NARRATIVE

 

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

Solitron Devices, Inc. (the "Company") experienced unexpected delays in the preparation and review of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 due to the ongoing review and analytical procedures being conducted by the Company and the Company's auditor with respect to the valuation of inventory. As a result, the Company is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K in a timely manner without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company continues to work with the goal of filing the Form 10-K within the fifteen day extension period provided by Securities Exchange Act Rule 12b-25; however, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to file its Form 10-K within such time period.

 

PART IV

OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

  TIM ERIKSEN   (561)   848-4311
  (Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s).

 

☒   Yes             ☐   No

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

 

☒   Yes             ☐   No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
   
  The Company expects to report fiscal 2017 sales of approximately $7.4 million versus $8.4 million in the prior year, with a net loss in the range of $1.8 million to $3.0 million, owing to increased reserves for inventory and expenses related to the separation agreement with its prior CEO in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. Backlog at the end of fiscal 2017 increased to approximately $8.4 million versus approximately $5.8 million at the end of fiscal 2016. The Company expects fiscal 2017 yearend inventory to be approximately $2.7 million, net of reserves. The increased reserve cannot be expensed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 due to management’s belief that there was no specific event in the quarter that caused the change in estimates, and an inability to affirm that the fiscal 2016 year-end inventory included an analysis for excess and obsolescence and estimated wafer yield loss. The Company is unable to quantify a reasonable estimate of the financial results at this time due to the ongoing review and analytical procedures being conducted by the Company and the Company's auditor with respect to the valuation of inventory.
   
  The information provided above are forward-looking statements and are based on the Company’s anticipated changes from the prior year period. Although the Company believes these statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that these statements will prove correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include any uncertainties encountered by the Company or any necessary changes that may result in connection with completing the review and preparation of the financial statements and related disclosures contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2017. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those indicated.
