3.  CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Inventories, net: Our consolidated inventories were stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our net inventories include approximately $50.9 million of finished goods, $3.6 million of raw materials and $2.2 million of work-in-progress as of February 29, 2020, as compared to approximately $47.2 million of finished goods, $4.2 million of raw materials and $1.8 million of work-in-progress as of June 1, 2019.

At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible future inventory write-downs. Provisions for obsolete or slow moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain markets and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand changes in the industry, or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary. Inventory reserves were approximately $4.9 million as of February 29, 2020 and $4.6 million as of June 1, 2019.

Revenue Recognition: Our product sales are recognized as revenue upon shipment, when title passes to the customer, when delivery has occurred or services have been rendered and when collectability is reasonably assured. We also record estimated discounts and returns based on our historical experience. Our products are often manufactured to meet the specific design needs of our customers’ applications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that our products will meet their needs. Our customers are under no obligation to compensate us for designing the products we sell.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 is principles based guidance that can be applied to all contracts with customers, enhancing comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets. The core principle of the guidance is that entities should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance details the steps entities should apply to achieve the core principle. In August 2015, the FASB issued an amendment to defer the effective date for all entities by one year. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies have the option of using either a full or modified retrospective approach in applying this standard. During fiscal 2016 and 2017, the FASB issued four additional updates which further clarify the guidance provided in ASU 2014-09.

Effective June 3, 2018, the Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective method to all contracts. As a result, financial information for the reporting period beginning June 3, 2018 was reported under the new standard, while comparative financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the previous standard. The adoption of this standard did not impact the timing of revenue recognition for our customer sales. The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. For the Company, the most significant impact of the new standard is the addition of required disclosures within the notes to the financial statements.

Loss Contingencies: We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined on quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives either on a straight-line basis or over their projected future cash flows and are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology acquired in connection with our acquisitions.

Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and determine the need for a valuation allowance based on a number of factors, including both positive and negative evidence. These factors include historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. In circumstances where we, or any of our affiliates, have incurred three years of cumulative losses which constitute significant negative evidence, positive evidence of equal or greater significance is needed to overcome the negative evidence before a tax benefit is recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards.

4.  REVENUE RECOGNITION

Richardson has a number of defined revenue streams across our reportable segments. For each of these revenue streams, all products are typically sold directly by the Company to the end customer. Distribution is the Company’s largest revenue stream. The distribution business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold on top of the product. Distribution typically includes products purchased from our suppliers, stocked in our warehouses and then sold to our customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers, which is simultaneous with the title transferring to the customer, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. Generally, our contracts require our customers to pay for goods after we deliver products to them. Terms are generally on open account, payable net 30 days in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America subject to customary credit checks.

The Company also sells products that are manufactured or assembled in our manufacturing facility. These products can either be built to the customer’s prints/designs or are products that we stock in our warehouse to sell to any customer that places an order. The manufacturing business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold in addition to the product.

The Company recognizes services revenue when the repair, installation or training is performed. Based on our analysis of services revenue, ASU 2014-09 has an immaterial impact on the timing, amount or characterization of services revenue recognized by the Company. The services we provide are relatively short in duration and typically completed in one to two weeks. Therefore, at each reporting date, the amount of unbilled work performed is insignificant. The services revenue has consistently accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s total revenues and is expected to continue at that level.

Contracts with customers

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties that creates enforceable rights and obligations. A revenue contract exists for us once a customer purchase order is received, reviewed and accepted. Prior to accepting a customer purchase order, we review the credit worthiness of the customer. Purchase orders are deemed to meet the collectability criterion once the customer’s credit is approved. Contract assets arise when the Company transfers a good or performs a service in advance of receiving consideration from the customer and contract liabilities arise when the Company receives consideration from its customer in advance of performance.

Performance obligations and satisfaction of performance obligation in the contract

Each accepted purchase order identifies a distinct good or service as the performance obligation. The goods are generally standard products we purchased from a supplier and stocked on our shelves. They can also be customized products purchased from a supplier or products that are customized or have value added to them in-house prior to shipping to the customer. Our contracts for customized products generally include termination provisions if a customer cancels its order. However, we recognize revenue at a point in time because the termination provisions do not require, upon cancelation, the customer to pay fees that are commensurate with the work performed. Each purchase order explicitly states the goods or service that we promise to transfer to the customer. The promises to the customer are limited only to those goods or service. The performance obligation is our promise to deliver both goods that were produced by the Company and resale of goods that we purchase from our suppliers. Our shipping and handling activities for destination shipments are performed prior to the customer obtaining control. As such, they are not a separate promised service. For shipping point, Richardson is making the election under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. The goods we provide to our customers are distinct in that our customers benefit from the goods we sell them through use in their own processes. Our customers are generally not resellers, but rather businesses that incorporate our products into their processes from which they generate an economic benefit. The goods are also distinct in that each item sold to the customer is clearly identified on both the purchase order and resulting invoice. Each product we sell benefits the customer independently of the other products. Each item on each purchase order from the customer can be used by the customer unrelated to any other products we provide to the customer.

Determine the transaction price and variable consideration

The transaction price for each product is the amount invoiced to the customer. Each product on a purchase order is a separate performance obligation with an observable standalone selling price. The transaction price is a fixed price per unit, except for the variable consideration. The Company elects to exclude sales tax from the transaction price. With the exception of sale with right of return, variable consideration has been identified only in the form of customer early payment discounts, which are immaterial to the Company’s financial statements. Although there is not a material impact on our financial statements, we will continue to account for customer discounts when they are taken by the customer and address further if they grow.

Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

We recognize revenue when title transfers to the customer, at the shipping point for FOB shipping contracts and at the customer’s delivery location for FOB destination contracts. We believe that the transfer of title best represents when the customer obtains control of the goods. Prior to that date, we do not have right to payment, and the significant risks and rewards remain with us. The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the inventory transfer simultaneously with the transfer of title. The customer’s acceptance of the goods is based on objective measurements, not subjective.

Additional considerations

Sale with right of return:

Our return policy is available to customers in our terms and conditions found on our website www.rell.com. The policy varies by business unit. The Company allows returns with prior written authorization and we allow returns within 10 days of shipment for replacement parts.

The Company maintains a reserve for returns based on historical trends that covers all contracts and revenue streams using the expected value method because we have a large number of contracts with similar characteristics, which is considered variable consideration. The reserve for returns creates a refund liability on our balance sheet as a contra Trade Accounts Receivable as well as an asset in inventory. We value the inventory at cost due to there being minimal or no costs to the Company as we generally require the customer to pay freight and we typically do not have costs associated with activities such as relabeling or repackaging.

The reserve is considered immaterial at each balance sheet date for further consideration. Returns for defective product are typically covered by our supplier’s warranty, thus, returns for defective product are not factored into our reserve.

Warranties:

We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years. We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of sale. Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty reserve. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products and warranty experience, if a sufficient history exists. See Note 7, Warranties, for further information regarding the impact of warranties concerning ASU 2014-09.

10


 

Principal versus agent considerations:

Principal versus agent guidance was considered for customized products that are provided by our suppliers versus manufactured by the Company. Richardson acts as the principal as we are responsible for satisfying the performance obligation. We have primary responsibility for fulfilling the contract, we have inventory risk prior to delivery to our customer, we establish prices, our consideration is not in the form of a commission and we bear the credit risk. The Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration.

See Note 11, Segment Reporting, for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and geographic region, which represents how our chief operating decision maker reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the Company.

5.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives and are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment.

7.  WARRANTIES

We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years.

We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expense related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products and warranty experience, if a sufficient history exists.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience and other available evidence. Warranty reserves were approximately $0.5 million as of February 29, 2020 and $0.3 million as of June 1, 2019.

8.  LEASE OBLIGATIONS, OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases (“Topic 842”). ASU 2016-02 establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available.

 

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company elects the practical expedients (which must be elected as a package and applied consistently to all of our leases) for which we will not reassess: (1) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contains leases, (2) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (3) the initial indirect costs for any existing leases. We have also elected the practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components for all of our leases. We have adopted an accounting policy to not apply the requirements of Topic 842 to leases with a term of 12 months or less, which the Company has within our facility leases. Short-term leases will be reassessed if events occur that disqualify them from short-term status.

The new standard was effective for the Company on June 2, 2019. The FASB issued ASU 2018-11, targeted improvements to Topic 842, which includes an option to not restate comparative periods in transition and elect to use the effective date of Topic 842 as the date of initial application of transition. We adopted the new standard applying the new transition method allowed under ASU 2018-11. As a result of adopting Topic 842, at February 29, 2020, we recognized operating right-of-use assets of $3.3 million, financing right-of-use assets of $0.4 million, operating lease liabilities of $3.4 million and financing lease liabilities of $0.4 million. Existing deferred rent of $0.1 million was recorded as an offset to our gross operating lease right-of-use assets. Several leases include renewal clauses which vary in length and may not include specific rent renewal amounts. The Company will revise the value of the right of use assets and associated lease liabilities when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew the lease. The standard did not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows.

On June 2, 2019, the Company elected the modified retrospective method of transition to adopt the new lease standard Topic 842, which resulted in no restatement of prior period results. At June 1, 2019, prior to adoption of the new lease standard, operating lease obligations were not included as a liability on the balance sheet. Therefore, the operating lease obligations were included in the table for comparative purposes only and the total lease liability was not included as it is not applicable.

9.  INCOME TAXES

We recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and the first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was a tax provision of (365.1)% as compared to a tax provision of (383.3)% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. The difference in rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss). The (365.1)% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss) and the movement of the valuation allowance against our U.S. state and federal net deferred tax assets.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2009 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2015 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2012. Germany is currently under audit for fiscal years 2015 through 2018.

We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. We have provided a deferred tax liability totaling $0.3 million as of February 29, 2020. As of June 1, 2019, the deferred tax liability totaled $0.2 million. 

As of February 29, 2020, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations was $0.1 million, excluding interest and penalties as compared to $0.1 million liabilities for uncertain tax positions as of June 1, 2019. There was no change in recorded uncertain tax positions during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. We record penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets that will more likely than not be realized was $12.0 million as of February 29, 2020. The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets was $11.7 million as of June 1, 2019 as no material additional domestic federal and state net deferred tax assets were generated during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from losses in the U.S. jurisdiction. A full valuation allowance on the U.S. and state deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income exists to support a reversal of the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

10.  CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have authorized 17,000,000 shares of common stock, and 3,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

In accordance with ASC 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”), our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method as prescribed in ASC 260. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of Class A common stock cash dividends.

12. LITIGATION

On October 15, 2018, Varex Imaging Corporation (“Varex”) filed its original Complaint (Case No. 1:18-cv-06911) against Richardson Electronics Ltd. (“Richardson”) in the Northern District of Illinois, which was subsequently amended on November 27, 2018. Varex alleged counts of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,456,692 and 6,519,317. Subsequently, on October 24, 2018, Varex filed a motion for preliminary injunction to stop the sale of Richardson’s ALTA750 TM product. Richardson filed an opposition to the preliminary injunction. In January 2019, the Court took evidence on the preliminary injunction issue. On September 30, 2019, the Court soundly denied Varex’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Richardson believes the lawsuit to be without merit and a loss is not probable or estimable based on the information at the time the financial statements were issued.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists; therefore, an entity is required to develop its own assumptions.

As of February 29, 2020, we held an investment that was required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Our investment consisted of a CD where face value was equal to fair value.

Investment measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820 as of February 29, 2020 was as follows (in thousands):

 

 

 

Level 1

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On June 15, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the IMES facility with LDL, LLC. The Executive Vice President of IMES, Lee A. McIntyre III (former owner of IMES), has an ownership interest in LDL, LLC. The lease agreement provides for monthly payments over five years with total future minimum lease payments of $0.8 million. Rental expense related to this lease amounted to $0.1 million for the nine months ended February 29, 2020 and for the nine months ended March 2, 2019. The Company shall be entitled to extend the term of the lease for a period of an additional five years by notifying the landlord in writing of its intention to do so within six months of the expiration of the initial term. The Company has extended the lease term for an additional five years, terminating on June 15, 2025.

15. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus originating in Wuhan, China (the “COVID-19 outbreak”) and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally beyond its point of origin. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure.

The full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak continues to evolve subsequent to the quarter ended February 29, 2020 and as of the date these unaudited consolidated financial statements are issued. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. As the spread of COVID-19 continues, our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers may experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at our transportation service providers or vendors) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company is currently evaluating how these provisions in the CARES Act will impact its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, consolidated net sales decreased 2.0% compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Sales for PMT decreased 2.5%, sales for Canvys increased 3.5% and sales for Healthcare decreased 11.9%. The decrease in PMT was mainly due to economic softness in the power grid tube business and the effect of the coronavirus on approximately 5% of our quarter’s shipments, partially offset by growth from our power conversion and RF and microwave components. The increase in Canvys was due to increased customer demand in its North American market. The decrease in Healthcare was due to lower equipment and non-core parts sales, partially offset by an increase in CT tube sales.

 

During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, consolidated net sales decreased 4.8% compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Sales for PMT decreased 7.9%, sales for Canvys increased 8.3% and sales for Healthcare were flat. The decrease in PMT was mainly due to economic softness in the power grid tube business and a slow ramp up in sales in the semiconductor wafer fab equipment business, partially offset by growth from our power conversion and RF and microwave components. The increase in Canvys was due to increased customer demand in its North American market.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales increased to 35.3% during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to 28.1% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 due to favorable product mix and improved manufacturing efficiencies.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $12.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 from $13.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, primarily due to lower severance, legal and professional services expenses, partially offset by higher research and development expenses for Healthcare.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $38.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from $39.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, primarily due to lower severance, legal and professional services expenses, partially offset by higher research and development expenses for Healthcare.

Other Income/Expense

Other income/expense was income of $0.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, compared to income of less than $0.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Other income/expense during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 included $0.1 million of investment/interest income. Other income/expense during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 included $0.1 million of investment/interest income offset by $0.1 million of foreign exchange losses. Our foreign exchange gains and losses are primarily due to the translation of U.S. dollars held in non-U.S. entities. We currently do not utilize derivative instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency.

Other income/expense was income of $0.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, compared to income of $0.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. Other income/expense during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 included $0.3 million of investment/interest income partially offset by $0.1 million of foreign exchange losses. Other income during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 included $0.4 million of investment/interest income partially offset by $0.2 million of foreign exchange losses.

Income Tax Provision

 

We recorded an income tax provision of $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and the first nine months of fiscal 2019, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was a tax provision of (365.1)% as compared to a tax provision of (383.3)% during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. The difference in rate during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss). The (365.1)% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss) and the movement of the valuation allowance against our U.S. state and federal net deferred tax assets.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2009 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2015 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2012. Germany is currently under audit for fiscal years 2015 through 2018.

Net Loss and Per Share Data

Net loss during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was $0.1 million or ($0.01) per diluted common share and ($0.01) per Class B diluted common share as compared to net loss of $1.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2019 or ($0.08) per diluted common share and ($0.08) per Class B diluted common share.

Net loss during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was $0.6 million or ($0.04) per diluted common share and ($0.04) per Class B diluted common share as compared to net loss of $1.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 or ($0.07) per diluted common share and ($0.07) per Class B diluted common share.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations and cash needs have been primarily financed through cash on hand and investments.

Cash and cash equivalents were $30.9 million at February 29, 2020. Investments included a CD classified as short-term investment of $13.0 million. Total cash and investment was $43.9 million at February 29, 2020. Cash, cash equivalents and investment at February 29, 2020 consisted of $27.7 million in North America, $10.2 million in Europe, $0.8 million in Latin America and $5.2 million in Asia/Pacific. We repatriated $4.4 million total cash from our entities in Germany and the Netherlands in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and $1.5 million from our entity in Japan in the third quarter of fiscal 2020. A total of $7.5 million was repatriated to the United States in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 from several of our foreign entities, which includes the amounts mentioned above in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020. Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act generally eliminated federal income tax on future cash repatriation to the United States, cash repatriation may be subject to state and local taxes, withholding or similar taxes. See Note 9 “Income Taxes” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 5, 2019, for further information.

Cash, cash equivalents and investments were $50.0 million at June 1, 2019. Cash, cash equivalents and investments at June 1, 2019, consisted of $21.5 million in North America, $17.8 million in Europe, $0.9 million in Latin America and $9.8 million in Asia/Pacific. We repatriated $2.3 million total cash from our entities in Japan and Korea in fiscal 2019 and $5.9 million total cash from our entities in Germany and France in fiscal 2019.

We believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs through the next twelve months. 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The cash used in operating activities primarily resulted from net loss adjusted for non-cash items and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Operating activities used $2.4 million of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. We had a net loss of $0.6 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, $0.5 million for inventory reserve provisions and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.5 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a use of cash of $5.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included an increase in inventory of $4.2 million, a decrease of $2.1 million in accounts payable and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $0.2 million partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.1 million. The decrease in our accounts payable was due to timing of payments for some of our larger vendors for both inventory and services. The majority of the inventory increase was to support the continued growth of our electron tube and RF and Power Technologies groups.

Operating activities used $5.2 million of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2019. We had net loss of $1.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.6 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, $0.6 million for inventory reserve provisions and depreciation and amortization expense of $2.4 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a use of cash of $8.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included a decrease of $5.4 million in accounts payable, an increase in inventory of $3.3 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.6 million partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities of $0.9 million and a decrease of $0.3 million in prepaid expenses and other assets. The decrease in our accounts payable was due to timing of payments for some of our larger vendors for both inventory and services. The inventory increase was primarily due to growth in supplying replacement systems and parts to the Healthcare market as well as an increase in components for the production of the ALTA 750 TM CT Tube.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The cash flow used in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of investments and capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds from the maturities of investments.

Cash used in investing activities of $6.2 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 included purchases of investments of $13.0 million and $1.2 million in capital expenditures, partially offset by proceeds from the maturities of investments of $8.0 million. Capital expenditures related primarily to capital used for our IT system, Healthcare and LaFox manufacturing businesses.

Cash used in investing activities of $18.7 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 included $17.8 million from purchases of investments and $3.2 million in capital expenditures partially offset by proceeds from the maturities of investments of $2.3 million. Capital expenditures relates primarily to our Healthcare growth initiatives, a new air conditioner unit for the global headquarters, investments in our LaFox manufacturing operation and capital used for our IT system.

Our purchases of investments consisted of CDs. Purchasing of future investments may vary from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The cash flow used in financing activities consisted primarily of cash dividends paid.

Cash used in financing activities of $2.4 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2020 primarily resulted from cash used to pay dividends.

Cash used in financing activities of $2.1 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2019 resulted from $2.3 million of cash used to pay dividends partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock from stock option exercises.

All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments will depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Risk Management and Market Sensitive Financial Instruments

We are exposed to many different market risks with the various industries we serve. The primary financial risk we are exposed to is foreign currency exchange, as certain operations, assets and liabilities of ours are denominated in foreign currencies. We manage these risks through normal operating and financing activities.

The interpretation and analysis of these disclosures should not be considered in isolation since such variances in exchange rates would likely influence other economic factors. Such factors, which are not readily quantifiable, would likely also affect our operations. Additional disclosure regarding various market risks are set forth in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 2019, filed August 5, 2019.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management of the Company, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of February 29, 2020.

Disclosure controls and procedures are intended to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

(b)

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during the third quarter of fiscal 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On October 15, 2018, Varex Imaging Corporation (“Varex”) filed its original Complaint (Case No. 1:18-cv-06911) against Richardson Electronics Ltd. (“Richardson”) in the Northern District of Illinois, which was subsequently amended on November 27, 2018. Varex alleged counts of infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,456,692 and 6,519,317. Subsequently, on October 24, 2018, Varex filed a motion for preliminary injunction to stop the sale of Richardson’s ALTA750 TM product. Richardson filed an opposition to the preliminary injunction. In January 2019, the Court took evidence on the preliminary injunction issue. On September 30, 2019, the Court soundly denied Varex’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction. Richardson believes the lawsuit to be without merit and a loss is not probable or estimable based on the information at the time the financial statements were issued.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The Company's operations and financial results are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including those described in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 2019, filed August 5, 2019.  The following supplements and updates the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 1, 2019.

Major disruptions to our logistics capability or to the operations of our key vendors or customers could have a material adverse impact on our operations.

We operate our global logistics services through specialized and centralized distribution centers. We depend on third party transportation service providers for the delivery of products to our customers. A major interruption or disruption in service at any of our distribution centers, or a disruption at the operations of any of our significant vendors or customers, for any reason, including reasons beyond our control (such as natural disasters, pandemics (such as the outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus, now known as COVID-19), work stoppages, power loss, cyber attacks, incidents of terrorism or other significant disruptions of services from our third party providers) could cause cancellations or delays in a significant number of shipments to customers and, as a result, could have a severe impact on our business, operations and financial performance.

In December 2019, an outbreak of COVID-19 virus originated in Wuhan, China, and has since spread to a number of other countries, including the United States. The outbreak and actions taken by the Chinese government resulted in travel restrictions and extended shutdowns of certain businesses in the region. As a result, we experienced cancellations and delays in shipments to our customers in China as well as receiving shipments from our vendors in China during our third quarter of fiscal 2020. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency and the risks to the international community as the virus spreads globally. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic, based on the rapid increase in global exposure. In response, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions (including areas in which we have operations) have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on business operations and requiring individuals to stay at home. As the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak continues, our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers may experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19. A resulting reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including as a result of disruptions at our transportation service providers or vendors) could cause a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. This is a very dynamic situation and we cannot at this time predict the extent to which the COVID-19 outbreak may impact our future results.
