NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2017 annual report and the notes thereto.

 

2.Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Business Description

 

Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components, and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers cash to include all checking, savings and money market accounts.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $198,000 at September 30, 2018 and $149,000 at December 31, 2017. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Our revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods and are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance. Purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase. Service sales, principally representing repair, are recognized at the time of shipment of goods.

 

The costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering, development and repair activities of our products under agreements with commercial customers are expensed as incurred. Subsequently, the revenue is recognized as products are delivered to the customers with the approval by the customers.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. The Company determines revenue recognition using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

 

Revenue excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (e.g., sales and use taxes). Revenue includes payments for shipping activities that are reimbursed by the customer to the Company.

 

Revenue on a significant portion of our contracts is currently recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Our revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods and are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance.

 

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue are recognized at the time of shipment, transfer of title and customer acceptance, there is no significant judgment applied to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or transaction price.

 

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. The Company generally receives payment for these contracts within the payment terms negotiated and agreed upon by each customer contract.

 

Warranty and repair obligations are assessed on all returns. Revenue is not recorded on any warranty returns. The Company warrants its products against design, materials and workmanship based on an average of twenty-seven months. The Company determines warranty reserves needed based on actual average costs of warranty units shipped and current facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $408,000 and $39,000, respectively. Revenue is recognized on repair returns, covered under a customer contract, at the contractual price upon shipment to the customer.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition. Market provisions in respect of lower of cost or market adjustments and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $1,492,000 and $1,438,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply. These amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

 

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

 

Buildings and improvements   5-40 years
Machinery and equipment   5-20 years
Tooling   3-5 years

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York and Texas state income tax returns and separate Pennsylvania and Arkansas income tax returns.

 

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2017, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The 2015 through 2017 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to approximately $875,000 and $165,000, respectively. Interest paid amounted to approximately $80,000 and $56,000, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. Equipment received but not placed in service and included in accounts payable at September 30, 2017 amounted to approximately $508,000.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain balances, as previously reported, were reclassified to conform with classifications adopted in the current period.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentration of Credit Risks

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

 

Effective January 1, 2018 the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost,” issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) which requires employers to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item(s) as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. Only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. The other components of net periodic benefit cost will be presented separately from the line item(s) that includes the service cost and outside of any subtotal of operating income, if one is presented. ASU 2017-07 allows a practical expedient that permits an entity to use amounts disclosed in its pension and other post retirement requirements. The Company adopted this guidance during the reporting period. The reporting of the annual service costs is expected to be immaterial.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)" using the modified retrospective method. The new revenue recognition standard outlines a comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. Topic 606 also requires significantly expanded disclosure requirements and applied the standard to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. There was no cumulative effect of the adoption recognized. We have obtained an understanding of the new standard and determined that there is no material change in our revenue recognition after implementation of the standard. See above for the Company’s updated revenue recognition accounting policy.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” that allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the U.S. tax reform legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company applied the guidance as of the beginning of the period of adoption and reclassified approximately $6,000 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings due to the change in the federal corporate tax rate.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” There are elements of the new standard that could impact almost all entities to some extent, although the lessees will likely see the most significant changes. Lessee will need to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording the right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Public business entities are required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2018. For calendar year-end public companies, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

Amortization expense primarily related to capital leases amounted to approximately $57,000 and $9,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to approximately $20,000 and $3,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

As of September 30, 2018, there is approximately $931,000 ($665,000 – 2017) of construction in progress (CIP) included in property, plant and equipment all of which is related to capital projects. There is approximately $556,000 in CIP for the implementation costs for the enterprise resource planning software that will be used as an integral part of the product process at the Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and the Consumer Products Group (“CPG”) and approximately $240,000 for machinery received but not placed in service at both the ATG and CPG with the remainder of approximately $135,000 of self-constructed assets not yet put into service. See Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information on anticipated capital expenditures.

On May 25, 2018, the Company issued 78,750 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers and certain key management of the Company under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The restricted share awards have varying vesting periods between January 2019 and January 2021; however, these shares have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The accrued dividends are paid upon vesting of the restricted shares. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be approximately $735,000 and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

 

On May 25, 2018, the Company revised its director compensation policy pursuant to which non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted stock under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. An aggregate of 4,288 restricted shares were issued that vest quarterly over a twelve month service period. These shares have voting rights and accrue dividends that are paid upon vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on the grant date fair value is expected to be approximately $40,000 and will be recognized over the requisite service period.

 

Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 is approximately $183,000 and $176,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards.

 

On May 18, 2018 the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.16 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on July 16, 2018 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2018 and was approximately $413,000 in the aggregate. These dividends do not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. The amount is recorded in dividends payable and as a reduction to retained earnings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share that were outstanding for the period. Incremental shares from assumed conversions are calculated as the number of shares that would be issued, net of the number of shares that could be purchased in the marketplace with the cash received upon stock option exercise. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

7.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Post retirement obligation. As previously disclosed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company, under an employment agreement, is expected to pay post-employment health related benefits to a former Executive Officer of the Company (the “Former Employee”), of which approximately $1,007,000 has been accrued as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, and is reflected as Post Retirement Obligation in the accompanying balance sheet. After termination, the scope of the health related benefits obligation in the agreement became an issue. In June 2016 an Arbitrator was selected by the parties to hear this matter. The Company did not consider the risk of loss to be probable at September 30, 2017 however, a final opinion and award was issued on March 22, 2018 resulting in the increased accrual at September 30, 2018. Additionally, the Company paid approximately $367,000 pursuant to the arbitration award as of September 30, 2018.

 

The Company provides certain post-employment health and life insurance benefits for its Chief Executive Officer and President Kenneth Trbovich. Upon retirement and after attaining at least the age of 65, the Company will pay for the retired Executive’s and dependent’s health benefits and will continue the Company-provided life insurance offered at the time of retirement. The retiree’s health insurance benefits ceases upon the death of the retired executive. Approximately $821,000 and $736,000 has been accrued as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is reflected as Post Retirement Obligation in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Facility Expansion. The Company’s Consumer Products Group (“CPG”) was awarded a $300,000 grant from Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency (“CCIDA”) on March 13, 2014. The grant was used towards new manufacturing equipment in connection with the proposed expansion project. As part of the terms of the Grant Contract with CCIDA, the Company’s CPG has agreed to maintain certain employment levels for a period of five years from the date of the agreement. If the employment levels are not maintained, the Company will be required to repay the grant proceeds on a prorated basis. The Company has maintained the required employment levels as of September 30, 2018.

8.Litigation

 

Litigation. The Company has pending litigation relative to leases of certain equipment and real property with a former related party. Aero, Inc. is suing Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary and has alleged damages in the amount of $3,000,000. The Company has filed a response to the Aero, Inc. lawsuit and has also filed a counter-claim in the amount of $3,191,000. The Company considers the risk of loss remote, and is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability or benefit that may be realized as a result of this litigation. Accordingly, no gain or loss has been recognized in the accompanying financials statements related to this litigation.

 

There are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.

Legal fees paid for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 amounted to approximately $23,000 and $44,000, respectively. Additionally, the Company had accrued unbilled legal fees at September 30, 2018 and 2017 of approximately $19,000 and $39,000, respectively, with this firm.

 

10.Business Segments

 

The Company operates in two business segments, ATG and CPG. The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in ATG primarily involve the design, manufacture, and marketing of servo-control components (i.e., torque motors, control valves, actuators, etc.) for government, commercial and industrial applications. CPG’s operations involve the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

 

As of September 30, 2018, the Company had identifiable assets of approximately $40,803,000 ($37,986,000 – December 31, 2017) of which approximately $29,896,000 ($26,331,000 – December 31, 2017) was for ATG and approximately $10,907,000 ($11,655,000 – December 31, 2017) was for CPG.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview

 

The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects and threats of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.

 

The ATG engages in business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its activities to include new domestic and foreign markets that are consistent with its core competencies. We believe our business remains particularly well positioned in the strong commercial aircraft market driven by the replacement of older aircraft with more fuel efficient alternatives and the increasing demand for air travel in emerging markets. Although the ATG backlog continues to be strong, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed/changed as a function of the Company’s customers’ final delivery determinations based on changes in the global economy and other factors.

 

The CPG consumer products are marketed throughout the United States and in select foreign markets. Consumer sales are moderately seasonal. Sales are direct to consumer, through national and international distributors, and through retailers such as big box, hardware, supermarket, variety, department, discount, gift, drug, outdoors and sporting stores. The CPG also sells knives and tools, principally machetes, bayonets, survival knives and kitchen knives, to various branches of the United States Government which accounted for less than 5% and 7% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 approximately 7% and 9% respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company is optimistic in relation to these potential opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors, and as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.

Revenue

 

The Company’s consolidated revenue from operations increased approximately $5,229,000 or 17.4% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017. During this period the ATG increased commercial shipments by approximately $6,507,000 offset by the CPG commercial shipments decrease of approximately $609,000. Both ATG and CPG decreased government shipments by approximately $447,000 and $222,000, respectively, during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

The consolidated revenue increase for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017 is primarily attributed to ATG with increased number of units shipped of approximately $3,091,000 and average price increases of approximately $2,969,000. This is offset by a decrease in revenue at the CPG due to a decrease in the number of units shipped of approximately $456,000 and average price decreases of approximately $375,000 as compared to the same nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

 

The Company’s consolidated revenue from operations increased approximately $1,443,000 or 12.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017. During this period the ATG increased commercial shipments by approximately $2,142,000 offset by the CPG commercial shipments decrease of approximately $134,000. Both ATG and CPG decreased government shipments by approximately $421,000 and $144,000, respectively, during the three month period ended September 30, 2018.

 

The consolidated revenue increase for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017 is primarily attributed to increased average prices of approximately $1,155,000 and increased number of units shipped of approximately $566,000 at the ATG. This is partially offset by an overall decrease in revenue at the CPG. The decrease in revenue at the CPG is primarily attributed to average price decreases of approximately $352,000 offset slightly by volume increases of approximately $74,000 as compared to the same three month period ended September 30, 2017.

The Company’s consolidated gross margin increased approximately $2,177,000 or 32.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and increased approximately $849,000 or 27.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017.

 

Gross margin improved in the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increase in units shipped of approximately $1,256,000 and increased average prices of approximately $1,030,000 at the ATG as compared to the same period in 2017. This is partially offset by a decrease in the number of units shipped of approximately $21,000 and decreased average prices of approximately $88,000 at the CPG as compared to the same period in 2017.

 

Gross margin improved in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 primarily due to the increased number of units shipped of approximately $228,000 and increased average prices of approximately $726,000 at the ATG as compared to the same period in 2017. This is partially offset by a decrease in average prices of approximately $108,000 offset slightly by an increase in units shipped of approximately $3,000 at the CPG as compared to the same period in 2017.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) increased approximately $167,000 or 3.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 and decreased approximately $11,000 or 0.5% for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017. This is primarily attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions, sales support and expenses related to trade shows at the CPG for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. SG&A was flat in the three month period ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The SG&A expenses at the ATG decreased approximately $166,000 due to non-recurring charges incurred during the third quarter of 2017 offset by increased SG&A expenses of approximately $155,000 at the CPG attributable to the sales and marketing of products including media advertising and administrative support.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased by 42.9% and 55.6% in the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. This is primarily due to borrowing on the lease line of credit for the production equipment financing at ATG. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for information on the equipment capital leases.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 20.0% and 29.2% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 20.7% and 32.1% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The reduction in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21% as a result of the Tax and Jobs Act. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the federal tax credit for research and development expenditures.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 increased approximately $1,693,000 and net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 increased approximately $786,000, when compared to the same periods in 2017. This increase is primarily the result of increases in revenue at the ATG business segment offset by a decrease in revenue at the CPG business segment as discussed above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable and accounts payable as well as capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt. At September 30, 2018, the Company had working capital of approximately $22,199,000 of which approximately $2,379,000 was comprised of cash.

 

The Company utilized approximately $24,000 in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 includes working capital requirements, increased receivables due to timing of shipments and payments by customers and increase in inventory raw materials for increased production offset by timing differences on payments to vendors. The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included approximately $410,000 of principal payments on long-term debt as well as approximately $150,000 for the purchase of treasury shares. The Company also expended approximately $1,429,000 for capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
