“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.

States as of April 30, 2020, 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, 8% and 4% were located in China and Mexico, respectively, and 1% in other foreign
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
7
commissions based on orders received by the Company and are assigned specific accounts, not territories. In
addition, the Company markets itself through its website and tradeshows.
Mexico, Vietnam and China Operations
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Standard Components de Mexico, S.A, a Mexican corporation, is
located in Acuna, Coahuila Mexico, a border town across the Rio Grande River from Del Rio, Texas, and is 155
miles west of San Antonio. Standard Components de Mexico, S.A. was incorporated and commenced
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.
9

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.
11
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.
14
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.

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
31
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.

material impact on the financial results of the Company. The impact of currency fluctuations for the fiscal year

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

which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.”

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
