ITEM 1.  BUSINESS 

CAUTIONARY NOTE: 

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business 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., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron 
Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, “SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office 
SigmaTron Taiwan branch (collectively, the “Company”) and other Items in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 
contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations.  Words such as 
“continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking 
statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company.  Because 
these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual 
results could differ materially.  Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the direct and indirect 
risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the 
Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of 
products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from the Company’s 
customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or 
other resources than the Company; the variability of the Company’s operating results; the results of long-lived 
assets impairment testing; the ability to achieve the expected benefits of acquisitions; the collection of aged 
account receivables; the variability of the Company’s customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of 
necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and its customers to keep current with 
technological changes within its industries; regulatory compliance, including conflict minerals; the continued 
availability and sufficiency of the Company’s credit arrangements, including the phase-out of LIBOR; the 
ability to meet the Company’s financial covenant; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or 
Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial 
markets; the spread of COVID-19 (commonly known as “Coronavirus”) which has threatened the Company’s 
financial stability by causing a decrease in consumer revenues, caused a disruption to the Company’s global 
supply chain, caused plant closings or reduced operations thus reducing output at those facilities; the stability of 
the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; 
currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth.  These and other factors 
which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the 
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and as risk factors, may be detailed from time to time in the 
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These statements speak as of the date of 
such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or 
otherwise unless otherwise required by law. 

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 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 

4 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 
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, Coahuila, Mexico (“MX”); Chihuahua, Chihuahua, MX; and 
Tijuana, Baja California, MX; Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, China; and Ho Chi Minh City, Dong Nai Province, 
Vietnam.  In addition, the Company maintains an International Procurement Office (“IPO”) in Taipei, Taiwan.  
The Company also provides design services in Elgin, Illinois and warehousing services in Del Rio, Texas; El 
Paso, Texas; and San Diego, California.  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. 

Recent Developments 

On June 4, 2020, SigmaTron and Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”), a privately held company in the pet technology (“Pet 
Tech”) market, announced that they have executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) relating to a proposed business 
combination.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI, SigmaTron expects to issue 
approximately 2,270,000 shares of SigmaTron common stock that would result in the stockholders of Wagz 
owning in the aggregate approximately one-third of the combined company.  The potential benefits to the 
Company from that transaction were summarized in the June 4, 2020 announcement.  The parties expect the 
transaction to close by the end of October 2020 and it remains subject to achievement of certain milestones and 
satisfaction of conditions by both parties prior to closing including finalizing a material definitive agreement 
and the Company raising additional capital that it projects will be needed for the expanded operations in the 
amount of approximately or not less than $7,500,000.  

A pandemic of respiratory disease (abbreviated "COVID-19") began to spread globally, including to the United 
States, in early 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a 
public health emergency of international concern. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is inherently 
uncertain at the time of this report. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in travel restrictions and in some 
cases, prohibitions of non-essential activities, disruption and shutdown of certain businesses and greater 
uncertainty in global financial markets.  The Company cannot predict the extent to which the COVID-19 
outbreak will impact its business or operating results, which is highly dependent on inherently uncertain future 
developments, including the severity and duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions taken by 
governments and businesses in relation to COVID-19 containment. The Company has adopted several measures 
in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.  The Company has been able to continue to meet the needs of its 
customers.  For more information on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see 
“Item 1A. Risk Factors – The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and measures taken in response thereto 
have adversely affected the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition, and the full impact of 
the pandemic will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.” 

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 

5 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 assembly and text complexity.  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.  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. 

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. 

Government Compliance, 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 Locations 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.

locations. 

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 six 
independent manufacturers’ representative organizations that together currently employ 16 sales personnel in 
the United States and Canada.  Independent manufacturers’ representatives’ organizations receive variable

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 
operations in 1968 and had 814 employees at April 30, 2020.  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 352 employees at April 30, 2020.  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 564 employees at April 30, 2020.  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 216,950 and the 
operation had 464 employees as of April 30, 2020.  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 325 employees as of April 30, 
2020. 

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, 2020, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of 
approximately $285,654 compared to net foreign currency losses of $433,742 in the prior year.  In fiscal year 
2020, the Company paid approximately $60,510,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for manufacturing services.  All 
intercompany balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.   

The consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2020, 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 

8 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) and Registration, 
Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (“REACH”).  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 substances of very high concerns (“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”) and contributing conflict.  Consistent with recent prior years, in May 
2020, 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 $1,700,000 for the three most recently completed fiscal years ending April 30, 
2020.  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, 2020, and April 30, 2019, was approximately 
$272,550,000 and $269,660,000, respectively.  The Company believes a significant portion of the backlog at 
April 30, 2020, will ship in fiscal year 2021.  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, 
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 3,065 full-time employees of which approximately 535 were located in 
the U.S. as of April 30, 2020.  There were 205 engaged in engineering or engineering-related services, 2,512 in 
manufacturing and 348 in administrative and marketing functions.

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 ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and measures taken in response thereto have adversely affected the 
Company’s results of operations and its financial condition, and the full impact of the pandemic will depend 
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has materially and adversely impacted the worldwide economy and financial 
markets, which could lead to a prolonged economic recession.  In response, the federal and state governments in 
the U.S. have taken unprecedented monetary and fiscal policy actions across all sectors of the U.S. economy, 
and there is significant uncertainty as to the timing of stabilization and recovery. The Company’s business, 
results of operations, and financial condition were adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the fourth 
quarter of fiscal year 2020, especially beginning in mid-March, and such impact continues into the first quarter 
of fiscal year 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic and both public and private measures taken to contain it have 
negatively affected the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity, all of 
which may continue or worsen. The following are some of the issues that the Company continues to face: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prolonged recessionary concerns.  The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant 
reduction of economic activity in the U.S., as well as a significant increase in unemployment, 
which could lead to a prolonged economic recession;  

Interruptions in the operations of industries in which the Company’s products are used, 
including EMS.  Consumer and business discretionary spending has been significantly 
curtailed and may worsen, all of which adversely impacts some of the Company’s customers’ 
businesses, financial condition, and liquidity; even when certain government and regulatory 
restrictions are lifted, consumer discretionary spending, and demand for the Company’s 
customers’ products, may continue to be challenged due to uncertainty in the marketplace; 

The Company’s facilities have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has 
experienced plant closings or reduced operations in the following locations: Elk Grove 
Village, Illinois U.S., Union City, California U.S., Suzhou, China; Acuna, Coahuila MX; 
Chihuahua, Chihuahua MX; and Tijuana, Baja California MX.  While all of the Company’s 
facilities are currently operational, it has experienced and continues to experience employee 
absences that negatively affect production capabilities, revenues, and cash flow. The 
Company has and will continue to take actions to manage its expenses and to conserve its 
financial resources; 

Actual and potential delays in customer payments, defaults on the Company’s customer credit 
arrangements; or other failures by third parties such as suppliers, and distributors to meet 
their obligations to the Company due to their economic circumstances.  The financial markets 
have also been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, potentially causing 
operational cash flow issues for the Company, and potentially causing similar issues for the 
Company’s customers, including, but not limited to, affecting their ability to meet their 
payment obligations to us; 

Adapting business practices. The Company has and will continue to take actions to manage its 
expenses and to conserve its financial resources. The spread of COVID-19 has caused the 
Company to modify its business practices, particularly with respect to its liquidity position 
and near-term cost structure. The Company’s future strategies, prospects, and plans for 
growth may also be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic; 

Potential impact on the Company’s ability to meet obligations under credit facilities. The 
pandemic could impact the Company’s ability to meet its obligations under its credit 
agreement and other outstanding debt, which may require the Company to seek covenant 
relief for a limited period of time. Although there can be no assurance that such relief would 
be available, if such relief is available, the Company’s lenders may, in exchange, increase the 

12 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
cost of borrowing, apply more stringent covenants, restrict merger and acquisition activity, 
and require other terms and conditions that may limit its business and financing activities; and 

 

Interruptions in manufacturing or distribution of the Company’s products. Outbreaks in the 
communities in which the Company operates could affect its ability to operate its 
manufacturing or distribution activities, and the Company’s suppliers could experience 
similar interruptions. 

The full extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial 
condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, 
but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak within the U.S., China, Mexico, Vietnam and Taiwan, 
its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal 
economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after COVID-19 has subsided, the Company may 
continue to experience materially adverse impacts to its business as a result of its global economic impact, 
including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. There are no comparable recent events 
which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of 
COVID-19, or a similar health epidemic or pandemic, is highly uncertain and subject to change. The Company 
does not yet know the full extent of the impacts on its business, its operations or the global economy as a whole. 
However, the effects could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. While it continues to 
monitor the business metrics that it has historically used to predict its financial performance, it is uncertain as to 
whether these metrics will continue to function as they have in the past. 

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 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. 

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 

13 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
-          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. 

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. 

The Company’s customer base is concentrated. 

Sales to the Company’s five largest customers accounted for 51.4% and 49.7% of net sales for the fiscal years 
ended April 30, 2020, and April 30, 2019, respectively.  For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, two customers 
accounted for 16.7% and 14.1% of net sales of the Company, and 3.6% and 5.0%, respectively, of 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.  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. 

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. 

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 2.33% at 
April 30, 2020).  Interest is due monthly.   

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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 of 
$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 April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with U.S. Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck 
Protection Program of the CARES Act as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) 
in the amount of $6,282,973. The loan, in the form of a promissory note, matures on April 23, 2022.  No 
additional collateral or guarantees were provided by the Company for the loan. The PPP loan provides for 
customary events of default.  Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented 
payroll costs, rent payments, mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the 
date of loan disbursement.  The Company may be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that 
is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and it cannot provide any assurance that it will be eligible for loan 
forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.  All aspects of the PPP 
loan are subject to review by the SBA, including without limitation, the Company’s eligibility for and the size 
of the loan.  The review procedures have not been made public.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of 
that review nor be assured that all or any part of the loan will be forgiven.  To the extent that all or part of the 
PPP loan is not forgiven, the Company will be required to make payments, including interest accruing at an 
annual interest rate of 1.0% beginning on the date of disbursement  

On July 15, 2020 and August 7, 2020, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into amendments of the revolving 
credit facility.  The amendments revise the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. 

As of April 30, 2020, there was $26,884,494 outstanding and $13,850,575 of unused availability under the U.S. 
Bank facility compared to an outstanding balance of $35,727,212 and $6,645,730 of unused availability at April 
30, 2019.   

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 $709,000 as of April 30, 2020, and 
the facility is collateralized by Wujiang SigmaTron Electronic 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.  As of April 30, 2020 the outstanding balance under the facility was $304,658.  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 as of April 30, 2020. 

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 have returned.  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. 

The Company may not be entitled to forgiveness of its recently received Paycheck Protection Program Loan (“PPP 
loan”), and its application for the PPP loan could in the future be determined to have been impermissible.  

On April 23, 2020 the Company received proceeds of $6,282,973 from a loan under the PPP of the CARES Act, 
which it has used to retain current employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments. The PPP 
loan matures on April 23, 2022 if not forgiven and bears annual interest at a rate of 1.0%.  Due to the size of the 
PPP loan, it is subject to review, which introduces an additional layer of uncertainty.  

Under the CARES Act, small businesses may apply for a PPP loan if they employ no more than 500 employees, 
or are a business in an industry that has an employee-based size standard established by the SBA that is greater 
than 500 employees. The Company operates under NAICS Code 334418 where the minimum employee 
threshold is 750. In establishing eligibility for a PPP loan, the Company has considered its U.S. Resident 

15 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
headcount based on the SBA rules in place at the time of the application, which the Company believes is within 
the eligibility threshold. 

Under the CARES Act, forgiveness of a PPP loan is available for the sum of documented payroll costs, covered 
rent payments, covered mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the date 
of loan approval. The Company may be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that is not 
forgiven, along with accrued interest, and it cannot provide any assurance that it will be eligible for loan 
forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA. If the loan is not 
forgiven, the Company will be required to pay the lender equal monthly payments of principal and interest as 
required to fully amortize by April 23, 2022 any principal amount outstanding on the PPP loan.  In order to 
apply for the PPP loan, the Company was required to certify, that the current economic uncertainty, including, 
among other factors, the short term customer demand reduction, made the PPP loan request necessary to support 
its ongoing operations. The Company made this certification in good faith after analyzing, among other things, 
the continued employment of its entire U.S. workforce, certain obvious “work-from-home” limitations 
associated with the nature of its business, and its ability to meet fixed cost obligations, in light of customer 
concerns. Furthermore, the Company considered its classification as a “smaller reporting company” under SEC 
rules and its need for additional funding to continue operations, and its lack of ability to currently access 
alternative forms of capital in the current market environment to fund working capital requirements. Based on 
this analysis, it believes that it satisfied all eligibility criteria for the PPP loan, and that the receipt of the PPP 
loan is consistent with the broad objectives of the CARES Act. If, despite the Company’s actions and 
certification that it satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP loan, it is later determined that it violated 
applicable laws or was otherwise ineligible to receive the PPP loan, it may be required to repay the PPP loan in 
its entirety in a lump sum or be subject to additional penalties, which could also result in adverse publicity and 
damage to the Company’s reputation. If these events were to transpire, they could have a material adverse effect 
on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. 

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. 

The Company may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of the proposed business combination 
between the Company and Wagz (the “acquisition”), including anticipated revenue and cost synergies, and 
costs associated with achieving synergies or integrating Wagz may exceed its expectations. 

16 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The Company may not be able to achieve the expected benefits of the Wagz acquisition, including anticipated 
revenue and cost synergies. There can be no assurance that the Wagz acquisition will be beneficial to the 
Company.  Moreover, the Company may not be able to integrate the assets acquired in the Wagz acquisition or 
achieve our expected cost synergies without increases in costs or other difficulties.  Although Wagz will be a 
stand-alone operation of SigmaTron, the integration process may be complex, costly and time-consuming.  The 
Company expects to incur expenses in connection with the integration of the Wagz acquisition.  While it is 
anticipated that certain expenses will be incurred to achieve operational synergies, such expenses are difficult to 
estimate accurately, and may exceed current estimates.  Accordingly, the benefits from the Wagz acquisition 
may be offset by costs incurred or delays in integrating the businesses.  Any unexpected costs or delays incurred 
in connection with the integration of the Wagz acquisition could have an adverse effect on the Company’s 
business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects, as well as the market price of its common 
stock. 

The overall integration of the businesses may result in material unanticipated problems, expenses, liabilities, 
competitive responses, loss of customer relationships, and diversion of management’s attention. In addition, 
even if the operations of the Company’s business and Wagz’s business are integrated successfully, the 
Company may not realize the full benefits of the Wagz acquisition, including the synergies, cost savings or 
sales or growth opportunities that it expects. These benefits may not be achieved within the anticipated time 
frame, or at all. 

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. 

The phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), or the replacement of LIBOR with a different 
reference rate or modification of the method used to calculate LIBOR, may adversely affect interest rates which 
may have an adverse impact on the Company. 

LIBOR is the basic rate of interest used in lending between banks on the London interbank market and is widely 
used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. The Company uses LIBOR as a reference rate 
in its senior secured credit facility. The interest rate for the Company’s senior secured credit facility is 
calculated using LIBOR.  The Company’s revolving credit facility contains a stated minimum value for LIBOR, 
and as of April 30, 2020, the Company had $26,884,494 in outstanding indebtedness indexed to LIBOR. 

In July 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it 
intends to stop compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021. It is unclear whether LIBOR will cease to 
exist at that time or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 
2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight 
Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to LIBOR for use in 
financial and other derivatives contracts that are currently indexed to United States dollar LIBOR.  ARRC has 
proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR and organizations are currently working on 
industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to financial and other derivative contracts 
exposed to LIBOR.  Uncertainty exists as to the transition process and broad acceptance of SOFR as the 
primary alternative to LIBOR.  At this time, due to a lack of consensus existing as to what rate or rates may 
become accepted alternatives to LIBOR, it is impossible to predict the effect of any such alternatives on the 
Company’s liquidity.  However, if LIBOR ceases to exist or a new method of calculating LIBOR is adopted, the 
Company may need to renegotiate its credit agreements that utilize LIBOR as a factor in determining the 
interest rate to replace LIBOR with the new standard that is established. In addition, these changes may have an 
adverse impact on the value of or interest earned on any LIBOR-based marketable securities, loans and 
derivatives that are included in the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, which may have a material 
adverse effect on its financial condition 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. 

17 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 
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.  

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.  Lead 
times have recently shortened but lead times for certain select components can still exceed 24 to 36 weeks.  The 
Company’s orders for components are always based on the changing needs of its customers. 

Most of the Company’s customers production schedules are volatile, which makes it difficult to schedule 
production and achieve maximum efficiency at the Company’s manufacturing facilities and manage 
inventory levels. 

18 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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. 

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 
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 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. 

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, 2020, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of $285,654 
compared to net foreign currency losses of approximately $434,000 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 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, the ability to identify, 
hire, train and retain qualified personnel and operating management in Mexico, China and Vietnam, and the 
Company’s ability to manage disruptions resulting from foreign government lockdowns and other actions taken 
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

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. 

19 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
Approximately 16% of the total assets of the Company are located in foreign jurisdictions outside the United 
States as of April 30, 2020, of which 10% and 4% of the total assets were located in China and Mexico, 
respectively, and 2% in other foreign locations. As of April 30, 2019, approximately 13% of the total assets 
were located in foreign jurisdictions, of which 8% and 4% were located in China and Mexico, respectively, and 
1% in other foreign locations. 

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 46% and 48% 
of its workforce for fiscal years 2020 and 2019, respectively.  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 

20 

 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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 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.

contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations.  Words such as 
“continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking 
statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company.  Because 
these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual 
results could differ materially.  Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the direct and indirect 
risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the 
Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of 
products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from the Company’s 
customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or 
other resources than the Company; the variability of the Company’s operating results; the results of long-lived 
assets impairment testing; the ability to achieve the expected benefits of acquisitions; the collection of aged 
account receivables; the variability of the Company’s customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of 
necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and its customers to keep current with 
technological changes within its industries; regulatory compliance, including conflict minerals; the continued 
availability and sufficiency of the Company’s credit arrangements, including the phase-out of LIBOR; the 
ability to meet the Company’s financial covenant; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or 
Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial 
markets; the spread of COVID-19 (commonly known as “Coronavirus”) which has threatened the Company’s 
financial stability by causing a decrease in consumer revenues, caused a disruption to the Company’s global 
supply chain, caused plant closings or reduced operations thus reducing output at those facilities; the stability of 
the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; 
currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth.  These and other factors 
which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the 
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and as risk factors, may be detailed from time to time in the 
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These statements speak as of the date of 
such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or 
otherwise unless otherwise required by law. 

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 

24 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 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 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, 2020 and April 30, 2019. 

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. 

Factors Affecting Results 

COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic, including closures and other steps taken by governmental authorities in 
response to the virus, has had a significant impact on the Company’s businesses.  The Company reported a pre-
tax loss of $172,525 or the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020 and a pre-tax profit of $1,093,134 for the fiscal 
year.  Through March 2020, sales were up year over year.  In April 2020, sales were down approximately 30%, 
as compared to April 2019.  In addition, operating expenses were also down significantly in April 2020, as 
compared to April 2019, as certain variable expenses decreased with sales.  

PPP Loan and CARES Act.  During the fourth fiscal quarter the Company received a $6,282,973 PPP loan. 
The Company received the PPP loan under the CARES Act. The Company believes it met the requirements for 
eligibility.  When part or all of the loan is forgiven under the program, that benefit will be recorded in the 
quarter in which the forgiveness occurs. During the fourth quarter the Company had operational interruptions 
and incurred significant expenses related to the COVID pandemic at all of its operations.  In some locations the 
interruptions and expenses were worse than others. 

For more information on the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk 
Factors – The ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and measures taken in response thereto have adversely 
affected the Company’s results of operations and its financial condition, and the full impact of the pandemic 
will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.”  

One of several disappointments tied to the COVID pandemic is that the Company was approaching the fourth 
quarter with significant momentum and a strong backlog.  During the pandemic, the Company has seen several 
customers with an unexpected and un-forecasted uptick in demand while others had a precipitous drop in 
demand.  It is difficult to predict how these various markets will sort themselves out over the next several 
quarters but the Company is cautiously optimistic that things are heading in the right direction.  The Company 
believes its backlog and resultant revenue stream have recently started an upward trend.  This is primarily based 

25 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
on the Company’s customers’ orders and backlog.  While the economic recovery seems fragile at this time, it 
does appear that it is trending in a positive direction for the second half of calendar year 2020.     

Recent Developments 

On June 4, 2020, SigmaTron and Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”), a privately held company in the pet technology (“Pet 
Tech”) market, announced that they have executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) relating to a proposed business 
combination.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI, SigmaTron expects to issue 
approximately 2,270,000 shares of SigmaTron common stock that would result in the stockholders of Wagz 
owning in the aggregate approximately one-third of the combined company.  The potential benefits to the 
Company from that transaction were summarized in the June 4, 2020 announcement.  The parties expect the 
transaction to close by the end of October 2020 and it remains subject to achievement of certain milestones and 
satisfaction of conditions by both parties prior to closing including finalizing a material definitive agreement 
and the Company raising additional capital that it projects will be needed for the expanded operations in the 
amount of approximately or not less than $7,500,000.  

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, deferred income, deferred taxes, uncertain tax positions, valuation 
allowance for deferred taxes and valuation of 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 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. 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.  Of the Company’s raw materials inventory, a substantial portion has been purchased to fulfill 
committed future orders or for which the Company is contractually entitled to recover its costs from its 
customers.  For the remaining raw materials inventory, a provision for excess and obsolete inventories is 
recorded 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 non-

compete agreements and customer relationships.  Finite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight line 
basis over their estimated useful lives of 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.  The Company’s analysis for fiscal year 2020 and 2019 did not 
indicate that any of its other long-lived assets were impaired.  For more information on the potential impact of 
the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors – The ongoing COVID-19 global 
pandemic and measures taken in response thereto have adversely affected the Company’s results of operations 
and its financial condition, and the full impact of the pandemic will depend on future developments, which are 
highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.”  

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 $989,194 and $1,294,605 

27 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
as of April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2019, respectively.  The reduction in valuation allowance is attributable to a 
reduction of underlying NOL carryforwards in China to offset current year income and NOL carryforwards in 
Vietnam, pursuant to a recently concluded examination by the Vietnam tax authorities. 

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.

Net sales decreased 3.3% to $281,042,482 in fiscal year 2020 from $290,553,951 in the prior year.  The 
Company’s sales decreased in fiscal year 2020 in consumer electronics and industrial electronics compared to 
the prior year.  The decrease in sales dollars for these marketplaces was partially offset by an increase in sales 
dollars in the medical/life science marketplace.  In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 sales were negatively 
impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to temporary closings  of several of the Company’s manufacturing 
operations. 

Gross profit decreased to $25,104,890, or 8.9% of net sales, in fiscal year 2020 compared to $26,341,769 or 
9.1% of net sales, in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease in gross profit dollars for fiscal year 2020 was primarily 
the result of decreased sales. 

Selling and administrative expenses decreased in fiscal year 2020 to $22,292,309, or 7.9% of net sales 
compared to $23,263,117, or 8.0% of net sales, in fiscal year 2019.  The decrease in selling and administrative 
dollars was attributable to sales salaries, bad debt expense, financing fees and other professional fees.  The 
decrease in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by an increase in legal fees, 
bonus expense and other general administrative expenses.  Selling and administrative expenses decreased as a 
percent of net sales due to a decrease in total selling and administrative dollars in fiscal year 2020 compared to 
the prior year.   

Interest expense, net, decreased to $1,839,060 in fiscal year 2020 compared to $2,413,297 in fiscal year 2019.  
Interest expense decreased primarily due to the decreased borrowings under the Company’s banking 
arrangements and mortgage obligations.   

In fiscal year 2020, the Company reported income tax expense of $650,032 compared to an income tax expense 
of $1,731,415 in fiscal year 2019.  The effective rate for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020 and April 30, 
2019 was 59.47% and 199.86%, respectively. The decrease in income tax expense and effective tax rate is due 
primarily to the valuation allowance established on certain deferred tax assets related to foreign net operating 
loss carryforwards in the previous year.  

The Company reported a net income of $443,102 in fiscal year 2020 compared to a net loss of $865,114 for 
fiscal year 2019.  Basic and diluted earnings per share for fiscal year 2020 were $0.10 each, compared to basic 
and diluted loss per share of $0.20 each for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: 

Operating Activities. 

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $15,454,294 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, compared 
to cash flow used in operating activities of $1,619,500 for the prior fiscal year.  Cash flow provided by 
operating activities was primarily the result of net income and an increase in accounts payable in the amount of 
$10,143,939.  The increase in accounts payable is the result of more favorable payment terms with vendors.  
Cash flow provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in prepaid expenses and other 
assets. 

Cash flow used in operating activities was $1,619,500 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019.  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 was the result of increased sales and the timing of payments.  Cash flow used in operating activities 
was partially offset by a decrease in inventory. 

Investing Activities. 

In fiscal year 2020, the Company purchased in cash $4,646,325 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 $4,570,000 in fiscal year 2021.  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 2019, the Company purchased in cash $2,361,629 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. 

Financing Activities. 

Cash used in financing activities was $4,265,834 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020.  Cash used in 
financing activities was primarily the result of net payments under the line of credit offset by the proceeds from 
the PPP loan of $6,282,973. 

Cash provided by financing activities was $3,265,340 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2019.  Cash provided 
by financing activities was primarily the result of net borrowings under the line of credit.

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 2.33% at 
April 30, 2020).  Interest is due monthly.   

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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 of 
$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 April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with U.S. Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck 
Protection Program of the CARES Act as administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) 
in the amount of $6,282,973. The loan, in the form of a promissory note, matures on April 23, 2022.  No 
additional collateral or guarantees were provided by the Company for the loan. The PPP loan provides for 
customary events of default.  Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available for the sum of documented 
payroll costs, rent payments, mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 24-week period beginning on the 
date of loan disbursement.  The Company may be required to repay any portion of the outstanding principal that 
is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and it cannot provide any assurance that it will be eligible for loan 
forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.  All aspects of the PPP 
loan are subject to review by the SBA, including without limitation, the Company’s eligibility for and the size 
of the loan.  The review procedures have not been made public.  The Company cannot predict the outcome of 
that review nor be assured that all or any part of the loan will be forgiven.  To the extent that all or part of the

PPP loan is not forgiven, the Company will be required to make payments, including interest accruing at an 
annual interest rate of 1.0% beginning on the date of disbursement  

On July 15, 2020 and August 7, 2020, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into amendments of the revolving 
credit facility.  The amendments revise the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. 

As of April 30, 2020, there was $26,884,494 outstanding and $13,850,575 of unused availability under the U.S. 
Bank facility compared to an outstanding balance of $35,727,212 and $6,645,730 of unused availability at April 
30, 2019.  Deferred financing costs of $97,611 were capitalized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, 
which are amortized over the term of the agreement.  As of April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2019, the unamortized 
amount offset against outstanding debt was $218,062 and $209,162, 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 $709,000 as of April 30, 2020, and 
the facility is collateralized by Wujiang SigmaTron Electronic 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.  As of April 30, 2020 the outstanding balance under the facility was $304,658.  There was no 
outstanding balance under the facility at April 30, 2019. 

Notes Payable - Buildings 

The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on December 21, 2017, in the amount of $5,200,000, with 
U.S. Bank to refinance the property that serves as the Company’s corporate headquarters and its Illinois 
manufacturing facility in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.  The note requires the Company to pay monthly principal 
payments in the amount of $17,333, bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per year and is payable over a fifty-
one month period.  Deferred financing costs of $74,066 were capitalized in fiscal year 2018 which are 
amortized over the term of the agreement.  As of April 30, 2020, the unamortized amount included as a 
reduction to long-term debt was $32,760.  A final payment of approximately $4,347,778 is due on or before 
March 31, 2022.  The outstanding balance was $4,732,000 and $4,940,000 at April, 30 2020 and April 30, 
2019, respectively. 

The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on December 21, 2017, in the amount of $1,800,000, with 
U.S. Bank to refinance the property that serves as the Company’s engineering and design center in Elgin, 
Illinois.  The note requires the Company to pay monthly principal payments in the amount of $6,000, bears 
interest at a fixed rate of 4.0% per year and is payable over a fifty-one month period.  Deferred financing costs 
of $65,381 were capitalized in the fiscal year 2018 which are amortized over the term of the agreement.  As of 
April 30, 2020 the unamortized amount included as a reduction to long-term debt was $28,918.  A final 
payment of approximately $1,505,000 is due on or before March 31, 2022.  The outstanding balance was 
$1,638,000 and $1,710,000 at April, 30 2020 and April 30, 2019, respectively.   

The Company entered into a mortgage agreement on March 3, 2020, in the amount of $556,000, with The Bank 
and Trust SSB to purchase the property that serves as the Company’s warehousing and distribution center in 
Del Rio, Texas.  The note requires the Company to pay monthly installment payments in the amount of $6,103, 
bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.75% per year and is payable over a 120 month period.  The outstanding 
balance was $552,561 at April, 30 2020.   

Notes Payable - Equipment 

The Company routinely enters into secured note agreements with Engencap Fin S.A. DE C.V. to finance the 
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 
from 6.65% to 8.00%.

2025, with quarterly installment payments ranging from $10,723 to $12,856 and a fixed interest rate of 8.25%. 

Finance Lease Obligations 

The Company enters into various finance lease agreements.  The terms of the lease agreements mature through 
November 2023, with monthly installment payments ranging from $1,455 to $40,173 and a fixed interest rate 
ranging from 3.75% to 12.73%.  

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, 2020, resulted in net foreign currency transaction losses of $285,654 compared to net foreign 
currency losses of approximately $434,000 in the prior year.  In fiscal year 2020, the Company paid 
approximately $60,510,000 to its foreign subsidiaries for manufacturing services.  All intercompany balances 
have been eliminated upon consolidation.   

The Company expects that the significant disruption in business activity and the financial markets created by 
the COVID-19 global pandemic will impact several sources of its liquidity, and is therefore continuously and 
critically reviewing its liquidity and anticipated capital requirements.  For more information on the potential 
impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors – The ongoing COVID-19 
global pandemic and measures taken in response thereto have adversely affected the Company’s results of 
operations and its financial condition, and the full impact of the pandemic will depend on future developments, 
which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.” 

The Company is in compliance with its financial covenant and other restrictive covenants as of April 30, 2020.  

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

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: 

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, 2020.  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, 2020. 

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes the consolidated 
financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent in all material respects our 
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance with 
GAAP. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting: 

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 (2013) issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on our assessment, 
management believes that, as of April 30, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.   

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 quarter ended 
April 30, 2020, 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. (the “Company”) as 
of April 30, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, 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. 

Change in Accounting Method Related to Leases 

As discussed in Note B to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for 
leases effective May 1, 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases. 

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, 2020, the 
Company provided these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United 
States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.  Approximately 16% of the total assets of the Company are located in 
foreign jurisdictions outside the United States as of April 30, 2020, of which 10% and 4% of the assets were located 
in China and Mexico, respectively, and 2% in other foreign locations. As of April 30, 2019, approximately 13% of 
the  total  assets  were  located  in  foreign  jurisdictions,  of  which  8%  and  4%  were  located  in  China  and  Mexico, 
respectively, and 1% in other foreign locations. 

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, 2020, resulted in net 
foreign currency transaction losses of approximately $285,654 compared to net foreign currency losses of $433,742 
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, 
deferred income,  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.

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, 2020 or April 30, 2019.  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, 2020 and April 30, 2019, the Company sold 
without recourse trade receivables of approximately $85,000,000 and $77,000,000, 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.    Of  the  Company’s  raw  materials  inventory,  a 
substantial portion has been purchased to fulfill committed future orders or for which the Company is contractually 
entitled to recover its costs from its customers.  For the remaining raw materials inventory, a provision for excess and 
obsolete inventories is recorded 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 $279,740 and $303,310 net 
of  accumulated  amortization  of  $277,518  and  $166,689,  respectively,  as  of  April  30,  2020  and  April  30,  2019, 
respectively, are deducted from long term debt on the Company’s balance sheet. 

COVID-19 and CARES Act 

A pandemic of respiratory disease (abbreviated "COVID-19") began to spread globally, including to the United States, 
in early 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 to be a public health 
emergency of international concern. The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is inherently uncertain at the time of 
this report. The COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in travel restrictions and in some cases, prohibitions of non-essential 
activities, disruption and shutdown of certain businesses and greater uncertainty in global financial markets. The full 
extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will depend 
on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration 
and spread of the outbreak within the U.S., China, Mexico, Vietnam and Taiwan, its severity, the actions to contain 
the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.  

Even  after  COVID-19  has  subsided,  the  Company  may  continue  to  experience  materially  adverse  impacts  to  its 
business as a result of its global economic impact, including any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future. 
There are no comparable recent events which may provide guidance as to the effect of the spread of COVID-19, and, 
as a result, the ultimate impact of COVID-19, or a similar health epidemic or pandemic, is highly uncertain and subject 
to change. The Company has adopted several measures in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.  To date, the Company 
has been able to continue to meet the needs of its customers.  Although the Company cannot estimate the length or 
gravity of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak at this time, if the pandemic continues, it will have a material adverse 
effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2021. 

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) 
Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment 
of  employer  side  social  security  payments,  net  operating  loss  carryback  periods,  alternative  minimum  tax  credit 
refunds,  modifications  to  the  net  interest  deduction  limitations,  increased  limitations  on  qualified  charitable 
contributions,  and  technical  corrections  to  tax  depreciation  methods  for  qualified  improvement  property.  It  also 
appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote 
continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by 
COVID-19.

COVID-19 and CARES Act - Continued 

As further described in Note H, the Company has applied for, and has received, funds under the Paycheck Protection 
in the amount of $6,282,973. The application for these funds required the Company to, in good faith, certify that the 
current economic uncertainty made the loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Company. 
This certification further requires the Company to take into account its current business activity and its ability to access 
other sources of liquidity sufficient to support ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to 
the business. The receipt of these funds, and the forgiveness of the loan attendant to these funds, is dependent on the 
Company having initially qualified for the loan and qualifying for the forgiveness of such loan based on its future 
adherence to the forgiveness criteria. 

Due  to  the  size  of  the  PPP  Loan,  it  is  subject  to  review,  which  introduces  a  layer  of  uncertainty.  If,  despite  the 
Company’s actions and certification that it satisfied all eligibility requirements for the PPP, it is later determined that 
it violated applicable laws or was otherwise ineligible to receive the PPP, the Company may be required to repay the 
PPP in its entirety in a lump sum or be subject to additional penalties, which could also result in adverse publicity and 
damage to the Company’s reputation. If these events were to transpire, they could have a material adverse effect on 
the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. 

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.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued 

Income Taxes - Continued 

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. 

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 232,821 and 53,309 anti-dilutive 
common stock equivalents at April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2019, respectively, which have been excluded from the 
calculation of diluted earnings per share.

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, which accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s 
revenue.  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 fiscal year 2020, 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,  2020.    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, 2020, with an expected duration of greater than one year.

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 2020 or 2019. 

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, 2020 and April 30, 
2019, 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. 

On April 30, 2018, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”), whereby the 
Company sold certain assets to Wagz for $350,000 cash, in exchange for 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 the most recent financing transaction, a level 3 input.  As of April 30, 2020, and 
April 30, 2019 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Continued 

On June 4, 2020, SigmaTron and Wagz, Inc. (“Wagz”), a privately held company in the pet technology (“Pet Tech”) 
market, announced that they have executed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) relating to a proposed business combination.  
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI, SigmaTron expects to issue approximately 2,270,000 shares 
of SigmaTron common stock that would result in the stockholders of Wagz owning in the aggregate approximately 
one-third of the combined company.  The potential benefits to the Company from that transaction were summarized 
in the June 4, 2020 announcement.   The parties expect the transaction to  close by the end  of October 2020 and  it 
remains subject to achievement of certain milestones and satisfaction of conditions by both parties prior to closing 
including finalizing a material definitive agreement and the Company raising additional capital that it projects will be 
needed for the expanded operations in the amount of approximately or not less than $7,500,000.  

Intangible Assets 

Intangible  assets  are  comprised  of  finite  life  intangible  assets  including  non-compete  agreements  and  customer 
relationships.  Finite life intangible assets are amortized on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives of  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 of its long-lived asset groups for possible impairment.  The Company’s analysis for fiscal year 2020 
and 2019 did not indicate that any of its other long-lived assets were impaired.  The Company has yet to experience 
significant  supply  chain  interruptions  or  material  cancellations  of  orders;  however,  the  potential  impact  of  future 
disruptions, continued economic uncertainty over COVID-19 may have a significant adverse impact on the timing of 
delivery of customer orders and the levels of future customer orders.  It is reasonably possible that these potential 
adverse impacts may result in the recognition of material impairments or other related charges in future periods. 

Investment in Wagz  

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.  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.  At April 30, 2020, the Company continued to recognize the fair value of the 
Wagz common stock at $600,000; the reduction in the fair market of the Wagz inventory by $109,046 and the reserve 
as bad debt for the Wagz total account receivable of $331,283.

Investment in Wagz - Continued 

On May 29, 2020, Wagz entered into a Convertible Secured Promissory Note with the Company in the principal sum 
of up to $4,052,478.  The outstanding principal amount of the Note shall be due and payable on the earliest to occur 
of (1) August 31, 2021; (2) upon the closing of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets or common stock of  Wagz, 
or (3) an event of default, (the Maturity Date). Interest is payable at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum and is 
payable on the Maturity Date. At April 30, 2020, $768,500 was outstanding under other receivables. 

On June 4, 2020, the Company and Wagz announced that they have executed a LOI relating to a proposed business 
combination.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the LOI, the Company expects to issue approximately 
2,270,000  shares  of  its  common  stock  that  would  result  in  the  stockholders  of  Wagz  owning  in  the  aggregate 
approximately one-third of the combined company.  The parties expect the transaction to close by the end of October 
2020 and the acquisition remains subject to achievement of certain milestones and satisfaction of conditions by both 
parties prior to closing such as finalizing a material definitive agreement and the Company raising of additional capital 
that it projects will be needed for the expanded operations in the amount of at least $7,500,000.  

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. 

New Accounting Standards 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, as amended, Leases (Topic 842), which requires a lessee to record 
a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term greater than twelve months regardless of whether the 
lease is classified as an operating lease or a financing lease. 

Effective May 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective approach, applying 
the current-period adjustment method.  Under the transition guidance of the modified retrospective approach there are 
a number of optional practical expedients made available to simplify the transition of the new standard. The Company 
has elected the following:  

  The  condensed  consolidated  balance  sheets  for  reporting  periods  beginning  on  or  after  May 1,  2019  are 
presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported 
in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to the 
opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption of $5.   

  The  Company  has  elected  to  utilize  the  package  of  practical  expedients  permitted  under  the  transition 
guidance in the standard, which allowed the Company to not reassess (i) whether any expired or existing 
contracts contain leases, (ii) historical lease classification, and (iii) initial direct costs. 

  The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component for all asset 

classes.  

  The Company has elected to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously 

accounted for as leases under Topic 840 are or contain a lease under this Topic. 

  The Company has elected to keep leases with an initial term of 12 months or less off of the balance sheet.

New Accounting Standards - Continued 

Upon adoption, the Company recorded Right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities relating to operating leases 
of $6,017,771 and $6,290,289, respectively. The changes did not have a material impact on our results of operations  
or cash flows. The discount rates used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities as of the effective date were 
based  on the remaining lease terms as of the effective date. See Note  M -  Leases,  for the impact on the  financial 
statements and related disclosures from the adoption of this standard. 

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,  as  amended  by  ASU  2019-04  and  ASU  2019-05, 
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 small reporting companies, ASU 2016-
13 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, 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. 

In  December  2019,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  2019-12,  “Income  Taxes  (Topic  740):  Simplifying  the  Accounting  for 
Income  Taxes”,  which  simplifies  accounting  for  income  taxes  by  removing  certain  exceptions  to  intra-period 
allocations,  investments,  calculations  in  interim  periods  and  to  improve  consistent  application.  ASU  2019-12  is 
effective  for  annual  and  interim  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2020.  The  Company  is  currently 
evaluating  the  new  guidance  and  has  not  determined  the  impact  this  ASU  may  have  on  its  consolidated  financial 
statements. 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of 
Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting”, which provides optional guidance for a period of time to ease the 
potential burden in accounting for the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. Regulators 
and  market  participants  in  various  jurisdictions  have  undertaken  efforts  to  eliminate  certain  reference  rates  and 
introduce new reference rates that are based on a larger and more liquid population of observable transactions. The 
changes provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying US GAAP to contract, hedging relationships and 
other transactions affected by reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 
and can be adopted no later than December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has 
not determined the impact this ASU may have 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 the  most 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.

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 2.33% at April 30, 2020).  Interest 
is due monthly.   

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 (i) 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  (ii)  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  of  $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 April 23, 2020, the Company entered into a loan with U.S. Bank, as lender, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection 
Program of the CARES Act as administered by the SBA in the amount of $6,282,973. The loan, in the form of a 
promissory note, matures on April 23, 2022.  No additional collateral or guarantees were provided by the Company 
for the loan. The PPP loan provides  for customary events  of default.   Under the  CARES  Act, loan  forgiveness is 
available for the sum of documented payroll costs, rent payments, mortgage interest and covered utilities during the 
24-week period beginning on the date of loan disbursement.  The Company may be required to repay any portion of 
the outstanding principal that is not forgiven, along with accrued interest, and it cannot provide any assurance that it 
will be eligible for loan forgiveness, or that any amount of the PPP Loan will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA.  All 
aspects of the PPP loan are subject to review by the SBA, including without limitation, the Company’s eligibility for

and the size of the loan.  The review procedures have not been made public.  The Company cannot predict the outcome 
of that review nor be assured that all or any part of the loan will be forgiven.  To the extent that all or part of the PPP 
loan is not forgiven, the Company will be required to make payments, including interest accruing at an annual interest 
rate of 1.0% beginning on the date of disbursement. 

On July 15, 2020 and August 7, 2020, the Company and U.S. Bank entered into amendments of the revolving credit 
facility.  The amendments revise the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio. 

As of April 30, 2020, there was $26,884,494 outstanding and $13,850,575 of unused availability under the U.S. Bank 
facility compared to an outstanding balance of $35,727,212 and $6,645,730 of unused availability at April 30, 2019.  
Deferred financing costs of $97,611 were capitalized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2020, which are amortized 
over the term of the agreement.  As of April 30,  2020 and April 30, 2019, the unamortized  amount offset against 
outstanding debt was $218,062 and $209,162, 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.

NOTE J - INCOME TAX - Continued 

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities - Continued 

The CARES Act was signed into law by the President of the U.S. on March 27, 2020.  This legislation is aimed at 
providing  relief  for  individuals  and  businesses  impacted  by  the  Coronavirus  outbreak.  The  CARES  Act  includes 
several  significant  business  tax  provisions  that,  among  other  things,  would  eliminate  the  taxable  income  limit  for 
certain net operating losses (NOL), allow businesses to carry back NOLs arising in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to the five 
prior tax years, accelerate refunds of corporate Alternative Minimum Tax credits, temporarily increase the business 
interest limitation under section 163(j), and allow for deferral of payroll taxes.  

The CARES Act also established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), to be administered by the SBA, whereby 
certain businesses are eligible for a loan to fund payroll expenses, rent, and related costs. The PPP loan may be forgiven 
if  the  funds  are  used  for  payroll  and  other  qualified  expenses  within  certain  limits.    As  described  in  Note  H,  the 
Company received a PPP Loan under the CARES Act of $6,282,963. For federal income tax purposes, the CARES 
Act expressly provides that any forgiveness or cancellation of all or part of such loans will not be treated as income 
for tax purposes. It is expected, however, that if the loan is deemed forgiven any deductions for the covered expenses 
that gave rise to the loan forgiveness will be disallowed to prevent a double tax benefit. As of April 30, 2020 the loan 
has not been forgiven and thus the expenses have not been disallowed for federal income tax purposes. 

Pursuant to the CARES Act, the Company will carry back its fiscal year 2018 NOL to prior tax years when it was 
subject to a 34.00% U.S. statutory income tax rate. It previously used this NOL to offset income generated in fiscal 
year 2019, at which time it was subject to a 21.00% U.S. statutory income tax rate. The Company’s fiscal year 2020 
income tax provision includes an estimated $95,000 tax benefit and income tax receivable amount related to the NOL 
carryback.  The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act and subsequent guidance on its overall 
tax position. 

As of April 30, 2019, the Company does not have a NOL carryforward for federal income tax purposes.  The Company 
has state NOL carry-forwards totaling approximately $104,000 at April 30, 2020, that will begin to expire in fiscal 
year April 30, 2025.   The Company has foreign NOL carryforwards of $3,839,611 as of April 30, 2020, 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 NOL 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  $911,094  on  its  NOL  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. 

Cash and cash equivalents held internationally may be subject to foreign withholding taxes if repatriated to the U.S.   
Absent meeting an exception, unrepatriated foreign earnings generally 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 $3,307,000 as of April 30, 2020, 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,  2020  and  April  30,  2019,  the  amount  of  consolidated  worldwide  liability  for 
uncertain tax positions that impacted the Company’s effective tax rate was $0. 

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, 2020 and April 30, 2019, the amount included in the Company’s 
balance sheet for such liabilities was $0.   

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.  Vietnam tax authorities recently concluded an examination of years 2009-2018 years and assessed an additional 
amount due totaling $153,000. 

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  25.0%  of  the  first  5.0%  participant  contributions  up  to  $2,000.00  per  participant 
annually.  The Company contributed $201,819 and $96,086 to the plans during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2020 
and April 30, 2019, respectively.  The Company incurred total expenses of $8,250 and $11,750 for the fiscal years 
ended April 30, 2020 and April 30, 2019, 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, 2020, two customers accounted for 16.7% 
and 14.1% of net sales of the Company, and 3.6% and 5.0%, respectively, of accounts receivable at April 30, 2020.  
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.  Further, the Company has $355,324 in 
cash in China as of April 30, 2020.  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.  Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) program deposit 
insurance insures up to $250,000.

NOTE M - LEASES  

The Company leases office and storage space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable operating leases 
with  initial  terms  typically  ranging  from  1  to  5  years.    At  contract  inception,  the  Company  reviews  the  facts  and 
circumstances  of  the  arrangement  to  determine  if  the  contract  is  or  contains  a  lease.    The  Company  follows  the 
guidance in Topic 842 to evaluate whether the contract has an identified asset; if the Company has the right to obtain 
substantially all economic benefits from the asset; and if the Company has the right to direct the use of the underlying 
asset.  When determining if a contract has an identified asset, the Company considers both explicit and implicit assets, 
and whether the supplier has the right to substitute the asset.  When determining if the Company has the right to direct 
the use of an underlying asset, the Company considers if they have the right to direct how and for what purpose the 
asset is used throughout the period of use and if they control the decision-making rights over the asset.  

The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease.  The Company exercises judgment 
to determine the term of those leases when extension or termination options are present and include such options in 
the calculation of the lease term when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise those options.  

The Company has elected to include both lease and non-lease components in the determination of lease payments. 
Payments made to a lessor for items such as taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, or other costs commonly 
referred to as executory costs, are also included in lease payments if they are fixed. The fixed portion of these payments 
are included in the calculation of the lease liability, while any variable portion would be recognized as variable lease 
expenses, when incurred. Variable payments made to third parties for these, or similar costs, such as utilities, are not 
included in the calculation of lease payments. 

At commencement, lease-related assets and liabilities are measured at the present value of future lease payments over 
the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company exercises judgment in 
determining  the  incremental  borrowing  rate  based  on  the  information  available  at  when  the  lease  commences  to 
measure the present value of future payments.  

Operating  lease  expense  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  lease  term.  Finance  lease  cost  includes 
amortization,  which  is  recognized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  expected  life  of  the  leased  asset,  and  interest 
expense, which is recognized following an effective interest rate method. 

Operating leases are included in other assets, current operating lease obligations, and operating lease obligations (less 
current  portion)  on  the  Company’s  consolidated  balance  sheet.  Finance  leases  are  included  in  property,  plant  and 
equipment and  current and  long-term portion of  finance lease obligations on the Company’s consolidated  balance 
sheet. Short term leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not presented on the balance sheet with expense 
recognized as incurred.
