1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Overview of Business

 

We are primarily a supplier of original designed and manufactured (“ODM”) electronic components (“ODM Components”) with our product offerings ranging from discrete semiconductors through small electronic devices. Our products include value-added engineering and turn-key solutions, focusing on providing contract electronic manufacturers (“CEMs”) and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) with ODM products for their multi-year turn-key projects (“ODM Projects”). We also distribute brand name electronic components with a vast inventory available on hand. We are incorporated in California and were originally formed in 1989. We maintain divisions in Taiwan and China which were established in 1996 and 2005, respectively.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned divisions. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

Use of Estimates

 

In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amount reported as revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, accrued liabilities and deferred income taxes.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires the Company to disclose disaggregated jurisdictional and categorical information for the tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other income tax related amounts. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is expected to enhance the Company’s Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its Annual Report.

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires the Company to disaggregate key expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization within its financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annuals periods beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2027, and interim periods within the Company’s fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue recognition

 

Revenue is recognized at the point at which control of the underlying products are transferred to the customer. Satisfaction of our performance obligations occur upon the transfer of control of products, either from our facilities or directly from suppliers to customers. We consider customer purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers.

 

In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which we expect to receive.

 

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority on revenue-producing transactions are excluded from revenue.

 

Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of products sold.

 

Based upon the nature of our contracts with customers and our performance obligations within those contracts, we have no contract assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

 

Nature of products

 

We are primarily a supplier of original designed and manufactured (“ODM”) products that include value-added engineering and turn-key solutions. The following is a description of major products lines from which we generate our revenue:

 

ODM Projects - Our custom made small devices for original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) in their multi-year turn-key projects and marketed in specific industries such as: wild animal feeders, timers for DC motors, public street light controllers, and battery chargers.

 

ODM Components - Our private labeled electronic components.

 

Distribution Components - Our name brand electronic components.

2 – SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

 

Short-term investments, consisting principally of marketable U.S. equity securities, are classified as short-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. Measurement is based on fair value with gains and losses recognized in other income/(expense), net.

 

3 – INVENTORY

 

Inventory – Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) and net realizable value. We had inventory balances in the amount of $2,867,000 and $2,949,000 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is presented net of valuation allowances of $5,155,000 and $5,152,000, respectively. We evaluate inventories to identify excess, high-cost, slow-moving or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins. Due to the complexity of managing and maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the carrying values of inventories. Based on our assumptions about future demand and market conditions, inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If our assumptions about future demand change, or market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories or valuation allowances may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from those estimated.

Balance at March 31, 2025  $128,000   $-   $128,000 

 

Our $128,000 investment in securities as of March 31, 2025 relates to 317,428 shares of preferred convertible debt of Zowie Technology Corporation (Taipei Hsien, Taiwan), a supplier of electronic component products, with our option after three (3) years to convert into common stock or refundable bearing 7% annual interest rate. Our investment represents approximately 6% of their total outstanding shares, although we do not have significant influence or control. This investment is accounted for under the cost (plus impairment) basis of accounting, however when facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of this asset may not be recoverable, we recognize an impairment loss. The impairment loss recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value.

 

In 2024, we requested the full refund and return of our investment. On January 15, 2025, we received $62,000 as an initial and partial refund of our investment in Zowie Technology Corporation.

5 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION

 

Accounting for stock options issued to employees measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. Outstanding options to purchase Class A common stock (“the Options”) vest in three equal annual installments beginning one (1) year from the date of grant and are subject to termination provisions as defined in our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan and 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively referred to as “the Plans”). The Options activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 is as follows:

 

   Number of

At March 31, 2025, the range of individual outstanding weighted average exercise prices was $2.63 to $3.95 and the unrecognized compensation expense was approximately $3,000. Stock based compensation recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 was $1,000 and $4,000, respectively, and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.

 

6 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Inventory Purchasing

 

Outstanding commitments to purchase inventory from suppliers aggregated $400,000 as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Of our outstanding purchase commitment as of March 31, 2025, approximately $40,000 is due in the next nine months. The remainder is due in the year ended December 31, 2026 or later, which the timing is dependent on additional customer orders.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of Part 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements usually are denoted by words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “will likely result” or similar expressions. We wish to caution readers that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that actual results could vary due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements.

 

References to “Taitron,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Taitron Components Incorporated and its wholly owned divisions, unless the context otherwise requires.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Use of Estimates - Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on our valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products, which is when legal transfer of title occurs and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Reserves for sales allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical experience and our estimates of future returns. Sales returns for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $0. The allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 aggregated $7,000.

 

Inventory – Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) and net realizable value. We had inventory balances in the amount of $2,867,000 and $2,949,000 at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is presented net of valuation allowances of $5,155,000 and $5,152,000, respectively. We evaluate inventories to identify excess, high-cost, slow-moving or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins. Due to the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing and maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the cost of inventories. If our assumptions about future demand change, or market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from those estimated.

 

Deferred Taxes – If determined that it is more likely than not that we will not realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, which allowance will be charged to income tax expense in the period of such determination. We also consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in assessing if deferred tax assets could be realized. We also consider the weight of both positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed.

 

Overview

 

We are primarily focused on supplying ODM products for our OEM customer’s multi-year turn-key projects. We also distribute discrete semiconductors, commodity Integrated Circuits (ICs), optoelectronic devices and passive components to other electronic distributors, CEMs and OEMs, who incorporate them in their products.

 

Our core strategy has shifted to primarily focus on higher margin ODM Projects that require custom products designed for specific applications to OEM customers, and away from actively marketing our superstore strategy of maintaining a vast quantity of electronic components to fill customer orders immediately from available stock held in inventory. As a result, we expect our components inventory will be more passively marketed and distributed online for clearance through our internet sales portal, however at potentially lower rates due to the pricing pressures normally attributed with online shopping.

Index

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we have classified inventory as a current asset in our March 31, 2025, condensed consolidated financial statements representing approximately 24% of current assets and 17% of total assets. However, if all or a substantial portion of the inventory was required to be immediately liquidated, the inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included or classified as a current asset, such as cash. We cannot assure you that demand in the discrete semiconductor market will increase and that market conditions will improve. Therefore, it is possible that further declines in our carrying values of inventory may result.

 

Our gross profit margins are subject to a number of factors, including product demand, provisions for inventory reserves, our ability to purchase inventory at favorable prices, our sales product mix, the imposition of tariffs, import and export controls, changes in governmental policies and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.

Significant Risks and Uncertainties

 

See the Risk Factors included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the additional Risk Factor included in Part II—Item 1A of this quarterly report.

 

First quarter of 2025 versus 2024.

 

Net sales in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $1,082,000 versus $963,000 in the comparable period for 2024, an increase of $119,000 or 12.4% over the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of ODM project sales volume.

 

Gross profit for the first quarter of 2025 was $625,000 versus $496,000 in the comparable period for 2024, and gross margin percentage of net sales was 57.8% in the first quarter of 2025 versus 51.5% in the comparable period for 2024. The approximately 6.3% gross margin percentage increase was driven by margins on ODM project sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2025 totaled $560,000 versus $570,000 in the comparable period for 2024. The $10,000 decrease was primarily driven by lower personnel benefits.

 

Other income(expense), net, in the first quarter of 2025 was ($395,000) versus $556,000 in the comparable period for 2024. Other income(expense) was primarily from short-term investment income(losses).

 

Income tax provision was $6,000 for the first quarter of 2025 and $8,000 for the comparable period for 2024.

 

Net loss was ($286,000) for the first quarter of 2025 versus income of $552,000 in the comparable period for 2024, a decrease of $838,000 resulting from the reasons discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We historically have satisfied our liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations, short-term commercial loans, subordinated related party promissory notes and issuance of equity securities.

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $94,000 as opposed to used for of ($328,000) in the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $422,000 in cash flows provided by operations compared with the prior period resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily from accounts payable, accounts receivable and marketable securities.

Index

 

Cash flows provided by investing activities were $50,000 as opposed to used for of ($37,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

 

Cash flows used for financing activities were $301,000 for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

 

We believe that funds generated from operations, existing cash balances, short term investments and, if necessary, related party short-term loans, are likely to be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. If these funds are not sufficient, we may secure new sources of asset-based lending on accounts receivables or issue debt or equity securities. Otherwise, we may need to liquidate assets to generate the necessary working capital.

 

Inventory is included and classified as a current asset. As of March 31, 2025, inventory represented approximately 24% of current assets and 17% of total assets. However, it is likely to take over one (1) year for the inventory to turn and therefore is likely not saleable within this time frame. Hence, inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included in current assets, such as cash.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are likely to have, a current or future material effect on our operations other than our outstanding commitments to purchase inventory (see Item 1 - Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies).

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. - Not applicable.
