2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

Our fiscal quarter ends on the Saturday nearest the end of the quarter-ending month. The second quarter of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 both contained 13 weeks. The first six months of fiscal 2022 and fiscal 2021 both contained 26 weeks.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim periods have been made. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted

pursuant to such rules and regulations. The results of our operations for the three months and six months ended November 27, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending May 28, 2022.

The financial information contained in this report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2021, which was filed on August 2, 2021.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Inventories, net: Our consolidated inventories were stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, generally using a weighted-average cost method. Our net inventories include approximately $61.4 million of finished goods, $5.5 million of raw materials and $3.8 million of work-in-progress as of November 27, 2021, as compared to approximately $57.0 million of finished goods, $3.9 million of raw materials and $2.6 million of work-in-progress as of May 29, 2021.

At this time, we do not anticipate any material risks or uncertainties related to possible future inventory write-downs. Provisions for obsolete or slow-moving inventories are recorded based upon regular analysis of stock rotation privileges, obsolescence, the exiting of certain markets and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If future demand changes in the industry, or market conditions differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions may be necessary. Inventory reserves were approximately $5.9 million as of November 27, 2021 and $5.9 million as of May 29, 2021.

Revenue Recognition: The Company has a number of defined revenue streams across our reportable segments. Distribution is the Company’s largest revenue stream. The distribution business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold on top of the product. Distribution typically includes products purchased from our suppliers, stocked in our warehouses and then sold to our customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods is transferred to our customers, which is simultaneous with the title transferring to the customer, in an amount that reflects the transaction price consideration that we expect to receive in exchange for those goods. Control refers to the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of, the remaining benefits from the goods. Our transaction price consideration is fixed, unless otherwise disclosed below as variable consideration. Generally, our contracts require our customers to pay for goods after we deliver products to them. Terms are generally on open account, payable net 30 days in North America, and vary throughout Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America subject to customary credit checks.

The Company also sells products that are manufactured or assembled in our manufacturing facility. These products can either be built to the customer’s prints/designs or are products that we stock in our warehouse to sell to any customer that places an order. The manufacturing business does not include a separate service bundled with the product sold or sold in addition to the product.

The Company recognizes services revenue when the repair, installation or training is performed. The services we provide are relatively short in duration and typically completed in one or two weeks. Therefore, at each reporting date, the amount of unbilled work is insignificant. The services revenue has consistently accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s total revenues and is expected to continue at that level.

We also record discounts taken and estimate returns based on historical experience. Our products are often manufactured to meet the specific design needs of our customers’ applications. Our engineers work closely with customers to ensure that our products will meet their needs. Our customers are under no obligation to compensate us for designing the products we sell.

Contracts with customers

A revenue contract exists once a customer purchase order is received, reviewed and accepted. Prior to accepting a customer purchase order, we review the credit worthiness of the customer. Purchase orders are deemed to meet the collectability criterion once the customer’s credit is approved.

Contract Liabilities: Contract liabilities and revenue recognized were as follows (in thousands):

Revenue

November 27, 2021

Contract liabilities (deferred revenue)

3,313

3,401

(2,904

)

3,810

The Company receives advance payments or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized resulting in contract liabilities. Contract liabilities are included in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Performance obligations and satisfaction of performance obligation in the contract

Each accepted purchase order identifies a distinct good or service as the performance obligation. The goods are generally standard products we purchased from a supplier and stocked on our shelves. They can also be customized products purchased from a supplier or products that are customized or have value added to them in house prior to shipping to the customer. Our contracts for customized products generally include termination provisions if a customer cancels its order. However, we recognize revenue at a point in time because the termination provisions do not require, upon cancelation, the customer to pay fees that are commensurate with the work performed. Each purchase order explicitly states the goods or service that we promise to transfer to the customer. The promises to the customer are limited only to those goods or service. The performance obligation is our promise to deliver both goods

that were produced by the Company and resale of goods that we purchase from our suppliers. Our shipping and handling activities for destination shipments are performed prior to the customer obtaining control. As such, they are not a separate promised service. For shipping point, the Company is making the election under ASC 606-10-25-18B to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer the goods. The goods we provide to our customers are distinct in that our customers benefit from the goods we sell them through use in their own processes. Our customers are generally not resellers, but rather businesses that incorporate our products into their processes from which they generate an economic benefit. The goods are also distinct in that each item sold to the customer is clearly identified on both the purchase order and resulting invoice. Each product we sell benefits the customer independently of the other products. Each item on each purchase order from the customer can be used by the customer unrelated to any other products we provide to the customer.

Determine the transaction price and variable consideration

The transaction price for each product is the amount invoiced to the customer. Each product on a purchase order is a separate performance obligation with an observable standalone selling price. The transaction price is a fixed price per unit, except for the variable consideration. The Company elects to exclude sales tax from the transaction price.

Recognize revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation

We recognize revenue at a point in time when title transfers to the customer, at the shipping point for FOB shipping contracts and at the customer’s delivery location for FOB destination contracts. We believe that the transfer of title best represents when the customer obtains control of the goods. Prior to that date, we do not have right to payment, and the significant risks and rewards remain with us. The significant risks and rewards of ownership of the inventory transfer simultaneously with the transfer of title. The customer’s acceptance of the goods is based on objective measurements, not subjective.

Additional considerations

Sale with right of return:

Our return policy is available to customers in our terms and conditions found on our website www.rell.com. The policy varies by business unit. The Company allows returns with prior written authorization and we allow returns within ten days of shipment for replacement parts.

The Company maintains a reserve for returns based on historical trends that covers all contracts and revenue streams using the expected value method because we have a large number of contracts with similar characteristics, which is considered variable consideration. The reserve for returns creates a refund liability on our balance sheet as a contra Trade Accounts Receivable as well as an asset in inventory. We value the inventory at cost due to there being minimal or no costs to the Company as we generally require the customer to pay freight and we typically do not have costs associated with activities such as relabeling or repackaging.

The reserve is considered immaterial at each balance sheet date for further consideration. Returns for defective product are typically covered by our suppliers’ warranty, thus, returns for defective product are not factored into our reserve.

Warranties:

We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. For further information regarding the impact of warranties see the Warranties discussion elsewhere in Note 3.

Principal versus agent considerations:

Principal versus agent guidance was considered for customized products that are provided by our suppliers versus manufactured by the Company. The Company acts as the principal as we are responsible for satisfying the performance obligation. We have primary responsibility for fulfilling the contract, we have inventory risk prior to delivery to our customer, we establish prices, our consideration is not in the form of a commission and we bear the credit risk. The Company recognizes revenue in the gross amount of consideration.

See Note 7, Segment Reporting, for a disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment and geographic region, which represents how our chief operating decision maker reviews information internally to evaluate our financial performance and to make resource allocation and other decisions for the Company.

Loss Contingencies: We accrue a liability for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. If we determine that there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred, we will include a disclosure describing the contingency.

Intangible Assets: Intangible assets are initially recorded at their fair market values determined by quoted market prices in active markets, if available, or recognized valuation models. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives either on a straight-line basis or over their projected future cash flows and are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. Our intangible assets represent the fair value for trade name, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology acquired in connection with the acquisitions. Intangible assets subject to amortization were as follows (in thousands):

	November 27, 2021		May 29, 2021
Gross Amounts:
Trade Name	$	659	$	659
Customer Relationships⁽¹⁾		3,408		3,426
Non-compete Agreements		177		177
Technology		230		230
Total Gross Amounts	$	4,474	$	4,492

Accumulated Amortization:

2024		232
2025		219
2026		185
Thereafter		1,131
Total amortization	$	2,139

The weighted average number of years of amortization expense remaining is 12.5 years.

Income Taxes: We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and determine the need for a valuation allowance based on a number of factors, including both positive and negative evidence. These factors include historical taxable income or loss, projected future taxable income or loss, the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and the implementation of tax planning strategies. In circumstances where we, or any of our affiliates, have incurred three years of cumulative losses which constitute significant negative evidence, positive evidence of equal or greater significance is needed to overcome the negative evidence before a tax benefit is recognized for deductible temporary differences and loss carryforwards.

Accrued Liabilities: Accrued liabilities consisted of the following (in thousands):

	November 27, 2021		May 29, 2021
Compensation and payroll taxes	$	4,212	$	4,945
Accrued severance		689		685
Professional fees		677		533
Deferred revenue		3,810		3,313
Other accrued expenses		6,023		4,706
Accrued Liabilities	$	15,411	$	14,182

Warranties: We offer warranties for the limited number of specific products we manufacture. Our warranty terms generally range from one to three years.

We estimate the cost to perform under the warranty obligation and recognize this estimated cost at the time of the related product sale. We record expense related to our warranty obligations as cost of sales in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Each quarter, we assess actual warranty costs incurred on a product-by-product basis and compare the warranty costs to our estimated warranty obligation. With respect to new products, estimates are based generally on knowledge of the products and warranty experience, if a sufficient history exists.

Warranty reserves are established for costs that are expected to be incurred after the sale and delivery of products under warranty. Warranty reserves are included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The warranty reserves are determined based on known product failures, historical experience and other available evidence. Warranty reserves were approximately $0.6 million as of November 27, 2021 and $0.5 million as of May 29, 2021.

4. LEASE OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

The Company leases real and personal property in the normal course of business under various operating leases and financing leases. The Company has two types of operating leases: leases for facility space and leases for automobiles. Most of the leased facility space is for sales and general office use. Automobile leases are used throughout the Company. The financing lease is for our computer servers.

5. INCOME TAXES

We recorded an income tax provision of $0.7 million and $0.2 million for the first six months of fiscal 2022 and the first six months of fiscal 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the first six months of fiscal 2022 was a tax provision of 9.6% as compared to a tax provision of (63.0%) during the first six months of fiscal 2021. The difference in rate during the first six months of fiscal 2022 as compared to the first six months of fiscal 2021 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss) and state income tax provision due to temporary suspension of net operating loss utilization in Illinois and California. The 9.6% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss), the movement of the valuation allowance against our U.S. state and federal net deferred tax assets and state income tax provision due to temporary suspension of net operating loss utilization in Illinois and California.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. Generally, years prior to fiscal 2015 are closed for examination under the statute of limitation for U.S. federal, U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. We are currently under examination in Thailand (fiscal 2008 through 2011) and Germany (fiscal 2015 through 2018). Our primary foreign tax jurisdictions are Germany and the Netherlands. We have tax years open in Germany beginning in fiscal 2015 and the Netherlands beginning in fiscal 2018.

We have historically determined that certain undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries, to the extent of cash available, will be repatriated to the U.S. The deferred tax liability on the outside basis difference is now primarily withholding tax on future dividend distributions. We have provided a deferred tax liability of less than $0.1 million as of both November 27, 2021 and as of May 29, 2021.

As of November 27, 2021 and as of May 29, 2021, our worldwide liability for uncertain tax positions related to continuing operations was $0.1 million, excluding interest and penalties. We record penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions in the income tax expense line item within the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets that will more likely than not be realized was $10.4 million as of November 27, 2021. The valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets was $12.2 million as of May 29, 2021 and the Company is utilizing prior losses in the first two quarters of fiscal 2022 against its income. A full valuation allowance on the U.S. and state deferred tax assets will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence related to sources of future taxable income exists to support a reversal of the valuation allowance. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased, or if objective negative evidence in the form of cumulative losses is no longer present and additional weight may be given to subjective evidence such as our projections for growth.

6. CALCULATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have authorized 17,000,000 shares of common stock and 3,000,000 shares of Class B common stock. The Class B common stock has 10 votes per share and has transferability restrictions; however, Class B common stock may be converted into common stock on a share-for-share basis at any time. With respect to dividends and distributions, shares of common stock and Class B common stock rank equally and have the same rights, except that Class B common stock cash dividends are limited to 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.

Our Class B common stock is considered a participating security requiring the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share. The two-class computation method for each period reflects the cash dividends paid per share for each class of stock, plus the amount of allocated undistributed earnings per share computed using the participation percentage which reflects the dividend rights of each class of stock. Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed using the two-class method. The shares of Class B common stock are considered to be participating convertible securities since the shares of Class B common stock are convertible on a share-for-share basis into shares of common stock and may participate in dividends with common stock according to a predetermined formula which is 90% of the amount of common stock cash dividends.

The earnings per share (“EPS”) presented in our unaudited consolidated statements of comprehensive income were based on the following amounts (in thousands, except per share amounts):

8. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Company Response to COVID-19

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Thereafter, most U.S. states imposed “shelter in place” or similar directives on their populations to stem the spread of COVID-19 and similar restrictive measures were taken by governments across the world.

During their duration, the shelter in place directives generally required the closure of businesses that did not provide essential functions. The Company was considered a critical supplier of products to healthcare and critical infrastructure businesses. Further, several of our largest customers mandated that we continue to supply parts so as not to disrupt the supply chain and their ability to serve critical industries. As such, the Company qualified as an “Essential Business” and the Company continued our manufacturing and distribution operations throughout the implementation of the various “shelter in place” or other restrictions placing limits on operations in our fiscal 2021 and beyond. Our top priority was ensuring the health and safety of our employees and, accordingly, we undertook measures such as limiting the number of people in any one of our facilities by requiring only employees who could not perform their work remotely to physically work in a Company US-based facility. The Company advised all other employees that could perform their job functions remotely to do so. As such, the Company’s operations have remained operational during the pandemic.

The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects continue to evolve. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic, and the steps taken to prevent and/or mitigate its spread, will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity and future results of operations is uncertain. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the duration and spread of the pandemic, the extent, speed and effectiveness of worldwide containment and vaccination effort, any subsequent wave or waves of outbreaks, and the impact of these and other factors on our employees, customers and suppliers. Our ability to meet customer demands for products may be impaired or, similarly, our customers may experience adverse business consequences due to COVID-19 and its effects. Reduced demand for products or impaired ability to meet customer demand (including disruptions at our transportation service providers or vendors) could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and financial performance. While we had some COVID-19 related component delays impacting new product development schedules, we did not experience a major interruption in our supply chain. Management continues to monitor the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry and workforce. Given the ever-evolving nature of the pandemic and the continued global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not presently able to fully estimate the effects of COVID-19 on its results of operations, financial condition or liquidity for fiscal year 2022.

Company Response to CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act to provide certain relief as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. The CARES Act included provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferral of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified, improvement property. As of November 27, 2021, the Company deferred $0.9 million of employer-side social security tax payments. The Company has estimated and recorded the overall effects of the CARES Act and does not anticipate a material change.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis subject to the disclosure requirements of ASC 820. The Company had no investments as of November 27, 2021 and May 29, 2021.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION

On June 15, 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the IMES facility with LDL, LLC. That lease agreement was extended for five years in fiscal 2021. The Company shall be entitled to extend the term of the lease for a period of an additional five years by notifying the landlord in writing of its intention to do so within six months of the expiration of the term. The Executive Vice President of IMES, Lee A. McIntyre III (former owner of IMES), has an ownership interest in LDL, LLC. The lease agreement provides for monthly payments over five years with total future minimum lease payments of $0.6 million. Rental expense related to this lease amounted to $0.1 million for the six months ended November 27, 2021 and November 28, 2020.

INTRODUCTION

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to assist the reader in better understanding our business, results of operations, financial condition, changes in financial condition, critical accounting policies and estimates and significant developments. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this filing. This section is organized as follows:

•

Business Overview

•

Results of Operations – an analysis and comparison of our consolidated results of operations for the three and six month periods ended November 27, 2021 and November 28, 2020, as reflected in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

•

Liquidity, Financial Position and Capital Resources – a discussion of our primary sources and uses of cash for the six month periods ended November 27, 2021 and November 28, 2020, and a discussion of changes in our financial position.

Business Overview

Some of the Company's products are manufactured in China and are imported into the United States. The Office of the United States Trade Representative ("USTR") instituted additional 10% to 25% tariffs on the importation of a number of products into the United States from China effective July 6, 2018, with additional products added August 23, 2018 and September 24, 2018. These additional tariffs are a response to what the USTR considers to be certain unfair trade practices by China. A number of the Company's products manufactured in China are now subject to these additional duties of 25% when imported into the United States.

Management continues to work with its suppliers as well as its customers to mitigate the impact of the tariffs on our customers’ markets. However, if the Company is unable to successfully pass through the additional cost of these tariffs, or if the higher prices reduce demand for the Company's products, it will have a negative effect on the Company's sales and gross margins.

We have three operating and reportable segments, which we define as follows:

Canvys provides customized display solutions serving the corporate enterprise, financial, healthcare, industrial and medical original equipment manufacturers markets. Our engineers design, manufacture, source and support a full spectrum of solutions to match the needs of our customers. We offer long term availability and proven custom display solutions that include touch screens, protective panels, custom enclosures, All-In-One computers, specialized cabinet finishes and application specific software packages and certification services. Our volume commitments are lower than the large display manufacturers, making us the ideal choice for companies with very specific design requirements. We partner with both private label manufacturing companies and leading branded hardware vendors to offer the highest quality display and touch solutions and customized computing platforms.

We currently have operations in the following major geographic regions: North America, Asia/Pacific, Europe and Latin America.

Income Tax Provision

The income tax provision was $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and for the second quarter of fiscal 2021, respectively. The effective income tax rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was a tax provision of 11.8% as compared to a tax provision of 7.1% during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The difference in rate during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 reflects changes in our geographical distribution of income (loss) and state income tax provision due to temporary suspension of net operating loss utilization in Illinois and California. The 11.8% effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 21% as a result of our geographical distribution of income (loss), the movement of the valuation allowance against our U.S. state and federal net deferred tax assets and state income tax provision due to temporary suspension of net operating loss utilization in Illinois and California.

Net Income (Loss) and Per Share Data

Net income during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 was $4.1 million, or $0.30 per diluted common share and $0.27 per Class B diluted common share as compared to $0.7 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2021 or $0.05 per diluted common share and $0.05 per Class B diluted common share.

LIQUIDITY, FINANCIAL POSITION AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations and cash needs have been primarily financed through income from operations and cash on hand.

Cash and cash equivalents were $39.7 million at November 27, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents at November 27, 2021 consisted of $23.5 million in North America, $8.1 million in Europe, $1.2 million in Latin America and $6.9 million in Asia/Pacific. We repatriated $0.7 million to the United States in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, from our entity in China and we repatriated $0.3 million to the United States in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 from our entity in Taiwan. Although the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act generally eliminated federal income tax on future cash repatriation to the United States, cash repatriation may be subject to state and local taxes, withholding or similar taxes. See Note 7, Income Taxes of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 29, 2021, filed August 2, 2021 for further information.

Cash and cash equivalents were $43.3 million at May 29, 2021. Cash and cash equivalents at May 29, 2021, consisted of $26.1 million in North America, $8.8 million in Europe, $1.2 million in Latin America and $7.2 million in Asia/Pacific. We repatriated a total of $0.9 million to the United States in fiscal 2021 from several of our foreign entities. This amount includes $0.7 million from our entities in Italy and South Korea in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and $0.2 million from our entity in France in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19, including the extent, duration and effectiveness of containment actions taken, the speed and extent of vaccination programs, the impact of the pandemic on its supply chain, manufacturing and distribution operations, customers and employees, as well as the U.S. economy in general. However, due to the uncertain and constantly evolving impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, the Company cannot currently predict the long-term impact on its operations and financial results. The uncertainties associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects include potential adverse effects on the overall economy, the Company’s supply chain, transportation services, employees and customers. The COVID-19 pandemic and its effects could adversely affect the Company’s revenues, earnings, liquidity and cash flows and may require significant actions in response, including expense reductions. Conditions surrounding COVID-19 change rapidly and additional impacts of which the Company is not currently aware may arise. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that the existing sources of liquidity, including current cash, will provide sufficient resources to meet known capital requirements and working capital needs through the next twelve months.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities primarily resulted from our net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and changes in our operating assets and liabilities.

Operating activities used $0.2 million of cash during the first six months of fiscal 2022. We had a net income of $6.8 million during the first half of fiscal 2022, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, $0.1 million for inventory reserve provisions and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $9.2 million in cash during the first six months of fiscal 2022, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included an increase in accounts receivable of $3.1 million, an increase in inventory of $9.2 million and an increase in prepaid expenses of $1.1 million. Partially offsetting the cash utilization for accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses was an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $3.8 million. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to increased sales revenue. The majority of the inventory increase was to support the growth in LaFox manufacturing and the RF and microwave components business. The increase in accounts payable was related to the inventory increase and the increase in accrued liabilities was timing related.

Operating activities provided $1.1 million of cash during the first six months of fiscal 2021. We had a net loss of $0.5 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021, which included non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $0.4 million associated with the issuance of stock option and restricted stock awards, $0.5 million for inventory reserve provisions and depreciation and amortization expense of $1.7 million associated with our property and equipment as well as amortization of our intangible assets. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities resulted in a use of cash of $1.0 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021, net of foreign currency exchange gains and losses, included a decrease of $2.5 million in accounts payable, an increase in inventory of $1.0 million and an increase in accounts receivable of $0.2 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued liabilities of $3.4 million. The decrease in our accounts payable was due to timing of payments for some of our larger vendors for both inventory and services. The majority of the inventory increase was to support the electron tube and semi-conductor wafer fab equipment business. The increase in accounts receivable was primarily due to the increased sales for the first six months of fiscal 2021. The increase in accrued liabilities is mainly due to timing of employee compensation and payroll tax payments as well as the timing of other payments.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Cash flows from investing activities consisted primarily of capital expenditures and purchases and maturities of investments. Our purchases and proceeds from investments consist of time deposits and CDs. The purchasing of future investments varies from period to period due to interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

Cash used in investing activities of $1.6 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 was due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures related primarily to capital used for our Healthcare business, IT system and manufacturing facilities. The Company did not have any investment purchases or maturities in the first half of fiscal 2022.

Cash provided by investing activities of $5.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021 included proceeds from the maturities of investments of $16.0 million, partially offset by purchases of investments of $9.0 million and $1.3 million in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures related primarily to capital used for our Healthcare business and IT system.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities consisted primarily of cash dividends paid.

Cash used in financing activities of $0.9 million during the first six months of fiscal 2022 were due to dividend payments of $1.6 million with a partial offset for the proceeds from the issuance of stock of $0.7 million.

Cash used in financing activities of $1.7 million during the first six months of fiscal 2021 primarily resulted from cash used to pay dividends.

All future payments of dividends are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Dividend payments will depend on earnings, capital requirements, operating conditions and such other factors that the Board may deem relevant.
