Note 1 – Business, Organization and Liquidity
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 Marketplace (“OTCQB”) under the symbol “TIKK.”

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 December 31, 2023, the results of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flow for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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, 2023 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, 2023, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 15, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Inventory Reserve Policy
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed for obsolescence and a reserve is recorded for inventory allowances if the estimated net realizable value is less than the recorded value. The Company reviews the carrying cost of inventories by product to determine the adequacy of reserves for obsolescence. In accounting for inventories, the Company must make estimates regarding the estimated realizable value of inventory. If actual conditions are less favorable than those we have projected, we may need to increase our reserves for excess and obsolete inventories. Any increases in our reserves will adversely impact our results of operations. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold. If we are able to sell such inventory any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale. In accordance with industry practice, service parts inventory is included in current assets, although service parts are carried for established requirements during the serviceable lives of the products and, therefore, not all parts are expected to be sold within one year.
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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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 December 31, 2023.
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.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
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, such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, 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 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 do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales. 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. Accordingly, management has determined that no change in accounting for costs to obtain a contract will be required for the Company to conform to ASC 606.

Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. The amendment in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. The effective date of the new standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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.

Note 11 – Income 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.

Note 13 – Segment 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.

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
The Company reported net sales of $2,403,099 and $6,835,123 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023. This compared to net sales of $2,328,254 and $6,594,768 for the same three and nine-month period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to earlier placement of vendor orders by supply chain procurement, enabling the company to ship more units. Long supplier lead lines for certain high demand chips have been unprecedented, preventing the timely production of finished units being shipped to customers. The supply chain situation is gradually improving, and TIC has received sufficient parts to resume normal production operations.
Gross margin for the current quarter was $968,118 (40%) and $2,622,152 (38%) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. As compared to $893,707 (38%) and $2,282,363 (35%) for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The improvement was primarily attributable to fixed production costs being spread over increased volumes as production is ramped up with manufacturing components being delivered by our suppliers to coincide with open order deadlines and high margin engineering software sales revenue. This is a result of placing supplier orders further out to manage the long delivery dates for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to revenue from the Navy Craft ECP project.
Net income was $133,809 for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and a net loss of $6,052 for the nine months ended December 31, 2023. As compared to a net income of $392,627 for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and a net loss of $317,610 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Backlog orders on December 31, 2023, were $6 million compared to $6.5 million as of March 31, 2023.
Overview (continued)
The Company continues to pursue opportunities in the domestic and international market for our Mode 5 and other new test sets. The international Mode 5 market has been slow over the last year due in part to ongoing delays in securing a large follow-on order from the German government. We continue to receive orders from the U.S. Government and the F-35 program for our AN/USM-708 and 719 (“CRAFT”) Mode 5 test sets. Our expectation is that orders and back-log will improve this fiscal year as the SDR-OMNI test set gains traction in the marketplace. We also received a $875,000 contract from the U.S. Army in July 2023 to update the TS-4530A software and add new capabilities. The engineering software work has been completed and we expect to invoice this amount by year-end, although this is contingent upon securing prompt approval from a government certification body.
TIC is also exploring new avenues to broaden its product portfolio including designing a high frequency “MADL” 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 has successfully completed the engineering portion of the program and recently received a partially funded production purchase order with a value of $1.5 million. We expect to finalize this contract and secure full funding this summer. We expect to complete this order during FY 2025. TIC will continue to explore funded engineering programs of this nature as this is high margin business that helps diversify and expand our product portfolio.
The main focus area for the Company is moving into the military avionic and secure communications testing. The key for long-term sustained growth will be to supplement our strong position in military Mode 5 transponder testing with dominant product offerings in the much larger commercial and military communications and navigation test set market. TIC has spent several years and millions of dollars in developing our ground-breaking SDR-OMNI product which is meant to 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 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 during December 2022 and has sold over $720,000 of SDR/OMNI test sets as of December 31, 2023. There are several companies competing in this market space, but we believe that our SDR/OMNI design will be extremely competitive.
TIC recently introduced a military version of this test set called the SDR-OMNI/MIL. It adds SIF IFF and TACAN functions. This is a critically important test set as it could replace over 5,000 obsolete avionic and communication test sets currently in use by the U.S. military. We have taken orders for this new military test set from two international customers and expect initial orders from the U.S. military this quarter. Production deliveries are expected to begin in the first quarter of FY 2025.
TIC is also working closely with manufacturers of the new micro-Mode 5 transponders that will be used to add Mode 5 technology to drones. This is expected to be a significant long-term revenue driver given the recent drone fatalities faced by the U.S. in the Mid-East. We have also demonstrated Mode 5L2B using the micro-Mode 5 transponders in several of our test sets.
Currently, we are not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock in which an adverse decision could have a material effect.
As previously disclosed, the Aeroflex litigation (see Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) did not result in a favorable outcome for the Company, despite our belief that we committed no wrongdoing. We have paid the $6.6 million judgment in full and there are no outstanding obligations related to the Aeroflex litigation. The jury found no misappropriation of Aeroflex trade secrets but found that the Company tortiously interfered with a prospective business opportunity and awarded damages. The jury also found that TIC tortiously interfered with Aeroflex’s non-disclosure agreements with two former Aeroflex employees, and that the former Aeroflex employees breached their non-disclosure agreements with Aeroflex. Upon appeal, a decision on the case was rendered and released on July 21, 2023. The Kansas Appeals Court rejected each of TIC’s appeal arguments and the judgment required the Company to pay Aeroflex $6.6 million. The loss of the appeal is very disappointing to the Company, however there will be no impact on our net worth, as these damages had already been fully accrued. TIC paid the full judgement amount and has been fully satisfied as of September 15, 2023.
Results of Operations
Sales
The Company reported net sales of $2,403,099 and $6,835,123 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023. This compared to net sales of $2,328,254 and $6,594,768 for the same three and nine-month period in the prior fiscal year.
The increase in sales for the three months ended December 31, 2023 of 2,403,099 as compared to the same prior period of $2,328,254 resulted in a 3% increase. The increase in sales for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 of $ 6,835,123 as compared to the same prior period of $6,594,768 remained basically flat or a 4% increase.
The increase in sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the prior quarter ended September 30, 2023 of $1,565,094 or a 54 percent increase was attributable to earlier placement of vendor orders by supply chain procurement, enabling the company to ship more units. Long supplier lead lines for certain high demand chips have been unprecedented, preventing the timely production of finished units being shipped to customers. The supply chain situation is gradually improving, and TIC has received sufficient parts to resume normal production operations. In addition, the company revenue included a 50 percent progress billing for the Army software upgrade project.
Gross Margin
Gross margin for the current quarter was $968,118 (40%) and $2,622,152 (38%) for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. This compared to $893,707 (38%) and $2,282,363 (35%) for the same periods in the prior year, respectively. The improvement was primarily attributable to fixed production costs being spread over increased volumes as production is ramped up with manufacturing components being delivered by our suppliers to coincide with open order deadlines and high margin engineering software revenue. This is a result of placing supplier orders further out to manage the long delivery dates for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The increase in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022 is primarily due to revenue from the Navy Craft and Army engineering software projects which have a high margin.
Operating Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $174,479 (30%) to $414,458 and $104,737 (6%) to $1,520,386 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $588,937 and $1,625,123, respectively for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022. The three and nine months decreases of $174,479 and $104,737, respectively are a result of professional fee savings and no profit sharing accruals offset by marketing documentation for our new SDR-OMNI test set, the resumption of travel and trade show participation.
Engineering, research, and development expenses decreased $64,249 (17%) to $306,546 and $588,833 (39%) to $913,701 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $370,795 and $1,502,534 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Total engineering expense decreased primarily as a result of the Navy ECP contract non-recurring engineering expenditures (“NRE”) which are reimbursed and reduced engineering costs in the current quarter by $208,368 offset by increases in engineering talent.
Income (loss) from Operations
As a result of the above, the Company recorded a net income from operations of $247,114 and $188,065 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to a loss from operations of $66,025 and $845,294 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Other Expense, Net
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, total other net expense was $22,941 and $196,454. During the 9 months ended December 31, 2023, $198,535 of accrued judgement interest was included for the first two quarters of the current fiscal year. This is compared to other net income of $563,048 and $443,235 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, this is primarily a result of $628,400 of Employee Retention Tax Credits (“ERC”) the Company was eligible for and filed the required amended tax returns. The credit refunds were received from the Internal Revenue Service on June 1, 2023.
Net Income (loss) before Income Taxes
The Company recorded a net income before taxes of $224,173 and a net loss of $8,389 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to net income before taxes of $497,023 and a net loss of $402,059 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Income Tax Benefit
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $90,364 and an income tax benefit of $2,337, as compared to income tax expense and benefit of $104,396 and $84,449 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively.
Net Loss
The Company recorded net income of $133,809 and net loss of $6,052 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, as compared to net income of $392,627 and a net loss of $317,610 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2023, the Company had net working capital of $3,723,705, as compared to $3,058,638 at March 31, 2023. The Company had approximately $220,791 of cash on hand at December 31, 2023 and approximately $5,850,000 at March 31, 2023. The Company also had $1,176,203 of accounts receivables compared to $900,881 at March 31, 2023.
The Company’s principal sources, and uses of funds were as follows:
Cash used in operating activities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, $6,316,840 in cash from operations was used as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company used $1,571,007. This decrease in cash used from operations is attributable to both operating losses and the settlement of the Aeroflex judgement of $6,559,233.
Cash used in investing activities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company used $33,850 for purchases of equipment as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company used $11,732.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company provided $721,000 from financing activities as compared to using $80,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2022. This increase is due to proceeds received from issuance of Series B and C Convertible Preferred Stock.
The Bank of America line of credit has been extended from December 31, 2023 maturity to June 30, 2023 maturity. As of December 31, 2023, the $690,000 line of credit was fully used.
The Company has recorded total damages of $6,559,233 including interest of $1,659,233, as a result of the jury verdict associated with the Aeroflex litigation as well as the Court’s decision on punitive damages.
A decision on the Aeroflex case was rendered and released on July 21, 2023, the Kansas Appeals Court rejected each of TIC’s appeal arguments. The loss of the appeal is very disappointing to the Company, however there will be no impact on net worth, as these damages have already been fully accrued. TIC paid the full judgement amount and has been fully satisfied as of September 15, 2023.
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 at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of these unaudited condensed financial statements.
Currently, the Company has no material future capital expenditure requirements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 15, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report. There have been no changes in our critical accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in our notes to the 2023 consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
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
The Company, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, such as this report, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include controls and procedures designed to reasonably ensure 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.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, reviewed the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, pursuant to Rule 13(a)-15(e) under the Exchange Act and concluded that there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recently completed fiscal quarter during the period ended December 31, 2023 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Currently, we are not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock in which an adverse decision could have a material effect.
As previously disclosed, the Aeroflex litigation (see Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) did not result in a favorable outcome for the Company, despite our belief that we committed no wrongdoing. We have paid the $6.4 million judgment in full and there are no outstanding obligations related to the Aeroflex litigation. The jury found no misappropriation of Aeroflex trade secrets but found that the Company tortiously interfered with a prospective business opportunity and awarded damages. The jury also found that TIC tortiously interfered with Aeroflex’s non-disclosure agreements with two former Aeroflex employees, and that the former Aeroflex employees breached their non-disclosure agreements with Aeroflex. Upon appeal, a decision on the case was rendered and released on July 21, 2023. The Kansas Appeals Court rejected each of TIC’s appeal arguments and the judgment required the Company to pay Aeroflex $6.4 million. The loss of the appeal is very disappointing to the Company, however there will be no impact on net worth, as these damages had already been fully accrued.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Not applicable because we are a smaller reporting company. Notwithstanding, we believe there are no changes that constitute material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on June 15, 2023.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, other than as previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K, we did not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.
There has been no default in the payment of principal, interest, sinking or purchase fund installment, or any other material default, with respect to any indebtedness of the Company during the quarter ending December 31, 2023.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
There is no other information required to be disclosed under this item which was not previously disclosed.

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.

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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 December 31, 2023, the results of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and statements of cash flow for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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, 2023 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, 2023, as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 15, 2023 (the “Annual Report”).
Inventory Reserve Policy
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed for obsolescence and a reserve is recorded for inventory allowances if the estimated net realizable value is less than the recorded value. The Company reviews the carrying cost of inventories by product to determine the adequacy of reserves for obsolescence. In accounting for inventories, the Company must make estimates regarding the estimated realizable value of inventory. If actual conditions are less favorable than those we have projected, we may need to increase our reserves for excess and obsolete inventories. Any increases in our reserves will adversely impact our results of operations. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold. If we are able to sell such inventory any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale. In accordance with industry practice, service parts inventory is included in current assets, although service parts are carried for established requirements during the serviceable lives of the products and, therefore, not all parts are expected to be sold within one year.
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 December 31, 2023.
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 December 31, 2023, $199,553 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for extended warranties as compared to $296,400 at March 31, 2023. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $30,261 and $96,847 respectively from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue as compared to $24,393 and $71,796, respectively from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2022.
The following table provides a summary of the changes in deferred revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2023:
Other Deferred Revenues
The Company sometimes receives payments in advance of shipment. These amounts are classified as other deferred revenues. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company has other deferred revenues of $12,022 and $600, 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, such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, 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 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 do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales. 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. Accordingly, management has determined that no change in accounting for costs to obtain a contract will be required for the Company to conform to ASC 606.
Disaggregation of revenue
In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by revenue category.
The remainder of our revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2023, are derived from repairs and calibration of $260,238, replacement parts of $23,921, extended warranties of $30,262 and other revenues of $7,377. We do not disaggregate these revenue streams as they are not deemed an important element related to how management operates the business between segments.
The remainder of our revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2022, are derived from repairs and calibration of $193,848, replacement parts of $50,078, extended warranties of $29,393 and other revenues of $18,557. We do not disaggregate these revenue streams as they are not deemed an important element related to how management operates the business between segments.
The remainder of our revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2023, are derived from repairs and calibration of $898,670, replacement parts of $163,111, extended warranties of $98,847 and other revenues of $20,871. We do not disaggregate these revenue streams as they are not deemed an important element related to how management operates the business between segments.
The remainder of our revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2022, are derived from repairs and calibration of $1,124,213, replacement parts of $135,154, extended warranties of $86,797 and other revenues of $41,268. We do not disaggregate these revenue streams as they are not deemed an important element related to how management operates the business between segments.
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by geography.
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, three customers accounted for sales of $715,635 or 30%, $437,499 or 18% and $243,718 or 10%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2023 one customer accounted for sales of $2,162,360, or 32%.
For the three months ended December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for sales of $472,752 or 20%, $320,284 or 14%, and $239,100 or 10%. For the nine months ended December 31, 2022, three customers accounted for sales of $1,123,685 or 17%, $769,370 or 12% and $627,951 or 10%.
The Company, in addition to inside sales efforts, utilizes independent sales agents to sell its products to customers. A related party independent sales agent earned $12,031 and $68,267 in commissions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, respectively. The sales agent earned $9,000 and $27,000 for sales and marketing assistance for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023.
The same related party independent sales agent earned $43,778 and $71,458 in commissions for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. The sales agent earned $9,000 and $27,000 for sales and marketing assistance for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. The amendment in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. The effective date of the new standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations.
No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 7 – Line of Credit
The Company has a line of credit with Bank of America with open availability up to $690,000, 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. Interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly at an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the greater of the BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index rate) daily float plus 3.75 percentage points.
Bank of America renewed the Company’s line of credit with a maturity date of July 30, 2023 and had extended the maturity date to December 31, 2023. In January 2024, the line of credit was further extended to June 30, 2024. The annual interest rate was amended as part of the renewal agreement. Effective October 12, 2023, interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly at an annual interest rate equal to the sum of the greater of the BSBY daily float or 1.25% plus 4.62 percentage points.

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block] | Note 8 – Right 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 December 31, 2023 and March 31,2023. The weighted average remaining lease term is 5.67 years.
Right to use assets is summarized below:
The following table reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments (displayed by year and in the aggregate) under non-cancelable operating leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023:
Total rent expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, was $102,900 and $308,634, respectively, as compared to $96,233 and $304,736 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 11 – Income 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 $2.6 million in deferred tax assets at December 31, 2023 and approximately $2.6 million in deferred tax assets at March 31, 2023.

Earnings Per Share [Text Block] | Note 12– Net income (loss) per Share
Net income (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 income (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 nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, since the Company has a net loss, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from this calculation.
The following table summarizes securities that, if exercised, would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share for the three months ended:

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 13 – Segment 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 nine months ended December 31, 2023, and 2022:

Legal Matters and Contingencies [Text Block] | Note 14 – Litigation
Currently, we are not involved in any litigation that we believe could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of executive officers of our Company, threatened against or affecting our Company, or our common stock in which an adverse decision could have a material effect.
The Aeroflex litigation did not result in a favorable outcome for the Company, despite our belief that we committed no wrongdoing. We have paid the $6.6 million judgment in full and there are no outstanding obligations related to the Aeroflex litigation. The jury found no misappropriation of Aeroflex trade secrets but found that the Company tortiously interfered with a prospective business opportunity and awarded damages. The jury also found that TIC tortiously interfered with Aeroflex’s non-disclosure agreements with two former Aeroflex employees, and that the former Aeroflex employees breached their non-disclosure agreements with Aeroflex. Upon appeal, a decision on the case was rendered and released on July 21, 2023, the Kansas Appeals Court rejected each of TIC’s appeal arguments. TIC paid the full judgement amount of $6,559,233 on September 15, 2023, including interest of $1,659,233. |

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Inventory Reserve Policy Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories are reviewed for obsolescence and a reserve is recorded for inventory allowances if the estimated net realizable value is less than the recorded value. The Company reviews the carrying cost of inventories by product to determine the adequacy of reserves for obsolescence. In accounting for inventories, the Company must make estimates regarding the estimated realizable value of inventory. If actual conditions are less favorable than those we have projected, we may need to increase our reserves for excess and obsolete inventories. Any increases in our reserves will adversely impact our results of operations. Such reserves are not reduced until the product is sold. If we are able to sell such inventory any related reserves would be reversed in the period of sale. In accordance with industry practice, service parts inventory is included in current assets, although service parts are carried for established requirements during the serviceable lives of the products and, therefore, not all parts are expected to be sold within one year. |

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 December 31, 2023. 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 December 31, 2023, $199,553 is expected to be recognized from remaining performance obligations for extended warranties as compared to $296,400 at March 31, 2023. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $30,261 and $96,847 respectively from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue as compared to $24,393 and $71,796, respectively from amounts that were included in Deferred Revenue for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 2022. The following table provides a summary of the changes in deferred revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2023:
Other Deferred Revenues The Company sometimes receives payments in advance of shipment. These amounts are classified as other deferred revenues. As of December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, the Company has other deferred revenues of $12,022 and $600, 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, such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin, 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 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 do not include a significant financing component. Payments received prior to the delivery of units or services performed are recorded as deferred revenues. Taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities, are excluded from sales. 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. Accordingly, management has determined that no change in accounting for costs to obtain a contract will be required for the Company to conform to ASC 606. Disaggregation of revenue In the following tables, revenue is disaggregated by revenue category.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Long-Lived Assets The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future, undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by an asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. No impairment losses have been recognized for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Statements. The amendment in this update replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses on instruments within its scope, including trade receivables. This update is intended to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses. The effective date of the new standard is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and was adopted by the Company on April 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a significant impact on our financial position and results of operations. No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. |

Schedule of Earnings Per Share, Basic and Diluted [Table Text Block] | Net income (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 income (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 nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, since the Company has a net loss, the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive, and as such, common stock equivalents have been excluded from this calculation.
