Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements and the related disclosures as of December 31, 2024, and for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, (“U.S. GAAP”), and the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 14, 2024. The balance sheet as of March 31, 2024 included herein was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all disclosures including notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024 and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, or any other interim period or future year or period.

Revenue Recognition

The core principle underlying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”) is to 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 to in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 sets out the following steps for an entity to follow when applying the core principle to its revenue generating transactions:

Revenue Recognition -continued

The Company recognizes revenue and the related cost of products sold when the performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are typically satisfied upon shipment of physical goods. In addition to the satisfaction of the performance obligations, the following conditions are required for revenue recognition: an arrangement exists, there is a fixed price, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives. Historically, the Company has not had an issue with uncollectible accounts receivable.

The Company will accept a return of defective products 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 provide a replacement at its own cost. Historically, returns and repairs have not been material.

The Company’s disaggregated revenue by geographical location is as follows:

The Company’s disaggregated revenue by industry as a percentage of total revenue is provided below:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions that may exceed federally insured amounts at times. As of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company had$0 and $3,500,000 in cash equivalents, respectively, consisting of certificates of deposit. As of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $9,041,167 and $6,139,823, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are comprised of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods, and are stated at cost, on an average basis, which does not exceed net realizable value. The Company manufactures products pursuant to specific technical and contractual requirements.

The Company 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 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. The Company’s allowance for obsolete inventory was $1,100,877 and $773,402 as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively, and was reflected as a reduction of inventory.

Net (Loss) Income Per Share

The Company accounts for earnings per share pursuant to ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share”, which requires disclosure on the financial statements of “basic” and “diluted” earnings per share. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus common stock equivalents (if dilutive).

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is calculated as follows:

Potentially dilutive securities outlined in the table below have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. The Company utilizes estimates with respect to determining the useful lives of fixed assets, the fair value of stock-based instruments, an incremental borrowing rate for determining the present value of lease payments, the calculation of inventory obsolescence, as well as determining the amount of the valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets, net. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Depreciation and Amortization

The Company provides for depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (5-7 years) of the related assets. Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $183,514 and $217,200, respectively. Depreciation expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $557,691 and $648,022, respectively.

Stock-Based Compensation

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 the Black-Scholes valuation model. The fair value of any other stock awards is generally the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant.

The Company determined the fair value of the stock option grants based upon the assumptions as provided below.

Recent Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 – Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The standard is effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is available. The Company is still evaluating the full extent of the potential impact of the adoption of ASU 2023-09, but believes it will not have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. The Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Inventories are comprised of the following:

Other current liabilities are comprised of the following:

Operating leases

Leases classified as operating leases are included in operating lease right-of use assets, operating lease liabilities and operating lease liabilities, non-current, in the Company’s condensed balance sheets.

Condensed balance sheet information related to our leases is presented below:

The lease expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $144,070 and $142,613, respectively, and for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was $427,864 and $423,573, respectively, which was included in costs of product sold on the Company’s condensed statements of operations. In addition to the base rent, the Company pays insurance premiums and utility charges relating to the use of the premises. The Company considers its present facilities to be adequate for its present and anticipated future needs.

The basic minimum annual rental payments remaining on these leases was $2,727,039 as of December 31, 2024.

The weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for operating leases were:

The total remaining operating lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities on the Company’s condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 2024 was as follows:

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was a provision of 0% on loss before provision for income taxes of $61,640 and $926,053, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was a provision of 0% on income before provision for income taxes of $577,590 and a loss before provision for income taxes of $3,342,558. The provision for income taxes of$0 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 was principally attributable to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income and the impact of maintaining a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, net. The provision for income taxes of$0 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to the loss before provision for income taxes incurred for the period and the impact of recording a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, net.

2020 Equity Based Compensation Plan

On November 18, 2020, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s 2020 Equity Based Compensation Plan (the “2020 Plan”) for submission to shareholders at the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. On December 16, 2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the 2020 Plan, which provides for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to award in the future as incentive compensation to employees, senior management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Options granted to employees under the 2020 Plan may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, or options which do not qualify (non-qualified stock options).

Under the 2020 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an incentive stock option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day the option is granted. In the event an option designated as an incentive stock option is granted to a ten percent (10%) or greater shareholder, such exercise price shall be at least 110 percent (110%) of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the option must not be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the day of the grant. The 2020 Plan also provide that holders of options that wish to pay for the exercise price of their options with shares of the Company’s common stock must have beneficially owned such stock for at least six months prior to the exercise date.

Exercise prices of non-incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant(s), which are designated as incentive stock options, and which become exercisable in any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000.

Stock-based compensation expense

Stock-based compensation expense is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses included in the condensed statements of operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation expense was $141,500 and $117,250, respectively. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, stock-based compensation expense was $266,600 and $309,400, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unamortized stock options. It is the Company’s policy that any unrecognized stock-based compensation cost would be adjusted for actual forfeitures as they occur.

The following table provides the stock option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2024:

The weighted average grant date fair value per share was $3.81 and $3.64 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e., the difference between the Company’s closing stock price on the last trading day of the period and the exercise price, times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their in-the-money options on those dates.

In 1987, the Company adopted a cash bonus plan (the “Cash Bonus Plan”) for non-union, management and administration staff. Unless otherwise approved by the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, contributions to the Cash Bonus Plan will only be funded by the Company for payment of bonuses with respect to any fiscal year, when the Company is profitable for such fiscal year. As of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company’s accrued bonus was $287,600 and $150,000, respectively, which is included in other current liabilities on the accompanying condensed balance sheets.
