connectors, adapters, tools, and assembly, test and measurements kits. The Company’s RF connectors are used in thousands of different devices, products and types of equipment. While the models and types of devices, products and equipment may change from year to year, the demand for the types of connectors used in such products and offered by the Company does not fluctuate with the changes in the end product incorporating the connectors. In addition, since the Company’s standard connectors can be used in a number of different products and devices, the discontinuation of one product does not make the Company’s connectors obsolete. Accordingly, most connectors carried by the Company can be marketed for a number of years and are only gradually phased out. Furthermore, because the Company’s connector products are not dependent on any line of products or any market segment, the Company’s overall sales of connectors do not fluctuate materially when there are changes to any product line or market segment. Sales of the Company’s connector products are, however, dependent upon the overall economy, infrastructure build out by large telecommunications firms and on the Company’s ability to market its products.

The Company designs its connectors at its headquarters in San Diego, California. However, most of the RF connectors are manufactured by third party foreign manufacturers located in Asia.

The Company has been designing, producing and selling coaxial connectors since 1987 and the Connector and Cable Division therefore represents the Company’s oldest and most established division. The Connector and Cable Division has historically generated, and continues to generate the majority of the Company’s net sales and net income.

Cable assembly products consist of various types of coaxial cables that are attached to connectors (usually the Company’s connectors) for use in a variety of communications applications. Cable assemblies manufactured for the Cable and Connector Division are manufactured at the Company’s California facilities using state of the art automation equipment and are sold through distributors or directly to major OEM accounts. Cable assemblies consist of both standard cable assemblies and assemblies that are custom manufactured for the Company’s clients. The Company offers a line of cable assemblies with over 100,000 cable product combinations. The Company launched its cable assembly operations in 2000, and cable assembly products constituted the second largest source of revenues for the Company during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011.

Aviel Electronics Division The Aviel Electronics Division is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of custom, specialty or precision connectors and cable systems for specialized purposes, such as commercial aerospace and military systems. Aviel has a 50 year history of serving the microwave transmission industries, and is an approved vendor to leading aerospace, electronics, OEM’s and government agencies in the United States and abroad. Aviel complements the Company’s Connector and Cable Division’s capabilities by providing additional custom design and manufacturing capabilities, thereby expanding the Company’s products in the military and commercial aerospace markets, and expanding the Company’s overall client base. Aviel’s operations, including its manufacturing facilities, are based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Oddcables.com Division Oddcables.com (formerly known as Worswick) sells coaxial connector solutions and manufactures RF cable assemblies for both individual customers and companies that design, build, operate, and maintain personal and private multi-media, wireless voice, data and messaging systems. Oddcables.com primarily sells its products on a retail basis at its retail outlet in San Diego, California. Oddcables.com, however, also sells its products on-line under the e-commerce brand Oddcables.com. This division recently also commenced designing, manufacturing and selling precision-grade, high frequency connectors and adapters for OEM, military and metrology lab applications as well as 10GHz high frequency fiber optic patch cable assemblies. Oddcables.com was a privately held, 20-year old California company based in San Diego before its acquisition by the Company in September 2005.

Cables Unlimited Division On June 15, 2011, RF Industries, Ltd. acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cables Unlimited, Inc., a New York corporation. The Cables Unlimited division is an established custom cable manufacturer based in Yaphank, New York. Cables Unlimited, Inc. is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture fiber optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty. The products manufactured by Cables Unlimited, Inc. include custom fiber optic and standard cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communications, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment.

Bioconnect Division The Bioconnect Division is engaged in product development, design, manufacture and sale of high-end or specialty cables and interconnects for medical monitoring applications, such as disposable ECG cables, EEG leads, infant apnea monitors in hospitals, patient leads, snap leads and connecting wires. Bioconnect’s products typically do not directly compete against the mass-produced, lower priced standard medical cables used by medical facilities. The Company acquired the Bioconnect operations in 2000.

RF Neulink Division The RF Neulink Division has, since 1984, designed and manufactured, through outside contractors, wireless data products commonly known as RF data links and wireless modems. These radio modems and receivers provide high-speed wireless connections over longer distances where wire connections may not be desirable or feasible. In addition to selling its own radio modem, RF Neulink also distributes antennas, transceivers and related products of other manufacturers. RF Neulink’s small point-to-point systems and large systems of wireless data networks are used by banks, gas and oil, casinos, military units, government agencies, and manufacturing plants. The RF Neulink Division also offers complete turn-key packages for numerous remote data transmission applications.

RadioMobile Division The RadioMobile Division is an OEM provider of end-to-end mobile management solutions implemented over wireless networks. Although the RadioMobile Division operates as a separate division, its operations supplement the operations of the Company’s Neulink division. In November 2011, RadioMobile Division was awarded a $2.6 million contract from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the implementation of a wireless system upgrade to the County Fire Department's existing remote communications equipment. The Company acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed certain liabilities of RadioMobile Inc., a privately held company in San Diego, California on September 1, 2007.

For financial reporting purposes, the Company aggregates its operations into four segments. (1) Connector and Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics, and Oddcables.com divisions are aggregated into one reporting segment (the RF Connector and Cables Assembly segment) because they have similar economic characteristics, while (2) RF Neulink and RadioMobile are aggregated in the RF Wireless segment. (3) Bioconnect makes up the Company’s Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment. (4) The Cables Unlimited division constitutes the Company’s newest fiber optic and power/electronic cabling segment, which we refer to as the Cables Unlimited segment.

In November 2011, the RadioMobile Division was awarded a $2.6 million contract from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the implementation of a wireless system upgrade to the County Fire Department's existing remote communications equipment. Under this contract, RadioMobile is required to replicate the County's existing technology and simultaneously implement a high speed data solution satisfying FCC Narrowband requirements. RadioMobile is required to perform this wireless upgrade without downtime, without interrupting emergency services and without the provision of additional frequencies or wireless sites during the transition period. RadioMobile’s mobile applications are required to exactly mimic the Fire Department’s current Cathode Ray Tube-based 1985 functions, thereby eliminating retraining expenses for thousands of fire personnel. The L.A. County Fire Department agreement is scheduled to be completed by December of 2012.

The acquisition of Cables Unlimited gives the Company the ability to offer a broad range of interconnect products and systems that the Company’s largest customers had sought, but that the Company previously was unable to provide. These interconnect systems have the ability to combine radio frequency and fiber optic interconnect components, with various connectors and power cables through customized solutions for these customers. The Company intends to actively market its ability to provide these fiber optic interconnect solutions to its larger customers.

Foreign Sales

Direct export sales by the Company to foreign customers accounted for $2,103,000 or approximately 11% of Company’s sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Foreign sales accounted for $1,818,000 or approximately 11% of Company’s sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The majority of the export sales during these periods were to Canada, Israel and Mexico. Foreign sales orders from individual customers tend to be larger than U.S. product orders and therefore have a larger impact on the Company’s sales.

The Company does not own, or directly operate any manufacturing operations or sales offices in foreign countries.

Distribution, Marketing and Customers

Sales methods vary greatly between the Company’s divisions. The Connector and Cable Assembly division and the Cables Unlimited division currently sell their products primarily through warehousing distributors and OEM customers who utilize coaxial connectors and cable assemblies in the manufacture of their products.

The Aviel Division sells its products to its current customer base and to customers referred through the Connector and Cable Division. The Aviel and Connector and Connector divisions sell to similar customer market segments and combine marketing efforts where economically advantageous.

The Oddcables.com division operates from a single retail, store-front location in San Diego and sells primarily to walk-in or local multi-media (video, voice, gaming, etc.) and communications systems customers. This division also operates an e-commerce website called Oddcables.com that it launched in 2007 for the distribution of its products.

The Bioconnect group markets its products to the medical market through major hospital suppliers, dealers and distributors. The Bioconnect Division also sells its products to OEMs who incorporate the leads and cables into their product offerings.

The Neulink Division sells its products directly or through manufacturers representatives, system integrators and OEM’s. System integrators and OEMs integrate and/or mate Company’s products with their hardware and software to produce turnkey wireless systems. These systems are then either sold or leased to other companies or organizations, including utility companies, financial institutions, petrochemical companies, the U.S. military, government agencies, and irrigation/water management companies.

The RadioMobile division sells its products directly and through value added resellers and dealers. Customers include municipalities for their police, fire, and emergency medical services, departments, as well as private rail, bus, taxi and courier services.

Manufacturing

The Company contracts with outside third parties for the manufacture of a significant portion of its coaxial connectors and for all the components of its Neulink products. However, virtually all of the RF cable assemblies sold by the Connector and Cable Assembly Division during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 were assembled by that division at the Company’s facilities in California. The Neulink products are assembled at the Company’s California facilities. The Connector and Cable Division has its cables manufactured at numerous International Standards Organization (ISO) approved factories with plants in the United States and Taiwan. The Company is dependent on a few manufacturers for its coaxial connectors and cable assemblies. Although the Company does not have manufacturing agreements with these manufacturers for its connectors, cable and Neulink products, the Company does have long-term purchasing relationships with these manufacturers. The Company has in-house design engineers who create the engineering drawings for fabrication and assembly of connectors and cable assemblies and certain of the components of its Neulink products. Accordingly, the manufacturers are not primarily responsible for design work related to the manufacture of the connectors and cable assemblies. However, the third party manufacturers of the Neulink products are solely responsible for design work related to the manufacture of the Neulink Division’s products. Neulink products are manufactured by numerous manufacturers in the United States, and the Company is not dependent on one or a few manufacturers for its Neulink products.

The Bioconnect Division has designed and manufactured its own products for over 23 years (including as an unaffiliated company before being acquired by the Company in 2000). Bioconnect products are manufactured by the Company at its own California facilities. The manufacturing process for the Bioconnect medical cables includes all aspects of the product, from the design to mold design, mold fabrication, assembly and testing. The Bioconnect product line produces its medical interconnect products in both high volume manufacturing and for custom or low volume uses.

The Aviel Electronics Division manufactures connectors at its Las Vegas, Nevada manufacturing facility. The Aviel Electronics Division has designed and manufactured its own products for 53 years (including as an unaffiliated company before being acquired by the Company in August 2004). The manufacturing process for the Aviel connectors includes all aspects of the product from design, tooling, fabrication, assembly and testing. The Aviel Electronics product line produces its connector products for low volume custom manufacturing uses, for the military, aerospace, communications and other unique applications.

The Oddcables.com Division designs and produces low to medium volume connector and cable assemblies for local and niche customers, as well as a few medium and large market customers. These services are performed in San Diego, California.

The RadioMobile Division products are purchased from various U.S. and overseas suppliers. Some products are designed and manufactured by third party manufacturers to RadioMobile’s specifications. The Company’s in-house software designers designs much of the software used in its RadioMobile systems.

Cables Unlimited manufactures its custom fiber optic cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses and other products in its Yaphank, New York manufacturing facility. Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty.

There are certain risks associated with the Company’s dependence on third party manufacturers for some of its products, including reduced control over delivery schedules, quality assurance, manufacturing costs, and the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand and increases in prices. See “Risk Factors” below.

Raw Materials

Connector materials are typically made of commodity metals such as copper, brass and zinc and include small applications of precious materials, including silver and gold. The Connector and Cable Division purchases most of its connector products from contract manufacturers located in Asia and the United States. The Company believes that the raw materials used in its products are readily available and that the Company is not currently dependent on any supplier for its raw materials. The Company does not currently have any long-term purchase or supply agreements with its connector or Neulink product suppliers. The RF Connector and Cable assembly division obtains coaxial connectors from RF Connector. The Company believes there are numerous domestic and international suppliers of coaxial connectors.

Neulink purchases its electronic products from various U.S. suppliers, and all Neulink wireless modem transceivers are built in the United States. The Company believes electronic components used in these products are readily available from a number of domestic suppliers and from other foreign suppliers.

Aviel connector materials are typically made of commodity metals and include some application of precious materials, including silver and gold. The Aviel Electronic Division purchases almost all of its connector materials and products from vendors in Asia and the United States. The Company believes the connector materials used in the manufacturing of its connector products are readily available from a number of foreign and domestic suppliers.

Oddcables.com connectors and cable are typically acquired from the Aviel and Connector and Cable divisions or purchased from other high quality manufacturers and distributors.

Bioconnect cable assembly materials are typically made of commodity materials such as plastics, rubber, resins and wire. The Company believes materials and components used in these products are readily available from a number of domestic suppliers and from other foreign suppliers.

RadioMobile purchases its electronic products from various U.S. and overseas suppliers.

The Cables Unlimited Division purchases all of its products from manufacturers located in the United States. Fiber optic cables are available from various manufacturers located throughout the United States; however, Cables Unlimited purchases most of its fiber optic cables from Corning Cables Systems LLC. The Company believes that the raw materials used by Cables Unlimited in its products are readily available and that Cables Unlimited is not currently dependent on any supplier for its raw materials. Cables Unlimited does not currently have any long-term purchase or supply agreements with its connector and cable suppliers.

Employees

As of October 31, 2011, the Company employed 166 full-time employees, of whom 46 were in accounting, administration, sales and management, 116 were in manufacturing, distribution and assembly, and four were engineers engaged in design, engineering and research and development. The employees are based at the Company’s offices in San Diego, California (99 employees), Las Vegas, Nevada (9 employees), and Yaphank, New York (58 employees). The Company also occasionally hires part-time employees. The Company believes that it has a good relationship with its employees. The newly acquired Cables Unlimited Division employs six fiber optic cable installers who are currently represented by a union. Other than the foregoing installers that belong to a union, none of the Company’s other employees are unionized.

Research and Development

The Company’s research and development activities are intended to produce new proprietary products that it can market to the wireless connectivity industry. The Company expended approximately $622,000 for research and development activities in fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, mostly for its Connector and Cable, RF Wireless, and Medical Cabling and Interconnector segments. Research and development expense during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 were approximately $422,000.

In addition to research and development activities, the Company also invested approximately $1,091,000 during the past two fiscal years in engineering. Engineering activities consist of the design and development of new products for specific customers, as well as the design and engineering of new or redesigned products for the industry in general. Engineering work is often carried out in collaboration with the Company’s customers.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

The Company does not own any patents on any of its products, nor has it registered any product trademarks. Because the Company carries thousands of separate types of connectors and other products, most of which are available to the Company’s customers from other sources, the Company does not believe that its business or competitive position is dependent on patent protection. Under its agreement with Corning Cables Systems LLC, Cables Unlimited is permitted to advertise that it is a Corning Cables System CAH Connections Gold Program member.

Warranties and Terms

The Company warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for varying warranty periods, depending upon the product. Products are generally warranted to the dealer for one year, with the dealer responsible for any additional warranty it may make. Certain Neulink products are sold directly to end-users and are warranted to those purchasers. The RF Connector products are warranted for the useful life of the connectors. Although the Company has not experienced any significant warranty claims to date, there can be no assurance that it will not be subjected to such claims in the future.

The Company usually sells to customers on 30-day terms pursuant to invoices and does not generally grant extended payment terms. Sales to most foreign customers are made on cash terms at time of shipment. Customers may delay, cancel, reduce, or return products after shipment subject to a restocking charge.

Under its agreement with Corning Cables Systems LLC, Cables Unlimited is authorized to manufacture optic cable assemblies that are backed by Corning Cables Systems’ extended warranty (referred to as the “Gold Certified Warranty”).

Competition

The Company and industry analysts estimate that the worldwide sales of interconnect products were approximately $42-$45 billion in 2011. The Company believes that the worldwide industry for interconnect products and systems is highly fragmented with over 2,000 producers of connectors and interconnect systems. Management believes the industry is fragmented with no one competitor having over a 15% share of the total market, while the 10 largest competitors constitute approximately 61% of the total market. Many of the competitors of the Connector and Cable Division have significantly greater financial resources and broader product lines. The Connector and Cable Division competes on the basis of product quality, product availability, price, service, delivery time and value-added support to its distributors and OEM customers. Since the Company’s strategy is to provide a broad selection of products in the areas in which it competes and to have a ready supply of those products available at all times, the Company normally has a significant amount of inventory of its connector products.

The Bioconnect division competes with numerous other companies in all areas of its operations, including the manufacture of OEM custom products and medical cable products. Most of the competitors of Bioconnect are larger and have significantly greater financial resources than Bioconnect.

Aviel Electronics has specialized in microwave and radio frequency (RF) custom connectors which lowers the number of its direct competitors. Because Aviel Electronics is an approved vendor of leading aerospace, electronics, OEM and government agencies in the United States and abroad, competition is limited to those manufacturers who have received formal certification or approval.

Major competitors for Neulink include Microwave Data Systems and Data Radio. Although a number of larger firms could enter Neulink’s markets with similar products, Neulink’s strategy is focused on serving and providing specific hardware and software combinations with the goal of maintaining a strong position in selected “niche” wireless applications. While the Neulink Division’s competitors offer products that are substantially similar to Neulink’s radio modems, the Neulink Division tries to enhance its competitive position by offering additional product support services before, during, and after the sale.

RadioMobile competitors include Motorola, Intergraph, Northrop Grumman, Panasonic, and cellular providers including Verizon Wireless and AT&T. RadioMobile’s strategy is focusing on providing cost effective mobile data network solutions for small to medium size customers.

Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cables System CAH Connections Gold Program member, which permits it to manufacture fiber optic cable assemblies that are backed by Corning Cables Systems’ extended warranty. There are 14 other companies in the U.S. that are Corning Cables System CAH Connections Gold Program members.

Government Regulations

The Company’s products are designed to meet all known existing or proposed governmental regulations. Management believes that the Company currently meets existing standards for approvals by government regulatory agencies for its principal products. Because the products designed and sold by the Aviel Electronics Division are used in commercial and military aerospace products, its products are regulated by various government agencies in the United States and abroad.

Neulink products are subject to the regulations of the FCC in the United States, the Department of Communications (D.O.C.) in Canada, and the E.C.C. Radio Regulation Division in Europe. The Company’s present equipment is “type-accepted” for use in the United States and Canada. Neulink offers products that comply with current FCC, Industry Canada, and some European Union regulations. The system integrator, or end user, is responsible for compliance with applicable government regulations.

Bioconnect products are subject to the regulations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The Company’s products are Restriction on Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) compliant.

ITEM 1.A

RISK FACTORS

Investors should carefully consider the risks described below and all other information in this Form 10-K. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that it currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company’s business and operations.

If any of the following risks actually occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of the Company’s common stock could decline and investors may lose all or part of the money they paid to buy the Company’s common stock.

The Company Is Highly Dependent Upon The RF Connector and Cable Assembly Segment, And Any Major Decline In That Division’s Operations Would Negatively Affect The Company As A Whole.

Of the Company’s four operating segments, the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment is the largest; accounting for approximately 71% and 86% of the Company’s total sales for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company expects the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment products will continue to account for the majority of the Company’s revenues for the near future. Accordingly, an adverse change in the operations of that segment could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. Factors that could adversely affect the RF Connector and Cable segment are described below.

Difficult Conditions In The Global Economy In General Have Adversely Affected the Company’s Business And Results Of Operations And It Is Uncertain If These Conditions Will Improve In The Near Future, And They May Worsen.

A prolonged economic downturn, both in the U.S. and worldwide, may continue to lead to lower sales or reduced sales growth, reduced prices, lower gross margins, and increased bad debt risks, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Slowing economic activity, particularly in the telecommunication and data communication and wireless communications industries that represent the Company’s largest target market, may adversely impact the demand for the Company’s products. Although the Company has been able to operate profitably, sales in fiscal 2011 of its RF Connector products decreased slightly compared with the prior year. If the current economic downturn continues or intensifies, the Company’s results could be more adversely affected in the future. There could be a number of other adverse follow-on effects from the credit crisis on the Company’s business, including insolvency of certain key distributors, key suppliers, contract manufacturers and customers.

The Company Depends On Third-Party Contract Manufacturers For A Majority Of Its Connector Manufacturing Needs. If They Are Unable To Manufacture A Sufficient Quantity Of High-Quality Products On A Timely And Cost-Efficient Basis, The Company’s Net Revenue And Profitability Would Be Harmed And Its Reputation May Suffer.

Substantially all of the Company’s RF Connector products are manufactured by third-party contract manufacturers. The Company relies on them to procure components for RF Connectors and in certain cases to design, assemble and test its products on a timely and cost-efficient basis. If the Company’s contract manufacturers are unable to complete design work on a timely basis, the Company will experience delays in product development and its ability to compete may be harmed. In addition, because some of the Company’s manufacturers have manufacturing facilities in Taiwan and China, their ability to provide the Company with adequate supplies of high-quality products on a timely and cost-efficient basis is subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including earthquakes and other natural disasters and political, social and economic instability. If the Company’s manufacturers are unable to provide it with adequate supplies of high-quality products on a timely and cost-efficient basis, the Company’s operations would be disrupted and its net revenue and profitability would suffer. Moreover, if the Company’s third-party contract manufacturers cannot consistently produce high-quality products that are free of defects, the Company may experience a higher rate of product returns, which would also reduce its profitability and may harm the Company’s reputation and brand.

The Company does not currently have any agreements with any of its contract manufacturers, and such manufacturers could stop manufacturing products for the Company at any time. Although the Company believes that it could locate alternate contract manufacturers if any of its manufacturers terminated their business, the Company’s operations could be impacted until alternate manufacturers are found.

The Company’s Dependence On Third-Party Manufacturers Increases The Risk That It Will Not Have An Adequate Supply Of Products Or That Its Product Costs Will Be Higher Than Expected.

The risks associated with the Company’s dependence upon third parties which develop and manufacture and assemble the Company’s products, include:

reduced control over delivery schedules and quality;

risks of inadequate manufacturing yields and excessive costs;

the potential lack of adequate capacity during periods of excess demand; and

potential increases in prices due to raw material and/or labor costs.

These risks may lead to increased costs or delay product delivery, which would harm the Company’s profitability and customer relationships.

If The Manufacturers of the Company’s Coaxial Connectors Or Other Products Discontinue The Manufacturing Processes Needed To Meet The Company’s Demands Or Fail To Upgrade Their Technologies, the Company May Face Production Delays.

The Company’s coaxial connector and other product requirements typically represent a small portion of the total production of the third-party manufacturers. As a result, the Company is subject to the risk that a third party manufacturer will cease production of some of the Company’s products or fail to continue to advance the process design technologies on which the manufacturing of the Company’s products are based. Each of these events could increase the Company’s costs, harm its ability to deliver products on time, or develop new products.

The Company’s Dependence Upon Independent Distributors To Sell And Market The Company’s Products Exposes The Company To The Risk That Such Distributors May Decrease Their Sales Of The Company’s Products Or Terminate Their Relationship With The Company.

The Company’s sales efforts are primarily affected through independent distributors. Sales through independent distributors accounted for approximately 49% of the net sales of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Although the Company has entered into written agreements with most of the distributors, the agreements are nonexclusive and generally may be terminated by either party upon 30-60 days’ written notice. The Company’s distributors are not within the control of the Company, are not obligated to purchase products from the Company, and may also sell other lines of products. There can be no assurance that these distributors will continue their current relationships with the Company or that they will not give higher priority to the sale of other products, which could include products of competitors. A reduction in sales efforts or discontinuance of sales of the Company’s products by its distributors would lead to reduced sales and could materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and business. Selling through indirect channels such as distributors may limit the Company’s contact with its ultimate customers and the Company’s ability to assure customer satisfaction.

A Portion Of The Company’s Sales Is Dependent Upon A Few Principal Customers, The Loss Of Whom Could Materially Negatively Affect The Company’s Total Sales.

One customer accounted for approximately 17% of the total sales of the Company for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011. Although this customer has been an on-going major customer of the Company for at least the past 10 years and the Company has entered into a written distributor agreement with this customer, this customer does not have any minimum purchase obligations and could stop buying the Company’s products at any time. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and profits. The Company cannot provide assurance that this customer or any of its current customers will continue to place orders, that orders by existing customers will continue at current or historical levels or that the Company will be able to obtain orders from new customers.

Certain of The Company’s Markets Are Subject To Rapid Technological Change, So the Company’s Success In These Markets Depends On Its Ability To Develop And Introduce New Products.

Although most of the Company’s products have a stable market and are only gradually phased out, certain of the new and emerging markets, such as the wireless digital transmission markets, are characterized by:

rapidly changing technologies;

evolving and competing industry standards;

short product life cycles;

changing customer needs;

emerging competition;

frequent new product introductions and enhancements; and

rapid product obsolescence.

To develop new products for the connector and wireless digital transmission markets, the Company must develop, gain access to and use new technologies in a cost-effective and timely manner. In addition, the Company must maintain close working relationship with key customers in order to develop new products that meet customers’ changing needs. The Company also must respond to changing industry standards and technological changes on a timely and cost-effective basis.

Products for connector applications are based on industry standards that are continually evolving. The Company’s ability to compete in the future will depend on its ability to identify and ensure compliance with these evolving industry standards. If the Company is not successful in developing or using new technologies or in developing new products or product enhancements, its future revenues may be materially affected. The Company’s attempt to keep up with technological advances may require substantial time and expense.

Because The Markets In Which The Company Competes Are Highly Competitive, A Failure To Effectively Compete Could Result In An Immediate And Substantial Loss Of Market Share.

The markets in which the Company operates are highly competitive and the Company expects that competition will increase in these markets. In particular, the connector and communications markets in which the Company’s products are sold are intensely competitive. A failure to effectively compete in this market could result in an immediate and substantial loss of revenues and market share. Because most of the Company’s sales are derived from products that are not proprietary or that can be used to distinguish the Company from its competitors, the Company’s ability to compete successfully in these markets depends on a number of factors, including:

product quality;

reliability;

customer support;

time-to-market;

price;

market acceptance of competitors’ products; and

general economic conditions.

In addition, the Company’s competitors or customers may offer enhancements to its existing products or offer new products based on new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements that have the potential to replace or provide lower-cost or higher performance alternatives to the Company’s products. The introduction of enhancements or new products by the Company’s competitors could render its existing and future products obsolete or unmarketable.

Many of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial and other resources. In certain circumstances, the Company’s customers or potential customers have internal manufacturing capabilities with which the Company may compete.

If The Industries Into Which The Company Sells Its Products Experience Recession Or Other Cyclical Effects Impacting The Budgets Of Its Customers, The Company’s Operating Results Could Be Negatively Impacted.

The primary customers for the Company’s coaxial connectors are in the communications industries. Any significant downturn in the Company’s customers’ markets, in particular, or in general economic conditions which result in the cut back of budgets would likely result in a reduction in demand for the Company’s products and services and could harm the Company’s business. Historically, the communications industry has been cyclical, affected by both economic conditions and industry-specific cycles. Depressed general economic conditions and cyclical downturns in the communications industry have each had an adverse effect on sales of communications equipment, OEMs and their suppliers, including the Company. No assurance can be given that the connector industry will not experience a material downturn in the near future. Any cyclical downturn in the connector and/or communications industry could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Because The Company Sells Its Products To Foreign Customers, The Company Is Exposed To All Of The Risks Associated With International Sales, Including Foreign Currency Exposure.

Sales to customers located outside the United States, either directly or through U.S. and foreign distributors, accounted for approximately 11% of the net sales of the Company during the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010. International revenues are subject to a number of risks, including:

longer accounts receivable payment cycles;

difficulty in enforcing agreements and in collecting accounts receivable;

tariffs and other restrictions on foreign trade;

economic and political instability; and the

burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws.

The Company’s foreign sales are also affected by general economic conditions in its international markets. A prolonged economic downturn in its foreign markets could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business. There can be no assurance that the factors described above will not have an adverse material effect on the Company’s future international revenues and, consequently, on the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company.

Since sales made to foreign customers or foreign distributors have historically been in U.S. dollars, the Company has not been exposed to the risks of foreign currency fluctuations. However, if the Company in the future is required to accept sales denominated in the currencies of the countries where sales are made, the Company will thereafter also be exposed to currency fluctuation risks.

The Loss Of Key Personnel Could Adversely Affect The Company’s Operations.

The Company’s success will depend to a significant extent on the continued service of the Company’s senior executives including Howard Hill, its Chief Executive Officer, and certain other key employees, including certain technical and marketing personnel. The Company’s employment agreement with Mr. Hill expires by its terms on July 31, 2013. No assurance can be given that Mr. Hill will continue to be employed by this Company after the expiration of his employment agreement. If the Company lost the services of Mr. Hill or one or more of the Company’s key executives or employees (including if one or more of the Company’s officers or employees decided to join a competitor or otherwise compete directly or indirectly with the Company), this could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results, and financial condition.

The Company May Make Future Acquisitions, Which Will Involve Numerous Risks.

Since August 2004, the Company has purchased the operations of four smaller businesses (it purchased Aviel Electronics in Las Vegas, Nevada, in August 2004, Oddcables.com in San Diego, California, in September 2005, RadioMobile, Inc. in San Diego, California, in September 2007, and Cables Unlimited in Yaphank New York in June 2011). The Company regularly considers potential acquisitions of other companies that could expand the Company’s product line or customer base and may in the future make additional acquisitions. Accordingly, the Company will be subject to numerous risks associated with the acquisition of additional companies, including:

diversion of management’s attention;

the effect on the Company’s financial statements of the amortization of acquired intangible assets;

the cost associated with acquisitions and the integration of acquired operations;

the Company may not be able to secure capital to finance future acquisitions to the extent additional debt or equity is needed; and

assumption of unknown liabilities, or other unanticipated events or circumstances.

Any of these risks could materially harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that any business that the Company acquires will achieve anticipated revenues or operating results.

The Company Has No Patent Rights In The Technology Employed In Its Products, Which May Limit the Company’s Ability To Compete.

The Company does not hold any United States or foreign patents and does not have any patents pending. The Company does not seek to protect its rights in the technology that it develops or that the Company’s third-party contract manufacturers develop by means of the patent laws, although it does protect some aspects of its proprietary products and technologies by means of copyright and trade secret laws. Accordingly, competitors can and do sell many of the same products as the Company, and the Company cannot prevent or restrict such competition.

Volatility of Trading Prices Of The Company’s Stock Could Result In A Loss On An Investment In The Company’s Stock.

In the past several years the market price of the Company’s common stock has varied greatly, and the volume of the Company’s common stock traded has fluctuated greatly as well. These fluctuations often occur independently of the Company’s performance or any announcements by the Company. Factors that may result in such fluctuations include:

any shortfall in revenues or net income from revenues or net income expected by securities analysts

fluctuations in the Company’s financial results or the results of other connector and communications-related companies, including those of the Company’s direct competitors

changes in analysts’ estimates of the Company’s financial performance, the financial performance of the Company’s competitors, or the financial performance of connector and communications-related public companies in general

general conditions in the connector and communications industries

changes in the Company’s revenue growth rates or the growth rates of the Company’s competitors

sales of large blocks of the Company’s common stock

conditions in the financial markets in general

In addition, the stock market may from time to time experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which may be unrelated to the operating performance of any specific company. Accordingly, the market prices of the Company’s common stock may be expected to experience significant fluctuations in the future.

ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

Not applicable to a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of SEC Regulation S-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventory reserves and contingencies on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

One of the accounting policies that involves significant judgments and estimates concerns our inventory valuation. Inventories are valued at the weighted average cost value. Certain items in the inventory may be considered obsolete or excess and, as such, we establish an allowance to reduce the carrying value of these items to their net realizable value. Based on estimates, assumptions and judgments made from the information available at the time, we determine the amounts of these allowances. Because inventories have, during the past few years, represented up to one-third of our total assets, any reduction in the value of our inventories would require us to take write-offs that would affect our net worth and future earnings.

Another accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is our accounts receivable allowance valuation. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.

Another critical accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is management’s assessment of non-amortizable intangible assets for impairments. We review our non-amortizable intangible asset for impairment annually in the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level. We also analyze each quarter whether any indicators of impairment exist.

Another critical accounting policy that involves significant judgments and estimates is management’s assessment of goodwill for impairments. We review our goodwill for impairment annually in the fourth quarter at the reporting unit level. We also analyze each quarter whether any indicators of impairment exist.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the stock option grants which involves significant judgments and estimates.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For recently issued accounting pronouncements that may affect us, see Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

OVERVIEW

The Company markets connectors and cables to numerous industries for use in thousands of products, primarily for the wireless market. The Company aggregates operating divisions into operating segments which have similar economic characteristics and divisions are similar in the majority of the following areas: (1) the nature of the product and services; (2) the nature of the production process; (3) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (4) the methods used to distribute their products or services; (5) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has four segments - the “RF Connector and Cable Assembly” segment; the “Medical Cabling and Interconnector” segment; the “Cables Unlimited” segment; and the “RF Wireless” segment- based upon this evaluation.

The RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment is comprised of three divisions; the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment is comprised of one division, the Cables Unlimited segment is comprised of one division, while the RF Wireless segment is comprised of two divisions. The four divisions that meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting are Connector and Cable Assembly, Bioconnect, Cables Unlimited, and RF Neulink. Each of the other divisions aggregated into these segments that have similar products that are marketed to their respective customer base; production and product development processes are similar in nature. The specific customers are different for each division; however, there is some overlapping of product sales to them. The methods used to distribute products are similar within each division aggregated.

Management identifies the Company’s segments based on strategic business units that are, in turn, based along market lines. These strategic business units offer products and services to different markets in accordance with their customer base and product usage. For segment reporting purposes, the Company aggregates the Connector and Cable Assembly, Aviel Electronics and Oddcables.com divisions into the RF Connector Cable Assembly segment, and the RF Neulink and RadioMobile divisions into the RF Wireless segment. The Bioconnect division makes up the Company’s Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment, while the Cables Unlimited division is the Cables Unlimited segment.

Historically, most of the Company’s revenues were generated from the sale of RF connector products and connector cable assemblies (the Connector and Cable Assembly division accounted for approximately 61% of the Company’s total sales for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, and 76% of revenues for the prior fiscal year). Sales of connectors are expected to continue to be the largest portion of revenues in the future. Accordingly, Company revenues are heavily dependent upon sales of RF connectors and cable assemblies. However, the Company sells thousands of connector products for uses in thousands of end products and sales are not dependent upon any one industry sector or any single product. The Company’s sales do, however, track sales in the wireless industry as a whole.

The net income in fiscal 2011 represented the 18th consecutive year that the Company has been profitable.

On June 15, 2011 the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Cables Unlimited, Inc., through the merger of CUI Acquisitions, Inc., a newly formed New York corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Cables Unlimited. The Company paid $5,600,000 for Cables Unlimited. The purchase price was paid one-half in cash and one-half in shares of unregistered common stock of the Company. At the closing on June 15, 2011, the Company issued to the owner of Cables Unlimited 762,738 shares of the Company’s common stock (the number of shares is equal to $2,800,000 divided by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the date on which the transaction was first publicly disclosed), and $2,800,000 in cash. Of the cash amount, $2,550,000 was paid to seller at the closing, and $250,000 was deposited into an escrow account with a New York bank, to be held in escrow for up to one year following the closing as security for the seller’s indemnification obligations under the acquisition agreement. The results of Cables Unlimited operations after June 15, 2011 have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Management believes that its existing current assets and the amount of cash it anticipates it will generate from current operations will be sufficient to fund the anticipated liquidity and capital resource needs of the Company for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”). The Company does not, however, currently have any commercial banking arrangements providing for loans or credit facilities should the Company need to obtain additional capital. Management believes that its existing assets and the cash it expects to generate from operations will be sufficient during the current fiscal year based on the following:

As of October 31, 2011, the amount of cash and cash equivalents and short-term certificates of deposit was equal to $5,855,540 in the aggregate. Accordingly, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash available to operate its current business and fund its anticipated capital expenditures for the upcoming year.

As of October 31, 2011, the Company had $16,413,206 in current assets and $3,494,849 in current liabilities.

Management believes that based on the Company’s financial condition at October 31, 2011, and its recent operating results, there are sufficient capital resources to fund its operations and future acquisitions for at least the next 12 months. Should the Company need to obtain additional funds for unexpected capital improvements or other expansion activities, based on its balance sheet and its history of profitability, the Company believes that it would be able to obtain bank loans to finance these expenditures. However, there can be no assurance any bank loan would be obtainable, or if obtained, would be on favorable terms or conditions.

The Company is not a party to off-balance sheet arrangements and does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. In addition, the Company has no financial guarantees or lease agreements or other arrangements that could trigger a requirement for an early payment or that could impact the value of the Company’s assets. As of October 31, 2011 (the date of the financial information contained herein), the Company had two mortgage notes relating to a variable interest in a variable interest entity (“VIE”) ( the entity that owns the New York real property leased to Cable Unlimited). Cables Unlimited, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary leases a building in New York this is owned by an entity affiliated with Darren Clark, a director of the Company. One of the mortgage notes was guaranteed by Cables Unlimited and collateralized by the real property, while the other note was guaranteed by Cables Unlimited and Darren Clark, and is collateralized by the guarantee on the real property. As of November 7, 2011, one of the mortgage notes was repaid by Mr. Clark (the Company did not make any payments), and the guarantee on the real property was released. In addition, Cables Unlimited was released as guarantor on the second mortgage, which was refinanced by Mr. Clark in January 2012. As a result, as of the date of this Annual Report, the VIE interest is no longer in effect.

As part of its business strategy, and because of its offshore manufacturing arrangements, the Company normally maintains a significant level of inventory. As described elsewhere in this Annual Report, one of the Company’s competitive advantages and strategies is to maintain customer satisfaction by having sufficient inventory on hand to fulfill most customer orders on short notice. Accordingly, the Company maintains a significant amount of inventory, which increases or decreases to reflect the Company’s sales and lead times for products. Due to a 19% increase in sales, attributable primarily to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited, in fiscal 2011 compared to sales of the prior year, the Company’s year-end inventory balance increased by 34% compared to prior year’s year-end inventory balance. The Company continuously monitors its inventory levels and product costs. For inventory purchase pricing purposes, the Company may, however, increase its inventory levels from time to time to protect against anticipated future increases in raw material costs or to obtain volume discounts.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended October 31, 2011 was $122,844. The Company’s net cash from operations was less than its net income of $773,011 due primarily to $1,228,728 of cash that was used by the Company to purchase additional inventory. The large outlay of cash to purchase inventory was offset by $796,619 of non-cash expenses ($391,633 of depreciation and amortization, $312,311 of stock compensation expense, and $92,675 of inventory write-downs), a $750,531 increase in collections of accounts receivable, and a $210,645 increase in accrued expenses. In fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities was $2,502,656.

During fiscal 2011, net cash used in investing activities was $1,738,868, which represents the difference between the proceeds the Company received from the maturity of certain of its certificates of deposit and the amount re-invested in new certificates of deposit, less the proceeds paid for the acquisition of Cables Unlimited of $2,800,000 and $368,205 that the Company invested in additional capital equipment (primarily for the Connector and Cable, Cables Unlimited, Aviel, and Bioconnect divisions). During fiscal 2010, net cash provided by investing activities was $801,071.

In fiscal 2011, financing activities decreased the Company’s net cash by $1,352,044 due primarily to (i) dividends paid of $2,528,971, and (ii) $102,705 used to repurchase 31,812 shares of Company common stock. These cash outlays were partially offset by the receipt of $981,753 from the exercise of stock options and $312,325 of excess tax benefits. In fiscal 2010, financing activities increased the Company’s net cash provided by $199,230 due to the receipt of $205,108 from the exercise of stock options and $78,235 of excess tax benefits, which was offset by dividends paid of $84,113. No shares were repurchased during fiscal 2010.

The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact on its business or operations.

Results of Operations

The following summarizes the key components of the results of operations for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

	2011					2010
	Amount		% of Net Sales			Amount		% of Net Sales

Net sales of the Company increased by $3,111,000 or 19%, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”) compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”). Net sales increased in fiscal 2011 due primarily to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited, which contributed sales of $2,644,000 during the four and a half month period between the date of its acquisition (June 15, 2011) and the end of the fiscal year, and increased sales at the Medical Cabling and Interconnector and RF Wireless segments. Net sales at the Connector and Cable Assembly segment decreased from fiscal 2010 by $226,000. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in sales to the Company’s primary distributors. Net sales at the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment increased by $429,000, or 25%, compared to fiscal 2010 due primarily to an increase in sales with its main customers. The RF Wireless segment experienced an increase in sales of $265,000 compared to sales in fiscal 2010, representing an increase of $76,000 in sales by the RadioMobile Division and an increase of approximately $189,000 in sales by the Neulink division. Net sales in the RF Wireless division are expected to increase significantly in fiscal 2012 as a result of the $2.6 million contract RadioMobile received from the Los Angeles County Fire Department in November 2011 for the implementation of a wireless system upgrade to the County Fire Department's existing remote communications equipment. Based on the build-out schedule in the agreement with the fire department, the Company anticipates that approximately $1.7 million of the $2.6 million contract will be recognized in fiscal 2012.

The Company’s gross profit increased by $1,173,000 or by 14% to $9,336,000 in 2011 from $8,163,000 in 2010 due to the increase in net sales. However, as a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased slightly to 48% in fiscal 2011, from 50% in fiscal 2010, due to the lower margins of the Cables Unlimited segment.

Engineering expenses, which include research and development expenses, incurred at the Company’s four segments and relating to the design, re-design or development of products for specific customers increased from the prior year by $359,000 to $1,247,000 compared to $888,000 in fiscal 2010. As a percentage of net sales, engineering expenses increased to 6% in fiscal 2011 from 5% in fiscal 2010. Engineering expense (including research and development) during fiscal 2011 related to development of new products at the Connector and Cable, RF Wireless, Medical Cabling and Interconnector, and Cables Unlimited segments. The Company collectively incurred approximately $622,000 of research and development expenses in fiscal 2011 in the development of new products compared to $422,000 of research and development expenses in fiscal 2010. Research and development expenses increased 47%, or $200,000 compared with prior year’s expense due primarily to certain projects nearing completion at the RF Wireless division and related increases in contract labor expense.

Selling and general expenses increased by $1,820,000 or 35%, to $6,954,000 during fiscal 2011 from $5,134,000 in fiscal 2010. This increase is primarily related to the increase in the Company’s overall operations and in the expenses incurred by the Cables Unlimited division since its acquisition. Since sales increased by a lower percentage than the increase in selling and general expenses, as a percentage of sales, selling and general expenses increased to 36% from 31% in fiscal 2010. Stock based compensation expense increased by $81,000 to $312,000 in fiscal 2011 from $231,000 in fiscal 2010. Stock based compensation increased due to an increase in options granted compared with fiscal 2010, coupled with the effects of a one-time charge of $17,000 relating to the extension of two former board members exercise period for their outstanding grants at their date of departure from the board of directors. Sales commission expense increased by $42,000 or 52% to $124,000 in fiscal 2011 from $82,000 in fiscal 2010 due to restructuring of our sales commission plan and the increases in sales at certain of the Company’s divisions. Accounting and legal fees increased significantly by $672,000 to $976,000 in fiscal 2011 from $304,000 in fiscal 2010 primarily due to expenses related to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited and other proxy and legal matters. Advertising costs increased by $29,000 to $244,000 in fiscal 2011 from $215,000 in fiscal 2010 due to an increase in marketing efforts in fiscal 2011 compared to prior year.

In fiscal 2010, the Company performed an impairment analysis of the Aviel goodwill balance. The sales generated by this division were significantly lower than expected and the forecasted improvements from prior periods did not occur. As a result of its impairment analysis, management wrote off the $137,328 of goodwill attributed to Aviel and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $137,328 in fiscal 2010. No such impairment charge was recorded in fiscal 2011.

Despite the increase in sales in fiscal 2011 and the increase of $1,173,000 in gross profit compared to fiscal 2010, operating income in fiscal 2011 decreased by $868,000, or 43%, to $1,136,000. The decrease is attributable to the increase in operating expense of $2,041,000, which included one-time expenses of $673,000 related to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited and other professional fees related to resolving certain issues with an activist shareholder.

Other net income decreased by approximately $71,000 from the prior year due primarily to a decrease in interest rates on the funds held by the Company in its interest bearing accounts compared to the rates received during fiscal 2010, a decrease in investments in certificates of deposits compared with the prior year, and the addition of interest expense of $29,000 incurred by the Company’s VIE relating to its mortgages payable. During fiscal 2011, the Company continued to invest primarily in certificates of deposit and money market funds.

Income before taxes in fiscal 2011 decreased by 45% or by $939,000 to $1,152,000 compared to income before taxes of $2,091,000 in fiscal 2010. Net income for fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 decreased by $447,000 or 37% to $773,000 compared to $1,220,000 in fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2011 decreased 8.7% to 32.9% compared to 41.6% in fiscal 2010 due to the Company’s recognition of one-time net tax benefits. The Company recognized approximately $34,000 related to a Federal research and development tax credit the Company was not able to recognize in its financial statements in 2010 due to the law not being enacted by October 31, 2010. On December 16, 2010, Congress passed the 2010 Tax Relief Act, which impacted the Company’s tax provision in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. Due to the enactment of the 2010 Tax Relief Act, the Company claimed an increased net tax credit related to the year ended October 31, 2010 for research and development related to the year ended October 31, 2010 of approximately $34,000. The credit was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The Company recognized approximately $116,000 of a net tax benefit for uncertain tax positions where the statute of limitations expired during the quarter ended July 31, 2011. Also included in the provision for income taxes for the year ended October 31, 2011, and contributing to the decrease in the tax rate is approximately $73,000 of state tax refunds received in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from amended tax returns which the Company filed to reapportion taxable income between the Company’s activities in both California and Nevada. Without these adjustments, the effective tax rate for fiscal 2011 would have been higher.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide reasonable assurance only of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in weighting the costs and benefits of possible new or different controls and procedures. Limitations are inherent in all control systems, so no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and any fraud have been detected.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report, management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and for performing an assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2011. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. .

Our system of internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on the above evaluation, our management has concluded that the system of internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of October 31, 2011. We have excluded from this assessment the operations of Cables Unlimited, which are included in the consolidated financial statements of RF Industries, Ltd. and constituted an aggregate of approximately $2,959,000 in total assets as of October 31, 2011 and approximately $2,644,000 and $30,000 of revenues and net income, respectively, for the year then ended.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2011 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The Audit Committee meets periodically with the Company’s management and independent registered public accounting firm to, among other things, review the results of the annual audit and quarterly reviews and discuss the financial statements. The audit committee also hires the independent registered public accounting firm, and receives and considers the accountant’s comments as to controls, adequacy of staff and management performance and procedures.

No other executive officer of the Company received salary and bonus, which exceeded $100,000 in the aggregate during the fiscal year, ended October 31, 2011:

Summary Compensation Table

Name and Principal Position	Year	Salary ($)		Bonus ($)		Stock Awards ($)		Option Awards ($)(3)		Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation ($)		Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings ($)		All Other Compensation ($)			Total ($)
Howard F. Hill
Chief Executive	2011		226,512		80,000		-		11,151		-		-		43,358	(1)		361,021
Officer and Director	2010		211,292		50,000		-		7,422		-		-		45,877			314,591

	2010		111,624		25,000		-		29,524		-		-		10,972			177,120

(1) Mr. Hill’s other compensation consisted of $26,181 of accrued vacation not taken in fiscal 2011 and $17,177 for vehicle and apartment rental costs. Because Mr. Hill does not live in San Diego, the Company has maintained an apartment in San Diego for Mr. Hill and some of the other managers since 1994. The compensation attributable to the use of a Company vehicle represents the value of his personal use of a Company vehicle.

(2) Mr. Doss’s other compensation consisted of $3,932 of accrued vacation not taken in fiscal 2011 and $13,170 for vehicle costs.

(3) The amounts in this column represent the option awards recognized by the Company as an expense for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of these awards and the amounts expensed were determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ASC Topic 718 (Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) Share Based Payment (FAS 123R)). The assumptions we use in calculating these amounts are discussed in Note 7, “Stock options,” to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2011 Option Grants

In fiscal 2011, we granted stock options to our Named Executive Officers under our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan as follows:

2011 Grants of Plan-Based Awards

Name	Grant Date	All Other Option Awards (# of Shares)		Exercise Price of Option Awards ($/Share)(1)		Grant Date Fair Value of Option Awards ($)(2)
Howard F. Hill
Chief Executive Officer	12/10/10		4,000		3.14		3,995
	10/31/11		4,000		3.16		3,279
James Doss
President and Chief Financial Officer	12/10/10		4,000		3.14		3,995
	10/31/11		2,000		3.16		1,639

(1) The exercise price of options awarded during fiscal 2011 was the closing sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the date of grant.

(2) The grant date fair value of each equity award is computed in accordance with ASC 718.

Option awards granted under the 2010 Stock Incentive Plan during fiscal 2011 to employees of our company, including the named executive officers, have an exercise price equal to 100% of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of grant. Each stock option vests and becomes exercisable as to 33.33% of the shares subject to the option on each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the date of grant and has a five-year term. The vested portion of the options may be exercised while the participant is employed by us, and ordinarily for three months after employment ends (unless employment is terminated for cause). If a participant’s employment ends because of death or disability, the participant’s options will remain exercisable for one year after the date employment ends. In no case will an option be exercisable beyond the end of its original term. If a participant’s employment ends, the unvested portion of any outstanding option will terminate at the time the participant’s employment ends. In the event of a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the capital stock or assets of the Company, or a merger or consolidation of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, the Board of Directors may replace outstanding options with replacement options relating to the stock of the surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent), or with shares of the surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent) with a fair market value equal to the aggregate spread of the options being replaced. If no such replacement is made, or in the event of our dissolution, liquidation or sale of substantially all of our assets, each option will be canceled at the time of the triggering event.

Holdings of Previously Awarded Equity

Equity awards held as of October 31, 2011 by each of our named executive officers were issued under our 2000 Stock Option Plan and 2010 Stock Incentive Plan, except for options to purchase 215,204 shares that were granted to Mr. Hill in 1994 under his employment agreement. The following table sets forth outstanding equity awards held by our Named Executive Officers as of October 31, 2011:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On April 1, 1997, the Company loaned to Howard Hill, its President at that time and Chief Executive Officer, $70,000 pursuant to a Promissory Note which provides for interest at the rate of 6% per annum and which has no specific due date for principal repayment. As of October 31, 2011, the principal balance still outstanding on the loan was $66,980. Mr. Hill pays interest on the loan annually. The note is collateralized by personal property owned by Mr. Hill.

Mr. Jacobs, a former director of the Company, is an employee of the Company’s public relations firm. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the Company paid the firm $52,683 and $52,783, respectively, for services rendered.

On June 15, 2011, the Company purchased Cables Unlimited, Inc., a New York corporation, from Darren Clark, the sole shareholder of Cables Unlimited, Inc., for $5,600,000. The purchase price was paid one-half in cash and one-half in shares of unregistered common stock of the Company. At the closing on June 15, 2011, the Company issued to Mr. Clark 762,738 shares of the Company’s common stock (the number of shares is equal to $2,800,000 divided by the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days prior to the date on which the transaction was first publicly disclosed), and $2,800,000 in cash. Of the cash amount, $2,550,000 was paid to Mr. Clark at the closing, and $250,000 was deposited into an escrow account with a New York bank, to be held in escrow for up to one year following the closing as security for Mr. Clark’s indemnification obligations under the acquisition agreement. Prior to the purchase, Darren Clark was not affiliated with the Company. In connection with the acquisition, Mr. Clark was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors.

After Cables Unlimited became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, the Company entered into a five-year lease for the New York facilities from which Cables Unlimited conducts its operations. Cables Unlimited’s monthly rent expense under the lease is $13,000 per month, plus payments of all utilities, janitorial expenses, routine maintenance costs, and costs of insurance for Cables Unlimited’s business operations and equipment. The landlord is a company controlled by Darren Clark, the former owner of Cables Unlimited and a current director of the Company.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RF Industries, Ltd. and Subsidiary as of October 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

RF INDUSTRIES, LTD. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Business activities and summary of significant accounting policies

Business activities

The Company’s business is comprised of the design, manufacture and/or sale of communications equipment primarily to the radio and other professional communications related industries. The Company currently conducts its operations through seven related business divisions: (i) RF Connector and Cable Division is engaged in the design, manufacture and distribution of coaxial connectors and cable assemblies used primarily in radio and other professional communications applications; (ii) Aviel Division is engaged in the design, manufacture and sales of radio frequency, microwave and specialized connectors and connector assemblies for aerospace, original electronics manufacturers and military electronics applications; (iii) Oddcables.com Division is engaged in sales of microwave and radio frequency connectors and cable assemblies to end users in multi-media, radio and other communications applications; (iv) Bioconnect Division is engaged in the design, manufacture and sales of cable interconnects for medical monitoring applications; (v) Neulink Division is engaged in the design, manufacture and sales of radio links for receiving and transmitting control signals for remote operation and monitoring of equipment, personnel and monitoring services; (vi) RadioMobile Division is engaged as an OEM provider of end-to-end mobile management solutions implemented over wireless networks. RadioMobile Division operates as a separate division and supplements the operations of the Company’s Neulink division; and (vii) the Cables Unlimited Division manufactures custom and standard cable assemblies, adapters, and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communication, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment and is a Corning Cables Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture fiber optic cable assemblies that are backed by Corning Cables Systems’ extended warranty (see Note 11).

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RF Industries, Ltd. and Cables Unlimited, Inc. (“Cables Unlimited”) and its variable interest entity (“VIE”) K&K Unlimited LLC (“K&K”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. See Note 11 for a discussion of the Cables Unlimited acquisition, which occurred June 15, 2011.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Revenue recognition

Four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenue from product sales after purchase orders are received which contain a fixed price and the products are shipped. Most of the Company’s products are sold to continuing customers with established credit histories.

Inventories

Inventories, consisting of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost has been determined using the weighted average cost method.

Property and equipment

Equipment, tooling and furniture are recorded at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives (generally 3 to 7 years) using the straight-line method. The VIE’s building is recorded at cost and depreciated over its estimated useful life (39 years) using the straight-line method. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations in the period incurred.

F-8

Deferred financing costs

Included in other assets are deferred financing costs of $70,668 incurred by K&K and related to the financing of its building acquisition. Such costs are amortized over the term of the related debt or 20 years. Amortization expense totaled $1,307 during the year ended October 31, 2011.

Goodwill

The Company reviews its goodwill for impairment annually at the reporting unit level. The Company also analyzes whether any indicators of impairment exist each quarter. A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include a sustained, significant decline in the Company’s share price and market capitalization, a decline in the Company’s expected future cash flows, a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate, unanticipated competition, the testing for recoverability of the Company’s long-lived assets, and/or slower growth rates, among others.

The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using discounted expected future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its net book value, goodwill is not impaired, and no further testing is necessary. If the net book value of the Company’s reporting units exceeds their fair value, a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.

On June 15, 2011 the Company completed its acquisition of Cables Unlimited. Goodwill related to this acquisition is included within the Cables Unlimited reporting unit. As of October 31, 2011, the goodwill balance related solely to the Cables Unlimited division. As of October 31, 2011, management noted no negative trends since the acquisition date that would necessitate a further review and test of impairment of goodwill.

The Company performed a valuation analysis in the third quarter of fiscal 2010, utilizing an income approach in the Company’s goodwill assessment process. The following describes the valuation methodologies used to derive the fair value of the Company’s reporting units:

•

Income Approach: To determine each reporting unit’s estimated fair value, the Company discounts the expected cash flows of its reporting units. The Company estimate its future cash flows after considering current economic conditions and trends; estimated future operating results, growth rates, anticipated future economic and regulatory conditions; and the availability of necessary technology. The discount rate used represents the estimated weighted average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk involved in the Company’s operations and the rate of return an outside investor would expect to earn. To estimate cash flows beyond the final year of the Company’s model, the Company uses a terminal value approach. Under this approach, the Company uses estimated operating income before depreciation and amortization in the final year of the Company’s model, adjusted to estimate a normalized cash flow, and then apply a perpetuity growth assumption and discount by a perpetuity discount factor to determine a terminal value. The Company incorporates the present value of the resulting terminal value into its estimate of fair value.

Due to the ongoing negative effects of the global recession and related triggers (due to Aviel division not meeting its revenue forecasts), during the third quarter of 2010, the Company performed an impairment analysis of the Aviel goodwill balance. The sales generated by this division were significantly lower than expected and the forecasted improvements from prior periods did not occur. As such, triggers were evident at this division in the third quarter of 2010. Prior to management’s analysis, the Company had a total of $137,328 of goodwill residual from the acquisition of the Aviel division. As a result of its analysis, management recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $137,328 for the third quarter of fiscal 2010. No goodwill impairment occurred in 2011; all remaining goodwill at October 31, 2011 relates to the acquisition of Cables Unlimited in June 2011.

Variable interest entity

Management analyzes if the Company has any variable interests in variable interest entities (“VIE”). This analysis includes a qualitative review based on an evaluation of the design of the entity, its organizational structure, including decision making ability and financial agreements, as well as a quantitative review. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require a reporting entity to consolidate a VIE when the reporting entity has a variable interest that provides it with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The entity that consolidates a VIE is referred to as the primary beneficiary of the VIE. See Note 12 for further discussion.

F-9

The changes in the carrying amounts of segment goodwill for fiscal 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

	RF Connectors
	And Cable Assembly			Cables Unlimited		Total
Balance at November 1, 2009	$	137,328		$	-	$	137,328

Impairment Charge		(137,328	)		-		(137,328	)

Balance at October 31, 2010		-			-		-

Acquisition of Cables Unlimited		-			3,076,023		3,076,023

Balance at October 31, 2011	$	-		$	3,076,023	$	3,076,023

Long-lived assets

The Company assesses potential impairments to its long-lived assets when there is evidence that events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recovered. An impairment loss is recognized when the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset (or group of assets) is less than its carrying amount. Any required impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the assets carrying value exceeds its fair value, and is recorded as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and a charge to operations.

Intangible assets

Estimated amortization expense related to finite lived intangible assets are as follows:

Year ending October 31,	Amount

2012	$	238,958
2013		220,208
2014		220,208
2015		220,208
2016		205,208
Thereafter		761,381
Total	$	1,866,171

F-10

Amortization of amortizable intangible assets is provided over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. In fiscal 2011, the Company retired $81,000 of fully amortized intangible assets, impacting both the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for this amount.

Advertising

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotions as incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations were approximately $244,000 and $215,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Research and development

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development costs charged to operations and included in engineering were approximately $622,000 and $422,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, based on the income tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions in which operations are conducted and income is earned. This approach requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Developing the provision for income taxes requires significant judgment and expertise in Federal, international and state income tax laws, regulations and strategies, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities and, if necessary, any valuation allowances that may be required for deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Management’s judgments and tax strategies are subject to audit by various taxing authorities.

The Company’s VIE, K&K, is a single member LLC and this is treated as a disregarded entity for Federal and state income tax purposes. The stockholders report their respective shares of the net taxable income or loss on their personal tax returns.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Stock options

For stock option grants to employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense based on the estimated fair values of the options at date of grant. Stock based employee compensation expense is recognized on the straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company issues previously unissued common shares upon exercise of stock options.

For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011and 2010, charges related to stock based compensation amounted to approximately $312,000 and $231,000, respectively. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, stock based compensation classified in cost of sales amounted to $61,000 and $33,000 and stock based compensation classified in selling, general and engineering expense amounted to $251,000 and $198,000 respectively.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common shares, principally those issuable upon the exercise of stock options, were issued and the treasury stock method had been applied during the period. The greatest number of shares potentially issuable by the Company upon the exercise of stock options in any period for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, that were not included in the computation because they were anti-dilutive, totaled 590,968 and 443,748, respectively.

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-28, “Intangible –Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts.” This update requires an entity to perform all steps in the test for a reporting unit whose carrying value is zero or negative if it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that a goodwill impairment exists based on qualitative factors, resulting in the elimination of an entity’s ability to assert that such a reporting unit’s goodwill is not impaired and additional testing is not necessary despite the existence of qualitative factors that indicate otherwise. The new disclosures required by ASU 2010–28 is effective for the Company for periods beginning November 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010 - 28 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010 - 29, “Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”), which specifies that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments in this update also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The new disclosures required by ASU 2010–29 are effective for the Company for periods beginning November 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010–29 is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 - Concentration of credit risk and sales to major customers

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with high-credit quality financial institutions. At October 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalent balances in excess of Federally insured limits in the amount of approximately $213,000.

Accounts receivable are financial instruments that also expose the Company to concentration of credit risk. Such exposure is limited by the large number of customers comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. In addition, the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses.

Sales to one customer represented 17% and 20% of total sales, and 14% and 22% of total accounts receivable in 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company has a standard written distributor agreement with this customer and, therefore, this customer does not have any minimum purchase obligations and could stop buying the Company’s products at any time. A reduction, delay or cancellation of orders from this customer or the loss of this customer could significantly reduce the Company’s revenues and profits.

The Company has arrangements with these vendors to purchase product based on purchase orders periodically issued by the Company.

Note 4 - Commitments

The Company leases its facilities in San Diego, California, Yaphank, New York and Las Vegas, Nevada under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company amended its San Diego lease in March 2009 extending the term of the lease and again in September 2009 adding additional square feet. The amended lease expires in March 2014 and requires minimum annual rental payments that are subject to fixed annual increases. The minimum annual rentals under this lease are being charged to expense on the straight-line basis over the lease term. Deferred rents, included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, were $81,000 as of October 31, 2011 and $98,000 as of October 31, 2010. The San Diego lease also requires the payment of the Company's pro rata share of the real estate taxes and insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses related to the facilities. The Oddcables.com division operations include a warehouse and retail space. During fiscal 2010, the Aviel division was leasing two facilities in Las Vegas, the first of which was a three year lease, which expired in March 2010 and was not renewed as the division moved into its present facility. The second lease was entered into and commenced in September 2009 and expires in March 2015. The Cables Unlimited division leases its facility from the Company’s VIE K&K, which expires June 2016. The Company also leases certain automobiles under operating leases which expire at various dates through June 2015.

Rent expense under all operating leases totaled approximately $508,000 and $465,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases in each of the years subsequent to October 31, 2011 are as follows:

Year Ending October 31,	Amount

2012	$	604,000
2013		599,000
2014		355,000
2015		176,000
2016		102,000
Total	$	1,836,000

The Company has employment agreements with the President and Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer, which commenced on August 22, 2011 and August 1, 2011, respectively, and end on July 31, 2012 and July 31, 2013, respectively. The aggregate amount of compensation to be provided over the remaining term of these employment agreements amounted to approximately $608,000 at October 31, 2011. The Company also has an employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer of its Cables Unlimited Division, which commenced on June 15, 2011, and ends on June 15, 2013. The aggregate amount of compensation to be provided over the remaining term of the employment agreement amounted to approximately $258,000 at October 31, 2011.

Note 5 - Segment information

The Company aggregates operating divisions into operating segments which have similar economic characteristics and divisions are similar in the majority of the following areas: (1) the nature of the product and services; (2) the nature of the production process; (3) the type or class of customer for their products and services; (4) the methods used to distribute their products or services; (5) if applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment. The Company has four segments - RF Connector and Cable Assembly, Medical Cabling and Interconnector, RF Wireless, and Cables Unlimited based upon this evaluation.

F-13

The RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment is comprised of three divisions, the Cables Unlimited segment and the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment are each comprised of one division, while the RF Wireless segment is comprised of two divisions. The four divisions that meet the quantitative thresholds for segment reporting are Connector & Cable Assembly, Cables Unlimited, Bioconnect and RF Neulink. Each of the other divisions aggregated into these segments have similar products that are marketed to their respective customer base; production and product development processes are similar in nature. The specific customers are different for each division; however, there is some overlapping of product sales to them. The methods used to distribute products are similar within each division aggregated.

Management identifies the Company’s segments based on strategic business units that are, in turn, based along market lines. These strategic business units offer products and services to different markets in accordance with their customer base and product usage. For segment reporting purposes, the Company aggregates the Connector & Cable Assembly, Aviel, and Oddcables.com divisions into the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment, while the Cables Unlimited division constitutes the Cables Unlimited segment. The Bioconnect Division makes up the Medical Cabling and Interconnector segment, and the RF Neulink and RadioMobile divisions make up the RF Wireless segment.

As reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Company evaluates the performance of each segment based on income or loss before income taxes. The Company charges depreciation and amortization directly to each division within the segment. All stock based compensation is attributed to the RF Connector and Cable Assembly segment. Inventory, fixed assets, goodwill and intangible assets are the only assets identified by segment. Except as discussed above, the accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.

Substantially all of the Company’s operations are conducted in the United States; however, the Company derives a portion of its revenue from export sales. The Company attributes sales to geographic areas based on the location of the customers. The following table presents the sales of the Company by geographic area for the years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010:

Note 7 - Stock options

Incentive and non-qualified stock option plans

In May 2000, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan (the “2000 Option Plan”). Under the 2000 Option Plan, the Company was authorized to grant options to purchase shares of common stock to officers, directors, key employees and others providing services to the Company. The number of shares of common stock that the Company was authorized to issue under options granted under the 2000 Option Plan initially was 300,000, which number automatically increased on January 1 of each year by the lesser of (i) 4% of the total number of shares of common stock then outstanding or (ii) 10,000 shares. Subsequently, the Board of Directors and Stockholders approved several increases in the authorized number of options to the 2000 Option Plan. The 2000 Option Plan expired in May of 2010. At time of expiration, the 2000 Plan had authorized the Company to grant options to purchase a total of 1,320,000 shares. Upon the expiration of the 2000 Plan, the Company was no longer able to grant any stock options to its employees, officers and directors. Accordingly, as of October 31, 2011, there were no shares of common stock authorized by the Company to be issued under the 2000 Option Plan. However, there were options for 955,396 shares that had been granted under the 2000 Plan, of which 772,572 were still outstanding and available for exercise. Under the 2000 Option Plan, the Company was authorized to grant both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Incentive and non-qualified stock options under the 2000 Option Plan were granted at an exercise price no less than the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant.

On March 9, 2010, our Board of Directors adopted the RF Industries, Ltd. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). In June 2010, our stockholders approved the 2010 Plan by vote as required by the NASDAQ Capital Market listing standards. Accordingly, the Company may now make awards under the 2010 Plan as described below. The Board adopted the 2010 Plan because the Company’s prior stock option plan, the 2000 Option Plan that was adopted in May 2000, expired on May 5, 2010. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock was set aside and reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan. As of October 31, 2011, 640,583 shares of common stock were remaining for future grants of stock options under the 2010 Plan.

F-17

Additional disclosures related to stock option plans

The fair value of each option granted in 2011 and 2010 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

	2011			2010

Expected volatility		35.9%-55.8	%		50.9%-57.7	%
Weighted-average volatility		52.7	%		52.1	%
Expected dividends		1.9%-6.3	%		1.7	%
Expected term (in years)		2.5-3.5			2.5-3.5
Risk-free interest rate		0.7%-1.2	%		0.5%-1.4	%
Weighted average fair market value of options granted during the year	$	0.89		$	1.07
Weighted average fair market value of options vested during the year	$	0.94		$	0.89

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. During fiscal 2011, the Company granted options for the purchase of 31,000 shares that vested immediately with an option life of five years, and options for the purchase of 147,009 shares with a vesting period of three years and an option life of five years. Since the Company has little historical experience in determining the expected life of these new option terms, the Company used the simplified method to calculate the expected life of these option grants. The expected life represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate with a maturity date corresponding to the options’ expected life. The dividend yield is based upon the historical dividend yield. The Company estimates forfeiture rates based upon historical exercise behavior.

Additional information regarding all of the Company's outstanding stock options at October 31, 2011 and 2010 and changes in outstanding stock options in 2011 and 2010 follows:

	2011					2010

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at October 31, 2011: 4.44 years.

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options exercisable at October 31, 2011: 4.25 years.

Weighted average remaining contractual life of options vested and expected to vest at October 31, 2011: 4.38 years.

Aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at October 31, 2011: $2,447,115

Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at October 31, 2011: $2,101,218

Aggregate intrinsic value of options vested and expected to vest at October 31, 2011: $2,413,542

As of October 31, 2011, $410,935 of expense with respect to nonvested share-based arrangements has yet to be recognized and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.21 years.

Note 8 - Retirement plan

The Company sponsors a deferred savings and profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Substantially all of its employees may participate in and make voluntary contributions to this defined contribution plan after they meet certain eligibility requirements. The Board of Directors of the Company can authorize discretionary contributions by the Company. The Company did not make contributions to the plan in 2011or 2010.

Note 9 - Related party transactions

The note receivable from stockholder of $66,980 at October 31, 2011 and 2010 is due from the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, bears interest at 6%, payable annually, and has no specific due date. The note is collateralized by personal property owned by the President.

A former director of the Company is an employee of the Company’s public relations firm. For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company paid the firm $52,684 and $52,783, respectively, for services rendered by that firm.

Note 10- Legal proceedings

Note 11- Business acquisition

On June 15, 2011, RF Industries, Ltd. completed its acquisition of Cables Unlimited. Cables Unlimited is an established fiber optic custom cable manufacturer based in Yaphank, New York. Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty. The products manufactured by Cables Unlimited include custom fiber optic cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communications, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment.

All of Cables Unlimited’s assets are located in the United States. There were no earnouts or contingent considerations included in the acquisition agreement.

The acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. The acquired assets and assumed liabilities were recorded by the Company at their estimated fair values. The Company determined the estimated fair values with the assistance of appraisals or valuations performed by an independent third party specialist. Cables Unlimited is an established fiber optic custom cable manufacturer based in Yaphank, New York. Cables Unlimited is a Corning Cable Systems CAH Connections SM Gold Program member, authorized to manufacture optic products that are backed by Corning Cable Systems' extended warranty. The products manufactured by Cables Unlimited include custom fiber optic cable assemblies, adapters and electromechanical wiring harnesses for communications, computer, LAN, automotive and medical equipment. These products supplement and enhance the existing markets of RF Industries as well as tap into new fiber optic cable markets that the Company would not have been able to enter without incurring substantially more costs than incurred in the purchase of Cables Unlimited. The capital and other resources required to enter the fiber optic market would have greatly exceeded the purchase price of $5.6 million. These factors, among others, contributed to a purchase price in excess of the estimated fair value of Cables Unlimited’s net identifiable assets acquired, and as a result, we have recorded goodwill in connection with this transaction.

F-19

Goodwill acquired was allocated to our operating segment and reporting unit Cables Unlimited as part of the purchase price allocation. We do not expect the goodwill recorded to be deductible for income tax purposes. Acquired amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives ranging from 6 months to 9.6 years. The purchase price allocation of fiscal 2011 was finalized in the fourth quarter.

The following table summarizes the components of the purchase price at fair value:

Cash consideration paid	$	2,800,000
RF Industries, Ltd. common shares issued, (762,738 shares)		2,800,000
Total consideration	$	5,600,000

The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price at fair value:

Other assets	$	6,000
Accounts receivable		814,000
Inventories		442,000
Property, plant and equipment		313,000
Intangible assets		2,415,000
Goodwill (all non-deductible for tax purposes)		3,076,000
Interest bearing liabilities		(7,000	)
Non-interest bearing liabilities		(423,000	)
Deferred tax liabilities		(1,036,000	)
Net assets	$	5,600,000

The results of Cables Unlimited operations subsequent to June 15, 2011 have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations. For the year ended October, 2011, Cables Unlimited contributed approximately $2,644,000 of revenue.

Note 12- Variable interest entity

K&K was formed on August 14, 2009 for the purpose of establishing a separation of legal ownership of the building where Cables Unlimited conducts its operations. Cables Unlimited’s former sole stockholder is the sole member of K&K. Cables Unlimited was deemed the primary beneficiary of K&K even though it has no direct ownership in K&K as it has the power to direct the activities of K&K that most significantly impact its economic performance and provides significant financial support through a lease agreement between Cables Unlimited and K&K. In addition, Cables Unlimited is guarantor of K&K’s mortgage note payable to Teacher’s Federal Credit Union (“TFCU”) and Small Business Administration (“SBA”)

As of October 31, 2011 and for the 12 months then ended, K&K had assets of $1,627,346 ($66,926 in cash, $12,827 in other current assets, $1,476,925 in land and building, net and $70,668 in other assets), liabilities of $1,413,730, revenues of $58,500 and expenses of $61,464.

Note 15- Mortgages payable

In January 2010, K&K acquired land and a building for $1,525,000. The purchase was financed through mortgage notes payable as follows:

Mortgage payable with TFCU in the amount of $800,000. The loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 6.625% with minimum monthly payments due of principal and interest of $5,490 commencing March 1, 2010 through February 2020. The agreement includes a financial covenant which requires K&K to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio. The note is guaranteed by Cables Unlimited and collateralized by K&K’s real property. In November 2011, TFCU released Cables Unlimited as a guarantor on the mortgage. In addition, the mortgage was paid in full through a refinancing in January 2012. The outstanding balance of $777,155 has been classified as current in the consolidated balance sheets at October 31, 2011.

Second mortgage payable to a bank in the amount of $640,000 due in monthly installments of interest only of $3,485 from February 2010 through April 2010, at a rate per annum of 6.625%, and then due in monthly installments of $8,197 of principal and interest at 9.25% from May 2010 through September 2010. The mortgage was collateralized by K&K’s building. This mortgage was paid in full in September 2010 with the proceeds received through the financing noted below.

F-21

In September 2010, K&K entered into a mortgage payable with the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) in the amount of $643,000. The loan bears interest at a rate per annum of 4.605% with minimum monthly payments due of principal and interest of $4,236 commencing October 1, 2010 through September 2030. The note is guaranteed by Cables Unlimited and the former owner of Cables Unlimited and is collateralized by K&K’s real property. The note includes two provisions that require the prior written consent of the SBA for significant changes in ownership structure and/or the sale of property or assets not in the ordinary course of business. The former shareholder of Cables Unlimited did not obtain prior written consent prior to selling 100% of his interest. As a result, the loan was in default and was paid in full on November 7, 2011. The outstanding balance of $617,075 has been classified as current in the consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2011.

The following summarizes the information relative to the outstanding VIE debt at October 31, 2011:

Note payable - TFCU	$	777,155
Note payable - SBA		617,075
Total	$	1,394,230

Note 16- Authorized Number of Shares of Common Stock

In 1987, the Company had 100,000,000 shares of $.001 par value common stock authorized, and 29,999,998 shares of common stock outstanding. On April 17, 1987, the Company filed a Certificate of Secretary with the Nevada Secretary of State's office pursuant to which the Company effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (that reduced the number of outstanding shares to 3,000,000). The Certificate of Secretary did not, however, specifically address, or reduce the number of authorized shares of common stock.

Based on its belief that the April 17, 1987 filing with the Nevada Secretary of State also reduced the number of authorized shares, the Company has since 1987 reported in its financial statements that the number of authorized shares of common stock consisted of 10,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock. On February 23, 2011, the Nevada Secretary of State's office notified the Company that based on the April 17, 1987 filing, the authorized number of common shares of the Company consisted of 100,000,000 shares. As a result of the two-for-one stock split that took place in the second quarter of 2011, the authorized number of common shares of the Company as of October 31, 2011 consists of 200,000,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock.

Note 17- Stock Split

On February 11, 2011, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had declared a two-for-one stock split on the Company’s Common Stock. The stock split was effected on March 10, 2011. All references to common stock and per share information, except par value, in these consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted to reflect the effects of the stock split.

Note 18- Subsequent events

At its November 4, 2011 meeting, the Board of Directors approved a $0.05 dividend to be paid on January 16, 2012 to stockholders of record on December 30, 2011.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of October 31, 2011 reflect consolidation of its variable interest entity, K&K Unlimited, LLC (K&K), in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (See Note 12). In November 2011, the mortgage note to the SBA was paid in full, thereby releasing Cables Unlimited from any guarantee on said note. In addition, Cables Unlimited was released as a guarantor on the mortgage note payable to TFCU, which was repaid through a refinancing in January 2012. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company will deconsolidate the operations of K&K for all reporting periods subsequent to October 31, 2011. As a result, the Company’s balance sheet will reflect a reduction in total assets of approximately $1.6 million with a reduction in liabilities of approximately $1.4 million. The effect of the deconsolidation will not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

In November 2011, the RadioMobile Division was awarded a $2.6 million contract from the Los Angeles County Fire Department for the implementation of a wireless system upgrade to the County Fire Department's existing remote communications equipment. This project represents a significant opportunity for RadioMobile to expand its wireless technology and maintenance services to the public sector. The LA County's wireless infrastructure system needed to be upgraded from its 1985 technology base to today's demanding data requirements without interruption. RadioMobile will replicate the County's existing technology and simultaneously implement a high speed data solution satisfying FCC Narrowband requirements. This wireless upgrade will be peformed by RadioMobile without downtime, without interrupting emergency services and without the provision of additional frequencies or wireless sites during the transition period. The County will also benefit from the ability of RadioMobile’s applications to exactly mimic its current Cathode Ray Tube-based 1985 functions, thereby eliminating retraining expenses for thousands of fire personnel.

At the annual shareholders meeting held in November 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the proposal to amendment the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to decrease the number of the Company's authorized shares of common stock from 200,000,000 shares to 20,000,000 shares.
