ITEM 1.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

Winland Electronics, Inc. (“Winland”, “Company”, “we” or “our”) was incorporated as a Minnesota corporation in October 1972. Through distribution to dealers and integrators, Winland provides a line of proprietary critical condition monitoring products to the security industry. In most cases, these products are manufactured to protect against loss of assets due to damage from water, excess humidity, extremes of temperature and loss of power. These Winland branded and trademarked products accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenue in 2012 and 2011. Prior to January 1, 2011, we also designed and manufactured custom electronic controls and assemblies primarily for original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) customers, providing services from early concept studies through complete product realization (Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) business). On January 1, 2011, we sold our EMS business unit to an unrelated third party, Nortech Systems, Incorporated (Nortech) (see Note 7 of our financial statements). As a result, we classified our EMS business as a discontinued operation for 2012 and 2011. In addition, we sold our land and building (asset group) on December 31, 2012 and also classified the related operations as discontinued operations for 2012 and 2011. All references contained herein relate to our continuing operations of our proprietary business unless identified as discontinued operations.

Sales and Distribution

Winland markets and sells its line of proprietary critical condition monitoring products primarily through an established network of distributors, dealers, security installers and integrators. Winland employs full-time sales professionals and has engaged independent manufacturers’ sales representative organizations who are responsible for territory-based commissioned sales. This distribution network is primarily located in the United States.

Competition

Competition among the security industry has increased in the last several years as additional companies have introduced competing products. Significant competitive factors in the market for security products include product effectiveness and features, price, reliability and company reputation. Winland believes that it competes favorably with respect to product effectiveness, features, price and reliability. However, given its size and relatively small presence in this market, many of Winland’s competitors have an advantage by being larger, better-known and better-financed.

Source of Goods Available for Sale

Winland has a contract with a single third party contract manufacturer through December 31, 2013 to produce goods held for sale to the Company’s customers. These assemblies are manufactured to design specifications furnished by Winland. Alternative sources are available should the Company’s existing source be unable to perform.

Significant Customers

Approximately 52% and 50% of the Company’s Proprietary Products sales in 2012 and 2011, respectively were to one of the world’s largest distributors of security products. Winland derived approximately 12% and 4% of its revenues from sales outside the United States for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

Winland holds federal trademark registrations for marks used in its business as follows: WATERBUG, TEMP ALERT and ENVIROALERT.

Personnel

At December 31, 2012, Winland had nine full time employees. During 2012 and 2011, Winland also used temporary labor services. Winland is not subject to a collective bargaining agreement and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

Based on current and known information, we believe that the following identifies the most significant risk factors that could affect our business. However, the risks and uncertainties we face are not limited to those discussed below. There could be other unknown or unpredictable economic, business, competitive or regulatory factors, including factors that we currently believe to be immaterial, that could in fact have material adverse effects on our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

You should consider the following risk factors, in addition to other information presented or incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K in evaluating our business and your investment in us.

We are dependent on a small number of customers and such customer’s response to the current uncertain economic conditions.

Our Proprietary Products sales are dependent on a small number of security products distributors with the top five distributors together representing over 65% of our total sales in both 2012 and 2011. We do not obtain firm, long-term purchase commitments from our customers. Customers may also cancel their orders, change quantities, or delay delivery for a number of reasons. Cancellations, reductions, or delays by a significant customer or by a group of customers may harm our results of operations by reducing the volumes of products sold.

We outsource the manufacturing of our line of Proprietary Products.

We have an agreement with an outside contract manufacturing firm to manufacture our proprietary products through December 31, 2013. Based on the agreement, we issue purchase orders with definitive quantities, delivery dates and price. We cannot guarantee the ability of the manufacturer to timely deliver against the purchase orders which may cause us to experience delays in meeting our customer’s delivery requirements. If experienced, these delays may impact sales volumes and increase costs.

Our operating results may vary significantly from period to period.

We experience fluctuations in our operating results. Some of the principal factors that contribute to these fluctuations are our effectiveness in managing inventory levels; changes in the cost and availability of finished goods purchased from our manufacturer; and changes in demand for our products. Results of operations in any period, therefore, should not be considered indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.

Market acceptance of our new EA800-ip product and our pricing of such product is uncertain, and we may be unable to obtain market acceptance of our EA800-ip product at the price we hope for.

The success of our EA800-ip product will depend upon the acceptance by customers of our EA800-ip product as equivalent as or better than the current product or solution they are currently using for security products. Our future success will depend on our receiving market acceptance of the EA800-ip product at a price that is acceptable to us. Market acceptance of our EA800-ip product will depend on a number of factors, including:

●

the perceived effectiveness of our EA800-ip product relative to its cost;

●

the potential advantages of our EA800-ip product over alternative products;

●

the development of new products and technologies by our competitors or new alternative security products; and

●

the effectiveness of our sales and marketing efforts.

If our EA800-ip product does not achieve adequate acceptance by our customers and potential customers, we may not generate our projected revenue and our business would be materially impacted.

Our strategic growth plan depends substantially on customers renewing, upgrading and expanding their subscriptions for our services.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to our new strategic growth plan we intend to become a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) business model. As a result, our ability to grow is dependent in part on customers purchasing subscriptions and modules. We have limited historical data with respect to rates of customer subscription renewals, upgrades and expansions so we may not accurately predict future trends in customer renewals. Our customers’ renewal rates may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, including their satisfaction or dissatisfaction with our services, the prices of our services, the prices of services offered by our competitors or reductions in our customers’ spending levels due to the macroeconomic environment or other factors. If our customers do not purchase subscriptions for our services, renew on less favorable terms, or do not purchase additional functionality or subscriptions, our revenue may grow more slowly than expected or decline and our profitability and gross margin may be harmed.

The market for SaaS business applications may develop more slowly than we expect.

Our success will depend, to a large extent, on the willingness of businesses to accept cloud-based SaaS services for applications that they view as critical to the success of their business. Many companies have invested substantial effort and financial resources to integrate traditional enterprise software into their businesses and may be reluctant or unwilling to switch to a different application or to migrate these applications to cloud-based services. Other factors that may affect market acceptance of our application include:

●

the security capabilities, reliability and availability of cloud-based services;

●

customer concerns with entrusting a third party to store and manage their data, especially confidential or sensitive data;

●

our ability to maintain high levels of customer satisfaction;

●

our ability to implement upgrades and other changes to our software without disrupting our service;

●

the level of customization or configuration we offer; and

●

the price, performance and availability of competing products and services.

Many of our customers are price sensitive, and if the prices we charge for our services are unacceptable to our customers, our operating results will be harmed.

Many of our customers are price sensitive, and we have limited experience with respect to determining the appropriate prices for our services. As the market for our services matures, or as new competitors introduce new products or services that compete with ours, we may be unable to renew our agreements with existing customers or attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as previously used. As a result, it is possible that competitive dynamics in our market may require us to change our pricing model or reduce our prices, which could harm our revenue, gross margin and operating results.

We rely on our management team and need additional personnel to grow our business, and the loss of one or more key employees or our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel could harm our business.

Our success and future growth depends to a significant degree on the skills and continued services of our management team, especially David Gagne, our Chief Executive Officer, and Brian Lawrence, our Chief Financial Officer. Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled technical, managerial, sales, marketing and service and support personnel, including members of our management team. Competition for sales, marketing and technology development personnel is particularly intense in the technology industries. As a result, we may be unable to successfully attract or retain qualified personnel. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel could harm our business.

If we fail to manage our SaaS hosting network infrastructure capacity, our existing customers may experience service outages and our new customers may experience delays in the deployment of our SaaS products.

We seek to maintain sufficient excess capacity in our SaaS hosting network infrastructure to meet the needs of all of our customers. If we do not accurately predict our infrastructure capacity requirements, our customers could experience service outages that may result in customer losses. If our hosting infrastructure capacity fails to keep pace with increased sales, customers may experience delays as we seek to obtain additional capacity, which could harm our reputation and adversely affect our revenue growth.

Table of Contents

If we fail to develop our brand cost-effectively, our business may suffer.

We believe that developing and maintaining awareness of our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future solutions and is an important element in attracting new customers. Furthermore, we believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide reliable and useful services at competitive prices. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses we incurred in building our brand. If we fail to successfully promote and maintain our brand, or incur substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain our brand, we may fail to attract enough new customers or retain our existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business could suffer.

We may experience delays in product and service development, including delays beyond our control, which could prevent us from achieving our growth objectives and hurt our business.

Many of the problems, delays and expenses we may encounter may be beyond our control. Such problems may include, but are not limited to, problems related to the technical development of our products and services, the competitive environment in which we operate, marketing problems, consumer and advertiser acceptance and costs and expenses that may exceed current estimates. Problems, delays or expenses in any of these areas could have a negative impact on our business, financial conditions or results of operations.

Delays in the timely design, development, deployment and commercial operation of our EA800-ip product and service offerings, and consequently the achievement of our revenue targets and positive cash flow, could result from a variety of causes, including many causes that are beyond our control.

We might require additional capital to support our strategic growth plan, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

We intend to continue to make investments to support our strategic growth plan and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to develop new solutions or enhance our existing solutions, enhance our operating infrastructure and update our product. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any debt financing secured by us in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited, and our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects could be adversely affected.

We may be unsuccessful against future competitors. If we do not compete effectively, our operating results and future growth could be harmed.

We may encounter growing competition in our business from many sources. Many of our future competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing, technological and other resources than we do. Some of these companies may even choose to offer services competitive with ours at no cost as a strategy to attract or retain customers of their other services. If we are unable to compete successfully with traditional and other emerging providers of competing services, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Demand for our services is sensitive to price. Many factors, including our advertising, customer acquisition and technology costs, and our current and future competitors’ pricing and marketing strategies, can significantly affect our pricing strategies. There can be no assurance that we will not be forced to engage in price-cutting initiatives, or to increase our advertising and other expenses to attract and retain customers in response to competitive pressures, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, operating results and resources.

Table of Contents

In the event we are unable to retain existing proprietary product customers or to grow our SaaS customer base by adding new customers, our operating results will be adversely affected.

Our strategic growth plan is in part driven by our ability to retain our existing customers and grow our customer base by adding new SaaS customers. Customers cancel their accounts for many reasons, including economic concerns, business failure or a perception that they do not use our product effectively and the perception that the service is not a good value. In some cases, we terminate an account because the customer fails to comply with our standard terms and conditions. As our customer base continues to grow, even if our customer retention rates remain the same on a percentage basis, the absolute number of customers we lose each month will increase. We must continually add new customers to replace customers whose accounts are cancelled or terminated, which may involve significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate. If too many of our historical proprietary product customers cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new SaaS customers in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results would be adversely affected.

Our business could be adversely affected if our clients are not satisfied with our SaaS solutions, our implementation and integration of our solutions or our professional services.

The success of our strategic growth plan will depend on our ability to satisfy our clients and meet their business needs. If a client is unsatisfied, we could lose the client, we could incur additional costs to remedy the situation, or the profitability of our relationship with that client may be impaired. Negative publicity resulting from issues related to our client relationships, regardless of accuracy, may damage our business by adversely affecting our ability to attract new clients and maintain and expand our relationships with existing clients.

Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations.

We require effective internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements.

Our common stock was recently delisted from the NYSE Amex Exchange and investors may have difficulty trading and obtaining quotations for our common stock, which could impair their investments and our business.

On April 11, 2012 we received a notice from NYSE Amex LLC indicating that we were not in compliance with the continued listing requirements due to: our having stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of our four most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Exchange’s Corporate Guide; and stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in our five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE Amex Exchange’s Company Guide.

Despite our diligent efforts to meet the requirements of the NYSE Amex Exchange, On March 6, 2013 we were informed by the NYSE Amex Exchange that our common stock would be delisted. Our common stock was immediately eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board as of the open of business on March 21, 2013. The OTC Bulletin Board symbol of our common stock is WELX.

Because our common stock was delisted from the NYSE Amex Exchange, the liquidity of our common stock will be impaired and access to the capital markets, if necessary, may not be possible. An investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations of the price of, shares of our common stock. The lack of an established trading market severely limits the liquidity of our common stock, and could depress the market price of our common stock and limit our ability to raise additional capital.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

On December 31, 2012, the Company sold its manufacturing facility to Nortech Systems, Inc. (“Nortech”), the then current lessee of the property for $2,650,000. The building and land had a carrying cost of $2,135,000, resulting in a gain of $506,000, after deducting expenses related to the sale of $9,000. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $261,000, reduced by $218,000 for the reversal of unamortized rental revenue recognized on the straight-line basis in 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company also recognized income of $106,000 related to the remaining unamortized deferred revenue associated with the tax increment financing associated with the facility.

On December 31, 2012, Winland entered in to a month-to-month lease with Nortech to lease 1,924 square feet of office space at 1950 Excel Drive, Mankato, MN, the Company’s prior manufacturing facility. This office space is used for the Company’s operations including customer service, technical support and finance.

In December 2012, Winland entered in to a twelve month lease agreement for office space at 601 Carlson Parkway, Suite 1050, Minnetonka, MN. This office space is used for the Company’s sales and marketing, product management and executive staff.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Winland Electronics is a leader in designing and selling critical environmental monitoring solutions. We sell our solutions to customers around the world through a channel of distributors and security systems integrators.

Our solutions assist customers by helping them to: reduce product loss, comply with various regulations, reduce labor costs and potentially mitigate costly litigation.

The TempAlert solution delivers reliable and economical temperature detection for residential or commercial security systems.

Our HumidAlert solution monitors humidity and is ideal for any areas where too much moisture, or not enough, can damage commercial and residential property.

Our Vehicle-Alert allows users to know when a vehicle enters a driveway or comes to a business drive up window.

Key markets that we sell our solution into include the distribution and retail segments of the food, healthcare and drug industries.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – 2012 vs. 2011

The Company reported net income of $21,000 or $0.01 per basic and diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the $740,000 net loss or $0.20 loss per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2011.

Net Sales

Net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $3,713,000 up $269,000 or 7.8% compared to the same period in 2011 driven by a 14.2% increase in sales to Winland’s largest distributor.

Operating Loss

The Company reported an operating loss of $644,000 and $1,023,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s gross margin percentage of 29.4% in 2012 was up from 27.6% reported in 2011. Increased gross margins were the result of a favorable product sales mix and overall price increases implemented for 2012.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses were $762,000 down from $852,000 from the same period in 2011. The decline in expense was related to decreased depreciation expense of $73,000 primarily for the Company’s building and land assets sold on December 31, 2012. The Company recorded depreciation expense in 2011 until the time the building met the criteria to be classified as held for sale in September 2011. Additionally, the decline in expense was related to reduced borrowing line fees of $50,000, reduced salaries and wages expenses of $46,000 related to stay bonus payments made in 2011, reduced board of director fees of $39,000 based on the revised board retainer and committee fees approved on May 24, 2011, partially offset by increased consulting expenses of $119,000 related to the strategic business project conducted in 2012 and increased professional fees of $23,000 including audit, legal and tax preparation expenses.

Table of Contents

For the year ended December 31, 2012, sales and marketing expenses were $688,000, a decrease of $195,000 from the same period in 2011. The decrease was due to reduced salaries and commission expenses of $93,000, reduced advertising and trade show expenses of $61,000 and reduced expenditures for travel of $37,000.

During 2012, the Company funded research and development activities, incurring expenses of $285,000 which were primarily for new product development of $182,000 related to the Company’s EnviroAlert EA800-ip product and salary and benefit expenses of $78,000. During 2011, the Company funded research and development activities, incurring expenses of $237,000 which were primarily for new product development of $168,000 related to the Company’s EnviroAlert EA800-ip product and salary and benefit expenses of $59,000.

In January 2013, the Company announced its strategic growth plan to become a leading provider of real-time, cloud-based environmental monitoring solutions by implementing a Software as a Service (SaaS) business model. This plan calls for investments of approximately $1,200,000 in additional sales, marketing and channel management resources and development of the Company’s SaaS platform.

Other Income and Expense

Other income and expense consists primarily of interest expense and other, net. The Company did not borrow money during the year ended December 31, 2012 and therefore had no interest expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $54,000 which consisted of $29,000 mortgage interest paid to US Bank, $22,000 paid to TCI for interest and minimum fees for terminating the financing agreement in April 2011 and $3,000 paid to PrinSource for factoring of accounts receivable. For 2011, the Company received $11,000 in interest income from the settlement and payment of refunds related to the settlement reached between the Company and the Internal Revenue Service regarding research and development tax credits.

Income Tax

Winland records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,853,000 and $1,889,000, respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was an increase (decrease) of ($36,000) and $296,000, respectively. The tax effect of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is included in the annual effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax expense (benefit) rate at 0% and 1%, respectively. The Company had no income tax expense based on its $634,000 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the year ended 2012. The Company recognized income tax expense of $9,000 (net of the valuation allowance) based on its $1,051,000 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for year ended 2011.

Gain from discontinued operations

On December 31, 2012, the Company sold its manufacturing facility to Nortech, the then current lessee of the property for $2,650,000. The building and land had a carrying cost of $2,135,000, resulting in a gain of $506,000, after deducting expenses related to the sale of $9,000. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $261,000, reduced by $218,000 for the reversal of unamortized rental revenue recognized on the straight-line basis in 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company also recognized income of $106,000 related to the remaining unamortized deferred revenue associated with the tax increment financing associated with the facility.

On January 1, 2011, the Company sold its EMS business to Nortech. Winland recognized a gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $59,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011. The gain was the result of additional inventory sales to Nortech above the $2,200,000 commitment which allowed the Company to reduce the reserve for obsolescence for inventory held for discontinued operations by $73,000. Net sales from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $2,906,000 from raw, finished and work-in-process inventories sold to Nortech. The Company had no gross profit on the inventory sold to Nortech for the year ended December 31, 2011, as the Company sold inventory to Nortech at historical cost. The Company also recorded rental revenue of $261,000 and amortization of deferred revenue of $8,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to its manufacturing facility.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating activities used cash of $634,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 which resulted from a $506,000 non-cash gain on the sale of building, a net increase in finished goods inventories of $317,000 for future customer sales, a $106,000 reduction in deferred revenue for the reversal of tax increment financing related to the building and reduced payroll related expenses of $50,000 for the payment of accrued bonuses and severance partially offset by reduced deferred rent receivable of $261,000 and increased accounts payable balances of $82,000 for purchases of finished goods inventory. Operating activities used cash of $1,505,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 which resulted from the net loss of $740,000, a net increase in finished goods inventories of $455,000 for future customer sales, a reduction of accrued expenses of $421,000 primarily related to compensation payments of $339,000 partially offset by federal and state income tax refunds received of $277,000.

Investing activities used cash of $7,000 for equipment purchases for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2011, investing activities provided cash of $3,913,000 primarily from the sale of the EMS business unit and the sale of related inventory from discontinued operations. Financing activities used cash of $1,695,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011 consisting of $1,249,000 to pay down the Company’s revolving line-of-credit and $448,000 to pay down long-term borrowings.

The current ratio was 7.6 to 1 at December 31, 2012 and 3.7 to 1 at December 31, 2011. Working capital equaled $3,894,000 on December 31, 2012, compared to $1,517,000 on December 31, 2011.

In December 2011, the Company paid the outstanding balance satisfying the mortgage note payable with US Bank National Association.

The Company’s future capital requirements, inclusive of expenses for the Company’s SaaS business model as further described in this Form 10-K, will depend on many factors, including the timing and amount of its revenues and its investment decisions, which may affect the Company’s ability to generate additional cash. The Company’s management believes that its cash balance and existing working capital will be adequate to fund its cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, delays in, or changes to any of the above plans could result in the Company needing additional financing, which may not be available to the Company, or may not be available on terms favorable to the Company.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Winland cannot assure you that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Winland believes the following are the most critical judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and out of warranty repairs when the product is delivered to a common carrier for shipment and title transfers.

Shipping and handling charges billed to customers are included in net sales, and shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in cost of sales. For all sales, Winland has a binding purchase order from the customer. Winland does not generally accept returns but does provide a limited warranty as outlined below under Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs. Sales and use taxes are reported on a net basis, excluding them from sales and cost of sales.

Inventory Valuation: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include materials, labor, and overhead costs. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). The majority of the inventory is purchased based upon contractual forecasts and customer purchase orders. Even though contractual arrangements may be in place, we are still required to assess the utilization of inventory. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, judgments as to future demand requirements are made and compared to the current or committed inventory levels and contractual inventory holding requirements. Reserve requirements generally increase as projected demand requirements decrease due to market conditions, technological and product life cycle changes as well as longer than previously expected usage periods. Management’s estimated reserve for slow moving and obsolete finished goods inventories was $24,000 and $30,000 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company generally requires no collateral from its customer with respect to trade accounts receivable. Invoice terms vary by customer but are generally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable are considered past due if not paid in accordance with the terms established with the customer. Winland evaluates its allowance for uncollectible accounts on a quarterly basis and reviews any significant customers with delinquent balances to determine future collectability. Winland bases its determinations on legal issues, past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and experience. Winland reserves for accounts deemed to be uncollectible in the quarter in which the determination is made. Management believes these values are estimates and may differ from actual results. Winland believes that, based on past history and credit policies, the net accounts receivable are of good quality. The Company had no bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. Bad debt expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1,000. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible and records recoveries of trade receivables previously written off when collected. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $7,000 at both December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs: Winland provides a limited warranty for its Proprietary Products for a period of one year, which requires Winland to repair or replace defective product at no cost to the customer or refund the purchase price. Reserves are established based on historical experience and analysis for specific known and potential warranty issues. The reserve reflecting historical experience and potential warranty issues are determined based on experience factors including rate of return by item, average weeks outstanding from production to return, average cost of repair and relation of repair cost to original sales price. Any specific known warranty issues are considered individually. These are analyzed to determine the probability and the amount of financial exposure, and a specific reserve is established. The allowance for rework and warranty costs was $15,000 and $13,100 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The product warranty liability reflects management’s best estimate of probable liability under Winland’s product warranties and may differ from actual results.

Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Winland records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,853,000 and $1,889,000 respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was an increase (decrease) of ($36,000) and $296,000. The tax effect of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is included in the annual effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax benefit rate at 0% and -1.2%, respectively. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $0 (net of the valuation allowance) based on its $634,000 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the year ended 2012 compared to an income tax benefit of $9,000 (net of the valuation allowance) based on its $1,051,000 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for the year ended 2011.

In addition, Winland reevaluates the technical merits of its tax positions and recognizes an uncertain tax benefit, or derecognizes a previously recorded tax benefit, when (i) there is a completion of a tax audit, (ii) there is a change in applicable tax law including a tax case or legislative guidance, or (iii) there is an expiration of the statute of limitations. Significant judgment is required in accounting for tax reserves. Although Winland believes that it has adequately provided for liabilities resulting from tax assessments by taxing authorities, positions taken by these tax authorities could have a material impact on Winland’s effective tax rate in future periods.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other written and oral statements made from time to time by Winland do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. As such, they are considered “forward-looking statements” that provide current expectations or forecasts of future events. Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “possible,” “plan,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “forecast” and similar words or expressions. Winland’s forward-looking statements generally relate to its purchase order levels, growth strategies, financial results, product development, sales efforts and sufficiency of capital. One must carefully consider forward-looking statements and understand that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown, and may be affected by inaccurate assumptions, including, among others, those discussed below. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially from results or circumstances described in such forward looking statements. As provided for under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Winland wishes to caution investors that the following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect Winland’s actual results of operations and cause such results to differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements made in this document and elsewhere by or on behalf of Winland.

Table of Contents

●	Winland derives a significant portion of its revenues from a limited number of distributors that are not subject to long-term contracts with Winland;

●	there is no assurance that Winland will be able to continue to obtain purchase orders from existing and new customers on financially advantageous terms, and the failure to do so could prevent it from achieving the growth it anticipates;

●	an overall uncertainty in economic activity may have a negative impact on Winland’s customer’s ability to pay for the products they purchase from Winland;

●	Winland’s ability to increase revenues and profits is dependent upon its ability to retain valued existing customers and obtain new customers that fit its customer profile;

●	The market for SaaS business applications may develop more slowly than Winland expects;

●	Many of Winland’s customers are price sensitive, and if the prices Winland charges for its services are unacceptable to its customers, Winland’s operating results will be harmed;

●	If Winland fails to develop our brand cost-effectively, its business may suffer;

●	Winland might require additional capital to support its strategic growth plan, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all; and

●	In the event Winland is unable to retain existing proprietary product customers or to grow its SaaS customer base by adding new customers, its operating results will be adversely affected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders, Audit Committee and Board of Directors

Winland Electronics, Inc.

Mankato, Minnesota

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Winland Electronics, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of its internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Winland Electronics, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of business: Winland Electronics, Inc. (“Winland” or the “Company”) provides a line of proprietary environmental monitoring products to the security industry. In most cases, these products are manufactured to protect against loss of assets due to damage from water, excess humidity, extremes of temperature and loss of power. These Winland branded and trademarked products accounted for 100% of the Company’s revenue in 2012 and 2011.

Discontinued Operations: Included in discontinued operations is Winland’s Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) operation. The sale of the EMS operations to a third party was completed on January 1, 2011 pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated November 15, 2010 (the “APA”). The transaction involved the sale of 100% of Winland’s EMS assets and assumptions of certain liabilities under the APA. The Company’s shareholders approved the sale on December 29, 2010.

In September 2011, the Company made a formal decision to sell the Company’s land and building. Based on an expected sale date within one year, the Company as of December 31, 2011 classified the land and building as assets held for sale. The assets were not classified as non-current discontinued assets prior to the sale of the assets on December 31, 2012, as the Company received significant cash flows from the asset group until the sale date. As a result of the sale of the land and building on December 31, 2012, the Company determined it would not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the asset group after the disposal date and, therefore, reclassified for all periods presented the operations and the gain on sale of the land and building as discontinued operations.

These transactions met the requirements of ASC 205-20 “Discontinued Operations” as being held for sale as December 31, 2012. Accordingly, the Company has restated the previously reported financial results to report the net results as a separate line in the statements of operations as “Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax” for all periods presented, and the respective assets and liabilities on the balance sheets have been separately classified as “Assets/Liabilities of discontinued operations”. In accordance with ASC 205-20-S99-3 “Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations”, the Company elected to not allocate interest expense to the discontinued operations where the debt is not directly attributed to or related to the discontinued operations. Notes to the financial statements have been revised to reflect only the results of continuing operations (see Note 7).

A summary of Winland’s significant accounting policies follow:

Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates include allowances for obsolete inventories, rework and warranties, valuation of long-lived assets and doubtful accounts. Winland cannot assure that actual results will not differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recognized from the sale of products and out of warranty repairs when the product is delivered to a common carrier for shipment and title transfers.

Rental revenue included rents that our tenant paid in accordance with the terms of its lease reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease. The lease provided for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent was due or where minimum rent payments changed during the term of the lease. Deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheet included the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight-line basis and rents received from the tenant in accordance with the lease terms.

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents include money market mutual funds and other highly liquid investments defined as maturities of three months or less from date of purchase. Winland maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Winland has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Note 1.

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company generally requires no collateral from its customer with respect to trade accounts receivable. Invoices are generally due 30 days after presentation. Accounts receivable over 30 days are considered past due. No interest is charged on past due accounts. Winland evaluates its allowance for uncollectible accounts on a quarterly basis and reviews any significant customers with delinquent balances to determine future collectability. Winland bases its determinations on legal issues, past history, current financial and credit agency reports, and experience. Winland reserves for accounts deemed to be uncollectible in the quarter in which the determination is made. Management believes these values are estimates and may differ from actual results. Winland believes that, based on past history and credit policies, the net accounts receivable are of good quality. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they are deemed uncollectible and records recoveries of trade receivables previously written off when collected. The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $7 at both December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Inventory Valuation: Raw component and finished goods inventories are stated at the lower of cost, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, or market value. Winland estimates excess, slow moving and obsolete reserves for inventory on a quarterly basis based upon order demand and production requirements for its major customers and annual reviews for other customers. Management’s estimated reserve for slow moving and obsolete finished goods inventories was $24 and $30 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Depreciation: Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the various assets, as follows:

	Years

Long-lived assets: Considerable management judgment is necessary in estimating future cash flows and other factors affecting the valuation of long-lived assets including the operating and macroeconomic factors that may affect them. The Company uses historical financial information, internal plans and projections and industry information in making such estimates. While the Company currently believes the expected cash flows from these long-lived assets exceeds the carrying amount, materially different assumptions regarding future performance and discount rates could result in future impairment losses. Such impairment would adversely affect earnings. No impairment losses were recognized in 2012 or 2011.

Allowance for Rework and Warranty Costs: Winland provides a limited warranty for its Proprietary Products for a period of one year, which requires Winland to repair or replace defective product at no cost to the customer or refund the purchase price. Reserves are established based on historical experience and analysis for specific known and potential warranty issues. The reserve reflecting historical experience and potential warranty issues is determined based on experience factors including rate of return by item, average weeks outstanding from production to return, average cost of repair and relation of repair cost to original sales price. Any specific known warranty issues are considered individually. These are analyzed to determine the probability and the amount of financial exposure, and a specific reserve is established. The allowance for rework and warranty costs was $15 and $13 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The product warranty liability reflects management’s best estimate of probable liability under Winland’s product warranties and may differ from actual results.

Changes in Winland’s warranty liability, which is included in other accrued liabilities on the balance sheets, are approximately as follows:

	For the Years Ended December 31,
($ in thousands)	2012			2011
Balance, Beginning	$	13		$	11
Accruals for products sold		20			7

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Income taxes: Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the realizability of deferred income tax assets, Winland considers whether it is "more likely than not," according to the criteria that some portion or all of the deferred income tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.

Per FASB ASC 740-10-25-5 Winland recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

Fair value of financial instruments: The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Income (loss) per common share: Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, including potentially dilutive shares such as the options and warrants to purchase shares of common stock at various amounts per share (see Note 6).

For years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the diluted loss per share was the same as basic loss per share since the effects of options and warrants would have been anti-dilutive. The diluted share calculation excluded 471,000 and 190,000 shares for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, as inclusion of these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Employee stock based compensation plans: At December 31, 2012, Winland had stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 6. Winland accounts for these plans under FASB ASC Topic 718, Stock Compensation.

Advertising expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred and was $14 and $40 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Research and Development Expense: The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred. Research and development expenses of $285 and $237 were charged to operations during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Subsequent events: The Company evaluates events occurring after the date of the financial statements for events requiring recording or disclosure in the financial statements. See Note 13 for more information regarding subsequent events.

Financing Arrangement and Long-Term Debt

Effective January 3, 2011, Winland and TCI Business Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), entered into a Factoring, Security and Service Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement allowed TCI to purchase from the Company certain eligible accounts receivable based on TCI’s sole and absolute discretion and was terminated by mutual agreement between the Company and TCI in April 2011 for a fee of $5.

On January 1, 2011, Winland had an Accounts Receivable Agreement with PrinSource Capital Companies, LLC (“PrinSource”). The agreement was terminated on January 3, 2011 with Winland paying $3 to PrinSource for factoring of accounts receivable for the year ended December 31, 2011.

In December 2011, the Company paid the outstanding balance satisfying the mortgage note payable with US Bank National Association.

Deferred Revenue

During 1994, Winland and the city of Mankato entered into a tax increment financing agreement for the construction of its operating facility. In connection with this agreement, the city donated land improvements to Winland with a fair value of $270. The fair value of land improvements donated was accounted for as deferred revenue and is being amortized over 39 years, which is the life of the building. On December 31, 2012, deferred revenue remaining of $106 was recognized as income due to the sale of the manufacturing facility and is included in income from discontinued operations on the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Winland records a tax valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that it will not be able to recover the value of its deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,853 and $1,889 respectively. The net change in the total valuation allowance for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was an increase (decrease) of ($36) and $296, respectively. The tax effect of the Company’s valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is included in the annual effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company calculated its estimated annualized effective tax benefit rate at 0% and -1.2%, respectively. The Company recognized an income tax expense of $0 (net of the valuation allowance) based on its $634 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for year ended 2012 compared to an income tax benefit of $9 (net of the valuation allowance) based on its $1,051,000 pre-tax loss from continuing operations for year ended 2011.

Winland recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal and state jurisdictions and during 2011 settled an examination by the State of Minnesota for its 2003 through 2006 tax years. The Company recognized a $301 reduction in income tax expense as of December 31, 2007 for credits filed with the Internal Revenue Service and the State of Minnesota for tax years 2003 through 2007, net of $129 reserve for FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. The Company reached a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service during 2010 which resulted in a reduction of $200 to the unrecognized tax benefit balance.

The Company reached a settlement with the Minnesota Department of Revenue during 2011 which resulted in a reduction of $68 to the unrecognized tax benefit balance. The years 2009 through 2012 remain open for examination by other agencies.

A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefit is as follows:

	2012		2011

Additions for tax positions taken for open tax years		-		-
Deductions for tax positions closed		-		(68	)

Income Taxes (Continued)

The Company recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements within interest expense. The Company recognizes penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits within general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to their insignificance to its financial position and results of operations.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for federal purposes of $4,268 and $4,367 for state income tax purposes that are available to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in the year 2022. At December 31, 2012, the Company had Minnesota research and development tax credit carryforwards of $12, which begin to expire in the year 2022.

The Company does not anticipate that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next twelve months.

Note 6.

Warrants and Stock-Based Compensation Plans

Warrants: The Company has warrants outstanding to purchase 2,500 shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $4.01 per share. These warrants were granted prior to 2007 and expire on February 16, 2016.

Employee stock purchase plan: The 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) has provided Winland employees the opportunity to purchase common stock through payroll deductions. The purchase price is set at the lower of 85% of the fair market value of common stock at the beginning of the participation period or 85% of the fair market value on the purchase date. The participation periods have a 6-month duration beginning in January and July of each year. A total of 300,000 shares of common stock were authorized for issuance under the ESPP of which 136,880 have been issued. No shares were issued for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Stock option plans: On January 25, 2013, Winland’s Board of Directors approved the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan from which 250,000 stock-based compensation awards can be granted to eligible employees, officers or directors and was the only equity-based compensation plan available. On February 28, 2013, Winland’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan increasing the plan to 350,000 stock-based compensation awards available to grant. The plan is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders. Previous to this plan, stock-based compensation awards were granted from the 2008 and 2005 Equity Incentive Plans. The plans are as follows:

2013 Equity Incentive Plan – This plan provides up to 350,000 awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and restricted stock. As of January 25, 2013, this is the only plan under which awards are authorized for grant. Awards issued under the plan as of March 15, 2013 include 185,000 shares of incentive stock options outstanding and which are unvested. The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Winland’s common stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest over five years and have a contractual life up to 10 years. Option awards provide for accelerated vesting if substantially all of Winland’s assets are transferred through an acquisition, merger, reorganization or other similar change of control transaction. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options. This plan is subject to shareholder approval.

On January 28, 2013, the Company issued 50,000 incentive stock options to Brian D. Lawrence, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President pursuant to the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan. These options had weighted average grant date fair value of $0.38 with annual vesting of twenty five percent (25%) over the next succeeding four years. Also on January 28, 2013, the Company issued 185,000 incentive stock options to David A. Gagne, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. These options had an estimated grant date fair value of $0.38 with annual vesting of twenty five percent (25%) over the next succeeding four years.

2008 Equity Incentive Plan – This plan provided awards in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and restricted stock. As of December 31, 2012, this was the only plan under which awards were authorized for grant. As amended by the shareholders in May 2009, up to 500,000 shares are authorized for issuance under the plan. Awards issued under the plan as of December 31, 2012 include 185,000 shares of incentive stock options outstanding and which are un-vested and 256,000 nonqualified stock options which were outstanding and which were vested. This plan was terminated as to future grants in January 2013.

Note 6.

Warrants and Stock-Based Compensation Plans (Continued)

The exercise price is equal to the fair market value of Winland’s common stock at the date of grant. Options generally vest over five years and have a contractual life up to 10 years. Option awards provide for accelerated vesting if substantially all of Winland’s assets are transferred through an acquisition, merger, reorganization or other similar change of control transaction. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of options.

2005 Equity Incentive Plan – This plan provided grants in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, and restricted stock. This plan was terminated as to future grants in May 2008. As of December 31, 2012, there were 27,500 options outstanding under this plan of which 27,500 are vested.

Winland uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods.

	December 31
	2012			2011
Expected life, in years		4			5
Expected volatility		79.1	%		80.3	%
Risk-free interest rate		0.4	%		1.8	%
Dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%

Winland calculates the expected life of awards using historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations. Expected volatility is based on daily historical fluctuations of Winland’s common stock using the closing market value for the number of days of the expected term immediately preceding the grant. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant for a bond with a similar term. The dividend yield is based on the expectation that Winland will not pay dividends.

Winland receives a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises and disqualifying stock dispositions during the period the options are exercised or the stock is sold, generally for the excess of the price at which the shares are sold over the exercise prices of the options. In accordance with FASB ASC 718-10-50-1, Winland revised its presentation in the Statements of Cash Flows to report any tax benefit from the exercise of stock options as financing cash flows. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no such stock option exercises and disqualifying stock dispositions. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0 and $2 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

In January 2011, 54,000 stock options were cancelled due to the termination of certain employees related to the sale of the EMS assets, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.24.

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding and options exercisable is based upon the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal year for the in-the-money options.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted with an exercise price equal to the deemed stock price on the date of grant during 2012 and 2011 was $0.41 and $0.44, respectively.

The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $38 and $44, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

On November 15, 2010, Winland entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Nortech Systems, Incorporated (“Nortech”). Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Winland sold to Nortech the Company’s EMS business segment, which consisted of the design and manufacture of printed circuit board assemblies and higher level products sold mainly to original equipment manufacturer customers. The sale of the EMS segment to Nortech was completed on January 1, 2011 pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and approved by the Company’s shareholders on December 29, 2010 (the “Asset Sale”).

Aggregate consideration for the Asset Sale consisted of the following: (i) $1,542 in cash, of which $1,042 was paid at closing, $250 was paid on July 1, 2011 and $250 was paid on October 1, 2011, (ii) inventory consumption of $2,906 against the obligation of at least $2,200, and (ii) the assumption of $2,073 of liabilities of the EMS business segment. The terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and the amount of the consideration for the Asset Sale were negotiated by the Company and Nortech on an arms-length basis. The Asset Sale, net of transaction costs, resulted in a gain of approximately $59 during year ended December 31, 2011.

Additionally, in connection with the Asset Sale, the Company entered into (i) a manufacturing agreement with Nortech, whereby Nortech manufactures certain products for the Company related to the production of the Company’s proprietary monitoring devices, (ii) a lease agreement whereby the Company leased to Nortech, for six years, its office and manufacturing facility and improvements located at 1950 Excel Drive, Mankato Minnesota, 56001, and (iii) a sublease agreement with Nortech whereby Nortech subleased to the Company 1,000 square feet of the building that the Company leased to Nortech pursuant to the lease agreement, and (iv) non-compete agreements with the Company and certain key employees for a period of two-years.

Winland and Nortech entered into a manufacturing agreement effective January 1, 2011 pursuant to which Nortech manufactured certain products for Winland through July 1, 2011. The agreed upon transfer price for products manufactured was Winland’s current standard manufacturing costs at time of sale plus a five percent (5%) mark-up during the six months after the date of the agreement, seven percent (7%) during the seventh through ninth months after the date of the agreement and ten percent (10%) during the tenth through the twelfth months after the date of the agreement. On December 27, 2011, Winland and Nortech entered into a new Manufacturing Agreement replacing the prior manufacturing agreement.

The new Manufacturing Agreement provides Nortech exclusive rights to manufacture Winland’s finished goods requirements relating to specified products at a mutually agreed upon price. The new Manufacturing Agreement will expire on December 31, 2013.

On January 1, 2011, Nortech entered into a commercial building lease (the “Lease”) with the Company to lease the entire office and manufacturing facility located at 1950 Excel Drive, Mankato, MN from the Company. The term of the Lease was scheduled to terminate on January 1, 2017 with Nortech required to pay rent of $5.25 per square foot ($305 annually) commencing on January 1, 2012. The Lease provided for a 2.5% increase on the third anniversary and requires Nortech to pay all operating costs including real estate taxes. Nortech also had the right of first refusal upon sale of the property as defined in the Lease. The lease terminated on December 31, 2012 with the sale of the building as noted below.

Discontinued Operations (Continued)

On November 27, 2012, Winland executed a Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Nortech Systems, Inc. (“Nortech”) to sell the above mentioned facility and land. The agreed upon purchase price was $2,650,000. Winland and Nortech executed the closing documents on December 31, 2012 with the funds placed in to escrow with North American Title Company. Winland received the funds on January 8, 2013. The building and land had a carrying cost of $2,135,000, resulting in a gain of $506,000, after deducting expenses related to the sale of $9,000. Rental revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $261,000, reduced by $218,000 for the reversal of unamortized rental revenue recognized on the straight-line basis in 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company also recognized income of $106,000 related to the remaining unamortized deferred revenue associated with the tax increment financing associated with the facility.

The assets were not classified as non-current discontinued assets prior to the sale of the assets on December 31, 2012, as the Company received significant cash flows from the asset group until the sale date. As a result of the sale of the land and building on December 31, 2012, the Company determined it would not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the asset group after the disposal date and, therefore, reclassified for all periods presented the operations and the gain on sale of the land and building as discontinued operations.

In connection with the Company’s sale of its office and manufacturing facility and improvements to Nortech, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with Nortech for the lease of 1,900 square feet of office space at $5.25 per square foot.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On December 9, 2003, Winland’s Board of Directors adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. Under the plan, rights were constructively distributed as a dividend at the rate of one right for each share of common stock of Winland held by the shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2003.

Subsequent Events

On April 11, 2012 the Company received a notice from NYSE Amex LLC indicating that it was not in compliance with the continued listing requirements due to: the Company having stockholders’ equity of less than $4,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE Amex Exchange’s Corporate Guide; and stockholders’ equity of less than $6,000,000 and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in the Company’s five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2011, as set forth in Section 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE Amex Exchange’s Company Guide.

Despite the Company’s diligent efforts to meet the requirements of the NYSE Amex Exchange, On March 6, 2013 it was informed by the NYSE Amex Exchange that the Company’s common stock would be delisted. The Company’s common stock was immediately eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board and began trading on the OTC Bulletin Board as of the open of business on March 21, 2013.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Winland’s principal executive and financial officers evaluated its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012. Based upon that evaluation, it was concluded as of December 31, 2012, that Winland’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information it is required to disclose in the reports that Winland files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. In addition, the principal executive and financial officers concluded as of December 31, 2012 that its disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that Winland files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, including Winland’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Winland’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Winland’s internal control system over financial reporting is designed by, or under the supervision of, its chief financial officer, and is effected by its board of directors, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Winland’s 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 assets of the company;

(ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and that transactions are made only in accordance with the authorization of our management and directors; and

(iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized transactions that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in condition, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Winland’s management assessed the effectiveness of Winland’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, Winland’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment and those criteria, Winland’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents

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

Changes in Internal Control.

During the interim reporting periods March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2012, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer prepared the financial statements with Winland’s Audit Committee Chair providing a secondary review due to the Company not having a Chief Executive Officer. Upon the hiring of the Chief Executive Officer in December 2012, the Chief Executive Officer provided a secondary review of the financials for the three months ended December 31, 2012 as prepared by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. This process may be deemed a change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
