Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosures of contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates relate to useful lives of fixed and intangible assets, allowances for doubtful accounts and customer returns and sales allowances. Such estimates could also relate to the net realizable value of inventory, accrued liabilities, the valuation of stock-based awards, deferred tax valuation allowances, and other reserves. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-period amounts to conform to current-period reporting classifications. The carrying value of assets held for sale related to the planned disposition of the Company’s AMTC Facility were reclassified from Property, plant and equipment, net to Assets held for sale in fiscal year 2021. Impairment of long-lived assets related to the Company’s Thailand-based facility (the “AMTC Facility”). The AMTC facility was reported separately in the consolidated financial statements during fiscal year 2021.
Business Segment Information
The Company operates in one segment which involves the design, development, production and distribution of various integrated circuits in various markets worldwide. The Company has a single, company-wide management team that administers all properties as a whole rather than as discrete operating segments. The chief operating decision maker, who is the Company’s chief executive officer, measures financial performance as a single enterprise and not on legal entity or end market basis. Throughout the year, the chief operating decision maker allocates capital resources on a project-by-project basis across the Company’s entire asset base to maximize profitability without regard to legal entity or end market basis. The
Company operates in a number of countries throughout the world in a variety of product lines through its business unit structure.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. Dollar. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated from local currency into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate at the balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, and the average exchange rate in effect during the period for net sales and expenses. The functional currency for the Company’s international subsidiaries is considered to be the local currency for each entity and, accordingly, translation adjustments for these entities are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Non-Controlling Interest
The Company, through one of its wholly owned subsidiaries, established an affiliated entity in Philippines for the primary purpose of purchasing, selling, leasing, developing and otherwise managing real estate acquired by the Company in the Philippines. The Company owns 40% of the equity interest in this entity and the remaining 60% is held in a trust for the benefit of its employee retirement fund. The portion of the results of operations of this entity is shown as net income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2021 and 2020. Additionally, the cumulative portion of the results of operations of this entity along with the interest in the net assets is shown as a component of non-controlling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. At March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, the Company maintained investments in an interest-bearing cash account. Because of the investment’s short term to maturity and the investment’s relative price insensitivity to changes in market interest rates, the Company notes that cost approximates fair value for this investment. As a result, there were no realized or unrealized gains or losses for the fiscal years ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020. The Company has restricted cash, the use of which is restricted to the benefit of employees through a deferred compensation program.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Certain assets and liabilities are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (at exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, which are provided below:
Level 1    — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
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. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or examination.
The categorization of a financial instrument within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at fair values as determined according to the fair value hierarchy described above (see Note 5, “Fair Value Measurements”). The carrying value of accounts receivable, assets held for sale, notes receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The carrying value of outstanding borrowings under the line of credit agreements approximates fair value as it bears interest at a rate approximating a market interest rate.
Related party note receivable was classified as held-for-investment based on management’s intent and ability to hold the loan for the foreseeable future or to maturity. Loans held-for investment are carried at amortized cost and reduced by a valuation allowance for estimated credit losses, as necessary. The Company recognizes interest income on loans, including the amortization of discounts and premiums, loan fees paid and received, using the interest method. The interest method is applied on a loan-by-loan basis when collectability of the future payments is reasonably assured. Premiums and discounts are recognized as yield adjustments over the term of the related loans.
A detailed description of fair value measurement of the assets of the non-U.S. defined benefit plan is included in Note 14, “Retirement Plans”.
Trade accounts receivable, net
A receivable is a right to consideration that is unconditional (i.e., only the passage of time is required before payment is due). Accounts receivables are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is an estimate of amounts that may not be collectible.
The Company manages the collectability of accounts receivable primarily through its review of the accounts receivable aging. When facts and circumstances dictate the collection of a specific invoice amount or the balance relating to a customer is in doubt, the Company assesses the impact on amounts recorded for doubtful accounts and, if necessary, records a charge in the fiscal period that such assessment is determined. Adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Account balances are written off after all means of collection are exhausted and the potential for non-recovery is determined to be probable.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company records inventory provisions when conditions exist that suggest that inventory may be in excess of anticipated demand, is obsolete based upon expected future demand for products and market conditions, or quality related rejections. These provisions are reported as a reduction to raw materials and supplies, work in process and finished goods. The Company regularly evaluates the ability to realize the value of inventory based on a combination of factors, including historical usage rates, forecasted sales or usage, and product end of life dates. Assumptions used in determining management’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be incorrect, in which case the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory would have to be adjusted in the future. Although the Company performs a detailed review of its forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand could have a significant impact on the value of the Company’s inventory and reported operating results.
Assets Held for Sale
The Company classifies assets as held for sale when all of the following are met: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the assets; (ii) the assets are available for immediate sale in their present condition; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated; (iv) it is probable that a sale will occur within one year; (v) the assets are being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to their current fair value; and (vi) it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. If all held for sale criteria are met, the assets are reclassified and presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets as assets held for sale at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value, less cost to sell, and no longer depreciated or amortized.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the AMTC Facility in connection with its previously announced back-end facility consolidation plan. The AMTC Facility met the criteria to be classified as held for sale, and the Company was required to record these assets at the lower of carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell based on the agreed-upon sales price. The sale of the AMTC Facility is expected to close within the calendar year, subject to government approvals in Thailand and customary closing conditions.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company capitalizes certain legal, professional accounting and other third-party fees that are directly associated with in-process equity financings as deferred offering costs until such financings are consummated. After consummation of the equity financing, these costs are recorded in stockholders’ equity as a reduction of the additional paid-in capital generated as a result of the offering. As of March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, the Company had no deferred offering costs.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net, including improvements that significantly add to productive capacity or extend useful life, are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company capitalizes interest on certain projects with long-term construction periods. Maintenance and repairs expenditures are charged to expense as incurred. Estimated useful lives of the respective property, plant and equipment assets are as follows:

AssetUseful Life
Buildings
31 years
Building improvementsEconomic life of the building improvements
Leasehold improvementsThe shorter of the remaining term of the lease or estimated useful life
Machinery and equipment
3-10 years
Office equipment
3 years
Intangible assets, net
Intangible assets, net primarily consist of capitalized costs to acquire and defend patent and trademark related awards. In addition, the Company holds technology, customer relationships, and non-compete agreements. The Company’s intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to ten years.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, finite-lived intangibles, such as patents and customer relationships and indefinite-lived intangible assets such as process technology and trademarks.
Property, plant and equipment and finite-lived assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. Factors that the Company considers in deciding when to perform an impairment review include significant underperformance of the business in relation to expectations, significant negative industry or economic trends and significant changes or planned changes in the use of the assets. If an impairment review is performed to evaluate a long-lived asset group for recoverability, the Company compares forecasts of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the long-lived asset group to its carrying value. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset group are less than its carrying amount. If such assets are not impaired, but their useful lives have decreased, the remaining net book value is amortized over the revised useful life.
Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The Company has elected the first business day of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year as the annual impairment testing date. The results of the annual impairment test did not indicate any impairments of indefinite-lived intangible assets for fiscal years 2021 and 2020.
The Company considered the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and concluded that there was a triggering event during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. As a result, management performed an impairment evaluation of its long-lived asset balances as of March 27, 2020. This did not lead to the Company recording an impairment charge at that time. The full extent to which COVID-19 will impact the Company’s results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the virus and the actions to contain or treat its impact.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company initiated a process to conclude its operations at the AMTC facility with the intention of selling the AMTC Facility. On March 3, 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its AMTC facility for approximately $30,000 before fees and expenses. As a result of the execution of the definitive agreement, the Company reclassified the AMTC assets within its “Property, plant and equipment, net” to “Assets held for sale” and incurred an impairment charge to the book value of those assets of $7,119 in its fiscal fourth quarter ended March 26, 2021.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis on the first business day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. Events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, current economic and market conditions, including a decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, business climate, operational performance of the business or key personnel, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company has determined that there is one reporting unit for purposes of testing goodwill for impairment.
In testing goodwill for impairment, the Company has the option to first consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Such qualitative factors include industry and market considerations, economic conditions, entity-specific financial performance and other events, such as changes in management, strategy and primary customer base. If based on the Company’s qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, quantitative impairment testing is required. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, quantitative impairment testing is not required. The results of the Company’s qualitative goodwill impairment test performed on the first business day of fourth quarter for fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020 did not indicate any impairments.
Product Warranties
The Company provides warranties on its products to its customers, generally for one year from the date of shipment and in limited cases for longer periods. In the event of a failure of a product covered by these warranties, the Company must repair or replace the product or, if those remedies are insufficient, and at the discretion of the Company, provide a refund. In limited cases, the Company warrants its products to include significant liability beyond the cost of repairing or replacing the product or refunding the sales price of the product. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the warranty reserve and adjusts the amount as necessary. If there is a material increase in the rate of customer claims, or the Company’s estimates of probable losses relating to specifically identified warranty exposures are inaccurate, the Company may need to record a charge against future cost of goods sold. There were minimal costs accrued in the fiscal years ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020.
Deferred Rent
The Company records rent expense on a straight-line basis using a constant periodic rate over the term of its lease agreements. The excess of the cumulative rent expense incurred over the cumulative amounts due under the lease agreements is deferred and recognized over the term of the leases. Leasehold improvement reimbursements from landlords are recorded as deferred rent and amortized as reductions to lease expense over the lease term.
Revenue Recognition
Effective March 30, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09” or “ASC 606”) using the modified retrospective method. ASC 606 superseded the guidance of Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) formerly followed by the Company. The adoption of ASC 606 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company expects the new standard to be immaterial to net income on an ongoing basis.
Under the guidance of ASC 606, revenue is recognized when transfer of control to the customer occurs in an amount reflecting the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled. In order to achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step approach:
(1) Identify the contract with a customer—The Company considers customer purchase orders, which in some cases are governed by master agreements, to be customer contracts. A contract exists when it is approved by both parties, each party’s rights and obligations are identified, payment terms are known, customer has the ability and intent to pay and the contract has commercial substance. The Company uses judgement in determining the customer’s ability and intent to pay, which is based on factors such as the customer’s historical payment experience or, for new customers, credit and financial information pertaining to the customers.
(2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract—Performance obligations are identified as products and services that will be transferred to the customer that are both capable of being distinct, whereby the customer can benefit from the product or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available from third parties or from the Company, and are distinct in the context of the contract, whereby the transfer of the products or services is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Substantially, all of the Company’s contracts with customers contain single performance obligation, such as the sale of mixed-signal integrated circuit products or the sale of wafer fabricators.
(3) Determine the transaction price—The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring products to the customer. Variable consideration is included in the transaction price if, in the Company’s judgment, it is probable that no significant future reversal of cumulative revenue under the contract will occur.
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract—If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligations based on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”).
(5) Recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied—Revenue is recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer (i.e., when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied), which typically occurs point in time at shipment.
Sales channels
The Company sells products globally through its direct sales force, third party distributors, independent sales representatives and consignment. The Company records revenue based on the amount of any discounted arrangement fee. When the Company transacts with a distributor, its contractual arrangement is with the distributor and not with the end customer. Whether the Company transacts business with and receives the order from a distributor or directly from an end customer, its revenue recognition policy and resulting pattern of revenue recognition for the order are the same.
The Company also uses independent sales representatives to assist in the sales process with certain customers. Sales representatives are not distributors. If a sales representative is engaged in the sales process, the Company receives the order directly from and sells the products directly to the end customer. The Company pays a commission to the sales representative, calculated as a percentage of the related customer payment. Sales representatives commissions are recorded as expenses when incurred and are classified as sales and marketing expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
For the consignment arrangements with distributors, delivery occurs and revenue is recognized when the distributor pulls product from consignment inventory that it is stored at designated distributor locations. Recognition is not contingent upon resale of the products to the distributors’ customers. Until the products are pulled for use or sale by the distributor, the Company retains control over the products’ disposition, including the right to pull back or relocate the products.
Variable consideration
Variable consideration includes sales in which the amount of consideration that the Company will receive is unknown as of the end of a reporting period. Such consideration primarily includes limited price protection provisions provided to distributors, sales under agreements that allow rights of return, referred to as stock rotation, provided to distributors, discounts and credits provided to distributors and returns provisions offered to direct customers. The Company estimates potential future returns, credits and sales allowances based on historical data from prior sales returns and credits issued and changes in product sales to customers.
Practical expedients elected
The Company elected certain practical expedients with the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard. Revenue recognized is adjusted based on allowances, which are prepared on a portfolio basis using a most likely amount methodology. The length of time between revenue recognition and payment is not significant under any of the Company’s payment terms. However, if the period between revenue recognition and when the customer pays is one year or less, the Company elected not to account for the significant financing component.
Other Revenue Recognition Policies
Prior to the end of fiscal year 2020, the Company acted as a distributor of Sanken products in North America, South America and Europe. The Company evaluated whether it is acting as the principal (i.e., report net sales on a gross basis) or agent (i.e. report net sales on a net basis) in these transactions. In doing so, the Company evaluated whether it controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer. If the Company controls the good or service before it is transferred to the customer, it is acting as principal in the transaction. Generally, the Company controls the promised products before transferring the products to the customer and act as the principal to the transaction, therefore the Company recognizes net sales gross.
Shipping and handling activities are not considered a contract performance obligation. The Company records shipping and handling costs billed to customers as revenue with offsetting costs recorded as cost of sale.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
Contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) are reported net at the contract level for each reporting period. Contract assets typically result from contracts when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer, and right to payment is not just subject to the passage of time. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable when the rights become unconditional. The Company had no contract assets at March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020.
Contract Liabilities (Deferred Revenue)—Deferred revenue typically results from billings in excess of revenues recognized and relate to products shipped near the end of the reporting period for which the required revenue recognition criteria were not met. The Company had no contract liabilities at March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020.
Contract costs
Following the Company’s adoption of ASC 606, certain costs, such as cost to obtain a contract or cost to fulfill a contract are required to be capitalized. The Company has immaterial contract costs, as such, no amounts were capitalized at March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation costs for all stock-based compensation awards made to employees based upon the awards’ grant-date fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of stock-based compensation awards granted using a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the awards. Stock-based compensation expense is recognized evenly over the vesting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Determining the fair value of the stock-based compensation awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the expected life of the stock awards and the volatility of the underlying market-based and projected future cash flow assumptions. Any changes to those estimates that the Company makes from time to time may have a significant impact on the stock-based compensation expense recorded and could materially impact the Company’s results of operations.
Pension Obligations
The Company, through its subsidiaries, has various foreign defined benefit plans as well as U.S. defined contribution plans. Accredited independent actuaries calculate related plan assets, liabilities and expenses. The Company is required to make certain assumptions to assign value to the plan assets and liabilities. These assumptions are reviewed annually, based on current plan information and consultations with independent investment advisors and actuaries. The selection of assumptions requires a high degree of judgment and may materially change from period to period. The Company does not offer other defined benefits associated with postretirement benefit plans other than pensions.
The Company recognizes the funded status of a benefit plan on its consolidated balance sheets and recognizes gains, losses and prior service cost or credits that arise during the period that are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax. In addition, the Company measures defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end consolidated balance sheets and discloses in the notes to the consolidated financial statements the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits and transition asset or obligation.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities, as measured by enacted tax rates anticipated to be in effect when these differences are expected to reverse. This method also requires the recognition of future tax benefits to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent it believes, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, a valuation allowance is established.
The Company recognizes a liability for potential payments of taxes to various tax authorities related to uncertain tax positions and other tax matters. The recorded liability is based on a determination of whether and how much of a tax benefit taken by the Company in its tax filings or positions is “more likely than not” to be realized. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. To the extent that the assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company establishes a liability, which is included in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These liabilities are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite the Company’s belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable. The recorded liability is adjusted considering changes in the facts and circumstances. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of the recorded liability and changes thereto.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax provision in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included in accrued income taxes in the consolidated balance sheets.
Except for our AMTC Facility, all undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested. Accordingly, the Company does not provide for U.S. income taxes on such undistributed earnings.
Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed, as incurred, as a component of sales expense. Advertising expense was $331 and $273 in fiscal years 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Net Income Per Share
The Company computes net income per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income per share is computed similarly to basic net income per share, except that it includes the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised. Information about potentially dilutive and antidilutive shares for the reporting period is provided in Note 16, “Net Income per Share.”
As the Company maintained two classes of Common stock (Class A and Class L) in fiscal year 2020, earnings per basic and diluted shares were calculated under the two-class method. The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each participating security according to dividends declared on undistributed earnings for the period. Earnings per diluted share is computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effect of any potential common shares outstanding during the period using the more dilutive of the two-class method or another dilutive method. For the fiscal years ended March 27, 2020, the Company did not allocate income to the Class L shares in accordance with ASC 260, because such classes of shares would not have shared in the distribution had all of the income for the periods been distributed. Accordingly, earnings per share calculations were provided only for the class A shares.
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, which management believes to be of a high credit quality. To manage credit risk related to accounts receivables, the
Company evaluates its creditworthiness of its customers and maintains allowances, to the extend necessary, for potential credit losses based upon the aging of its accounts receivable balances and known collection issues. The Company has not experienced any significant credit losses to date.
As of March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, Sanken accounted for 22.7% and 33.8% of the Company’s outstanding trade accounts receivable, net, respectively, including related party trade accounts receivable. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of outstanding trade accounts receivable, net as of such dates.
For the fiscal years ended March 26, 2021 and March 27, 2020, Sanken accounted for 17.7% and 28.4% of total net sales, respectively. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total net sales for any of these periods.
During the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021, sales from customers located outside of the United States in the aggregate accounted for 86.1% of the Company’s total net sales, with Japan accounting for 17.7%, Greater China accounting for 26.6% and South Korea accounting for 10.5%. No other countries accounted for greater than 10.0% of total net sales for the fiscal year ended March 26, 2021.
During the fiscal year ended March 27, 2020, sales from customers located outside of the United States accounted in the aggregate for 81.7% of the Company’s total net sales, with Japan accounting for 28.4% and Greater China accounting for 18.7%. No other countries accounted for greater than 10.0% of total net sales for the fiscal year ended March 27, 2020.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company qualifies as “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and has elected to “opt in” to the extended transition related to complying with new or revised accounting standards, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public and nonpublic companies, the Company will adopt the new or revised standard at the time nonpublic companies adopt the new or revised standard and will do so until such time that the Company either (i) irrevocably elects to “opt out” of such extended transition period or (ii) no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company. The Company may choose to early adopt any new or revised accounting standards whenever such early adoption is permitted for nonpublic companies.
In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”), which modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, regarding transfers between levels of financial instruments, amounts of unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive (loss) income for Level 3 fair value measurements and the information used to determine the fair value of Level 3 fair value measurements. The Company adopted the disclosure requirements of this standard update on December 26, 2020 and determined that there was no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans” (“ASU 2018-14”), which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other post-retirement plans. The Company adopted ASU 2018-14 retrospectively on December 26, 2020 and determined that the disclosure requirements had no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocations and deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments and adds guidance on whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination or a separate transaction. The Company adopted this standard update on December 26, 2020 and determined that there was no material impact to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, “Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)” (“ASU 2020-01”), which addresses accounting for the transition into and out of the equity method and provides clarification of the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The Company adopted this standard update on December 26, 2020 and determined that there was no material impact to its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting” (“ASU 2020-04”) to provide temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the contract modifications, hedge relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if
certain criteria are met. This ASU, which was effective for all entities upon issuance on March 12, 2020 and may be applied through December 31, 2022, is applicable to all contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or any other reference rate expected to be discontinued. The Company has assessed the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 and determined that the standard update would have no material impact to its consolidated financial statements due to the Company’s option to use an alternative rate other than LIBOR on its senior secured credit facilities. The utilization of another allowable interest rate would be commensurate with LIBOR and would not preclude the need to modify or cancel its current financing arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued its new lease accounting guidance in ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). Topic 842 and all subsequent amendments requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases, with the exception of short-term leases if an accounting policy election is made, at the lease commencement date: a lease liability, which is the lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Lease expense is recognized in the income statement in a manner similar to current U.S. GAAP. Lessees will no longer be provided with a source of off-balance sheet financing. The new lease standard also requires entities to disclose key quantitative and qualitative information about its leasing arrangements.
The Company will adopt the new lease standard on March 27, 2021 using the optional transition method to the modified retrospective approach. Under this transition provision, the Company will not apply the new lease standard to comparative periods presented or provide the incremental disclosure requirements for periods before the Company’s adoption of Topic 842. The Company has identified and evaluated its lease population, including leases embedded within service arrangement, and is currently finalizing business processes and controls to support the ongoing recognition and disclosure requirements after adoption. The Company has also implemented a new software to manage the lease portfolio and perform the accounting required under Topic 842. The Company does not expect the adoption of the new lease standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. However, the Company expects that the adoption of the new lease standard will result in the recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities between $16.6 million and $20.6 million as of March 27, 2021.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which adds an impairment model (known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity by decreasing the number of credit impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. ASU 2016-03, along with its subsequent clarifications, was effective for public companies beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating the new guidance and the expected effect on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10 delaying the effective date for all entities. For public entities, this guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For nonpublic entities, this guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years.
