Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), SigmaTron’s 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 wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (“SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan branch (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.
COVID-19 and CARES Act
A pandemic of respiratory diseases, including variants (commonly known as "COVID-19") began to spread globally, including to the United States, in early 2020. 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, global supply chain, 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.

Note B - Basis of Presentation - Continued
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 may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of future operations, financial position, and liquidity in fiscal year 2022.
On March 27, 2020, former President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” It also appropriated funds for the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) 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.
As further described in Note E, the Company received funds under the PPP Loan in the amount of $
Under the terms of all PPP Loans, all aspects of the PPP Loan remain subject to review by the SBA. While the Company is not aware of any issues, if it is later determined that it violated applicable laws or was otherwise ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, the Company will be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety in a lump sum and may be subject to additional penalties. If these events were to transpire, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity for the remainder of fiscal year 2022 and beyond.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts recorded in the prior-period consolidated financial statements presented have been reclassified to conform to the current-period financial statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations.

From time to time the Company is involved in legal proceedings, claims or investigations that are incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. In future periods, the Company could be subjected to cash cost or non-cash charges to earnings if any of these matters are resolved on unfavorable terms. However, although the ultimate outcome of any legal matter cannot be predicted with certainty, based on present information, including management’s assessment of the merits of any particular claim, the Company does not expect that these legal proceedings or claims will have any material adverse impact on its future consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The potential impact of future disruptions and 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 possible that these potential adverse impacts may result in the recognition of material impairments of the Company’s long-lived assets or other related charges in future periods.

During the three month period ending July 31, 2021,
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 $

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. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance 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 expedients and exceptions 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 amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022, that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. In January 2021, the FASB issued clarification on the scope of relief related to the reference rate reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

The Company leases office and storage space, vehicles and other equipment under non-cancellable operating leases with initial terms typically ranging from
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 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.

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 risks inherent in any merger, acquisition or business combination; 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 as well as the expenses of acquisitions; the collection of aged account receivables; the variability of the Company’s customers’ requirements; the impact of inflation on the Company’s operating results; 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 and restrictive covenants under its loan agreements; 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 and variants (commonly known as “COVID-19”) 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.

Overview:
The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of EMS, which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; and (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.
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 the three month periods ended July 31, 2021 and July 31, 2020.
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.
The Company reported an excellent quarter to start fiscal year 2022. Pre-tax income was $9,553,661, which included forgiveness of the Company’s Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Paycheck Protection Program Loan (“PPP Loan”) in the amount of $6,282,973. The extinguishment of debt of $6,282,973 was recorded as income during the quarter ended July 31, 2021. The Company posted revenue of $85,739,434. Both of the revenue and pre-tax income numbers, excluding the PPP Loan income, are records for the Company’s quarterly operating results.
While the Company’s backlog remains strong, it continues to face continuing challenges on the supply chain side. Semiconductor products, in particular, remain difficult to locate and often are purchased at a premium. The Company has seen several customers start to push out orders but other customers continue to ramp up and increase demand. It is difficult to predict how this will sort itself out going

forward. The Company expects the shortage of certain components will be with it through calendar 2022 and perhaps part or all of 2023. This is dependent upon a continuing strong economy. Several of the Company’s new customers have started to increase demand and the Company expects its revenue to grow going forward, especially in the safety and renewable energy markets.
On July 21,2021, the Company and Wagz signed a definitive Agreement and are working towards closure. The Company remains encouraged by the current market reaction to the latest version of the Wagz Freedom Smart Dog Collar and continues to believe that the upside of the transaction is significant for the shareholders and the Company looks forward to closing that transaction.

Net Sales
Net sales increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, to $85,739,434 from $60,524,956 for the three month period ended July 31, 2020. The Company’s sales increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year in the consumer electronics, industrial electronics and medical/life science marketplaces. Sales in the first three months increased due to increasing demand from existing and new customers.
Gross Profit
Gross profit dollars increased during the three month period ended July 31, 2021, to $9,582,478 or 11.2% of net sales compared to $4,272,191 or 7.1% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, was primarily the result of increased sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2022.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $6,111,015 or 7.1% of net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to $5,059,525 or 8.4% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The net increase in selling and administrative expenses for the three month period
SigmaTron International, Inc.
July 31, 2021
ended July 31, 2021, was attributable to an increase in bonus expense and miscellaneous taxes. The increase in the foregoing expenses was partially offset by a decrease in sales expenses and legal professional fees.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased to $237,916 for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to $338,264 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in interest expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, was due to the lower interest rates from the Company’s banking arrangements and decreased long-term debt obligations.
Income Tax Expense
The income tax expense was $756,945 for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to an income tax benefit of $220,834 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 7.92% and 19.69% for the quarters ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in income tax expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2021 compared to the same period in the previous year is due to income recognized in the current quarter compared to a loss in the previous year. The decrease in effective tax rate is due to tax exempt income recognized in the current quarter due to the gain on extinguishment of the PPP Loan debt.
Net Income
Net income increased to $8,796,716 for the three month period ended July 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $900,666 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. A substantial part of the increase in net income was attributable to the one-time extinguishment of the PPP Loan debt. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 were $2.06 and $2.02 respectively, compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.21 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
Operating Activities.
Cash flow used in operating activities was $5,142,601 for the three months ended July 31, 2020. During the first three months of fiscal year 2021, cash flow used in operating activities was primarily the result of net loss, a decrease in accounts payable of $11,118,270. The decrease in accounts payable was primarily the result of the timing of payments. Cash flow used in operating activities was partially
SigmaTron International, Inc.
July 31, 2021
offset by the result of a decrease in accounts receivable and inventory of $2,787,494 and $1,972,771, respectively.
Investing Activities.
Cash used in investing activities was $4,763,827 for the three months ended July 31, 2021. During the first three months of fiscal year 2022 the Company purchased $2,901,827 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 $3,500,000 in fiscal year 2022. 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. During the first three months of fiscal year 2022 the Company made advances of $1,862,000 to Wagz. As more fully described in Note H – Significant Accounting Policies, on July 19, 2021, the Company signed a Definitive Agreement for a proposed business combination with Wagz. The advances were made in conjunction with the proposed business combination.
Cash used in investing activities was $2,098,756 for the three months ended July 31, 2020. During the first three months of fiscal year 2021, the Company purchased $966,856 in machinery and equipment used in the ordinary course of business. The Company made additional machinery and equipment purchases of $3,780,460 during the balance of fiscal year 2021. During the first three months of fiscal year 2021 the Company made advances of $1,131,900 to Wagz.
Financing Activities.
Cash provided by financing activities of $2,846,560 for the first three months ended July 31, 2021, was primarily the result of net borrowings under the line of credit.
Cash provided by financing activities of $3,308,008 for the first three months ended July 31, 2020, was primarily the result of net borrowings under the line of credit.

Prior to January 29, 2021, the Company had a senior secured credit facility with U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”). The revolving credit facility allowed 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 80% of the Company’s Revolving Line Cap. Prior to its payoff and termination, the U.S. Bank senior secured credit facility was due to expire on March 31, 2022. On January 29, 2021, the Company paid the balance outstanding under the senior secured credit facility in the amount of $25,574,733.

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender has agreed to provide the Company with a secured credit facility maturing on January 29,2026, of which (a) up to $50,000,000 is available on a revolving loan basis, and (b) an aggregate of $6,500,000 was borrowed pursuant to

two term loans (the “Facility”). The Facility is secured by substantially all of SigmaTron’s assets including mortgages on its two Illinois properties.
The Facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds for revolving loans: “CBFR Loans,” the interest on which is based on (A) the “REVLIBOR30 Rate” (as defined in the Agreement) unless the REVLIBOR30 Rate is not available, in which case the interest is generally the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate” in the U.S., plus (B) an applicable margin of 2.0% (effectively 2.25% per annum at July 31, 2021); or “Eurodollar Loans,” the interest on which is based on (X) an interest rate per annum (rounded upwards, if necessary, to the next 1/16 of 1%) equal to the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Agreement) for any interest period multiplied by the Standard Reserve Rate (as defined in the Agreement) plus (Y) an applicable margin of 2.0%. Under the revolving portion of the Facility, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $50,000,000 or (ii) an amount equal to a percentage of the eligible receivable borrowing base plus a percentage of the inventory borrowing base. The Facility is collateralized by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company. Under the Agreement, a minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”) financial covenant of 1.10x is applicable only during an FCCR trigger period which occurs when (i) an event of default (as defined in the Agreement) has occurred and is continuing, and Lender has elected to impose a FCCR trigger period upon notice to the Company or (ii) availability falls below the greater of (a) 10% of the revolving commitment and (b) the outstanding principal amount of the term loans. The Company was not in a FCCR trigger period as of July 31, 2021. Deferred financing costs of $361,734 were capitalized during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021 and will be amortized over the term of the Agreement. As of July 31, 2021, there was $28,853,375 outstanding and $19,454,713 of unused availability under the revolving Facility compared to an outstanding balance of $24,967,668 and $15,947,990 unused availability at April 30, 2021. As of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, the unamortized amount offset against outstanding debt was $325,787 and $343,890, respectively.
On April 23, 2020, the Company received a PPP loan from 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 Company submitted its loan forgiveness application on March 26, 2021. The Company was notified of the forgiveness of the PPP Loan by the SBA on July 9, 2021 and it covers all principal and accrued interest. The accounting for the forgiveness is reflected in the Company’s Statement of Operations under the extinguishment of PPP Loan debt. Under the terms of all PPP Loans, all aspects of the PPP Loan remain subject to review by the SBA. While the Company is not aware of any issues, if it is later determined that it violated applicable laws or was otherwise ineligible to receive the PPP Loan, the Company will be required to repay the PPP Loan in its entirety in a lump sum and may be subject to additional penalties.
On March 15, 2019, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., entered into a credit facility with China Construction Bank. On January 26, 2021, the agreement was amended. Under the agreement SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. can borrow up to 9,000,000 Renminbi, approximately $1,393,000 as of July 31, 2021, and the facility is collateralized by Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd.’s manufacturing building.
