NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2014 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 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.

 

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 $85,000 at September 30, 2015 and $66,000 at December 31, 2014. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

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

 

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 $1,366,000 and $1,254,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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

 

Income Taxes

 

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 September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The 2012 through 2014 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

 

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Income taxes paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 amounted to approximately $136,000. Income taxes paid (net of refunds) during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to approximately $44,000. Interest paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 amounted to approximately $60,000 and $31,000, respectively. On May 29, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on July 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2015 and was approximately $375,000 in the aggregate.

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 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

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.

 

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 9, 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the new guidance on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each individual period presented should be adjusted to reflect the period-specific effects of applying the new guidance. Upon transition, entities are required to comply with the applicable disclosures for a change in an accounting principle. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016; as such, the Company plans to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of its debt liabilities and to provide all necessary disclosures beginning with the Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which adds comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) addressing ASU 2015-03, as discussed on the previous page, and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC commented it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2015-15 in connection with its adoption of ASU 2015-03 effective January 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2015-15 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The ASU changes the measurement principle for certain inventory methods from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." 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. In August 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of the standard to annual reporting periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are permitted to apply the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard shall be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

There were no shares purchased by the Company during the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.

 

On April 18, 2013, the Company issued 165,000 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers of the Company under the Company's 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was approved by the shareholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 shares. The restricted share awards vest over four year periods between January 2014 and January 2017 and have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be $1,336,500 and will be recognized over the four year requisite service period. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is approximately $271,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards. A tax benefit to the Company of approximately $23,000 associated with these transactions reduced taxes payable and was credited directly to capital in excess of par value for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

 

On January 1, 2015, 41,250 shares of restricted stock vested of which 17,435 shares were withheld and repurchased by the Company for approximately $114,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

 

On May 29, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on July 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on June 30, 2015 and was approximately $375,000 in the aggregate. These dividends do not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. The amount is recorded 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.

Agreement with respect to Insurance Claim. As previously disclosed, the Company received $4,500,000 in the first quarter of 2015 from the carrier related to the Company's claim for insurance for damages the Company suffered in connection with the above arbitration proceeding. The insurance carrier also paid under the policy partial attorney fees incurred by the Company in defense of the arbitration. The Company recorded the benefit from this agreement during the first quarter of 2015.

 

Facility Expansion. As previously disclosed, the Company has commenced a multi-year investment plan designed to consolidate the operations of the CPG. The five year plan included 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. The Company broke ground in the second quarter of 2014 and is now manufacturing in the newly constructed facility. The cost of the project is approximately $4,000,000 over a five year period of which approximately $3,393,000 was completed as of September 30, 2015. Costs for the project are being accounted for as construction in progress and subsequently moved to property plant and equipment when placed in service. The Company’s CPG was awarded certain incentives from the County of Cattaraugus Industrial Development Agency (CCIDA) in connection with the expansion of the Company’s CPG 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 Company’s CPG entered into customary lease and leaseback arrangements with the CCIDA to facilitate the various tax incentives. The Company’s CPG 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 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. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has received approximately $273,000 under the grant and recorded the amount as a reduction to the carrying value of the related assets and is amortized as a reduction of depreciation expense over the life of the related assets. The Company’s CPG was also awarded 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 and when received will be recorded as a reduction to the carrying value of the asset. No amounts have been received or recorded by the Company’s CPG under this grant as of September 30, 2015.

 

8.Litigation

 

Except as set forth in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, 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.

 

9.Business Segments

 

The Company operates in two business segments, Advanced Technology Group (“ATG”) and Consumer Products Group (“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.

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

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 approximately 11% and 18%, respectively, and 10% and 20% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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 and threats of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.

 

- 15

 

 

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. 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 Company’s CPG manufactures knives, tools, and equipment for commercial, consumer, government, and military applications. In response to recent and ongoing reductions in military spending, the CPG continues to diversify its revenue streams with a broader government focus and new commercial channels, including the addition of national retailers, international accounts, and a direct-to-consumer business line. New product development is focused on the commercialization of products with applications that span government and civilian requirements to maximize demand or that open up new lines of business entirely.

 

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.

Revenue

 

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $4,106,000 or 17.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and increased approximately $1,678,000 or 20.9% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014. The increase in revenue is the result of increases in commercial shipments at both ATG and CPG as well as an increase in shipments of a new product line at CPG.

 

Cost of Goods Sold

 

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues decreased from 75.7% to 74.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and decreased from 76.3% to 71.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014 due in part to the mix of product sold as well as the realization of certain expected operational efficiencies attributed to the expansion and renovation at CPG. Total employment levels grew from 277 employees at September 30, 2014 to 297 at September 30, 2015. The increase in employees is in response to an increase in production capacity requirements at ATG. The Company continues to 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 as a percentage of revenues decreased from 18.2% to 16.8% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and decreased from 15.7% to 15.3% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014. Approximately 65% of SG&A expense relates to labor and labor related expense to support SG&A functions. Such expenses increased approximately $463,000 primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefit costs for new and existing employees. Approximately 10% of SG&A expense is attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions and royalty expenses. These expenses decreased approximately $9,000 primarily due to efficiencies achieved through restructuring distribution channels and programs at the CPG. Approximately 10% of SG&A expense is attributable to professional and legal services, such expenses decreased approximately $166,000 primarily due to a reduction in legal expenses associated with the previously disclosed arbitration proceedings with a Former Employee.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

 

Depreciation and amortization increased approximately $35,000 for the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and when compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to the assets related to the CPG expansion and renovation being placed in service in 2015. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) 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 and related depreciation and amortization expense 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 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information on anticipated capital expenditures.

 

Arbitration Award Expense

 

As discussed in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, the Company had accrued for approximately $5,419,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, related to an arbitration award issued on September 30, 2014 and finalized on February 23, 2015. The Company incurred approximately $50,000 in additional interest in the first quarter of 2015 prior to payment of the award on March 6, 2015. The Company does not expect to have any further material expenditures related to the arbitration.

 

Insurance Proceeds - Arbitration

 

On February 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with its insurance carrier pursuant to which the Company received $4,500,000 from the carrier related to the Company's claim for insurance for damages the Company suffered in connection with the previously discussed arbitration proceeding. The insurance carrier also paid under the policy partial attorney fees incurred by the Company in defense of the arbitration. The insurance proceeds were used to pay the majority of the arbitration award with the remainder being paid by the Company using cash on hand. See also Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies, for more information.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased approximately $22,000 or 71.0% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and increased approximately $6,000 or 50.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014 due to the Company’s refinancing of debt in December of 2014 related to the capital investment at the CPG manufacturing facility. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for information on long-term debt.

Other Income

 

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.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 34.0% and 33.4% for the nine month periods and approximately 34.0% and 33.1% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes and permanent non-deductible expenditures. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 also reflects the expected tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

 

Net Income

 

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 increased approximately $7,135,000 and increased approximately $4,045,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 when compared to the same periods in 2014. This increase is the result of increases in revenues in the respective periods as well as the insurance settlement received on February 20, 2015 as discussed in Note 7, Commitments and Contingencies.

 

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 September 30, 2015, the Company had working capital of approximately $18,860,000 ($15,752,000 – December 31, 2014) of which approximately $2,985,000 ($4,166,000 – December 31, 2014) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

 

The Company generated approximately $1,080,000 in cash from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 include working capital requirements, mainly timing differences on collections of accounts receivable, increases in inventory, prepayments on insurances and property tax and other current assets as well as a $5,201,000 payment for the arbitration award.

On December 1, 2014, the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement that provides for a $2,620,000 seven-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) and $2,000,000 line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit, which replaced the Company’s previous $2,000,000 line of credit, was renewed on May 28, 2015 and is available until June 22, 2016, unless subsequently renewed. As of September 30, 2015, there were no draws on the line. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to pay off the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds that were issued by a government agency in 1994 to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/advanced technology facility and which matured on December 1, 2014. In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ontario Knife Company (OKC) also entered into a separate Loan Agreement with the Bank on December 1, 2014. The OKC Loan Agreement provides for a $2,000,000 seven-year term loan (the “OKC Term Loan”). The proceeds from the OKC Term Loan are being used to purchase equipment and expand/renovate the OKC facility in Franklinville, New York.

 

Borrowings under these Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the Bank’s Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 1.4%. Principal installments are payable on the Term Loan and the OKC Term Loan through December 1, 2021 with a balloon payment at maturity of the Term Loan. The Term Loan and Line of Credit are secured by all of the Company’s equipment, receivables and inventory. The OKC Term Loan is secured by substantially all of OKC’s equipment and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

 

The Company believes its cash generating capability and financial condition, together with available credit facilities will be adequate to meet our operating, investing and financing needs.

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, the timing and amount of payment obligation relating to the arbitration award and the Company’s ability to pay these obligations. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company derives a material portion of its revenues from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors. 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.
