1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hickok Incorporated and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies other than the adoption of the new standard for leases, as discussed in Note 2 below.

 

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including transaction costs related to acquisitions that were reclassified from selling, general and administrative to other (income) expenses as these costs are not considered as operating costs. 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

 

The Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is provided with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
The Company did not incur any material impact to its results of operations due to the adoption of any new accounting standards during the periods reported. The adoption of the new standard for leases did have a material impact on consolidated balance sheets as disclosed below and in Note 9.

 

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 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. 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.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

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 and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard could have 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 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard could have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

   

 

 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 $35,750 and $35,000 at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

 

 

 

 

4.  INVENTORY

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value and consists of:

 

 

 

 

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

Intangible assets relate to the purchase of businesses. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed on an annual basis for impairment. Amortization of intangibles is being amortized on a straight-line basis over period ranging from one year to 15 years. Intangible assets are as follows:

 

  

Amortization of intangibles assets was: $93,591 and $217,257 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

                               

 

 

 

6.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated over their useful lives. Maintenance and repair costs are expenses as incurred. Property, plant and equipment are as follows:

 

 

Depreciation expense was $400,601 and $139,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

 

 

 

 

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 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.  Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins of (i) 0.00% for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 2.00% for LIBOR loans. The maturity date of the revolving facility is June 1, 2020. 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: 

 

 

 

 

 

8. NOTES PAYABLE

 

Convertible Notes Payable - Related Party

The Company is party to a Convertible Loan Agreement (as amended, “Convertible Loan”) with Roundball, LLC (“Roundball”). The Convertible Loan provides approximately $467,000 of liquidity to meet  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 0.34%.  Borrowings under the Convertible Loan mature December 30, 2019.  Roundball, a major shareholder of the Company, is an affiliate of Steven Rosen and Matthew Crawford, who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

The Convertible Loan provides Roundball with the option to elect to convert amounts outstanding under the Convertible Loan into Class A Common Shares at a conversion price of $1.43 per Class A Common Share. In December 2018, the Convertible Loan was amended to provide Roundball with the option to elect 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.

 

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

 

In connection with the Convertible Loan, 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 expires on December 30, 2019.

 

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. 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. First Francis is owned by Edward Crawford and Matthew Crawford, who serve on the Board of Directors of the Company. 

 

 

Notes Payable – Seller Note

Effective July 1, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of CAD 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 (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 became 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 the quarter ending 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.

  

 

Notes payable consists of the following:

 

 

 

 

9. LEASES

 

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 and finance 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.

12. DISPOSITIONS  

 

Effective June 1, 2018, the Company completed the sale (the “Sale”) of certain assets comprising its Test and Measurement business segment (the “Test and Measurement Segment”) to Hickok Waekon, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Buyer”), pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and among Buyer, the Company, Supreme Electronics Corp., a Mississippi corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Supreme”), Waekon Corporation, an Ohio corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Waekon Corporation”), and Robert L.
