The accompanying unaudited 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 months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2013 annual report and the notes thereto.

Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
|
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 and Cash Equivalents
|
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
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 $112,000 at March 31, 2014 and $122,000 at December 31, 2013. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.
Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such 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.
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard 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 $755,000 and $714,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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.
|
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 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 |
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. 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 March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
|
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
|
Income taxes refund (net of payments) received during the three months ended March 31, 2014 amounted to approximately $36,000. Income taxes paid during the three months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to approximately $2,700. Interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to approximately $9,000 and $10,000, respectively.
SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
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 whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate, or at least annually, 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 March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
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.
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. Refer to Note 10, Business Segments, for disclosures related to customer concentrations.
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, 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.

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. 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.

Commitments and Contingencies
|
The Company has a contingent liability related to the termination of an employment agreement for Nicholas D. Trbovich, Jr., a former Executive Officer of the Company, effective October 20, 2012. The Company is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the amount of the liability at this time. Under the terms of the agreement, management estimates that the compensation in the form of future medical benefits and severance payments could result in additional liabilities as high as approximately $1,400,000. The Company is defending its decision to terminate the employment agreement through arbitration and has not considered the risk of loss to be probable, accordingly, no additional liability has been accrued for the periods ended March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013 related to this item.
The Company has pending litigation relative to leases of certain equipment and real property with a former related party, Aero Inc. 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 has not considered the risk of loss to be probable, but 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.

The Company leases certain equipment pursuant to operating lease arrangements. Total rental expense in the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and future minimum payments under such leases are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company also leases certain real property being accounted for under capital leases. See also Note 4, Property, Plant and Equipment and Note 5, Long-Term Debt of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on the leases.
The Company anticipates a multi-year investment plan designed to consolidate the operations of the CPG. The five year plan includes the construction of an approximate 28,000 square foot addition, capital improvements to the existing plant, the reconfiguration of its production process within the expanded facility, and the addition of new state of the art knife-making equipment. There were no material commitments of financial resources at March 31, 2014, however the Company expects to make the initial equipment purchases and to break ground on the facility expansion in the second quarter of 2014. The Ontario Knife Company was awarded certain incentives from the County of Cattaraugus Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) in connection with a proposed expansion of The Ontario Knife Company’s facility in Franklinville, New York and other proposed capital expenditures. The incentives include certain real property tax and sales tax abatements in connection with the proposed project. The Ontario Knife Company entered into customary lease and leaseback arrangements with the CCIDA to facilitate the various tax incentives. The Company has also been awarded a $300,000 grant from Cattaraugus County, New York. The grant can be used towards the payment or reimbursement for work and/or materials, incurred or to be incurred in connection with the proposed expansion project. As part of the terms of the Grant Contract with Cattaraugus County, The Ontario Knife Company has agreed to maintain certain employment levels for a period of five years from the date of the agreement. The Company also received a $416,000 New York State Community Development Block Grant from the Office of Community Renewal. The grant can be used towards the purchase of equipment in connection with the proposed expansion project.
On July 17, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aero Metal Products, Inc., received a summons and complaint filed by Aero, Inc. in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie. Aero, Inc. is owned by the wife of a former officer and director of Servotronics. The complaint alleges various causes of action arising out of a Personal Property Lease and Real Property Lease between Aero Metal Products, Inc. and Aero, Inc. The Company believes that the litigation is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the litigation.
In August 2013, Nicholas D. Trbovich, Jr., a former officer and director of Servotronics, commenced an arbitration proceeding against the Company in connection with the termination of his employment agreement effective October 20, 2012. The Company believes that the claims raised by Mr. Trbovich, Jr. are without merit and intends to defend against them vigorously. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the termination of the employment agreement.
There are no other legal proceedings which are material to the Company 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.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 approximately 17% and 19%, 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.
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 of terrorism and the threat of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.
The ATG continues its aggressive 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. 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 that may be based on changes in the global economy and other factors.
The Company’s CPG develops new commercial products and products for government and military applications. Included in the significant uncertainties in the near and long term is the impact of expected budget cuts for military spending and vagaries inherent in the government procurement process and programs. The ATG and CPG continue to respond to U.S. government procurement requests for quotes. New product development activities are ongoing along with the acquisition and development of new product lines.
The following table compares the Company’s consolidated statements of operations data for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 ($000’s omitted).

The Company’s consolidated revenues from continuing operations decreased approximately $352,000 or 4.8% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same three month period ended March 31, 2013. This variation in sales is the result of a decrease in shipments to the U.S Government and its prime vendors at the ATG as well as a decrease of commercial products at the CPG.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues remained relatively consistent for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. The Company continues to aggressively pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and other operating efficiencies including capital investments and technical developments in updated and new equipment/machinery as well as investing in the development and training of its labor force.
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
|
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately $277,000 or 21.3% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. Approximately 36% of SG&A expense relates to labor and labor related expense to support SG&A functions, approximately 15% of SG&A expense is attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions and royalty expenses and approximately 19% of SG&A expense is attributable to professional and legal services. The primary increase in SG&A can be attributed to legal expenses associated with the previously disclosed arbitration proceedings with a former officer of the Company as well as an increase in compensation expense related to the granting of restricted stock awards in the second quarter of 2013. See also Note 7, Shareholders’ Equity, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on the grants and scheduled vesting of the restricted stock awards.
|
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
|
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $16,000 or 10.5% for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its manufacturing delivery commitments and to meet certain information technology related capital expenditure requirements. See also Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on anticipated capital expenditure.
Interest expense remained relatively consistent for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 due to interest rates which have remained consistent. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. Other income is immaterial in relationship to the consolidated financial statements.
The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 27.9% and 3.8% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the expected tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The rate increase is attributable to the retroactive reinstatement of the development credit in the first quarter of 2013, applicable to 2012 as well as the expiration of the development credit as of December 31, 2013.
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 decreased $322,000 or 181.9% when compared to the same period ended March 31, 2013. This decrease is the result of several factors that include decreased sales at the CPG, as it has not yet fully recognized the benefits from the previously discussed re-focus of the CPG core competencies. This in-progress realignment includes the aggressive penetration into the commercial markets to hedge against unpredictable variations in government orders. This in-progress realignment is considered a necessary investment into the future of the CPG. Also contributing to the decrease in income is increases in SG&A expenses associated with legal and professional work as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
The Company’s primary 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 March 31, 2014, the Company had working capital of approximately $16,549,000 ($17,023,000 – December 31, 2013) of which approximately $3,627,000 ($4,502,000 – December 31, 2013) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.
The Company used approximately $296,000 in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Cash was generated primarily through timing differences in payments to vendors and an increase in other accrued liabilities. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include working capital requirements, mainly timing differences on collections of accounts receivable, increase in inventory, prepayments on insurances and property tax and other current assets. Cash generated and used in operations is consistent with sales volume, customer expectations and competitive pressures. The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the first three months of 2014 included approximately $156,000 for the purchase of treasury shares. The Company also expended approximately $418,000 for capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2014, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company also has an unsecured $2,000,000 line of credit on which there is no balance outstanding at March 31, 2014. If needed, this can be used to fund cash flow required for operations or capital investment projects. The Company believes that it has adequate internal and external resources available to fund expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through fiscal 2013 as supported by the level of cash/cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations and bank lines of credit.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those pertaining to the Company’s capital resources and profitability. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties.

The Company’s business is performed under fixed price contracts and the following factors, among others discussed herein, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: uncertainties in today’s global economy and global competition, and difficulty in predicting defense appropriations, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, and market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company-made components. The success of the Company also depends upon the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
