NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations and Activities

Solitron Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Solitron”), designs, develops, manufactures, and markets solid-state semiconductor components and related devices primarily for the military and aerospace markets. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1959 and reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in August 1987.

 

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The unaudited condensed financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending February 28, 2017.

 

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2016.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market accounts.

 

Investment in Treasury Bills and Certificates of Deposit

Investment in treasury bills and certificates of deposit include treasury bills with maturities of one year or less, and is stated at market value.

 

All of the Company’s investments are classified as available-for-sale. As they are available for current operations, they are classified as current on the balance sheets. Investments in available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value with unrecognized gains or losses, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and is included as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The Company monitors its investments for impairment periodically and records appropriate reductions in carrying values when the declines are determined to be other-than-temporary.

 

As of November 30, 2016, the Company’s available for sale non-equity investments were comprised of certificates of deposits.

 

As of November 30, 2016, contractual maturities of the Company’s available-for-sale non-equity investments were as follows:

 

   Face Value   Fair Value 
   (In thousands)   (In thousands) 
Maturing within one year  $1,992   $1,993 

 

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:

 

 4 

 

 

SOLITRON DEVICES, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 brokered Treasury bills and certificates of deposits 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 $2,000 as of November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016.

 

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 or market. 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 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’s inventory valuation policy is as follows:

 

Raw material /Work in process: All material purchased, processed, and/or used in the last two fiscal years is valued at the lower of its acquisition cost or market except for wafers which function under a three year policy. All material not used in the last two fiscal years is fully reserved.
   
Finished goods: All finished goods with firm orders for later delivery are valued (material and overhead) at the lower of cost or market. 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 amount 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.

 

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, Revenue Recognition. This pronouncement requires that four basic criteria be met before revenue can be recognized: 1) there is evidence that an arrangement exists; 2) delivery has occurred; 3) the fee is fixed or determinable; and 4) collectability is reasonably assured. We recognize revenue upon determination that all criteria for revenue recognition have been met. The criteria are usually met at the time of product shipment. Shipping terms are generally FCA (Free Carrier) shipping point.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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.

 

2. ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

 

While the Company believes that it has the environmental permits necessary to conduct its business and that its operations conform to present environmental regulations, increased public attention has been focused on the environmental impact of semiconductor manufacturing operations. The Company, in the conduct of its manufacturing operations, has handled and does handle materials that are considered hazardous, toxic or volatile under federal, state and local laws and, therefore, is subject to regulations related to their use, storage, discharge and disposal. No assurance can be made that the risk of accidental release of such materials can be completely eliminated. In the event of a violation of environmental laws, the Company could be held liable for damages and the costs of remediation. In addition, the Company, along with the rest of the semiconductor industry, is subject to variable interpretations and governmental priorities concerning environmental laws and regulations.

 

Environmental statutes have been interpreted to provide for joint and several liability and strict liability regardless of actual fault. There can be no assurance that the Company and its subsidiaries will not be required to incur costs to comply with, or that the operations, business or financial condition of the Company will not be materially adversely affected by current or future environmental laws or regulations.

 

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

The shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share were as follows:

 

   For the three months ended November 30,   For the nine months ended November 30, 
   2016   2015   2016   2015 
Weighted average common shares outstanding   1,901,950    2,290,779    2,075,288    2,249,759 
Dilutive effect of employee stock options   0    161,012    0    0 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution   1,901,950    2,451,791    2,075,288    2,249,759 

 

Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution, include the incremental shares that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of stock options.

5. INCOME TAXES

 

At November 30, 2016, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,016,000 that expire through February 2028. Such net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income, if any. As the utilization of such net operating losses for tax purposes is not assured, the deferred tax asset has been fully reserved through the recording of a 100% valuation allowance. Should a cumulative change in the ownership of more than 50% occur within a three-year period, there could be an annual limitation on the use of the net operating loss carryforwards.

 

Net operating losses after 1996 are subject to a twenty-year loss carryforward. Of the Company’s $10,016,000 of net operating loss carryforwards as of November 30, 2016, approximately $1,254,000 expire in 2021, $1,248,000 expire in 2022, and $7,514,000 expire in 2028.

11. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

 

On May 29, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $500,000 of the Company’s common stock through February 29, 2016.

On November 20, 2015, the Company purchased for $279,616 a total of 65,027 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the repurchase program. On January 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $1,000,000 of its outstanding common stock without an expiration date to the repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, repurchases may be made by the Company from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending on market conditions, stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other factors. The Company did not repurchase any outstanding common stock under the stock repurchase program in the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016. See Note 12 for shares and options repurchased from the former Chief Executive Officer that were not pursuant to the stock repurchase program.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS of operations

 

Solitron Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “Solitron”), designs, develops, manufactures and markets solid-state semiconductor components and related devices primarily for the military and aerospace markets. 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 29, 2016 and the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements and the related Notes to Unaudited Condensed 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 Treasury bills and Certificates of Deposit, revenue recognition, earnings per common share, shipping and handling, and inventories. A discussion of these critical accounting policies are included in Note 1 of the “Notes To Financial Statements” in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016.

 

Trends and Uncertainties:

During the three months ended November 30, 2016, the Company’s book-to-bill ratio was approximately 1.08 as compared to approximately 0.34 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, reflecting an increase in the volume of orders booked. In recent years, the Company has experienced seasonality in its bookings, with the fiscal fourth quarter experiencing the highest level of bookings. The Company expects bookings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 to exceed bookings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016, which were $4.4 million.

 

During the quarter, the Company was advised by one of its key customers that it was in the process of seeking out additional or alternative sources for some of the Company’s products with that customer. The Company is addressing the concerns of the customer, and subsequent to quarter end received a purchase order for the impacted products for fiscal year 2018, but it is uncertain if the Company will be successful in addressing the customer’s concerns over the long term.

 

Since the management change on July 22, 2016, the Company has been seeking out additional revenue sources, which may involve new products and/or products the Company has not manufactured in recent years. During the quarter, the Company received purchase orders in excess of $1.7 million from a new customer for products the company has not manufactured in recent years. The Company may incur difficulty manufacturing those products, which could result in decreased margins. Most of the products require testing over an extended duration which could result in a temporary increase in work in process and finished goods inventory until the testing is completed prior to shipment. The Company is restructuring operations to support processes for these and other potential new products.

 

Results of Operations-Three Months Ended November 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended November 30, 2015

Net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased 12% to $2,145,000 as compared to $1,919,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the value of orders that were shipped in accordance with customer requirements.

 

 11 

 

 

Cost of sales for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased to $1,671,000 from $1,549,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, due to higher raw materials associated with increased sales and an increase in inventory reserves, partially offset by lower labor costs. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 78% for the three months ended November 30, 2016 from 81% for the three months ended November 30, 2015.

 

Gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased to $474,000 from $370,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015, due primarily to higher net sales. Accordingly, gross margins on the Company’s net sales increased to 22% for the three months ended November 30, 2016 in comparison to 19% for the three months ended November 30, 2015.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2016, the Company shipped 15,375 units as compared to 23,823 units shipped during the same period of the prior year. It should be noted that since the Company manufactures a wide variety of products with an average sales price ranging from less than one dollar to several hundred dollars, such periodic variations in the Company’s volume of units shipped should not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the Company’s performance.

 

For the three months ended November 30, 2016, the Company’s backlog of open orders increased 40% to $4,650,000 as compared to the backlog of $3,324,000 as of November 30, 2015. Changes in backlog reflect changes in the intake of orders and in the delivery requirements of customers.

 

The Company experienced an increase of 255% to $2,310,000 in the level of bookings during the three months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to $651,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in bookings for the three months ended November 30, 2016 is principally a result of an increase in the placement of orders by key customers, resulting in an increase in the monetary value of, and timing differences in, the placement of contracts by the Department of Defense and its prime contractors.

 

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased to $323,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2016 from $351,000 for the same period in the prior year. The decrease reflects a credit related to the reversal of an over accrual from the prior quarter for $80,000 and a decrease in legal fees of $76,000 in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in selling wages, commissions, and travel expenses of $58,000 related to the Director of Sales position being vacant in the prior year period, and $39,000 in annual meeting expenses that were expensed in the November quarter versus the August quarter in the prior year due to the annual meeting occurring later in the calendar year. During the three months ended November 30, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased to 15% as compared to 18% for the three months ended November 30, 2015.

 

Operating income for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased 695% to $151,000 as compared to operating income of $19,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase is due primarily to higher net sales as described above.

 

Interest income for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased to $9,000 as compared to $6,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. The interest income is primarily driven by the rate of return on funds invested in certificates of deposit and treasury bills.

 

Other income for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased to $3,000 as compared to $0 for the three months ended November 30, 2015.

 

Net income for the three months ended November 30, 2016 increased 715% to $163,000 as compared to net income of $20,000 for the three months ended November 30, 2015. This increase is due primarily to an increase in net sales as described above.

 

Results of Operations-Nine Months Ended November 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended November 30, 2015:

Net sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 decreased 10% to $5,833,000 as compared to $6,514,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of units sold and the corresponding value of the orders that were shipped in accordance with customer requirements during the nine months ended November 30, 2016.

 

 12 

 

 

Cost of sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 decreased to $4,847,000 from $5,076,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015, mostly due to decreased raw materials and labor costs due to the reduction in net sales, and a shift in the mix of products manufactured. Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales increased to 83% for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 from 78% for the nine months ended November 30, 2015.

 

Gross profit for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 decreased to $986,000 from $1,438,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015, due primarily to the reduction in net sales. Accordingly, gross margins on the Company’s sales decreased to 17% for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 in comparison to 22% for the nine months ended November 30, 2015.

 

For the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company shipped 52,317 units as compared to 64,250 units shipped during the same period of the prior year. It should be noted that since the Company manufactures a wide variety of products with an average sales price ranging from less than one dollar to several hundred dollars, such periodic variations in the Company’s volume of units shipped should not be regarded as a reliable indicator of the Company’s performance.

 

For the nine months ended November 30, 2016, the Company’s backlog of open orders decreased 20% to $4,650,000 as compared to the backlog of open orders of $5,832,000 as of February 29, 2016. The Company’s backlog of $4,650,000 as of November 30, 2016 was 40% higher as compared to the backlog of open orders of $3,324,000 as of November 30, 2015. Changes in backlog resulted from changes in the intake of orders and in the delivery requirements of customers.

 

The Company has experienced an increase of 76% to $4,651,000 in the level of bookings during the nine months ended November 30, 2016 when compared to $2,648,000 during the nine months ended November 30, 2015. The increase occurred principally as a result of increases in the placement of orders by key customers, resulting in an increase in the monetary value of, and timing differences in, the placement of contracts by the Department of Defense and its prime contractors.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $2,508,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 from $1,573,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in costs was primarily due to costs associated with the separation agreement the Company entered into with its former CEO and certain proxy reimbursement expenses as reported in the Company’s 8-K filing on July 27, 2016. Costs related to the separation agreement included $627,000 of payments associated with the retirement of the former Chief Executive Officer, $22,000 of associated payroll taxes, $100,000 of legal fees, and $170,000 of proxy settlement costs. During the nine months ended November 30, 2016, selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 43% as compared to 24% for the nine months ended November 30, 2015.

 

Operating income for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 decreased 1,027% to an operating loss of $1,522,000 as compared to an operating loss of $135,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. This decrease is due primarily to higher selling, general and administrative expenses and the lower net sales as described above.

 

The Company recorded total other income of $32,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to total other income of $18,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. Included in other income for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 was $29,000 of interest income on investment in treasury bills and certificates of deposit, and $3,000 of other income. Included in total other income for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 was $18,000 of interest income on investment in treasury bills and certificates of deposit, and $0 of other income.

 

Net income for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 decreased to a net loss of $1,490,000 from a net loss of $122,000 for the same period in 2015. This decrease is due primarily to lower sales volume and an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

 

Operating Activities: 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,904,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 primarily reflecting a net loss of $1,490,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $856,000 offset by increases in accounts payable of $330,000 and depreciation and amortization of $145,000.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $482,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 primarily reflecting a net loss of $122,000 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $516,000 and inventory of $404,000 and by depreciation and amortization of $162,000 offset by a decrease in account payable of $235,000 and by accrued expenses and other liabilities of $228,000.

 

 13 

 

 

Investing Activities:

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,537,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 principally reflecting $4,748,000 in sales of treasury bills and certificates of deposit, $0 in purchases of treasury bills and certificates of deposit, and $211,000 in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

 

Net cash provided by investing activities was $336,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 principally reflecting $5,478,000 in sales of treasury bills and certificates of deposit, $4,992,000 in purchases of treasury bills and certificates of deposit, and $150,000 in purchases of property, plant and equipment.

 

Financing Activities:

Net cash used in financing activities was $2,137,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 reflecting payments for the repurchase of common stock and options associated with the retirement of the former Chief Executive Officer.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $843,000 for the nine months ended November 30, 2015 primarily reflecting a $575,000 dividend paid to stockholders and $279,000 paid to a stockholder in connection with a privately negotiated stock repurchase offset by $11,000 from stock option exercises by the Company’s employees.

 

Subject to the following discussion, the Company expects its liquidity over the next twelve months to come from cash generated from operations, cash on hand and cash invested in money market funds, Treasury bills and certificates of deposit. The Company anticipates that its capital expenditures required to sustain operations will be approximately $250,000 during the next twelve months and will be funded from operations and/or available cash.

 

Based upon management’s best information as to current national defense priorities, future defense programs, the shift to Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) by the defense industry, and the continued competition in the defense and aerospace market, the Company believes that it will have sufficient cash on hand and cash from operations to satisfy its operating needs over the next twelve months.

 

Over the long-term, based on these factors and at the current level of bookings, costs of raw materials and services, profit margins and sales levels, the Company believes that it will generate sufficient cash from operations to satisfy its operating needs over the next twelve months. In the event that bookings in the long-term decline significantly below the level experienced during the previous two fiscal years, the Company may be required to implement further cost-cutting or other downsizing measures to continue its business operations. Such cost-cutting measures could inhibit future growth prospects. In appropriate situations, the Company may seek strategic alliances, joint ventures with others or acquisitions in order to maximize marketing potential and utilization of existing resources and provide further opportunities for growth.

 

At November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016, the Company had cash on hand of approximately $1,130,000 and $634,000, respectively. The cash increase for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 was primarily due to the sale of treasury bills and certificates of deposit.

 

At November 30, 2016 and February 29, 2016, the Company had investments in treasury bills and certificates of deposit of approximately $1,993,000 and $6,740,000, respectively.

 

At November 30, 2016, the Company had working capital of $7,376,000 as compared with a working capital at February 29, 2016 of $11,068,000. The working capital decrease for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 was primarily due to cash used in operations and financing activities.

 

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.

 

Cash Dividend:

The Board of Directors of the Company did not declare a cash dividend during the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016. In July 2015, the Company paid a dividend of $0.25 per share to all stockholders of record at the close of business on June 29, 2015. The aggregate dividend payment was approximately $575,000.

Stock Repurchase Program:

On May 29, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $500,000 of its outstanding common stock from time to time through February 29, 2016. On July 28, 2015, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had expanded the stock repurchase program to cover repurchases of up to $1,000,000 of its outstanding common stock from time to time through February 29, 2016. On November 20, 2015, the Company purchased for $279,616 a total of 65,027 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the repurchase program. On January 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $1,000,000 of its outstanding common stock without an expiration date to the repurchase program. Under the repurchase program, repurchases may be made by the Company from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions depending on markets conditions, stock price, corporate and regulatory requirements, and other factors.

 

The Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program during the nine months ended November 30, 2016. See Note 12 of the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 2016 for shares and options repurchased from the former Chief Executive Officer that were not pursuant to the stock repurchase program.

 

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," as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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 29, 2016, 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 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.
   
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.
   
Downturns in the business cycle could reduce the revenues and profitability of our business.
   
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.
   
Cost reduction efforts may be unsuccessful or insufficient to improve our profitability and may adversely impact productivity.
   
We may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
   
A shortage of three-inch silicon wafers could result in lost revenues due to an inability to build our products.

 

 15 

 

 

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 and rights agreement 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 promise 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 at historic rates or at all, 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.

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, 2016 due to the material weakness described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2016 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 months ended November 30, 2016.

 

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 29, 2016 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 third quarter ended November 30, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
