Solitron Devices, Inc. (OTCMKTS:SODI) Files An 8-K Results of Operations and Financial ConditionItem 2.02.
On May 31, 2017 Solitron Devices, Inc. (“Solitron” or the “Company”) announced that it expected to take an inventory charge due to excess and obsolescence (“E&O”) and wafer yield loss that would result in year-end inventory being approximately $2.7 million. The Company is announcing that as of July 21, 2017, it believes it has completed its work on allocating the charge to the proper periods. As part of management's review, it has been determined, subject to review by the Company's auditors, that the E&O component of the inventory charge is expected to be approximately $200,000 higher due to a revision in inventory policy to reserve all wafers that are not directly tied to existing orders. In addition, it was determined, subject to review by the Company’s auditors, that an additional charge of approximately $200,000 was necessary for excess raw materials (material in excess of two years average use). Approximately three-fourths of the E&O charge for excess raw materials relates to raw materials purchased prior to calendar year 2014. Management's current estimate of year-end inventory as of February 28, 2017, is approximately $2.3 million.
