NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

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.

The following table summarizes available-for-sale investments (in $000’s):

November 30, 2020		Gross	Gross
Marketable Securities:	Cost	Unrealized Gains	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value
Common Stocks	232	45	(10)	267

February 29, 2020		Gross	Gross
Marketable Securities:	Cost	Unrealized Gains	Unrealized Losses	Fair Value
Common Stocks	155	16	(7)	164

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:

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.

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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

No recent accounting pronouncements affecting the Company were issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standards-setting bodies.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

As of November 30, 2020, and November 30, 2019, sales returns and allowances accrual activity is shown below:

	November 30, 2020	November 30, 2019
Beginning Balance	$325,000	$86,000
Accrued Allowances	-	33,000
Credits Issued	-	-
Ending Balance	$325,000	$119,000

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.

INVENTORIES

As of November 30, 2020, and February 29, 2020, inventories, net of reserves, consist of the following:

	November 30, 2020	February 29, 2020
Raw Materials	$859,000	$766,000
Work-In-Process	2,087,000	2,058,000
Finished Goods	107,000	46,000
Totals	$3,053,000	$2,870,000

Wafer related inventory, which includes raw wafers, work-in-process wafers, and wafer bank (completed wafers that are available to be consumed in the Company’s products), net of reserves, totaled $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.

ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

As of November 30, 2020, and February 29, 2020, accrued expenses and other current liabilities consist of the following:

	November 30, 2020	February 29, 2020
Payroll and related employee benefits	$330,000	$303,000
Return Allowance	325,000	126,000
Bonus accrual	77,000	-
Other current liabilities	12,000	8,000
Totals	$744,000	$437,000

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.

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.

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.

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.

Selling, 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.

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.

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.

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

This item is not applicable as we are currently considered a smaller reporting company.

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, 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.
