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 September 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018 (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, 2018.

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 nine-month period ending September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The ASU increases transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU requires lessees to recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method. Based on the Company’s current lease agreements, adopting this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

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—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. For certain assembly equipment segment transactions, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation using a labor-based measure. Labor incurred and specific material costs are compared to milestone payments per sales contract. Based on our experience, this method most accurately reflects the transfer of goods under such contracts. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company realized $219,700 related to such a contract and the remaining performance obligation under that contract of $118,300 was recognized as revenue in the third quarter.

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 September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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.

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

Results of Operations

Net sales for the third quarter of 2019 were $8,188,905 compared to $8,856,049 in the third quarter of 2018, a decline of $667,144, or 7.5%. As of September 30, 2019, year to date sales totaled $25,686,034 compared to $28,660,474, for the first three quarters of 2018, a decline of $2,974,440, or 10.4%. The decline in net sales in the current year is primarily due to reduced demand for fastener segment parts, especially from automotive customers. Net income for the third quarter of 2019 was $315,797, or $0.32 per share, compared to $287,749, or $0.30 per share, in the third quarter of 2018. Net income for the first three quarters of 2019 was $832,198, or $0.86 per share, compared with $1,698,629, or $1.76 per share, reported in 2018. Net income in the current year has been negatively impacted by the decline in sales as well as the increase in certain production costs.

Fastener segment revenues were $7,306,895 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $7,936,798 in the year earlier quarter, a decline of $629,903, or 7.9%. For the first three quarters of 2019, fastener segment revenues were $22,702,719 compared to $25,896,172 in 2018, a decline of $3,193,453, or 12.3%. The automotive sector is the primary market for our fastener segment products and while North American light-vehicle production has declined in 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018, our sales to automotive customers in certain other locations has been particularly weak in the current year due to the global economic slowdown impacting many foreign countries. Fastener segment sales to automotive customers declined $592,735, or 11.2%, in the third quarter and $2,928,923, or 17.0%, in the first three quarters of 2019 compared to the prior year periods. Sales to non-automotive customers have declined a more modest 3.1% in the first three quarters of the current year. Fastener segment gross margins were $1,314,044 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $1,336,509 in the third quarter of 2018, a decline of $22,465. The decline in gross margin during the quarter was less than the decline in net sales due to the combined effects of improved operating efficiencies and significant reductions in tooling and supplies expenditures as well as lower repair expenses. For the first nine months of 2019, gross margins for the fastener segment were $3,858,277 compared to $5,360,521 in the first nine months of 2018, a decline of $1,502,244. In addition to the negative impact lower sales have had on gross margins, certain production costs in 2019 have been higher than a year earlier. Steel is our primary raw material and on average, steel prices were 7% higher in the first three quarters of 2019 than a year earlier. The impact of higher steel prices was more pronounced in the first half of the year as we were able to obtain more favorable pricing in the third quarter. Labor costs have also risen more than expected in the current year due to the tight labor market.

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $882,010 in the third quarter of 2019 compared to $919,251 in the third quarter of 2018, a decline of $37,241, or 4.1%. Despite the decline in sales during the quarter, gross margins improved from $297,725 to $335,723 due to a more profitable product mix. For the first nine months of 2019, assembly equipment segment sales were $2,983,315 compared to $2,764,302 for the same period in 2018, an increase of $219,013, or 7.9%. For the first three quarters of the year, assembly equipment segment gross margins were $1,001,223 compared to $905,152 in 2018, an increase of $96,071.

Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2019 were $1,282,149, a decline of $26,735, or 2%, compared to the year earlier quarter total of $1,308,884. The decline was primarily due to a $20,000 reduction in commission expense related to lower sales in the current year quarter. Selling and administrative expenses for the first three quarters of 2019 were $3,931,510 compared to $4,185,571 for the same period of 2018, a reduction of $254,061, or 6.1%. The decline was primarily due to a $121,000 reduction in profit sharing expense related to lower operating profit in the current year and a $103,000 reduction in sales commissions due to lower sales. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of 2019 was 15.3% compared to 14.6% for the first nine months of 2018.

Other Income

Other income in the third quarter of 2019 was $47,179 compared to $38,399 in the third quarter of 2018. Other income for the first three quarters of 2019 was $145,208 compared to $109,527 in the same period of 2018. Other income consists primarily of interest income on certificates of deposit. The increases were primarily due to higher interest rates in the current year compared to the year earlier periods.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rates were 23.9% and 20.9% for the third quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, and 22.5% and 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital as of September 30, 2019 amounted to $16.9 million, a decrease of $0.5 million from the beginning of the year. Contributing to that decline were capital expenditures during the current year of $1.6 million, which consisted primarily of equipment used in production activities, and dividends paid of $0.9 million, including three regular quarterly payments of $0.22 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 items was to leave cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at $7.3 million as of September 30, 2019 compared to $7.8 million at the beginning of the year. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.

Results of Operations Summary

As in the first half of the year, overall results in the third quarter continued to be pressured by reduced demand in the fastener segment, especially from automotive customers. Demand was further negatively impacted by a strike by the United Auto Workers against General Motors which began during September. The impact of the strike will extend into fourth quarter results. Although we have seen some more favorable prices for steel recently, raw material prices are still above year earlier levels and remain a concern as trade disputes persist. In contrast to the fastener segment, our current year assembly equipment segment results have exceeded those of a year earlier and demand for such products remains relatively stable. Given the challenges of the current environment, we will continue to make adjustments to our activities in an effort to improve operational efficiencies as a means of improving operating margins, while seeking to increase sales by developing new customer relationships and building on existing ones in all the markets we serve.

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 major customers, 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, information systems disruptions, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving 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.
