Tel provides instruments to test, measure, calibrate, and repair a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. The Company sells its equipment in both domestic and international markets. Tel continues to develop new products in anticipation of customers’ needs and to maintain its strong market position. Its development of multi-function testers has made it easier for customers to perform ramp tests with less operator training, fewer test sets, and lower product support costs. The Company has become a major manufacturer and supplier of Identification Friend or Foe (“IFF”) flight line test equipment over the last two decades.

 

The Company is publicly traded and was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market Place (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “TIKK.”

 

Liquidity

 

On September 30, 2024, the Company had positive working capital of $3,264,454 as compared to working capital of $4,249,777 on March 31, 2024. This included $242,366 of cash on hand and $813,801 of accounts receivable.

 

The Company had a $7.9 million sales backlog on September 30, 2024.

 

On September 18, 2024, Bank of America renewed the line of credit with a maturity date of July 31, 2025. The line of credit drawn upon was $965,000 and a balance of $35,000 remained available on September 30, 2024.

 

During June 2024, the Company’s CEO provided short term advances totaling $105,500. During July 2024, an additional $40,000 was provided in short term advances of which $25,000 was repaid during July 2024, with a balance owed as of September 30, 2024 of $120,500. The maturity date for the principal balances was July 31, 2024 in the event the lender submitted a written demand for repayment. This event did not occur, and the interest continues to accrue on the principal until paid off in full at a per annum rate of 16%. As of September 30, 2024 the accrued interest was $5,230.

 

The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand and expected cash flow from operations for the next twelve months due to the increase in business and the opportunities we have included in our projections. Revenues and profits are expected to improve in second half of fiscal year 2025 due to the success of our SDR-OMNI product and the commencement of CRAFT ECP and MADL production.

 

Based on the foregoing, we believe that our expected cash flows from operations, and fulfillment of our $7.9 million open orders will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements.

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2024 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606.The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve the core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgement and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are currently in use.

 

The Company generates revenue from designing, manufacturing, and selling avionic tests and measurement solutions for the global commercial air transport, general aviation, and government/military aerospace and defense markets. The Company also offers calibration and repair services for a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment.

 

Nature of goods and services

 

The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each.

Note 2Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Test Units/Sets

 

The Company develops and manufactures unit sets to test navigation and communication equipment, such as ramp testers and bench testers for equipment installed in aircraft and ground radios. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of the contract, which is usually at the time of shipment. Revenue on products is presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears the risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to the customer. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines stand-alone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the stand-alone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from the customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of September 30, 2024.

 

Replacement Parts

 

The Company offers replacement parts for test equipment, ramp testers, and bench testers. Similar to the sale of test units, the control of the product transfers at a point of time and therefore, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the obligation to the customer has been fulfilled.

 

Extended Warranties

 

The extended warranties sold by the Company provide a level of assurance beyond the coverage for defects that existed at the time of a sale or against certain types of covered damage with coverage terms ranging from 2 to 7 years. Amounts received for warranties are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the respective term of the agreements. As of September 30, 2024, $148,036 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for extended warranties as compared to $179,422 at March 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue from extended warranties of $16,681 and $31,386, respectively, as compared to $32,580 and $66,586 of extended warranties from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in deferred revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024:

 

Deferred revenues at April 1, 2024

  $ 179,422

Other Deferred Revenues

 

The Company sometimes receives payments in advance of shipment. These amounts are classified as other deferred revenues. For the periods ended September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company had other deferred revenues of $173,977 and $13,102, respectively.

Repair and Calibration Services

 

The Company offers repair and calibration services for units that are returned for annual calibrations and/or for repairs after the warranty period has expired. The Company repairs and calibrates a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. Revenue is recognized at the time the repaired or calibrated unit is shipped back to the customer, as it is at this time that the work is completed.

 

Other

 

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from contracts with the U.S. government, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, domestic distributors, international distributors for sales to military and commercial customers, and other commercial customers. The contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up-front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. The Company applied the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as sales, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales. All sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers. The Company chose to apply the available practical expedient as commission eligible sales orders are fulfilled within less than one year and commissions are generally paid by the Company within 30 days of the related sales order fulfillment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements related disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2026, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.

 

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 7Line of Credit

 

The Company has a line of credit with Bank of America with open availability up to $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2024, with monthly payments of interest only. The borrowing base calculation is tied to accounts receivable collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the outstanding balances were $965,000 and $690,000, respectively. The interest rate on September 30, 2024 was 9.55%.

 

On April 1, 2024 Bank of America extended the Company line of credit with a maturity date of July 31, 2024, in addition the line of credit cash limit amount was increased from $690,000 to $1,000,000. The Company line of credit was renewed by Bank of America, with a maturity of July 31, 2025. Under the amendment, interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly at an annual interest rate equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 1.05 percentage points and no less than 3.25%. The “Prime Rate” is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions, and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing loans.

 

Note 8Right of Use Assets and Operating Lease Liability

 

The Company leases its facility in East Rutherford, NJ with monthly payments of $21,237 until August 2025. Thereafter, monthly payments are $23,083 for the balance of the 8 year lease agreement expiring August 2029.

 

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate based on its credit quality, line of credit agreement and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings. The Company used a discount rate of 3.90% for both September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining lease term is 4.92 years.

Note 9Stock Options Plans

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted on January 18, 2017, and ratified by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting on January 18, 2017, the Company’s 2016 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, by a committee to be appointed by the Board (both the Board and the Committee are referred to herein as the “Committee”) to directors, officers, and employees (excluding directors and officers who are not employees) to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the “Stock”), in accordance with the terms and provisions. The 2016 Plan reserves for issuance, options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock. Options granted under the plan are exercisable up to a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, except to a shareholder owning 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, as to which the exercise price must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Options are exercisable on a cumulative basis, 20% at or after each of the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant and 40% after the fourth year anniversary.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 which requires the measurement of stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four years. The Company estimates the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Common Stock.  The expected life of the options granted represents the period of time from date of grant to expiration (5 years).  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.  The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $1.36 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Note 10Income Taxes

 

FASB ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, asset reserves and accrued liabilities, gave rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company had approximately $2.7 million in deferred tax assets at September 30, 2024 and approximately $2.5 million in deferred tax assets at March 31, 2024. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

 

Note 11Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share has been computed according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 260”), “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted income per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reporting period. Diluted EPS to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including preferred stock and options, were converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in earnings per share by use of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of preferred stock is reflected in earnings per share by use of the if-converted method. In applying the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation arrangements, the assumed proceeds are computed as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise and the amounts of average unrecognized compensation. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, since the Company has a net loss attributable to common shareholders, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from this calculation.

Note 12Segment Information

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related information”, the Company determined it has two reportable segments - avionics government and avionics commercial. There are no inter-segment revenues.

 

The Company is organized primarily on the basis of its avionics products. The avionics government segment consists primarily of the design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments and militaries either directly or through distributors. The avionics commercial segment consists of design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to domestic and foreign airlines, directly or through commercial distributors, and to general aviation repair and maintenance shops. The Company develops and designs test equipment for the avionics industry and as such, the Company’s products and designs cross segments.

 

Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on gross margin. The Company’s general and administrative costs and sales and marketing expenses, and engineering costs are not segment specific. As a result, all operating expenses are not managed on a segment basis. Net interest includes expenses on debt and income earned on cash balances, both maintained at the corporate level.

 

The tables below present information about reportable segments within the avionics business for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023:

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other reports filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC (collectively the “Filings”) contain or may contain forward-looking statements and information that are based upon beliefs of, and information currently available to, the Company’s management as well as estimates and assumptions made by Company’s management. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the date hereof. When used in the Filings, the words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or the Company’s management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current view of the Company with respect to future events and we caution you that these statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and are subject to risks, assumptions, and other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended, or planned.

 

The key factors that are not within the Company’s control and that may have a direct bearing on operating results include, but are not limited to, managements’ ability to raise capital in the future, the retention of key employees and changes in the regulation of our industry, as well as the risk factors identified in the Company’s filings.

 

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

 

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments, and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments, and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements would be affected to the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting any available alternative would not produce a materially different result. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

 

For purposes of this Quarterly Report, “Tel-Instrument,” “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar references refers to Tel-Instrument Electronics, Inc, unless the context requires otherwise.

 

Overview

 

Despite the increasing backlog of $7.9 million on September 30, 2024, TIC had three major component delays that prevented shipment of outstanding orders on our two main revenue drivers. This included an extensive delay in battery deliveries and one PCB for our CRAFT product which currently has $4 million of backlog. We were also unable to ship any SDR-OMNI test sets due to delays with a PCB supplier. We received the CRAFT test set parts at the end of the last fiscal quarter and are now actively building units. The SDR-OMNI PCB is expected to arrive in early November 2024. As such, we expect a significant improvement in revenues and profits for the second half of the fiscal year.

 

The Company reported net sales of $1,777,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net sales of $1,565,094 for the same three month period in the prior fiscal year. The Company reported net sales of $4,619,518 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net sales of $4,432,024 for the same six month period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Gross margin for the current quarter was $206,940 (12%) which is approximately 11 percentage points lower than the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $359,484 (23%). This was primarily attributable to increased fixed production costs being spread over decreased volumes. Gross margin for the current six months ended September 30, 2024 was $952,842 (21%) which is approximately 16 percentage points lower than the six months ended September 30, 2023 of $1,654,034 (37%). This is primarily attributable to the Navy Craft ECP margin true up as the program is nearing completion and engineering labor hours have exceeded our projections. Approximately $730,000 of Navy funding remains on this contract which should be completed in FY 2025. Once the development work is completed, production revenues of approximately $5 million per year are expected over a four-year period.

 

 

Overview (continued)

 

Net loss was $814,594 and $772,346 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a loss of $435,153 and $139,861 for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The net loss increased versus the prior year due to the CRAFT ECP costs increasing versus the forecasted levels.

 

Backlog orders on September 30, 2024, were $7.9 million compared to $7.2 million as of March 31, 2024. Backlog has increased since then due in part to the receipt of a $1.55 million order for the new MADL test set for the F-35 program.

 

The Company continues to pursue opportunities in the domestic and international market for our Mode 5 test sets. We continue to receive substantial orders from the U.S. Government and Northrup Grumman for our AN/USM-708 (“CRAFT”) Mode 5 and MADL test sets.

 

TIC has spent several years and millions of dollars in developing our ground-breaking SDR/OMNI and SDR-OMNI/MIL product which will address both the commercial market for transponder and navigation test sets as well as competing in the military secure comm test set market. The SDR/OMNI product line supports a wide frequency range to accommodate new commercial and military waveforms in an industry leading 4.5-pound package. This is approximately half the weight of competitive test sets. It is also the only new multi-purpose test set which meets the Class 1 military environmental specifications. It utilizes the latest touch screen technology and has the capability to replace all TIC commercial test sets and military flight-line test sets with one handheld product. The Company started initial production deliveries in December 2022. The Company recently received an order from Airbus for SDR-OMNI test sets to replace the obsolete test sets used in their world-wide manufacturing. This is a significant win as Airbus evaluated competitive products and selected the SDR-OMNI due to its faster speed and ease of use. In August 2024, the Company received a follow-on order from Airbus with additional orders expected. We have added a direct sales representative for the SDR-OMNI and are instituting a customer demo program which should allow us to significantly extend our sales reach for smaller customers. To our knowledge, every commercial customer that evaluates our test sets versus the competition has selected the SDR-OMNI.

 

TIC recently released the SDR-OMNI/MIL test set which adds SIF and TACAN test capability. The SDR-OMNI/MIL has received positive reviews from the U.S. DOD and international military customers. We have also received an NSN number which is needed to sell to the U.S. military. We have already received purchase orders from Italy, South Korea, Germany and from the U.S. DOD. This is designed to replace thousands of obsolete military test sets currently in use. This is expected to be a significant driver of both revenues and future profitability. There are several companies competing in this market space, but we believe that our SDR-OMNI/MIL design will be extremely competitive.

 

TIC is also exploring new avenues to broaden its product portfolio including designing a high frequency test set for the Lockheed Martin F-35 program. This contract takes advantage of our expertise in RF technology. This is a completely new market for TIC as it involves high frequency communication signals. TIC recently received a $1.55 million production contract with Northrup Grumman for the new MADL test set.

 

Results of Operations

 

Sales

 

Net sales increased $212,248 or 14% to $1,777,342 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net sales of $1,565,094 for the same three month period in the prior fiscal year. Net sales increased $187,494 or 4% to $4,619,518 for the six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net sales of $4,432,024 for the same six month period in the prior fiscal year. The respective increases in sales were due to mix of product sale customer demand.

 

Gross Margin

 

Gross margin for the current quarter was $206,940 (12%) which is approximately 11 percentage points lower than the three months ended September 30, 2023 of $359,484 (23%). This was primarily attributable to increased fixed production costs being spread over decreased volumes due to parts issues for both the CRAFT and SDR-OMNI product lines. Gross margin for the current six months ended September 30, 2024 was $952,842 (21%) which is approximately 16 percentage points lower than the six months ended September 30, 2023 of $1,654,034 (37%). This is primarily attributable to the Navy Craft ECP margin true up as the program is nearing completion and engineering labor hours have exceeded our projections. Approximately $730,000 of Navy funding remains on this contract which should be completed in calendar year 2024. Once the development work is completed, production revenues of approximately $5 million per year are expected over a four-year period.

 

 

Overview (continued)

 

Operating Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $29,398 (6%) to $550,468 and decreased $13,120 (1%) to $1,092,808 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the three month increase of $29,398 included the addition of two salespeople during June 2024. Compared to $521,070 and $1,105,928, respectively for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Engineering, research, and development expenses increased $338,371 (107%) to $656,086 and $180,569 (30%) to $787,724 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $317,715 and $607,155 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Total engineering expense increased primarily as a result of the Navy ECP Contract non-recurring engineering expenditures (“NRE”) which are reimbursed and reduced engineering costs engineering time and materials completed during June 2024, with no new customer funded engineering projects currently.

 

Loss from Operations

 

As a result of the above, the Company recorded a loss from operations of $999,614 and $927,690 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a loss from operations of $479,301 and $59,049 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Other Expense, Net

 

Other net expense for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 was $31,517 and $49,963, respectively. Consisting primarily of line of credit interest, as compared to the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, total other expense was $129,103 and $173,513, which was primarily a result of accrued interest related to the legal judgement that was settled in the prior fiscal year.

 

Loss before Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a net loss before taxes of $1,031,131 and $977,653 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net loss before taxes of $608,404 and $232,562 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

 

Income Tax Benefit

 

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded income tax benefits of $216,537 and $205,307, and related increase in its deferred tax asset, as a result of the Company’s net loss respectively, as compared to income tax benefits of $173,251 and $92,701 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Net Loss

 

The Company recorded net loss of $814,594 and $772,346 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to net loss of $435,153 and $139,861 for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023.

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At September 30, 2024, the Company had net working capital of $3,264,454 as compared to working capital of $4,249,777 at March 31, 2024. This included $242,366 of cash on hand and $813,801 of accounts receivable.

 

The Company’s principal sources, and uses of funds were as follows:

 

Cash used in operating activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, $285,147 in cash from operations was used, as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used $6,182,187 which included $6,559,233 used for the settlement of the Aeroflex judgement.

 

Cash used in investing activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not use any cash for purchases of equipment as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2023, the Company used $32,352.

 

Cash provided by financing activities. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company provided $395,500 from funds received from the Bank of America line of credit $275,000 and short term related party loans $120,500 as compared to $721,000 funds provided for in the six months ended September 30, 2023 from issuance of Series B and C Preferred Stock.

 

The Bank of America line of credit was renewed, and the current line of credit matures July 31, 2025 with an available line of $1,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, $965,000 of the line of credit was used.

 

Moving forward, we believe that our expected cash flows from increased operations and increased accounts receivable payments will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.

 

Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.

 

We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this Item. We do not hold any derivative instruments and do not engage in any hedging activities.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.

 

Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not designed at a reasonable assurance level and are not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC 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.

 

Managements report on internal control over financial reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

 

1.

pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;

 

 

 

 

2.

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and

 

 

 

 

3.

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 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 enhancements to controls and procedures.

 

Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, based on the criteria in a framework developed by the Company’s management pursuant to and in compliance with the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, walkthroughs of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of September 30, 2024, because management identified that there was a lack of adherence to formal policies and procedures with inventory controls.

 

 

Management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively. The remediation actions include:

 

Management personnel, including our Chief Accounting Officer, are overseeing the financial reporting process and implementation of enhanced controls and governance;

   

Formation of an internal task team to enhance weaknesses over inventory movement, valuation, and internal controls.

 

Management is committed to maintaining a strong internal controls environment and implementing measures designed to help ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated as soon as possible. We have documented key procedures and controls using a risk-based approach and have, therefore, made progress toward remediation. We continue to implement our remediation plan, which includes continued engagement of an external financial consulting firm to enhance financial reporting and operations as well as design and implementation of controls. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time, and Management has concluded, through testing, that the controls are operating effectively.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above that occurred during our last completed fiscal quarter that has materially negatively affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As discussed above, management has remediation plans that will be implemented during fiscal year 2025.

Business and Organization

 

Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. (“Tel,” “TIC” or the “Company”) has been in business since 1947. The Company is a leading designer and manufacturer of avionics test and measurement instruments for the global, commercial air transport, general aviation, and government/military defense markets. Tel provides instruments to test, measure, calibrate, and repair a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. The Company sells its equipment in both domestic and international markets. Tel continues to develop new products in anticipation of customers’ needs and to maintain its strong market position. Its development of multi-function testers has made it easier for customers to perform ramp tests with less operator training, fewer test sets, and lower product support costs. The Company has become a major manufacturer and supplier of Identification Friend or Foe (“IFF”) flight line test equipment over the last two decades.

 

The Company is publicly traded and was quoted on the Over-the-Counter Market Place (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “TIKK.”

 

Liquidity

 

On September 30, 2024, the Company had positive working capital of $3,264,454 as compared to working capital of $4,249,777 on March 31, 2024. This included $242,366 of cash on hand and $813,801 of accounts receivable.

 

The Company had a $7.9 million sales backlog on September 30, 2024.

 

On September 18, 2024, Bank of America renewed the line of credit with a maturity date of July 31, 2025. The line of credit drawn upon was $965,000 and a balance of $35,000 remained available on September 30, 2024.

 

During June 2024, the Company’s CEO provided short term advances totaling $105,500. During July 2024, an additional $40,000 was provided in short term advances of which $25,000 was repaid during July 2024, with a balance owed as of September 30, 2024 of $120,500. The maturity date for the principal balances was July 31, 2024 in the event the lender submitted a written demand for repayment. This event did not occur, and the interest continues to accrue on the principal until paid off in full at a per annum rate of 16%. As of September 30, 2024 the accrued interest was $5,230.

 

The Company believes it has sufficient cash on hand and expected cash flow from operations for the next twelve months due to the increase in business and the opportunities we have included in our projections. Revenues and profits are expected to improve in second half of fiscal year 2025 due to the success of our SDR-OMNI product and the commencement of CRAFT ECP and MADL production.

 

Based on the foregoing, we believe that our expected cash flows from operations, and fulfillment of our $7.9 million open orders will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements.

Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2024 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606.The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve the core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgement and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are currently in use.

 

The Company generates revenue from designing, manufacturing, and selling avionic tests and measurement solutions for the global commercial air transport, general aviation, and government/military aerospace and defense markets. The Company also offers calibration and repair services for a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment.

 

Nature of goods and services

 

The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each.

 

Test Units/Sets

 

The Company develops and manufactures unit sets to test navigation and communication equipment, such as ramp testers and bench testers for equipment installed in aircraft and ground radios. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of the contract, which is usually at the time of shipment. Revenue on products is presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears the risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to the customer. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines stand-alone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the stand-alone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

 

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from the customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of September 30, 2024.

 

Replacement Parts

 

The Company offers replacement parts for test equipment, ramp testers, and bench testers. Similar to the sale of test units, the control of the product transfers at a point of time and therefore, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the obligation to the customer has been fulfilled.

 

Extended Warranties

 

The extended warranties sold by the Company provide a level of assurance beyond the coverage for defects that existed at the time of a sale or against certain types of covered damage with coverage terms ranging from 2 to 7 years. Amounts received for warranties are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the respective term of the agreements. As of September 30, 2024, $148,036 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for extended warranties as compared to $179,422 at March 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue from extended warranties of $16,681 and $31,386, respectively, as compared to $32,580 and $66,586 of extended warranties from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in deferred revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024:

 

Deferred revenues at April 1, 2024

  $ 179,422  

Revenue recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024

    (31,386 )

Deferred revenues at September 30, 2024

  $ 148,036  

 

Other Deferred Revenues

 

The Company sometimes receives payments in advance of shipment. These amounts are classified as other deferred revenues. For the periods ended September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company had other deferred revenues of $173,977 and $13,102, respectively.

 

Repair and Calibration Services

 

The Company offers repair and calibration services for units that are returned for annual calibrations and/or for repairs after the warranty period has expired. The Company repairs and calibrates a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. Revenue is recognized at the time the repaired or calibrated unit is shipped back to the customer, as it is at this time that the work is completed.

 

Other

 

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from contracts with the U.S. government, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, domestic distributors, international distributors for sales to military and commercial customers, and other commercial customers. The contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up-front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. The Company applied the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as sales, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales. All sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers. The Company chose to apply the available practical expedient as commission eligible sales orders are fulfilled within less than one year and commissions are generally paid by the Company within 30 days of the related sales order fulfillment.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements related disclosures.

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2026, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.

 

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 7Line of Credit

 

The Company has a line of credit with Bank of America with open availability up to $1,000,000 as of September 30, 2024, with monthly payments of interest only. The borrowing base calculation is tied to accounts receivable collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

 

As of September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the outstanding balances were $965,000 and $690,000, respectively. The interest rate on September 30, 2024 was 9.55%.

 

On April 1, 2024 Bank of America extended the Company line of credit with a maturity date of July 31, 2024, in addition the line of credit cash limit amount was increased from $690,000 to $1,000,000. The Company line of credit was renewed by Bank of America, with a maturity of July 31, 2025. Under the amendment, interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly at an annual interest rate equal to the Bank’s Prime Rate plus 1.05 percentage points and no less than 3.25%. The “Prime Rate” is the rate of interest publicly announced from time to time by the Bank as its Prime Rate. The Prime Rate is set by the Bank based on various factors, including the Bank’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions, and other factors, and is used as a reference point for pricing loans.

Note 8Right of Use Assets and Operating Lease Liability

 

The Company leases its facility in East Rutherford, NJ with monthly payments of $21,237 until August 2025. Thereafter, monthly payments are $23,083 for the balance of the 8 year lease agreement expiring August 2029.

 

The Company's leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, and therefore the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease. The Company estimated its incremental borrowing rate based on its credit quality, line of credit agreement and by comparing interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings. The Company used a discount rate of 3.90% for both September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The weighted average remaining lease term is 4.92 years.

Note 9Stock Options Plans

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board”) adopted on January 18, 2017, and ratified by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting on January 18, 2017, the Company’s 2016 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of incentive stock options, by a committee to be appointed by the Board (both the Board and the Committee are referred to herein as the “Committee”) to directors, officers, and employees (excluding directors and officers who are not employees) to purchase shares of the Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share (the “Stock”), in accordance with the terms and provisions. The 2016 Plan reserves for issuance, options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of its common stock. Options granted under the plan are exercisable up to a period of five years from the date of grant at an exercise price which is not less than the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, except to a shareholder owning 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company, as to which the exercise price must be not less than 110% of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant. Options are exercisable on a cumulative basis, 20% at or after each of the first, second, and third anniversary of the grant and 40% after the fourth year anniversary.

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718 which requires the measurement of stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation cost on awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, typically four years. The Company estimates the fair value of each option granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

 

The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Common Stock.  The expected life of the options granted represents the period of time from date of grant to expiration (5 years).  The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.  The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $1.36 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:

Note 10Income Taxes

 

FASB ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“ASC 740-10”) prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The tax effect of temporary differences, primarily net operating loss carryforwards, asset reserves and accrued liabilities, gave rise to the Company’s deferred tax asset. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequence of such temporary differences at the enacted tax rate expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company had approximately $2.7 million in deferred tax assets at September 30, 2024 and approximately $2.5 million in deferred tax assets at March 31, 2024. The Company recognizes the impact of an uncertain income tax position taken on its income tax return at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

Note 11Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share has been computed according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 260”), “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted income per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reporting period. Diluted EPS to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including preferred stock and options, were converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in earnings per share by use of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of preferred stock is reflected in earnings per share by use of the if-converted method. In applying the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation arrangements, the assumed proceeds are computed as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise and the amounts of average unrecognized compensation. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, since the Company has a net loss attributable to common shareholders, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from this calculation.

Note 12Segment Information

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 280, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and related information”, the Company determined it has two reportable segments - avionics government and avionics commercial. There are no inter-segment revenues.

 

The Company is organized primarily on the basis of its avionics products. The avionics government segment consists primarily of the design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to the U.S. and foreign governments and militaries either directly or through distributors. The avionics commercial segment consists of design, manufacture, and sale of test equipment to domestic and foreign airlines, directly or through commercial distributors, and to general aviation repair and maintenance shops. The Company develops and designs test equipment for the avionics industry and as such, the Company’s products and designs cross segments.

 

Management evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on gross margin. The Company’s general and administrative costs and sales and marketing expenses, and engineering costs are not segment specific. As a result, all operating expenses are not managed on a segment basis. Net interest includes expenses on debt and income earned on cash balances, both maintained at the corporate level.

 

The tables below present information about reportable segments within the avionics business for the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023:

Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Tel-Instrument Electronics Corp. as of September 30, 2024, the results of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flow for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. These results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include disclosures normally made in an Annual Report on Form 10-K. The March 31, 2024 balance sheet included herein was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 28, 2024 (the “Annual Report”).

Revenue [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contacts with Customers (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligation(s) in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

The Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606.The core principle of Topic 606 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services. The ASC 606 defines a five-step process to achieve the core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgement and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are currently in use.

The Company generates revenue from designing, manufacturing, and selling avionic tests and measurement solutions for the global commercial air transport, general aviation, and government/military aerospace and defense markets. The Company also offers calibration and repair services for a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment.

Nature of goods and services

The following is a description of the products and services from which the Company generates revenue, as well as the nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations, and significant payment terms for each.

 

Test Units/Sets

The Company develops and manufactures unit sets to test navigation and communication equipment, such as ramp testers and bench testers for equipment installed in aircraft and ground radios. The Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the Company’s product based on the contractual shipping terms of the contract, which is usually at the time of shipment. Revenue on products is presented gross because the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the product, is responsible to ensure that the product is produced in accordance with the related supply agreement and bears the risk of loss while the inventory is in-transit. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products to the customer. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to the single performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised products or services underlying each performance obligation. The Company determines stand-alone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately. If the stand-alone selling price is not observable through past transactions, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering available information such as market conditions and internally approved pricing guidelines related to the performance obligations.

When determining the transaction price of a contract, an adjustment is made if payment from the customer occurs either significantly before or significantly after performance, resulting in a significant financing component. Applying the practical expedient in paragraph 606-10-32-18, the Company does not assess whether a significant financing component exists if the period between when the Company performs its obligations under the contract and when the customer pays is one year or less. None of the Company’s contracts contained a significant financing component as of September 30, 2024.

Replacement Parts

The Company offers replacement parts for test equipment, ramp testers, and bench testers. Similar to the sale of test units, the control of the product transfers at a point of time and therefore, revenue is recognized at the point in time when the obligation to the customer has been fulfilled.

Extended Warranties

The extended warranties sold by the Company provide a level of assurance beyond the coverage for defects that existed at the time of a sale or against certain types of covered damage with coverage terms ranging from 2 to 7 years. Amounts received for warranties are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue ratably over the respective term of the agreements. As of September 30, 2024, $148,036 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for extended warranties as compared to $179,422 at March 31, 2024. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized revenue from extended warranties of $16,681 and $31,386, respectively, as compared to $32,580 and $66,586 of extended warranties from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue for the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in deferred revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2024:

Deferred revenues at April 1, 2024

  $ 179,422  

Revenue recognized for the six months ended September 30, 2024

    (31,386 )

Deferred revenues at September 30, 2024

  $ 148,036  

Other Deferred Revenues

The Company sometimes receives payments in advance of shipment. These amounts are classified as other deferred revenues. For the periods ended September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, the Company had other deferred revenues of $173,977 and $13,102, respectively.

 

Repair and Calibration Services

The Company offers repair and calibration services for units that are returned for annual calibrations and/or for repairs after the warranty period has expired. The Company repairs and calibrates a wide range of airborne navigation and communication equipment. Revenue is recognized at the time the repaired or calibrated unit is shipped back to the customer, as it is at this time that the work is completed.

Other

The majority of the Company’s revenues are from contracts with the U.S. government, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, domestic distributors, international distributors for sales to military and commercial customers, and other commercial customers. The contracts with the U.S. government typically are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”) which provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services provided under U.S. government contracts. Payment terms and conditions vary by contract, although terms generally include a requirement of payment within a range from 30 to 60 days, or in certain cases, up-front deposits. In circumstances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of invoicing, the Company has determined that the Company's contracts generally do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. The Company applied the practical expedient to account for shipping and handling activities as fulfillment cost rather than as a separate performance obligation. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are classified as sales, and the shipping and handling costs incurred are included in cost of sales. All sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company excludes from revenues all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on the sale of its products and collected from customers. The Company chose to apply the available practical expedient as commission eligible sales orders are fulfilled within less than one year and commissions are generally paid by the Company within 30 days of the related sales order fulfillment.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures”. This guidance expands public entities segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments are required to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in an entity’s financial statements. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on our consolidated financial statements related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires disaggregated information about our effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The guidance will first be effective in our annual disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2026, and should be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our disclosures.

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Net Loss per Share (Tables)

Sep. 30, 2024
Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted [Table Text Block] Net loss per share has been computed according to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC 260”), “Earnings per Share,” which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted income per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents net loss divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during a reporting period. Diluted EPS to common stockholders reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities, including preferred stock and options, were converted into common stock. The dilutive effect of outstanding options is reflected in earnings per share by use of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of preferred stock is reflected in earnings per share by use of the if-converted method. In applying the treasury stock method for stock-based compensation arrangements, the assumed proceeds are computed as the sum of the amount the employee must pay upon exercise and the amounts of average unrecognized compensation. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, since the Company has a net loss attributable to common shareholders, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from this calculation.
