NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 and for the six months then ended have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months then ended. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the six months ended September 29, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at March 31, 2017 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company believes, however, that the disclosures in this report are adequate to make the information presented not misleading in any material respect. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto of IEH Corporation for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC and the attached Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Description of Business: (continued)

The customers of the Company services are in the following markets: Government, Military, Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, Industrial, Test Equipment and Commercial Electronics. The Company appears on the Military Qualified Product Listing “QPL” to MIL-DTL-55302 and supply customer requested modifications to this specification. Sales to the Commercial Electronic and Military markets were 37% and 51%, respectively, of the Company’s net sales for the year ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s offering of “QPL” items has recently been expanded to include additional products.

In order to remain competitive, the Company has an internal program to upgrade, add and maintain machinery, review material costs and increase labor force productivity. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the Company purchased several machines to increase the productivity of certain processes. This will help the Company meet this goal.

Business New Product Development:

The Company is sought after by many of its customers to design and manufacture custom connectors. This has created many new products that are innovative designs and employ new technologies. The Company continues to be successful because of its ability to assist its customers and create a new design, including engineering drawing packages, in a relatively short period of time. The Company will continue to support its customers to the best of its ability.

The circular product line of connectors introduced several years ago for the medical industry continues to be very rewarding for the Company. The line has been expanded to include connector cable assemblies utilizing the circular connectors.

A new product line featuring high density connectors is being added to the Company’s product offering. This offering should be available within the next few months. The Company expects the new product line to bring additional revenue.

The standard printed circuit board connectors we produce are continually being expanded and utilized in many of the military programs being built today. We have recently received approval for additional products that the Company can offer under the Military Qualified Product Listing “QPL.”

Accounting Period:

The Company maintains an accounting period based upon a 52-53-week year, which ends on the nearest Friday in business days to March 31. The year ended March 31, 2017 was comprised of 53 weeks. The current fiscal year, ending on March 30, 2018, will be comprised of 52 weeks.

Revenue Recognition:

Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue transactions represent sales of inventory. The Company has historically adopted the shipping terms that title to merchandise passes to the customer at the shipping point (FOB Shipping Point).

The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives. Historically, the Company believes that it has no collection issues with its customer base.

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

The Company’s policy with respect to customer returns and allowances as well as product warranty is as follows:

The Company will accept a return of defective product within one year from shipment for repair or replacement at the Company’s option. If the product is repairable, the Company at its own cost, will repair and return it to the customer. If unrepairable, the Company will either offer an allowance against payment or will reimburse the customer for the total cost of product. The cost of defective products is immaterial at this time.

The Company provides engineering services as part of the relationship with its customers in developing the custom product. The Company is not obligated to provide such engineering service to its customers. The Company does not invoice its customers separately for these services.

Inventories:

Inventories are stated at cost, on an average basis, which does not exceed market value.

The Company historically purchases material in excess of its requirements to avail itself of favorable pricing as well as the possibility of receiving additional orders from customers. This excess may result in material not being used in subsequent periods, which may result in this material being deemed obsolete.

The Company annually reviews its purchase and usage activity of its inventory of parts as well as work in process and finished goods to determine which items of inventory have become obsolete within the framework of current and anticipated orders. The Company based upon historical experience has determined that if a part has not been used and purchased or an item of finished goods has not been sold in three years, it is deemed to be obsolete. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost. A periodic adjustment, based upon historical experience, is made to inventory in recognition of this impairment.

Concentration of Credit Risk:

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

Under the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was signed into law on July 21, 2010, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will permanently insure all accounts maintained with each financial institution up to $250,000 in the aggregate.

As of September 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017, the Company had funds on deposit in the amount of $1,076,739 and $1,660,904, in one financial institution comprised of the following:

The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes its cash balances are not exposed to any significant risk.

Property, Plant and Equipment:

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company provides for depreciation and amortization using the Double Declining Balance method over the estimated useful lives (5-7 years) of the related assets.

Maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operations, and renewals and betterments are capitalized. Items of property, plant and equipment, which are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, are removed from the asset and accumulated depreciation or amortization accounts. Any gain or loss thereon is either credited or charged to operations.

Income Taxes:

Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from different depreciation methods used for financial and income tax purposes. The Company has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740, Income Taxes, which includes the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.”

IEH CORPORATION

Net Income Per Share:

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share, which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the disclosure of “basic” and “diluted” earnings (loss) per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to reflect the dilutive effect of potential common shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock or warrants, as if they had been issued. For the six months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016, respectively, there were no items of potential dilution that would impact on the computation of diluted earnings or loss per share.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, consisting of accounts receivable, accounts payable, and borrowings, approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturity (three months) of these instruments.

Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC Topic, 360, Property, Plant and Equipment-Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets which includes the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for The Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 144. There were no long-lived asset impairments recognized by the Company for the six months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-19; the amendments cover a wide range of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification, including differences between original guidance and the Accounting Standards Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification and minor improvements. The adoption of ASU 2016-19 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods, within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard on its financial statements.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this update are of a similar nature to the items typically addressed in the ASU 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements. The FASB elected to issue a separate update for technical corrections and improvements to Topic 606 as well as other Topics amended by ASU 2014-09 to increase public awareness of the proposals and to expedite improvements to ASU-2014-9. The adoption of ASU 2016-20 is effective from the periods beginning after December 31, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this standard on its financial statements.

In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued certain accounting standards updates as of September 29, 2017 that will become effective in subsequent periods. The Company believes that none of those updates would have significantly affected the Company’s financial accounting measures or disclosures had they been in effect during the months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements at the time that they become effective.

Inventories are stated at cost, on an average basis, which does not exceed market value.

The Company manufactures products pursuant to specific technical and contractual requirements. The Company historically purchases material in excess of its requirements to avail itself of favorable pricing as well as the possibility of receiving additional orders from customers. This excess may result in material not being used in subsequent periods, which may result in this material being deemed obsolete.

The Company annually reviews its purchase and usage activity of its inventory of parts as well as work in process and finished goods to determine which items of inventory have become obsolete within the framework of current and anticipated orders. The Company based upon historical experience has determined that if a part has not been used and purchased or an item of finished goods has not been sold in three years, it is deemed to be obsolete.

In 1987, the Company adopted a cash bonus plan (“Cash Bonus Plan”) for executive officers. Contributions to the Cash Bonus Plan are made by the Company only after pre-tax operating profits exceed $150,000 for a fiscal year, and then to the extent of 10% of the excess of the greater of $150,000 or 25% of pre-tax operating profits. Accordingly, the Company has accrued a contribution provision of $162,000 for the six months ended September 29, 2017. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s contribution was $324,000.

The Company leases space for its corporate offices (including its manufacturing facility) at 140 58^th Street, Suite 8E, Brooklyn, New York. The lease term runs from December 1, 2010 through November 30, 2020. The basic minimum annual rentals are as follows:

The rental expense for the six months ended September 29, 2017 was $88,290 and $85,740 for the six months ended September 23, 2016.

The Company has a collective bargaining multi-employer pension plan (“Multi-Employer Plan”) with the United Auto Workers of America, Local 259 (“UAW”). Contributions are made by the Company in accordance with a negotiated labor contract and are based on the number of covered employees employed per month. With the passage of the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendment Act of 1990 (the “1990 Act”), the Company may become subject to liabilities in excess of contributions made under the collective bargaining agreement. Generally, these are contingent upon termination, withdrawal, or partial withdrawal from the Multi-Employer Plan. The Company has not been advised by the UAW that the Company has any liability under the Multi-Employer Plan as of the date hereof.

The Company has not taken any action to terminate, withdraw or partially withdraw from the Multi-Employer Plan, nor does it intend to do so in the future. Under the 1990 Act, liabilities would be based upon the Company’s proportional share of the Multi-Employer Plan’s unfunded vested benefits which is currently not available. The amount of accumulated benefits and net assets of such Plan also is not currently available to the Company. The total contributions charged to operations under the provisions of the Multi-Employer Plan were $58,652 and $65,265 for the six months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). Statements contained in this report which are not statements of historical facts may be considered forward-looking information with respect to plans, projections, or future performance of the Company as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “objective”, and “think” or similar expressions used herein are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current views and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that include, among other things, the effects of the Company’s business, actions of competitors, changes in laws and regulations, including accounting standards, employee relations, customer demand, prices of purchased raw material and parts, domestic economic conditions, including housing starts and changes in consumer disposable income, and foreign economic conditions, including currency rate fluctuations. Some or all of the facts are beyond the Company’s control.

Except as may be required by applicable law, we do not undertake or intend to update or revise our forward-looking statements, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this report as a result of new information or future events or developments. Thus, you should not assume that our silence over time means that actual events are bearing out as expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. You should carefully review and consider the various disclosures we make in this report and our other reports filed with the SEC that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that may affect our business. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related footnotes included elsewhere in this quarterly report which provide additional information concerning the Company’s financial activities and condition.

Critical Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies, which could have the most significant effect on the Company's reported results and require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: 

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected cash flows, undiscounted and without interest, is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. The Company makes estimates of its future cash flows related to assets subject to impairment review.

Critical Accounting Policies (continued)

Inventory Valuation: 

Raw materials and supplies are stated at cost on an average basis, which does not exceed market value. Finished goods and work in process are valued at the lower of actual cost, determined on a specific identification basis, or market. The Company estimates which materials may be obsolete and which products in work in process or finished goods may be sold at less than cost, and adjusts their inventory value accordingly. Future periods could include either income or expense items if estimates change and for differences between the estimated and actual amount realized from the sale of inventory.

Income Taxes: 

The Company records a liability for potential tax assessments based on its estimate of the potential exposure. Due to the subjectivity and complex nature of the underlying issues, actual payments or assessments may differ from estimates. Income tax expense in future periods could be adjusted for the difference between actual payments and the Company's recorded liability based on its assessments and estimates.

Revenue Recognition: 

Sales are recognized when revenue is realized or realizable and has been earned. Revenue transactions represent sales of inventory. The Company has historically adopted the shipping terms that title to merchandise passes to the customer at the shipping point (FOB Shipping Point).

The Company does not offer any discounts, credits or other sales incentives. Historically, the Company believes that it has no collection issues with its customer base.

Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met:

The Company’s policy with respect to customer returns and allowances as well as product warranty is as follows:

If the product is repairable, the Company at its own cost, will repair and return it to the customer. If unrepairable, the Company will either offer an allowance against payment or will reimburse the customer for the total cost of product. The cost of defective products is immaterial at this time.

The $1,331,819 increase in revenues can be attributed to increased marketing efforts and sales management support, along with successful penetration into new markets and continued cultivation of our existing customer base.

Comparative Analysis - Six Months Ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 (continued)

Results of Operations (continued)

Cost of products sold were $6,977,485 for the six months ended September 29, 2017, or 63.14% of operating revenues. This reflected a $885,843 or 14.54% increase in the cost of products sold from $6,091,642 or 62.67% of operating revenues for the six months ended September 23, 2016. The increase in cost of products sold can be attributed to the increase necessary to support the increase in sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,029,840 or 18.37% of operating revenues for the six months ended September 29, 2017 compared to $1,821,165 or 18.74% of operating revenues for the six months ended September 23, 2016. This category of expense increased by $208,675 or 11.46% from the prior fiscal year’s six-month period. The increase can be attributed to an increase in sales support and operating expenses.

Interest expense was $16,639 for the six months ended September 29, 2017 or .15% of operating revenues. For the fiscal six months ended September 23, 2016, interest expense was $37,483 or .39% of operating revenues. The decrease can be attributed to a reduction in borrowing from our commercial financial company.

Depreciation and amortization of $212,600 or 1.92% of operating revenues was reported for the six months ended September 29, 2017 as compared to the six-month period ended September 23, 2016 of $157,800 or 1.62% of operating revenues.

The Company reported net income of $892,666 for the six months ended September 29, 2017 representing basic earnings of $.39 per share as compared to net income of $874,247 or $.38 per share for the six months ended September 23, 2016. The net increase in income for the current six-month period can be attributed to a combination of the above factors.

Comparative Analysis-Three Months Ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016 (continued)

Results of Operations (continued)

Operating revenues for the three months ended September 29, 2017 amounted to $6,058,261, reflecting a 15.18% increase when compared to revenues of $5,259,784 for the three months ended September 23, 2016. The increase was due to increased marketing efforts during the quarter.

Cost of products sold were $3,622,433 for the three months ended September 23, 2016, or 59.79% of operating revenues. This reflected a $364,787 or 11.20% increase in the cost of products sold from $3,257,646 or 61.93% of operating revenues for the three months ended September 23, 2016. The increase reflects the increased costs related to increased sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,110,415 or 18.33% of operating revenues for the three months ended September 29, 2017 compared to $914,648 or 17.39% of operating revenues for the three months ended September 23, 2016. This category of expense increased by $195,767 or 21.4% from the prior comparable three-month period. The increase in this category of expenses was primarily due to an increase in sales support and operating expenses.

Interest expense was $8,101 for the three months ended September 29, 2017 or .13% of operating revenues. For the fiscal three months ended September 23, 2016, interest expense was $25,971 or .49% of operating revenues. Interest expenses decreased by $17,870 or 68.81% over the comparable prior period. The decrease can be attributed to a decrease in borrowing during the quarter.

Depreciation and amortization of $105,300 or 1.74% of operating revenues was reported for the three months ended September 29, 2017 as compared to the three-month period ended September 23, 2016, in which depreciation and amortization of $72,000 or 1.37% of operating revenues was reported.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company reported working capital of $13,277,441 as of September 29, 2017, compared to a working capital of $12,980,943 as of March 31, 2017. The increase in working capital of $296,498 was attributable to the following items:

As a result of the above, the current ratio (current assets to current liabilities) was 7.95 to 1 at September 29, 2017 as compared to 9.52 to 1 at March 31, 2017. Current liabilities at September 29, 2017 were $1,909,064 compared to $1,522,944 at March 31, 2017.

For the six months ended September 29, 2017, the Company reported $232,900 in capital expenditures and depreciation of $212,600.

The net income of $892,666 for the six months ended September 29, 2017 resulted in an increase in total stockholders’ equity.

On May 17, 2017, the Company’s board of directors voted to authorize a $0.25 one-time special cash dividend payable on June 19, 2017, to shareholders of record on the close of business at

June 6, 2017. This dividend distribution of $575,867 reduced stockholders’ equity to $15,371,342 as compared to total stockholders’ equity of $15,054,544 at March 31, 2017.

The Company has an accounts receivable financing agreement with a commercial finance company whereby it can borrow up to 80 percent of its eligible receivables (as defined in the financing agreement) at an interest rate of 2.5% above JP Morgan Chase’s publicly announced prime rate with a minimum rate of 6% per annum.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

The financing agreement has an initial term of one year and will automatically renew for successive one-year terms, unless terminated by the Company or its lender upon receiving 60 days’ prior notice.

Funds advanced by the commercial finance company are secured by IEH’s accounts receivable and inventories. At September 29, 2017, the Company reported excess payments to the commercial finance company of $604,334. The Company reported excess payment to the commercial finance company of $191,430 at

March 31, 2017. These excess payments are reported in the accompanying financial statements as “Excess payments to commercial finance company.”

In the past two fiscal years, management has been reviewing its collection practices and policies for outstanding receivables and has revised its collection procedures to a more aggressive collection policy. As a consequence of this new policy the Company’s experience is that its customers have been remitting payments on a more consistent and timely basis. The Company reviews the collectability of all accounts receivable on a monthly basis. The reserve is less than 2% of average gross accounts receivable and is considered to be conservatively adequate.

The Company has the Multi-Employer Plan with the UAW. Contributions are made by the Company in accordance with a negotiated labor contract and are based on the number of covered employees employed per month. With the passage of the 1990 Act, the Company may become subject to liabilities in excess of contributions made under the collective bargaining agreement. Generally, these are contingent upon termination, withdrawal, or partial withdrawal from the Multi-Employer Plan. The Company has not been advised by the UAW that the Company has any liability under the Multi-Employer Plan as of the date hereof. The Company has not taken any action to terminate, withdraw or partially withdraw from the Multi-Employer Plan, nor does it intend to do so in the future. Under the 1990 Act, liabilities would be based upon the Company’s proportional share of the Multi-Employer Plan’s unfunded vested benefits which is currently not available. The amount of accumulated benefits and net assets of such Plan also is not currently available to the Company. The total contributions charged to operations under the provisions of the Multi-Employer Plan were $58,652 and $65,265 for the six months ended September 29, 2017 and September 23, 2016, respectively.

Stock Option Plan

On August 31, 2011, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”) to provide for the grant of stock options and restricted stock awards to purchase up to 750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to all employees, consultants and other eligible participants including senior management and members of the Board of Directors of the Company. The 2011 Plan replaced the prior 2002 Employee Stock Option Plan which had expired on its terms.

Options granted to employees under the 2011 Plan may be designated as options which qualify for incentive stock option treatment under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code, or options which do not qualify (non-qualified stock options)

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources (continued)

Under the 2011 Plan, the exercise price of an option designated as an incentive stock option shall not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the day the option is granted. In the event an option designated as an incentive stock option is granted to a ten percent (10%) or greater shareholder, such exercise price shall be at least 110 percent (110%) of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock and the option must not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the day of the grant. The 2011 Plan also provides that holders of options that wish to pay for the exercise price of their options with shares of the Company’s common stock must have beneficially owned such stock for at least six months prior to the exercise date.

Exercise prices of non-incentive stock options may be less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock. The aggregate fair market value of shares subject to options granted to a participant(s), which are designated as incentive stock options, and which become exercisable in any calendar year, shall not exceed $100,000.

On July 1, 2015, our Board of Directors granted 245,000 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2011 Plan as follows: (i) Michael Offerman, our then Chief Executive Officer, was granted 75,000 options; (ii) Robert Knoth, our Chief Financial Officer, was granted 50,000 options; (iii) four non-executive officer key employees were granted 110,000 options; and (iv) each of our non-management directors, Allen Gottlieb and Gerald Chafetz, were granted 5,000 options. The stock options: (i) have a ten-year term; (ii) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined under the 2011 Plan, as reported in the OTCBB, on the date of grant ($6.00), except that the options granted to Michael Offerman has an exercise price equal to 110% of such fair market value because he owns ten percent (10%) or greater of the Company’s outstanding common stock; and (iii) were all immediately vested. In the event of the termination of each recipient’s employment by, or association with, the Company (as applicable), the options will remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Plan.

Effective July 15, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously voted to increase the number of directors from three to six directors and elected David Offerman as a Class II director and Dr. Sonia Marciano and Eric C. Hugel as Class I Directors.

Effective August 15, 2016, the Board of Directors also approved the granting of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2011 Plan to each of Dr. Marciano and Mr. Hugel as follows: Each of the new non-management directors will receive a grant of options totalling 5,000 shares each subject to the following vesting schedule: (i) 1,000 shares will vest immediately (August 15, 2016); (ii) 2,000 shares will vest on August 15, 2017; and (iii) 2,000 shares will vest on August 15, 2018. The stock options (i) have a ten-year term; and (ii) have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined under the 2011 Plan, as reported in the OTCBB, on the date of grant ($5.30). In the event of the termination of each recipient’s association with the Company, the options will remain exercisable in accordance with the terms of the 2011 Plan.

Cash Bonus Plan

In 1987, the Company adopted the Cash Bonus Plan for executive officers.

The Company accrued $162,000 for the six months ended September 29, 2017. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company’s contribution was $324,000.

IEH CORPORATION

PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, are not required to provide this information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

We do not believe that any of our financial instruments have significant risk associated with market sensitivity. For more information on these investments see Note 2 to our financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We are not exposed to significant financial market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and are only minimally impacted by changes in interest rates. We have not used, and currently do not contemplate

using, any derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

At any time, fluctuations in interest rates could affect interest earnings on our cash and marketable securities. We believe that the effect, if any, of reasonably possible near-term changes in interest rates on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows would not be material. Currently, we do not hedge these interest rate exposures. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve capital. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.

As of September 29, 2017, our unrestricted cash was $1,306,814 of which $689,020 was in an interest-bearing money market account with and the balance of $617,794 was maintained in non-interest-bearing checking accounts used to pay operating expenses. As of March 31, 2017, our unrestricted cash was $1,210,761 of which $1,138,935 was maintained in an interest-bearing money market account and the balance of $71, 826 was maintained in non-interest-bearing checking accounts to pay operating expenses.

Based on an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (who is also our President) and its Chief Financial Officer (who is also our controller and principal accounting officer) have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in this Report that it files or submit under the Exchange Act is, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified within the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of

IEH CORPORATION

PART I: FINANCIAL INFORMATION

the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. Our management, however, believes our disclosure controls and procedures are in fact effective to provide reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. In connection with their review and assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures, the Company has retained the services of an outside consultant to further assist management in its annual evaluation of such controls and procedures. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a – 15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 29, 2017 that have been materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not a party to or aware of any pending or threatened legal proceedings which, in the opinion of the Company’s management, would result in any material adverse effect on its results of operations or its financial condition.

Item 1a. Risk Factors

You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of following risk factors and the other information included in this report, in considering our business herein as well as the information included in other reports and prospects. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the matters or events described in the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

Failure to increase our revenue and keep our expenses consistent with revenues could prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability.

We have generated net income of $1,473,976, $1,690,110 and $1,809,555, respectively, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, March 25, 2016 and March 27, 2015 and $892,666 for the quarter ended September 29, 2017. We have expended, and will continue to be required to expend, substantial funds to pursue product development projects, enhance our marketing and sales efforts and to effectively maintain business operations. Therefore, we will need to generate higher revenues to achieve and maintain profitability and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in any future period.

Our capital requirements are significant and we have historically partially funded our operations through the financing of our accounts receivable.

We have an existing accounts receivable financing agreement with a commercial finance company whereby we can borrow up to 80 percent of our eligible receivables at an interest rate of 2.5% above JP Morgan Chase’s publicly announced prime rate with a minimum rate of 6% per annum. No assurances can be given that this financing agreement will continue into the future. If we are unable to continue with this agreement, our cash flow might adversely be affected.

Our success is dependent on the performance of our management and the cooperation, performance and retention of our executive officers and key employees.

Our business and operations are substantially dependent on the performance of our senior management team and executive officers. If our management team is unable to perform it may adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. We do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. The loss of one or several key employees could seriously harm our business. Any reorganization or reduction in the size of our employee base could harm our ability to attract and retain other valuable employees critical to the success of our business.

IEH CORPORATION

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1a. Risk Factors (continued)

Risks Related to Our Business (continued)

If we lose key personnel or fail to integrate replacement personnel successfully, our ability to manage our business could be impaired.

Our future success depends upon the continued service of our key management, technical, sales, finance, and other critical personnel. We cannot assure you that we will be able to retain them. Key personnel have left our Company in the past and there likely will be additional departures of key personnel from time to time in the future. The loss of any key employee could result in significant disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of Company initiatives, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and the results of our operations. In addition, hiring, training, and successfully integrating replacement sales and other personnel could be time consuming, may cause additional disruptions to our operations, and may be unsuccessful, which could negatively impact future revenues.

Our reported financial results could be adversely affected by changes in financial accounting standards or by the application of existing or future accounting standards to our business as it evolves.

As a result of the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the review of accounting policies by the SEC and national and international accounting standards bodies, the frequency of accounting policy changes may accelerate. Possible future changes to accounting standards, could adversely affect our reported results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price is volatile and could decline; we have a very limited trading market.

The price of our common stock has been, and is likely to continue to be, volatile. For example, our stock price during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 traded as low as $5.25 per share and as high as $6.79 per share. During the six-month period ended September 29, 2017, our common stock traded in the range of $5.89 per share to $6.78 per share. We cannot assure you that your initial investment in our common stock will not decline.
