SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: | 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES : Revenue Recognition On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Based on a review of its customer contracts, the Company has determined that revenue on the majority of its customer contracts will continue to be recognized at a point in time, generally upon shipment of products, consistent with the Company’s historical revenue recognition model. The core principle of the guidance in Topic 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, the Company applied the following steps: 1. Identify the contract(s) with a customer. The Company designs, manufactures and distributes various types of microelectronic circuits, optoelectronics, and sensors and displays. The Company’s products are used as components and assemblies in a broad range of military, space and industrial systems, including aircraft instrumentation and navigation systems, satellite systems, power supplies, electronic controls, computers, medical devices, and high-temperature (200 o The Company’s revenues are from purchase orders and/or contracts with customers associated with manufacture of products. We account for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable. 2. Identify the performance obligations in the contract. The majority of the Company’s purchase orders or contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, the shipment of products. 3. Determine the transaction price. The transaction price reflects the Company’s expectations about the consideration it will be entitled to receive from the customer at a fixed price per unit shipped based on the terms of the contract or purchase order with the customer. To the extent our actual costs vary from the fixed price that was negotiated, we will generate more or less profit or could incur a loss. 4. Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. 5. Recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. This performance obligation is satisfied when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which occurs upon shipment or delivery. The Company receives purchase orders for products to be delivered over multiple dates that may extend across reporting periods. The Company accounting policy treats shipping and handling activities as a fulfillment cost. For certain contracts under which the Company produces products with no alternative use and for which the Company has an enforceable right to payment during the production cycle, the Company recognizes revenue for the cost incurred of work in process plus a margin at the end of each period and records a contract asset (unbilled receivable). The majority of these products are shipped weekly and monthly to the customer and the contract require us to manage and limit the level of work in process to meet the scheduled delivery dates. In addition, the Company may have a contract or purchase order to provide a non-recurring engineering service to a customer. These contracts are reviewed and performance obligations are determined and we recognize revenue at the point in time in which each performance obligation is fully satisfied Effective as of the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we adopted Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings based on any open contracts at that time for which revenue recognition has changed from a point-in-time recognition model to an over-time recognition model. While the impact to net sales and net income was not material to our results of operations, the future impact of Topic 606 is dependent on the mix and nature of specific customer contracts. Upon adoption, we recognized an increase in retained earnings of $55,000. The details of the adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption as well as the effects of the balance sheet are as follows: Balance at Balance at Assets November 30, 2018 Adjustment due to Topic 606 December 1, 2018 Contract assets $ 0 $ 242 $ 242 Work in process $ 1,985 $ (173) $ 1,812 Deferred income tax net $ 57 $ (15) $ 42 Shareholder equity Retained Earnings $ 24,800 $ 55 $ 24,855 The following table summarize the effects of the new standard on selected line items within the Company’s Condensed Statement of Operations for three months and year ended November 30, 2019.

Receivables, net, contract assets and contract liabilities were as follows: November 30, 2019 November 30, 2018 Receivables, net 3,382 3,772 Contract assets 519 243 Deferred Revenue 390 1,238 Revenue recognized in 2019 that was included in the deferred revenue liability balance at the beginning of the year was $1,024,000. Contract costs The Company does not have material incremental costs to obtain a contract in the form of sales commissions or bonuses. The Company incurs other immaterial costs to obtain and fulfill a contract; however, the Company has elected the practical expedient under ASC 340-40-24-4 to recognize all incremental costs to obtain a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period is one year or less. Short-Term Investments The Company has $2,089,000 and $2,058,000 in short-term investments at November 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Short-term investments consist of certificates of deposits with maturities greater than 90 days. These investments are reported at historical cost, which approximates fair value. All highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less are classified as cash equivalents. All short-term investments are securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold to maturity and mature within one year. Inventories Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable 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 to the lower of cost or net realizable value 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. The Company records a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit for a tax position that is not “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained. The Company did not record any liability for uncertain tax positions as of November 30, 2019. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into United States tax law, which among other provisions lowered the corporate tax rate to 21%. In December 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") 118 to provide guidance for companies that allows for a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effect of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company's accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, the company must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements. ASC 740 requires the effects of changes in tax rates and laws on deferred tax balances to be recognized in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Consequently, as of the date of enactment, and during the twelve months ended November 30, 2018, we revalued all deferred tax assets and liabilities at the newly enacted Federal corporate US income tax rate. This revaluation as of enactment resulted in a non-cash provisional estimate of $77,000 to income tax expense and a corresponding reduction in the net deferred tax asset. Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost, and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method at rates based upon the following estimated useful lives (in years) of the assets: Buildings.......................................................................................................................................................................... 15 Facility improvements................................................................................................................................................ 8-15 Machinery and equipment......................................................................................................................................... 5-10 Furniture and fixtures.................................................................................................................................................... 5-8 The Company assesses long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) ASC 360-10-35, Property, Plant and Equipment – Subsequent Measurement Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Improvements which extend the useful lives of property, plant, and equipment are capitalized. Research and Development Costs Costs for the design and development of new products are expensed as incurred. Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares. During 2019 and 2018, the Company had no dilutive potential common stock. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
