Note 1. Basis of Presentation of Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Video Display Corporation, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Video Display, the Company, we, or us). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 29, 2020 has been derived from audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2020, and for the three and six months ended, August 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with (i) accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and (ii) the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, such statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for a complete presentation of financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including those of a normal, recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending February 28, 2021. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Video Displays Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 29, 2020 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2020.
Note 2. Banking & Liquidity
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss for the period ending August 31, 2020 and had a decrease in working capital and liquid assets for the six month period primarily as a result of $1.0 million loss in the second quarter. The Company has sustained losses for the last four of five fiscal years and has seen overall a decline in working capital and liquid assets during this five year period. Annual losses over this time are due to a combination of decreasing revenues across certain divisions without a commensurate reduction of expenses. The Company has seen a rise in the backlog for customer orders and increased activity within the markets it serves. The Companys working capital and liquid asset position are presented below (in thousands) as of August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020:
August 31, 2020 |
February 29, 2020 |
|||||||
Working capital |
$ | 860 | $ | 1,263 | ||||
Liquid assets |
$ | 429 | $ | 844 |
Management has implemented a plan to improve the liquidity of the Company. The Company has been implementing a plan to increase revenues at all the divisions, each structured to the particular division. The fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 was a transition year for the Company. Many of the legacy programs the Company serviced were heading into new phases or the next generation of the product line. This caused delays in the normal flow of the orders for these programs. The Company is working with these customers and expects these programs to be placing orders to be fulfilled in this fiscal year. Also, the Company completed the transfer of its remaining CRT operations to its Lexel Imaging facility in Lexington, KY in fiscal 2021 which will reduce expenses in the CRT operation by having that business all under one roof. The Company also moved the corporate accounting functions to the Cocoa, Florida location in fiscal 2020 which allows the Company to become more efficient and save money on reducing redundant operations. Management continues to explore options to increase the liquidity of the Company. If additional and more permanent capital is required to fund the operations of the Company, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain the capital on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of managements plans to improve revenues, the operational effectiveness of continuing operations, the procurement of suitable financing, or a combination of these. The uncertainty regarding the potential success of managements plan create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
The Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASBs) fair value measurement guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. | |
Level 2 | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. | |
Level 3 | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company consist of investment securities held for trading using Level 1 inputs. The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of August 31, 2020 (in thousands):

The Company had zero balance on outstanding margin account borrowing as of August 31, 2020 and none as of February 29, 2020. The margin account borrowings are used to purchase marketable equity securities and are netted against the investments in the balance sheet to show net trading investments. The gross investments were $15.0 thousand leaving net investments of $15.0 thousand after no margin account borrowings at August 31, 2020. The margin interest rate is 1.50% at August 31, 2020. No investments were held at February 29, 2020.
The Companys financial instruments which are not measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets include cash, accounts receivable, short-term liabilities, and debt. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximate cost due to the short period of time to maturity.

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted
Effective March 1, 2020 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820-10): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this ASU, certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements are eliminated, amended or added. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning on March 1, 2020 and prescribes different transition methods for the various provisions. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Companys financial statements and disclosures.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12), which simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions related to the approach for intra-period tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The new ASU also simplifies aspects of the accounting for franchise taxes and enacted changes in tax laws or rates. These changes aim to improve the overall usefulness of disclosures to financial statement users and reduce unnecessary costs to companies when preparing the disclosures. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning on March 1, 2021 and prescribes different transition methods for the various provisions. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2019-12 to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost, including trade receivables. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model that requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies, with early adoption permitted. Entities will apply the amendments using a modified retrospective approach. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to have a material impact on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 6. Paycheck Protection Promissory (PPP) Related Loans
On April 13, 2020 our Lexel Imaging subsidiary entered into a $216,200 Paycheck Protection Promissory Note (the PPP Loan) with the Central Bank and on April 23, 2020, Video Display Corporation entered into a $772,000 PPP Loan with the Renasant Bank. The PPP Loans were made under, and are subject to the terms and conditions of, the PPP which was established under the CARES Act and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The current terms of the loans are two years with maturity dates of April 13, 2022 and April 23, 2022 and they contain a fixed annual interest rate of 1.00%. Payments of principle and interest on the PPP Loans will be deferred for the first six months of the term of the PPP Loans until October 13, 2020 and October 23, 2020, respectively. Principle and interest are payable monthly and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the CARES Act, recipients can apply for and receive forgiveness for all, or a portion of the loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP, including, but not limited to, payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, Qualifying Expenses), and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels during a certain time period following the funding of the PPP Loans. The Company has been using the proceeds of the PPP Loans for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is provided that the Company will be able to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loans in whole or in part. As of August 31, 2020, $550 thousand of the total $988 thousand in PPP related loans is classified as a current liability on the condensed consolidated balances sheets.
Note 7. Leases

Note 8. Notes Receivable and Payable to Officers and Directors (Related Party Transactions)
On March 30, 2016, the Company entered into an assignment with recourse of the note receivable from Z-Axis Inc. (Z-Axis) with Ronald D. Ordway, CEO, and Jonathan R. Ordway, related parties, for the sum of $912 thousand. The note receivable is collateralized by a security interest in the shares of Z-Axis as well as a personal guaranty of its majority shareholder. Z-Axis is current on all scheduled payments regarding this note. The Company retains the right to repurchase the note at any time for 80% of the outstanding principle balance. Also, in the event of default by Z-Axis, the Company is obligated to repurchase the note for 80% of the remaining principle balance plus any accrued interest. Accordingly, the Company has recognized this transaction as a secured borrowing. The $ 0.9 million, 9% interest rate, note originated on

August 31, 2020
March 30, 2016, with payments beginning on April 16, 2016 and continuing for 56 months thereafter. The balance of the note was $77 thousand, all classified as current (related party note receivable and related party note payable) as of August 31, 2020 and $189 thousand, all classified as current as of February 29, 2020, respectively.
In January 2020, to assist the Company in funding the debt assumed resulting from the acquisition of Jaco Displays, LLC, the Company borrowed $505,180 from Ronald D. Ordway, CEO, comprised of cash proceeds received of $148,330 with the remaining $356,850 in debt assumed as the CEO personally funded certain liabilities resulting from the acquisition. The Company combined this amount borrowed with another $438,832 owed to Mr. Ordway in back rent along with $82,838 from previous borrowings, and signed a promissory note for the aggregate balance of $1,026,850 at a six percent interest rate due on or before July 24, 2020 with Mr. Ordway. The Company made a $35,000 payment to Mr. Ordway in March, 2020, and borrowed another $200,000 in August, 2020 leaving a balance of $1,191,850 at August 31, 2020. This note balance is therefore classified as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheet. As disclosed in Note 13, this note with Mr. Ordway was paid in full by the Company in September 2020.

Note 10. Shareholders Equity
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Shares issued during the period are weighted for the portion of the period that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings (loss) per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

Stock options, debentures, and other liabilities convertible into 200,000 shares, of the Companys common stock were anti-dilutive and, therefore, were excluded from the August 31, 2020 and 2019 diluted earnings (loss) per share calculations.
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
For the six-month period ended August 31, 2020, there was no expense related to share-based compensation as all options were fully vested. For the period ended August 31, 2019, the Company recognized general and administrative expenses of $3 thousand related to share-based compensation.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which requires the Company to estimate the expected term of the stock option grants and expected future stock price volatility over the term. The term represents the expected period of time the Company believes the options will remain outstanding based on historical information. Estimates of expected future stock price volatility are based on the historic volatility of the Companys common stock, which represents the standard deviation of the differences in the weekly stock closing price, adjusted for dividends and stock splits.
No options were granted for the six month period ending August 31, 2020 or for the six month period ended August 31, 2019.
Stock Repurchase Program
The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it had been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Companys common stock in the open market. On January 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-time continuation of the stock repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock in the open market. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program.
For the six months ending August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company did not purchase any shares of the Video Display Corporation stock. Under the Companys stock repurchase program, an additional 490,186 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at August 31, 2020.
Note 11. Income Taxes
Due to the Companys overall and historical net loss position, no income tax expense was reported for the six month period ending August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019. Due to continued losses reported by the Company, a full valuation allowance has been allocated to the deferred tax asset created by these losses.
Note 12. Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings related to claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
Note 13. Subsequent Events
The Company sold its Pennsylvania owned building in September 2020 with net proceeds of $2.028 million after commissions and closing costs. The funds were used to pay back the note payable with the CEO as disclosed in Note 8 and for working capital needs.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and with the Companys 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders, which included audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, as well as Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview
The Company manufactures and distributes a wide range of display devices, encompassing, among others, industrial, military, medical, and simulation display solutions. The Company is comprised of one segment - the manufacturing and distribution of displays and display components. The Company is organized into four interrelated operations aggregated into one reportable segment.
| Simulation and Training Products offers a wide range of projection display systems for use in training and simulation, military, medical, entertainment and industrial applications. |
| Cyber Secure Products offers advanced TEMPEST technology, and (EMSEC) products. This business also provides various contract services including the design and testing solutions for defense and niche commercial uses worldwide. |
| Data Display CRTs offers a wide range of CRTs for use in data display screens, including computer terminal monitors and medical monitoring equipment. |
| Other Computer Products offers a variety of keyboard products. |
During fiscal 2021, management of the Company is focusing key resources on strategic efforts to grow its business through internal sales of the Companys more profitable product lines and reduce expenses in all areas of the business to bring its cost structure in line with the current size of the business. Challenges facing the Company during these efforts include:
Liquidity - The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss for the period ending August 31, 2020 and had a decrease in working capital and liquid assets for the six month period primarily as a result of $1.0 million loss in the second quarter. The Company has sustained losses for the last four of five fiscal years and has seen overall a decline in working capital and liquid assets during this five year period. Annual losses over this time are due to a combination of decreasing revenues across certain divisions without a commensurate reduction of expenses. The Company has seen a rise in the backlog for customer orders and increased activity within the markets it serves. The Companys working capital and liquid asset position are presented below (in thousands) as of August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020:

February 29, 2020 |
|||||||
Working capital |
$ | 860 | $ | 1,263 | ||||
Liquid assets |
$ | 429 | $ | 844 |
Management has implemented a plan to improve the liquidity of the Company. The Company has been implementing a plan to increase revenues at all the divisions, each structured to the particular division. The fiscal year ended February 29, 2020 was a transition year for the Company. Many of the legacy programs the Company serviced were heading into new phases or the next generation of the product line. This caused delays in the normal flow of the orders for these programs. The Company is working with these customers and expects these programs to be placing orders to be fulfilled

August 31, 2020
in this fiscal year. For example, the Company received a $2.8 million order for one of these legacy programs in fiscal 2021. The Company has expanded its cyber security business by adding a second testing chamber for testing tempest products in fiscal 2020 allowing it to increase the business in cyber testing services to supplement the product side of the business. The Company is also now involved in ruggedized displays, recently bringing on engineering familiar with these products and acquiring a small specialized display company in January 2020. The Company did $1.1 million in specialized displays in fiscal 2021 with an additional backlog of $0.9 million for these products. Also, the Company completed the transfer of its remaining CRT operations to its Lexel Imaging facility in Lexington, KY in fiscal 2021 which will reduce expenses in the CRT operation by having that business all under one roof. The Company also moved the corporate accounting functions to the Cocoa, Florida location in fiscal 2020 which allows the Company to become more efficient and save money on reducing redundant operations. In addition, the Company sold its Pennsylvania owned building in September 2020 with net proceeds of $2.028 million after commissions and closing costs. These net proceeds were used to pay back the note payable with the CEO with remaining funds allocated for working capital needs.
Management continues to explore options to increase the liquidity of the Company. If additional and more permanent capital is required to fund the operations of the Company, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to obtain the capital on terms favorable to the Company, if at all.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of managements plans to improve revenues, the operational effectiveness of continuing operations, the procurement of suitable financing, or a combination of these. The uncertainty regarding the potential success of managements plan create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Inventory management The Companys business units utilize different inventory components than the divisions had in the past. The Company has a reserve at each of its divisions to offset any obsolescence although most purchases are for current orders, which should reduce the amount of obsolescence in the future. The Company still has CRT inventory in stock and component parts for legacy products, although it believes the inventory will be sold in the future, will continue to reserve for any additional obsolescence. Management believes its inventory reserves at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 are adequate.
Impact of COVID-19 The Company has been actively monitoring the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, situation and its impact globally. Financial results for the three and six months ended August 31, 2020 have been impacted by COVID-19 due to delayed orders and/or the fulfillment of the related orders. However, the Company currently does not expect any material impact on our financial results for the remainder of fiscal 2021. Management continues to operate normally with the exception of enabling employees to work from home and abiding by travel restrictions issued by federal and local governments. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the Company may experience other disruptions that could severely impact the business, results of operations and prospects.

Net sales
Consolidated net sales increased 1.0% for the six months ended August 31, 2020, but decreased 29.0% for the three months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the six months and three months ended August 31, 2019. The Companys AYON Cyber Security (ACS) division is up 27.9% for the six months ending August 31, 2020 compared to the six months last year. Their business increased due to the completion of orders for the Department of the State. The activity in the cyber security market place has begun to pick up with the Department of State beginning to release bids for numerous large orders and the Company also has bids with Canada. The Company is developing new products for customers in this area and expects to have them be reviewed by customers by the end of this year. The Company has also ramped up the service side of the cyber business by testing other companys products for compliance. To accommodate this additional business, the Company added a second testing chamber. For the three months ending August 31, 2020, ACS business increased 146.3%. The Display Systems division was down 5.1% for the six months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the comparable period last year. 36.2% of the divisions business has been in the new specialized displays segment of the division. The other approximate two thirds has been mixed between different programs including ruggedized displays, simulation and video walls. For the three months ended August 31, 2020, the Display System division was down 47.0% compared to the same three months last year due to the sale for the video wall for $1.2 million in the second quarter last year. The Company is focused on the video wall business with a recent order for a video wall for a major companys executive conference room. The Company is also focused on the ruggedized displays and simulation sectors of the business, having recently received a good order for simulation and pursuing opportunities in both the ruggedized displays and simulation business. The Data Display division decreased 7.8% and 38.6% for the six months and three months ended August 31, 2020 due to decreases in the sales of a specialty product know as a DVST (Direct view storage tube) because of delays caused by Covid-19. The Data Display division is also seeing reduced sales for replacement CRTs for flight simulator customers due to the decrease in flights right now. The division expects to sell the DVST products for at least the next five to seven years. The Companys keyboard division was up 2.3% for the six months ended August 31, 2020 and down 2.5% for three months ended August 31, 2020 respectively compared to the same periods last year. The Company acquired this company in October of 2017. This division is expected to continue at this level of sales each quarter.
Gross margins
Consolidated gross margins increased both as a percentage to sales (19.4% from 15.6%) and actual dollars ($1,163 thousand from $923 thousand) for the six months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2019. Gross margins decreased for the three months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2019, both as a percentage to sales (8.1% from 15.5%) and actual dollars, ($185 thousand from $498 thousand).

August 31, 2020
Two of the four divisions (Display and Keyboard divisions) saw increases in gross margin percentages and gross margin dollars for the six months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the same period last year. The Cyber Security division saw an increase in gross margin dollars due to higher sales volume but had a lower gross margin percentage as much of their revenue was from a competitive bid contract. The only division with a lower gross margin percentage and dollars was the Data Displays CRT division.
For the three months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the same period last year, three of the four divisions made less gross margin dollars than last year. The cyber division did slightly better than last year. Overall gross margins for the quarter were down to the low sales volume as the display and cyber divisions had higher gross margin percentages than last year.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses increased $394 thousand for the six months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the six months ended August 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to the addition of certain expenses associated with the acquisition of Jaco Displays in January, 2020 and commission expense at the Lexel Imaging (CRT) operation on the sales of the specialty direct view storage tubes.
Operating expenses increased by 21.7% or $226 thousand for the three months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the three months ended August 31, 2019. The increase was due primarily to the increased costs of three employees that joined the Company resulting from the acquisition of the display company in January of this year, two in engineering, one in sales and the amortization costs of the intangibles ($30k) related to this acquisition. The Company expects to continue to control costs while increasing revenues with the completion of the new tempest testing chamber and new revenue streams of tempest services, specialized displays and ruggedized displays.
Interest income (expense), net
Interest expense was $31 thousand for the six months ending August 31, 2020. The interest expense was $1 thousand for the six months ending August 31, 2019. There was $16 thousand for the three months ending August 31, 2020 and was negligible for the three months ending August 31, 2019. The interest expense is on the note payable to the CEO and the PPP loan. These notes payable are discussed in Notes 6 and 8 of the financial statements.
Other income (expense), net
For the six months ended August 31, 2020, the Company had $148 thousand in royalty income, $181 thousand in rental income, $6 thousand in discontinued scrap items, and $6 thousand in investment losses. For the six months ended August 31, 2019, the Company earned $191 thousand in royalty income, $183 in rental income, $15 thousand in scrap sales, and $1 thousand investment income.
For the three months ended August 31, 2020 the Company had $91 thousand in rental income, $1 thousand in scrap items, and $4 thousand in investment gains. For the three months ended August 31, 2019, the Company earned $93 thousand in rental income, $15 thousand in scrap income and a $1 thousand loss in investment income.
Income taxes
Due to the Companys overall and historical net loss position, no income tax expense was reported for the six month period ending August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019. Due to continued losses reported by the Company, a full valuation allowance was allocated to the deferred tax asset created by these losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company reported a net loss for the period ending August 31, 2020 and had a decrease in working capital and liquid assets for the six month period primarily as a result of $1.0 million loss in the second quarter. The Company has sustained losses for the last four of five fiscal years and has seen overall a decline in working capital and liquid assets during this five year period. Annual losses over this time are due to a combination of decreasing revenues across certain divisions without a commensurate reduction of expenses. The Company has seen a rise in the backlog for customer orders and increased activity within the markets it serves. The Companys working capital and liquid asset position are presented below (in thousands) as of August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020:

Management has implemented a plan to improve the liquidity of the Company and to increase revenues at all the divisions, each structured to the particular division. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the success of managements plans to improve revenues, the operational effectiveness of continuing operations, the procurement of suitable financing, or a combination of these. The uncertainty regarding the potential success of managements plan create substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Cash used by operations for the six months ended August 31, 2020 was $1.5 million. Adjustments to net loss were $0.2 million for non-cash depreciation and amortization charges. Changes in working capital used $0.8 million, primarily due to a decrease in custom deposits of $1.0 million and an increase in contract assets by $0.2 million, offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.3 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets of $0.2 million. Cash provided by operations for the six months ended August 31, 2019 was $0.4 million.
There was minimal investing activities for the six months ended August 31, 2020. The Company used $31 thousand on capital assets expenditures and $47 thousand on trading security purchases offset with $24 thousand received from sale of investments. Investing activities used cash of $0.2 million during the six months ended August 31, 2019 resulting primarily from the purchase of capital assets.
Financing activities provided $1.1 million for the six months ended August 31, 2020 resulting from $1.0 million proceeds received from the PPP Loan discussed in Note 6 of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, $0.2 million borrowed from the CEO marginally offset by repayment of $35 thousand in related party loans. Financing activities used $0.1 million for the quarter ended August 31, 2019 related to the final debt payments made on the Teltron Building.
The Company has a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which it has been authorized to repurchase up to 2,632,500 shares of the Companys common stock in the open market. On January 20, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a one-time continuation of the stock repurchase program, and authorized the Company to repurchase up to 1,500,000 additional shares of the Companys common stock on the open market, depending on the market price of the shares. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the program.
For the quarter ending August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company did not purchase any shares of the Video Display Corporation stock. Under the Companys stock repurchase program, an additional 490,186 shares remain authorized to be repurchased by the Company at August 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Estimates
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Companys interim condensed consolidated financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. The accounting policies that may involve a higher degree of judgments, estimates, and complexity include reserves on inventories, revenue recognition, and the sufficiency of the valuation reserve related to deferred tax assets. The Company uses the following methods and assumptions in determining its estimates:
Reserves on Inventories
Reserves on inventories result in a charge to operations when the estimated net realizable value declines below cost. Management regularly reviews the Companys investment in inventories for declines in value and establishes reserves when it is apparent that the expected net realizable value of the inventory falls below its carrying amount. Management reviews inventory levels on a quarterly basis. Such reviews include observations of product development trends of the original equipment manufacturers, new products being marketed, and technological advances relative to the product capabilities of the Companys existing inventories. Management believes its inventory reserves at August 31, 2020 and February 29, 2020 are adequate.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services. We derive our revenue primarily from sales of simulation and video wall systems, cyber secure products, data displays, and keyboards. We exclude sales and usage-based taxes from revenue.
Our simulation and video wall systems are custom-built (using commercial off-the-shelf products) to customer specifications under fixed price contracts. Judgment is required to determine whether each product and service is considered to be a distinct performance obligation that should be accounted for separately under the contract. Generally, these contracts contain one performance obligation (the installation of a fully functional system). We recognize revenue for these systems over time as control is transferred based on labor hours incurred on each project.
We recognize revenue related to our cyber secure products, data displays, and keyboards at a point in time when control is transferred to the customer (generally upon shipment of the product to the customer).
Timing of invoicing to customers may differ from timing of revenue recognition; however, our contracts do not include a significant financing component as substantially all of our invoices have terms of 30 days or less. We are applying the practical expedient to exclude from consideration any contracts with payment terms of one year or less and we never offer terms extending beyond one year.
Other Loss Contingencies
Other loss contingencies are recorded as liabilities when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable. Disclosure is required when there is a reasonable possibility that the ultimate loss will exceed the recorded provision. Contingent liabilities are often resolved over long time periods. Estimating probable losses requires analysis of multiple factors that often depend on judgments about potential actions by third parties.

Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. As of August 31, 2020, the Company has established a valuation allowance of $6.3 million on the Companys deferred tax assets.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions under the provisions of ASC 740, which contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating the Companys tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At August 31, 2020, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
