Overview  

SigmaTron is a Delaware corporation, which was organized on November 16, 1993, and commenced operations 
when it became the successor to all of the assets and liabilities of SigmaTron L.P., an Illinois limited 
partnership, through a reorganization on February 8, 1994. 

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing 
services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) 
electronic products.  In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides 
services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material 
sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing 
and distribution services; and (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other 
regulatory bodies.  The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of 
facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan. 

The Company provides manufacturing and assembly services ranging from the assembly of individual 
components to the assembly and testing of box-build electronic products.  The Company has the ability to 
produce assemblies requiring mechanical as well as electronic capabilities.  The products assembled by the 

4 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Company are then incorporated into finished products sold in various industries, particularly industrial 
electronics, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences.  In some instances the Company manufactures the 
completed finished product for its customers. 

The Company operates manufacturing facilities in Elk Grove Village, Illinois United States of America 
(“U.S.”); Union City, California U.S.; Acuna, Chihuahua and Tijuana, Mexico; Suzhou, China; and Ho Chi 
Minh City, Vietnam.  In addition, the Company maintains an International Procurement Office (“IPO”) in 
Taipei, Taiwan.  The Company also provides design services in Elgin, Illinois.  The Company has an 
information technology office in Taichung, Taiwan.   

The Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to 
manufacture in China, Mexico, Vietnam or the U.S.  We believe this strategy will continue to serve the 
Company well as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies. 

Products and Services 

The Company provides a broad range of electronic and electromechanical manufacturing related outsourcing 
solutions for its customers.  These solutions incorporate the Company’s knowledge and expertise in the EMS 
industry to provide its customers with an international network of manufacturing facilities, advanced 
manufacturing technologies, complete supply chain management, responsive and flexible customer service, as 
well as product design, test and engineering support.  The Company’s EMS solutions are available from 
inception of product concept through the ultimate delivery of a finished product.  Such technologies and 
services include the following: 

Manufacturing and Testing Services:  The Company’s core business is the assembly and testing of all 

types of electronic printed circuit board assemblies (“PCBA”) and often incorporating these PCBAs into 
electronic modules used in all types of devices and products that depend on electronics for their operation.  This 
assembly work utilizes state of the art manufacturing and test equipment to deliver highly reliable products to 
the Company’s customers.  The Company supports new product introduction (“NPI”), low volume / high mix as 
well as high volume/ low mix assembly work at all levels of complexity.  Assembly services include pin-
through-hole (“PTH”) components, surface mount (“SMT”) components, including ball grid array (“BGA”), 
part-on-part components, conformal coating, parylene coating and others.  Test services include and are not 
limited to, in-circuit, automated optical inspection (“AOI”), functional, burn-in, hi-pot and boundary scan.  
From simple component assembly through the most complicated industry testing, the Company offers most of 
the services required to build electronic devices commercially available in the market today. 

Design Services:  To complement the manufacturing services it offers its customers, the Company also 
offers design for manufacturing (“DFM”), and design for test (“DFT”) review services to help customers ensure 
that the products they have designed are optimized for production and testing.  The Company also offers 
complete product design services. 

Supply Chain Management:  The Company provides complete supply chain management for the 

procurement of components needed to build customers’ products.  This includes the procurement and 
management of all types of electronic components and related mechanical parts such as plastics and metals.  
The Company’s resources supporting this activity are provided both on a plant specific basis as well as globally 
through its IPO in Taipei, Taiwan.  Each of its sites is linked together using the same Enterprise Resource 
Planning (“ERP”) system and custom IScore software tools with real-time on-line visibility for customer access.  
The Company procures material from major manufacturers and distributors of electronic parts all over the 
world. 

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s 
production process.  Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of 
suppliers.  In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a 
single-source or a small number of suppliers.  In the past twelve months the component marketplace has 
experienced shortages of various components, which in some cases has delayed delivery of product to 
customers.  The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.  
Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
buying power from suppliers.  The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or 
single-source suppliers.  The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides 
flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers. 

Warehousing and Distribution:  The Company provides both in-house and third party warehousing, 

shipping, and customs brokerage for border crossings as part of its service offering.  This includes international 
shipping, drop shipments to the end customer, as well as, support of inventory optimization activities such as 
kanban and consignment. 

Green, Sustainability, and Social Responsible Initiatives:  The Company supports initiatives that 

promote sustainability, green environment and social responsibility.  The Company requires its supply chain to 
meet all government imposed requirements in these areas and helps its customers in achieving effective 
compliance.  Those include, but are not limited to, Restrictions of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”), Restriction 
of Chemicals (“REACH”) and Conflict Minerals regulations.  

Manufacturing Location and Certifications:  The Company’s manufacturing and warehousing 

locations are strategically located to support our customers with locations in Elk Grove Village, Illinois U.S.; 
Union City, California U.S.; Acuna, Chihuahua and Tijuana, Mexico; Suzhou, China and Ho Chi Minh City, 
Vietnam.  The Company’s ability to transition manufacturing to lower cost regions without jeopardizing 
flexibility and service, differentiates it from many competitors.  Manufacturing certifications and registrations 
are location specific, and include ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, IATF 16949:2009, Medical ISO 
13485:2016 and FDB Certification, Aerospace AS9100D and International Traffic in Arms Regulations 
(“ITAR”) certifications.   

Markets and Customers 

The Company’s customers are in the industrial electronics, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences 
industries.  As of April 30, 2019, the Company had approximately 180 active customers ranging from Fortune 
500 companies to small, privately held enterprises.

Sales and Marketing 

Many of the members of the Company’s senior management are actively involved in sales and marketing 
efforts, and the Company has four direct sales employees.  The Company markets its services through five 
independent manufacturers’ representative organizations that together currently employ 15 sales personnel in 
the United States and Canada.  Independent manufacturers’ representatives’ organizations receive variable 
commissions based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories.  In 
addition, the Company markets itself through its website and tradeshows.   

Mexico, Vietnam and China Operations 

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A, a Mexican corporation, is 
located in Acuna, Coahuila Mexico, a border town across the Rio Grande River from Del Rio, Texas, and is 155 
miles west of San Antonio. Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. was incorporated and commenced operation 
in 1968 and had 806 employees at April 30, 2019.  The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, AbleMex S.A. de 
C.V., a Mexican corporation, is located in Tijuana, Baja California Mexico, a border town south of San Diego, 
California.  AbleMex S.A. de C.V. was incorporated and commenced operations in 2000.  The operation had 
364 employees at April 30, 2019.  The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Digital Appliance Controls de 
Mexico S.A., a Mexican corporation, operates in Chihuahua, Mexico, located approximately 235 miles from El 
Paso, Texas.  Digital Appliance Controls de Mexico S.A. was incorporated and commenced operations in 1997.  
The operation had 513 employees at April 30, 2019.  The Company believes that one of the key benefits to 
having operations in Mexico is its access to cost-effective labor resources while having geographic proximity to 
the United States. 

The Company’s wholly-owned foreign enterprises, Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron 
Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., are located in Suzhou, China.  The Company has entered into an agreement 
with governmental authorities in the economic development zone of Wujiang, Jiangsu Province, Peoples 
Republic of China, pursuant to which the Company became the lessee of a parcel of land of approximately 100 
Chinese acres.  The term of the land lease is 50 years.  The Company built a manufacturing plant, office space 
and dormitories on this site during 2004.  In fiscal year 2015, the China facility expanded and added 40,000 
square feet in warehouse and manufacturing.  The total square footage of the facility is 202,000 and the 
operation had 505 employees as of April 30, 2019.  Both SigmaTron China entities operate at this site.  

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd. is located in Amata Industrial 
Park, Bien Hoa City, Dong Nai Province, Vietnam, and is 18 miles east of Ho Chi Minh City.  Spitfire Controls 
(Vietnam) Co. Ltd. was incorporated and commenced operation in 2005 and had 392 employees as of April 30, 
2019. 

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to 
operate its wholly-owned Mexican, Vietnamese and Chinese subsidiaries and foreign enterprises and the 
Taiwan IPO.  The Company provides funding in U.S. Dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Dong, Renminbi, 
and New Taiwan dollars.  The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase 
in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.  The impact of currency 
fluctuations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of 
approximately $433,742 compared to net foreign currency gains of $125,000 in the prior year.  In fiscal year 
2019, the Company paid approximately $53,090,000 to its foreign subsidiaries. 

The consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2019, include the accounts and transactions of SigmaTron, 
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A., AbleMex S.A. de C.V., Digital 
Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd., Spitfire Controls (Cayman) 
Co. Ltd., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron 
Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., and international procurement office, SigmaTron Taiwan Branch.  The 
functional currency of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries operations is the U.S. Dollar.  Intercompany 
transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Competition 

The EMS industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid change.  Furthermore, both large and small 
companies compete in the industry, and many have significantly greater financial resources, more extensive 
business experience and greater marketing and production capabilities than the Company.  The significant 
competitive factors in this industry include price, quality, service, timeliness, reliability, the ability to source 
raw components, and manufacturing and technological capabilities.  The Company believes it can compete on 
all of these factors. 

Consolidation 

As a result of consolidation and other transactions involving competitors and other companies in the Company’s 
markets, the Company occasionally reviews potential transactions relating to its business, products and 
technologies.  Such transactions could include mergers, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, licensing 
agreements, co-promotion agreements, financing arrangements or other types of transactions.  In the future, the 
Company may choose to enter into these types of or other transactions at any time depending on available 
sources of financing, and such transactions could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial 
condition or operations. 

Governmental Regulations  

The Company’s operations are subject to certain foreign government, U.S. federal, state and local regulatory 
requirements relating to, among others, environmental, waste management, labor and health and safety 
matters.  Management believes that the Company’s business is operated in compliance with all such regulations, 
which include European regulations known as RoHS and REACH.  RoHS prohibits the use of lead, mercury 
and certain other specified substances in products being sold into the European Union.  The Company has 
RoHS-dedicated manufacturing capabilities at all of its manufacturing operations. REACH imposes information 
reporting requirements on all listed SVHCs (substances of very high concern).  From time-to-time the 
Company's customers request REACH required information and certifications on the assemblies the Company 
manufactures for them.  These requests require the Company to gather information from component suppliers to 
verify the presence and level of mass of any SVHCs greater than 0.1% in the assemblies the Company 
manufactures based on customer specifications.  If any SVHCs are present at more than 0.1% of the mass of the 
item, the specific concentration and mass of the SVHC must be reported to proper authorities by the Company's 
customer. 

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) introduced 
reporting requirements for verification of whether the Company directly (or indirectly through suppliers of 
components) is purchasing the minerals or metals gold, columbite-tantalite, cassiterite, wolframite and their 
derivatives (tin, tungsten, and tantalum), that are being provided by sources in the conflict region of the 
Democratic Republic of Congo (“DRC”).  Consistent with recent prior years, in May 2019, the Company filed 
Form SD with the Securities and Exchange Commission stating the Company’s supply chain remains DRC 
conflict undeterminable. 

The Company’s costs of compliance with environmental laws, including conflict mineral reporting, is estimated 
to be a total of approximately $1,600,000 for the three most recently completed fiscal years ending April 30, 
2019.  Additional or modified requirements may be imposed in the future.  If such additional or modified 
requirements are imposed, or if conditions requiring remediation are found to exist, the Company may be 
required to incur additional expenditures. 

Backlog 

The Company relies on forecasted orders and purchase orders (firm orders) from its customers to estimate 
backlog.  The Company’s backlog of firm orders as of April 30, 2019, and April 30, 2018, was approximately 
$269,660,000 and $219,100,000, respectively.  The Company believes a significant portion of the backlog at 
April 30, 2019, will ship in fiscal year 2020.  Because customers may cancel or reschedule deliveries, backlog 
may not be a meaningful indicator of future revenue.  Variations in the magnitude and duration of contracts, 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
forecasts and purchase orders received by the Company and delivery requirements generally may result in 
substantial fluctuations in backlog from period to period. 

Employees 

The Company employed approximately 3,106 full-time employees as of April 30, 2019, including 208 engaged 
in engineering or engineering-related services, 2,510 in manufacturing and 388 in administrative and marketing

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 

The following risk factors should be read carefully in connection with evaluating our business and the forward-
looking information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Any of the following risks could 
materially adversely affect our business, operations, industry or financial position or our future financial 
performance.  While the Company believes it has identified and discussed below the key risk factors affecting 
its business, there may be additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known or that are not 
currently believed to be significant that may adversely affect its business, operations, industry, financial 
position and financial performance in the future.

The Company’s ability to secure and maintain sufficient credit arrangements is key to its continued 
operations. 

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a $35,000,000 senior secured credit facility with U.S. Bank, 
which expires on March 31, 2022.  The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s 
domestically located assets. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may 
borrow funds:  the bank fixed rate of five percent or LIBOR plus one and one half percent (effectively 4.09% at 
April 30, 2019).  Interest is due monthly.  Under the senior secured credit facility, the Company may borrow up 
to the lesser of (i) $35,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable plus a 
percentage of the eligible inventory (the “Borrowing Base”).   

On July 16, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving line of credit under 
the senior secured credit facility.  The amended revolving credit facility allows the Company to borrow up to 
the lesser of (i) $45,000,000 (the “Revolving Line Cap”) less reserves or (ii) the Borrowing Base, but no more 
than 90% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap, except that the 90% limitation will expire if the Company’s 
actual revolving loans for 90 consecutive days after the amendment’s effective date are less than 80% of the 
Company’s Borrowing Base and the Company maintains a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for four 
consecutive quarters.  The amendment also imposes sublimits on categories of inventory equal to $10,500,000 
on raw materials, $10,000,000 on finished goods and $28,000,000 on all eligible inventory.   

On December 13, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  
The amendment provides an exception to otherwise ineligible foreign receivables for up to $3,000,000 of 
receivables paid by certain enumerated account debtors outside of the U.S. and Canada. 

On March 22, 2019, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  
The amendment allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line Cap less reserves or 
(ii) the Borrowing Base, but no more than 95% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap until August 1, 2019 and 
90% on and after August 1, 2019.  As of April 30, 2019, there was $35,727,212 outstanding and $6,645,730 of 
unused availability under the U.S. Bank facility compared to an outstanding balance of $29,279,631 and 
$5,720,369 of unused availability at April 30, 2018.  At April 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with 
its financial covenant and other restrictive covenants under the credit facility.  Deferred financing costs of 
$75,083 were capitalized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, which are amortized over the term of the 
agreement.  As of April 30, 2019, and April 30, 2018, the unamortized amount offset against outstanding debt 
was $209,162 and $192,502, respectively. 

On March 15, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., 
entered into a credit facility with China Construction Bank.  Under the agreement SigmaTron Electronic 
Technology Co., Ltd. can borrow up to 5,000,000 Renminbi, approximately $743,000 as of April 30, 2019, and 
the facility is collateralized by Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd.’s manufacturing building.  Interest is 
payable monthly and the facility bears a fixed interest rate of 6.09%.  The term of the facility extends to March 
14, 2024.  There was no outstanding balance under the facility at April 30, 2019. 

The Company is in compliance with its financial covenant and other restrictive covenants and anticipates that its 
credit facilities, expected future cash flows from operations and leasing resources are adequate to meet its 
working capital requirements, and fund capital expenditures for the next 12 months.  In addition, if customers 
delay orders, future payments are not made timely, the Company desires to expand its operations, its business 
grows more rapidly than expected, or the current economic climate deteriorates, additional financing resources 
may be necessary. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at 
acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew 
its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. 

Adverse changes in the economy or political conditions could negatively impact the Company’s business, 
results of operations and financial condition. 

The Company’s sales and gross margins depend significantly on market demand for its customers’ products.  
The uncertainty in the U.S. and international economic and political environments could result in a decline in 
demand for our customers’ products in any industry.  Further, any adverse changes in tax rates and laws or trade 

11 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
policies affecting our customers could result in decreasing gross margins.  Any of these factors could negatively 
impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. 

The Company experiences variable operating results. 

The Company’s results of operations have varied and may continue to fluctuate significantly from period to 
period, including on a quarterly basis.  Consequently, results of operations in any period should not be 
considered indicative of the results for any future period, and fluctuations in operating results may also result in 
fluctuations in the price of the Company’s common stock. 

The Company’s quarterly and annual results may vary significantly depending on numerous factors, many of 
which are beyond the Company’s control.  Some of these factors include: 

-          changes in sales mix to customers 
-          changes in availability and rising component costs 
-          volume of customer orders relative to capacity 
-          market demand and acceptance of our customers’ products 
-          price erosion within the EMS marketplace 
-          capital equipment requirements needed to remain technologically competitive 
-          volatility in the U.S. and international economic and financial markets 

The Company’s customer base is concentrated. 

Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 49.7% and 50.2% of net sales for the fiscal years 
ended April 30, 2019, and April 30, 2018, respectively.  For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, two customers 
accounted for 15.9% and 15.8% of net sales of the Company, and 3.9% and 11.5%, respectively, of accounts 
receivable.  For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, two customers accounted for 20.2% and 13.3% of net sales 
of the Company and 6.0% and 2.9%, respectively, of accounts receivable.  Significant reductions in sales to any 
of the Company’s major customers or the loss of a major customer could have a material impact on the 
Company’s operations.  If the Company cannot replace cancelled or reduced orders, sales will decline, which 
could have a material impact on the results of operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company will 
retain any or all of its largest customers.  This risk may be further complicated by pricing pressures and intense 
competition prevalent in our industry. 

If any of the Company’s customers have financial difficulties, the Company could encounter delays or defaults 
in the payment of amounts owed for accounts receivable and inventory obligations.  This could have a 
significant adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition. 

Most of the Company’s customers do not commit to long-term production schedules, which makes it difficult 
to schedule production and achieve maximum efficiency at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and 
manage inventory levels. 

The volume and timing of sales to the Company’s customers may vary due to: 

-          customers’ attempts to manage their inventory 
-          variation in demand for the Company’s customers’ products 
-          design changes, or 
-          acquisitions of or consolidation among customers 

Many of the Company’s customers do not commit to firm production schedules.  The Company’s inability to 
forecast the level of customer orders with certainty can make it difficult to schedule production and maximize 
utilization of manufacturing capacity and manage inventory levels.  The Company could be required to increase 
or decrease staffing and more closely manage other expenses in order to meet the anticipated demand of its 
customers.  Orders from the Company’s customers could be cancelled or delivery schedules could be deferred 
as a result of changes in our customers’ demand, thereby adversely affecting the Company’s results of 
operations in any given period. 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company and its customers may be unable to keep current with the industry’s technological changes. 

The market for the Company’s manufacturing services is characterized by rapidly changing technology and 
continuing product development.  The future success of the Company’s business will depend in large part upon 
our customers’ ability to maintain and enhance their technological capabilities, develop and market 
manufacturing services which meet changing customer needs and successfully anticipate or respond to 
technological changes in manufacturing processes on a cost-effective and timely basis. 

Our customers have competitive challenges, including rapid technological changes, pricing pressure and 
decreasing demand from their customers, which could adversely affect their business and the Company’s. 

Factors affecting the industries that utilize our customers’ products could negatively impact our customers and 
the Company.  These factors include: 

-          increased competition among our customers and their competitors 
-          the inability of our customers to develop and market their products 
-          recessionary periods in our customers’ markets 
-          the potential that our customers’ products become obsolete 
-          our customers’ inability to react to rapidly changing technology 

Any such factor or a combination of factors could negatively impact our customers’ need for or ability to pay 
for our products, which could, in turn, affect the Company’s results of operations. 

Adverse market conditions could reduce our future sales and earnings per share. 

Uncertainty over the erosion of global consumer confidence amidst concerns about volatile energy costs, 
geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit, declining asset values, inflation, rising unemployment, 
and the stability and solvency of financial institutions, financial markets, businesses, and sovereign nations has 
slowed global economic growth and resulted in recessions in many countries, including in the United States, 
Europe and certain countries in Asia over the past several years.  The economic recovery of recent years is 
fragile and recessionary conditions may return.  Any of these potential negative economic conditions may 
reduce demand for the Company’s customers’ products and adversely affect the Company’s sales.  
Consequently, the Company’s past operating results, earnings and cash flows may not be indicative of the 
Company’s future operating results, earnings and cash flows. 

Customer relationships with start-up companies present more risk. 

A small portion of the Company’s current customer base is comprised of start-up companies.  Customer 
relationships with start-up companies may present heightened risk due to the lack of product history.  Slow 
market acceptance of their products could result in demand fluctuations causing inventory levels to rise.  
Further, the current economic environment could make it difficult for such emerging companies to obtain 
additional funding.  This may result in additional credit risk including, but not limited to, the collection of trade 
account receivables and payment for their inventory.  If the Company does not have adequate allowances 
recorded, the results of operations may be negatively affected. 

The Company faces intense industry competition and downward pricing pressures. 

The EMS industry is highly fragmented and characterized by intense competition.  Many of the Company’s 
competitors have greater experience, as well as greater manufacturing, purchasing, marketing and financial 
resources than the Company.  Competition from existing or potential new competitors may have a material 
adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.  The introduction of 
lower priced competitive products, significant price reductions by the Company’s competitors or significant 
pricing pressures from its customers could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and 
results of operations. 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company has foreign operations that may pose additional risks. 

The Company has substantial manufacturing operations in multiple countries.  Therefore, the Company’s 
foreign businesses and results of operations are dependent upon numerous related factors, including the stability 
of the foreign economies, the political climate, relations with the United States, prevailing worker wages, the 
legal authority of the Company to operate and expand its business in a foreign country, and the ability to 
identify, hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in Mexico, China and Vietnam. 

The Company obtains many of its materials and components through its IPO in Taipei, Taiwan.  The 
Company’s access to these materials and components is dependent on the continued viability of its Asian 
suppliers. 

Approximately 13.0% and 14.0% of the total non-current consolidated assets of the Company are located in 
foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. 

Disclosure and internal controls may not detect all errors or fraud. 

The Company’s disclosure controls and internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance that the 
procedures will meet the control objectives.  Controls are limited in their effectiveness by human error, 
including faulty judgments in decision-making.  Further, controls can be circumvented by collusion of two or 
more people or by management override of controls.  Therefore, the Company’s management, including the 
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot conclude with certainty that the Company’s 
disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. 

Inadequate internal control over financial reporting could result in a reduction in the value of our common 
stock. 

If the Company identifies and reports a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting, 
shareholders and the Company’s lenders could lose confidence in the reliability of the Company’s financial 
statements.  This could have a material adverse impact on the value of the Company’s stock and the Company’s 
liquidity. 

There is a risk of fluctuation of various currencies integral to the Company’s operations. 

The Company purchases some of its material components and funds some of its operations in foreign 
currencies.  From time to time the currencies fluctuate against the U.S. Dollar.  Such fluctuations could have a 
material impact on the Company’s results of operations and performance.  The impact of currency fluctuations 
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of $433,742 
compared to net foreign currency gain of approximately $125,000 in the prior year.  These fluctuations are 
expected to continue and could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations.  The Company 
did not, and is not expected to, utilize derivatives or hedge foreign currencies to reduce the risk of such 
fluctuations. 

The availability of raw components or an increase in their price may affect the Company’s operations and 
profits. 

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production 
process.  Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers.  
In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single-source or 
a small number of suppliers.  The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s 
results of operations.  Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who 
have greater buying power from suppliers.  The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements 
with major or single-source suppliers, but the Company frequently places cancellable scheduled purchase orders 
with suppliers that extend out as far as one year.  The current component market place remains volatile.  During 
the last two quarters of fiscal year 2019, lead times were generally shortened but lead times for certain select 

14 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
components can still exceed 24 to 36 weeks.  The Company’s orders for components are always based on the 
changing needs of its customers. 

The Company depends on management and skilled personnel. 

The Company depends significantly on its President/CEO and other executive officers.  The Company’s 
employees generally are not bound by employment agreements and the Company cannot assure that it will 
retain its executive officers or skilled personnel.  The loss of the services of any of these key employees could 
have a material impact on the Company’s business and results of operations.  In addition, despite significant 
competition, continued growth and expansion of the Company’s EMS business will require that the Company 
attract, motivate and retain additional skilled and experienced personnel.  The Company’s future growth 
depends on the contributions and abilities of key executives and skilled, experienced employees. The 
Company’s future growth also depends on its ability to recruit and retain high-quality employees. A failure to 
obtain or retain the number of skilled employees necessary to support the Company’s efforts, a loss of key 
employees or a significant shortage of skilled, experienced employees could jeopardize its ability to meet its 
growth targets. 

Favorable labor relations are important to the Company. 

The Company currently has labor union contracts with its employees constituting approximately 48% of its 
workforce for fiscal years 2019 and 2018.  Although the Company believes its labor relations are good, any 
labor disruptions, whether union-related or otherwise, could significantly impair the Company’s business, 
substantially increase the Company’s costs or otherwise have a material impact on the Company’s results of 
operations. 

Failure to comply with environmental regulations could subject the Company to liability. 

The Company is subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, storage, discharge and 
disposal of hazardous chemicals used during its manufacturing process.  To date, the cost to the Company of 
such compliance has not had a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of 
operations.  However, there can be no assurance that violations will not occur in the future as a result of human 
error, equipment failure or other causes.  Further, the Company cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of 
environmental legislation or regulatory requirements that could be imposed or how existing or future laws or 
regulations will be administered or interpreted.  Compliance with more stringent laws or regulations, as well as 
more vigorous enforcement policies of regulatory agencies, could require substantial expenditures by the 
Company and could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of 
operations.  Any failure by the Company to comply with present or future regulations could subject it to future 
liabilities or the suspension of production which could have a material negative impact on the Company’s 
results of operations. 

Conflict minerals regulations may cause the Company to incur additional expenses and could increase the 
cost of components contained in its products and adversely affect its inventory supply chain. 

The Dodd-Frank Act, and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 
thereunder, require the Company to determine and report annually whether any conflict minerals contained in 
our products originated from the DRC or an adjoining country. The Dodd-Frank Act and these rules could affect 
our ability to source components that contain conflict minerals at acceptable prices and could impact the 
availability of conflict minerals, since there may be only a limited number of suppliers of conflict-free conflict 
minerals. Our customers may require that our products contain only conflict-free conflict minerals, and our 
revenues and margins may be negatively impacted if we are unable to meet this requirement at a reasonable 
price or are unable to pass through any increased costs associated with meeting this requirement. Additionally, 
the Company may suffer reputational harm with our customers and other stakeholders if our products are not 
conflict-free.  The Company could incur significant costs in the event we are unable to manufacture products 
that contain only conflict-free conflict minerals or to the extent that we are required to make changes to 
products, processes, or sources of supply due to the foregoing requirements or pressures. 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The price of the Company’s stock is volatile. 

The price of the Company’s common stock historically has experienced significant volatility due to fluctuations 
in the Company’s revenue and earnings, other factors relating to the Company’s operations, the market’s 
changing expectations for the Company’s growth, overall equity market conditions and other factors unrelated 
to the Company’s operations.  In addition, the limited float of the Company’s common stock and the limited 
number of market makers also affect the volatility of the Company’s common stock.  Such fluctuations are 
expected to continue in the future. 

An adverse change in the interest rates for our borrowings could adversely affect our results of operations. 

The Company pays interest on outstanding borrowings under its senior secured credit facility and certain other 
long-term debt obligations at interest rates that fluctuate.  An adverse change in the Company’s interest rates 
could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations. 

Changes in securities laws and regulations may increase costs. 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and listing 
requirements subsequently adopted by Nasdaq in response to Sarbanes-Oxley, have required changes in 
corporate governance practices, internal control policies and securities disclosure and compliance practices of 
public companies.  More recently the Dodd-Frank Act requires changes to our corporate governance, 
compliance practices and securities disclosures.  Compliance following the implementation of these rules has 
increased our legal, financial and accounting costs.  The Company expects increased costs related to these new 
regulations to continue, including, but not limited to, legal, financial and accounting costs.  These developments 
may result in the Company having difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified members of the board or 
qualified officers.  Further, the costs associated with the compliance with and implementation of procedures 
under these laws and related rules could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. 

Any litigation, even where a claim is without merit, could result in substantial costs and diversion of 
resources. 

In the past, the Company has been notified of claims relating to various matters including intellectual property 
rights, contractual matters, labor issues or other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.  In the event 
of any such claim, the Company may be required to spend a significant amount of money and resources, even 
where the claim is without merit.  Accordingly, the resolution of such disputes, even those encountered in the 
ordinary course of business, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated 
financial conditions and results of operations. 

If the security of the Company’s systems is breached or otherwise subjected to unauthorized access, the 
Company’s reputation may be severely harmed and it may be exposed to liability. 

The Company’s system stores confidential information which includes its financial information, its customers’ 
proprietary email distribution lists, product information, supplier information, and other critical data.  Any 
accidental or willful security breach or other unauthorized access could expose the Company to liability for the 
loss of such information, adverse regulatory action by federal and state governments, time-consuming and 
expensive litigation and other possible liabilities as well as negative publicity, which could severely damage the 
Company’s reputation.  If security measures are breached because of third-party action, employee error, 
malfeasance or otherwise, or if design flaws in its software are exposed and exploited, and, as a result, a third 
party obtains unauthorized access to any of the Company’s customer data, its relationships with its customers 
may be severely damaged, and the Company could incur significant liability.  Because techniques used to obtain 
unauthorized access or to sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not recognized until they are 
launched against a target, the Company and its third-party hosting facilities may be unable to anticipate these 
techniques or to implement adequate preventive measures.  In addition, many states have enacted laws requiring 
companies to notify customers of data security breaches involving their data.  These mandatory disclosures 
regarding a security breach often lead to widespread negative publicity, which may cause the Company’s 
customers to lose confidence in the effectiveness of its data security measures.  Any security breach whether 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
actual or perceived, could harm the Company’s reputation, could cause it to lose customers and may negatively 
impact its ability to acquire new customers. 

With the increased use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, a company is susceptible to 
operational, information security and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks 
or unintentional events. Cyberattacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital 
systems (e.g., through “hacking” or malicious software coding) for purposes of misappropriating assets or 
sensitive information, corrupting data, or causing operational disruption (e.g., ransomware attacks). 
Cyberattacks may also be carried out in a manner that does not require gaining unauthorized access, such as 
causing denial-of-service attacks on websites (i.e., efforts to make network services unavailable to intended 
users). Cyber incidents affecting the Company or its service providers have the ability to cause disruptions and 
impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Company’s ability to 
conduct business in the ordinary course, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, 
penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, additional compliance costs and, in 
extreme cases, have caused companies to cease doing business. Cyber events also can affect counterparties or 
entities with which the Company does business, governmental and other regulatory authorities, banks, insurance 
companies and other financial institutions, among others. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred in order 
to prevent any cyber incidents in the future. While the Company has established risk management systems to 
prevent such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such systems including the possibility that the 
Company has not prepared for certain risks that have not been or are not possible to have been identified. 
Further, the Company may be able to influence, but cannot control, the cyber security plans and systems put in 
place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Company. The 
Company could be negatively impacted as a result.  

Changes in U.S. trade policy, including the imposition of tariffs and the resulting consequences, may have a 
material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.  

The U.S. government has indicated its intent to adopt a new approach to trade policy and in some cases to 
renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements.  It has also 
initiated tariffs on certain foreign goods, including steel and aluminum and other raw materials utilized by the 
Company.  Changes in U.S. trade policy could result in one or more of the U.S.’ trading partners adopting 
responsive trade policy making it more difficult or costly for the Company to import our products from those 
countries.  This in turn could require us to increase prices to our customers which may reduce demand, or, if we 
are unable to increase prices, result in a lower margin on products sold. 

China and the European Union have imposed tariffs on U.S. products in retaliation for new U.S. tariffs.  
Additional tariffs could be imposed by China and the European Union in response to proposed increased tariffs 
on products imported from China and the European Union.  There is also a concern that the imposition of 
additional tariffs by the United States could result in the adoption of additional tariffs by other countries.  The 
resulting trade war could have a significant adverse effect on world trade and the world economy.  To the extent 
that trade tariffs and other restrictions imposed by the United States increase the price of, or limit the amount of 
steel, aluminum and other raw materials utilized by the Company imported into the United States, the costs of 
our raw materials may be adversely affected and the demand from our customers for products and services may 
be diminished, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability. 

We cannot predict future trade policy or the terms of any renegotiated trade agreements and their impact on our 
business.  The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental 
action related to tariffs or trade agreements or policies has the potential to adversely impact demand for our 
products, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could adversely impact 
our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Overview  

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of EMS, which includes printed 
circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products.  In connection with the 
production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic 
and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and 
test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; and (6) assistance in 
obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies.  The Company provides these 
manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, 
China, Vietnam and Taiwan. 

20 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production 
process.  Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers.  
In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single-source or 
a small number of suppliers.  In the past twelve months the component marketplace has experienced shortages 
of various components, which in some cases has delayed delivery of product to customers.  The loss of any such 
suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.  Further, the Company could 
operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers.  
The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers.  The 
Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the 
Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers. 

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance.  Sales levels can vary 
considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (turnkey versus consignment) 
rendered by the Company and the demand by customers.  Consignment orders require the Company to perform 
manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges 
only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit.  In the case of turnkey orders, the Company 
provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly.  Turnkey 
contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the 
cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold.  Variations in the number of turnkey 
orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross 
margin levels.  Consignment orders accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s revenues for each of the fiscal 
years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018. 

The Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to 
manufacture in China, Mexico, Vietnam or the U.S.  We believe this strategy will continue to serve the 
Company well as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies. 

As the Company enters fiscal 2020, uncertainty remains pervasive in the market.  The trade war with China 
weighs heavily on the Company’s operations.  Customers are continuing to re-evaluate their supply chains and 
the uncertainty regarding trade policy remains a difficult variable to manage.  The Company has seen the 
electronic component marketplace calm down modestly.  The primary change is a shortening of lead-time for 
some components, which assists in lowering inventory and reacting more efficiently to the volatility of 
customer demand requirements. 

The Company believes it is heading into fiscal year 2020 with a solid plan and some appealing new 
opportunities ahead of it.  Current customers are launching new programs and several new customers are 
starting to ramp production.  However, the labor markets remain tight.  The Company’s focus will remain on 
reducing inventory levels and increasing cash flows as the trade volatility remains.  The Company is optimistic 
regarding the fiscal year ahead of it and if the trade wars are resolved, it would appear that there is some 
additional upside available for fiscal year 2020.  

Critical Accounting Policies: 

Management Estimates and Uncertainties - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in 

conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the 
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates made in 
preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for 
doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory, lower of cost or market adjustment for inventory, contingent 
consideration, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance for deferred taxes and valuation of 
goodwill and long-lived assets.  Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. 

Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services are 
transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to 
in exchange for those goods or services.  The Company’s primary performance obligation to its customers is the 
production of finished goods electronic assembly products pursuant to purchase orders.  The Company has 

21 

 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
concluded that control of the products it sells and transfers to its customers and an enforceable right to receive 
payment is customarily established at the point in time when the finished goods are shipped to its customers, or 
in some cases delivered pursuant to the specified shipping terms of each customer arrangement.  With respect to 
consignment arrangements, control transfers and revenue is recognized at the point in time when the goods are 
shipped to the customer from the consignment location or when delivered to the customer (pursuant to agreed 
upon shipping terms).  In those limited instances where finished goods delivered to the customer location are 
stored in a segregated area which are not controlled by the customer (title transfer, etc.) until they are pulled 
from the segregated area and consumed by the Company’s customer, revenue is recognized upon consumption.  
For tooling services, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at the point in time when the customer 
takes possession of dies or molds.  For engineering, design, and testing services, the Company’s performance 
obligations are satisfied over time as the respective services are rendered as its customers simultaneously derive 
value from the Company’s performance.  From the time that a customer purchase order is received and contract 
is established, the Company’s performance obligations are typically fulfilled within a few weeks.  The 
Company does not have any performance obligations that require more than one year to fulfill. 

Each customer purchase order sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under that 
arrangement.  The Company evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers and exercises judgment to 
recognize revenue based upon the amount the Company expects to be paid for each sales transaction it enters 
into with its customers.  Some customer arrangements include variable consideration, such as volume rebates, 
some of which depend upon the Company’s customers meeting specified performance criteria, such as a 
purchasing level over a period of time.  The Company exercises judgment to estimate the most likely amount of 
variable consideration at each reporting date. 

Inventories - Inventories are valued at cost.  Cost is determined by an average cost method and the 
Company allocates labor and overhead to work-in-process and finished goods.  In the event of an inventory 
write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value.  The 
Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory.  The 
Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured 
usage or loss.  The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between 
the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and 
market conditions.  For convenience, the Company records these inventory reserves against the inventory cost 
through a contra asset rather than through a new cost basis.  Upon a subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired 
inventory, the corresponding reserve is relieved to ensure the cost basis of the inventory reflects any reductions.  
Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of 
products sold as the inventory is sold or otherwise relieved. 

Intangible Assets - Intangible assets are comprised of finite life intangible assets including patents, 
trade names, backlog, non-compete agreements, and customer relationships.  Finite life intangible assets are 
amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 years for patents, 20 years for trade 
names, 1 year for backlog and 7 years for non-compete agreements except for customer relationships which are 
amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful life of 15 years. 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable 

intangible assets, for impairment.  Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets are 
reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment.  If events or 
changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company first performs an impairment 
review based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived 
assets are largely independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities.  This analysis requires management 
judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, 
revenue and expense growth rates.  If the carrying value exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, the Company 
records an impairment, if any, for the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset group and its 
carrying value.  The Company further conducts annual reviews for idle and underutilized equipment, and 
reviews business plans for possible impairment.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company 
determined that the carrying value of the trade name intangible asset was not recoverable and recorded a fourth 
quarter charge of $690,107 for the entire carrying amount.  The Company’s analysis for fiscal year 2019 did not 
indicate that any of its other long-lived assets were impaired.  

22 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Income Tax - The Company’s income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and reserves for 

unrecognized tax benefits reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid.  The 
Company is subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions.  Significant judgments 
and estimates by management are required in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and 
tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be 
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its 
deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive 
and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, 
tax planning strategies and recent financial operations.  In projecting future taxable income, the Company 
begins with historical results and changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the 
amount of future state, federal and foreign pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and 
the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies.  These assumptions require significant 
judgment and estimates by management about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the 
plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying businesses.  In evaluating the objective 
evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of cumulative operating income 
and/or loss.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an 
amount more likely than not to be realized.  The Company’s valuation allowance was $1,294,605 and $78,100 
as of April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively. 

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of 
complex tax laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations.  Changes in tax 
laws and rates could also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future.  Except as noted below, 
management is not aware of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of 
operations, cash flows or financial position. 

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may only be recognized when it is more likely than not that the 
position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, 
based on the technical merits. 

The Company adjusts its tax liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new 
information not previously available.  Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate 
resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from its current estimate of the tax liabilities.  
These differences will be reflected as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they 
are determined. 

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2018 financial 

statements to conform to the 2019 presentation.  There was no change to net income.

Net sales increased 4.5% to $290,553,951 in fiscal year 2019 from $278,131,709 in the prior year.  The 
Company’s sales increased in fiscal year 2019 in industrial electronics and medical/life science marketplaces as 
compared to the prior year.  The increase in sales dollars for these marketplaces was partially offset by a 
decrease in sales dollars in the consumer electronics marketplace.  Revenues started an upward trend during the 
fourth fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2019.   

The Company’s sales in a particular industry are driven by the fluctuating forecasts and end-market demand of 
the customers within that industry.  Sales to customers are subject to variations from period to period depending 
on customer order cancellations, the life cycle of customer products and product transition.  Sales to the 
Company’s five largest customers accounted for 49.7% and 50.2% of net sales for fiscal years 2019 and 2018, 
respectively. 

Gross profit decreased to $26,341,769, or 9.1% of net sales, in fiscal year 2019 compared to $26,602,918 or 
9.6% of net sales, in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in gross profit dollars for fiscal year 2019 was primarily 
the result of margin pressures from both customers and vendors and product mix.  Margin pressures continue 
from both customers and vendors.  However, price increases were implemented in fiscal year 2019 for some 
customers. 

Selling and administrative expenses increased in fiscal year 2019 to $23,263,117, or 8.0% of net sales compared 
to $23,089,939, or 8.3% of net sales, in fiscal year 2018.  The increase in selling and administrative dollars was 
attributable to sales salaries, bad debt expense, general insurance, accounting professional fees and financing 
fees.  The increase in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in 
legal professional fees, bonus expense and other general administrative expenses.  Selling and administrative 
expenses decreased as a percent of net sales due to an increase in net sales in fiscal year 2019 compared to the 
prior year.   

During fiscal year 2018, the Company recorded a goodwill and intangible asset impairment in the amount of 
$3,913,006 and the write off of the account receivable and note receivable related to a customer in the amount 
of $2,509,423.  See Note E - Related Parties and Note G - Intangible Asset. 

Other income increased in fiscal year 2019 to $200,946 compared to other income of $144,574 in the prior 
fiscal year.  The increase in other income is due to the Company recording in fiscal year 2019 an earn-out based 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
on sales by Wagz in the amount of $91,920 to other income.  However, the $91,920 was reserved as bad debt at 
April 30, 2019.  

Interest expense, net, increased to $2,413,297 in fiscal year 2019 compared to $1,537,446 in fiscal year 2018.  
Interest expense increased primarily due to the increased borrowings under the Company’s banking 
arrangements and mortgage obligations.   

In fiscal year 2019, the Company had an income tax expense of $1,731,415 compared to an income tax benefit 
of $1,060,452 in fiscal year 2018.  The effective rate for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 
2018 was 199.86% and 24.6%, respectively. The increase in income tax expense as well as the accompanying 
change in the effective tax rate is the result of the valuation allowance established on certain deferred tax assets 
related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards that more likely than not will not be realized based on 
projected income in those jurisdictions and the impact of foreign currency remeasurement. 

The Company reported a net loss of $865,114 in fiscal year 2019 compared to a net loss of $3,241,870 for fiscal 
year 2018.  Basic and diluted loss per share for fiscal year 2019 were $0.20 each, compared to basic and diluted 
loss per share of $0.77 each for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources: 

Operating Activities. 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $1,619,500 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, compared to 
cash flow used in operating activities of $4,968,479 for the prior fiscal year.  Cash flow used in operating 
activities was primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable in the amount of $5,134,297, a decrease 
in accounts payable of $3,699,388 and the reported net loss.  The increase in accounts receivable is the result of 
increased sales and the timing of payments.  Cash flow used in operating activities was partially offset by a 
decrease in inventory. 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $4,968,479 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.  Cash flow used 
in operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventory in the amount of $13,415,555.  The 
increase in inventory is the result of an increase in customer orders and in some cases orders being pushed out.  
Further, capacity issues in the component industry made it difficult to obtain some components to complete 
assemblies for shipping.  Cash flow used in operating activities was partially offset by the result of an increase

In fiscal year 2019, the Company purchased in cash $2,361,629 in machinery and equipment to be used in the 
ordinary course of business.  The Company has received forecasts from current customers for increased 
business that would require additional investment in capital equipment and facilities.  To the extent that these 
forecasts come to fruition, the Company anticipates that it will make additional machinery and equipment 
purchases up to $6,000,000 in fiscal year 2020.  The Company anticipates purchases will be funded by lease 
transactions.  However, there is no assurance that such increased business will be obtained or that the Company 
will be able to obtain funding or leases at acceptable terms, if at all, in the future. 

In fiscal year 2018, the Company purchased in cash $3,731,370 in machinery and equipment to be used in the 
ordinary course of business.  The Company purchases were funded by the bank line of credit and lease 
transactions.

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a $35,000,000 senior secured credit facility with U.S. Bank, 
which expires on March 31, 2022.  The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s 
domestically located assets. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may 
borrow funds:  the bank fixed rate of five percent or LIBOR plus one and one half percent (effectively 4.09% at 
April 30, 2019).  Interest is due monthly.  Under the senior secured credit facility, the Company may borrow up 
to the lesser of (i) $35,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable plus a 
percentage of the eligible inventory (the “Borrowing Base”).   

On July 16, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving line of credit under 
the senior secured credit facility.  The amended revolving credit facility allows the Company to borrow up to 
the lesser of (i) $45,000,000 (the “Revolving Line Cap”) less reserves or (ii) the Borrowing Base, but no more 
than 90% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap, except that the 90% limitation will expire if the Company’s 
actual revolving loans for 90 consecutive days after the amendment’s effective date are less than 80% of the 
Company’s Borrowing Base and the Company maintains a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for four 
consecutive quarters.  The amendment also imposes sublimits on categories of inventory equal to $10,500,000 
on raw materials, $10,000,000 on finished goods and $28,000,000 on all eligible inventory.   

On December 13, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  
The amendment provides an exception to otherwise ineligible foreign receivables for up to $3,000,000 of 
receivables paid by certain enumerated account debtors outside of the U.S. and Canada. 

On March 22, 2019, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  
The amendment allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the Revolving Line Cap less reserves or 
(ii) the Borrowing Base, but no more than 95% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap until August 1, 2019 and 
90% on and after August 1, 2019.  As of April 30, 2019, there was $35,727,212 outstanding and $6,645,730 of 
unused availability under the U.S. Bank facility compared to an outstanding balance of $29,279,631 and

purchase of equipment. The terms of these secured note agreements mature from November 2021 through May 
2023, with quarterly installment payments ranging from $11,045 to $37,941 and a fixed interest rate ranging

agreements with a gross cost of $13,034,503. The terms of the lease agreements mature through January 2023

approximately 117,000 square feet of manufacturing and office space.  Under the terms of the lease agreement,

27 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
are being amortized over the life of the lease.  The balance of deferred rent at April 30, 2019, was $318,568 
compared to $447,073 at April 30, 2018.

Other 

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to 
operate its wholly-owned Mexican, Vietnamese and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan IPO.  The Company 
provides funding in U.S. Dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Dong, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars.  
The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a 
material impact on the financial results of the Company.  The impact of currency fluctuations for the fiscal year 
ended April 30, 2019, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $433,742 compared 
to net foreign currency gains of $125,000 in the prior year.  In fiscal year 2019, the Company paid 
approximately $53,090,000 to its foreign subsidiaries. 

The Company anticipates that its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources are adequate 
to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for fiscal year 2020. In addition, in the event 
the Company desires to expand its operations, its business grows more rapidly than expected, the current 
economic climate deteriorates, customers delay payments, or the Company desires to consummate an 
acquisition, additional financing resources may be necessary in the current or future fiscal years.  There is no 
assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms, or at all, in the 
future.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the 
future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. 

The impact of inflation on the Company’s net sales, revenues and income from operations for the past two fiscal 
years has been minimal.

The Company’s management, including its President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined 
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-
15(e) thereunder) as of April 30, 2019.  The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to 
provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and its President and Chief Executive Officer and 
Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the 
reasonable assurance level as of April 30, 2019. 

Internal Controls: 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over 
financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f).  The Company’s internal controls 
over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  Under 
the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer 
and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control 
over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (1992) issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  On May 14, 2013, COSO issued an 
updated version of its Internal Control - Integrated Framework (the “2013 Framework”) which officially 
superseded the 1992 Framework on December 15, 2014.  Originally issued in 1992, the framework helps 
organizations design, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of internal control concepts and simplify their 
use and application.  Neither COSO, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory body has 
mandated adoption of the 2013 Framework by a specified date. The Company implemented the 2013 
Framework in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2018.  Based on the Company’s evaluation, management concluded 
that its internal controls over financial reporting were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of April 30, 
2019. 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm 
regarding internal control over financial reporting.  Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the 
Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission 
that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report. 

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal year 
ended April 30, 2019, that has materially affected or is reasonably likely to materially affect its internal control 
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

Stockholders and Board of Directors  
SigmaTron International, Inc. 
Elk Grove Village, Illinois 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements  

We  have  audited  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets  of  Sigmatron  International,  Inc.  and 
subsidiaries  (the  “Company”)  as  of  April  30,  2019  and  2018,  the  related  consolidated  statements  of 
operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes 
(collectively  referred  to  as  the  “consolidated  financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated 
financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at April 
30, 2019 and 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended, 
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

Basis for Opinion 

These  consolidated  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company’s  management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our 
audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board 
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance 
with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we 
plan  and  perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  consolidated  financial 
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required 
to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part 
of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not 
for  the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over 
financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 
financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. 
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the 
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and 
significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well  as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of  the 
consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

BDO USA, LLP 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2006.

NOTE A - DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS 

SigmaTron International, Inc., its subsidiaries, foreign enterprises and international procurement office (collectively, 
the “Company”) operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services 
(“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products.  
In  connection  with  the  production  of  assembled  products,  the  Company  also  provides  services  to  its  customers, 
including  (1)  automatic  and  manual  assembly  and  testing  of  products;  (2)  material  sourcing  and  procurement;  (3) 
manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; and (6) 
assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies.  As of April 30, 2019, the 
Company provided these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United 
States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.  Approximately 13.0% and 14.0% of the total non-current consolidated 
assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as of April 30, 2019 and 2018, 
respectively. 

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES  

Consolidation Policy 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  and  transactions  of  SigmaTron  International,  Inc. 
(“SigmaTron”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A., AbleMex S.A. de C.V., Digital 
Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd., Spitfire Controls (Cayman) Co. 
Ltd. and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Suzhou SigmaTron Electronics Co. 
Ltd.,  and  SigmaTron  Electronic  Technology  Co.,  Ltd.  (collectively,  “SigmaTron  China”),  and  its  international 
procurement  office,  SigmaTron  Taiwan.    The  functional  currency  of  the  Mexican,  Vietnamese  and  Chinese 
subsidiaries and procurement branch is the U.S. Dollar.  Intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated 
financial statements.  The impact of currency fluctuations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, resulted in net 
foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $433,742 compared to net foreign currency gains of $125,000 in 
the prior year.   

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 
the  United  States  of  America  (“GAAP”)  requires  management  to  make  estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the 
reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities  and  disclosures  of  contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the 
consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  
Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization 
periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory, lower of cost or net realizable value for inventory, 
contingent consideration, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, valuation allowance for deferred taxes and valuation 
of long-lived assets.  Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities within 
three months of the purchase date.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 

Accounts Receivable 

The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from companies in the industrial electronics, consumer 
electronics  and  medical/life  sciences  industries.    Credit  is  extended  based  on  evaluation  of  a  customer’s  financial 
condition, and,  generally, collateral is  not required.   Accounts receivable are due in accordance  with agreed upon 
terms, and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Accounts outstanding 
longer than the contractual payments terms are considered past due.  The Company writes off accounts receivable 
when they are determined to be uncollectible. 

The Company has arrangements with various financial institutions to sell certain eligible accounts receivable balances 
from specific customers without recourse. The accounts receivable balances sold are at the election of the Company.  
The  Company  incurred  fees  for  such  sales,  which  are  reflected  as  selling  and  administrative  expenses  on  the 
Company’s income statement and were not material for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019 or April 30, 2018.  The 
accounts  receivable  balances  are  derecognized  at  the  time  of  sale,  as  the  Company  does  not  have  continuing 
involvement after the point of sale.  During the years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, the Company sold 
without recourse trade receivables of approximately $77,000,000 and $78,000,000, respectively. Cash proceeds from 
these agreements are reflected as operating activities included in the change in accounts receivable in the Company's 
consolidated statements of cash flows. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts relates to receivables not expected to be collected from its customers.  
This allowance is based on management’s assessment of specific customer balances, considering the age of receivables 
and financial stability of the customer and a five year average of prior uncollectible amounts.  If there is an adverse 
change in the financial condition of the Company’s customers, or if actual defaults are higher than provided for, an 
addition to the allowance may be necessary. 

Inventories  

Inventories are valued at cost.  Cost is determined by an average cost method and the Company allocates labor and 
overhead  to  work-in-process  and  finished  goods.    In  the  event  of  an  inventory  write-down,  the  Company  records 
expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or net realizable value.  The Company establishes inventory reserves 
for shrinkage and excess and obsolete inventory.  The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on 
historical  experience  to  account  for  unmeasured  usage  or  loss.    The  Company  records  provisions  for  excess  and 
obsolete  inventories  for  the  difference  between  the  cost  of  inventory  and  its  estimated  realizable  value  based  on 
assumptions  about  future  product  demand  and  market  conditions.    For  convenience,  the  Company  records  these 
inventory reserves against the inventory cost through a contra asset rather than through a new cost basis.  Upon a 
subsequent sale or disposal of the impaired inventory, the corresponding reserve is relieved to ensure the cost basis of 
the  inventory  reflects  any  reductions.    Actual  results  differing  from  these  estimates  could  significantly  affect  the 
Company’s inventories and cost of products sold as the inventory is sold or otherwise relieved.

Property, Machinery and Equipment 

Property,  machinery and equipment are valued at cost.  The Company provides for depreciation and amortization 
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets: 

Buildings  
Machinery and equipment  
Office equipment and software 
Tools and dies 
Leasehold improvements 

20 years 
5-12 years 
3-5 years 
12 months 
lesser of lease term or useful life 

Expenses for repairs and maintenance are charged to selling and administrative expenses as incurred. 

Deferred Financing Costs 

Deferred financing costs consist of costs incurred to obtain the Company’s long-term debt and are amortized using 
the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.  Deferred financing fees of $303,310 and $319,332 net 
of  accumulated  amortization  of  $166,689  and  $75,585,  respectively,  as  of  April  30,  2019  and  April  30,  2018, 
respectively, are deducted from long term debt on the Company’s balance sheet. 

Income Taxes 

The  Company’s  income  tax  expense,  deferred  tax  assets  and  liabilities  and  reserves  for unrecognized  tax  benefits 
reflect management’s best assessment of estimated future taxes to be paid.  The Company is subject to income taxes 
in both the U.S. and several foreign jurisdictions.  Significant judgments and estimates by management are required 
in determining the consolidated income tax expense assessment. 

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax 
basis of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect 
when the differences are expected to reverse.  In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred tax assets 
within the jurisdiction from which they arise, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, 
including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and 
recent  financial  operations.    In  projecting  future  taxable  income,  the  Company  begins  with  historical  results  and 
changes in accounting policies, and incorporates assumptions including the amount of future state, federal and foreign 
pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences, and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax 
planning strategies.  These assumptions require significant judgment and estimates by management about the forecasts 
of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company uses to manage the underlying 
businesses.  In evaluating the objective evidence that historical results provide, the Company considers three years of 
cumulative operating income and/or loss.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred 
income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized. 

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may only be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position 
will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the 
technical merits. 

The calculation of the Company’s tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax 
laws and regulations in a multitude of jurisdictions across its global operations.  Changes in tax laws and rates could 
also affect recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the future.  Except as noted below, management is not aware 
of any such changes that would have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial 
position.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED 
April 30, 2019 and 2018 

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 

Income Taxes - Continued 

The Company adjusts its tax liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not 
previously available.  Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a 
payment that is materially different from its current estimate of the tax liabilities.  These differences will be reflected 
as increases or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined. 

Earnings per Share 

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) (the numerator) by the weighted-average number 
of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is 
similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number 
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents 
such as stock options and restricted stock, had been exercised or vested.  There were 53,309 and 109,402 anti-dilutive 
common stock equivalents at April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively, which have been excluded from the 
calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Revenue Recognition 

The Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to its customers, in 
an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.  
The  Company’s  primary  performance  obligation  to  its  customers  is  the  production  of  finished  goods  electronic 
assembly products pursuant to purchase orders.  The Company has concluded that control of the products it sells and 
transfers to its customers and an enforceable right to receive payment is customarily established at the point in time 
when the finished goods are shipped to its customers, or in some cases delivered pursuant to the specified shipping 
terms of each customer arrangement.  With respect to consignment arrangements, control transfers and revenue is 
recognized at the point in time when the goods are shipped to the customer from the consignment location or when 
delivered to the customer (pursuant to agreed upon shipping terms).  In those limited instances where finished goods 
delivered  to  the  customer  location  are  stored  in  a  segregated  area  which  are  not  controlled  by  the  customer  (title 
transfer, etc.) until they are pulled from the segregated area and consumed by the Company’s customer, revenue is 
recognized upon consumption.  For tooling services, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied at the point 
in  time  when  the  customer  takes  possession  of  dies  or  molds.    For  engineering,  design,  and  testing  services,  the 
Company’s performance obligations are satisfied over time as the respective services are rendered as its customers

simultaneously  derive  value  from  the  Company’s  performance.    From  the  time  that  a  customer  purchase  order  is 
received and contract is established, the Company’s performance obligations are typically fulfilled within a few weeks.  
The Company does not have any performance obligations that require more than one year to fulfill. 

Each customer purchase order sets forth the transaction price for the products and services purchased under that 
arrangement.  The Company evaluates the credit worthiness of its customers and exercises judgment to recognize 
revenue based upon the amount the Company expects to be paid for each sales transaction it enters into with its 
customers.  Some customer arrangements include variable consideration, such as volume rebates, some of which 
depend upon the Company’s customers meeting specified performance criteria, such as a purchasing level over a 
period of time.  The Company exercises judgment to estimate the most likely amount of variable consideration at 
each reporting date. 

The Company’s typical payment terms are 30 days and its sales arrangements do not contain any significant financing 
component for its customers.  The Company’s customer arrangements do not generate contract assets or liabilities that 
are material to the consolidated financial statements.  The Company generally provides a warranty for workmanship, 
unless  the  assembly  was  designed  by  the  Company,  in  which  case  it  warrants  assembly/design.    The  Company 
assembles  and  tests  assemblies  based  on  customers’  specifications  prior  to  shipment.    Historically,  the  amount  of 
returns  for  workmanship  issues  has  been  de  minimis  under  the  Company’s  standard  or extended  warranties.    The 
Company does not provide its customers the option to purchase additional warranties and, therefore, the Company’s 
warranties are not considered a separate service or performance obligation. 

The  Company  utilizes  the  practical  expedient  to  treat  shipping  and  handling  activities  after  the  customer  obtains 
control  as  fulfillment  activities.    The  Company  records  shipping  and  handling  costs  as  selling  and  administrative 
expenses and costs are accrued when revenue is recognized.   

The Company pays sales commissions to its sales representatives which may be considered as incremental costs to 
obtain a contract. However, since the recoverability period is less than one year, the Company utilizes the practical 
expedient provided by the new revenue recognition accounting standard that allows an entity to expense the costs of 
obtaining a contract as incurred.  

During the twelve months of fiscal year 2019, no revenues were recognized from performance obligations satisfied or 
partially  satisfied  in  previous  periods  and  no  amounts  were  allocated  to  performance  obligations  that  remain 
unsatisfied  or  partially  unsatisfied  at  April  30,  2019.    The  Company  is  electing  not  to  disclose  the  value  of  the 
remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by the practical expedient 
in ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.”  The Company had no material remaining unsatisfied 
performance obligations as of April 30, 2019, with an expected duration of greater than one year.

Shipping and Handling Costs 

The  Company  records  shipping  and  handling  costs  for  goods  shipped  to  customers  as  selling  and  administrative 
expenses.  Customers are typically invoiced for shipping costs and such amounts are included in net sales.  Shipping 
and handling costs were not material to the financial statements for fiscal years 2019 or 2018. 

Fair Value Measurements 

Fair value measurements are determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to 
transfer  a  liability  in  an  orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  exclusive  of  any  transaction  costs.    The 
Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques as follows: 

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; 
Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and 
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop 
its own assumptions. 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments 

The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, note receivable, other 
receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses which approximate fair value at April 30, 2019 and April 30, 
2018, due to their short-term nature.  The carrying amounts of the Company’s debt obligations approximate fair value 
based on future payments discounted at current interest rates for similar obligations or interest rates which fluctuate 
with the market. 

The Company  measured the  contingent consideration included in the fiscal 2013 Spitfire Control, Inc. acquisition 
under  the  fair  value  standard  (primarily  using  level  3  measurement  inputs).    The  contingent  consideration  was 
measured and reported at fair value at each period end.  The Company currently does not have any other non-financial 
assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. 

The Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”) whereby the Company sold assets 
to Wagz for $350,000 cash, 600,000 shares of Wagz Class C Common Stock and an earn-out based on sales by Wagz 
generated from use of the assets through July 31, 2022.  The earn-out is $6.00 per unit of a product specified in the 
asset purchase agreement and any upgrade to such product.  The fair value of the non-cash consideration at April 30, 
2019, is $600,000 for the 600,000 shares of Wagz common stock.

Goodwill 

Goodwill  represents  the  purchase  price  in  excess  of  the  fair  value  of  assets  acquired  in  business  combinations.  
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles – 
Goodwill  and  Other,”  requires  the  Company  to  assess  goodwill  and  other  indefinite-lived  intangible  assets  for 
impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator 
of possible impairment.  The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether 
the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting 
unit  is  less  than  its  corresponding  carrying  value.    If,  after  assessing  the  totality  of  events  and  circumstances,  the 
Company  concludes  that  it  is  not  more  likely  than  not  that  the  fair  value  of  any  reporting  unit  is  less  than  its 
corresponding carrying value, then the Company is not required to take further action.  However, if the Company 
concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test, including computing the fair value 
of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value (the “step 2” requirement).  If the fair value is less 
than  its  carrying  value,  a  second  step  of  the  test  is  required  to  determine  if  recorded  goodwill  is  impaired.    The 
Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for goodwill in any period and proceed directly to 
performing  the  quantitative  impairment  test.    The  Company  will  be  able  to  resume  performing  the  qualitative 
assessment in any subsequent period.   

For fiscal year 2018, the Company early adopted the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 
2017-04,  “Intangibles-Goodwill  and  Other  (Topic  350):  Simplifying  the  Test  for  Goodwill  Impairment,”  which 
removes the step 2 requirement to perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment.  
Beginning with the Company’s February 1, 2018 goodwill impairment testing, goodwill impairment is the amount by 
which the Company’s single reporting unit carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the recorded amount 
of goodwill.  To estimate the fair value of the Company’s equity, the Company used both a market approach based on 
the  guideline  companies’  method,  and  an  income  approach  based  on  a  discounted  cash  flow  analysis.    The  value 
indicated by both methods was weighted to arrive at a concluded value.  The Company’s fiscal year 2018 assessment 
concluded that the carrying value of the Company’s equity  was greater than the  fair value of the Company by an 
amount greater than the recorded amount of the goodwill and the Company recognized a full goodwill impairment 
charge of $3,222,899.  

Intangible Assets 

Intangible assets are comprised of finite life intangible assets including patents, trade names, backlog, non-compete 
agreements, and customer relationships.  Finite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their 
estimated useful lives of 5 years for patents, 20 years for trade names, 1 year for backlog and 7 years for non-compete 
agreements except for customer relationships which are amortized on an accelerated basis over their estimated useful 
life of 15 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets  

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets, for impairment in accordance with 
FASB AC 360: Property, Plant and Equipment.  Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets 
are  reviewed  whenever  events  or  changes  in  circumstances  occur  that  indicate  possible  impairment.    If  events  or 
changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company first performs an impairment review 
based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely 
independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities.  This analysis requires management judgment with respect to 
changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates.  
If  the  carrying  value  exceeds  the  undiscounted  cash  flows,  the  Company  records  an  impairment,  if  any,  for  the 
difference between the estimated fair value of the asset group and its carrying value.  The Company further conducts 
annual  reviews  for  idle  and  underutilized  equipment,  and  reviews  business  plans  for  possible  impairment.    In  the 
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018, the Company determined that the carrying value of the trade name intangible asset 
was not recoverable and recorded a fourth quarter charge of $690,107 for the entire carrying amount.  The Company’s 
analysis for fiscal year 2019 did not indicate that any of its other long-lived assets were impaired. 

Settlement of Receivable, Related Sale of Assets and Investments 

As more fully described in Note E – Related Parties, the Company has recorded an investment in Wagz, a privately 
held company whose equity does not have a readily determinable fair value.  As permitted by ASC 321, Investments 
- Equity Securities, paragraph 321-35-2, the Company has elected to carry its investment in Wagz equity at its cost 
minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for 
identical or a similar investment of the  same issuer until the investment no longer qualifies to be  measured under 
paragraph 321-35-2.  The balance at fiscal year ended April 30, 2018 was $600,000 which is recorded under other 
assets.  At April 30, 2019, the Company continued to recognize the fair value of the Wagz common stock at $600,000; 
it reduced the fair  market of  the Wagz inventory by $109,046 and it reserved as bad debt the Wagz total account 
receivable of $331,283. 

Stock Incentive Plans 

Under the Company’s stock option plans, options to acquire shares of common stock have been made available for 
grant to certain employees and directors.  Each option granted has an exercise price of  not less  than 100% of the 
market value of the common stock on the date of grant.  The contractual life of each option is generally 10 years.  The 
vesting of the grants varies according to the individual options granted.  The Company measures the cost of employee 
services received in exchange for an equity award based on the grant date fair value and records that cost over the 
respective vesting period of the award. 

Reclassifications 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2018 financial statements to conform to the 2019 
presentation.  There was no change to net income. 

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements 

During the quarter ended April 30, 2019, the Company identified mechanical errors in its calculation of borrowings 
and payments under its revolving line of credit presented in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company 
assessed the materiality of these errors considering both qualitative and quantitative factors and determined that for 
the year ended April 30, 2018, the three month periods ended July 31, 2018 and July 31, 2017, the six month periods 
ended October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017, and the nine month periods ended January 31, 2019 and January 31, 
2018, the errors were immaterial. The Company decided to correct these immaterial errors as revisions to previously 
issued financial statements and will revise the Forms 10-Q when filed in succeeding periods of the next fiscal year.

New Accounting Standards 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers (Topic  606)”  which  supersedes  the  revenue  recognition  requirements  in  ASC  605,  “Revenue 
Recognition.”  The guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled 
for the transfer of promised goods or services to a customer, and replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance 
in U.S. GAAP.  The Company adopted the ASU on May 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method.  
Under the modified retrospective transition method, the cumulative effect of applying ASC 606 to all contracts that 
are not completed as of the date of adoption is recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings 
(if  applicable)  while  the  comparative  periods  are  not  restated  and  continue  to  be  reported  under  the  accounting 
standards in effect for those periods.  The Company has determined that the amount of revenue from contracts with 
customers under the new revenue recognition standard is the same as under prior accounting standards.  Accordingly, 
the Company did not record an adjustment to the beginning balance of retained earnings as a result of adopting ASC 
606.

New Accounting Standards - Continued 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”, which sets out the principles for the 
recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). 
This update requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on 
the  principle  of  whether  or  not  the  lease  is  effectively  a  financed  purchase  of  the  leased  asset  by  the  lessee.  This 
classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a 
straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability 
for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. This update is effective for annual 
periods beginning after December 15, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, with early adoption permitted.  

ASC 842 will be effective for the Company on May 1, 2019. There are a number of optional practical expedients made 
available to simplify the transition of the new standard. The Company has made the following elections:  

• 

• 

• 
• 
• 

to adopt the optional transition method defined within ASU 2018-11 and not restate comparative prior periods 
but instead recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period 
of adoption;  
to  elect  the  package  of  three  practical  expedients  addressing  whether  a  contract  contains  a  lease,  lease 
classification and initial direct costs;  
to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset classes; 
to use a portfolio approach to determine the incremental borrowing rate; and   
to apply the short-term lease exception to leases that, at the commencement date, have a lease term of 12 
months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably 
certain to exercise.   

During fiscal year 2019, the Company made progress on implementing the new standard which included surveying 
the Company’s businesses, assessing the Company’s portfolio of leases and compiling a central repository of active 
leases. The Company evaluated key policy elections and considerations under the standard which the Company will 
utilize to develop an internal policy to address the new standard requirements. The Company continues to assess the 
impact on its accounting policies, internal control processes and related disclosures required under the new guidance, 
as well as its process to determine the actual amount of the required transition adjustment to reflect the balance of the 
right of use asset and lease liability. These conclusions may change as the Company continues to evaluate the new 
standard or if there are any changes in the Company’s lease portfolio. The Company does not currently believe that 
the standard will have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement 
of  Credit  Losses  on  Financial  Instruments.”  ASU  2016-13  introduces  a  new  forward-looking  approach,  based  on 
expected losses, to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. The 
estimate of expected credit losses will require entities to incorporate considerations of historical information, current 
information and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  This ASU also expands the disclosure requirements to enable 
users  of  financial  statements  to  understand  the  entity’s  assumptions,  models  and  methods  for  estimating  expected 
credit losses. For public business entities, ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning 
after December 15, 2019, and the guidance is to be applied using the modified-retrospective approach. Earlier adoption 
is permitted for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently 
evaluating  the  new  guidance  and  has  not  determined  the  impact  this  ASU  may  have  on  its  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

On May 1, 2018, the Company adopted the guidance contained in ASU 2016 -15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 
230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.”  The amendments in ASU 2016-15 are applied 
using  a  retrospective  transition  method  to  each  period  presented.   The  Company  has  evaluated  each  of  the  eight 
specific issues addressed by ASU 2016-15.   During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, the Company received cash

settlement of insurance claims related to equipment damaged by a fire and including replacement of inventory and 
clean-up costs at one of its subsidiaries.  The Company  has classified these receipts as cash flows  from operating 
activities for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.  As a result of the adoption of this guidance in fiscal year 2019, the 
Company reclassified $251,395 of cash receipts related to this insurance settlement from cash flows from operations 
to cash flows from investing activities in its statements of cash flows for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018. 

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated 
Other Comprehensive Income.” The guidance permits entities to reclassify tax effects stranded in Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income as a result of tax reform to retained earnings. This new guidance is effective for annual and 
interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted in annual and interim 
periods and can be applied retrospectively or in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this ASU in the first 
quarter of its fiscal year ending April 30, 2019 and it had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March, 2015, two of the Company’s executive officers invested in a start-up customer, Petzila, Inc. (“Petzila”).  The 
executive officers’ investments constituted less than 2% (individually and in aggregate) of the outstanding beneficial 
ownership of Petzila, according to information provided by Petzila to the executive officers.    

On April 30, 2018, the Company foreclosed on its security interest and held a public sale of the assets in accordance 
with the requirements of Article 9 of the California Uniform Commercial Code.  The Company acquired all of the 
assets of Petzila as the winning bidder at the public sale by a credit bid of $3,500,000, the aggregate amount of Petzila’s 
liability to the company. Concurrent with the foreclosure sale, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement 
with Wagz, Inc. (Wagz) whereby the Company sold the assets to Wagz for $350,000 cash, 600,000 shares of Wagz 
common stock and an earn-out based on sales by Wagz generated from use of the assets through July 31, 2022.  The 
earn-out is $6.00 per unit of a product specified in the asset purchase agreement and any upgrade to such product. 

The fair value of the non-cash consideration consisted of $600,000 for the 600,000 shares of Wagz common stock 
which  is  recorded  within  other  assets.   The  Company  determined  the  fair  value  of  the  equity  using  the  price  per 
common share received by Wagz in a recent financing transaction, a level 3 input.  The Company did not assign any 
value to the earn-out because any receipts from the earn-out are highly uncertain and contingent upon Wagz selling 
the product specified in the asset purchase agreement between the Company and Wagz. Accordingly, the Company 
recognized the fair value of the assets received from Wagz and derecognized the receivables from Petzila.  The fair 
value of the assets received from Wagz was approximately $950,000; therefore, the Company recognized a loss of 
approximately $2,509,423 in its consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018.

respectively. 

In conjunction with the May 2012 acquisition of Spitfire Control, Inc., an estimate of the fair value of the contingent 
consideration, $2,320,000, was recorded based on expected operating results through fiscal year 2019 and the specific 
terms of  when such consideration  would be earned.  Those terms provided for additional consideration to be paid 
based on a percentage of sales and pre-tax profits over those years in excess of certain minimums.  Payments were 
made quarterly each year and adjusted after each year-end audit.  The Company adjusted the estimated remaining 
payments expected to be paid under the agreement, which resulted in an increase of $40,324 for the fiscal year ended 
April 30, 2019.  Any change in the Company’s estimate is reflected as a change in the contingent consideration liability 
and as additional charges or credits to selling and administrative expenses.  This was measured and reported as a level 
3 fair value at each period end.  The Company made payments totaling $196,247 and $226,014 for the fiscal years 
ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively.  As of April 30, 2019, the contingent consideration liability

On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a $35,000,000 senior secured credit facility with U.S. Bank, which 
expires on March 31, 2022.  The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s domestically 
located assets. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds:  the 
bank fixed rate of five percent or LIBOR plus one and one half percent (effectively 4.09% at April 30, 2019).  Interest 
is due monthly.  Under the senior secured credit facility, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $35,000,000 
or (ii) an amount equal to a percentage of the eligible accounts receivable plus a percentage of the eligible inventory 
(the “Borrowing Base”).   

On July 16, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving line of credit under the 
senior secured credit facility.  The amended revolving credit facility allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser 
of (i) $45,000,000 (the “Revolving Line Cap”) less reserves or (ii) the Borrowing Base, but no more than 90% of the 
Company’s Revolving Line Cap, except that the 90% limitation will expire if the Company’s actual revolving loans 
for 90 consecutive days after the amendment’s effective date are less than 80% of the Company’s Borrowing Base 
and  the  Company  maintains  a  Fixed  Charge  Coverage  Ratio  of  1.2  to  1.0  for  four  consecutive  quarters.   The 
amendment also imposes sublimits on categories of inventory equal to $10,500,000 on raw materials, $10,000,000 on 
finished goods and $28,000,000 on all eligible inventory.   

On December 13, 2018, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  The 
amendment provides an exception to otherwise ineligible foreign receivables for up to $3,000,000 of receivables paid 
by certain enumerated account debtors outside of the U.S. and Canada. 

On March 22, 2019, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into an amendment of the revolving credit facility.  The 
amendment allows the Company to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the Revolving  Line Cap less reserves or (ii) the 
Borrowing Base, but no more than 95% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap until August 1, 2019 and 90% on and 
after August 1, 2019.  As of April 30, 2019, there was $35,727,212 outstanding and $6,645,730 of unused availability

On March 15, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., entered 
into a credit facility with China Construction Bank.  Under the agreement SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. 
can borrow up to 5,000,000 Renminbi, approximately $743,000 as of April 30, 2019, and the facility is collateralized 
by Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd.’s manufacturing building.  Interest is payable monthly and the facility 
bears a fixed interest rate of 6.09%.  The term of the facility extends to March 14, 2024.  There was no outstanding 
balance under the facility at April 30, 2019. 

The Company is in compliance with its financial covenant and other restrictive covenants and anticipates that its 
credit facilities, expected future cash flows from operations and leasing resources are adequate to meet its working 
capital requirements, and fund capital expenditures for the next 12 months.  In addition, if customers delay orders, 
future payments are not made timely, the Company desires to expand its operations, its business grows more rapidly 
than expected, or the current economic climate deteriorates, additional financing resources may be necessary. There 
is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the 
future.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or 
that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax 
Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including, 
but not limited to: (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%; (2) changing rules related to uses 
and limitations of net operating loss carryforwards created in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; (3) bonus 
depreciation that will allow for full expensing of qualified property; (4) creating a new limitation on deductible interest 
expense; (5) eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax; and (6) new tax rules related to foreign operations.

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities - Continued 

Due to the Tax Act, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on 
accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond 
one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740.  In accordance 
with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting 
under ASC 740 is complete.  To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act 
is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial 
statements.  If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in the financial statements, it should 
continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the 
enactment of the Tax Act. 

Due  to  the  timing  of  the  enactment  and  the  complexity  involved  in  applying  the  provisions  of  the  Tax  Act,  the 
Company  made  reasonable  estimates  for  certain  effects  of  the  Tax  Act  and  recorded  provisional  amounts  in  its 
financial statements as of April 30, 2018.  The Company completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act 
in fiscal year 2019 with no material changes to the provisional estimates recorded in prior periods. 

As of April 30, 2019, the Company does not have a net operating loss carryforward for federal income tax purposes.  
The Company has state net operating loss carry-forwards totaling approximately $51,000 at April 30, 2019, that will 
begin to expire in fiscal year April 30, 2025.   The Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $5,149,000 
as of April 30, 2019, which will begin to expire in 2023.  The Company recognizes a valuation allowance if, based on 
the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be 
realized. With the exception of its foreign tax credits and foreign net operating losses described below, the Company 
determined  it  is  more  likely  than  not  that  it  will  realize  its  deferred  tax  assets  due  to  the  reversal  of  deferred  tax 
liabilities and forecast of future earnings. The Company has established a valuation allowance of $78,100 related to 
its foreign tax credit carry-forward. The Company’s estimate of cumulative taxable income during the foreign tax 
credit carryforward period is insufficient to support that the tax benefit from the foreign tax credit is more likely than 
not to be realized. The Company has also established a valuation allowance of $1,216,505 on its net operating loss 
carryforwards and other deferred tax assets at one of its Chinese subsidiaries and its Vietnam subsidiaries. Based on 
historical losses and forecasted future earnings the Company has determined that the tax benefit from such assets are 
not more likely than not to be realized. 

As a result of the Tax Act, the historic undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries will be taxed in 
the U.S. via the one-time repatriation tax in  fiscal  year 2018. As a result of this transition tax, the Company  may 
repatriate its cash and cash equivalents held by its foreign subsidiaries without such funds being subject to further U.S. 
income tax liability. Certain unrepatriated foreign earnings remain subject to local country withholding taxes upon 
repatriation.   The  Company  continues  to  apply  its  permanent  reinvestment  assertion  on  the  cumulative  amount  of 
unremitted earnings of $9,141,000 as of April 30, 2019, from its foreign subsidiaries. 

Unrecognized Tax Benefits 

The Company has not identified any uncertain tax positions or expects any to be taken in the Company’s tax returns.  
For  the  fiscal  years  ended  April  30, 2019  and  April  30,  2018,  the  amount  of  consolidated  worldwide  liability  for 
uncertain tax positions that impacted the Company’s effective tax rate was $0 for each year. 

Other 

Interest and penalties related to tax positions taken in the Company’s tax returns are recorded in income tax expense 
and  miscellaneous  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense,  respectively,  in  the  consolidated  statements  of 
operations.  For the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, the amount included in the Company’s 
balance sheet for such liabilities was $0 for each year.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign jurisdictions.  With few exceptions, the 
Company is no longer subject to state, local or foreign examinations by tax authorities for tax years before fiscal year 
2015.  The Internal Revenue Service previously concluded an audit of the Company’s fiscal year 2013 tax return, and 
a no change letter was issued. 

NOTE K - 401(k) RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN  

The Company sponsors 401(k) retirement savings plans, which are available to all non-union U.S. employees.  The 
Company may elect to match participant contributions up to $300 per participant annually.  The Company contributed 
$96,086 and $90,744 to the plans during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, respectively.  The 
Company incurred total expenses of $11,750 and $12,700 for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2019 and April 30, 2018, 
respectively, relating to costs associated with the administration of the plans. 

NOTE L - MAJOR CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK 

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentration  of  credit  risk  consist  principally  of 
uncollateralized accounts receivable.  For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019, two customers accounted for 15.9% 
and 15.8% of net sales of the Company, and 3.9% and 11.5%, respectively, of accounts receivable at April 30, 2019.  
For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2018, two customers accounted for 20.2% and 13.3% of net sales of the Company 
and 6.0% and 2.9%, respectively, of accounts receivable at April 30, 2018.  Further, the Company has $661,115 in 
cash in China as of April 30, 2019.  Effective May 1, 2015, China implemented a deposit insurance program to insure 
up to approximately $81,000 in deposits under certain circumstances.  Funds above this amount are not insured by a 
guaranteed deposit insurance system.
