GENERAL INFORMATION</b><a name="GeneralInfo"></a></font></div>
<font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:5pt;">&nbsp;<br>
</font> <font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This
Proxy Statement is furnished to shareholders of NVE Corporation, a Minnesota corporation
(&#147;NVE&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), in connection with the solicitation
of proxies by our Board of Directors for use at our Annual Meeting of shareholders
to be held on Thursday, August&nbsp;3, 2017 at 3:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time
at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott, 11552 Leona Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota,
55344, and at any adjournment or postponements of the meeting (the &#147;2017
Annual Meeting&#148;), for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form
of Proxy were first mailed or made accessible to our shareholders on the Internet
on or about June&nbsp;19, 2017.<br>
<br>
<b>Annual Meeting Admission</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proof of ownership (such as a recent brokerage statement
or letter from your broker) and a form of photo identification are required for
admission to the 2017 Annual Meeting.<br>
<br>
<b>&#147;Householding&#148; of Documents</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are sending only one Letter to Shareholders,
Annual Report on <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Form 10-K</font>, Proxy Statement,
and Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to eligible shareholders
who share a single address unless we received instructions to the contrary from
any shareholder at that address. This practice, known as &#147;householding,&#148;
is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. If registered shareholders
residing at addresses with other registered shareholders wish to receive separate
annual reports, proxy statements, or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy
Materials in the future, they may contact Curt&nbsp;A.&nbsp;Reynders, our Secretary,
at telephone number (952)&nbsp;829-9217, or by mail to the address at the top
of this page. You can also request delivery of single copies of our documents
if you are receiving multiple copies.<br>
<br>
<b>Other Matters and Proposals of Shareholders</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Board is not aware that any matter other than
those described in this Proxy Statement will be presented for action at the 2017
Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters do properly come before the 2017 Annual
Meeting, the persons named in our vote form intend to vote the proxied shares
in accordance with their best judgment on those matters. If any matters properly
come before the shareholders at our 2017 Annual Meeting, but we did not receive
notice of it prior to May&nbsp;7, 2017, the persons named in our vote form for
the 2017 Annual Meeting will have the discretion to vote the proxied shares on
such matters in accordance with their best judgment.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented
at the 2017 Annual Meeting must have been received by our Secretary at our executive
offices in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, no later than February<font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;19,
2017 for</font> inclusion in our proxy statement
and proxy relating to that annual meeting. Proposals must be in accordance with
the provisions of <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Rule 14a-8</font> promulgated
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. We suggest the proposal be submitted by certified mail with return receipt
requested. On receiving any such proposal, we will determine whether or not to
include it in our proxy statement and proxy in accordance with the regulations
governing the solicitation of proxies. Shareholders who intend to present a proposal
at the 2017 Annual Meeting without including such proposal in our proxy statement
must provide us with notice of such proposal no later than May&nbsp;7, 2017. We
reserve the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action
with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable
requirements.<br>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" STYLE="font-size:10pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Only
shareholders of record at the close of business on June&nbsp;9, 2017 are entitled
to execute proxies or to vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting. As of that date there
were outstanding 4,841,010 shares of our common stock, $0.01 par value per share
(&#147;Common Stock&#148;). Each holder of Common
Stock is entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held with respect
to the matters mentioned in this Proxy Statement and any other matters that may
properly come before the 2017 Annual Meeting. A majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock entitled to vote are required to constitute a quorum at the 2017
Annual Meeting. In accordance with Minnesota law, the affirmative vote of a plurality
of the voting power of the Common Stock present, in person or by proxy, and entitled
to vote at the 2017 Annual Meeting, is required to approve Proposal&nbsp;1. If
there is not a quorum at the 2017 Annual Meeting, our Bylaws specify that each
director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected and until his
successor shall be elected and qualified. The affirmative vote of a majority of
the voting power is required to approve Proposals 2 and 4. Proxies indicating
abstention from a vote and broker non-votes will be counted toward determining
whether a quorum is present at the 2017 Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will
not be counted toward determining whether a proposal has been approved.<br>

<b>Solicitation and Revocability of Proxies</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We will pay the costs and expenses of solicitation
of proxies. In addition to the use of the mails, proxies may be solicited by our
directors, officers, and regular employees personally or by telephone, but these
people will not be specifically compensated for those services.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Proxies are solicited on behalf of the Board of
Directors. Any shareholder giving a proxy in such form may revoke it either by
submitting a new vote form or by completing a ballot at the meeting at any time
before it is exercised. Such proxies, if received in time for voting and not revoked,
will be voted at the 2017 Annual Meeting in accordance with the specification
indicated thereon. If no specification is indicated on a proxy, such proxy will
be voted in favor of Proposals&nbsp;1, 2,&nbsp;and&nbsp;4 described in this proxy
statement. Persons who hold shares through a broker or other intermediary should
consult that party for the procedures to be used for revoking a vote.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Board currently consists of five directors,

Dr.&nbsp;Baker. We have had separate Chairman and CEO roles since 2001, when Dr.
Baker became CEO and Mr. Glarner was elected chairman. We currently believe that
separating these roles enhances the accountability of the CEO to the board and
strengthens the board&#146;s independence from management. According to our bylaws,
the CEO&#146;s responsibilities include general active management and presiding
at meetings of the Board and of the shareholders. Our bylaws do not specify the
Chairman&#146;s duties, but our practice has been for the Chairman to provide
Board oversight, approve board meeting schedules and agendas, preside over independent
director meetings, and serve as liaison between the CEO and independent directors.
<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Board oversees management in identifying, prioritizing,
and assessing a range of financial, operational, and business risks, and formulating
plans to mitigate risks. Our Board considers risks when considering plans and
discussing management reports, and our Audit Committee considers risks including
those related to our internal controls over financial reporting and risks related
to our investments. The Audit Committee meets with our independent registered
public accounting firm without the CEO, CFO, or other company management present
at least quarterly. We currently believe that our relatively small Board with
primarily independent directors and an independent Chairman supports our Board&#146;s
oversight of risk management, and that such a board can communicate better, be
more involved, and act more quickly than a larger board.<br>
<br>
<b>Board Independence</b><a name="BoardIndep"></a> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has determined that each of our directors
and director candidates, except Dr.&nbsp;Baker, are independent as defined under Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and NASDAQ
Listing <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Rule 5605(a)(2)</font>. In making this
determination, the Board has concluded that none of these members has a relationship
that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Furthermore, each
of our directors has disclosed that they have no agreements or arrangements with
any person or entity other than the Company, relating to compensation or other
payment in connection with such person&#146;s candidacy or service as a director
(so-called &#147;golden leashes,&#148; as defined under NASDAQ Rule 5250(b)(3)).<br>
<br>
<b>CEO Succession Planning</b><A NAME="Succession"></A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;At least annually, the Board reviews a formal succession
plan addressing the policies and principles for selecting a successor to the CEO
and key executive officers, either in an emergency situation or the ordinary course
of business. The succession plan includes an assessment of the experience, performance,
skills, and planned career paths for possible successors.<BR>
<BR>
<b>Meeting Attendance and Executive Sessions of Independent Directors</b><a name="ExecSessions"></a>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board met five times in fiscal 2017 (fiscal
years referred to in this document end March&nbsp;31), and each director attended
at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and of the committees on which they
serve. As a matter of policy, the independent directors meet without the CEO or
other company management present at every regular board meeting.<br>
<br>
<b>Board Committees</b><a name="Committees"></a> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board has three standing committees: the Audit,
Compensation, and Nominating/Corporate Governance committees, each of which is
comprised solely of independent directors. Each committee is governed by a written
charter, all of which are available through the &#147;Investors&#148; section
of our Website (www.nve.com). The committees review and assess the adequacy of
their charters annually.<br>

&nbsp;<BR>
<b><i>Audit Committee</i></b> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee currently consists of three
independent directors: Ms.&nbsp;Hollister, Mr.&nbsp;Glarner, and Mr.&nbsp;Maharaj.
Our Board has determined that each member meets the criteria of &#147;audit committee
financial experts&#148; as that term is defined under <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Regulation
S-K</font> Item&nbsp;407, and that they are financially sophisticated under NASDAQ
Listing <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Rule 5605(c)(2)(A)</font>. The Audit
Committee met four times in fiscal 2017. The primary responsibilities of the Audit
Committee are to appoint, compensate, and oversee our auditors. The Audit Committee
was also involved in the selection of Grant Thornton&#146;s lead engagement partner.
The Report of the Audit Committee, including a description of the functions of
the Committee, is included in this Proxy Statement. The Audit Committee charter
is available on our website at http://www.nve.com/GovernanceLinks/auditcharter.htm.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
<b><i>Compensation Committee</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee currently consists of
Mr.&nbsp;Glarner, Ms.&nbsp;Hollister, and Mr.&nbsp;Kramp, and met once in fiscal
2017. Our Board has determined that each member or proposed member of the Compensation
Committee are &#147;independent&#148; as defined under NASDAQ Listing <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Rule
5605(d)(2)(A).</font> The Compensation Committee charter prohibits members from
accepting directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory
fee from the Company. Compensatory fees do not include fees received as a member
of the Board or any board committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and sets
compensation guidelines for executive officers and other senior management, and
the composition and levels of participation in incentive compensation and fringe
benefits for all employees. The Compensation Committee also oversees administration
of our 2000 Stock Option Plan, as amended. The Compensation Committee charter
is available on our website at http://www.nve.com/GovernanceLinks/compcharter.htm.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
<b><i>Compensation Committee Interlocks</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No member or proposed member of the Compensation
Committee is or has been an officer of NVE. We have no compensation committee
interlocks&#151;that is, none of our officers serves as a director or a compensation
committee member of a company that has an officer or former officer serving on
our Board or Compensation Committee.<br>
<br>
<b><i>Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee</i></b> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee currently
consists of all our independent directors: Mr.&nbsp;Glarner, Ms.&nbsp;Hollister,
Mr.&nbsp;Kramp, and Mr.&nbsp;Maharaj. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
met five times in fiscal 2017. The Committee&#146;s functions include selection
of candidates for our Board, select members of various committees, and address
corporate governance matters. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee charter
is available on our website at http://www.nve.com/GovernanceLinks/ngccharter.htm.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our process for identifying and evaluating candidates
to be nominated to the Board starts with an evaluation of a candidate by the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee and CEO. Candidates can be forwarded to the Committee by
members of our Board or our CEO. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
recommends to the Board the slate of directors to serve as management&#146;s nominees
for election by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The Committee will also
consider candidates recommended by shareholders. To date we have not engaged any
third party to assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.<br>
<br>
<B>Audit Committee Report</B><A NAME="AC-Rpt"></A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In connection with the financial statements for
the fiscal year ended March&nbsp;31, 2017, the Audit Committee has reviewed and
discussed the audited financial statements and the effectiveness of internal control
over financial reporting with management and Grant Thornton. Grant Thornton represented
that its presentations to the Audit Committee included the matters required to
be discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm by applicable
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) rules regarding &#147;Communication
with Audit Committees.&#148; Grant Thornton also provided the Audit Committee
the letter and written disclosures required by Auditing Standard No.&nbsp;16,
<i>Communications with Audit Committees</i>, and the Audit Committee discussed
with Grant Thornton the firm&#146;s independence. Based on these reviews and discussions,
the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company&#146;s audited financial
statements be included in our Annual Report on <FONT STYLE="white-space: nowrap;">Form
10-K</FONT> for the year ended March&nbsp;31, 2017 filed with the SEC. The Board
approved this inclusion.<br>

<b>Director Qualifications</b><a name="DirectorQualifications"></a><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In evaluating candidates, the Board will require
that candidates possess, at a minimum, a desire to serve on the Company&#146;s
Board, an ability to contribute to the effectiveness of the Board, an understanding
of the function of the board of a public company and relevant industry knowledge
and experience. In addition, while not required of any one candidate, the Board
would consider favorably industry experience, expertise in business or financial
matters, and prior experience serving on the management or boards of publicly
traded companies. In evaluating any candidate for director nominee, the Board
will also evaluate the contribution of the proposed nominee toward compliance
with NASDAQ Stock Market corporate governance requirements concerning board composition.<br>
<br>
<b>The Role of Diversity in Choosing Board Candidates</b><a name="Diversity"></a>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our goal is to identify the best-qualified director
nominees and neither our Board or our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee
have policies requiring the consideration of diversity in identifying nominees.
All of our directors and director nominees have extensive experience as either
directors or senior managers of publicly traded companies. We believe that our
directors&#146; experience, independence, diversity in educational backgrounds,
and diversity in industry experience contribute to diversity of thought and to
an effective Board. Our Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color,
national origin, gender, religion, disability, or sexual preference in selecting
director candidates.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
<B>Shareholder Nominees</B><A NAME="ShareholderNominees"></A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholder proposals for nominations to the Board
should be submitted to the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee at our offices,
11409 Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota,&nbsp;55344. To be considered
by the Board for nomination at the next succeeding annual meeting, nominations
must be delivered not less than 90&nbsp;days nor more than 120&nbsp;days prior
to the first anniversary of the mailing of the notice of the preceding year&#146;s
annual meeting. Shareholders&#146; proposals must provide the following information
for each nominee: (i)&nbsp;the name, age, business address, and residence address
of the person; (ii)&nbsp;the principal occupation or employment of the person;
(iii)&nbsp;the number of shares of our stock owned by the person; (iv)&nbsp;the
written and acknowledged statement of the person that such person is willing to
serve as a director; and (v)&nbsp;any other information relating to the person
that would be required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies for election
of directors pursuant to Regulation&nbsp;14A under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, if the candidate had been nominated by or on behalf of the
Board.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Candidates recommended by shareholders will be considered
under the same standards as candidates that are identified by the Nominating/Corporate
Governance Committee. No shareholders submitted director nomination proposals
in connection with this year&#146;s Annual Meeting.<BR>
&nbsp;<br>
<b>Shareholder Communications With the Board and Director Attendance at Annual
Meetings</b><a name="Comm-w-BOD"></a> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Shareholders and others who wish to communicate
with our Board as a whole or any individual director, may write to them at our
offices, 11409&nbsp;Valley View Road, Eden Prairie, Minnesota, 55344. The Secretary
will forward any such written communication to the Board, or if indicated, to
a specified individual member of the Board, unless the written communication is
(i)&nbsp;a personal or similar grievance, a shareholder proposal or related communication,
an abusive or inappropriate communication or a communication not related to the
responsibilities or duties of the Board, in which case the Secretary has the authority
to discard the communication or to take appropriate legal action regarding the
communication; or (ii)&nbsp;a request for information about the company, a stock-related
matter or any other matter that does not appear to require direct attention by
the Board or any individual director, in which case the Secretary will attempt
to handle the inquiry or request directly. All such communications will be kept
confidential to the extent possible.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance
by members of the Board at our annual meetings of shareholders, but we encourage
our directors to attend. All of our directors except Mr.&nbsp;Kramp attended our
2016 Annual Meeting.<BR>
<B>&nbsp;<BR>
Code of Ethics</B><A NAME="Ethics"></A><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
that applies to all of our employees and directors, including our principal executive
officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer. A copy
of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available from the &#147;Investors&#148;
section of our Website (www.nve.com).<br>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We intend to post on our Website any amendment to,
or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies
to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and other employees
performing similar functions within four business days following the date of such
amendment or waiver.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our non-employee directors receive cash compensation
of $2,000 per quarter, plus an additional $250 per quarter for the Chairman of
the Board of Directors and an additional $125 per quarter for the Audit Committee
Chair. Directors forfeit unpaid portions of cash compensation upon termination,
retirement, disability, or death. In addition to the cash compensation, on each
reelection to the Board each non-employee director is automatically granted an
immediately vested nonqualified option to purchase 1,000 shares.<BR>

our shareholders voted in favor of an advisory vote regarding the compensation
of our Named Executive Officers (&#147;NEOs&#148;) every year. Following that

with the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders have had the opportunity

</font><font face="Times New Roman" style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SEC
rules require shareholders have the opportunity to vote every six calendar years
on the frequency of advisory votes on the compensation of our NEOs, similar to
Proposal&nbsp;2 this year. Since the last such vote was in 2011, shareholders
have the opportunity this year to vote on the frequency of advisory votes. Shareholders
may indicate whether they would prefer that the advisory vote to occur every one,
two, or three years. Shareholders may also abstain from voting.
Although the vote is non-binding, the Board will consider the outcome in deciding
the frequency of executive compensation advisory votes.<br>
<br>
<b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board unanimously recommends a say-on-pay
vote every year</b>. In formulating this recommendation, the Board considered
accountability to shareholders and the recommendations of corporate governance

have four executive officers. Daniel&nbsp;A. Baker is our principal executive
officer and Curt&nbsp;A. Reynders is our principal financial officer. Dr.&nbsp;Baker&#146;s
biographical information can be found under &#147;Proposal&nbsp;1. Election of
Board of Directors.&#148; Biographical information for our other executive officers
is as follows:<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><i>Curt A. Reynders</i></b>, age&nbsp;54, has
been NVE&#146;s Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer since 2006. From 2001 until
his promotion to CFO, Mr.&nbsp;Reynders was our controller. Before joining NVE
he served in various accounting, auditing, and accounting management positions
with public accounting and industry firms. Mr.&nbsp;Reynders earned a B.S. in
Accounting and Economics from Morningside College.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><i>Peter G. Eames</i></b>, age&nbsp;41, was promoted
to Vice President of Advanced Technology from Director of Advanced Technology
in fiscal 2017. He has been an NVE employee in various capacities since 2003 when
he completed his Ph.D. in experimental condensed matter physics from the University
of Minnesota.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b><i>Timothy R. Hazelton</i></b>, age&nbsp;52,
has been Vice President of Sales since January 2017. He was a senior product manager
at Sensonix Incorporated from 2014 until accepting his current position at NVE.
Prior to joining Sensonix, Mr. Hazelton was previously an NVE employee in various
capacities from 1996 to 2014. He has a BSEE from the University of Minnesota.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Hazelton is not considered an NEO and his compensation
information is therefore not included herein because he was employed for only
a portion of fiscal 2017 and consequently his total compensation for fiscal 2017
did not exceed $100,000.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The principal components of compensation for our
CEO and CFO are salary and performance-based compensation based on the Company&#146;s
income from operations. The Compensation Committee believes that such performance-based
compensation incentivizes profitable growth. The principal component of compensation
for Vice President of Advanced Technology Dr.&nbsp;Eames is salary. <br>

<b>Pay for Performance</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The chart below shows CEO and CFO compensation history
and the total shareholder return on our Common Stock for the past five fiscal
years. Total shareholder return assumes $100 was invested on March&nbsp;31, 2012
in our Common Stock with reinvestment of dividends. Although our CEO and CFO total
compensation is not directly based on the performance of our Common Stock, it
is dependent on financial performance metrics that we expect to drive shareholder
value.<BR>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CEO Dr. Baker&#146;s compensation for the most recent
fiscal year consisted primarily of base salary of $290,545 and incentive plan
compensation of $82,300. CFO Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; total compensation consisted
of base salary of $174,327 and incentive compensation of $25,243. Compensation
for Dr. Baker and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders increased in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal
2016 because the company&#146;s income from operations increased. Both Dr. Baker&#146;s
and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; total compensation decreased significantly in fiscal
2016 compared to fiscal 2015 because income from operations decreased.<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee believes it would be
difficult to achieve performance that would result in CEO compensation comparable
to public companies with comparable revenues or market capitalization. No stock
options have been granted to NEOs in the past three fiscal years. All of our employees, including our NEOs, are employees
at will, and we have the right to terminate employees at any time, with or without
cause.<br>

</B></DIV>
<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" STYLE="font-size:5pt;">&nbsp;<BR>
</FONT><B>Compensation Philosophy and Objectives</B><A NAME="CompPhilosophy"></A>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our overall philosophy is that compensation levels
should be adequate to retain highly qualified personnel but not be unreasonable
or excessive. In determining annual compensation for senior managers, we consider
the manager&#146;s position, performance, productivity, recent compensation history,
experience, and education. We also take into account whether an employee has options
or accumulated wealth from options. The Compensation Committee took into consideration
our shareholder say-on-pay vote at our 2016 Annual Meeting and will continue to
consider the outcome of say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions
for our NEOs.<BR>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We consider the full range of pay components, including,
but not limited to, the desired mix of equity, salary, and performance-based compensation.
Performance-based compensation should support goals of profitable growth and improving
long-term shareholder value. We consider whether any risks might be created by
our compensation polices and practices. At our 2016 Annual Meeting, our shareholders
voted for approval of our named executive officer compensation. Although the vote
was not binding on the Board, the Compensation Committee took the vote into account
in NEO compensation decisions. Our significant compensation and practices and
trends are summarized as follows.<BR>
&nbsp;<BR>
<B><I>Performance-Based Compensation</I></B><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Certain of our senior managers sometimes have the
opportunity to receive performance-based cash compensation. The Compensation Committee
does not set compensation targets, but believes that performance-based compensation
is appropriate for those managers if it incentivizes profitable growth, supports
our ultimate objective of improving shareholder value, and does not create high
pay opportunities relative to comparable companies. The Compensation Committee
establishes performance-based compensation criteria at the start of the fiscal
year, and has discretion to increase such compensation. The Compensation Committee
also has discretion to award bonuses not tied to specific criteria. No such bonuses
have been paid to an NEO in the past three fiscal years.<br>
<BR>
<b><i>Low Burn Rate and Overhang</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Beginning in fiscal 2006, when accounting pronouncements
required us to recognize expenses associated with the issuance of options, we
have reduced our use of stock options to compensate our NEOs and other employees.
No stock options were granted to our NEOs in the past three fiscal years. For
fiscal 2017, our &#147;burn rate&#148; was 0.08%, and our three-year average burn
rate from fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2017 was also 0.08%. This was entirely due
to options granted to our directors on their election or reelection to our Board.
We define burn rate as the number of equity awards granted in the year divided
by the undiluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
year. This measures the potential dilutive effect of annual equity grants.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We define &#147;overhang&#148; as equity awards
(options and warrants) outstanding but not exercised, divided by total common
shares outstanding. Our overhang as of March&nbsp;31, 2017 was 0.4%. Including
equity awards available to be granted but not granted, our overhang was 3.4%,
but since 2006 we have used only a small portion of authorized option shares.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe our burn rate and overhang are low in
relation to other companies in our industry and reflect a judicious use of equity
for compensation.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
<b><i>&#147;No Perks&#148; Policy</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our senior managers have not received any significant
benefits that are not offered to all employees. We offer fringe benefits to all
employees, including paid vacations, holidays, 401(k) retirement plans, tuition
reimbursement, health insurance, Health Savings Accounts, life insurance, dental
insurance, and long-term disability insurance. We believe these benefits help
attract and retain employees throughout the Company. The costs of certain of these
fringe benefits for our NEOs (see Note 3 to the Summary Compensation Table) are
provided as &#147;All&nbsp;Other Compensation&#148; in the Summary Compensation
Table.<br>
<br>
<b><i>No Change in Control Severance Agreements</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have not entered into change of control severance
agreements with NEOs or any other employees.<br>
&nbsp;<br>

<i>Named Executive Officers&#146; Salary</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NEOs and other employees receive base salaries to
compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Salary levels are
typically considered annually as part of our performance review process as well
as with promotions or other changes in responsibility. Any changes in our NEOs&#146;
base salaries are typically effective at the April&nbsp;1 start of the fiscal
year.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For fiscal 2017, Dr.&nbsp;Baker&#146;s base salary
was $290,545, Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; salary was $174,327, and Dr.&nbsp;Eames&#146; salary
was $150,000. Dr.&nbsp;Baker&#146;s base salary increased 3.25% to $300,000 for
fiscal 2018, and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; salary also increased 3.25%, to $180,000,
and Dr.&nbsp;Eames&#146; salary increased 5.5% to $158,250.<br>
<br>
<A NAME="peer"></A><b>Peer Companies and Relative Performance</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Compensation Committee reviewed performance
relative to the following peer group of companies in assessing company and NEO
performance for 2017: Clearfield, Inc.; CyberOptics Corp.; Electro-Sensors, Inc.;
GSI Technology, Inc.; IntriCon Corporation; MoSys, Inc.; MTS Systems Corporation;
Pixelworks, Inc.; Quicklogic Corporation; and Rudolph Technologies, Inc. The Committee
approved the group after reviewing potential peer companies including the peer
companies identified by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) in its Proxy
Analysis and Benchmark Policy Voting Recommendations for our 2016 Annual Meeting.
Inclusion criteria included comparability of business profile, served markets,
revenue, number of employees, and market capitalization. The chart below shows
two metrics reported by ISS, pretax net margin and return on equity, of the seven
profitable constituents of the ten-member peer group:<br>
&nbsp;
<div align="center"><img src="peers.gif" width="460" height="217" alt="Peer Metrics"></div>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NVE&#146;s return on equity is near the median of
the peer group, and our pretax net margin is more than twice that of any company
in the peer group. We believe profitability metrics such as pretax net margin
are more appropriate for our company than calculations of return such as return
on equity because our strong balance sheet distorts such metrics. <br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Committee does not rely on peer company compensation
data, but does review competitive compensation situationally and reviews trend
information such as salary and wage data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Based on such reviews and experience of the Compensation Committee members, the
Committee believes the salaries paid both Dr.&nbsp;Baker and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders
are lower than comparable positions at public companies with comparable revenues
or market capitalization, and that reliance on equity and performance-based compensation
provides motivation to facilitate profitable growth and ultimately increase shareholder
value.<br>

<b><i>CEO Performance-Based Compensation</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee does not set compensation
targets, but believes that the performance criteria set a high standard, and that
it would be difficult to achieve performance that would result in CEO compensation
comparable to public companies with comparable revenues or market capitalization
and performance. For fiscal 2017, performance-based incentive compensation was
28% of Dr.&nbsp;Baker&#146;s salary, compared to 14% of salary in fiscal 2016.
Dr. Baker&#146;s performance-based compensation was based on performance criteria
set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year, specifically
0.25% of income from operations in fiscal 2017 plus 3% of the increase in income
from operations in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal 2016. Dr. Baker&#146;s performance-based
compensation had a threshold of positive operating income, meaning no incentive
would be paid without income from operations.<br>
<br>
<b><i>CFO Performance-Based Compensation</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; performance-based compensation
for fiscal 2017 was based on 0.1% of income from operations in fiscal 2017 plus
0.6% of the increase in income from operations in fiscal 2017 compared to fiscal
2016. Mr.&nbsp;Reynders&#146; performance-based compensation had a threshold positive
operating income, meaning no incentive would be paid without income from operations.
The performance-based compensation criteria were set at the beginning of the fiscal
year by the Compensation Committee. The Committee believes that Mr. Reynders&#146;
performance criteria set a high standard of performance, and that it would be
difficult to achieve performance that would result in CFO compensation comparable
to public companies with comparable revenues or market capitalization.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
&nbsp;<b>The Role of Named Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions</b><a name="RoleOfNEOs"></a>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee makes all compensation
decisions for the CEO and his staff, including the NEOs. The Compensation Committee
is also responsible for any equity awards to any employee. The CEO annually reviews
the performance of each member of his staff. The conclusions reached and recommendations
based on these reviews, including salary adjustments and performance-based compensation,
if any, are presented to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
has discretion to change any of the CEO&#146;s recommendations. NEOs are not present
during deliberations or voting regarding their own compensation.<br>
<br>
<b>Tax Implications of Option Awards<a name="CompTax"></a><br>
<i>Tax Implications of Incentive Stock Option Compensation</i></b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Options we award to employees are generally incentive
stock options as defined under federal income tax laws. For alternative minimum
tax purposes incentive stock options are treated as nonstatutory stock options.
Employees realize no taxable income and we are not entitled to a deduction at
the time an incentive stock option is granted. If certain statutory employment
and holding period conditions are satisfied before the employee disposes of shares
acquired from the exercise, no taxable income results from the exercise and we
are not entitled to any deduction. If the statutory holding periods are met, any
gain or loss realized by the employee is treated as a capital gain or loss and
we are not entitled to a deduction.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Except in the event of death, if shares acquired
by an employee on the exercise of an incentive stock option are disposed of by
the employee before the expiration of the statutory holding periods (a &#147;disqualifying
disposition&#148;), the employee is considered to have realized as compensation,
taxable as ordinary income in the year of disposition, an amount, not exceeding
the gain realized on such disposition, equal to the difference between the exercise
price and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. We are
entitled to a deduction at the same time and for the same amount as the employee&#146;s
deemed realized ordinary income. Any gain or loss in excess of the amount treated
as compensation is treated as a capital gain or loss. If the employee pays the
option price with shares that were originally acquired pursuant to the exercise
of an incentive stock option and the statutory holding periods for such shares
are not met, the payment shares are considered a disqualifying disposition.<br>
<br>
<i><b>Tax Implications of Nonstatutory Stock Option Compensation</b></i><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Options awarded to non-employee directors are generally
nonstatutory stock options. The director realizes no taxable income, and we are
not entitled to a deduction at the time a nonstatutory stock option is granted.
At the time shares are transferred to the director on exercise of a nonstatutory
stock option, the director realizes ordinary income, and we are entitled to a
deduction equal to the excess of the fair market value of the stock on the date
of exercise over the option price. On disposition of the shares, any additional
gain or loss realized by the director is taxed as a capital gain or loss.<br>

<b>Employment Agreements</b><a name="EmplAgmts"></a><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have an employment agreement with Dr.&nbsp;Baker
that set his initial salary and contains non-competition, confidentiality, and
assignment of invention provisions benefiting the Company. The agreement may be
terminated by either Dr.&nbsp;Baker or us on thirty days written notice. In addition,
we may terminate Dr.&nbsp;Baker&#146;s employment for cause or upon his death
or incapacity. We have an agreement with Mr.&nbsp;Reynders relating to non-competition,
confidentiality, and assignment of invention provisions benefiting the Company.<br>
<br>
<b>Post-Employment Compensation</b><a name="PostEmploymentComp"></a> <br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our NEOs receive no pension benefits, nonqualified
deferred compensation, or other post-employment potential payments. Our NEOs are
eligible to participate in our <font style="white-space: nowrap;">401(k)</font>
retirement plan under the same terms as other employees.<br>
<br>
<b>Setting Named Executive Officers&#146; Compensation<a name="NEOComp"></a></b>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have no pre-established policy or target for
the allocation between salary and performance-based compensation. The Compensation
Committee does not use a comparison with a specific compensation peer group because
we do not believe there are public companies of comparable size devoted substantially
to all of the same markets in which we compete.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee Committee charter provides
that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of
a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser. The Committee has not
employed such advisers because it does not believe it is a necessary use of company
resources, and we believe members of our Compensation Committee, by virtue of
experience in compensation management and service on other boards, have reasonable
knowledge of compensation practices.<br>
<br>
<b>Compensation Clawbacks<A NAME="Clawbacks"></A></B><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in
the event of misconduct that results in a financial restatement that would have
reduced a previously paid incentive amount, we can recoup those improper payments
from our CEO and CFO in what are commonly called &#147;clawbacks.&#148; We also
plan to implement a clawback policy in accordance with Section&nbsp;954 of the
Dodd-Frank Act after the SEC or the NASDAQ issues guidance related to such policies.<br>
<br>
<b>Fiscal 2017 Named Executive Officer Compensation</b><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017, the principal
components of compensation for NEOs were salary, plus and performance-based compensation
for Dr.&nbsp;Baker and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders.<br>

POLICIES AND PRACTICES AS THEY RELATE TO RISK MANAGEMENT</B></div>
</font><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" STYLE="font-size:5pt;">&nbsp;<BR>
</FONT><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times New Roman;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based
on a review by our management and our Compensation Committee, we have determined
that we have no employee compensation policies or practices that create risks
that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. Dr.&nbsp;Baker
and Mr.&nbsp;Reynders hold significant company stock or stock options. Such meaningful
ownership in company provides incentives to avoid excessive risks. Other risk-mitigating
factors include operational oversight by management and compensation committee,
frequent business reviews, and an appropriately balanced pay mix between fixed
and variable pay.<br>

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM</b></div>
<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" STYLE="font-size:5pt;">&nbsp;<BR>
</FONT> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our Audit Committee has selected Grant Thornton
LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial
statements for fiscal 2017 and recommends that shareholders ratify the selection.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Grant Thornton audited our financial statements
from fiscal 2014 through fiscal 2017. At our 2016 Annual Meeting, shareholders
ratified the selection of Grant Thornton. Shareholder ratification of our independent
registered public accounting firm is not required by our Articles of Incorporation,
but our Board is submitting the selection for ratification as a matter of good
corporate practice. We expect representatives of Grant&nbsp;Thornton to be at
our 2017 Annual Meeting and they will have the opportunity to make a statement
if they wish. We also expect them to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
If our shareholders fail to ratify the selection Grant Thornton, our Audit Committee
will reconsider its engagement. Even if the selection is ratified, the Committee
in its discretion may direct the selection of different independent auditors at
any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our company&#146;s
and shareholders&#146; best interests.<br>
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<b>The Board unanimously recommends a vote FOR the
ratification of the selection of Grant Thornton LLP.</b><br>

Public Accounting Firm During Fiscal 2017 and 2016<BR>
<I>Audit Fees</I></B><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We incurred total fees from Grant Thornton of $115,000
relating to the audit of the March&nbsp;31, 2017 financial statements, review
of the financial statements included in fiscal 2017 quarterly reports on <font style="white-space: nowrap;">Form
10-Q</FONT>, and other matters directly relating to the fiscal 2017 audit. Fees
were $103,400 relating to the audit of the March&nbsp;31, 2016 financial statements.<BR>
<BR>
<B><I>Tax, Audit-Related, and All Other Fees</I></B><BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fees billed to us by to Grant Thornton relating
to tax return preparation and other tax compliance matters were $10,375 in fiscal
2017 and $11,094 in fiscal 2016. We did not incur any fees for audit-related services
in fiscal 2017 or 2016, and no other fees for services were billed to us by Grant
Thornton during fiscal 2017 or 2016.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
<B>Audit Committee Independence and Preapproval Policy</B><A NAME="Preapproval"></A>
<BR>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To ensure that our independent registered public
accounting firm is engaged only to provide audit and non-audit services that are
compatible with maintaining its independence, the Audit Committee has a policy
that requires the Committee to review and approve all services to be provided
by our accounting firm before the firm is engaged to provide those services. The
Committee considers non-audit services and fees when assessing auditor independence,
and determined that tax return preparation and other tax compliance services is
compatible with maintaining our accounting firm&#146;s independence. To date Grant
Thornton has not performed any other audit-related or non-audit services. If it
becomes necessary to engage the independent auditor for additional services not
contemplated in the original preapproval, the Company will obtain the specific
preapproval of the Committee before engaging the auditor. The preapproval policy
requires the Audit Committee to be informed of each service performed by the auditor,
and the policy does not include any delegation of the Committee&#146;s responsibilities
to management. The Audit Committee may delegate preapproval authority to one or
more of its members. The member with such delegated authority will report any
preapprovals to the entire Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit
Committee approved all fees paid to our accounting firms described in the sections
above.<br>
