CAUTIONARY NOTE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Any statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. When we use the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” “expects,” “believes,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “will” and similar expressions, we are identifying forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future financial events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties described under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and as set forth in Part 1, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 14, 2024. Forward-looking statements may include statements related to, among other things: macroeconomic factors, including inflationary pressures, supply shortages and recessionary pressures; accounting estimates and assumptions; pricing pressures on our products caused by competition; the risk that our products will not gain market acceptance; our ability to obtain additional financing; our ability to successfully prevent our registration with the SEC from being suspended or revoked; our ability to operate our accounting systems effectively; our ability to protect intellectual property; our ability to integrate our Pennsylvania facility into our operations; and our ability to attract and retain key employees. No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance and you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement. Our actual results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements, as they will depend on many factors about which we are unsure, including many factors beyond our control.

Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and related footnotes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, which provide additional information concerning the Company’s financial activities and condition.

Financial Overview

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the financial statements. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates associated with revenue recognition, valuation of inventories, accounting for income taxes and stock-based compensation expense.

Our financial position, results of operations and cash flows are impacted by the accounting policies we have adopted. In order to get a full understanding of our financial statements, one must have a clear understanding of the accounting policies employed. It is important that the discussion of our operating results that follow be read in conjunction with these critical accounting policies which have been disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on June 14, 2024.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $7,217,616, reflecting an increase of $2,109,859, or 41.3%, as compared to $5,107,757 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue for the period was principally on account of an 85% increase in defense revenues driven principally by continuing conditions of geopolitical uncertainty, 366% increase in space revenue, driven principally by continued investment in commercial space related programs, offset by a decline of 38% in commercial aerospace revenue, driven in part by recent challenges faced by a major aircraft manufacturer.

Cost of products sold for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $5,569,467, reflecting an increase of $1,089,717 or 24.3%, as compared to $4,479,750 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in our cost of products sold is attributable to the quarterly increase in revenue, offset in part by the realization of production efficiencies associated with higher volumes of production.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $1,594,721 reflecting an increase of $214,725, or 15.6%, as compared to $1,379,996 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was principally due to an increase in marketing costs and revenue driven sales commissions.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $183,514, reflecting a decrease of $33,686, or 15.5%, as compared to $217,200 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was principally attributable to reduced amortization in the current period for certain fully amortized assets.

Total other income for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was income of $68,446, reflecting an increase of $25,310, as compared to income of $43,136 for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Provision for income taxes was $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was principally attributable to the loss before provision for income taxes incurred for the period, the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income and the impact of maintaining a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, net.

Revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $21,663,717, reflecting an increase of $7,065,127, or 48.4%, as compared to $14,598,590 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in revenue for the period was principally on account of a 71.3% increase in defense revenues, driven by continuing conditions of geopolitical uncertainty, as we continue to see strong orders from defense customers. Space revenues increased 118.1% driven principally by a robust market for commercial space projects in which we participate.

Cost of products sold for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $16,074,065, reflecting an increase of $3,458,460, or 27.4%, as compared to $12,615,605 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in our cost of products sold is attributable to an increase in order volume, offset in part by production efficiencies achieved with higher levels of production.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $4,655,872 reflecting a decrease of $103,107, or 2.2%, as compared to $4,758,979 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was principally due to a decrease in accounting and consulting fees offset by an increase in marketing and costs of additional sales personnel.

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was $557,691, reflecting a decrease of $90,331, or 13.9%, as compared to $648,022 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was principally attributable to reduced amortization in the current period for certain fully amortized assets while the company continues to monitor fixed assets investment.

Total other income for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was income of $201,501, reflecting an increase of $120,043, as compared to income of $81,458 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase in interest income earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Provision for income taxes was $0 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was principally attributable to the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income and the impact of maintaining a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, net. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to the loss before provision for income taxes incurred for the period and the impact of recording a full valuation allowance on the Company’s deferred tax assets, net.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Our primary requirements for liquidity and capital are working capital, inventory, capital expenditures, public company costs and general corporate needs. We expect these needs to continue as we further develop and grow our business. For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, our primary sources of liquidity came from existing cash. Based on our current plans and business conditions, we believe that existing cash, together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements in fiscal year 2025 and into fiscal year 2026, and we are not aware of any trends or demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that are reasonably likely to result in a decrease in liquidity of our assets. We may require additional capital to respond to technological advancements, competitive dynamics or technologies, business opportunities, challenges, acquisitions or unforeseen circumstances and in either the short-term or long-term may determine to engage in equity or debt financings or enter into credit facilities for other reasons. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us, when we require it, our ability to continue to grow or support our business and to respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In particular, inflationary pressures and elevated interest rates, the conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, and any economic uncertainty as a result of the change in presidential administration in the U.S. may result in significant disruption and volatility in the global financial markets, reducing our ability to access capital. If we are unable to raise additional funds when or on the terms desired, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

As of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were $9,041,167 and $6,139,823, respectively. The Company has recorded net income of $577,590 and net loss of $3,342,558 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company had working capital of $19,460,819 and $18,295,711 and shareholders’ equity of $22,643,708 and $21,799,518, respectively.

Our principal source of liquidity has been from cash flows generated by operating activities and our cash reserves.

Cash Flow Activities for the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2024 Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2023

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $3,114,787 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and net cash used in operating activities was $3,332,087 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. The period over period increase in cash provided by operating activities of $6,446,874 was primarily due to the $3,920,148 improvement in net income, $1,282,261 reduction in cash required for inventories and an increase in cash received from customers of $625,877.

Net cash used in investing activities was $213,443 and $129,186 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The increase in cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was principally due to increases in purchases of property and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0 and $56,550 for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 was attributable to there being no stock option exercises during the nine months ended December 31, 2024.

Backlog of Orders

The backlog of orders for the Company’s products amounted to approximately $12,830,000 at December 31, 2024 as compared to approximately $16,990,000 at December 31, 2023. The orders in backlog at December 31, 2024 are expected to ship over the next 12 months depending on customer requirements and product availability.

Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has continued to impact the costs of our operations and depending upon the current duration and degree of higher inflation levels, is expected to have an impact upon our operations in the future. Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.

Not applicable.

Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in paragraph (e) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) designed to ensure that the information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or furnish under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified under the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (our principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer) carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of December 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our internal controls that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

There are no legal proceedings that have occurred within the past year concerning our directors, or control persons which involved a criminal conviction, a criminal proceeding, an administrative or civil proceeding limiting one’s participation in the securities or banking industries, or a finding of securities or commodities law violations.

On August 17, 2022, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings (the “Order”) and Notice of Hearing pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Exchange Act. The stated purpose of the administrative proceeding is for the SEC to determine whether it is necessary and appropriate for the protection of investors to suspend for a period not exceeding twelve months, or revoke the registration of each class of securities of the Company registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The Company filed an answer to the Order on October 3, 2022 and on October 13, 2022, we conducted a prehearing conference with SEC staff in the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. On March 1, 2023, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement filed a Motion for Summary Disposition, on March 15, 2023, IEH filed an opposition brief to the SEC Division of Enforcement’s Motion for Summary Disposition, and on March 29, 2023, the SEC’s Division of Enforcement filed a Reply in Support of its Motion for Summary Disposition. On December 22, 2023, the Company filed a Cross-Motion for Summary Disposition. The SEC’s Division of Enforcement filed an opposition to the Company’s Cross-Motion for Summary Disposition on February 21, 2024. On March 4, 2024, the Company filed a Reply in Support of its Motion for Summary Disposition. The SEC will issue a decision on the basis of the record in the proceeding.

On March 19, 2024, William H. Craig, the former Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company, filed a lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York related to Mr. Craig’s resignation as an executive officer of the Company. On November 5, 2024, Mr. Craig and the Company executed a final settlement agreement for all claims against the Company. The terms of the settlement are confidential. Neither the litigation nor its resolution had any material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Our operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on June 14, 2024, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the trading price of our common and capital stock. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
