Note 1-

INTERIM RESULTS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015 and for the three months then ended have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three months ended June 24, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at March 25, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes, however, that the disclosures in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading in any material respect. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of IEH Corporation for the fiscal year ended March 25, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC and the attached Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Note 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)

 

Description of Business: (continued)

 

The customers of the Company services are in the following markets: Government, Military, Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, Industrial, Test Equipment and Commercial Electronics. The Company appears on the Military Qualified Product Listing “QPL” to MIL-DTL-55302 and supply customer requested modifications to this specification. Sales to the Commercial Electronic and Military markets were 39% and 53%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales for the year ended March 25, 2016. The Company’s offering of “QPL” items has recently been expanded to include additional products.

 

In order to remain competitive, the Company has an internal program to upgrade, add and maintain machinery, review material costs and increase labor force productivity. We recently purchased several machines to increase the productivity of certain processes. This will help us meet this goal.

 

Business New Product Development:

 

The Company is sought after by many of its customers to design and manufacture custom connectors. This has created many new products that are innovative designs and employ new technologies. The Company continues to be successful because of its ability to assist its customers and create a new design, including engineering drawing packages, in a relatively short period of time. We will continue to support our customers to the best of our ability.

 

The circular product line of connectors introduced several years ago for the medical industry continues to be very rewarding for the Company. The line has been expanded to include connector cable assemblies utilizing the circular connectors.

 

A new product line featuring high density connectors is being added to the Company’s product offering. This offering should be available within the next few months. The Company expects the new product line to bring additional revenue.

 

The standard printed circuit board connectors we produce are continually being expanded and utilized in many of the military programs being built today. We have recently received approval for additional products that we can offer under the Military Qualified Product Listing “QPL.”

 

Accounting Period:

 

The Company maintains an accounting period based upon a 52-53 week year, which ends on the nearest Friday in business days to March 31. The year ended March 25, 2016 was comprised of 52 weeks. The current fiscal year, ending on March 31, 2017, will be comprised of 53 weeks.

Note 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)

 

Revenue Recognition:

 

Revenues are recognized at the shipping date of the Company's products. The Company has historically adopted the shipping terms that title to merchandise passes to the customer at the shipping point (FOB Shipping Point). At this juncture, title has passed, the Company has recognized the sale, inventory has been relieved, and the customer has been invoiced. The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives.

 

The Company’s policy with respect to customer returns and allowances as well as product warranty is as follows:

 

The Company will accept a return of defective product within one year from shipment for repair or replacement at the Company’s option. If the product is repairable, the Company at its own cost, will repair and return it to the customer. If unrepairable, the Company will either offer an allowance against payment or will reimburse the customer for the total cost of product.

 

Most of the Company’s products are custom ordered by customers for a specific use. The Company provides engineering services as part of the relationship with its customers in developing the custom product. The Company is not obligated to provide such engineering service to its customers. The Company does not invoice its customers separately for these services.

 

Inventories:

 

Inventories are stated at cost, on a first-in, first-out basis which does not exceed market value.

 

The Company manufactures products pursuant to specific technical and contractual requirements.

 

The Company historically purchases material in excess of its requirements to avail itself of favorable pricing as well as the possibility of receiving additional orders from customers. This excess may result in material not being used in subsequent periods, which may result in this material being deemed obsolete.

 

The Company annually reviews its purchase and usage activity of its inventory of parts as well as work in process and finished goods to determine which items of inventory have become obsolete within the framework of current and anticipated orders. The Company based upon historical experience has determined that if a part has not been used and purchased or an item of finished goods has not been sold in three years, it is deemed to be obsolete. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost. A periodic adjustment, based upon historical experience, is made to inventory in recognition of this impairment.

Note 2-

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)

 

Concentration of Credit Risk:

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

 

Under the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was signed into law on July 21, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will permanently insure all accounts maintained with each financial institution up to $250,000 in the aggregate.

 

As of June 24, 2016, the Company had funds on deposit in the amount of $1,339,626 in one financial institution comprised of the following:

 

Non-interest bearing accounts		$	201,617
Interest bearing account			1,138,009
		$	1,339,626

 

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes its cash balances are not exposed to any significant risk.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment:

 

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the Double Declining Balance method over the estimated useful lives (5-7 years) of the related assets.

 

Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Items of property, plant and equipment, which are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation or amortization accounts. Any gain or loss thereon is either credited or charged to operations.

 

Income Taxes:

 

The Company follows the policy of treating investment tax credits as a reduction in the provision for federal income tax in the year in which the credit arises or may be utilized. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from different depreciation methods used for financial and income tax purposes. The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which includes the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (continued)

  

Net Income Per Share:

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the disclosure of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to reflect the dilutive effect of potential common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock or warrants, as if they had been issued. For the three months ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015, respectively, there were no items of potential dilution that would impact on the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity (three months) of these instruments.

  

Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic, 360, Property, Plant and Equipment-Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144. There were no long-lived asset impairments recognized by the Company for the three months ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015, respectively.

Reporting Comprehensive Income:

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic, 220, Comprehensive Income which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income.” This Statement established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in an entity’s financial statements. This Statement requires an entity to classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of balance sheet. There were no material items of comprehensive income to report for the three months ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015, respectively.

 

Segment Information:

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic, 280, Segment Reporting which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segment of An Enterprise and Related Information.” This Statement requires public enterprises to report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments and establishes standards for related disclosures about product and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The adoption of ASC Topic 280 did not affect the Company’s presentation of its results of operations or financial position.

 

Research and Development:

 

The Company provides personalized engineering services to its customers by designing connectors for specific customer applications. The employment of electromechanical engineers is the anticipated cornerstone of the Company’s future growth. The Company maintains a testing laboratory where its engineers experiment with new connector designs based on changes in technology and in an attempt to create innovative, more efficient connector designs.

 

The Company did not expend any funds on nor receive any revenues related to customer sponsored research and development activities relating to the development of new designs, techniques and the improvement of existing design during the three months ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued certain accounting standards updates as of June 24, 2016 that will become effective in subsequent periods. The Company believes that none of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during the months ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements at the time that they become effective.

 

Note 3-

INVENTORIES:

 

Inventories are stated at cost, on a first-in, first-out basis, which does not exceed market value.

 

The Company manufactures products pursuant to specific technical and contractual requirements. The Company historically purchases material in excess of its requirements to avail itself of favorable pricing as well as the possibility of receiving additional orders from customers. This excess may result in material not being used in subsequent periods, which may result in this material being deemed obsolete.

 

The Company annually reviews its purchase and usage activity of its inventory of parts as well as work in process and finished goods to determine which items of inventory have become obsolete within the framework of current and anticipated orders. The Company based upon historical experience has determined that if a part has not been used and purchased or an item of finished goods has not been sold in three years, it is deemed to be obsolete.

The financing agreement has an initial term of one year and will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless terminated by the Company or the Factor upon receiving 60 days prior notice. Funds advanced by the Factor are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Statements contained in this report which are not statements of historical facts may be considered forward-looking information with respect to plans, projections, or future performance of the Company as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “objective”, and “think” or similar expressions used herein are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current views and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that include, among other things, the effects of the Company’s business, actions of competitors, changes in laws and regulations, including accounting standards, employee relations, customer demand, prices of purchased raw material and parts, domestic economic conditions, including housing starts and changes in consumer disposable income, and foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations. Some or all of the facts are beyond the Company’s control.

 

Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this quarterly report which provide additional information concerning the Company’s financial activities and condition.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies, which could have the most significant effect on the Company's reported results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company makes estimates of its future cash flows related to assets subject to impairment review.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (continued)

 

Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Inventory Valuation:

Raw materials and supplies are stated at cost on first-in, first-out basis, which does not exceed market value. Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of actual cost, determined on a specific identification basis, or market. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost, and adjusts their inventory value accordingly. Future periods could include either income or expense items if estimates change and for differences between the estimated and actual amount realized from the sale of inventory.

 

Income Taxes:

The Company records a liability for potential tax assessments based on its estimate of the potential exposure. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may differ from estimates. Income tax expense in future periods could be adjusted for the difference between actual payments and the Company's recorded liability based on its assessments and estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition:

Revenues are recognized at the shipping date of the Company's products. The Company has historically adopted the shipping terms that title merchandise passes to the customer at the shipping point (FOB Shipping Point). At this juncture, title has passed, the Company has recognized the sale, inventory has been relieved, and the customer has been invoiced. The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives.

 

The Company’s policy with respect to customer returns and allowances as well as product warranty is as follows:

 

The Company will accept a return of defective product within one year from shipment for repair or replacement at the Company’s option. If the product is repairable, the Company at its own cost will repair and return it to the customer. If unrepairable, the Company will either offer an allowance against payment or will reimburse the customer for the total cost of the product.

 

Most of the Company’s products are custom ordered by customers for a specific use. The Company provides engineering services as part of the relationship with its customers in developing the custom product. The Company is not obligated to provide such engineering service to its customers. The Company does not charge separately for these services.

 

Research & Development:

The Company provides personalized engineering services to its customers by designing connectors for specific customer applications. The employment of electromechanical engineers is the anticipated cornerstone of the Company’s future growth. The Company maintains a testing laboratory where its engineers experiment with new connector designs based on changes in technology and in an attempt to create innovative, more efficient connector designs.

Comparative Analysis-Three Months Ended June 24, 2016 and June 26, 2015 (continued)

 

Results of Operations (continued)

 

Operating revenues for the three months ended June 24, 2016 amounted to $4,459,637, reflecting a 13.8% decrease when compared to revenues of $5,174,895 for the three months ended June 26, 2015. Operating revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2015 were the highest reported quarterly revenues in the past five years.

 

The record quarterly revenues in the quarter ended June 26, 2015 were due to initial large production orders for new contracts with existing customers. We are awaiting follow-up orders in fiscal year 2016. In addition, operating revenues have been affected by a decrease in orders in fiscal year 2015 from oil and gas industry customers which stagnated in mid-to-late fiscal year 2015. Recently we have received new orders from these customers which will be reflected in subsequent fiscal quarters.

 

Operating revenues for the quarter ended June 24, 2016 reflected an increase of 0.53% over reported operating revenues for the quarter ended March 25, 2016.

 

Cost of products sold amounted to $2,833,996 for the three months ended June 24, 2016, or 63.6% of operating revenues. This reflected a $382,639 or 11.9% increase in the cost of products sold from $3,216,635 or 62.2% of operating revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2015. The decrease in cost of goods sold can be attributed to the corresponding decrease in revenues.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $906,517 or 20.3% of operating revenues for the three months ended June 24, 2016 compared to $677,823 or 13.1% of operating revenues for the three months ended June 26, 2015. This category of expense increased by $288,694 or 33.7% from the prior comparable three month period. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses due to was recurring and non-recurring factors. Recurring factors included an increase in additional sales management staff and new international distributor representation. Non-recurring factors included one-time expenses for new products launchers and due promotional expenses due to a company sponsored conference with all of its sales representatives in the current quarter. Sales conferences and participating in trade shows are expected to be biennial events in the future.

 

Interest expense was $11,512 for the three months ended June 24, 2016 or .3% of operating revenues. For the fiscal three months ended June 26, 2015, interest expense was $4,500 or .1% of operating revenues. Interest expenses increased by $7,012 or 155.8% over the comparable prior period. The increase can be attributed to increased advances from the Factor during the current quarter.

 

Depreciation and amortization of $85,800 or 1.9% of operating revenues was reported for the three months ended June 24, 2016 as compared to the three month period ended June 26, 2015, in which depreciation and amortization of $83,000 or 1.6% of operating revenues was reported.

 

The Company reported net income of $337,596 for the three months ended June 24, 2016 representing basic earnings of $.15 per share as compared to net income of $746,603 or $.32 per share for the three months ended June 26, 2015. The decrease in net income for the current three month period can be attributed primarily to the decrease in sales during the current quarter and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as compared to the quarter ending June 26, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company reported working capital of $11,846,782 as of June 24, 2016 compared to a working capital of $11,659,016 as of March 25, 2016. The increase in working capital of $187,766 was attributable to the following items:

 

Net income		$	337,596
Depreciation and amortization			85,800
Capital expenditures			(235,630	)
		$	187,766

 

As a result of the above, the current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 9.05 to 1 at June 24, 2016 as compared to 11.40 to 1 at March 25, 2016. Current liabilities at June 24, 2016 were $1,471,067 compared to $1,121,523 at March 25, 2016.

 

For the three months ended June 24, 2016, the Company reported $235,630 in capital expenditures and depreciation of $85,800.

 

The net income of $337,596 for the three months ended June 24, 2016 resulted in an increase in total stockholders’ equity to $13,918,164 as compared to total stockholders’ equity of $13,580,568 at March 25, 2016.

 

The Company has an accounts receivable financing agreement with a non-bank lending institution (“Factor”) whereby it can borrow up to 80 percent of its eligible receivables (as defined in the financing agreement) at an interest rate of 2.5% above JP Morgan Chase’s publicly announced prime rate with a minimum rate of 12% per annum.

 

The financing agreement has an initial term of one year and will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless terminated by the Company or its lender upon receiving 60 days prior notice.

 

Funds advanced by the Factor are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventories. At June 24, 2016, the Company reported a liability to the Factor of $291,849. The Company reported excess payment to the Factor of $186,114 at March 25, 2016. These excess payments are reported in the accompanying financial statements as “Excess payments to accounts receivable factor.”

 

In the past two fiscal years management has been reviewing its collection practices and policies for outstanding receivables and has revised its collection procedures to a more aggressive collection policy. As a consequence of this new policy the Company’s experience is that its customers have been remitting payments on a more consistent and timely basis. The Company reviews the collectability of all accounts receivable on a monthly basis. The reserve is less than 2% of average gross accounts receivable and is considered to be conservatively adequate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, are not required to provide this information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

 

We do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated with market sensitivity. For more information on these investments see Note 2 to our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We are not exposed to significant financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate using, any derivative financial instruments.

 

Interest Rate Risk

At any time, fluctuations in interest rates could affect interest earnings on our cash and marketable securities. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would not be material. Currently, we do not hedge these interest rate exposures. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

 

As of June 24, 2016, our unrestricted cash was $1,339,626 of which $1,138,009 was in an interest bearing money market account with and the balance of $201,617 was maintained in non-interest bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses.

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who is also our President) and its Chief Financial Officer (who is also our controller and principal accounting officer) have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Report that it files or submit under the Exchange Act is, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In connection with their review and assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company has retained the services of an outside consultant to further assist management in its annual evaluation of such controls and procedures. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 24, 2016 that have been materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not a party to or aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, would result in any material adverse effect on its results of operations or its financial condition.

 

Item 1a. Risk Factors

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of following risk factors and the other information included in this report, in considering our business herein as well as the information included in other reports and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the matters or events described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Failure to increase our revenue and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

 

We have generated net income of $1,690,110, $1,809,555, and $1,453,707, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 25, 2016, March 27, 2015, and March 28, 2014 and $337,596 for the quarter ended June 24, 2016. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue product development projects, enhance our marketing and sales efforts and to effectively maintain business operations. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period.

 

Our capital requirements are significant and we have historically partially funded our operations through the financing of our accounts receivable.

 

We have an existing accounts receivable financing agreement with a non-lending institution (“Factor”) whereby we can borrow up to 80 percent of our eligible receivables at an interest rate of 2.5% above JP Morgan Chase’s publicly announced prime rate. No assurances can be given that this financing agreement will continue into the future. If we are unable to continue with this agreement, our cash flow might adversely be affected.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

 

Our success is dependent on the performance of our management and the cooperation, performance and retention of our executive officers and key employees.

 

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our senior management team and executive officers. If our management team is unable to perform it may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. The loss of one or several key employees could seriously harm our business. Any reorganization or reduction in the size of our employee base could harm our ability to attract and retain other valuable employees critical to the success of our business.

 

If we lose key personnel or fail to integrate replacement personnel successfully, our ability to manage our business could be impaired.

 

Our future success depends upon the continued service of our key management, technical, sales, finance, and other critical personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. Key personnel have left our Company in the past and there likely will be additional departures of key personnel from time to time in the future. The loss of any key employee could result in significant disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of Company initiatives, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and the results of our operations. In addition, hiring, training, and successfully integrating replacement sales and other personnel could be time consuming, may cause additional disruptions to our operations, and may be unsuccessful, which could negatively impact future revenues.

 

Our reported financial results could be adversely affected by changes in financial accounting standards or by the application of existing or future accounting standards to our business as it evolves.

 

As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the review of accounting policies by the SEC and national and international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of accounting policy changes may accelerate. Possible future changes to accounting standards, could adversely affect our reported results of operations.

  

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

Our stock price is volatile and could decline; we have a very limited trading market.

 

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, our stock price during the fiscal year ended March 25, 2016 traded as low as $2.76 per share and as high as $5.99 per share. During the three month period ended June 24, 2016, our common stock traded in the range of $5.83 per share to $7.30 per share. We cannot assure you that your initial investment in our common stock will not decline.
