Description of Business

Description of Business:

 

The Company designs, develops and manufactures printed circuit connectors for high performance applications. We have also developed a high-performance plastic circular connector line. All of our products utilize the HYPERBOLOID contact design, a rugged high-reliability contact system ideally suited for high-stress environments. We are the only independent producer of HYPERBOLOID in the United States.

 

Our customers consist of OEM’s (Original Equipment Manufacturers), companies manufacturing medical equipment, and distributors who resell our products to OEMs. We sell our products directly and through regional representatives located in all regions of the United States, Canada, Israel, India, various Pacific Rim countries, South Korea and the European Union (EU).

 

The customers we service are in the Military, Aerospace, Space, Medical, Oil and Gas, Industrial, Test Equipment and Commercial Electronics markets. We appear on the Military Qualified Product Listing “QPL” to MIL-DTL-55302 and supply customer requested modifications to this specification. Sales to the Commercial Aerospace and Military markets were 35% and 45%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales for the year ended March 30, 2018. Our offering of “QPL” items has recently been expanded to include additional products.

 

In order to remain competitive, the Company has an internal program to upgrade, add and maintain machinery, review material costs and increase labor force productivity. During the fiscal year ended March 30, 2018, the Company purchased several machines to increase the productivity of certain processes. This will help the Company meet this goal.

Business New Product Development

Business New Product Development:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Accounting Period

Accounting Period:

 

The Company maintains an accounting period based upon a 52-53 week year, which ends on the nearest Friday in business days to March 31. The year ended March 30, 2018 was comprised of 52 weeks. The current fiscal year, ending on March 29, 2019, will be comprised of 52 weeks.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition:

 

Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue transactions represent sales of inventory. The Company has historically adopted shipping terms that title to merchandise passes to the customer at the shipping point (FOB Shipping Point).

 

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

  · Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exits

  · Shipment has occurred

  · The Company’s selling price for its products are fixed and determinable

  · Collectability is reasonable assured

 

The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives. Historically, the Company believes that it has no collection issues with its customer base.

 

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

  

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

 

The Company provides engineering services as part of the relationship with its customers in developing the custom product. The Company is not obligated to provide such engineering service to its customers. The Company does not invoice its customers separately for these services.

Inventories

Inventories:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentration of Credit Risk:

 

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

 

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

 

As of December 28, 2018 and March 30, 2018, the Company had funds on deposit in the amount of $7,299,734 and $1,887,682, in one financial institution comprised of the following:

 

   December 28, 2018   March 30, 2018 
         
Non-interest-bearing accounts  $3,050,432   $746,958 
Interest bearing account   4,249,302    1,140,724 
   $7,299,734   $1,887,682 
           

 

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

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment:

 

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

 

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

Net Income Per Share

Net Income Per Share:

 

The Company has adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the disclosure of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Fully diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis during each period.

 

Under the requirements of ASC Topic 260, during this period the Company is required to use the Treasury Stock method in computing fully diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis because the options previously granted by the Company are considered to be “in the money” (i.e., when the option grant price is lower than the prevailing market price of the Company’s common stock). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been increased to reflect the dilutive effect of potential shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of the stock options as if they had been issued.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

 

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

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates:

 

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

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

 

There were no long-lived asset impairments recognized by the Company for the nine months ended

December 28, 2018 and December 29, 2017, respectively, and currently all assets are being utilized.

Stock-Based Compensation Plan

Stock-Based Compensation Plan:

 

Compensation expense for stock options granted to directors, officers and key employees is based on the fair value of the award on the measurement date, which is the date of the grant. The expense is recognized ratably over the service period of the award. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of any other non-vested stock awards is generally the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

FASB has issued certain accounting standards updates as of December 28, 2018 that will become effective in subsequent periods. The Company believes that none of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during the nine months ended December 28, 2018 and December 29, 2017, respectively, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements at the time that they become effective.
