CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIA

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE A – CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management of Frequency Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2021 and the results of its operations, changes in Stockholders’ Equity for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. The April 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP’). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, filed on June 30, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full fiscal year. COVID-19 Pandemic The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as of the date of this report. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic may have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. For the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company was impacted by employee absenteeism related to direct or indirect effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and delays in the receipt of anticipated new contracts from customers due to COVID-19 related administrative delays. Management has taken steps to minimize COVID-19 related impacts to our workforce. Given the changing dynamics of the pandemic, it is not possible for the Company to estimate potential future adverse effects on its operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2022. As of July 30, 2021, the Company has returned to normal operations and will continue to follow CDC and state guidelines with an emphasis on employee safety. The Company faces various future COVID-19 related risks. The Company is dependent on its workforce to design and manufacture its products. If significant portions of the Company’s workforce are unable to work effectively, or if the U.S. Government, state and/or other customers or supplier operations are curtailed due to illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, or other restrictions, the Company’s operations may be impacted. If so, the Company may be unable to perform fully on its contracts and costs may increase. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable or adequately covered by insurance. In the latter part of fiscal year 2021, the Company did experience some disruption due to the need to vacate certain areas of its facilities for cleaning and disinfecting as a result of employees potentially being exposed to COVID-19 or following positive COVID-19 test results. Also, certain of the Company’s vendors have been unable to deliver materials on time due to COVID-19 related impacts to their workforces or their supply chains. These delays impacted the Company’s production costs and schedules. Vendor delivery performance is being closely monitored and alternate sources of supply are generally available and, in some cases, are being established.

RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2021
Disclosure Text Block [Abstract]
Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]	NOTE F – RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE LIABILITIES The Company’s leases primarily represent offices, warehouses, vehicles, and manufacturing and research and development facilities which expire at various times through 2029 and are operating leases. Contractual arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine if the agreement contains a lease. Certain lease agreements contain renewal options, rent abatement, and escalation clauses that are factored into our determination of lease payments when appropriate. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recorded based on the present value of future lease payments which factor in certain qualifying initial direct costs incurred as well as any lease incentives that may have been received. Lease expenses for operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease terms may factor in options to extend or terminate the lease. The Company elected the practical expedient for short-term leases which allows leases with terms of twelve months or less to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term without being recognized on the balance sheet. The table below presents ROU assets and liabilities recorded on the respective consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands): Classification July 31, 2021 April 30, 2021 (unaudited) Assets Operating lease ROU assets Right-of-Use assets - operating leases $ 9,433 $ 9,773 Liabilities Operating lease liabilities (short-term) Operating lease liability 1,814 1,715 Operating lease liabilities (long-term) Operating lease liability - non-current 7,922 8,366 Total lease liabilities $ 9,736 $ 10,081 Total operating lease expense was $506,000 and $478,000 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the majority of which is included in cost of revenues and the remaining amount in selling and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The table below reconciles the undiscounted cash flows for each of the first five fiscal years and total of the remaining fiscal years to the operating lease liabilities recorded on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 31, 2021: Fiscal Year Ending July 31, ( ) Remainder of 2022 $ 1,267 2023 1,837 2024 1,849 2025 1,723 2026 1,317 Thereafter 4,175 Total lease payments 12,168 Less imputed interest (2,432) Present value of future lease payments 9,736 Less current obligations under leases (1,814) Long-term lease obligations 7,922 As of July 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining lease term for all operating leases was 7.2 years. The Company does not generally have access to the rate implicit in the leases and therefore utilized the Company’s borrowing rate as the discount rate. The weighted average discount rate for operating leases as of July 31, 2021 was 6.20%.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

SEGMENT INFORMATION	3 Months Ended
	Jul. 31, 2021
Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE G – SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates under two reportable segments based on the geographic locations of its subsidiaries: (1) FEI-NY – operates out of New York and its operations consist principally of precision time and frequency control products used in three principal markets: satellites (both commercial and U.S. Government-funded); terrestrial cellular telephone or other ground-based telecommunication stations; and other components and systems for the U.S. military. The FEI-NY segment also includes the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, FEI-Elcom. FEI-Elcom, in addition to its own product line, provides design and technical support for the FEI-NY segment’s satellite business. (2) FEI-Zyfer – operates out of California and its products incorporate Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies into systems and subsystems for secure communications, both government and commercial, and other locator applications. FEI-Zyfer’s products also incorporate precision time references for terrestrial secure communications and command and control, and frequency products that incorporate GPS. FEI-Zyfer’s GPS capability complements the Company’s existing technologies and permits the combined entities to provide a broader range of embedded systems for a variety of timing functions and anti-spoofing (“SAASM”) applications. The Company measures segment performance based on total revenues and profits generated by each geographic location rather than on the specific types of customers or end-users. Consequently, the Company determined that the segments indicated above most appropriately reflect the way the Company’s management views the business. The accounting policies of the two segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the fiscal year-end financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2021, filed on June 30, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on operating profit which is defined as income before investment income, interest expense and taxes. All acquired assets, including intangible assets, are included in the assets of both reporting segments. The tables below present information about reported segments with reconciliation of segment amounts to consolidated amounts as reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations or the condensed consolidated balance sheets for each of the periods (in thousands): Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 2020 Revenues: FEI-NY $ 10,162 $ 9,839 FEI-Zyfer 3,136 3,922 less intersegment revenues (343 ) (810 ) Consolidated revenues $ 12,955 $ 12,951 Operating (loss) income: FEI-NY $ (1,011 ) $ (623 ) FEI-Zyfer 33 361 less intersegment revenues (20 ) - Corporate (689 ) (75 ) Consolidated operating loss $ (1,687 ) $ (337 ) July 31, 2021 April 30, 2021 Identifiable assets: FEI-NY $ 37,111 $ 34,869 FEI-Zyfer 12,233 12,888 less intersegment balances - - Corporate 37,220 38,259 Consolidated identifiable assets $ 86,564 $ 86,016 Total revenue recognized over time as POC and Passage of Title (“POT”) were approximately $12.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of the $13.0 million reported for the three months ended July 31, 2021.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]
Investments in Debt and Marketable Equity Securities (and Certain Trading Assets) Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE I – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses, and fair market value of available-for-sale securities at July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, respectively, were as follows (in thousands): July 31, 2021 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Fixed income securities $ 9,594 $ 432 $ (62 ) $ 9,964 April 30, 2021 Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Market Value Fixed income securities $ 10,022 $ 393 $ (102 ) $ 10,313 The following table presents the fair value and unrealized losses, aggregated by investment type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands): Less than 12 months 12 Months or more Total Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized Fair Value Unrealized July 31, 2021 Fixed Income Securities $ 1,390 $ (26 ) $ 859 $ (36 ) $ 2,249 $ (62 ) April 30, 2021 Fixed Income Securities $ 1,793 $ (52 ) $ 614 $ (50 ) $ 2,407 $ (102 ) The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. The Company does not believe that its investments in marketable securities with unrealized losses at July 31, 2021 were other-than-temporary due to market volatility of the security’s fair value, analysts’ expectations and the Company’s ability to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recoveries in market value. During the three months ended July 31, 2021, the Company sold or redeemed available-for-sale securities of approximately $1,102,000 realizing gains of approximately $7,000. Maturities of fixed income securities classified as available-for-sale at July 31, 2021 were as follows, at cost (in thousands): Current $ 3,368 Due after one year through five years 3,758 Due after five years 2,468 $ 9,594 The fair value accounting framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below: Level 1 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 Inputs to the valuation methodology include: -Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; -Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; -Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and -Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Level 3 Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company’s money market, business account, and U.S. securities are valued on a Level 1 basis. The Company’s fixed income corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit are valued on a Level 2 basis.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block]	NOTE L – VALUATION ALLOWANCE ON DEFERRED TAX ASSETS Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. As required by the authoritative guidance on accounting for income taxes, we evaluate the realization of deferred tax assets on a jurisdictional basis at each reporting date. We consider all positive and negative evidence, including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and results of recent operations. Accounting for income taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In circumstances where there is sufficient negative evidence indicating that the deferred tax assets will not be realizable, we establish a valuation allowance. As of July 31, 2021, and April 30, 2021, the Company maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. If these estimates and assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to adjust its existing valuation allowance resulting in changes to deferred income tax expense.
