Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods. The results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, income taxes, and stock-based compensation. Specific to inventories, including work-in-process and contracts in process, management evaluates, quarterly, those estimates used in determining the cost to complete for each contract on Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.’s (the “Company”) sales backlog. The change in estimates may affect the reported amount of inventories and gross profit in the current or a future period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent audited financial statements included in its report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2022. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 2. Investment Securities
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
| ◾ | Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date. |
| ◾ | Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
| ◾ | Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. |
The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximated fair value as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
Investment securities at December 31, 2022 consists of certificates of deposit, municipal bonds and U.S. treasury bills and at June 30, 2022 consisted of certificates of deposit and municipal bonds. The Company classifies investment securities as available-for-sale which have been determined to be level 1 assets. The cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value of available-for-sale debt securities by major security type at December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are as follows:
| Gross | Gross | |||||||||||||||

Note 3. Net Income per Share
Basic net income
per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities
or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that
then shared in the income of the Company. The computation of diluted net income per share, excluded options to purchase
Note 4. Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows ASC 718 in establishing standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, as well as transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. ASC 718 requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements based on the fair value of the share-based payment. ASC 718 establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment transactions with employees, except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.
Total stock-based compensation expense recognized
in the statements of comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $
As of December 31, 2022, there was approximately

The Company has one employee stock option plan under
which options or stock awards may be granted, the 2017 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan (the "2017 Plan"). The Board of
Directors may grant options to acquire shares of common stock to employees and non-employee directors of the Company at the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to options or awards to
non-employee directors is
ASC 718 requires the use of a valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which incorporates various assumptions including those for dividend yield, volatility, expected life and interest rates.
The table below outlines the weighted average assumptions that the Company used to calculate the fair value of each option award for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.
| December 31, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | |||||||
| Company’s expected volatility | ||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | ||||||||
| Expected term | ||||||||
| Weighted average fair value per share of options granted during the period | $ | $ | ||||||
Expected stock price volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent term approximating the expected life of the options. The expected option term (in years) represents the estimated period of time until exercise and is based on actual historical experience.
The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended December 31, 2022:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table
above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock
as reported on the NYSE American on December 31, 2022 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that
would have been received by the option holders if all option holders had exercised their options on December 31, 2022. This amount changes
based on the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended
December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company from time to time, enters into standby
letters of credit agreements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts.
Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letters of credit agreements aggregated to
We are party to various litigation matters and claims arising from time to time in the ordinary course of business. There are no such pending matters which we believe will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6. Revenue
The Company follows ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to determine the recognition of revenue. This standard requires entities to assess the products or services promised in contracts with customers at contract inception to determine the appropriate unit at which to record revenues. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services.
Significant judgment is required in determining the satisfaction of performance obligations. Revenues from our performance obligations are satisfied over time using the output method which considers the appraisal of results achieved and milestones reached or units delivered based on contractual shipment terms, typically shipping point. Revenue is recognized when, or as, the customer takes control of the product or services. The output method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer as the output method represents work completed. Control is typically transferred to the customer at the shipping point as the Company has a present right to payment, the customer has legal title to the asset, the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset, and in most instances the customer has accepted the asset.
Total revenue recognized for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2022 based on units delivered was $
11
The Company offers a standard one-year product warranty. Product warranties offered by the Company are classified as assurance-type warranties, which means, the warranty only guarantees that the good or service functions as promised. Based on this, the provided warranty is not considered to be a distinct performance obligation. The impact of variable consideration has been considered but none identified which would be required to be allocated to the transaction price as of December 31, 2022. Our payment terms are generally 30-60 days.
Contract liabilities were $

Note 7. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 amends ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for investments, intraperiod allocations and interim calculations, and adding guidance to reduce complexity in the accounting standard under the FASB’s simplification initiative. ASU 2019-12 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Upon adoption, the amendments in ASU 2019-12 should be applied on a prospective basis to all periods presented. The Company adopted the new guidance under ASU 2019-12 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 and removed the exception for intraperiod allocations from its interim period tax provision calculation, accordingly. The removal of the exception for intraperiod allocations did not have a material impact on the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, with further clarifications made more recently. For trade receivables, loans and other financial instruments, the Company will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities are required to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Upon adoption, the amendments in ASU 2016-13 should be applied on a prospective basis to all periods presented relating to available-for-sale debt securities. For all other financial instruments the Company upon adoption will apply the amendments on a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is expected to adopt the new guidance under ASU 2016-13 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, beginning July 1, 2023, and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption on its financial statements.
Note 8. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership
plan (the "ESOP") that covers all nonunion employees who work

The Company may at times be required to repurchase shares at the ESOP participants’ request at the shares’ fair market value. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not repurchase shares previously held by the ESOP.
The ESOP allows for eligible participants
to take whole share distributions from the Plan on specific dates in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. Share distributions
from the ESOP during the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 totaled

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp. (“Espey”) is a power electronics design and original equipment manufacturing (OEM) company with a long history of developing and delivering highly reliable products for use in military and severe environment applications. Design, manufacturing, and testing is performed in our 150,000+ square foot facility located at 233 Ballston Ave, Saratoga Springs, New York. Espey is classified as a “smaller reporting company” for purposes of the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Espey’s common stock is publicly-traded on the NYSE American under the symbol “ESP.”
Espey began operations after incorporation in New York in 1928. We strive to remain competitive as a leader in high power energy conversion and transformer solutions through the design and manufacture of new and improved products by using advanced and “cutting edge” electronics technologies.
Espey is ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100:2016 certified. Our primary products are power supplies, power converters, filters, power transformers, magnetic components, power distribution equipment, UPS systems, antennas and high power radar systems. The applications of these products include AC and DC locomotives, shipboard power, shipboard radar, airborne power, ground-based radar, and ground mobile power.
Espey services include design and development to specification, build to print, design services, design studies, environmental testing services, metal fabrication, painting services, and development of automatic testing equipment. Espey is vertically integrated, meaning that the Company produces individual components (including inductors), populates printed circuit boards, fabricates metalwork, paints, wires, qualifies, and fully tests items, mechanically, electrically and environmentally, in house. Portions of the manufacturing and testing process are subcontracted to vendors from time to time.
The Company markets its products primarily through its own direct sales organization and through outside sales representatives. Business is solicited from large industrial manufacturers and defense companies, the government of the United States, foreign governments and major foreign electronic equipment companies. Espey is also on the eligible list of contractors with the United States Department of Defense. We pursue opportunities for prime contracts directly with the Department of Defense and are generally automatically solicited by Department of Defense procurement agencies for their needs falling within the major classes of products produced by the Company. Espey contracts with the Federal Government under cage code 20950 as Espey Mfg. & Electronics Corp.
There is competition in all classes of products manufactured by the Company, ranging from divisions of the largest electronic companies, to many small companies. The Company's sales do not represent a significant share of the industry's market for any class of its products. The principal methods of competition for electronic products of both a military and industrial nature include, among other factors, price, product performance, the experience of the particular company and history of its dealings in such products.
Our business is not seasonal. However, the concentration of our business in the rail industry, and in equipment for military applications and industrial applications, and our customer concentrations expose us to on-going associated risks. These risks include, without limitation, fluctuating requirements for power supplies in the rail industry, dependence on appropriations from the United States Government and the governments of foreign nations, program allocations, the potential of governmental termination of orders for convenience, and the general strength of the industry sectors in which our customers transact business.
Future procurement needs supporting the military and the rail industry continue to drive competition. Many of our competitors have invested, and continue to invest aggressively in upfront product design costs and accept lower profit margins as a strategic means of maintaining existing business and enhancing market share. This continues to put pressure on the pricing of our current products and has lowered our profit margins on some of our new business. In order to compete effectively for new business, in some cases we have invested in upfront design costs, thereby reducing initial profitability as a means of procuring new long-term programs. As part of our strategy, we adjust our pricing in order to achieve a balance which enables us both to retain repeat programs while being more competitive in bidding on new programs.
14
We continue to place an emphasis on securing “build to print” opportunities, which will allow production work to go directly to the manufacturing floor, limiting the impact on our engineering staff. This allows us to keep our manufacturing team busy while the products are being developed in-house for production.
The total backlog at December 31, 2022 was approximately $78.3 million, which included approximately $64.2 million from six significant customers, compared to $70.1 million at December 31, 2021, which included $45.8 million from four significant customers. The Company’s total backlog represents the estimated remaining sales value of work to be performed under firm contracts. The backlog at December 31, 2022 is fully funded except for $32 thousand, representing one firm multi-year order from a single customer for which funding has not yet been appropriated by Congress and/or the customer has not funded the program. While there is no guarantee that future budgets and appropriations will provide funding for individual programs, management has included in unfunded backlog only those programs that it believes are likely to receive funding based on program status and discussions with customers. The unfunded backlog at December 31, 2021 was approximately $0.4 million and represented two firm multi-year orders from a single customer for which funding had not yet been appropriated by Congress and/or funded by our customer. Contracts are subject to modification, change or cancellation, and the Company accounts for these changes as they are probable and estimable. The Company evaluates the impact of any scope modifications and will adjust reserves as information is known and estimable.
Successful conversion of engineering program backlog into sales is largely dependent on the execution and completion of our engineering design efforts. It is not uncommon to experience technical or scheduling delays which arise from time to time as a result of, among other reasons, design complexity, the availability of personnel with the requisite expertise, and the requirements to obtain customer approval at various milestones. Cost overruns which may arise from technical and schedule delays and increased raw material costs could negatively impact the timing of the conversion of backlog into sales, or the profitability of such sales. We continue to experience technical and schedule delays with certain major development programs. The issues causing the delays are being resolved as soon as possible and we continue to work with our customers on newly arising delays. Engineering programs in both the funded and unfunded portions of the current backlog aggregate $7.5 million.
The growth and continuing demand in the power electronics industry across multiple manufacturing sectors has created volatility and unpredictability in the availability of certain electronic components and, in some cases, continues to create industry shortages. These shortages have and will likely continue to impact our ability to support our customer’s schedule demands, as lead times for these components have, in some instances, increased from readily available to waiting times of nearly a year or more. In addition, we continue to incur delays in material deliveries from some company suppliers due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continue to work with our customers to mitigate any adverse impact upon our ability to service their requirements. These issues, if they persist, may cause us to miss projected delivery dates.
Management expects revenues in fiscal year 2023 to be higher than revenues during fiscal year 2022 and expects net income per share to be higher in fiscal 2023 as compared to the net income per share realized during fiscal year 2022. These expectations are driven by orders already in our sales backlog. Consistent quarter to quarter financial performance will remain a challenge as we navigate a current difficult environment of inflation and parts shortages.
Effects from global events and the resulting supply chain disruptions continue to place pressure on the cost of raw materials, freight, utility, labor and other production and administrative costs. These inflationary cost challenges are expected to continue to have a negative impact on operating income in fiscal year 2023. Volatile raw material indexes and shortages have led to wide-spread vendor price increases. For our executed fixed-price contracts, we will either singularly or in combination, continue to 1) be required to absorb the increased costs 2) mitigate cost increases through the identification of additional supply chain buying strategies or 3) submit for price remediation assistance from our customers. To minimize exposure on future fixed-price contracts, we continue to incorporate inflationary increases to product quotations provided to our customers, some of which have resulted in significant price increases. As additional mitigation steps, we have, in many instances, reduced the time in which certain product quotations remain valid and have also extended lead times for product deliveries. We continue to work with our customers to mitigate any adverse impact upon our ability to service their requirements.
The Company currently expects new orders in fiscal 2023 to approximate the $43.2 million in new orders received in fiscal year 2022. As market factors including competition and product costs impact gross profit margins, management will continue to evaluate our sales strategy, employment levels, and facility costs.
15
New orders received in the first six months of fiscal year 2023 were approximately $19 million as compared to approximately $19.5 million new orders received in the first six months of fiscal 2022. It is presently anticipated that a minimum of $18.6 million of orders comprising the December 31, 2022 backlog will be filled during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023 subject, however, to the impact of the factors identified above. The minimum of $18.6 million does not include any shipments, which may be made against orders subsequently received during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023.
In addition to the backlog, the Company currently has outstanding opportunities representing approximately $105 million in the aggregate as of February 6, 2023 for both repeat and new programs. The outstanding quotations encompass various new and previously manufactured power supplies, transformers, and subassemblies. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will acquire any of the anticipated orders described above, many of which are subject to allocations of the United States defense spending and factors affecting the defense industry.
A significant portion of the Company’s business is the production of military and industrial electronic equipment for use by the U.S. and foreign governments and certain industrial customers. Net sales to four significant customers represented 69% of the Company’s total sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022. Net sales to four significant customers represented 59% of the Company’s total sales for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021. Net sales to five significant customers represented 83% of the Company’s total sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 2022. Net sales to five significant customers represented 67% of the Company’s total sales for the six-month period ended December 31, 2021. A loss of one of these customers or programs related to these customers, or customer requested deferrals of product delivery could significantly impact the Company.
Historically, a small number of customers have accounted for a large percentage of the Company’s total sales in any given fiscal year. Management continues to pursue opportunities with current and new customers with an overall objective of lowering the concentration of sales, mitigating excessive reliance upon a single major product of a particular program and minimizing the impact of the loss of a single significant customer. Given the nature of our business, we believe our existing sales order backlog is fairly diversified in terms of customers and the category of products on order.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management believes our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and cost estimation on our contracts.
Revenue
The majority of our net sales is generated from contracts with industrial manufacturers and defense companies, the Department of Defense, other agencies of the government of the United States and foreign governments for the design, development and/or manufacture of products. We provide our products and design and development services under fixed-price contracts. Under fixed-price contracts we agree to perform the specified work for a pre-determined price. To the extent our actual costs vary from the estimates upon which the price was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss.
We account for a contract with a customer after it has been approved by all parties to the arrangement, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance, and collection of substantially all of the amount to which the entity will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer is probable. We assess each contract at its inception to determine whether it should be combined with other contracts. When making this determination, we consider factors such as whether two or more contracts were negotiated and executed at or near the same time, or were negotiated with an overall profit objective.
We evaluate the products or services promised in each contract at inception to determine whether the contract should be accounted for as having one or more performance obligations. Significant judgment is required in determining performance obligations. We determine the transaction price for each contract based on the consideration we expect to receive for the products or services being provided under the contract. The transaction price for each performance obligation is based on the estimated standalone selling price of the product or service underlying each performance obligation. Transaction prices on our contracts subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) are typically based on estimated costs plus a reasonable profit margin.
We recognize revenue using the output method based on the appraisal of results achieved and milestones reached or units delivered based on contractual shipment terms, typically shipping point.
16
Inventory
Raw materials are valued at the lower of cost (average cost) or net realizable value. Balances for slow-moving and obsolete inventory are reviewed on a regular basis by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels, market conditions, and other information and reduce inventory balances based on this analysis.
Inventoried work relating to contracts in process and work in process is valued at actual production cost, including factory overhead incurred to date. Contract costs include material, subcontract costs, labor, and an allocation of overhead costs. Work in process represents spare units and parts and other inventory items acquired or produced to service units previously sold or to meet anticipated future orders. Provision for losses on contracts is made when the existence of such losses becomes probable and estimable. The provision for losses on contracts is included in other accrued expenses on the Company’s balance sheet. The costs attributed to units delivered under contracts are based on the estimated average cost of all units expected to be produced. Certain contracts are expected to extend beyond twelve months.
The estimation of total cost at completion of a contract is subject to numerous variables involving contract costs and estimates as to the length of time to complete the contract. Given the significance of the estimation processes and judgments described above, it is possible that materially different amounts of expected sales and contract costs could be recorded if different assumptions were used, based on changes in circumstances, in the estimation process. When a change in expected sales value or estimated cost is determined, the change is reflected in current period earnings.
Contract Liabilities
Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $8,804,109 and $7,458,050, respectively, an 18.0% increase. Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $17,439,904 and $15,003,482, respectively, a 16.2% increase. In general, sales fluctuations within product categories will occur during a comparable fiscal period as the direct result of product mix, influenced by the duration of specific programs and the contractual terms of firm orders placed for product and services under those programs including contract value, scope of work and duration. Deliverables within firm contracts are often subject to delivery schedules which also contributes to sales fluctuations between comparable periods. Internal and external constraints, at times, impact our ability to ship. In general, the Company continues to experience long lead times and supply chain delays which have a direct impact on the timing of shipments for certain programs and may result in sales fluctuations recorded between periods.
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, sales increased primarily due to an increase in shipments on specific contracts related to a family of power distribution transformers for a single customer when compared to sales recognized in the prior year. In addition, sales increased in the current quarter on several new and repeat contracts which had no comparable sales in the same period last year. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in sales on several power supply programs, two of which had no sales in the current year when compared to the same period last year and the other which had lower sales in the current period, a result of ongoing supply chain material delays and long component lead times. Sales increased in the six months ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to an increase in shipments on specific contracts related to a family of power distribution transformers for a single customer when compared to sales recognized in the prior year. In addition, sales increased in the current quarter on multiple new and repeat contracts which had no or significantly fewer comparable sales in the same period last year. One such contract was for a new engineering and production program. These increases were offset, in part, by a decrease in sales on several power supply programs, two of which had no or minimal sales in the current year when compared to the same period last year and the other which had lower sales in the current period, a result of ongoing supply chain material delays and long component lead times. Sales in the six month period also declined on a large magnetic engineering and production contract and several build to print contracts due to timing of orders and customer delivery dates.

Gross profits for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $2,260,722 and $1,206,817, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was approximately 25.7% and 16.2%, for the same periods, respectively. Gross profits for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $4,072,864 and $2,559,915, respectively. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was approximately 23.4% and 17.1% for the same periods, respectively. The primary factors in determining the change in gross profit and net income are overall sales levels and product mix. The gross profits on mature products and build to print contracts are typically higher as compared to products which are still in the engineering development stage or in early stages of production. In the case of the latter, the Company can incur what it refers to as “loss contracts,” primarily on engineering design contracts in which the Company invests with the objective of developing future product sales. In any given accounting period the mix of product shipments between higher margin programs and less mature programs, and expenditures associated with loss contracts, has a significant impact on gross profit and net income.
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the same period last year resulted from an increase in sales and a higher overall gross profit percentage comprising those shipments which was influenced by product mix. In the current period, gross profit was favorably impacted from higher sales and improved margins on a specific magnetics contract and a build to print contract, resulting from manufacturing improvements. The prior year's gross profit was negatively impacted by certain programs which had higher sales in the prior year and contributed less to gross profit as the result of cost overruns when compared to the same period this year. These costs overruns included labor from both production and engineering efforts made and the impact of inflationary pricing on materials for certain fixed-price contracts. In addition, specific to the prior year, gross profit was negatively impacted by the expensing of remaining development costs formerly capitalized in inventory on a specific engineering design program in which our customer had delayed unit qualification testing and for which production units were not expected to be manufactured in the near term. The increase in gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the same period last year resulted from an increase in sales and a higher overall gross profit percentage comprising those shipments which was influenced by product mix. In the current period, gross profit was favorably impacted from higher sales and improved margins on a specific magnetics contract and a build to print contract, resulting from manufacturing improvements. Conversely, current year gross profit was negatively impacted by cost overruns on a specific engineering design contract for a power supply due to the unforeseen complexity of the design. In addition, sales on a certain build to print contract did not contribute to gross profit due to production overruns caused by test failures. The prior year gross profit was negatively impacted by certain programs which had higher sales in the prior year and contributed less to gross profit as the result of cost overruns when compared to the same period this year. These cost overruns included labor from both production and engineering efforts made and the impact of inflationary pricing on materials for certain fixed-price contracts. In addition, to a lesser extent, specific to the prior year, gross profit was negatively impacted by the expensing of remaining development costs formerly capitalized in inventory on a specific engineering design program in which our customer had delayed unit qualification testing and for which production units were not expected to be manufactured in the near term.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $874,931 for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $311,237, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,713,961 for the six months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $467,029 compared to the six months ended December 31, 2021. The higher costs for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 related primarily to one-time expenses attributed to a change in senior management. In addition, fewer costs were incurred in the current period when compared to the prior period resulting from a decrease in board of directors fees resulting from a reduction of two non-employee directors, a decrease in outside selling costs related to outside sales representatives, and lower professional recruiting costs incurred.
Other income for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $73,542 and $11,821, respectively. Other income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $86,116 and $31,388, respectively. The increase for the three and six months ended is primarily due to the increase in interest income resulting from an increase in investment securities and an increase in interest rates, offset, in part by a decrease in other income primarily from scrap sales. Interest income is a function of the level of investments and investment strategies that generally tend to be conservative.
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 was approximately 21.5% and 21.7% respectively, compared to 34.7% and 20.2% for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2023 is greater than the statutory tax rate mainly due to the permanent difference for incentive stock option expense recorded for book purposes which is not deductible for tax purposes. In the current period, there was no benefit received from ESOP dividends paid on allocated shares due to the suspension of the company dividend. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2022 was less than the statutory tax rate mainly from the benefit derived from the ESOP dividends paid on allocated shares. The effective tax rate was lower for the three month periods ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The prior year rate was unfavorably impacted from non-qualified stock forfeitures. The effective tax rate was higher for the six months ended December 31, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to no benefit received from ESOP dividends paid due to the suspension of the company dividend.
Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2022, was $1,146,042 or $0.47 per share, basic and diluted, compared to net income of $21,201 or $0.01 per share, basic and diluted, for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2022 was $1,914,308 or $0.78 per share, basic and diluted, compared to $327,262 or $0.14 per share, basic and diluted, for the six months ended December 31, 2021. The increase in net income in the three and six months ended resulted primarily from the increase in gross profit, a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, an increase in interest income, offset in part, by an increase in the provision for income taxes, all discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's working capital is an appropriate indicator of the liquidity of its business, and during the past two fiscal years, the Company, when possible, has funded all of its operations with cash flows resulting from operating activities and when necessary from its existing cash and investments. The Company did not borrow any funds during the last two fiscal years. Management has available a $3,000,000 line of credit to help fund further growth or working capital needs, if necessary, but does not anticipate the need for any borrowed funds in the foreseeable future. Contingent liabilities on outstanding standby letters of credit agreements aggregated to zero at December 31, 2022 and 2021. The existing line of credit expires February 28, 2023. It is our expectation the line will be renewed.
The Company's working capital as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was approximately $31.6 million and $28.1 million, respectively. The Company may at times be required to repurchase shares at the ESOP participants’ request at fair market value. During the three and six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares held by the ESOP. Under existing authorizations from the Company's Board of Directors, as of December 31, 2022, management is authorized to purchase an additional $783,460 of Company stock.
The table below presents the summary of cash flow information for the fiscal years indicated:
| Six Months Ended December 31, | ||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 4,683,450 | $ | 277,858 | ||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (6,459,068 | ) | (62,288 | ) | ||||
Net cash provided by operating activities fluctuates between periods primarily as a result of differences in sales and net income, provision for income taxes, the timing of the collection of accounts receivable, purchase of inventory, and payment of accounts payable. The increase in cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior year primarily relates to an increase in net income, an increase in cash collected from trade receivables, an increase in cash collected from customer advances, and an increase in accounts payable when compared to the comparable period last year offset, in part, by an increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets between comparable periods. Net cash used in investing activities increased in the six months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 primarily due to an increase in investment securities when compared to the same period last year. The Company currently believes that the cash flow generated from operations and when necessary, from cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its long-term funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
During the six months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company expended $103,885 and $97,288, respectively, for plant improvements and new equipment. The Company has budgeted approximately $500,000 for new equipment and plant improvements in fiscal year 2023. The Company expects additional cash outlay in fiscal 2023 associated with the facility and capital equipment upgrades discussed in Note 9. Subsequent Events. Management anticipates that the funds required will be available from current operations.
