NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

3. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

4. Revenue—On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method. The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. For the Company, the most significant impact of the new standard is the addition of required disclosures within the notes to the financial statements.

The Company operates in the fastener industry and is in the business of manufacturing and selling rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts, screw machine products, automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, generally upon shipment of goods or completion of services, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Sales taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized net of certain sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statement of income. These adjustments primarily relate to customer returns and allowances. The Company records a liability and reduction in sales for estimated product returns based upon historical experience. If we determine that our obligation under warranty claims is probable and subject to reasonable determination, an estimate of that liability is recorded as an offset against revenue at that time. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 reserves for warranty claims were not material. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as unearned revenue.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized in net sales, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred.

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the statement of income.

Total		16,833,532		2,085,303		18,918,835

5. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 23.1% and 31.1% for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 22.7% and 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower rate in 2018 is due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 that reduced the maximum federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. The effective rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate in 2017 primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2014 through 2017 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2014 through 2017 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2018 through 2021, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2014 through 2017 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2021. The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. A summary of inventories is as follows:

	June 30, 2018			December 31, 2017

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

Results of Operations

Revenues for the second quarter of 2018 were $9,792,784, an increase of $357,276, or 3.8%, compared to $9,435,508 reported for the second quarter of 2017. For the first half of 2018, net sales totaled $19,804,425 compared to $18,918,835 in the first half of 2017, an increase of $885,590, or 4.7%. Net income for the second quarter of 2018 was $703,092, or $0.73 per share, compared to $462,355, or $0.48 per share, in the second quarter of 2017. Net income for the first half of 2018 was $1,410,880, or $1.46 per share, compared to $973,277, or $1.01 per share, in the first half of 2017.

Fastener segment revenues were $9,034,275 in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $936,931, or 11.6%, compared to $8,097,344 reported in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, fastener segment revenues were $17,959,374, compared to $16,833,532 in the first half of 2017, an increase of $1,125,842, or 6.7%. The automotive sector is the primary market for our fastener segment products and our current year fastener segment sales have been supported by a 2% increase in U.S. light-vehicle sales. Additionally, we have added a number of non-automotive customers in the past year which has contributed to an increase in such sales of 32.8% and 23.4% in the second quarter and the first six months of 2018, respectively, compared to 2017. Fastener segment gross margins were $2,047,372 in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1,554,670 in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $492,702, or 31.7%. For the first half of 2018, gross margins for the segment were $4,024,012 compared to $3,587,484 in the first half of 2017, an increase of $436,528, or 12.2%. The overall improvement in fastener segment margins during the first six months of 2018 was primarily due to the increase in sales in the current year as well as the reduction in certain overhead expenses, most significantly tooling which declined $127,000, which helped offset the impact of higher steel prices.

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $758,509 in the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1,338,164 in the second quarter of 2017, a decline of $579,655, or 43.3%. The large decline in sales during the second quarter, which reversed a first quarter gain, was due to the shipment of certain high dollar value machine orders in the prior year quarter. For the first half of 2018, assembly equipment sales were $1,845,051 compared to $2,085,303 for the first half of 2017, a decline of $240,252, or 11.5%. Lower machine sales was the primary cause of the decline in assembly equipment segment gross margins to $241,062 in the second quarter of 2018 from $514,738 in the second quarter of 2017. For the first half of the year, gross margins were $607,427 compared to $738,435 in 2017, a decline of $131,008.

Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2018 were $1,411,969, a decline of $8,606, or 0.6%, compared with the year earlier quarter total of $1,420,575. Although sales commissions increased $40,000, due to higher sales, and profit sharing expense increased $36,000, due to the improvement in operating profit, these increases were offset by expenditures for a new ERP system that one of our locations incurred in the second quarter of 2017. For the first six months of 2018, selling and administrative expenses were $2,876,687 compared to $2,926,847 in 2017, a decline of $50,160, or 1.7%. As in the second quarter, expenditures for the first half of 2018 were favorably impacted by the ERP system conversion undertaken at one of our locations last year. This accounted for $150,000 of additional expenses during the first half of 2017, which was only partially offset by increases in sales commissions of $75,000 and profit sharing expense of $54,000 in the current year. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first half of 2018 were 14.5% compared to 15.5% in the first half of 2017.

Other Income

Other income in the second quarter of 2018 was $37,627, compared to $22,522 in the second quarter of 2017. Other income for the first half of 2018 was $71,128, compared to $43,205 in the first six months of 2017. The increases were primarily related to greater interest income on certificates of deposit due to higher interest rates and greater average invested balances in the current year.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 23.1% and 31.1% for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 22.7% and 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower rates in 2018 are due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 that reduced the maximum federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018. The new tax law had the estimated impact of reducing income tax expense by $92,000 and $193,000 during the second quarter and first half of 2018, respectively. The 2017 rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

11

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital at June 30, 2018 was $17.7 million, an increase of $0.7 million from the beginning of the year. The largest component of the net increase in working capital in the first half of 2018 was accounts receivable which increased $1.6 million since the beginning of the year due to the greater sales during the second quarter compared to the seasonally lower fourth quarter of 2017. Raw material purchases were accelerated during the second quarter in an effort to avoid tariff charges which contributed to a $0.9 million increase in inventory and a $0.8 million increase in accounts payable. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2018 were $0.6 million, which primarily consisted of equipment used in production activities. Dividends paid in the first two quarters were $0.7 million, including two regular quarterly payments of $0.21 per share and an extra dividend of $0.30 per share paid in the first quarter. The net result of these changes and other cash flow activity was to leave cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at $8.4 million as of June 30, 2018 compared to $9.0 million at the beginning of the year.

Results of Operations Summary

We are pleased to report improvement in both sales and net income in the second quarter and the first half of 2018 compared to the year earlier periods. Demand for our fastener segment products has benefited from an increase in domestic automotive sales and the addition of new non-automotive customers in the past year. However, we have experienced increases in steel prices, our primary raw material, in recent months that have negatively impacted our gross margins and remain a concern as further increases are expected. The near-term outlook for our assembly equipment segment is positive due to a machine order backlog that exceeds that of a year ago. Our results will continue to be impacted by higher prices for raw materials and the disruption that sourcing changes may bring, however, we will continue to make adjustments to our activities which we feel are necessary based on changing conditions in our markets while maintaining an emphasis on quality and reliability of service our customers demand.

Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion contains certain “forward-looking statements” which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.    These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales with a major customer, risks related to export sales, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving expected cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Notes

Accounting Policies

1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Commitments and Contingencies

3.  The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business.  While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Revenue

4.  Revenue—On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method.  The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  For the Company, the most significant impact of the new standard is the addition of required disclosures within the notes to the financial statements.

The Company operates in the fastener industry and is in the business of manufacturing and selling rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts, screw machine products, automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines.  Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, generally upon shipment of goods or completion of services, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services.  Sales taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue.  Revenue is recognized net of certain sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statement of income.  These adjustments primarily relate to customer returns and allowances.  The Company records a liability and reduction in sales for estimated product returns based upon historical experience.  If we determine that our obligation under warranty claims is probable and subject to reasonable determination, an estimate of that liability is recorded as an offset against revenue at that time.  As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 reserves for warranty claims were not material.  Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as unearned revenue.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized in net sales, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred.

Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year.  These costs are recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the

statement of income.

The following table presents revenue by segment, further disaggregated by end-market:

Income Taxes

5.  The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 23.1% and 31.1% for the second quarter of 2018 and 2017, respectively, and 22.7% and 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The lower rate in 2018 is due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017 that reduced the maximum federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% beginning in 2018.  The effective rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate in 2017 primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2014 through 2017 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).   While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.  No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings.  The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2014 through 2017 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2018 through 2021, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2014 through 2017 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2021.  The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

Policies

Accounting Policies

1.  In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods.  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Risks and Uncertainties

2.  The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry.  The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

Commitments and Contingencies

3.  The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business.  While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.

Revenue

4.  Revenue—On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective method.  The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.  For the Company, the most significant impact of the new standard is the addition of required disclosures within the notes to the financial statements.
