Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

– The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results

may

differ from those estimates.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

–

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability

(i.e.

, the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair value measurements are broken down into

three

levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level

inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for the asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Level

inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level

that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level

inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (

e.g.

, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals or current market) and contractual prices for the underlying financial instrument, as well as other relevant economic measures.

Level

inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are

not

available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and current liabilities approximate their carrying value due to their short-term nature. Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. On a recurring basis, the Company records its marketable securities at fair value using Level

or Level

inputs. (See Note

The Company's non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, for purposes of calculating impairment, include goodwill and any long-lived assets written down to fair value. To measure fair value of such assets, the Company uses Level

inputs consisting of techniques including an income approach and a market approach. The income approach is based on a discounted cash flow analysis and calculates the fair value by estimating the after-tax cash flows attributable to a reporting unit and then discounting the after-tax cash flows to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis require the exercise of significant judgment, including judgment about appropriate discount rates, terminal values, growth rates and the amount and timing of expected future cash flows. There were

transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the

2021,

2020

2019

fiscal years.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents

– The Company considers all money market securities and investments with contractual maturities at the date of purchase of

days or less to be cash equivalents. The Company had

$29,492

and

$2,496

in debt securities included in cash equivalents at

February 28, 2021

and

Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Marketable Securities

– All marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in comprehensive earnings. Realized gains and losses, amortization of premiums and discounts, and interest and dividend income are included in interest and other income, net. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Inventories

– Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (

first

-in,

first

-out method) or net realizable value. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketability based upon the age of the inventory and assumptions about future demand for the Company's products and market conditions.

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

– The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the providing entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (

) we have entered into a binding agreement, (

) the performance obligations have been identified, (

) the transaction price to the customer has been determined, (

) the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations in the contract, and (

) the performance obligations have been satisfied. Revenue is recognized in accordance with contracted shipping terms, which represents the Company's performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs.

Contract with Customer, Sales Allowances and Product Warranties [Policy Text Block]

Sales Allowances and Product Warranties

– The Company records estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns, allowances, and warranty claims. Provisions for such reductions are recorded in the period the sale is recorded and are derived from historical trends and other relevant information. The Company's products are made to customer specifications and tested for adherence to specifications before shipment to customers. Composite structures and assemblies

may

be subject to “airworthiness” acceptance by customers after receipt at the customers' locations. There are

future performance requirements other than the products' meeting the agreed specifications. The Company's basis for providing sales allowances for returns are known situations in which products

may

have failed due to manufacturing defects in products supplied by the Company. The amounts of returns and allowances resulting from defective or damaged products have been less than

1.0%

of sales for each of the Company's last

three

fiscal years.

Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]

Accounts Receivable

–

The Company's accounts receivable are due from purchasers of the Company's products. Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer's financial condition and, generally, collateral is

not

required. Accounts receivable are due within established payment terms and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Accounts outstanding longer than established payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history, the customer's current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the conditions of the general economy and the aerospace industry. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances

may

be required. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

– The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets

may

not

be recoverable. Important factors that could trigger an impairment review include, but are

not

limited to, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes in the use of the Company's assets or strategy of the overall business.

$1,318

of impairments of long-lived assets was recognized in the

2021

fiscal year and

impairments of long-lived assets were recognized in the

2020

2019

fiscal years.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Goodwill and Other

Intangible Assets

– Goodwill is

not

amortized. Other intangible assets are amortized over the useful lives, which is

years, of the assets on a straight-line basis. The Company tests for impairment of intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets

may

not

be recoverable. With respect to goodwill, the Company

first

assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than

not

that the fair value is less than the carrying value. If, based on that assessment, the Company believes it is more likely than

not

that the fair value is less than the carrying value, a

one

-step goodwill impairment test is performed. The Company assesses the impairment of goodwill at least annually. The Company conducts its annual goodwill impairment test as of the

first

day of the

fourth

quarter. The Company concluded that there was

impairment in the

2021

2020

fiscal years.

Contract with Customer, Shipping and Handling Cost, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Shipping Costs

– Most of the costs for

third

-party shippers for transporting products to customers are paid for or reimbursed by customers. The Company records minimal shipping costs in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Property, Plant and Equipment

– Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company capitalizes additions, improvements and major renewals and expenses maintenance, repairs and minor renewals as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures are generally depreciated over

years. Building and leasehold improvements are generally depreciated over

years or the term of the lease, if shorter. The depreciation and amortization expenses associated with property, plant and equipment were

$1,150,

$1,544

and

$1,784

for the

2021,

2020

and

2019

fiscal years, respectively.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

– Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences in the reporting of certain items, such as depreciation and undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, for income tax purposes compared to financial accounting purposes. In evaluating the Company's ability to recover the deferred tax assets within the jurisdiction from which they arise, all positive and negative evidence is considered, including the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies and results of recent acquisitions. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company

may

be required to record additional valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets, resulting in additional income tax expense in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations, or conversely to further reduce the existing valuation allowance, resulting in less income tax expense. The Company evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and assesses the need for additional valuation allowances quarterly. (See Note

Tax benefits are recognized for an uncertain tax position when, in the Company's judgment, it is more likely than

not

that the position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority. For a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-

not

recognition threshold, the tax benefit is measured as the largest amount that is judged to have a greater than

50%

likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. The liability associated with unrecognized tax benefits is adjusted periodically due to changing circumstances and when new information becomes available. Such adjustments are recognized entirely in the period in which they are identified. The effective tax rate includes the net impact of changes in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits and subsequent adjustments as considered appropriate by the Company. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, the Company believes its liability for unrecognized tax benefits is adequate. Interest and penalties, if any, recognized on the liability for unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as income tax expense.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]

Foreign Currency Translation

– Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar as their functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates or historical exchange rates, where applicable, and income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses resulting from translation are recorded as currency translation adjustments in comprehensive earnings and are eliminated when foreign operations are sold or otherwise disposed of.

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

– The Company accounts for stock options, the only form of equity compensation issued by the Company, as compensation expense based on the fair value of the options on the date of grant and recognizes such expense on a straight-line basis over the

four

-year service period during which the options become exercisable, net of forfeitures. The Company determines the fair value of such options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates certain assumptions relating to risk-free interest rate, expected volatility, expected dividend yield and expected life of options, in order to arrive at a fair value estimate.

Treasury Stock Policy [Policy Text Block]

Treasury Stock

– The Company considers all shares of the Company's common stock purchased by the Company as authorized but unissued shares on the trade date. The aggregate purchase price of such shares is reflected as a reduction to Shareholders' Equity, and such shares are held in treasury at cost.

Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]

Leases

- The Company has operating leases related to land, office space, warehouse space and equipment. All of the Company's leases have been assessed to be operating leases. Renewal options are included in the lease terms to the extent the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The incremental borrowing rate represents the Company's ability to borrow on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease term. The leases typically contain renewal options for periods ranging from

one

year to

ten

years and require the Company to pay real estate taxes and other operating costs. The latest land lease expiration is

2068

assuming exercise of all applicable renewal options by the Company. The Company's existing leases are

not

subject to any restrictions or covenants which preclude its ability to pay dividends, obtain financing or exercise its available renewal options.
