ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Corporate Name Change

In connection with the sale of certain assets comprising its Test and Measurement business segment to Hickok Waekon, LLC, Hickok Incorporated agreed to take commercially reasonable efforts to change its name to one or more names that do not include “Hickok” or “Waekon” or any derivation thereof.

Buyer granted the Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, non-assignable, worldwide, royalty-free license to utilize the “Hickok” trademark and trade name in its business during a post-closing period following the closing of the Transaction. Buyer granted the Company a similar license to use the “Hickok-Inc.com” domain name during such post-closing period. On May 15, 2019, Hickok Incorporated changed its name to Crawford United Corporation and its trading symbol for its Class A Common Shares to “CRAWA.”

General Development of Business

Crawford United was founded in 1910 and organized in 1915 as an Ohio corporation, and first offered its securities to the public in 1959. Except as otherwise stated, the terms "Company" or "Crawford United" as used herein mean Crawford United and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CAD Enterprises Inc., Data Genomix LLC, Federal Hose Manufacturing LLC, Crawford AE LLC, doing business as Air Enterprises, and Supreme Electronics Corp. Crawford United is a publicly traded holding company serving diverse markets, including healthcare, education, automotive, aerospace, trucking, and petrochemical.

Aerospace Components:
The Aerospace Components segment was added July 1, 2018, when the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD Enterprises, Inc. (“CAD”) in Phoenix, Arizona. This segment manufactures precision components primarily for customers in the aerospace industry. This segment provides complete end-to-end engineering, machining, grinding, welding, brazing, heat treat and assembly solutions. Utilizing state-of-the-art machining and welding technologies, this segment is an industry leader in providing complex components produced from nickel-based superalloys and stainless steels. Our quality certifications include ISO 9001:2015/AS9100D, as well as Nadcap accreditation for Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), Heat Treating/Braze, Non-Conventional Machining EDM, TIG/E-Beam welding.

Commercial Air Handling:
The Commercial Air Handling segment was added June 1, 2017, when the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Air Enterprises Acquisition LLC in Akron, Ohio. The acquired business, which operates under the name Air Enterprises, is an industry leader in designing, manufacturing and installing large-scale commercial, institutional, and industrial custom air handling solutions. Its customers are typically in the health care, education, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing markets in the United States. This segment also sells to select international markets. The custom air handling units are constructed of non-corrosive aluminum, resulting in sustainable, long-lasting, and energy efficient solutions with life expectancies of 50 years or more. These products are distributed through a network of sales representatives, based on relationships with health care networks, building contractors and engineering firms. The custom air handling equipment is designed, manufactured and installed under the brand names FactoryBilt® and SiteBilt®. FactoryBilt® air handling solutions are designed, fabricated and assembled in a vertically integrated process entirely within the Akron, Ohio facility. SiteBilt® air handling solutions are designed and fabricated in Akron, but are then crated and shipped to the field and assembled on-site.

Industrial Hose:

The Industrial Hose segment was added July 1, 2016, when the Company purchased the assets of Federal Hose Manufacturing, LLC in Painesville, Ohio. This business segment includes the manufacture of flexible interlocking metal hoses and the distribution of silicone and hydraulic hoses. Metal hoses are sold primarily to major heavy-duty truck manufacturers and major aftermarket suppliers in North America. Metal hoses are also sold into the agricultural, industrial and petrochemical markets. Silicone hoses are distributed to a number of industries in North America, including agriculture and general industrial markets.

Table of Contents

Test and Measurement:

The Test and Measurement segment is the legacy business that was started in 1910 when the Company was founded, and was sold on June 1, 2018. This business segment included electronic testing products designed and manufactured for the automotive and trucking industries and includes indicators and gauges for the locomotive and aircraft industries. The automotive diagnostic products were sold to original equipment manufacturers and to the aftermarket under several brand names and through a variety of distribution methods. In the aircraft industry, primary customers were manufacturers of commercial, military and personal airplanes. In the locomotive industry, indicators and gauges were sold to manufacturers and servicers of railroad equipment and locomotives.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

Raw materials essential to the business segments are acquired from a large number of domestic manufacturers and some materials are purchased from European and Southeast Asian sources.

The Aerospace Components segment uses various materials in the manufacture of its products, the most significant being forgings and castings. Two suppliers provide over 50% of inventory purchases in this segment. If any one of these sources of supply were interrupted for any reason, the Company would need to devote additional time and expense in obtaining the same volume of supply from its other qualified sources.

The Industrial Hose segment uses various materials in the manufacture of its products, including steel fittings and hose packing consisting of silicone, cotton and copper wire. Two suppliers provide over 50% of inventory purchases in this segment. If any one of these sources of supply were interrupted for any reason, the Company would need to devote additional time and expense in obtaining the same volume of supply from its other qualified sources.

Aluminum, the major raw material used in construction of the Commercial Air Handling units, is sourced from one major supplier but is generally readily available from other sources. Copper is used by suppliers of a major component used in the product and the Company maintains relationships with three suppliers of these components to limit vulnerability. The Company maintains relationships with multiple suppliers for most of the other componentry used in assembly of the product, in order to maintain best costs for material and competitive lead times. The majority of materials for this segment are sourced domestically or from Canada.

The Company believes it has adequate sources of supply for its primary raw materials and components and has not had difficulty in obtaining the raw materials, component parts or finished goods from its suppliers.

Importance of Patents, Licenses, Franchises, Trademarks and Concessions

The Company had a number of patents that related to the Test and Measurement segment that was divested in June 2018. There are no significant patents associated with the Company’s existing operations. Other than the names “Federal Hose” and “Air Enterprises” and the FactoryBilt® and SiteBilt® registered trademarks, the Company does not have any material licenses, franchises or concessions.

Seasonality

In light of the markets served by its products, the Company does not believe that its Aerospace Components, Industrial Hose, or Commercial Air Handling businesses are seasonal in nature. The Company believes that seasonality impacted the Test and Measurement segment based upon the automotive aftermarket revenues, as the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year tend to be weaker than the other two quarters in this market. Since the sale of this segment in June 2018, this seasonality has not affected operating results.

Dependence on Customers

For the year ended December 31, 2019, sales to three customers in the Commercial Air Handling segment were 12% of consolidated sales of the Company, while one customer in the Aerospace Components segment accounted for 29% of consolidated sales. For the year ended December 31, 2018, sales to two customers in the Commercial Air Handling segment were 14% of consolidated sales of the Company, while one customer in the Aerospace Components segment accounted for 18% of consolidated sales. The Company has long-term contractual relationships with a large customer in the Aerospace Components segment.

Competitive Conditions

The Company is engaged in highly competitive industries and faces competition from domestic and international firms. Competition in the Industrial Hose segment comes from domestic and international suppliers. The Company believes that its products in this segment are largely commodities, but the Company’s products are differentiated by a well-known brand name and excellent customer service. Competition in the Commercial Air Handling segment comes from both custom and non-custom air handling solution manufacturers. The Company believes that it has a strong competitive position due to the high quality and long life of the Company’s customized aluminum air handling solutions. Competition in the Aerospace Components segment comes from other domestic and international components manufacturers; however, the Company believes that it has a strong competitive position due to its expertise, certifications, long term customer contracts, and reputation for excellent quality.

Number of Persons Employed

Total employment by the Company was 271 full-time employees at December 31, 2019, compared to was 275 full-time employees at December 31, 2018.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with the information included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the SEC. The risks and uncertainties described below are those that we have identified as material, but are not the only risks and uncertainties facing us. Our business is also subject to general risks and uncertainties that affect many other companies, such as market conditions, economic conditions, geopolitical events, changes in laws, regulations or accounting rules, fluctuations in interest rates, terrorism, wars or conflicts, major health concerns, natural disasters or other disruptions of expected business conditions. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial also may impair our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

Conditions in the global economy, the particular markets we serve and the financial markets may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We may experience substantial increases and decreases in business volume throughout economic cycles. Industries we serve, including the heavy-duty truck, industrial equipment, aircraft, health care, education, pharmaceutical, industrial manufacturing, agricultural, and petrochemical industries are sensitive to general economic conditions. Slower global economic growth, volatility in the currency and credit markets, high levels of unemployment or underemployment, reduced levels of capital expenditures, changes or anticipation of potential changes in government trade, fiscal, tax and monetary policies, public health crises, changes in capital requirements for financial institutions, government deficit reduction and budget negotiation dynamics, sequestration, austerity measures and other challenges that affect the global economy may adversely affect us and our distributors, customers and suppliers, including having the effect of:

	●	reducing demand for our products, limiting the financing available to our customers and suppliers, increasing order cancellations and resulting in longer sales cycles and slower adoption of new technologies;

	●	increasing the difficulty in collecting accounts receivable and the risk of excess and obsolete inventories;

	●	increasing price competition in our served markets;

	●	supply interruptions, which could disrupt our ability to produce our products;

	●	increasing the risk that counterparties to our contractual arrangements will become insolvent or otherwise unable to fulfill their contractual obligations; and

	●	adversely impacting market sizes and growth rates.

Table of Contents

If growth in the global economy or in any of the markets we serve slows for a significant period, if there is significant deterioration in the global economy or such markets or if improvements in the global economy do not benefit the markets we serve, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

Significant developments or uncertainties stemming from U.S. laws and policies, including changes in U.S. trade policies, tariffs and the reaction of other countries thereto, could have an adverse effect on our business.

Changes, potential changes or uncertainties in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where we or our customers operate, could adversely affect our business and financial results. For example, the U.S. administration has increased tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States, raising the possibility of imposing significant, additional tariff increases and substantial changes to trade agreements. These factors have adversely affected, and in the future could further adversely affect, our business and results of operations. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions on products and materials that we or our customers and suppliers export or import could affect demand for our products. Direct or indirect consequences of tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or other trade restrictions may also alter the competitive landscape of our products in one or more regions of the world. Trade tensions or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Decreased availability or increased costs of materials could increase our costs of producing our products.

We purchase raw materials, fabricated components, some finished goods and services from a variety of suppliers. Where appropriate, we employ contracts with our suppliers, both domestic and international. From time to time, however, the prices, availability, or quality of these materials fluctuate due to global market demands, import duties and tariffs, economic conditions, or other conditions such as public health crises, which could impair our ability to procure necessary materials or increase the cost of these materials. For example, in December 2019 and January 2020, an outbreak of a new strain of Coronavirus in Wuhan, China, has resulted in travel disruption and an impact on corporate operations in China. At this point, the exact extent to which the Coronavirus may impact our supply chain or results of operations is uncertain; however, our operational results may suffer and our revenues may be impacted in 2020 as a result of the Coronavirus outbreak. Further, inflationary and other increases in costs of materials have occurred in the past and may recur from time to time. In addition, freight costs associated with shipping products and receiving materials are impacted by fluctuations in the cost of oil and gas. A reduction in the supply or increase in the cost or change in quality of those materials could impact our ability to manufacture our products and could increase the cost of production, which could negatively impact our revenues and profitability.

Our growth could suffer if the markets into which we sell our products decline, do not grow as anticipated or experience cyclicality.

Our growth depends in part on the growth of the markets which we serve. Our quarterly sales and profits depend substantially on the volume and timing of orders received during the fiscal quarter, which are difficult to forecast. Any decline or lower than expected growth in our served markets could diminish demand for our products and services, which would adversely affect our financial results. Certain of our businesses operate in industries that may experience seasonality or other periodic, cyclical downturns. Demand for our products is also sensitive to changes in customer order patterns, which may be affected by announced price changes, marketing, new product introductions, changes in distributor or customer inventory levels due to distributor or customer management thereof or other factors. Any of these factors could adversely affect our growth and results of operations in any given period.

We are engaged in highly competitive industries and if we are unable to compete effectively, we may experience decreased demand and decreased market share.

Our businesses operate in industries that are highly competitive. In order to compete effectively, we must retain longstanding relationships with major customers and continue to grow our business by establishing relationships with new customers, continually developing new products to maintain and expand our brand recognition and position in various product categories and penetrating new markets, including high-growth markets. Our failure to compete effectively and/or pricing pressures resulting from competition may adversely impact our financial results.

Adverse credit market conditions may significantly affect our access to capital, cost of capital and ability to meet liquidity needs.

Disruptions, uncertainty or volatility in the credit markets may adversely impact our ability to access credit already arranged and the availability and cost of credit to us in the future. These market conditions may limit our ability to replace, in a timely manner, maturing liabilities and access the capital necessary to grow and maintain our business. Accordingly, we may be forced to delay raising capital or pay unattractive interest rates, which could increase our interest expense, decrease our profitability and significantly reduce our financial flexibility. Longer-term disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could adversely affect our access to liquidity needed for our business. Any disruption could require us to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for our business needs can be arranged. Such measures could include deferring capital expenditures or other discretionary uses of cash. Overall, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be materially adversely affected by disruptions in the credit markets.

Table of Contents

Our revolving credit facility contains various covenants limiting the discretion of our management in operating our business, including requiring us to maintain a maximum fixed charge coverage ratio.

Our revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants and restrictions, including financial covenants that limit management’s discretion in operating our business. In particular, these instruments limit our ability to, among other things:

	●	incur additional debt;

	●	grant liens on assets;

	●	make investments, including capital expenditures;

	●	sell or acquire assets outside the ordinary course of business;

	●	engage in transactions with affiliates; and

	●	make fundamental business changes.

The revolving credit facility also requires us to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00. If we fail to comply with the restrictions in the revolving credit facility or any other current or future financing agreements, a default may allow the creditors under the relevant agreements to accelerate the related debts and to exercise their remedies under these agreements, which typically will include the right to declare the principal amount of that debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and other related amounts, immediately due and payable, to exercise any remedies the creditors may have to foreclose on assets that are subject to liens securing that debt, and to terminate any commitments they had made to supply further funds. The exercise of any default remedies by our creditors would have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance working capital needs and capital expenditures.

We are dependent on key customers.

We rely on several key customers. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 53% of our net sales. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 50% of our net sales. Due to competitive issues, we have lost key customers in the past and may again in the future. Customer orders are dependent upon their markets and may be subject to delays or cancellations. As a result of dependence on our key customers, we could experience a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations if any of the following were to occur:

	●	the loss of any key customer, in whole or in part;

	●	the insolvency or bankruptcy of any key customer;

	●	a declining market in which customers reduce orders or demand reduced prices; or

	●	a strike or work stoppage at a key customer facility, which could affect both their suppliers and customers.

If any of our key customers become insolvent or file for bankruptcy, our ability to recover accounts receivable from that customer would be adversely affected and any payments we received in the preference period prior to a bankruptcy filing may be potentially forfeitable, which could adversely impact our results of operations.

Our acquisition of businesses could negatively impact our financial results.

As part of our business strategy we acquire businesses. Acquisitions involve a number of financial, accounting, managerial, operational, legal, compliance and other risks and challenges, including the following, any of which could adversely affect our business and our financial results:

	●	any business that we acquire could under-perform relative to our expectations and the price that we paid or not perform in accordance with our anticipated timetable, or we could fail to operate any such business profitably;

	●	acquisitions could cause our financial results to differ from our own or the investment community’s expectations in any given period, or over the long-term;

	●	pre-closing and post-closing earnings charges could adversely impact operating results in any given period, and the impact may be substantially different from period-to-period;

	●	acquisitions could create demands on our management, operational resources and financial and internal control systems that we are unable to effectively address;

	●	we could experience difficulty in integrating personnel, operations and financial and other controls and systems and retaining key employees and customers;

	●	we may be unable to achieve cost savings or other synergies anticipated in connection with an acquisition; or

	●	we may assume unknown liabilities, known contingent liabilities that become realized, known liabilities that prove greater than anticipated or internal control deficiencies from the acquired company’s activities and the realization of any of these liabilities or deficiencies may increase our expenses or adversely affect our financial position.

Table of Contents

Future claims, litigation and regulatory actions could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to conduct our business.

While we strive to ensure that our products comply with applicable government regulatory standards and internal requirements and that our products perform effectively and safely, customers from time to time could claim that our products do not meet contractual requirements, and users could be harmed by use or misuse of our products. This could give rise to breach of contract, warranty or recall claims, or claims for negligence, product liability, strict liability, personal injury or property damage. Product liability insurance coverage may not be available or adequate in all circumstances. In addition, claims may arise related to patent infringement, environmental liabilities, distributor terminations, commercial contracts, antitrust or competition law, employment law and employee benefits issues and other regulatory matters. While we have in place processes and policies to mitigate these risks and to investigate and address such claims as they arise, we cannot predict the underlying costs to defend or resolve such claims.

Our business operations could be significantly disrupted by the loss of any members of our senior management team and segment leaders.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management team and segment leaders. Our senior management team has extensive marketing, sales, manufacturing, finance and engineering experience, and we believe that the depth of our management team is instrumental to our continued success. The loss of any of our key managers in the future could significantly impede our ability to successfully implement our business strategy, financial plans, expansion of services, marketing and other objectives.

A significant disruption in, or breach in security of, our information technology systems or data could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations.

We rely on information technology systems to process, transmit and store electronic information (including sensitive data such as confidential business information and personally identifiable data relating to employees and customers), and to manage or support a variety of critical business processes and activities (such as receiving and fulfilling orders, billing, collecting and making payments, shipping products and fulfilling contractual obligations). These systems may be damaged, disrupted or shut down due to attacks by computer hackers, computer viruses, ransomware, human error or malfeasance, power outages, hardware failures, telecommunication or utility failures, catastrophes or other unforeseen events, and in any such circumstances our system redundancy and other disaster recovery planning may be ineffective or inadequate. Security breaches could result in the misappropriation, destruction or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information or personal data belonging to us or to our employees, customers or suppliers. Our information technology systems may be exposed to computer viruses, malicious codes, unauthorized access and other cyber-attacks and we expect the sophistication and frequency of such attacks to continue to increase. Any of the attacks, breaches or other disruptions or damage described above could interrupt our operations or the operations of our customers, delay production and shipments, result in theft of our and our customers’ intellectual property and trade secrets, damage customer and employee relationships and our reputation or result in defective products, legal claims and proceedings, liability and penalties under privacy laws and increased costs for security and remediation, each of which could adversely affect our business, reputation and results of operations.

Our business is subject to a variety of domestic and international laws, rules, policies and other obligations regarding data protection.

The processing and storage of certain information is increasingly subject to privacy and data security regulations and many such regulations are country-specific. The interpretation and application of data protection laws in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere, including but not limited to the California Consumer Privacy Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (the “GDPR”), are uncertain, evolving and may be inconsistent among jurisdictions. Complying with these various laws may be difficult and could cause us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices in a manner adverse to our business. We may be required to expend additional resources to continue to enhance our information privacy and security measures, investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities and/or comply with regulatory requirements.

Changes in foreign, cultural, political and financial market conditions could impair the Company’s operations and financial performance.

The economies of foreign countries important to the Company’s operations could suffer slower economic growth or economic, social and/or political instability or hyperinflation in the future. The Company’s international operations, including sourcing operations (and the international operations of the Company’s customers), are subject to inherent risks which could adversely affect the Company, including, among other things:

●

protectionist policies restricting or impairing the manufacturing, sales or import and export of the Company’s products, including tariffs and countermeasures;

●

new restrictions on access to markets;

●

lack of developed infrastructure;

●

inflation (including hyperinflation) or recession;

●

devaluations or fluctuations in the value of currencies;

●

changes in and the burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of laws and regulations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, tax laws, accounting standards, trade protection measures and import and export licensing requirements, environmental laws and occupational health and safety laws;

●

social, political or economic instability;

●

acts of war and terrorism;

●

natural disasters or other crises;

●

reduced protection of intellectual property rights; and

●

increases in duties and taxation;

Further, on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. Because of the referendum, the British government began negotiating the terms of the United Kingdom’s future relationship with the European Union. While the European Union and United Kingdom reached an agreement on Brexit in October 2019, and the United Kingdom exited the European Union on January 31, 2020, details of the new trade and regulatory relationship are still to be finalized. There may be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the United Kingdom and European Union countries and increased regulatory complexities in the future. These changes could cause disruptions to trade and free movement of goods, services, and people to and from the United Kingdom, disruptions to the workforce or the workforce of the Company’s suppliers or business partners, increased foreign exchange volatility with respect to the British pound and additional legal, political, and economic uncertainty. The foregoing could create uncertainty surrounding the Company’s business and the business of existing and future customers and suppliers, which could increase the cost of some of the Company’s products, thereby reducing its margins. Further, the foregoing risks could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s ability to commercialize its products on a competitive basis in international markets and may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations. The Company’s small sales volume in some countries, relative to some multinational and local competitors, could exacerbate such risks.

Should any of these risks occur, the Company’s ability to sell or export its products could be impaired; the Company could experience a loss of sales and profitability from its international operations; and/or the Company could experience a substantial impairment or loss of assets, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The elimination of or change in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) may adversely affect the interest rates on and value of certain floating rate securities and other instruments that we hold.

LIBOR is a common benchmark interest rate (or reference rate) used to set and make adjustments to interest rates for certain floating rate securities and other financial instruments. Published reports have indicated that regulatory authorities and/or financial institutions may change how LIBOR is calculated or discontinue its calculation and publication after 2021. Alternative reference rates have been developed, including The Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), but the acceptance of such alternative rates and their applicability to existing instruments is uncertain. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from current methods for any reason, outstanding securities with interest rates tied to LIBOR may be adversely affected if those securities either do not provide for the automatic substitution of another reference rate or convert to another reference rate or a fixed rate that could be less favorable to us. Outstanding securities and contracts that could be affected include certain preferred stocks and other floating rate securities, fixed rate securities that may convert to LIBOR-based floating rate instruments in the future, certain derivatives, and any other assets or liabilities whose value is tied to LIBOR. Any uncertainty regarding the continued use and reliability of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate could also adversely affect the value of those instruments.

Unforeseen future events may negatively impact our economic condition.

Future events may occur that would adversely affect the reported value of our assets. Such events may include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to changes in economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material adverse change in our relationship with significant customers.

DG is in the business of developing and commercializing marketing and data analytic technology applications. The results of this acquisition are reported under the Corporate and Other segment.

Accordingly, in light of the timing of these transactions, the Company’s results for the year ended on December 31, 2019 include operations in the Aerospace Components segment and operations of DG in the Corporate and Other segment, but not in the Test and Measurement segment. Conversely, our results for the year ended December 31, 2018 include operations in the Test and Measurement segment, but not in the operations of DG in the Corporate and Other segment.

Reportable Segment Information

The Company is required to report segment information disclosures based on how management evaluates operating performance and resource allocations. The Company operates three reportable business segments: (1) Aerospace Components, (2) Commercial Air Handling, (3) and Industrial Hose. The Company operated the Test and Measurement business segment through June 1, 2018, at which time it was sold to Hickok Waekon, LLC.

Aerospace Components:

The Aerospace Components segment was added July 1, 2018, when the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD Enterprises, Inc. (“CAD”) in Phoenix, Arizona. This segment manufactures precision components primarily for customers in the aerospace industry. This segment provides complete end-to-end engineering, machining, grinding, welding, brazing, heat treat and assembly solutions. Utilizing state-of-the-art machining and welding technologies, this segment is an industry leader in providing complex components produced from nickel-based superalloys and stainless steels. Our quality certifications include ISO 9001:2015/AS9100D, as well as Nadcap accreditation for Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI), Heat Treating/Braze, Non-Conventional Machining EDM, TIG/E-Beam welding.

Industrial Hose:

The Industrial Hose segment was added July 1, 2016, when the Company purchased the assets of the Federal Hose Manufacturing, LLC in Painesville, Ohio. This business segment includes the manufacture of flexible interlocking metal hoses and the distribution of silicone and hydraulic hoses. Metal hoses are sold primarily to major heavy-duty truck manufacturers and major aftermarket suppliers in North America. Metal hoses are also sold into the agricultural, industrial and petrochemical markets. Silicone hoses are distributed to a number of industries in North America, including agriculture and general industrial markets.

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared with Year ended December 31, 2018

Sales for the year ended December 31, 2019 (“current year”) increased to $89.7 million, an increase of approximately $23.3 million or 35% from sales of $66.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2018 (“prior year”). This increase in sales was primarily attributable to results from the Aerospace Components segment acquired on July 1, 2018, as well organic growth, primarily from the Commercial Air Handling segment.

Cost of sales for the current year was $70.1 million compared to $51.1 million in the prior year, an increase of $19.0 million or 37%. Gross profit was $19.6 million in the current year compared to $15.3 million in the prior year, an increase of $4.3 million. The increase in cost of sales and gross profit was attributable to the addition of the Aerospace Components segment and stronger performance in the Commercial Air Handling segment.

There were no product development expenditures during the current year as those expenditures historically were related to the Test and Measurement segment which was divested in June 2018. The company had $0.2 million of product and development expenditures in the prior year, which were made prior to the divestiture of the Test and Measurement business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the current year were $9.1 million, or 10% of sales, compared to $7.8 million, or 12% of sales, in the prior year. SG&A expenses increased due to higher selling expenses to support sales growth, and decreased as a percentage of sales due to the sale of the Test and Measurement segment. SG&A costs are comprised of sales and administrative salaries, commissions, professional services, intangible asset amortization, and other costs not directly associated with manufacturing of products.

Interest charges in the current year were approximately $1.1 million compared to $0.8 million in the prior year. The increase in interest expense was primarily related to the increase in weighted outstanding debt for the current year resulting from the acquisition of the Aerospace Components segment on July 1, 2018, in addition to the higher weighted average interest rate in the current year.

There was no loss on the sale of business in the current year, as compared to $1.2 million loss in the prior year. The loss on the sale of business is directly related to the sale of certain assets of the Company comprising its Test and Measurement segment on June 1, 2018.

Other expense, net was $34 thousand in the current year compared to $123 thousand of other expense, net in the prior year. Other (income) expense, net was comprised of rental income, gains and losses on the disposal of assets, legal settlements, transaction costs and other miscellaneous charges. The decrease is primarily related to fewer merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activities compared to the prior year.

Income tax expense in the current year was $2.4 million compared to $1.7 million in the prior year. Income tax expense increased due to higher income in the current year. Tax expense is recorded at the Company’s expected effective tax rate of 26% in the current year as compared to 32% in the prior year.

Net income for the current year was $7.0 million, or $2.13 per diluted share compared to a net income of $3.6 million, or $1.14 per diluted share in the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As described further in Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements, effective July 1, 2018, we completed the CAD acquisition for an aggregate purchase price of $21 million, $12 million of which was payable in cash at closing, with the remainder paid in the form of a subordinated promissory note issued by the Company in favor of a seller, which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on working capital, indebtedness and selling expenses. In connection with that transaction, we amended our credit agreement to, among other things, increase the maximum availability under our revolving credit facility to $12 million, and to increase the amount of our term loan to $6 million. We also amended our promissory notes payable to First Francis Company Inc. (“First Francis”) to increase the interest rate payable from 4.0% to 6.25%, and to provide First Francis with the right to convert up to $648,000 principal amount of one note into shares of Class B Common shares at a conversion price of $6.48 per share, subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on May 10, 2019. Subsequently, we also amended our outstanding convertible loan with Roundball to provide Roundball LLC (“Roundball”) with the option to convert, subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on May 10, 2019, a portion of the indebtedness into Class B Common Shares at a conversion price of $1.43 per Class B Common Share, up to a maximum amount of 75,000 Class B Common Shares.

Table of Contents

On July 9, 2019, First Francis exercised its option to convert $648,000 of existing indebtedness into 100,000 Class B Common Shares of the Company.

On December 11, 2019, Roundball provided notice to the Company of its exercise of the conversion option (the “Conversion Option”) with respect to amounts outstanding under the promissory note between the Company and Roundball, dated December 30, 2011, and issued in the aggregate original principal amount of $466,880 (the “Promissory Note”). On December 18, 2019, the Company issued 75,000 Class B Shares and 251,489 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Shares”) to Roundball following the Company’s receipt on December 11, 2019, of a notice from Roundball of its exercise of the Conversion Option in respect of $466,880 of the principal and interest amount outstanding under the Promissory Note between the Company and Roundball, thereupon retiring all outstanding debt incurred and accrued interest under the Promissory Note. On December 11, 2019, Roundball exercised the warrants issued pursuant to the Warrant Agreement dated December 30, 2012 (as amended) between the Company and Roundball for 100,000 of the Company’s Class A Shares at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $250,000.

On September 30, 2019, we amended our credit agreement, dated as of June 1, 2017, by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, increase the maximum availability under our revolving credit facility from $12 million to $20 million, and to extend the maturity of the revolving loan from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2024. On December 30, 2019, we amended our Credit Agreement to remove the borrowing base requirement. Management believes the increase of the revolving credit facility and other modifications to the loan agreement provided additional flexibility to fund acquisitions, working capital and other strategic initiatives.

Total current assets at December 31, 2019 increased to $27.0 million from $23.3 million at December 31, 2018, an increase of $3.8 million. The increase in current assets is comprised of the following: an increase in accounts receivable of $4.2 million, an increase in inventories of $2.2 million and an increase in contract assets of $0.3 million offset by a decrease in cash of $2.8 million. Fluctuations in accounts receivable and contract assets related to the Commercial Air Handling division are dependent upon progress billing milestones for contracts.

Total current liabilities at December 31, 2019 decreased to $16.3 million from $16.9 million at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $0.6 million. Changes in current liabilities are comprised of the following: an increase of short term notes payable of $0.9 million, an increase in current leases payable of $0.8 million, an increase in accounts payable of $0.9 million, offset by a decrease in contract liabilities (included in unearned revenue on the balance sheet) of $3.3 million and a decrease in convertible notes of $0.2 million. The increase in leases payable is related to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard adopted January 1, 2019 as discussed in Note 1 and Note 9 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The increase in notes payable reflects required principal payments due in the next twelve months related to the CAD seller note. Fluctuations in contract liabilities related to the Commercial Air Handling division are dependent upon progress billing milestones for contracts.

Cash provided by operating activities in the current year was approximately $0.9 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $10.3 million in the same period a year ago. Cash provided by operating activities for the current year is comprised of the following: net income of $7.0 million and adjustments for non-cash items of $3.0 million, offset by cash used for working capital adjustments of $9.1 million. The primary uses of working capital were the increase in accounts receivable of $4.2 million, the increase in inventory of $2.2 million, and the decrease in contract liability (included in unearned revenue) of $3.3 million, offset by the increase in accounts payable of $0.7 million. Fluctuations in accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billing related to the Commercial Air Handling division are dependent upon the timing of achievement of progress billing milestones for contracts.

Cash used in investing activities for the current year of $0.8 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $11.7 million in prior year. Cash used in investing activities in the current year was for the purchase of DG in April 2019 and capital expenditures in the normal course of business. Cash used in investing activities in the prior year was for the purchase CAD in July 2018 and capital expenditures in the normal course of business.

Cash used in financing activities was approximately $2.9 million for the current year, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $4.0 million in the prior year. Cash used by financing activities for the current year was primarily related to: $1.6 million for payments against notes and $1.8 million for net payments against bank debt, offset by $0.3 million proceeds from the Roundball borrowing and $0.3 million from proceeds from the Roundball warrant exercise. Cash provided by financing activities for the prior year was primarily related to: $9.0 million seller note entered into in connection with the acquisition of CAD and $14.2 million borrowed against bank debt ($12.0 million directly related to the acquisition of CAD). The increases in borrowings were offset by the $9.8 million repayment against bank debt and the $0.4 million repayments for the notes.

The Company expects positive cash flow from operations to be sufficient to fund working capital needs and service principal and interest payments due related to the bank debt and notes payable. In addition, the Company had $16.2 million available to borrow on the revolving credit facility at December 31, 2019. See Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the Company has adequate liquidity for debt service, working capital, capital expenditures and other strategic initiatives.

These bonds are secured by certain assets of the Company by the surety until the Company's completion of the requirements of the commercial air handling contract. At December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any active surety bonds for which performance and payment not been satisfied. The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303 paragraph (a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Impact of Inflation

Over the past five years, inflation has had a minimal effect on the Company because of low rates of inflation.

Crawford United Corporation

Cleveland, Ohio

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Crawford United Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows, for the years then ended, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CRAWFORD UNITED CORPORATION
DECEMBER 31, 2019 AND 2018

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crawford United and its wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the financial position or results of operations reported as of and for the periods presented.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Under the new standard, disclosures are required to meet the objective of enabling users of financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition for capital or operating leases existing at or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, but it does not require transition accounting for leases that expire prior to the date of initial application. The new standard was effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this new standard on January 1, 2019 resulted in assets of $9.7 million recorded as Operating Right of Use Assets, net, and additional lease liabilities of $9.8 million. The Company also recorded an adjustment to retained earnings resulting from the cumulative effect of the change in accounting of ($0.1) million. See Note 9 for further information.

Table of Contents

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, "Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment." ASU 2017-04 eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard, which should be applied prospectively, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-04 on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on the consolidated financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company sells its products and services primarily to customers in the United States of America and to a lesser extent overseas. All sales are made in U.S. dollars. The Company extends normal credit terms to its customers. For the year ended December 31, 2019, sales to three customers in the Commercial Air Handling segment were 12% of consolidated sales of the Company, while one customer in the Aerospace Components segment accounted for 29% of consolidated sales. For the year ended December 31, 2018, there were sales to one customer in the Aerospace segment that were greater than 18% of the consolidated sales of the company.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and convertible notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following standards and recognizes revenue when (1) it has a firm contract and the parties are committed to perform their respective obligations, (2) the product has been shipped to and accepted by the customer or the service has been provided, (3) the sales price is fixed or determinable and (4) amounts are reasonably assured of collection, including the consideration of the customer’s ability and intention to pay when the amount is due. The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. The Company does not have any significant financing components as payment is received at or shortly after the point of sale. Costs incurred to obtain a contract will be expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.

Construction Contracts

The Company recognizes revenue on construction contracts over time; as performance obligations are satisfied, due to the continuous transfer of control to the customer. The customer typically controls the work in process, as evidenced by the contract. The Company’s construction contracts are generally accounted for as a single performance obligation, since the Company is providing a significant service of integrating components into a single project. The Company recognizes revenue using a cost-based input method, by which actual costs incurred relative to total estimated contract costs determine, as a percentage, progress toward contract completion. This percentage is applied to the transaction price to determine the amount of revenue to recognize. The Company believes the cost-based input method is the best depiction of performance, because it directly measures the value of the services transferred to the customer. Revenues on uninstalled materials are recognized when control is transferred to the customer, which does not necessarily equate to when the cost is incurred.

The payment terms of the Company’s construction contracts from time to time require the customer to make advance payments as well as interim payments as work progresses. The advance payment generally is not considered a significant financing component as the Company expect to recognize those amounts in revenue within a year of receipt as work progresses on the related performance obligation.

Contract Estimates

Due to the nature of the Company’s performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. Since a significant change in one or more of these variables could affect the profitability of contracts, the Company reviews and updates contract-related estimates regularly through a review process in which the Company reviews the progress and execution of performance obligations and the estimated cost at completion.

The Company recognizes adjustments in estimated profit on contracts under the cumulative catch-up method. Under this method, the impact of the adjustment on profit recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. Revenue and profit in future periods of contract performance is recognized using the adjusted estimate. If at any time the estimate of contract profitability indicates an anticipated loss on the contract, a provision for the entire loss is recognized in the period it is identified.

Contract Modifications

Contract modifications are routine in the performance of the Company’s contracts. Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct, and, therefore, are accounted for as part of the existing contract.

Table of Contents

Variable Consideration

The nature of the Company’s contracts can give rise to several types of variable consideration, including claims, unpriced change orders, and liquidated damages and penalties. The Company recognizes revenue for variable consideration when it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. The Company estimates the amount of revenue to be recognized on variable consideration using the expected value (i.e., the sum of a probability-weighted amount) or the most likely amount method, whichever is expected to better predict the amount.

Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on assessment of legal enforceability, past performance, and all information (historical, current, and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.

Cost and Expense Recognition

Contract costs include all direct labor, materials, subcontractor, and equipment costs, and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, tools and supplies. For construction contracts, costs are generally recognized as incurred.

Unearned Revenue

Unearned revenue consists of customer deposits and contract liabilities related to the Commercial Air Handling segment.

Disaggregation of Revenue

Revenue earned over time was $51.6 million and $41.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. Revenue earned at a point in time was $38.1 million and $24.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Deferred Commissions

Commissions are earned based on the status of the contract. Commissions are paid upon receipt of payment for units shipped.

Product Warranties

The Company provides a warranty for its custom air handling business covering parts for 12 months from startup or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first. The warranty reserve is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb potential warranties incurred. The amount of the reserve is based on management’s knowledge of the contracts and historical trends. Because of the uncertainties involved in the contracts, it is reasonably possible that management’s estimates may change in the near term. However, the amount of change that is reasonably possible cannot be precisely estimated at this time.

Product Development Costs
Product development costs, which include engineering production support for the test and measurement business segment, are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time the Company maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC limits.

Accounts Receivable
The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.

Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The Company establishes reserves for excess and obsolete inventory based upon historical inventory usage trends and other information.

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. The depreciation policy of the Company is generally as follows:

Class	Method	Estimated Useful Lives (years)

Buildings & Improvements	Straight-line	10	to	40
Machinery and equipment	Straight-line	3	to	20
Tools and dies	Straight-line		3

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets such as property, plant and equipment and software are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the total of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, a loss is recognized for the difference between the fair value and carrying value of the asset.

Table of Contents

Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are classified as cost of product sold.

Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed on domestic financial statement income. Where transactions are included in the determination of taxable income in a different year, deferred income tax accounting is used.

The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus any change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.

Income per Common Share
Income per common share information is computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period.

3. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The reserve for doubtful accounts was $18,325 and $35,000 at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

4. INVENTORY

7. BANK DEBT

The Company entered into a Credit Agreement on June 1, 2017 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender, which was subsequently amended in connection with funding the acquisition of CAD Enterprises, Inc. (“CAD”) on July 5, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). As amended, the Credit Agreement is comprised of a revolving facility in the amount of $12,000,000, subject to a borrowing base (determined based on 80% of Eligible Accounts, plus 50% of Eligible Progress Billing Accounts, plus 50% of Eligible Inventory, minus Reserves, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a term A loan in the amount of $6,000,000. Outstanding borrowings on the term A loan are payable in consecutive monthly installments, which currently amount to $111,111 per month. The Credit Agreement was amended on September 30, 2019 to expand the revolving loan amount from $12,000,000 to $20,000,000, subject to a borrowing base, and to extend the maturity of revolving facility from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2024. The Credit Agreement was amended on December 30, 2019 to eliminate the borrowing base.

The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement includes a $3 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit thereunder. [The Credit Agreement also provides for a separate credit line for borrowings of up to an aggregate of $1,000,000 for capital expenditures until July 5, 2019, at which time any outstanding capital expenditure borrowings will be converted into a term loan maturing at the earlier of five years after such conversion or the termination of the revolving credit facility.]² The Company did not borrow from this credit line prior to its expiration. Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins of (i) (0.25%) for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 1.75% for LIBOR loans. The maturity date of the revolving facility is June 1, 2024. Interest for borrowings under the term A loan accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins of (i) 0.25% for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 2.25% for LIBOR loans. The maturity date of the term A loan is December 1, 2022. The Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving facility of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly. The obligations of the Company and other borrowers under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and applicable reporting requirements and covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio.

Bank debt balances consist of the following:

	December 31, 2019		December 31, 2018

8. NOTES PAYABLE

Convertible Notes Payable

On December 30, 2011, management entered into a Convertible Loan Agreement (“Convertible Loan”) with Roundball, LLC (“Roundball”). The Convertible Loan provides approximately $467,000 of liquidity to meet on- going working capital requirements of the Company and allows $250,000 of borrowing on the agreement at the Company's discretion at an interest rate of 0.25%. Roundball, a major shareholder of the Company, is an affiliate of Steven Rosen and Matthew Crawford, Directors of the Company.

There have been several amendments to the original agreement over the years for the purpose of extending the existing terms of the Convertible Loan. On December 29, 2018, management entered into Amendment No. 7 of the Convertible Loan Agreement with Roundball. The amended Convertible Loan:

	●	Continues to provide approximately $467,000 of liquidity to meet on going working capital requirements;
	●	Continues to allow $250,000 of borrowing on the agreement at the Company's discretion at an interest rate of 0.34%;
	●	Expand the rights available to Roundball under the Roundball Option to include the option, exercisable by Roundball in its sole discretion, and subject to requisite shareholder approval thereof and the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase up to 75,000 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company at the Conversion Price; and
	●	Extends the due date of the loan agreement from December 30, 2018 to December 30, 2019.

As part of the Convertible Loan, the parties entered into a Warrant Agreement, dated December 30, 2012 (as amended to date, the “Warrant Agreement”), whereby the Company issued a warrant to Roundball to purchase, at its option, up to 100,000 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution and other adjustments. The Warrant Agreement, as amended, expired December 30, 2019.

On December 11, 2019, Roundball provided notice to the Company of its exercise of the Conversion Option and exercised the Warrants. On December 18, 2019, the Company issued 75,000 Class B Shares and 251,489 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “Class A Shares”) to Roundball following the Company’s receipt on December 11, 2019, of a notice from Roundball of its exercise of the Conversion Option in respect of $466,880 of the principal and interest amount outstanding under the Promissory Note between the Company and Roundball, thereupon retiring all outstanding debt incurred and accrued interest under the Promissory Note.

On December 11, 2019, Roundball exercised the Warrants for 100,000 of the Company’s Class A Shares at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, resulting in an aggregate exercise price of $250,000.

The outstanding balance on the Convertible Loan as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively was $0 and $200,000.

Notes Payable – Related Party

The Company has two separate outstanding promissory notes with First Francis Company Inc. (“First Francis”), which were originally issued in July 2016 in connection with the acquisition of Federal Hose Manufacturing (“Federal Hose”) and which were amended in July 2018 in connection with acquisition of CAD. The first promissory note was issued with original principal in the amount of $2,000,000, and the second was issued with original principal in the amount of $2,768,662. The promissory notes each have an interest rate of 6.25% per annum, which was increased from 4.0% per annum as part of the July 2018 amendments to the Credit Agreement. In addition, the promissory note with original principal amount of $2,768,662 was amended in July 2018 to provide for a conversion option commencing July 5, 2019 which allows First Francis to convert the promissory note, in whole in part with respect to a maximum amount of $648,000, into shares of the Company’s Class B common stock at the price of $6.48 per share (subject to adjustment), subject to shareholder approval which was obtained on May 10, 2019. On July 9, 2019, First Francis exercised its option to convert $648,000 of existing indebtedness into 100,000 Class B Common Shares of the Company. First Francis is owned by Matthew Crawford, who serves on the Board of Directors of the Company, and Edward Crawford, who served on the Board of Directors of the Company until June 17, 2019.

Notes Payable – Seller Note

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD. Upon the closing of the transaction, the CAD shares were transferred and assigned to the Company in consideration of the payment by the Company of an aggregate purchase price of $21 million, $12 million of which was payable in cash at closing, with the remainder paid in the form of a subordinated promissory note issued by the Company in favor of a Seller (the “Seller Note), which is subject to certain post-closing adjustments based on working capital, indebtedness and selling expenses, as specified in the Share Purchase Agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition (the “Share Purchase Agreement”). The Seller Note bears interest at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum and is payable in full no later than June 30, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date, with respect to any then-outstanding portion of the original principal amount which is subject to an indemnification claim by the Company (asserted in accordance with the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement) pending as of the date thereof, will be automatically extended until such time as any claim relating to such disputed amount is no longer pending, pursuant to the terms of the Seller Note and subject to additional conditions set forth therein and in the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company is not permitted to prepay any amounts due and owing under the Seller Note. Payment of the Seller Note is secured by a second-priority security interest in the assets of the Company. Interest accrued on the original principal amount becomes due and payable in arrears beginning September 30, 2018, and subsequent interest is due on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including June 30, 2019. The Company is required to make quarterly principal payments, the amount of which will be calculated based on a four (4) year amortization schedule, beginning on September 30, 2019 and continuing on the last day of each calendar quarter thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842),” a new standard related to leases to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. Most prominent among the amendments is the recognition of assets and liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP.

The Company has operating leases for facilities, vehicles and equipment. These leases have remaining terms of 2 years to 15 years, some of which include options to extended the leases for up to 10 years. Lease expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $1.6 million. Lease expense for operating leases under the prior leasing standards for the year ended December 31, 2018 was approximately $1.3 million.

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

10. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

There are 10,000,000 Class A Shares and 2,500,000 Class B Shares authorized, as well as 1,000,000 Serial Preferred Shares.

Unissued shares of Class A common stock (1,045,848 and 832,233 shares at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively) are reserved for the share-for-share conversion rights of the Class B common stock, stock options under the Directors Plans, conversion rights of the Convertible Promissory Note and available warrants. The Class A shares have one vote per share and the Class B shares have three votes per share, except under certain circumstances such as voting on voluntary liquidation, sale of substantially all the assets, etc. Dividends up to $0.10 per year, noncumulative, must be paid on Class A shares before any dividends are paid on Class B shares.

11. STOCK COMPENSATION

The Company's 2013 Omnibus Equity Plan (the “Plan”) was approved and adopted by an affirmative vote of a majority of the Company's Class A and Class B Shareholders and provides for the grant of the following types of incentive awards: stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares and Class A Common Shares. Those who will be eligible for awards under the Plan include employees who provide services to the Company and its affiliates, executive officers, non-employee Directors and consultants designated by the Compensation Committee. Under the Plan, 150,000 Class A Common Shares were initially reserved for issuance. The Plan was materially revised in 2019 to increase the maximum number of the Company’s Class A Common Shares, without par value, available for issuance to 400,000, providing an additional 250,000 Class A Common Shares under the Plan. This change to the Plan was approved in connection with the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Class A Common Shares may be either authorized, but unissued, common shares or treasury shares. The Company granted 12,000 and 30,333 restricted stock awards under the Plan during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Approximately 274,000 Class A Common Shares remain available for issuance under the Plan.

The Company's expired Outside Directors Stock Option Plans (collectively the "Directors Plans"), provided for the automatic grant of options to purchase up to 5,000 shares of Class A Common Stock over a three-year period to members of the Board of Directors who were not employees of the Company, at the fair market value on the date of grant. The options are exercisable for up to 10 years. All options granted under the Directors Plans became fully exercisable on March 8, 2015.

Non-cash compensation expense related to stock option plans was $348,877 and $394,933 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

As of December 31, 2019, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") were effective as of December 31, 2018 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files and submits under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that (1) pertain to maintaining records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the Company assets, (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that the Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization of the Company's management and directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or the timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposal of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company's internal controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. An internal control system no matter how well designed and operated can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Also, any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to the risk that those internal controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Crawford United is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer along with the Company's Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, as required by Rule 13a-15(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth in the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) for Small Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework for Small Public Companies, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
