NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
We develop and sell devices that use spintronics,
a nanotechnology that relies on electron spin rather than electron charge to acquire,
store, and transmit information.
NOTE 2. INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements
of NVE Corporation are prepared consistent with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States and in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules
and regulations. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect
all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial statements. Although we believe that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading,
it is suggested that these unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and the notes included in our latest annual
financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2010. The results of operations for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have adopted all recently issued accounting pronouncements. The adoption of the accounting pronouncements,
including those not yet effective, is not anticipated to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are computed based on the
weighted-average number of common shares issued and outstanding during each period.
Diluted net income per share amounts assume conversion, exercise or issuance of
all potential common stock instruments (stock options and warrants). Stock options
and warrants totaling 5,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2010 and 1,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise
prices of the options and warrants were greater than the market price of the common
stock. The following table reflects the components of common shares outstanding:
| Quarter Ended June 30 |
2010 | |
2009 |
Weighted average common shares outstanding basic | 4,700,583 | | 4,676,209 |

Gross unrealized losses at June 30, 2010 were attributable to three corporate bonds and one U.S. agency security in our
portfolio of 52 securities. All of the securities with an unrealized loss were rated A2/A or better by Moodys or Standard and Poors, and none had been in a continuous unrealized
loss position for 12 months or more. Of the $324,356 total gross unrealized loss, $313,428 was attributable to guaranteed global notes issued
by BP Capital Markets plc, which were downgraded to A2/A from Aa1/A+ during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Our investments in such securities issued by BP mature November 7, 2013 and had a fair market value of $2,482,002 at June 30, 2010.
The impact of BPs Macondo subsea well oil spill on BPs financial profile was cited as a reason for downgrade.
For the securities issued by BP and each other security with an unrealized loss,
we expect to recover the entire cost basis of each security based on our consideration
of factors including their credit ratings, seniority, and historical default rates for securities of comparable credit rating. Because
we expect to recover the entire cost basis of the securities,
and because we do not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely
than not that we will be required to sell the securities before recovery of the
cost basis, which may be maturity, we did not consider any of our marketable securities
to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2010.

of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
No tax provisions were credited to
Additional paid-in capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2010;
$116,941 was credited to Additional paid-in capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30,
2010 or March 31, 2010, and we do not expect any significant unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months
of the reporting date. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax
matters in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2010 and March 31, 2010, we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions. The tax years 1999 through
2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we
are subject.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value, provide a definition of fair value and prescribe required disclosures about fair-value measurements. Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability. Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined using assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Generally accepted accounting principles utilize a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The categories within the valuation hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Our Level 1 financial instruments consist of publicly-traded marketable debt securities that are classified as available-for-sale. On the balance sheets, available-for-sale securities are classified as Marketable securities, short term and Marketable securities, long term. The fair value of our available-for-sale securities was $53,021,190 at June 30, 2010 and $48,154,478 at March 31, 2010.
Level 2 Financial instruments with quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. Level 2 fair value measurements are determined using either prices for similar instruments or inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as interest rates. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities being measured at fair value that are classified as Level 2 financial instruments.
Level 3 Inputs to the fair value measurement are unobservable inputs or valuation techniques. We do not have any financial assets or liabilities being measured at fair value that are classified as Level 3 financial instruments.
NOTE 11. STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
On January 21, 2009 we announced that our Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of up to $2,500,000 of our Common Stock.
The repurchase program may be modified or discontinued at any time without notice.
We did not repurchase any of our Common Stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Forward-looking statements
Some of the statements made in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference
in this Report and in other materials filed or to be filed by us with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as information included in verbal
or written statements made by us constitute forward-looking statements within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements
are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the reform act. Forward-looking statements
may be identified by the use of the terminology such as may, will, expect, anticipate,
intend, believe, estimate, should, or continue, or the negatives of these terms
or other variations on these words or comparable terminology. To the extent that
this Report contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition,
operating results, business prospects or any other aspect of NVE, you should be
aware that our actual financial condition, operating results and business performance
may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us in the forward-looking
statements. We have attempted to identify, in context, some of the factors that
we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ
from their current expectations. These differences may be caused by a variety
of factors, including but not limited to risks associated with competition, progress in research and development activities
by us and others, decreased sales, failure of suppliers to meet our requirements, inability
to meet customer technical requirements, inability to consummate license agreements,
ineligibility for SBIR awards, inability to renew agreements with large customers, risks of losses on our marketable securities, and other specific risks
that may be alluded to in this Report or in the documents incorporated by reference
in this Report.
Further information regarding our risks and uncertainties are
contained in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2010,

The increase in product sales from the prior-year
quarter was due to the addition of new customers and increased purchase volume
by existing customers.
The decrease in research and development revenue
was due to the completion of certain contracts and contract activities. Contract research and development activities can fluctuate for
a number of reasons, some of which are beyond our control, and there can be no
assurance of additional or follow-on contracts for expired or completed contracts.
Gross profit margin decreased to 71% of revenue
for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 72% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010, due to a less favorable product sales mix.
Total expenses increased 7% for
the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 due to a 28% increase
in research and development expense. The increase in research and development expense was due to a decrease
in contract research and development activities, which
caused resources to be reallocated to expensed research and development activities,
and increased product development activities.
Research and development expense can fluctuate significantly depending
on staffing, project requirements, and contract research and development activities.
Interest income increased 29% to $475,730 for the first quarter of fiscal 2011
compared to $370,025 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The increase was due to an increase in interest-bearing marketable
securities.
The provision for income taxes was $1,570,074 for
the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $1,471,158 for the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The effective tax rate was 34% of income before taxes
for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 33% for the prior-year quarter due
to a higher Federal effective tax rate. Our effective tax rate can fluctuate due to a number of factors,
some of which are outside our control.
The 6% increase in net income in the first quarter
of fiscal 2011 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to increased
product sales and increased interest income.

Liquidity and capital resources
At June 30, 2010 we had $54,675,483 in
cash plus short-term and long-term marketable securities compared to $49,543,766
at March 31, 2010. Our entire portfolio of short-term and long-term
marketable securities is classified as available for sale. The increase in cash
plus marketable securities in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was primarily
due to $5,424,535 in net cash provided by operating activities partially offset by a $230,864 net decrease in the market value of our marketable securities due to market-price
changes including a downgrade in the credit rating of a security. Further information regarding risks related to our marketable securities are
contained in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Accounts receivable decreased by $1,042,793 at June 30, 2010 compared to March 31, 2010 due to the timing
of payments by our customers and higher revenue late in fiscal 2010 compared to late in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Income taxes payable increased $1,543,822 because we had no estimated income tax payments due in the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
We had no deferred revenue as of June 30, 2010 compared to $20,833 at March 31, 2010. Deferred revenue at March 31, 2010 was due to a nonrefundable
payment of $250,000 by Avago to us under the terms of Amendment No. 2 to an agreement between us and Agilent. We recognized revenue from
the payment over the term of Amendment No. 2, which was effective as of June 27, 2007 and ended June 27, 2010.
Purchases of fixed assets were $61,953 during the quarter, primarily for production equipment. We currently expect such purchases to be at a significantly higher quarterly rate during the balance of the fiscal
year ending March 31, 2011 because we plan to expand our production capacity.
We currently believe our working capital is adequate for our needs at least for the next 12 months.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The primary objective of our investment activities
is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing after-tax yields without
significantly increasing risk. To achieve this objective, we maintain our portfolio
of cash equivalents and marketable securities in a variety of securities including
government agency obligations, municipal obligations, corporate obligations, and
money market funds. Short-term and long-term marketable securities are generally
classified as available-for-sale and consequently are recorded on the balance
sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component
of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of estimated tax. Marketable securities
as of June 30, 2010 had remaining maturities between seven weeks and 57 months.
Our short-term and long-term marketable securities had a fair market value of
$53,021,190 at June 30, 2010, representing approximately 85% of our total
assets. We have not used derivative financial instruments in our investment portfolio.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management, with the participation of the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has performed an evaluation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act)) as of the end of the
period covered by this report. This evaluation included consideration of the
controls, processes and procedures that are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act
is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SECs rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this
report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010,
there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
PART IIOTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes from the risk
factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 2010, except the risk factors titled We may lose revenue if we are unable to renew agreements with large customers and We could incur losses on our marketable securities are replaced in their entirety by the following:
We may lose revenue if we are unable to renew agreements with large customers.
Our Supplier Partnering Agreement with
St. Jude Medical, as amended, expires December 31, 2010; our agreement with Avago Technologies, Inc.,
as amended, expires June 27, 2013; our and our
Phonak AG Supply Agreement expires May 1, 2012. We have executed a letter of intent including a provision to extended the term of our Agreement with Phonak through March 31, 2015. We cannot predict
if any of these agreements will be renewed, or if renewed, under what terms.
Although it is possible we could continue to sell products to these
customers without formal agreements, an inability to agree on mutually acceptable terms or the loss of
any of these large customers could have a significant adverse impact on our
revenue and our profitability.
This risk factor is being updated because we executed an amendment extending the term of our agreement with Avago and a letter of intent including a provision to extended the term of our agreement with Phonak.
We could incur losses on our marketable securities.
At June 30, 2010, we held $53,021,190 in short-term
and long-term marketable securities, representing approximately 85% of our total
assets. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 we earned $1,617,880 in
interest, virtually all of which was from those securities. During the past two
fiscal years a number of the securities we hold were downgraded by Moodys or Standard and Poors indicating a possible increase in
default risk. The credit crisis may have caused or contributed to many of these downgrades.
Conditions and circumstances beyond our control or ability to anticipate can cause downgrades and increases in
default risk. For example, in fiscal 2011 guaranteed global notes issued by BP Capital Markets plc that we hold were downgraded due to the
impact of BPs Macondo subsea well oil spill on BPs financial profile.
Downgrades of any of our marketable securities are possible at any time for reasons beyond our control. Additionally, the assignment of a high credit rating does not preclude the risk
of default on any marketable security. We could incur losses on our marketable securities, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition,
income, or cash flows.
This risk
factor is being updated because of the impact of BPs Macondo subsea well oil spill on BPs financial profile.
