Previous wording

Worldwide supply chain disruptions, which were initially brought about by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, have persisted despite the recovery in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has experienced longer lead times for raw materials and has experienced raw material cost increases compared to prior fiscal years. These and other issues resulting from worldwide supply chain disruptions, including the conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, are expected to continue into fiscal 2025 and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The precise financial impact and duration, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Worldwide supply chain disruptions, which were initially brought about by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, have persisted despite the recovery in the global economy and financial markets. The Company has experienced longer lead times for raw materials and has experienced raw material cost increases compared to prior fiscal years. These and other issues resulting from worldwide supply chain disruptions, including tariffs and the impact of trade policies from the current United States government administration, as well as the conflicts in Eastern Europe, the Middle East and South Asia, are expected to continue into fiscal 2026 and could continue to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition. The precise financial impact and duration, however, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Previous wording

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition, valuation of inventories, accounting for income taxes and stock-based compensation expense.

Previous wording

The Company’s current provision for income taxes is based upon its estimated taxable income in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates, after considering the impact on taxable income of temporary and permanent differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and any operating loss or tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible. Should management determine that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets would be established in the period such determination was made.

Previous wording

Revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was $21,524,544, reflecting an increase of $2,387,654, or 12.5%, as compared to $19,136,890 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in orders from our defense customers due to renewed spending by the US Government on defense programs that IEH participates in. Fiscal 2024 also witnessed steady increases in revenue in commercial aerospace, generally, as consumer aviation traffic has returned to pre COVID-19 levels.

Current wording

Revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was $28,783,861, reflecting an increase of $7,259,317, or 33.7%, as compared to $21,524,544 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in orders from our defense customers for programs that IEH participates in. Fiscal 2025 also witnessed increases in revenue in commercial space exploration as space related programs continue to evolve and grow, offsetting the decline in revenue from commercial aerospace as the industry navigates through various production, labor and regulatory related challenges related to a major airplane producer.

The benefit for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 was principally attributable to adjustments to prior years’ federal, state and local income taxes.

As such, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the effect of recording a full valuation allowance resulted in an income tax provision of $806,380.

Previous wording

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we further develop and grow our business. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, our primary sources of liquidity came from existing cash. Based on our current plans and business conditions, we believe that existing cash, together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements in fiscal 2025 and into fiscal year 2026, and we are not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in a decrease in liquidity of our assets. We may require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, inflationary pressures and interest rates, and the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and the Middle East have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, inflationary pressures and the conflicts in Eastern Europe, Middle East and South Asia, and any economic uncertainty as a result of the change in presidential administration in the U.S. may result in significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital have resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

The period over period improvement in cash from operating activities of $1,870,786 was primarily due to the decrease in net loss of $2,062,351, increase in customer advance payments of $939,132 offset by decreases in accounts receivable of $981,327, corporate income taxes receivable of $848,708 and deferred income taxes, net of $806,380.

Net cash used in investing activities was $532,364 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, an increase of $185,196, as compared to use of $347,168 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to investment in machinery for product designs.

Previous wording

Net cash provided by financing activities was $56,550 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. This represents the proceeds from the exercise of stock options by a former director of the Company. There were no financing activities during fiscal year ended March 31, 2023.

Current wording

Previous wording

Our customers typically enter into supply arrangements for the purchase of our products which we will produce and deliver over time. On an as-needed basis, our customers place specific production orders, and these orders are generally filled and shipped within twelve weeks. Our backlog consists of supply arrangements where the anticipated unfulfilled shipping dates are within approximately twelve months. Because of the possibility of customer changes in delivery schedules or the cancellation of orders, our backlog as of any particular date may not be indicative of revenue in any future period. The backlog amounted to approximately $18,285,600 at March 31, 2024 as compared to $13,724,000 at March 31, 2023. The increase in total backlog as of March 31, 2024 compared with the previous year is primarily due to increases in defense customer demand.

The decrease in total backlog as of March 31, 2025 compared with the previous year is primarily due to decreases in defense orders as the company awaits several key customer contracts to be executed and due to sluggish recovery in commercial aerospace as the industry navigates through production, labor and regulatory issues related to a major airplane producer.

Previous wording

In the opinion of management, inflation has begun to impact the costs of our operations and depending upon the current duration and degree of higher inflation levels, is expected to have an impact upon our operations in the future. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.
