Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview of Business
We are primarily a supplier of original designed and manufactured (“ODM”) electronic components (“ODM Components”) with our product offerings ranging from discrete semiconductors through small electronic devices. Our products include value-added engineering and turn-key solutions, focusing on providing contract electronic manufacturers (“CEMs”) and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) with ODM products for their multi-year turn-key projects (“ODM Projects”). We also distribute brand name electronic components with a vast inventory available on hand. We are incorporated in California and were originally formed in 1989. We maintain divisions in Taiwan and China which were established in 1996 and 2005, respectively.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all wholly owned divisions. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature and considered necessary for a fair statement of its financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been included. Operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company operates as a single reportable segment and there have been no changes in the basis of segmentation since the December 31, 2024, Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amount reported as revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, accrued liabilities and deferred income taxes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires the Company to disclose disaggregated jurisdictional and categorical information for the tax rate reconciliation, income taxes paid and other income tax related amounts. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2025, with early adoption permitted. The adoption is expected to enhance the Company’s Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the ASU on its Annual Report.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” which requires the Company to disaggregate key expense categories such as employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization within its financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annuals periods beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2027, and interim periods within the Company’s fiscal year 2028, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU on its Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized at the point at which control of the underlying products are transferred to the customer. Satisfaction of our performance obligations occur upon the transfer of control of products, either from our facilities or directly from suppliers to customers. We consider customer purchase orders to be the contracts with a customer. All revenue is generated from contracts with customers.
In determining the transaction price, we evaluate whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which we expect to receive.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority on revenue-producing transactions are excluded from revenue.
Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are included in cost of products sold.
Based upon the nature of our contracts with customers and our performance obligations within those contracts, we have no contract assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Nature of products
We are primarily a supplier of original designed and manufactured (“ODM”) products that include value-added engineering and turn-key solutions. The following is a description of major products lines from which we generate our revenue:
ODM Projects - Our custom made small devices for original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and contract electronic manufacturers (CEMs) in their multi-year turn-key projects and marketed in specific industries such as: wild animal feeders, timers for DC motors, public street light controllers, and battery chargers.
ODM Components - Our private labeled electronic components.
Distribution Components - Our name brand electronic components.

2 – SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
Short-term investments, consisting principally of marketable U.S. equity securities, are classified as short-term based on the nature of the securities and their availability for use in current operations. Measurement is based on fair value with gains and losses recognized in other income/(expense), net.

In
prior filings the Company accounted for its receivable from preferred share repurchase with Zowie Technology (the “Zowie Repurchase”)
under ASC 321 as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2025, management determined
that the Zowie repurchase represents a contractual receivable rather than an equity security because (i) it is repayable in cash at the
Company’s election and (ii) Zowie’s conversion option is not substantive. The receivable has an annual interest rate of
5 – SHARE BASED COMPENSATION
Accounting
for stock options issued to employees measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments
based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide
service in exchange for the award.

6 – RESTRUCTURING AND SEVERANCE COMPENSATION EXPENSE
Background
The severance payment was based on service accrued under the prior severance policy in effect through June 30, 2025, which was replaced by a revised policy effective July 1, 2025 offering reduced benefits on a prospective-only basis.
Summary of Costs Incurred
As a result of this action, the Company recognized a one-time charge of approximately $
The restructuring charge was fully accrued in accrued restructuring reserve in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets in the second quarter of 2025 and primarily consists of termination benefits, as defined under ASC 420-10, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. The Company expects that the majority of these severance payments will be disbursed in the first quarter of 2026. The restructuring charge is recorded in restructuring and severance expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, appearing in Item 1 of Part 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company. Forward-looking statements usually are denoted by words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “projects,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “will likely result” or similar expressions. We wish to caution readers that all forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and to advise readers that actual results could vary due to a variety of risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
References to “Taitron,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Taitron Components Incorporated and its wholly owned divisions, unless the context otherwise requires.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use of Estimates - Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates have a significant impact on our valuation and reserve accounts relating to the allowance for sales returns, doubtful accounts, inventory reserves and deferred income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognized upon shipment of the products, which is when legal transfer of title occurs and control of the product is transferred to the customer. Reserves for sales allowances and customer returns are established based upon historical experience and our estimates of future returns. Sales returns for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were $0. The allowance for sales returns and doubtful accounts at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 aggregated $7,000.
Inventory – Inventory, consisting principally of products held for resale, is recorded at the lower of cost (determined using the first in-first out method) and net realizable value. We had inventory balances in the amount of $2,182,000 and $2,949,000 at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is presented net of valuation allowances of $5,161,000 and $5,152,000, respectively. We evaluate inventories to identify excess, high-cost, slow-moving or other factors rendering inventories as unmarketable at normal profit margins. Due to the large number of transactions and the complexity of managing and maintaining a large inventory of product offerings, estimates are made regarding adjustments to the cost of inventories. If our assumptions about future demand change, or market conditions are less favorable than those projected, additional write-downs of inventories may be required. In any case, actual amounts could be different from those estimated.
Deferred Taxes – If determined that it is more likely than not that we will not realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, we record a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets, which allowance will be charged to income tax expense in the period of such determination. We also consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies and future taxable income in assessing if deferred tax assets could be realized. We also consider the weight of both positive and negative evidence in determining whether a valuation allowance is needed.

Overview
We are primarily focused on supplying ODM products for our OEM customer’s multi-year turn-key projects. We also distribute discrete semiconductors, commodity Integrated Circuits (ICs), optoelectronic devices and passive components to other electronic distributors, CEMs and OEMs, who incorporate them in their products.
Our core strategy has shifted to primarily focus on higher margin ODM Projects that require custom products designed for specific applications to OEM customers, and away from actively marketing our superstore strategy of maintaining a vast quantity of electronic components to fill customer orders immediately from available stock held in inventory. As a result, we expect our components inventory will be more passively marketed and distributed online for clearance through our internet sales portal, however at potentially lower rates due to the pricing pressures normally attributed with online shopping.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, we have classified inventory as a current asset in our June 30, 2025, condensed consolidated financial statements representing approximately 17% of current assets and 13% of total assets. However, if all or a substantial portion of the inventory was required to be immediately liquidated, the inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included or classified as a current asset, such as cash. We cannot assure you that demand in the discrete semiconductor market will increase and that market conditions will improve. Therefore, it is possible that further declines in our carrying values of inventory may result.
Our gross profit margins are subject to a number of factors, including product demand, provisions for inventory reserves, our ability to purchase inventory at favorable prices, our sales product mix, the imposition of tariffs, import and export controls, changes in governmental policies and the relative strength of the U.S. dollar.
Results of Operations
Significant Risks and Uncertainties
See the Risk Factors included in our Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the additional Risk Factor included in Part II—Item 1A of this quarterly report.
Second quarter of 2025 versus 2024.
Net sales in the second quarter of 2025 totaled $1,167,000 versus $1,224,000 in the comparable period for 2024, a decrease of $57,000 or 4.7% over the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease of ODM components sales volume.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $717,000 versus $662,000 in the comparable period for 2024, and gross margin percentage of net sales was 61.4% in the second quarter of 2025 versus 54.1% in the comparable period for 2024. The approximately 7.3% gross margin percentage increase was driven by selling higher margin products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2025 totaled $575,000 versus $583,000 in the comparable period for 2024.
Restructuring expenses of $1,680,000 was driven by one-time severance compensation payments (see Note 6 – Restructuring and Severance Compensation Expense).
Other income, net, in the second quarter of 2025 was $1,159,000 versus $257,000 in the comparable period for 2024. Other income was primarily $727,000 from short-term investments and $426,000 from the recovery of excess tariff refunds.
Income tax provision was $2,000 for the second quarter of 2025 versus $7,000 in the comparable period for 2024.
Net loss was $327,000 for the second quarter of 2025 versus income of $406,000 in the comparable period for 2024, a decrease of $733,000 resulting from the reasons discussed above.
10
Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2024.
Net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $2,249,000 versus $2,187,000 in the comparable period for 2024, an increase of $62,000 or 2.8% over the same period last year. The increase was driven by an increase of ODM project and ODM components sales volume.
Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $1,342,000 versus $1,158,000 in the comparable period for 2024, and gross margin percentage of net sales was approximately 59.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 52.9% for 2024, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2025 totaled $1,135,000 versus $1,153,000 in the comparable period for 2024.
Restructuring expenses of $1,680,000 was driven by one-time severance compensation payments (see Note 6 – Restructuring and Severance Compensation Expense).
Other income, net, in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $764,000 versus $813,000 in the comparable period for 2024. Other income was primarily $321,000 from short-term investments and $426,000 from the recovery of excess tariff refunds.
Income tax provision was $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus $15,000 in the comparable period for 2024.
Net loss was $613,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus net income of $958,000 in the comparable period for 2024, a decrease of $1,680,000 resulting from the reasons discussed above (see Note 6 – Restructuring and Severance Compensation Expense).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We historically have satisfied our liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations, short-term commercial loans, subordinated related party promissory notes and issuance of equity securities.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were $202,000 as opposed to ($342,000) used for in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase of $544,000 in cash flows provided by operations compared with the prior period resulted from changes in operating assets and liabilities, primarily from accounts payable, inventory and restructuring expenses of $1,579,000 (see Note 6 – Restructuring and Severance Compensation Expense).
Cash flows used for investing activities were ($8,000) and ($228,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Cash flows used for financing activities were $602,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
We believe that funds generated from operations, existing cash balances, short term investments and, if necessary, related party short-term loans, are likely to be sufficient to finance our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future. If these funds are not sufficient, we may secure new sources of asset-based lending on accounts receivables or issue debt or equity securities. Otherwise, we may need to liquidate assets to generate the necessary working capital.

Inventory is included and classified as a current asset. As of June 30, 2025, inventory represented approximately 17% of current assets and 13% of total assets. However, it is likely to take over one (1) year for the inventory to turn and therefore is likely not saleable within this time frame. Hence, inventory would not be as readily marketable or liquid as other items included in current assets, such as cash.
On June 30, 2025, the Board of Directors approved a modification of our dividend policy effectively reducing quarterly installment amounts by 30%. Under our modified policy, we will target a cash dividend to our stockholders in the amount of $0.14 per share per annum, payable in equal $0.035 per share quarterly installments. Dividend declarations and the establishment of record and payment dates for such dividend payments, if any, remain subject to the Board of Directors’ continuing determination that the dividend policy is in the best interests of our stockholders. The dividend policy may be suspended or cancelled at the discretion of the Board of Directors at any time.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are likely to have, a current or future material effect on our operations other than our outstanding commitments to purchase inventory (see Item 1 - Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. - Not applicable.
