Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines “fair value” as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also sets forth a valuation hierarchy of the inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into the following three levels:
Level 1: | Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3: | Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. |
Level 1: | Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets. |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
Level 3: | Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. |
Level 1:
Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.
Level 2:
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3:
Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.
The Company’s securities are subject to level 1 fair value measurement.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate their fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable consists of unsecured credit extended to the Company’s customers in the ordinary course of business. The Company reserves for any amounts deemed to be uncollectible based on past collection experiences and an analysis of outstanding balances, using an allowance account. The allowance amount was $
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are recorded in net sales. Shipping costs incurred by the Company are recorded in cost of sales.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) method. The Company buys raw material only to fill customer orders. Excess raw material is created only when a vendor imposes a minimum quantity buy in excess of actual requirements. Such excess material will usually be utilized to meet the requirements of the customer’s subsequent orders. If excess material is not utilized after two fiscal years it is fully reserved. Any inventory item once designated as reserved is carried at zero value in all subsequent valuation activities. The Company maintains a three inch wafer fab which procures raw wafers and produces finished wafers based on management’s estimates of projected future demand. Finished wafers are considered work-in-process since they are usable for many years, and in some circumstances can be used on more than one finished product depending on customer parameters.
The Company does not classify a portion of inventories as non-current since we cannot reasonably estimate based on the length of our operating cycle which items will or will not be used within twelve months.
The Company’s inventory valuation policy is as follows:
Raw material /Work in process: |
| All material acquired or processed in the last two fiscal years is valued at the lower of its acquisition cost or net realizable value, except for wafers which function under a three- year policy. All material not used after two fiscal years is fully reserved for except wafers which are reserved for after three years. Finished wafers produced in our wafer fab are stored in the wafer bank and are considered work-in-process. Raw material in excess of five years’ usage that cannot be restocked, and slow-moving work in process are reserved for. |

Property, Plant, Equipment, and Leasehold Improvements
Property, plant, and equipment is recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs that do not extend their expected life are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the lives of the related assets:

Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and account receivables. The Company places its cash with high credit quality institutions. At times, such amounts may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on the accounts. As of August 31, 2021, all non-interest bearing checking accounts were FDIC insured to a limit of $
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share is presented in accordance with ASC 260-10 “Earnings per Share.” Basic earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share incorporate the incremental shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of stock options to the extent they are not anti-dilutive using the treasury stock method. The Company had no stock options outstanding during fiscal 2021 and 2022; therefore, there is no effect from dilution on earnings per share.
Revenue Recognition
On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods and services to customers. The ASU replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in the United States. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method.
Based on a review of its customer contracts, the Company has determined that revenue on the majority of its customer contracts will continue to be recognized at a point in time, generally upon shipment of products, consistent with the Company’s historical revenue recognition model.
The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve that core principle, the Company applied the following steps:
1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer.
The Company designs, develops, manufactures and markets solid-state semiconductor components and related devices. The Company’s products are used as components primarily in the military and aerospace markets.
The Company’s revenues are from purchase orders and/or contracts with customers associated with manufacture of products. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
| 10 |
| Table of Contents |
2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract.
The majority of the Company’s purchase orders or contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, the shipment of products.
3. Determine the transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from the customer at a fixed price per unit shipped based on the terms of the contract or purchase order with the customer. To the extent our actual costs vary from the fixed price that was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss.
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery. The Company receives purchase orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across reporting periods. The Company’s accounting policy treats shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. The Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes revenues at the fixed price for each distinct product delivered when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon shipment.
In addition, the Company may have a contract or purchase order to provide a non-recurring engineering service to a customer. These contracts are reviewed, performance obligations are determined, and we recognize revenue at the point in time in which each performance obligation is fully satisfied.
We recognize revenue on sales to distributors when the distributor takes control of the products (“sold-to” model). We have agreements with distributors that allow distributors a limited credit for unsaleable products, which we refer to as a “scrap allowance.” Consistent with industry practice, we also have a “stock, ship and debit” program whereby we consider requests by distributors for credits on previously purchased products that remain in distributors’ inventory, to enable the distributors to offer more competitive pricing. We have contractual arrangements whereby we provide distributors with protection against price reductions initiated by us after product is sold by us to the distributor and prior to resale by the distributor. In addition, we have a termination clause in one of our distributor agreements that would allow for a full credit for all inventory upon 60 days notice of terminating the agreement.
We recognize the estimated variable consideration to be received as revenue and record a related accrued expense for the consideration not expected to be received, based upon an estimate of product returns, scrap allowances, “stock, ship and debit” credits, and price protection credits that will be attributable to sales recorded through the end of the period. We make these estimates based upon sales levels to our customers during the period, inventory levels at the distributors, current and projected market conditions, and historical experience under the programs. Our estimates require the exercise of significant judgments. We believe that we have a reasonable basis to estimate future credits under the programs.
Related Party Transactions

Mr. Aubrey, a director of the Company is a minority owner, and an immediate family member of the majority owner of ES Components. For the six months ended August 31, 2021, the Company purchased $
Stock based compensation
The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. Under ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of outstanding stock options and grants as they vest, whether held by employees or others. No vesting of stock options or grants occurred during the three and six month periods ended August 31, 2021 or August 31, 2020.

Financial Statement Estimates
The preparation of condensed 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 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and the differences could be material. Such estimates include depreciable life, valuation allowance, and allowance for inventory obsolescence.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
No recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies.

The Company manufactures a large variety of bipolar and metal oxide semiconductor (“MOS”) power transistors, power and control hybrids, junction and power MOS field effect transistors and other related products. Most of the Company’s products are custom made pursuant to contracts with customers whose end products are sold to the United States government. Other products, such as Joint Army/Navy transistors, diodes and Standard Military Drawings voltage regulators, are sold as standard or catalog items.
The following discussion and analysis of factors which have affected the Company’s financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and the related Notes to Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2021 and the Unaudited Financial Statements and the related Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon the unaudited condensed financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Our critical accounting policies include cash and cash equivalents, investment in securities, revenue recognition, earnings per common share, shipping and handling, and inventories. A discussion of these critical accounting policies are included in Note 2 of the “Notes To Financial Statements” in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2021.

Cost of sales for the three months ended August 31, 2021 increased to $2,010,000 from $1,978,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, due to improved productivity. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 48% for the three months ended August 31, 2021 from 64% for the three months ended August 31, 2020.
Gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 2021 increased to $2,220,000 from $1,125,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2020, due primarily to increased net sales. Accordingly, gross margins increased to 52% for the three months ended August 31, 2021 as compared to 36% for the three months ended August 31, 2020.
For the three months ended August 31, 2021, we shipped 27,094 units as compared to 23,343 units shipped during the same period of the prior year. It should be noted that since we manufacture a wide variety of products with an average sales price ranging from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, such periodic variations in our volume of units shipped should not be regarded as a reliable indicator of our performance.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $659,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2021 from $526,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due to increased professional fees, legal fees, bonus accrual, and selling commissions.

Net income for the three months ended August 31, 2021 increased to $2,450,000 as compared to $635,000 for the three months ended August 31, 2020. This increase is due primarily to increased net sales, decreased cost of sales as a percentage of revenue as described above, and other income including PPP loan forgiveness and scrap income as described above.
Results of Operations-Six Months Ended August 31, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended August 31, 2020:
Net sales for the six months ended August 31, 2021 increased 40% to $7,840,000 as compared to $5,601,000 for the six months ended August 31, 2020.

We expect our sole source of liquidity over the next twelve months to be cash from operations and cash and cash equivalents, if necessary. We anticipate that our capital expenditures required to sustain operations and complete the renovations to our new facility will be approximately $1,000,000 during the next twelve months and will be funded from operations and cash and cash equivalents, if necessary.
At August 31, 2021, February 28, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4,482,000, $3,785,000, and $2,819,000, respectively. The increase for the six months ended August 31, 2021 was primarily due to income from operations.
At August 31, 2021, February 28, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had investments in marketable securities of approximately $334,000, $248,000, and $193,000, respectively.
At August 31, 2021, February 28, 2021, and August 31, 2020, we had working capital of $8,096,000, $7,049,000, and $6,526,000, respectively. The increase for the six months ended August 31, 2021 was due primarily to income from operations.
Based on various factors, including the Company’s desire to fully utilize its current net operating loss carryforwards, the Company may seek out acquisitions, additional product lines, and/or invest a portion of its cash into common stocks or higher yielding debt instruments. The Company will continue to consider additional share repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program subject to market conditions, corporate liquidity requirements and priorities and other factors as may be considered in the Company’s sole discretion.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet arrangements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding our business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2021, including those identified below. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
Some of the factors that may impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects include:
| · | Loss of, or reduction of business from, substantial clients could hurt our business by reducing our revenues, profitability and cash flow. |
| · | Our complex manufacturing processes may lower yields and reduce our revenues. |
| · | Our business could be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to obtain qualified supplies of raw materials, parts and finished components on a timely basis and at a cost-effective price. |
| · | We are dependent on government contracts, which are subject to termination, price renegotiations and regulatory compliance, which can increase the cost of doing business and negatively impact our revenues. |
| · | Changes in government policy or economic conditions could negatively impact our results. |
| · | Our inventories may become obsolete and other assets may be subject to risks. |
| · | Environmental regulations could require us to incur significant costs. |
| · | Our business is highly competitive and increased competition could reduce gross profit margins and the value of an investment in our Company. |
| · | Changes in Defense related programs and priorities could reduce the revenues and profitability of our business. |
| · | Our ability to complete facility upgrades and relocate to a new facility within the contemplated timeframe and budget. |
| · | Our operating results may decrease due to the decline of profitability in the semiconductor industry. |

| · | Uncertainty of current economic conditions, domestically and globally, could continue to affect demand for our products and negatively impact our business. |
| · | We may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
| · | Our inability to introduce new products could result in decreased revenues and loss of market share to competitors; new technologies could also reduce the demand for our products. |
| · | The nature of our products exposes us to potentially significant product liability risk. |
| · | We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could seriously harm our business. |
| · | Provisions in our charter documents could make it more difficult to acquire our Company and may reduce the market price of our stock. |
| · | Natural disasters, like hurricanes, or occurrences of other natural disasters whether in the United States or internationally may affect the markets in which our common stock trades, the markets in which we operate and our profitability. |
| · | Failure to protect our proprietary technologies or maintain the right to use certain technologies may negatively affect our ability to compete. |
| · | We cannot guarantee that we will have sufficient capital resources to make necessary investments in manufacturing technology and equipment. |
| · | We may make substantial investments in plant and equipment that may become impaired. |
| · | While we attempt to monitor the credit worthiness of our customers, we may be at risk due to the adverse financial condition of one or more customers. |
| · | Our international operations expose us to material risks, including risks under U.S. export laws. |
| · | Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise the integrity of our information and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer. |
| · | The price of our common stock has fluctuated widely in the past and may fluctuate widely in the future. |
| · | We cannot guarantee that we will declare future cash dividend payments, nor repurchase any shares of our common stock pursuant to our stock repurchase program. |
| · | Compliance with regulations regarding the use of “conflict minerals” could limit the supply and increase the cost of certain metals used in manufacturing our products. |
| · | Our failure to remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or our identification of any other material weaknesses in the future may adversely affect the accuracy and timing of our financial reporting. |
| · | The COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows and results of operations. |
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e), and 15d-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2021 due to the material weakness described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2021 under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”. However, giving full consideration to the material weakness and the remediation plan, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s financial statements included in this Quarterly Report fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended August 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Other than the changes referenced in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2021 under “Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting”, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended August 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
