NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We develop and sell devices that use spintronics, a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire, store, and transmit information.
NOTE 2. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. The results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2018.
NOTE 3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-11,
Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.
ASU 2015-11 requires inventory that is recorded using the first-in, first-out method to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. We adopted ASU 2015-11 prospectively in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
CompensationStock Compensation
, which simplifies the accounting for the taxes related to stock based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a companys payments for tax withholdings should be classified.We adopted ASU2016-09 prospectively in the first quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2018. The adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Information regarding all other applicable recently issued accounting standards, on which our position have not changed since our latest annual financial statements, are contained in the financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each period. Net income per diluted share amounts assume exercise of all stock options. Stock options totaling 10,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common stock.
The following table shows the components of diluted shares:

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
There were no stock-based compensation expenses for the first quarters of fiscal 2018 or 2017.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2017, and we do not expect any significant unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of the reporting date. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2017 we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 1999 and 2013 through 2016 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value, provide a definition of fair value and prescribe required disclosures about fair-value measurements. Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Generally accepted accounting principles utilize a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 financial instruments consist of publicly-traded marketable corporate debt securities, which are classified as available-for-sale. On the balance sheets, these securities are included in Marketable securities, short term and Marketable securities, long term. The fair value of our Level 1 marketable securities was $78,916,563 as of June 30, 2017 and $75,098,153 as of March 31, 2017.
Level 2 Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are determined using either prices for similar instruments or inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as interest rates. We had one Level 2 financial instrument, a municipal debt security, which is classified as available-for-sale. The fair value of the Level 2 marketable security was $1,294,257 as of June 30, 2017 and $1,304,603 as of March 31, 2017. The security was included in Marketable securities, short term on the June 30 and March 31, 2017 balance sheets.
Level 3 Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities being measured at fair value that are classified as Level 3 financial instruments.

NOTE 10. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
On January 21, 2009 we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of our Common Stock, and on August 27, 2015 we announced that our Board authorized $5,000,000 of additional repurchases. We did not repurchase any of our Common Stock under the program during the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The remaining authorization was $4,540,806 as of June 30, 2017. The Repurchase Program may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 19, 2017 we announced that our Board had declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.00 per share of Common Stock to be paid August 31, 2017 to shareholders of record as of the close of business July 31, 2017.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Forward-looking statements
Some of the statements made in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report and in other materials filed or to be filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as information included in verbal or written statements made by us constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate, intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue, or the negatives of these terms or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that this Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, you should be aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to our reliance on several large customers for a significant percentage of revenue, uncertainties related to the economic environments in the industries we serve, uncertainties related to future contract research and development revenue, uncertainties related to future stock repurchases and dividend payments, and other specific risks that may be alluded to in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Report.
Further information regarding our risks and uncertainties are contained in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended March 31, 2017.

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 (the first quarter of fiscal 2018) increased 13% compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2016 (the first quarter of fiscal 2017). The increase was due to an 18% increase in product sales, partially offset by a 15% decrease in contract research and development revenue.
The increase in product sales from the prior-year quarter was primarily due to new customers. The decrease in contract research and development revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was due to the completion of certain contracts.
Gross profit margin decreased to 76% of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to 79% for the first quarter of fiscal 2017, due to decreased gross profit margins on product sales with a less profitable product sales mix.
Total expenses increased 14% for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2017, due to a 2% increase in selling, general, and administrative expense and a 19% increase in research and development expense. The increase in research and development expense was due to increased new product development activities.
Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased 17% due to a decrease in marketable securities and a decrease in the average interest rates on those securities.
The 5% increase in net income in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to increased product sales, partially offset by decreased contract research and development revenue, decreased gross profit margin, increased expenses, and decreased interest income.

Liquidity and capital resources
Overview
Cash and cash equivalents were $4,377,913 as of June 30, 2017 compared to $8,199,364 as of March 31, 2017. The $3,821,451 decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was due to $4,841,010 cash used in financing activities and $4,203,008 cash used in investing activities, partially offset by $5,222,567 in net cash provided by operating activities. We currently believe our working capital and cash generated from operations will be adequate for our needs at least for the next 12 months.
Operating Activities
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $1,449,379 primarily due an increase in income taxes payable of $1,476,092 because we had no estimated income tax payments due in the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was due to purchases of $393,398 of fixed assets and $3,809,610
of marketable securities.
Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 was due to a $4,841,010 cash dividend paid to shareholders. In addition to dividend paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, on July 19, 2017 we announced that our Board had declared a cash quarterly dividend of $1.00 per share of common stock, or $4,841,010 based on shares outstanding as of July 14, 2017, to be paid August 31, 2017. We plan to fund dividends through cash provided by operating activities and proceeds from maturities of marketable securities. All future dividends will be subject to Board approval and subject to the companys results of operations, cash and marketable security balances, estimates of future cash requirements, and other factors the Board may deem relevant. Furthermore, dividends may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As discussed in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, we are exposed to financial market risks, primarily marketable securities and, to a lesser extent, changes in currency exchange rates.
Marketable Securities
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing after-tax yields without significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable securities in securities including municipal obligations, corporate obligations, and money market funds. Short-term and long-term marketable securities are generally classified as available-for-sale and consequently are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, net of estimated tax. Our marketable securities as of June 30, 2017 had remaining maturities between six and 238 weeks. Marketable securities had a market value of $80,210,820 as of June 30, 2017, representing approximately 86% of our total assets. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures that are defined in
Rules 13a-15(e)
and
15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. This evaluation included consideration of the controls, processes, and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
