Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

A.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2023. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the information included in The LGL Group, Inc. (the “Company”, “LGL Group”, “LGL”, “we”, “our” or “us”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 17, 2023.

The Company was incorporated in 1928 under the laws of the State of Indiana and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2007, and is a diversified holding company engaged in services, investment and manufacturing business activities with subsidiaries engaged in the design, manufacturing and marketing of highly-engineered, high performance Frequency and Time Reference Standards that form the basis for timing and synchronization in various applications.

The Company’s manufacturing business is operated through its subsidiary Precise Time and Frequency, LLC ("PTF"). The Company has operations in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

As part of our ongoing efforts developing our merchant investment segment, the Company took additional steps and solidified its role as the Managing Partner of a syndicated investment partnership. We have pursued opportunities for direct investing for control, direct investing as a minority with the ability to influence such as through Board representation and direct investing to build an industry platform to acquire and build along an industry vertical.

Spin-Off of M-tron Industries, Inc.

On October 7, 2022 the tax-free spin-off of the MtronPTI business was completed and MtronPTI became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE American under the stock symbol "MPTI".

The Separation was achieved through LGL’s distribution (the “Distribution”) of 100% of the shares of MtronPTI's common stock to holders of LGL's common stock as of the close of business on the record date of September 30, 2022. LGL's stockholders of record received one-half share of MtronPTI's common stock for every share of LGL's common stock. LGL retained no ownership interest in the MtronPTI business following the Separation. During the first quarter of 2023, MtronPTI agreed to share excess Separation costs of $28,000 with LGL Group, which has been recorded as a reduction of Spin-Off costs, which were $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and $232,000 and $343,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and are included in income from discontinued operations, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

The historical financial results of the MtronPTI business for periods prior to the distribution date along with the related direct costs of the Spin-Off are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations. Unless otherwise noted, discussion in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements refers to our continuing operations. Refer to Note C – Discontinued Operations, for additional information regarding the discontinued operations.

LGL believes that the spin-off of MtronPTI would enable shareholders to more clearly evaluate the performance and future potential of each entity on a standalone basis, while allowing each to pursue its own distinct business strategy and capital allocation policy. Separating MtronPTI as an independent, publicly owned company positions the business to increase value to both MtronPTI and LGL Group. The spin-off permits each company to tailor its strategic plans and growth opportunities, more efficiently raise and allocate resources, including capital raised through debt or equity offerings, flexibly use its own stock as currency for teammate incentive compensation and potential acquisitions and provide investors a more targeted investment opportunity.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries along with any variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. During June 2023, the Company determined it was the primary beneficiary of LGL Systems Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("LGL Systems"), disclosing the non-controlling interest relating to the minority shareholders within its consolidated financial statements. The Company does not consolidate its VIE, LGL Systems Nevada Management Partners, LLC (“LGL Nevada”), as the Company had determined it is not the primary beneficiary, and its economic interest is immaterial. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company consolidates entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a variable interest entity (VIE).

A variable interest in a VIE is an investment that will absorb portions of the VIE’s expected losses and/or receive portions of the VIE’s expected residual returns. The Company’s variable interests in VIEs include limited membership interests and common equity.

VIE Consolidation Analysis

The enterprise with a controlling financial interest in a VIE is known as the primary beneficiary and consolidates the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE by performing an analysis that principally considers:

•

Which variable interest holder has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance;

•

Which variable interest holder has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE;

•

The VIE’s purpose and design, including the risks the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders;

•

The VIE’s capital structure;

•

The terms between the VIE and its variable interest holders and other parties involved with the VIE; and

•

Related-party relationships.

The Company reassesses its evaluation of whether an entity is a VIE when certain reconsideration events occur. The Company reassesses its determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE on an ongoing basis based on current facts and circumstances. During June 2023, the Company reassessed its determination for LGL Systems and determined it was the primary beneficiary.

Equity-Method Investments: When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but can exert significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies, the investment is accounted for either (i) under the equity method of accounting or (ii) at fair value by electing the fair value option available under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Significant influence generally exists when the Company owns 20% to 50% of the entity’s common stock or in-substance common stock.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products in accordance with the criteria in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which are:

Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer.

Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company meets these conditions upon the Company’s satisfaction of the performance obligation, usually at the time of shipment to the customer, because control passes to the customer at that time. Our standard terms for customers are net due within 30 days, with a few exceptions, none regularly exceeding 60 days.

Table of Contents

The Company provides disaggregated revenue details by geographic markets in Note K – Domestic and Foreign Revenues.

The Company offers a limited right of return and/or authorized price protection provisions in its agreements with certain electronic component distributors who resell the Company's products to original equipment manufacturers or electronic manufacturing services companies. As a result, the Company estimates and records a reserve for future returns and other charges against revenue at the time of shipment consistent with the terms of sale. The reserve is estimated based on historical experience with each respective distributor. These reserves and charges are immaterial as the Company does not have a history of significant price protection adjustments or returns. The Company provides a standard assurance warranty that does not create a performance obligation.

Practical Expedients:

-	The Company applies the practical expedient for shipping and handling as fulfillment costs.
-	The Company expenses sales commissions as sales and marketing expenses in the period they are incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are grouped with other assets to the lowest level to which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. Management assesses the recoverability of the carrying cost of the assets based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. If an asset is held for sale, management reviews its estimated fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using pertinent market information, including appraisals or broker's estimates, and/or projected discounted cash flows. In the event an impairment loss is identified, it is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset.

We performed an assessment to determine if there were any indicators of impairment as a result of the operating conditions resulting at the end of the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023. We concluded that, while there were events and circumstances in the macro-environment that did impact us, we did not experience any entity-specific indicators of asset impairment and no triggering events occurred.

Concentration Risks

Our cash and cash equivalents are invested primarily in two U.S. Treasury mutual funds, and the Company believes that there is minimal risk relative to its mutual fund holdings. At June 30, 2023, there were no balances in any financial institution exceeding the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. The standard replaces the incurred loss model with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate credit losses for financial assets. The Company adopted the provisions of this standard on January 1, 2023, with minimal effect on its financial statements.

B.	Non-Controlling Interests

During June 2023, the Company was appointed as sole managing member of LGL Nevada and invested approximately $4,000 into LGL Nevada representing its 1% general partnership interest. In conjunction with this transaction, Lynch Capital International, LLC ("Lynch Capital"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, invested $1 million into LGL Systems, which is controlled by LGL Nevada. As a result of the subsequent determination that LGL was the primary beneficiary of LGL Systems and was therefore required to consolidate LGL Systems, the Company has recorded $1,872,000 related to non-controlling interests in LGL Systems. This is discussed further in Note E - Related Party Transactions.

Table of Contents

C.	Discontinued Operations

On October 7, 2022, the Separation of MtronPTI was completed. In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations, the Company determined that MTronPTI’s business line met the conditions for a discontinued operation and is recorded as such in the consolidated financial statements. The Company reports financial results for discontinued operations separately from continuing operations in order to distinguish the financial impact of the disposal transaction from ongoing operations.

The following table summarizes the significant line items included in Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 (in thousands):

	*Three Months Ended*			*Six Months Ended*

Stock-based compensation expense	$	287
Capital expenditures	$	395

D.	Marketable Securities

The Company accounts for equity securities under ASC 321. Such securities are reported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, and the related unrealized gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows as non-cash adjustments to income. Any realized and unrealized gains or losses on investment securities are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as investment income or (loss).

Details of marketable securities held at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

					*Cumulative Unrealized*
	*Fair Value*		*Basis*		*Loss*
	*June 30, 2023*

E.	Related Party Transactions

Certain balances held and invested in various mutual funds are managed by a related entity (the "Fund Manager"). Marc Gabelli, the Company’s non-executive Chairman of the Board, who is also a greater than 10% stockholder, serves as an executive officer of the Fund Manager. The brokerage and fund transactions in 2023 and 2022 were directed solely at the discretion of the Company’s management.

As of June 30, 2023, the balance with the Fund Manager totaled $31,980,000, all of which is classified within cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Fund management fees earned by the Fund Manager are estimated to be approximately 0.08% of the asset balances under management on an annual basis. All investments including those in related party mutual funds are overseen by the Independent Investment Committee of the Board. The Investment Committee meets regularly to review the alternatives and has determined that the current investments most reflect the company’s objective of lower cost, market return and adherence to having a larger proportion of underlying investments directly in US treasuries.

As of December 31, 2022, the balance with the Fund Manager totaled $26,811,000, including $10,295,000 which is classified within cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and $16,516,000 which is classified as marketable securities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Certain members of our board of directors (the “Board”), including Marc Gabelli, Timothy Foufas, Manjit Kalha and Michael Ferrantino, and three members of our management, Marc Gabelli, Patrick Huvane and Michael Ferrantino, are members of LGL Systems.

Transactions with M-tron Industries, Inc.

LGL Group and MtronPTI entered into an Amended and Restated Transitional Administrative and Management Services Agreement, which sets out the terms for services to be provided between the two companies post-separation. The current terms result in a net monthly payment of $4,000 per month to MtronPTI from LGL Group.

F.	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value guidance identifies three primary valuation techniques: the market approach, the income approach and the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset.

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The maximization of observable inputs and the minimization of the use of unobservable inputs are required.

Table of Contents

Classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the objectivity of the inputs that are significant to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels within the fair value hierarchy are characterized as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability for which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about what market participants would use to price the asset or liability. These inputs may include internally developed pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies as well as instruments for which the fair value determination requires significant management judgment.

Assets

To estimate the market value of its cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, the Company obtains current market pricing from quoted market sources or uses pricing for identical securities adjusted for liquidity, when applicable. Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands).

	*Level 1*		*Level 2*		*Level 3*		*Total at June 30, 2023*
Equity Securities	$	25	$	—	$	—	$	25

Commodity Mutual Fund	$	—	$	222	$	—	$	222
U.S. Treasury Mutual Funds	$	17,722	$	—	$	—	$	17,722

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had investments in two mutual funds and four mutual funds, respectively. The Equity Mutual Fund noted above was invested in the Gabelli ABC Fund and the Commodity Mutual Fund was invested in the Gabelli Gold Fund. The U.S. Treasury Mutual Funds, included in cash and cash equivalents, are invested in the Gabelli US Treasury Money Market Fund and at December 31, 2022 also included the BlackRock Liquidity Treasury Trust Money Market Fund.

G.	Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. The Company reduces the value of its inventories to net realizable value when the net realizable value is believed to be less than the cost of the item. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $68,000 and $49,000, respectively.

Inventories are comprised of the following (in thousands):

	*June 30, 2023*		*December 31, 2022*
Raw materials	$	218	$	258
Work in process		8		7

H.	Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s 2021 Incentive Plan, and the prior 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended, restricted stock and stock options have been awarded to certain employees as stock-based compensation. Compensation expense is based on the grant-date fair value and recognized over the requisite service period.

In January 2023, 3,750 restricted shares vested. Stock-based compensation expense was $17,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022. There are no restricted share or option grants outstanding as of June 30, 2023.

I.	Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share adjusts basic earnings per share for the effects of warrants, restricted stock, stock options and other potentially dilutive financial instruments, only in the periods in which the effects are dilutive.

For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were warrants to purchase 1,051,664 shares of common stock, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock and 56,283 restricted shares which were excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation because the impact of the assumed exercise of such warrants and stock options and vesting of restricted shares would have been anti-dilutive.

The following table reconciles basic weighted average shares outstanding to diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*				*Six Months Ended June 30,*
	*2023*		*2022*		*2023*		*2022*
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic		5,352,937		5,334,187		5,352,937		5,329,080
Effect of diluted securities		—		—		—		—
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted		5,352,937		5,334,187		5,352,937		5,329,080

J.	Income Taxes

The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is measured using an annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items within the period presented. To determine the annual effective tax rate, the Company estimates both the total income (loss) before income taxes for the full year and the jurisdictions in which that income (loss) is subject to tax. The actual effective tax rate for the full year may differ from these estimates if income (loss) before income taxes is greater than or less than what was estimated or if the allocation of income (loss) to jurisdictions in which it is taxed is different from the estimated allocations.

The effective tax rate on continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 70.0% and 20.7%, respectively. Differences between the Company’s effective income tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate are primarily due to the impact from uncertain tax positions, and state taxes.

K.	Domestic and Foreign Revenues

The Company allocates its foreign revenue based on the customer's ship-to location. Significant foreign revenues from operations (10% or more of foreign sales) follows (in thousands):

	*Three Months Ended June 30,*				*Six Months Ended June 30,*

L.	Segment Information

The Company has identified two reportable business segments: electronic instruments, which includes all products manufactured and sold by PTF, and merchant investment, which includes all the income and expenses through its subsidiary Lynch Capital.

Income (loss) from operations is equal to revenues, interest income, and investment income (loss) less manufacturing cost of sales and engineering, selling and administrative expenses. Identifiable assets of the segments are those used in each of their respective operations. Total assets of $41,579,000 includes $22,925,000 for the merchant investment business, $1,221,000 for the electronic instruments business, and $17,353,000 for the holding company.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a holding company engaged in services, investment and manufacturing business activities. The Company was incorporated in 1928 under the laws of the State of Indiana, and in 2007, the Company was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware as The LGL Group, Inc. We maintain our executive offices at 2525 Shader Road, Orlando, Florida 32804. Our telephone number is (407) 298-2000. Our Internet address is www.lglgroup.com. Our common stock and warrants are traded on the NYSE American (“NYSE”) under the symbols "LGL" and “LGL WS”, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries along with any variable interest entity (“VIE”) for which it has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.

Merchant Investment Business

The LGL investment business is comprised of various investment vehicles in which LGL is either shareholder, partner, or has general partner interests, and through which LGL invests its capital. The Company seeks to invest available cash and cash equivalents in liquid investments with a view to enhancing returns as we continue to assess further acquisitions of, or investments in, operating businesses broadly. LGL core strengths include identifying and acquiring undervalued assets and businesses, often through the purchase of securities, increasing value through management, financial or other operational changes, and managing complex legal, regulatory or financial issues, which may include technical, engineering, environmental, zoning, permitting and licensing issues among others.

During June 2023, LGL Group transferred approximately $21.0 million of cash and cash equivalents to its wholly owned subsidiary, Lynch Capital International, LLC ("Lynch Capital"), for its use within the investment business. During June 2023, Lynch Capital was appointed as sole managing member of LGL Nevada and invested approximately $4,000 into LGL Nevada representing its 1% general partnership interest. In conjunction with this transaction, Lynch Capital invested $1 million into LGL Systems, which is controlled by LGL Nevada. As a result of the subsequent determination that LGL was the primary beneficiary of LGL Systems and was therefore required to consolidate LGL Systems, the Company has recorded $1,872,000 related to non-controlling interests in LGL Systems on its consolidated balance sheets.

LGL Group invested $1 million into LGL Systems during June 2023 through Lynch Capital, with its $1 million in membership interests representing approximately 35% of all membership interests, including approximately $929,000 of affiliated membership interests and a further $961,000 of unaffiliated membership interests. The affiliated members of LGL Systems include Venator Merchant Fund L.P., which is wholly owned by Marc Gabelli. Other affiliated members include Patrick Huvane, LGL's EVP, Tim Foufas, an LGL Director, and Manjit Kalha, an LGL Director and its current audit committee chairman.

As of June 30, 2023, LGL had investments (classified within Cash and cash equivalents and Marketable securities) with a fair value of approximately $37.8 million, of which $22.9 million was held directly by Lynch Capital for the investment business. The Company accounts for its Marketable securities under ASC 321 and as such, its Marketable securities are reported at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets.

Impact of MtronPTI’s Separation

On October 7, 2022, the separation of M-tron Industries, Inc. (“MtronPTI”) was completed (the “Separation”) and MtronPTI became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE American under the stock symbol "MPTI."

The Separation was achieved through LGL’s distribution (the “Distribution”) of 100% of the shares of the MtronPTI's common stock to holders of LGL's common stock as of the close of business on the record date of September 30, 2022. LGL's stockholders of record received one-half share of MtronPTI's common stock for every share of LGL's common stock. LGL retained no ownership interest in the MtronPTI business following the Separation. The historical financial results of the MtronPTI business for periods prior to the distribution date are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

See Note A – Basis of Presentation in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details of the Separation.

The amount shown for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reflects the sale of 198,500 IRNT shares for $61,000. During the second quarter of 2023, we sold substantially all of our investments and placed them into money market securities.

As of June 30, 2023, our consolidated working capital was $40,701,000 compared to $38,753,000 as of December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, we had current assets of $41,204,000, current liabilities of $503,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 81.92 to 1.00. As of December 31, 2022, we had current assets of $39,340,000, current liabilities of $587,000 and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of 67.02 to 1.00. Management continues to focus on efficiently managing working capital requirements to match operating activity levels and will seek to deploy the Company’s working capital where it will generate the greatest returns.

We believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and cash generated from operations will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our ongoing working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next 12 months from the date of this filing.

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

Critical Accounting Estimates

Our accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying footnotes. These estimates are made and evaluated on an on-going basis using information that is currently available as well as various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates, perhaps in material adverse ways, and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Factors Which May Influence Results of Operations

We are not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting our industry generally, that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on our revenues or income other than those listed below and those listed in Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on April 17, 2023.

Inflation and Rising Interest Rates

During 2022, inflation in the United States accelerated and, as of the date of this Report, is currently expected to continue at an elevated level in the near-term. Rising inflation may have an adverse impact on our manufacturing cost of sales along with engineering, selling and administrative expenses, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our revenue. The U.S. Federal Reserve raised the federal funds rate a total of seven times throughout 2022, and four times in 2023, resulting in a current range from 5.25% to 5.50% as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. It is expected that the Federal Reserve will continue to increase the federal funds rate throughout 2023 to, among other things, control inflation. Rising interest rates are expected to benefit LGL due to a significant portion of its portfolio currently being invested in US treasury mutual funds.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to us, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act, an evaluation as of June 30, 2023 was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of June 30, 2023, were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

THE LGL GROUP, INC.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE COMPANY

On October 7, 2022 the tax-free spin-off (“Spin-Off”) of the MtronPTI business was completed and MtronPTI became an independent, publicly traded company trading on the NYSE American under the stock symbol "MPTI. Following the Spin-Off, the Company retains no ownership interest in MtronPTI.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 reflects the results of operations as if the Spin-Off had occurred on January 1, 2022. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information should be read together with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent what the Company’s results of operations would have been had the Spin-Off and related transactions occurred on the date assumed. In addition, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement also should not be considered indicative of the Company’s future results of operations following the Spin-Off.

The “Historical LGL (as reported)” column in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statement reflects the Company’s historical consolidated financial statement for the period presented and does not reflect any adjustments related to the Spin-Off and related transactions.

The information in the “Discontinued Operations” column in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations was derived from the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related accounting records for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, and reflects the operating results of MtronPTI. The Company has historically provided many corporate functions on MtronPTI’s behalf, including executive services, tax, accounting, public and investor relations, general management, and has shared information technology systems, corporate governance activities, and centrally managed employee benefit arrangements. The expense allocation is based on the allocation methodology used to prepare the carve-out financial statements of MtronPTI included in the Information Statement included as Exhibit 99.1 to MtronPTI’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended on August 19, 2022 (the “Information Statement”) and is considered to be a reasonable estimate of the costs of services provided to MtronPTI by the Company during the periods presented. However, the allocation may not reflect the Company’s actual expenses following the Spin-Off or the actual costs to be incurred by MtronPTI following the Spin-Off, which may be impacted by multiple factors, including the organizational structure and strategic direction of these companies in the future. Discontinued Operations does not reflect what MtronPTI’s results of operations would have been on a stand-alone basis and are not necessarily indicative of future results of operations. MtronPTI’s historical financial results for periods prior to the Spin-Off are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

The information in the “Pro Forma Adjustments” column in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements was based on available information and assumptions that the Company’s management believes are reasonable, that reflect the impacts of events directly attributable to the Spin-Off and related transactions that are factually supportable, and for purposes of the consolidated statements of income (loss), are not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. Costs directly related to the Spin-Off prior to its completion are reflected in the Company’s pro forma statement of operations below and are included within the pro forma adjustments column. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect future events that may occur after the Spin-Off, including potential selling, general and administrative dis-synergies and the expected charges, the expected realization of any cost savings and other synergies in connection with the Spin-Off.

The “Pro Forma LGL” column is not necessarily indicative of future results nor does it reflect what the Company’s financial position and results of operations would have been as an independent public company during the period presented.
