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, 2013. The results of operations for the quarter ended
June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2014.
NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have adopted all applicable recently issued accounting pronouncements.
NOTE 4. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per basic share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common
shares issued and outstanding during each period. Net income per diluted share
amounts assume conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock
instruments (stock options and warrants). Stock options totaling 13,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 and 5,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 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:

The decrease in fair market value of municipal bonds
as of June 30, 2013 compared to March 31, 2013 was primarily due to
the maturation of two municipal bonds. The increase in fair market value of corporate
bonds was primarily due to purchases of corporate bonds during the quarter ended
June 30, 2013.
The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair value of our investments

Gross unrealized losses totaled $617,077 as of June 30,
2013, and were attributed to 10 corporate bonds and three municipal bonds out
of a portfolio of 43 bonds. The gross unrealized losses were due to market-price
decreases and rating downgrades after the bonds were purchased. A substantial
majority of the bonds we held were rated by Moodys or Standard and Poors
and had investment-grade credit ratings.
For each bond 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, the underlying ratings of insured bonds,
and historical default rates for securities of comparable credit rating. One municipal
bond, with a fair market value of $441,804, had been in a continuous unrealized
loss position for 12 months or greater. For this security, we also considered
the severity of the unrealized loss, which was $10,896, or 2.4% of its adjusted
cost. Because we expect to recover the entire cost basis of each 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, 2013.

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
There was no stock-based compensation expense
for the first quarters of fiscal 2014 or 2013.
NOTE 8. INCOME TAXES
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects
of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2013,
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, 2013 we had no accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions.
The tax years 1999 through 2012 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject.
NOTE 9.
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 corporate debt
securities, which are classified as available-for-sale. On the balance sheets,
these securities are included in Marketable securities, short term
and Marketable securities, long term. The fair value of our Level 1
marketable securities was $79,734,874 at June 30, 2013 and $75,298,160 at
March 31, 2013.
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. Our Level 2 financial instruments consist of municipal debt securities,
which are classified as available-for-sale. On the balance sheets, these securities
are included in Marketable securities, short term and Marketable
securities, long term. The fair value of our Level 2 marketable securities
was $5,530,919 at June 30, 2013 and $7,453,126 at March 31, 2013.
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.

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 uncertainties related to the economic
environments in the industries we serve, uncertainties related to direct and indirect
U.S. Government funding, uncertainties relating to future revenue and growth,
risks related to developing marketable products,
uncertainties relating to the revenue potential of new products,
risks in the enforcement of our patents, litigation risks,
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,

Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30,
2013 (the first quarter of fiscal 2014) decreased 17% compared to the quarter
ended June 30, 2012 (the first quarter of fiscal 2013). The decrease was
due to a 15% decrease in product sales and a 53% decrease in contract research
and development revenue.
The decrease in product sales from the prior-year
period was due to decreased purchase volume by existing customers. The decrease
in research and development revenue was due to completion of the majority of activities
on a large contract and a challenging environment for new U.S. Government contract
funding. In addition to direct Government funding, certain of our non-Government
customers and prospective customers depend on Government support to fund their
contracts with us. 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 increased to 78% of revenue
for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 76% for the first quarter of
fiscal 2013, due to a more favorable revenue mix, a more favorable product sales
mix, and more efficient product manufacturing.
Total expenses increased 24% for the first quarter
of fiscal 2014 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2013, primarily due to
a 40% increase in research and development expense. The increase in research and
development expense was due to increased product development activities, and a
decrease in contract research and development activities, which caused resources
to be reallocated to expensed research and development activities. Research and
development expense can fluctuate significantly depending on staffing, project
requirements, and contract research and development activities.
Interest income for the first quarter of fiscal
2014 decreased 6% due to lower interest rates on our marketable securities.
The provision for income taxes was $1,242,377 for
the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $1,621,376 for the first quarter
of fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate was 33% of income before taxes for the
first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to 32% for the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
The 24% decrease in net income in the first quarter
of fiscal 2014 compared to the prior-year quarter was primarily due to decreased
revenues and increased research and development expense, partially offset by increased
gross margin as a percentage of revenue.

Liquidity and capital resources
At June 30, 2013 we had $87,536,736 in cash
plus short-term and long-term marketable securities compared to $85,260,969 at
March 31, 2013. 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 2014 was due to $3,618,683 in net cash
provided by operating activities less a $1,342,916 unrealized loss from marketable
securities.
Income taxes payable increased $1,044,404 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2014 because we had no estimated income tax payments due
in the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
We had no purchases of fixed assets in the first
quarter of fiscal 2014 because an expansion of production space and infrastructure
upgrades were completed in the previous fiscal year. Our capital expenditures
can vary significantly from quater to quarter depending on our needs, equipment
purchasing opportunities, and production expansion activities.
We currently believe our working capital and cash
generated from operations will be 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 securities including 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 or
loss, net of estimated tax. Our marketable securities as of June 30, 2013
had remaining maturities between two and 254 weeks.
Marketable securities had a market value of $85,265,793 at June 30, 2013,
representing approximately 87% 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, 2013, 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 1. Legal Proceedings.
As reported in previous SEC filings, including our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013, on January 3,
2012 we filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Everspin Technologies, Inc.
in the U.S. District Court for the Minnesota District. The lawsuit is based on
Everspins sale of magnetoresistive random access memory, commonly known
as MRAM. The lawsuit seeks an injunction for Everspin to cease using NVEs
patented technology and provide compensation for Everspins past infringement.
On May 24, 2012 Everspin filed an answer denying our allegations and filed
counterclaims. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted requests by Everspin
for inter partes reexaminations of U.S. patent 6,349,053 on May 16,
2012, and of U.S. patent 6,538,921 on September 19, 2012. Both patents are
assigned to us and are patents in suit. On March 8, 2013 the Court ordered
all proceedings in the case stayed until June 28, 2013, and on July 1,
2013 the Court ordered all proceedings in the case stayed until June 30,
2014.
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, 2013.
