Table of Contents

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.

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 $0 as of November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021.

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.

Finished goods:	All finished goods with firm orders for later delivery are valued (material and overhead) at the lower of cost or net realizable value. All finished goods with no orders are fully reserved.

Direct labor costs:	Direct labor costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory based on engineering estimates of the number of man-hours required from the different direct labor departments to bring each device to its particular level of completion. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory as a ratio to direct labor costs.

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.

Finished goods:	All finished goods with firm orders for later delivery are valued (material and overhead) at the lower of cost or net realizable value. All finished goods with no orders are fully reserved.

Direct labor costs:	Direct labor costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory based on engineering estimates of the number of man-hours required from the different direct labor departments to bring each device to its particular level of completion. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory as a ratio to direct labor costs.

Raw material /Work in process:

Direct labor costs:

Direct labor costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory based on engineering estimates of the number of man-hours required from the different direct labor departments to bring each device to its particular level of completion. Manufacturing overhead costs are allocated to finished goods and work in process inventory as a ratio to direct labor costs.

Table of Contents

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:

Building	39 years
Leasehold Improvements	10 years
Machinery and Equipment	5 years

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 November 30, 2021, all non-interest bearing checking accounts were FDIC insured to a limit of $250,000. Deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits were approximately $4,340,000 at November 30, 2021, as compared to $2,518,000 at November 30, 2020. With respect to the account receivables, most of the Company’s products are custom made pursuant to contracts with customers whose end-products are sold to the United States Government. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Actual losses and allowances have historically been within management’s expectations.

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 2020 and 2021; 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.

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 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

The Company currently purchases and has purchased in the past die and wafers, as specified by the Company's customers, from ES Components. 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 nine months ended November 30, 2021, the Company purchased $94,215of die from ES Components. For the nine months ended November 30, 2020, the Company purchased $66,045of die from ES Components. The Company has included these expenses in cost of goods sold in the accompanying statement of operations. The Company occasionally makes sales to ES Components. For the nine months ended November 30, 2021 and November 30, 2020, sales were $0.

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 nine month periods ended November 30, 2021 or November 30, 2020.

Financial Statement Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.

As noted in Note 2 above, one of our distributor agreements has a termination clause that would allow for a full credit for all inventory upon 60 days' notice of terminating the agreement. As of November 30, 2021 and February 28, 2021, the inventory balance at that distributor was approximately $2,193,000 and $1,854,000, respectively. Based upon sales levels to and by the distributor during the period, inventory levels at the distributors, current and projected market conditions, and historical experience under the programs, we believe it is highly unlikely that the distributor would exercise termination. Should termination occur, we believe the products could be sold to other distributors or held in inventory for future sale.

The Company warrants that its products, when delivered, will be free from defects in material workmanship under normal use and service. The obligations are limited to replacing, repairing, or reimbursing for, at the option of the Company, any products that are returned within one year after the date of shipment. The Company does not reserve for potential warranty costs based on historical experience and the nature of its cost tracking system.

Wafer production was temporarily curtailed during fiscal 2020 due to implementation of an improvement plan, which was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. As of November 30, 2021, 100% of the wafer bank inventory consisted of wafers manufactured between calendar year 2018 and 2021.

Finance lease:

During fiscal 2021, the Company entered into a 36-month finance lease for $27,000 of computer equipment. The Company does not consider the lease to be material to the Company’s financial statements.

The property subsequently was sold to La Boheme Properties, Inc., a Florida corporation, which is the current landlord as the Lease was assigned to them. The term of the Lease was scheduled to end on December 31, 2021. The base rent provided in the Lease is $31,555 per month, excluding sales tax.

9. NOTES PAYABLE

On July 21, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds of $807,415 under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). The Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP Loan to the Company was made through Bank of America, N.A., a national banking association. The PPP Loan was scheduled to mature on July 21, 2025 and bore interest at a rate of 1% per annum. Payments of principal and interest on the loan were initially deferred until January 1, 2021 and based on applying for forgiveness the deferral was extended through October 31, 2021. The PPP Loan could have been prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Funds from the PPP Loan may only be used for payroll costs, costs used to continue group health care benefits, mortgage payments, rent, utilities, and interest on certain other debt obligations. The Company used the entire PPP Loan amount for qualifying expenses. Under the terms of the PPP, certain amounts of the PPP Loan may be forgiven if they are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act. On June 12, 2021 the SBA notified Bank of America that the Company’s application for complete forgiveness of its PPP loan was approved. Gain on PPP loan forgiveness for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 includes the forgiveness of the loan and accrued interest.

Beginning on May 15, 2021 the Company began making monthly installments of $17,593 consisting of principal and interest. The payment and performance of the loan is secured by a security interest in the property acquired. The Master Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties, undertakings and events of default customary for these types of agreements. Additionally, under the terms of the Financial Covenant Agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15:1.0, calculated at the end of each fiscal year, using the results of the twelve-month period ending with that reporting period, and has agreed to maintain on a consolidated basis a minimum of unrestricted, unencumbered liquid assets of no less than $1,000,000.

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 marketable 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,450,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 primarily reflecting net income of $3,967,000, an increase in accrued expenses and other current and non-current liabilities of $283,000, a decrease in inventories of $204,000 and depreciation and amortization of $193,000, partially offset by PPP loan forgiveness of $812,000, an increase in other assets of $184,000, an increase in accounts receivable of $139,000 and prepaid and other expenses of $63,000.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,427,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 primarily reflecting net income of $977,000, an increase in accrued expenses of $297,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $213,000, and depreciation of $179,000, partially offset by increases in inventories of $183,000 and prepaid and other expenses of $72,000.

Financing Activities:

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,883,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 principally reflecting $2,940,000 in proceeds from our mortgage loan, partially offset by $57,000 in principal payments on the mortgage loan.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $801,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 principally reflecting proceeds of the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loan.

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 $1,500,000 during the next twelve months and will be funded from operations and cash and cash equivalents, if necessary. We anticipate that once we have completed our relocation to our new facility and headquarters we will realize annual, aggregate cost savings of approximately $1.0 million, consisting of the elimination of the $40,000 monthly rent, reduced costs for gases and utilities due to the smaller footprint of the new facility and headquarters, the Company’s decision to not relocate and operate the Company’s wafer fab at the new facility and headquarters, payroll savings and insurance cost savings.

At November 30, 2021, February 28, 2021, and November 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $5,247,000, $3,785,000, and $3,453,000, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was primarily due to income from operations and scrap income.

At November 30, 2021, February 28, 2021, and November 30, 2020, we had investments in securities of approximately $435,000, $248,000, and $267,000, respectively.

At November 30, 2021, February 28, 2021, and November 30, 2020, we had working capital of $8,593,000, $7,049,000, and $6,589,000, respectively. The increase for the nine months ended November 30, 2021 was due primarily to income from operations and scrap income.

Based on various factors, including the Company’s desire to fully utilize its current net operating loss carryforwards, the Company may explore certain transactions or actions, including acquisitions, additional product lines, and/or investing 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 in light of market conditions and the Company's liquidity needs and capital commitments.

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.

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 November 30, 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 nine months ended November 30, 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 November 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
