NVE CORP /NEW/ 10-Q

Item 1A. Risk Factors. There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 as updated in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020, except the following risk factors are replaced in their entirety by the following to update the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic: The loss of supply from any of our packaging vendors could impact our ability to produce and deliver products and cause loss of revenue. We are dependent on our packaging vendors. Because of the unique materials our products use, the complexity of some of our products, unique magnetic requirements, and high isolation voltage specifications, many of our products are more challenging to package than conventional integrated circuits. Some of our products use processes or tooling unique to a particular packaging vendor, and it might be expensive, time-consuming, or impractical to convert to another vendor in the event of a supply interruption due to vendors’ business decisions, business condition, or acts of God, including floods, typhoons, earthquakes, or pandemics. Leadtimes for packaging services have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and there have been shortages of raw materials our packaging vendors need for their process. One of our packaging vendors was forced to suspend its factory operations from late March 2020 until mid-May 2020 and was permitted only limited operation from mid-May through August 2020 pursuant to COVID-19 government orders, and restrictions could be reimposed in the future. Additionally, certain of our packaging vendors are in flood-susceptible areas. Flooding risks to such vendors may increase in the future due to possible higher ocean levels, extreme weather, and other potential effects of climate change. We have alternate vendors or potential alternate vendors for the majority of our products, but it can be expensive, time-consuming, and technically challenging to convert to alternate vendors. Furthermore, we may not be able to recover work in process or finished goods at a packaging vendor in the event of a disruption. Any supply interruptions or loss of inventory could seriously jeopardize our ability to provide products that are critical to our business and operations and may cause us to lose revenue. Public health crises could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results. Public health crises could adversely affect our ongoing business operations. In particular, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted global economic activity and caused many of our important customers to delay or cancel orders. We have been allowed to operate under Minnesota emergency executive orders in effect since March 27, 2020, however future orders could be imposed by State or Federal authorities that could limit or prohibit our normal operation. Furthermore, if one or more of our employees become infected with COVID-19, we could be forced to curtail or cease operations to protect the health of our employees or to prevent the spread of the disease. Additionally, any customer or supplier disruptions could affect our ability to operate. These and other impacts of COVID-19 pandemic or other public health crises could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or our financial condition. Item 4.
