NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We develop and sell devices that use spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information.
NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain disclosures have been omitted as allowed, and it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. The results of operations for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.
Significant accounting policies
A description of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2021. As of December 31, 2021, there were no changes to our significant accounting policies.
NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted ASU 2019-12 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on our financial statements.
New Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which is fiscal 2023 for us, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each period. Net income per diluted share amounts assume exercise of all stock options. The following tables show the components of diluted shares:

NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our corporate bonds and money market funds are classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at estimated fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Corporate bonds with remaining maturities less than one year are classified as short-term, and those with remaining maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term. We consider all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including money market funds, to be cash equivalents. Gains and losses on marketable security transactions are reported on the specific-identification method.
Contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:

Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value, provide a definition of fair value, and prescribe required disclosures about fair-value measurements. Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Generally accepted accounting principles utilize a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 – Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are determined using either prices for similar instruments or inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as interest rates.
Level 3 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
Money market funds are included on the balance sheets in “Cash and cash equivalents.” Corporate bonds are included on the balance sheets in “Marketable securities, short term” and “Marketable securities, long term.”
The following table shows the estimated fair value of assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, have degraded outlooks for some of our marketable securities’ issuers, which could lead to credit-quality downgrades in the future. When evaluating for impairment we assess indicators that include, but are not limited to, earnings performance, changes in underlying credit ratings, market conditions, bona fide offers to purchase or sell, and ability to hold until maturity. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did consider any of our marketable securities to be impaired as of December 31, 2021.NOTE 6.

We conduct our operations in a leased facility under a non-cancellable lease expiring March 31, 2026. Our lease does not provide an implicit rate, so we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs consist primarily of common area maintenance and real estate taxes which are paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Details of our operating lease are as follows:

Total revenue for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 (the third quarter of fiscal 2022) decreased 4% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2020 (the third quarter of fiscal 2021). The decrease was due to a 7% decrease in product sales partially offset by an 86% increase in contract research and development revenue.
The decrease in product sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from the prior-year quarter was primarily due to raw materials shortages and longer lead-times for critical materials and services. The increase in contract research and development revenue was due to new contracts.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 78% the third quarter of fiscal 2022 from 84% the third quarter of fiscal 2021 primarily due to revenue mix and increased costs.
Total expenses decreased 14% in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due to a 15% decrease in research and development expense and a 13% decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to staffing changes and the completion of certain product development activities. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expense was primarily due to staffing changes.
Interest income for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 decreased 22% due to a decrease in our available-for-sale securities and a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities.
The 12% decrease in net income in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to decreased revenue, decreased gross margin, and decreased interest income partially offset by decreased expenses.

Total revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2021 increased 31% compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The increase was due to a 31% increase in product sales and a 17% increase in contract research and development revenue.
The increase in product sales from the prior-year period was primarily due to increased purchases by existing customers, and sales increased in most of our markets and product lines. The increase in contract research and development revenue was due to new contracts.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 77% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 from 82% for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 primarily due to revenue mix and increased costs.
Total expenses decreased 3% for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2021 due to a 12% decrease in research and development expense, partially offset by a 19% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense. The decrease in research and development expense was primarily due to staffing changes and the completion of certain product development activities. The increase in selling, general, and administrative expense was primarily due to increased employee compensation expense.
Interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 decreased 26% due to a decrease in our available-for-sale securities and a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities.
The 25% increase in net income in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to an increase in product sales.
The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
We believe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer demand was significantly less in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior-year periods. We believe the impact of the pandemic on our supply chain, however, was significantly more in the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2021 than in the prior-year periods. The effects of the pandemic also increased labor and materials costs and expenses for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2021.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Cash and cash equivalents were $8,967,657 as of December 31, 2021 compared to $10,427,340 as of March 31, 2021. The $1,459,683 decrease in cash and cash equivalents during first nine months of fiscal 2022 was due to $14,499,696 of cash used in financing activities partially offset by $9,098,330 in net cash provided by operating activities and $3,941,683 of cash provided by investing activities.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities related to product sales and research and development contract revenue as our primary source of working capital for the current and prior year quarters. Net cash provided by operating activities was $9,098,330 for first nine months of fiscal 2022 and $8,531,068 for the first nine months of fiscal 2021.
Accounts receivable increased by $1,073,922 during first nine months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to the timing of sales to and payments from customers.
Prepaid expenses and other assets increased by $435,067 due to the timing of estimated tax payments.
Inventories increased $466,898 due primarily to our decisions to increase work in process in order to mitigate longer vendor lead-times.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 consisted of $4,000,000 in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, partially offset by $58,317 in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures can vary from quarter to quarter depending on our needs and equipment purchasing opportunities. We have ordered several pieces of production equipment to increase our capacity. Therefore, we currently expect significantly more capital expenditures during fiscal 2022 than the $62,727 we invested in fiscal 2021.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2021 consisted of $14,499,696 of cash dividends paid to shareholders. In addition to cash dividends to shareholders paid in first nine months of fiscal 2022, on January 19, 2022 we announced that our Board had declared a cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock, or $4,833,714 based on shares outstanding as of January 14, 2022, to be paid February 28, 2022. We plan to fund dividends through cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. All future dividends will be subject to Board approval and subject to the company’s results of operations, cash and marketable security balances, estimates of future cash requirements, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, dividends may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
We currently believe our working capital and cash generated from operations will be adequate for our needs at least for the next 12 months.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. This evaluation included consideration of the controls, processes, and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Although there have been changes in personnel involved in our controls, processes, and procedures, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of business we may become involved in litigation. At this time we are not aware of any material pending or threatened legal proceedings or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities that we expect would have a material adverse impact on our future results of operation and financial condition.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021.

NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently Adopted Accounting Standard
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. ASU 2019-12 simplifies accounting for income taxes, removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted ASU 2019-12 beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The adoption had no material impact on our financial statements. New Accounting Standard Not Yet Adopted
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. ASU 2021-04 addresses issuer’s accounting for certain modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options. ASU 2021-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021 and interim periods within those fiscal years, which is fiscal 2023 for us, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect adoption of the new guidance to have a significant impact on our financial statements. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] |
NOTE 5. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our corporate bonds and money market funds are classified as available-for-sale securities and carried at estimated fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the statement of shareholders’ equity. Corporate bonds with remaining maturities less than one year are classified as short-term, and those with remaining maturities greater than one year are classified as long-term. We consider all highly-liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased, including money market funds, to be cash equivalents. Gains and losses on marketable security transactions are reported on the specific-identification method.
Contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities as of December 31, 2021 are as follows:
Total available-for-sale securities represented approximately 84% of our total assets. Marketable securities as of December 31, 2021 had remaining maturities between weeks and 38 months.
Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value, provide a definition of fair value, and prescribe required disclosures about fair-value measurements. Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Generally accepted accounting principles utilize a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 – Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are determined using either prices for similar instruments or inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as interest rates.
Level 3 – Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques.
Money market funds are included on the balance sheets in “Cash and cash equivalents.” Corporate bonds are included on the balance sheets in “Marketable securities, short term” and “Marketable securities, long term.”
The following table shows the estimated fair value of assets that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:
Our available-for-sale securities as of December 31 and March 31, 2021, aggregated into classes of securities, were as follows:
The following table shows the gross unrealized holding losses and fair value of our available-for-sale securities with unrealized holding losses, aggregated by class of securities and length of time that individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2021.
We did consider any of our available-for-sale securities to be impaired as of December 31, 2021. of the securities were impaired at acquisition, and subsequent declines in fair value are not attributed to declines in credit quality. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, have degraded outlooks for some of our marketable securities’ issuers, which could lead to credit-quality downgrades in the future. When evaluating for impairment we assess indicators that include, but are not limited to, earnings performance, changes in underlying credit ratings, market conditions, bona fide offers to purchase or sell, and ability to hold until maturity. Because we believe it is more likely than not we will recover the cost basis of our investments, we did consider any of our marketable securities to be impaired as of December 31, 2021. |

We conduct our operations in a leased facility under a non-cancellable lease expiring March 31, 2026. Our lease does not provide an implicit rate, so we used our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease costs consist primarily of common area maintenance and real estate taxes which are paid based on actual costs incurred by the lessor. Details of our operating lease are as follows:

On August 27, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized up to $5,000,000 of additional repurchases.
