NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
1.
THE COMPANY AND
OPERATIONS
Solitron
Devices, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Solitron,” the
“Company,” “we,” “us,” or
“our”), 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.

SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The
unaudited 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 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
three and nine months ended November 30, 2020 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
February 28, 2021.
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, 2020.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash
and cash equivalents include demand deposits and money market
accounts.
Investment in Securities
Investment
in securities includes investments in common stocks and bonds.
Investments in securities are reported at fair value with changes
in unrecognized gains or losses included in other income on the
income statement.

At
November 30, 2020 and February 29,
2020, the deferred tax liability related to unrecognized
gains and losses on short-term investments was $0.
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:
6
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, 2020 and February 29, 2020.
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
m 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.
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:
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, 2020,
all non-interest bearing checking accounts were FDIC insured to a
limit of $250,000. Deposits in excess of FDIC insured limits were
approximately $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.
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.
8
3. Determine the transaction price.
The transaction price reflects the Company’s expectations
about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from the
customer at a fixed price per unit shipped based on the terms of
the contract or purchase order with the
customer. To the extent
our actual costs vary from the fixed price that was negotiated, we
will generate more or less profit or could incur a
loss.
4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in
the contract.
5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a
performance obligation.
This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the
product is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment
or delivery. The Company receives purchase orders for products to
be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across reporting
periods. The Company’s
accounting policy treats shipping and handling activities as a
fulfillment cost. The
Company invoices for each delivery upon shipment and recognizes
revenues at the fixed price for each distinct product delivered
when transfer of control has occurred, which is generally upon
shipment.
In addition, the Company may have a contract or purchase order to
provide a non-recurring engineering service to a customer. These
contracts are reviewed, performance obligations are determined and
we recognize revenue at
the point in time in which each performance obligation is fully
satisfied.
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606. Since all open
contracts at that time were based on a point-in-time recognition
model for revenue, there was no impact to retained earnings or
revenue. The future impact of Topic 606 is dependent on the mix and
nature of specific customer contracts.
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 Mr. Aubrey is the majority
owner of ES Components. For the nine months ended November 30,
2020, the Company purchased $66,045 of die from ES Components. For
the nine months ended November 30, 2019, the Company purchased
$33,568 of 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, 2020 and November 30, 2019,
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,
2020 or November 30, 2019.
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.

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, 2020, and February
29, 2020, the inventory balance at that distributor was believed to
be $1,693,000 and $1,387,000, 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.

$1,262,000 as of November 30, 2020 and $1,239,000 as of February
29, 2020. 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,
2020, 100% of the wafer bank inventory consisted of wafers
manufactured between calendar year 2016 and 2021. We do not expect
all of our wafer inventory to be consumed within twelve months;
however, since it is not possible to know which wafers will or will
not be used, we classify all our inventory as current.

NOTES
PAYABLE
On July 22, 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 is being made through Bank of America, N.A., a national
banking association. The PPP Loan matures on July 21, 2025 and
bears interest at a rate of 1% per annum. Payments of principal and
interest on the loan will be deferred through October 31, 2021. The
Note may be 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 intends to use 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.

EQUITY
Repurchase
Program
The
Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program of up
to $1.0 million of its outstanding common stock. Purchases under
the program may be made through the open market or privately
negotiated transactions as determined by the Company’s
management, and in accordance with the requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The timing and actual number of
shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including
price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other
conditions.
The
Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase
program during the three months ending November 30, 2020, and
repurchased 2,493 shares during the nine months ended November 30,
2020, at a total cost of $5,734, or $2.30 per share.
Stock
Compensation
On
November 13, 2020, the Company granted Mr. Eriksen and Mr. Matson

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, 2020 and
the Unaudited Financial Statements and the related Notes to
Unaudited Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon the unaudited condensed financial
statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. Preparing financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue,
and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by
management’s application of accounting policies. Our critical
accounting policies include cash and cash equivalents, investment
in securities, revenue recognition, earnings per common share,
shipping and handling, and inventories. A discussion of these
critical accounting policies are included in Note 2 of the
“Notes To Financial Statements” in Item 8 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 29,
2020.
Results of Operations-Three Months Ended November 30, 2020 Compared
to Three Months Ended November 30, 2019:
Net
sales for the three months ended November 30, 2020 increased 2% to
$2,312,000 as compared to $2,263,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 2019.
Net
bookings for the three months ended November 30, 2020 decreased 63%
to $1,285,000 versus $3,506,000 during the three months ended
November 30, 2019. Backlog as of November 30, 2020 decreased 45% to
$4,401,000 as compared to a backlog of $8,061,000 as of November
30, 2019.
Cost of
sales for the three months ended November 30, 2020 decreased to
$1,799,000 from $1,802,000 for the three months ended November 30,
2019, due to decreased labor costs and improved productivity.
Expressed as a percentage of net sales, cost of sales decreased to
78% for the three months ended November 30, 2020 from 80% for the
three months ended November 30, 2019.
Gross
profit for the three months ended November 30, 2020 increased to
$513,000 from $461,000 for the three months ended November 30,
2019, due primarily to increased net sales. Accordingly, gross
margins increased to 22% for the three months ended November 30,
2020 as compared to 20% for the three months ended November 30,
2019.
For the
three months ended November 30, 2020, we shipped 10,259 units as
compared to 20,021 units shipped during the same period of the
prior year. It should be noted that since we manufacture a wide
variety of products with an average sales price ranging from a few
dollars to several hundred dollars, such periodic variations in our
volume of units shipped should not be regarded as a reliable
indicator of our performance.

general, and administrative expenses increased to
$575,000 for the three
months ended November 30, 2020 from $422,000 for the same period in
the prior year. The increase was due to bonus expense and increased
professional fees. During the three months ended November 30, 2020,
selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
sales increased to 25% as compared to 19% for the three months
ended November 30, 2019.

Operating
income (loss) for the three months ended November 30, 2020
decreased to ($62,000) as
compared to operating income of $39,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 2019. This decrease is due primarily to increased
selling, general and administrative expense.
Interest

decreased to ($27,000) as
compared to net income of $38,000 for the three months ended
November 30, 2019. This decrease is due primarily to increased

above.
Results of Operations-Nine Months Ended November 30, 2020 Compared
to Nine Months Ended November 30, 2019:
Net
sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 increased 9% to
$7,913,000 as compared to $7,240,000 for the nine months ended
November 30, 2019.
Net
bookings for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 decreased 52%

$4,401,000 as compared to a backlog of $8,061,000 as of November

Cost of
sales for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 decreased to
$5,419,000 from $6,126,000 for the nine months ended November 30,
2019, due to decreased inventory obsolescence, raw materials and
labor costs, and improved productivity. Expressed as a percentage
of net sales, cost of sales decreased to 68% for the nine months
ended November 30, 2020 from 85% for the nine months ended November
30, 2019.
Gross
profit for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 increased to
$2,494,000 from $1,114,000 for the nine months ended November 30,
2019, due primarily to increased net sales and lower cost of sales.
Accordingly, gross margins increased to 32% for the nine months
ended November 30, 2020 as compared to 15% for the nine months
ended November 30, 2019.
For the
nine months ended November 30, 2020, we shipped 58,770 units as
compared to 55,168 units shipped during the same period of the
prior year. It should be noted that since we manufacture a wide
variety of products with an average sales price ranging from a few
dollars to several hundred dollars, such periodic variations in our
volume of units shipped should not be regarded as a reliable
indicator of our performance.
Selling,
general, and administrative expenses decreased to
$1,587,000 for the nine
months ended November 30, 2020 from $1,645,000 for the same period
in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased

$907,000 as compared to an
operating loss of ($531,000) for the nine months ended November 30,
2019. This increase is due primarily to increased net sales and
lower cost of sales described above.
Interest
and dividend income for the nine months ended November 30, 2020
increased to $7,000 as compared to $3,000 for the nine months ended
November 30, 2019. Realized gains on investments for the nine

income for the nine months ended November 30, 2020 increased to
$977,000 as compared to a
net loss of ($531,000) for the nine months ended November 30, 2019.

ended November 30, 2020 was primarily due to income from operations
and the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loan.

$69,000, respectively.
At
November 30, 2020, February 29, 2020, and November 30, 2019, we had

utilize its current net operating loss carryforwards, the Company
may seek out acquisitions, additional product lines, and/or invest
a portion of its cash into common stocks or higher yielding debt
instruments. The Company will continue to consider additional
share repurchases under the Company's stock repurchase program
subject to market conditions, corporate liquidity requirements and
priorities and other factors as may be considered in the
Company’s sole discretion.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements:
The
Company has not engaged in any off-balance sheet
arrangements.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of
the statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are
“forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking
statements include statements regarding our business, financial
condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You
can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these
statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters.
Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or
expected events, activities, trends or results. Because
forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet
occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and
uncertainties. Many factors could cause our actual activities or
results to differ materially from the activities and results
anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include
those described under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020, including
those identified below. We do not undertake any obligation to
update forward-looking statements, except as required by
law.
16
Some of
the factors that may impact our business, financial condition,
results of operations, strategies or prospects
include:
●
Loss of, or
reduction of business from, substantial clients could hurt our
business by reducing our revenues, profitability and cash
flow.
●
Our complex
manufacturing processes may lower yields and reduce our
revenues.
●
Our business could
be materially and adversely affected if we are unable to obtain
qualified supplies of raw materials, parts and finished components
on a timely basis and at a cost-effective price.
●
We are dependent on
government contracts, which are subject to termination, price
renegotiations and regulatory compliance, which can increase the
cost of doing business and negatively impact our
revenues.
●
Changes in
government policy or economic conditions could negatively impact
our results.
●
Our inventories may
become obsolete and other assets may be subject to
risks.
●
Environmental
regulations could require us to incur significant
costs.

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

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
This
item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller
reporting company.
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, 2020 due to the material weakness described in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
February 29, 2020 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, 2020.
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, 2020 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, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
