Notes to Financial Statements
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 the Notes to Financial Statements have been condensed as permitted. It is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and Notes included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. The results of operations for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
Significant accounting policies
A description of our significant accounting policies and estimates is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies or estimates.
Reclassification
The presentation of certain items in the statement of cash flows for the three- and nine-month periods ending December 31, 2023 has been changed to conform to the classifications used in 2024. These reclassifications had no effect on shareholders’ equity, net income, or comprehensive net income as previously reported.
NOTE 3. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NOT YET ADOPTED
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2024-03,*Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40).*ASU 2024-03 aims to enhance transparency for users of financial statements by requiring public business entities to disaggregate specific expense categories. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01,Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date, which clarified the effective date for non-calendar year-end entities such as us. ASU 2024-03 mandates disclosures in the notes to financial statements detailing the composition and trends of key expense categories within major income statement captions. These enhanced disclosures are intended to help investors more effectively assess the entity’s performance, understand its cost structure, and make more accurate forecasts of future cash flows. For public business entities, ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, which for us will be for fiscal 2028 and for interim reporting periods beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2029. The adoption will result in disclosure changes only.
We do not expect the adoption of other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date to have a material impact on our financial statements when they are adopted.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE

NOTE 5. MARKETABLE SECURITIES
The following table shows the major categories of our marketable securities and their contractual maturities as of December 31, 2024:
| Total · <1 Year · 1–3 Years · 3–5 Years | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Money market funds | $5,109,218 | $5,109,218 | $ | - | $ | - |

| Corporate bonds | 39,924,838 | 14,907,252 | 17,149,882 | 7,867,704 | ||
| Total | $49,720,837 | $20,016,470 | $21,836,663 | $7,867,704 | ||
Total marketable securities and money market funds represented approximately 77% of our total assets as of December 31, 2024. Marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, had remaining maturities between 10 weeks and 52 months.
Money market funds are included on the balance sheets in “Cash and cash equivalents.” Corporate bonds are included in “Marketable securities, short term” and “Marketable securities, long term.” Treasury securities are included in “Marketable securities, long term.” Accrued interest receivable was $354,529 as of December 31, 2024, and $460,627 as of March 31, 2024, and is 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 December 31, 2024, aggregated by credit rating:
| Credit Rating | Fair Value |
|---|---|
| AAA | $9,795,999 |
| AA+ | 3,877,878 |
| AA | 9,755,138 |
| AA- | 18,408,078 |
| A+ | 2,915,398 |
| A | 4,968,346 |
| Total | $49,720,837 |
Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did not record any allowance 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.”

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.
