The Company's products are used as components in a broad range of military, space and industrial systems, including aircraft instrumentation and navigation systems, power supplies, electronic controls, computers, medical devices, and high-temperature (200o C) products.


The Company's products are either custom (being application-specific circuits designed and manufactured to meet the particular requirements of a single customer) or standard proprietary components such as catalog items. Custom-designed components accounted for approximately 34% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, and were 30% for fiscal 2010.Standard components accounted for approximately 66% of the Company's sales for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2011, and were 70% for fiscal 2010.

The Company provides microelectronic and optoelectronic components and assemblies along with contract electronic manufacturing services and offers a wide range of products sold to the industrial, medical, military, aerospace and space markets.


Sales in 2011 were approximately $20,205,000, a decrease of 12.4% or $2,865,000 compared to 2010 sales. The major decrease in sales was in microcircuits space level products with a delay or decrease in new orders in the space industry.

Sales through the Company's distribution channels were $3,790,000 in 2011 compared to $3,026,000 in 2010, or 19% and 13% of sales, respectively.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, was 65.8% in 2011 compared to63.3% in 2010. The increase of 2.5% as a percent of sales is attributable to lower sales volume of microcircuit space level products in 2011. In actual dollars, cost of sales decreased $1,301,000 for 2011 versus 2010 with a material cost decrease of $1,076,000 and labor cost decrease of $129,000 with the lower sales of space level products.

In 2011, the Company's investment in technology through research and development, which was expensed, totaled approximately $610,000 ($455,000 in 2010).

There were no significant outstanding commitments for equipment purchases or improvements at November 30, 2011.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements The Company has no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies Revenue Recognition Revenues are recorded as shipments are made based upon contract prices. Any losses anticipated on fixed price contracts are provided for currently. Sales are recorded net of sales returns, allowances and discounts.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-10-S99, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605-10-S99). ASC 605-10-S99 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenues can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) shipment hasoccurred or services have been rendered; (3) the fee is fixed and determinable;and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Inventories Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market value and include material, labor and manufacturing overhead. All inventories are valued using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method of inventory valuation. The Company determines the need to write inventory down below its cost via an analysis based on the usage of inventory over a three year period and projected usage based on current backlog.

Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method.

Under this method the Company records deferred income taxes for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. The resulting deferred tax liabilities and assets are adjusted to reflect changes in tax law or rates in the period that includes the enactment date.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
