NVE CORPORATION 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS 

We develop and sell devices that use spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information. 

 

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain disclosures have been omitted as allowed, and it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

 

Significant accounting policies 

A description of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies except for changes resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) as described in the “Marketable securities and credit losses” section below and in Note 3.

 

Marketable securities and credit losses 

Our marketable securities consist of corporate bonds and money market funds. Marketable are initially recognized at cost. Marketable securities considered to be “purchased financial assets with credit deterioration” are initially recognized at cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, until realized. All marketable securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy in estimating and reporting fair values of our marketable securities:

 

Level 1 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices for similar securities in active markets or quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 – Securities whose fair values are determined using unobservable inputs.

 

Corporate bonds with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term and those with remaining maturities of one year or more are classified as long-term. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including money market funds, to be cash equivalents.

 

We measure credit losses on our marketable securities at the individual security level, using the present value of expected cash flows method. Credit losses are measured as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition), limited by the amount by which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. When estimating expected cash flows, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as, past incidences of default, credit quality as reported by credit rating agencies, extent of impairment, length of time the security has been in a continuous unrealized loss position, and adverse conditions forecasted by industry, financial and economic experts that are relevant to the collectability of expected cash flows. We do not include accrued interest receivables in amortized cost and in fair value when measuring expected credit losses. We will write off uncollectible accrued interest receivable to net income in a timely manner, by reversing interest income, and therefore do not measure credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Timely manner means one year from the date the accrued interest receivable becomes past due. Accrued interest receivables are included in the balance sheet in “prepaid expenses and other assets.”

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses 

We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and at times require customers to pay for orders before shipment. Accounts receivable are presented on the balance sheet net of any allowance for credit losses. We measure credit losses on our trade accounts receivable on a pool basis, and in some cases, on an individual basis, using the loss-rate method. Accounts receivable are pooled based on geographical locations because we believe accounts originating from the same geographical location share risk characteristics. When estimating expected credit losses on our trade accounts receivable, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as historical loss rate, current age and remaining term of the receivable relative to our current days sales outstanding (“DSO”) ratio, pending orders of the customer relative to accounts receivable balance as of the reporting date and amounts paid by the customers subsequent to the reporting period end but before the financial statements are issued.

 

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARD 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, and in February 2020 the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), both of which delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 by three years for certain Smaller Reporting Companies such as us. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments; which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. We adopted ASU
No. 2016-13 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

The adoption resulted in disclosure changes and required us to consider the likelihood of default and to measure our allowance for credit losses over the contractual term of our receivables. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements as of September 30 or April 1, 2023.

 

NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE 

Net income per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each period. Net income per diluted share amounts assume exercise of all stock options. The following tables show the components of diluted shares:

 

               
   Quarter Ended September 30, 
   2023   2022 
Weighted average common shares outstanding – basic   4,833,401    4,830,826 
Dilutive effect of stock options   7,369    130 
Shares used in computing net income per share – diluted   4,840,770    4,830,956 

 

               
   Six Months Ended September 30, 
   2023   2022

NOTE 5. MARKETABLE SECURITIES 

The following table shows the major categories of our marketable securities and their contractual maturities as of September 30, 2023:

 

   Total   <1 Year   1–3 Years   3–6 Years 
Money market funds  $6,853,047   $6,853,047   $   $ 
Corporate bonds   46,847,355    7,224,056    27,387,122    12,236,177 
Total  $53,700,402   $14,077,103   $27,387,122   $12,236,177 

 

Total marketable securities represent approximately 79% of our total assets as of September 30, 2023. Marketable securities as of September 30, 2023, had remaining maturities between one and 67 months.

 

Money market funds are included on the balance sheets in “Cash and cash equivalents.” Corporate bonds are included on the balance sheets in “Marketable securities, short term” and “Marketable securities, long term.” Accrued interest receivables were $436,932 as of September 30, 2023, and $425,372 as of March 31, 2023, and are included in the balance sheets in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.”

 

We monitor the credit ratings of our marketable securities at least quarterly as reported by Standard & Poor’s. The following table summarizes the fair values of our marketable securities as of September 30, 2023, aggregated by credit rating:

 

Credit Rating  Fair Value 
AAA  $8,134,255

None of the securities were impaired at acquisition, and subsequent declines in fair value are attributable to interest rate increases. We do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The issuers continue to make timely interest payments on these securities. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did not record any impairment attributable to credit losses.

 

None of the marketable securities purchased during the period had experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since its origination and were therefore not considered “Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration.”

 

Unrealized losses on our marketable securities and their tax effects are as follows:

 

   Quarter Ended September 30, 
   2023   2022 
Unrealized loss from marketable securities  $(68,597)  $(252,894)
Tax effects   15,009    55,333 
Unrealized loss from marketable securities, net of tax  $(53,588)  $(197,561)

NOTE 8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION 

Stock-based compensation expense was $106,312 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, $39,951 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, $116,848 for the first six months of fiscal 2024, and $47,085 for the first six months of fiscal 2023. We calculate share-based compensation expense using the Black-Scholes-Merton standard option-pricing model.

 

NOTE 9. INCOME TAXES 

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. As of September 30, 2023, federal and state estimated tax overpayments of $408,184 were included in the balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.”

 

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023, and we do not expect any significant unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023, we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2019 through 2023 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

 

NOTE 10. LEASES 

We conduct our operations in a leased facility under a non-cancellable lease expiring March 31, 2026. Our lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, so we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Details of our operating lease are as follows:

 

   Quarter Ended
Sept. 30, 2023
   Six Months Ended
Sept. 30, 2023
 
Operating lease cost  $37,754   $75,507 
           
Cash paid for amounts included
in the measurement of lease liabilities
          
Operating cash flows for leases  $44,433   $88,866 
Remaining lease term   30 months      
Discount rate   3.5%     

 

The following table shows the maturities of lease liabilities as of September 30, 2023:

Year Ending March 31,   Operating Lease Liabilities 
2024   $89,774 
2025    182,271 
2026    184,995 
Total lease payments    457,040 
Imputed lease interest    (18,946)
Total lease liabilities   $438,094 

 


NOTE 11. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM 

On January 21, 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of our Common Stock from time to time in open market, block, or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and extent of any repurchases depend on market conditions, the trading price of the company’s stock, and other factors, and subject to the restrictions relating to volume, price, and timing under applicable law. On August 27, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized up to $5,000,000 of additional repurchases. Our repurchase program does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to purchase any shares. The Program may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. We intend to finance any stock repurchases with cash provided by operating activities or maturing marketable securities. The remaining authorization was $3,520,369 as of September 30, 2023. We did not repurchase any of our Common Stock during fiscal 2024.

 

NOTE 12. INFORMATION AS TO EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE, SAVINGS, AND SIMILAR PLANS 

All of our employees are eligible to participate in our 401(k) savings plan the first quarter after reaching age 18. Employees may contribute up to the Internal Revenue Code maximum. We make matching contributions of 100% of the first 3% of participants’ salary deferral contributions. Our matching contributions were $24,406 for the second quarter of fiscal 2024, $23,751 for the second quarter of fiscal 2023, $51,483 for the first six months of fiscal 2024, and $52,177 for the first six months of fiscal 2023.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

On October 18, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid November 30, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business October 30, 2023.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Forward-looking statements 

Some of the statements made in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report and in other materials filed or to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as well as information included in verbal or written statements made by us constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue, or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of NVE, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to risks related to our reliance on several large customers for a significant percentage of revenue, our dependence on critical suppliers and packaging vendors, uncertainties related to the economic environments in the industries we serve, uncertainties related to future sales and revenues, risks of credit losses, risks and uncertainties related to future stock repurchases and dividend payments, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report.

 

Further information regarding our risks and uncertainties is contained in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023, as updated in Item 1A of this report.

Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the second quarter of fiscal 2024) decreased 33% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2022 (the second quarter of fiscal 2023). The decrease was due to a 32% decrease in product sales and a 92% decrease in contract research and development revenue. The decrease in product sales was primarily due to decreased purchases by existing customers, particularly in the defense industry, and a semiconductor industry downturn. The decrease in contract research and development revenue was due to the completion of most contracts.

 

Total expenses decreased 17% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2023 primarily due to a $202,926 credit loss provision reversal, partially offset by a 2% increase in research and development expense. The change in the provision for credit losses was due to a reassessment of our allowance for credit losses based on payments and debtor customer information as of September 30, 2023.

 

Interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 increased 46% due to higher yields on securities purchased after September 30, 2022.

 

Our effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes, decreased to 8% for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to 19% for the second quarter of fiscal 2023. The decrease was due to the impact of the $202,926 credit loss provision reversal and changes in the amounts and timing of tax deductions and credits. Our effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter. Our effective tax rate in subsequent quarters will likely be higher than the effective tax rate in the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

 

The 22% decrease in net income for the second quarter of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to decreased revenue, partially offset by decreased expenses, increased interest income, and a lower effective tax rate.

Provision for income taxes   11.3%   12.8%   (22.2)%
Net income   57.2%   56.7%   (10.8)%

 

Total revenue for the six months ended September 30, 2023, decreased 12% compared to the six months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was due to a 10% decrease in product sales and a 68% decrease in contract research and development revenue. The decrease in product sales was primarily due to decreased purchases by existing customers, particularly in the defense industry, and a semiconductor industry downturn. The decrease in contract research and development revenue was due to the completion of most contracts.

 

Total expenses increased 11% for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to the first six months of fiscal 2023 due to an 8% increase in research and development expense and a 13% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. The increases in research and development and selling, general, and administrative expenses were primarily due to increased staffing and increased employee compensation expenses.

 

Interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2024 increased 50% due to higher yields on securities purchased after September 30, 2022.

 

Our effective tax rate, which is the provision for income taxes as a percentage of income before taxes, decreased to 17% for the first six months of fiscal 2024 from 19% for the first six months of fiscal 2023. The decrease was due to changes in the amount and timing of tax deductions and tax credits.

 

The 11% decrease in net income for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to decreased revenue and increased expenses, partially offset by increased interest income and a lower effective tax rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview 

Cash and cash equivalents were $6,953,448 as of September 30, 2023, compared to $1,669,896 as of March 31, 2023. The $5,283,552 increase in cash and cash equivalents during the first six months of fiscal 2024 was due to $10,384,818 of cash provided by operating activities and $4,445,434 of cash provided by investing activities, partially offset by $9,546,700 of cash used in financing activities.

 

Operating Activities 

Net cash provided by operating activities related to product sales was our primary source of working capital for the current and prior-year quarters. Net cash provided by operating activities was $10,384,818 for the first six months of fiscal 2024 compared to $9,351,238 for the first six months of fiscal 2023.

 

Accounts receivable decreased $3,598,068 during the first six months of fiscal 2024 due to the timing of customer payments and decreased revenue.

 

Inventories increased $550,756 during the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily due to our decision to increase inventories to mitigate longer vendor lead times and to support growth.

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $953,886 during the first six months of fiscal 2024 primarily due to decreases in income tax payable, long-term operating lease, and a decrease in accruals for performance-based compensation.

 

Investing Activities 

Cash provided by investing activities during the first six months of fiscal 2024 consisted of $8,400,000 in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $16,731 of fixed assets purchases and $3,937,835 of marketable securities purchases. Purchases of fixed assets can vary from period to period depending on our needs and equipment purchasing opportunities. Such purchases could increase significantly in future periods.

 

Financing Activities 

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2023, consisted of $9,664,227 of cash dividends paid to shareholders, partially offset by $117,527 in proceeds from the exercise of stock options.

 

In addition to cash dividends to shareholders paid in the second quarter of fiscal 2024, on October 18, 2023, we announced that our Board of Directors had declared a cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, or $4,833,401, to be paid November 30, 2023, to shareholders of record as of the close of business October 30, 2023.

 

We plan to fund dividends through cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. All future dividends will be subject to Board approval and subject to the company’s results of operations, cash and marketable security balances, estimates of future cash requirements, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, dividends may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain disclosures have been omitted as allowed, and it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

 

Significant accounting policies 

A description of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies except for changes resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) as described in the “Marketable securities and credit losses” section below and in Note 3.

 

Marketable securities and credit losses 

Our marketable securities consist of corporate bonds and money market funds. Marketable are initially recognized at cost. Marketable securities considered to be “purchased financial assets with credit deterioration” are initially recognized at cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, until realized. All marketable securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy in estimating and reporting fair values of our marketable securities:

 

Level 1 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices for similar securities in active markets or quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 – Securities whose fair values are determined using unobservable inputs.

 

Corporate bonds with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term and those with remaining maturities of one year or more are classified as long-term. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including money market funds, to be cash equivalents.

 

We measure credit losses on our marketable securities at the individual security level, using the present value of expected cash flows method. Credit losses are measured as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition), limited by the amount by which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. When estimating expected cash flows, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as, past incidences of default, credit quality as reported by credit rating agencies, extent of impairment, length of time the security has been in a continuous unrealized loss position, and adverse conditions forecasted by industry, financial and economic experts that are relevant to the collectability of expected cash flows. We do not include accrued interest receivables in amortized cost and in fair value when measuring expected credit losses. We will write off uncollectible accrued interest receivable to net income in a timely manner, by reversing interest income, and therefore do not measure credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Timely manner means one year from the date the accrued interest receivable becomes past due. Accrued interest receivables are included in the balance sheet in “prepaid expenses and other assets.”

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses 

We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and at times require customers to pay for orders before shipment. Accounts receivable are presented on the balance sheet net of any allowance for credit losses. We measure credit losses on our trade accounts receivable on a pool basis, and in some cases, on an individual basis, using the loss-rate method. Accounts receivable are pooled based on geographical locations because we believe accounts originating from the same geographical location share risk characteristics. When estimating expected credit losses on our trade accounts receivable, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as historical loss rate, current age and remaining term of the receivable relative to our current days sales outstanding (“DSO”) ratio, pending orders of the customer relative to accounts receivable balance as of the reporting date and amounts paid by the customers subsequent to the reporting period end but before the financial statements are issued.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]  
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARD 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. ASU 2016-13 requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset(s) to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. In November 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies codification and corrects unintended application of the guidance, and in November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which clarifies or addresses specific issues about certain aspects of ASU 2016-13. In November 2019 the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates, and in February 2020 the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-02, Financial InstrumentsCredit Losses (Topic 326) and Leases (Topic 842): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), both of which delay the effective date of ASU 2016-13 by three years for certain Smaller Reporting Companies such as us. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments; which modifies the measurement of expected credit losses of certain financial instruments. We adopted ASU
No. 2016-13 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2023.

 

The adoption resulted in disclosure changes and required us to consider the likelihood of default and to measure our allowance for credit losses over the contractual term of our receivables. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements as of September 30 or April 1, 2023.

None of the securities were impaired at acquisition, and subsequent declines in fair value are attributable to interest rate increases. We do not intend to sell, and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell, these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis. The issuers continue to make timely interest payments on these securities. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did not record any impairment attributable to credit losses.

 

None of the marketable securities purchased during the period had experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since its origination and were therefore not considered “Purchased Financial Assets with Credit Deterioration.”

 

Unrealized losses on our marketable securities and their tax effects are as follows:

As of September 30, 2023, federal and state estimated tax overpayments of $408,184 were included in the balance sheet in “Prepaid expenses and other assets.”

 

We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2023, and we do not expect any significant unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of September 30, 2023, we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 2019 through 2023 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.

NOTE 10. LEASES 

We conduct our operations in a leased facility under a non-cancellable lease expiring March 31, 2026. Our lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, so we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Details of our operating lease are as follows:

NOTE 11. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM 

On January 21, 2009, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of our Common Stock from time to time in open market, block, or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and extent of any repurchases depend on market conditions, the trading price of the company’s stock, and other factors, and subject to the restrictions relating to volume, price, and timing under applicable law. On August 27, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized up to $5,000,000 of additional repurchases. Our repurchase program does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to purchase any shares. The Program may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice. We intend to finance any stock repurchases with cash provided by operating activities or maturing marketable securities. The remaining authorization was $3,520,369 as of September 30, 2023. We did not repurchase any of our Common Stock during fiscal 2024.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain disclosures have been omitted as allowed, and it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2024.

Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies 

A description of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies except for changes resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASC Topic 326) as described in the “Marketable securities and credit losses” section below and in Note 3.

Marketable securities and credit losses

Marketable securities and credit losses 

Our marketable securities consist of corporate bonds and money market funds. Marketable are initially recognized at cost. Marketable securities considered to be “purchased financial assets with credit deterioration” are initially recognized at cost, less any allowance for expected credit losses. Unrealized holding gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes, until realized. All marketable securities are carried on the balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We use a three-level fair value hierarchy in estimating and reporting fair values of our marketable securities:

 

Level 1 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 – Securities whose fair values are determined using quoted prices for similar securities in active markets or quoted prices for identical securities in markets that are not active.

 

Level 3 – Securities whose fair values are determined using unobservable inputs.

 

Corporate bonds with remaining maturities of less than one year are classified as short-term and those with remaining maturities of one year or more are classified as long-term. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including money market funds, to be cash equivalents.

 

We measure credit losses on our marketable securities at the individual security level, using the present value of expected cash flows method. Credit losses are measured as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the security exceeds the present value of expected cash flows (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition), limited by the amount by which the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis. When estimating expected cash flows, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as, past incidences of default, credit quality as reported by credit rating agencies, extent of impairment, length of time the security has been in a continuous unrealized loss position, and adverse conditions forecasted by industry, financial and economic experts that are relevant to the collectability of expected cash flows. We do not include accrued interest receivables in amortized cost and in fair value when measuring expected credit losses. We will write off uncollectible accrued interest receivable to net income in a timely manner, by reversing interest income, and therefore do not measure credit losses for accrued interest receivable. Timely manner means one year from the date the accrued interest receivable becomes past due. Accrued interest receivables are included in the balance sheet in “prepaid expenses and other assets.”

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses 

We grant credit to customers in the normal course of business and at times require customers to pay for orders before shipment. Accounts receivable are presented on the balance sheet net of any allowance for credit losses. We measure credit losses on our trade accounts receivable on a pool basis, and in some cases, on an individual basis, using the loss-rate method. Accounts receivable are pooled based on geographical locations because we believe accounts originating from the same geographical location share risk characteristics. When estimating expected credit losses on our trade accounts receivable, we consider available information relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts such as historical loss rate, current age and remaining term of the receivable relative to our current days sales outstanding (“DSO”) ratio, pending orders of the customer relative to accounts receivable balance as of the reporting date and amounts paid by the customers subsequent to the reporting period end but before the financial statements are issued.
