SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 
1.
Basis of presentation
 
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
 
 
    The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the three months ending March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual report and the notes thereto.
 
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”).
 
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
 
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
 
 
Revenue Recognition
 
 
Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.
 
 
Inventories
 
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all cost incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition, which approximates actual cost (first-in, first-out). Market provisions in respect of net realizable value and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $524,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
 
 
    The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply.
 
 
Shipping and Handling Costs
 
 
Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.
 
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
 
 
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.
 
 
    Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:
 
Buildings and improvements                            5-39 years
 
Machinery and equipment                                5-15 years
 
Tooling                                                                  3-5 years
 
 
Income Taxes
 
 
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” SFAS No. 109 requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, a consolidated New York State income tax return and a separate Pennsylvania state income tax return.
 
 
    The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2009 or December 31, 2008, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of operations during the periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
 
Supplemental cash flow information
 
 
Income taxes paid during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $3,000 and $740,000, respectively. Interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to approximately $26,000 and $58,000, respectively.
 
 
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
 
Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.
 
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long lived assets existed at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
 
Use of Estimates
 
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
Research and Development Costs
 
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred as defined in SFAS No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs.
 
 
Concentration of Credit Risks
 
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions.
 
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurement.” This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 157 in the first quarter of 2008 which did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures. In February of 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position 157-2 which delays the effective date of SFAS 157 for non-financial assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting the provisions of SFAS 157 for our non-financial assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
    In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No.159 permits companies to elect to follow fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to mitigate volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The standard also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS 159 in 2008 and elected not to apply the fair value measurement option for any of our financial assets or liabilities.
 
 
    Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
 
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

Property, plant and equipment includes land and building under a $5,000,000 capital lease which can be purchased for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accumulated amortization on the building amounted to approximately $2,075,000 and $2,040,000, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $35,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. The associated current and long-term liabilities are discussed in Note 5, Long-term debt, of the consolidated financial statements. Depreciation expense for the period ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 amounted to $139,000 and $140,000, respectively. The Company believes that it maintains property and casualty insurance in amounts adequate for the risk and nature of its assets and operations and which are generally customary in its industry.

(A)     The Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were issued by a government agency to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/Advanced Technology facility. Annual sinking fund payments of $170,000 commenced December 1, 2000 and continue through 2013, with a final payment of $2,620,000 due December 1, 2014. The Company has agreed to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit if there are draws on that letter of credit. The Company pays the letter of credit bank an annual fee of 1% of the amount secured thereby and pays the remarketing agent for the bonds an annual fee of .25% of the principal amount outstanding. The Company’s interest under the facility capital lease has been pledged to secure its obligations to the government agency, the bank and the bondholders.
 
 
    The Company also has a $1,000,000 line of credit on which there was no balance outstanding at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
 
    Certain lenders require the Company to comply with debt covenants as described in the specific loan documents, including a debt service ratio. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.
 
6.
Income Taxes
 
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of the beginning of 2007 and the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.  The Company did not have any unrecognized

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
tax benefits or obligations as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
 
 
    If interest and penalties would need to be accrued related to unrecognized tax obligations, it is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax obligations as a component of income taxes. The Company and/or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction, New York State and Pennsylvania. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004.
 
 
    In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FIN 48-1 Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FSP FIN 48-1). FSP FIN 48-1 provides guidance on how to determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective retroactively to January 1, 2008. The implementation of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
 
 
    During the second quarter of 2007, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax return for the year 2005. In the third quarter of 2007, the IRS examination was completed and settled resulting in a $3,000 refund to the Company.

In January of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase by the Company of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On October 31, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s current purchase program. As of April 30, 2009, the Company has purchased 237,145 shares and there remain 212,855 shares available to purchase under this program.
 
 
As previously reported, on April 1, 2009, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend will be paid on May 15, 2009 to shareholders of record on April 20, 2009. This second consecutive annual dividend does not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis.
 
 
Earnings Per Share
 
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on earnings per share were outstanding for the period. Incremental shares from assumed conversions are calculated as the number of shares that would be issued, net of the number of shares that could be purchased in the marketplace with the cash received upon stock option exercise.

Business segments
 
 
The Company operates in two business segments, Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and Consumer Products Group (CPG). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in the ATG involve the design, manufacture, and marketing of servo-control components (i.e., torque motors, control valves, actuators, etc.) for government, commercial and industrial applications. CPG’s operations involve the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and various government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 
Management Discussion
 
 
During the three month periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 43% and 49%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have a direct impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company remains optimistic in relation to these opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the Government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors and, as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results. The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects of terrorism and the threat of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company-made components.
 
 
    In December of 2008, the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA) stated that the aerospace industry is showing resiliency in trying economic times, but has not been immune to 
 
-13-

 
 
the effects of the ongoing global financial crisis. These extremely volatile economic times create circumstances that may have effects on the Aerospace Industry. The Company’s Advanced Technology Group revenue decreased approximately 3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to stretch-outs of customer orders across various product lines and, to a lesser extent, cancellations. The ATG continues its aggressive business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its focus to include new – domestic and foreign – markets that are consistent with its core competencies. There are substantial uncertainties in the current Global Economy that are compounded with certain Airliner delivery stretch-outs being implemented which in turn may adversely affect the Company’s sales revenues in 2009 and beyond. Although the ATG backlog continues to be significant, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed as a function of the Company’s customers’ delivery determinations that may be based on changes in the Global Economy and other factors.
 
 
    The Company’s Consumer Products Group (CPG) develops new commercial products and products for Government and Military applications. Included in the significant uncertainties in the near and long term are the effects of the U. S. and World’s Stimulus Plans and the difficulty to accurately project the net effect of the change in the U.S. Administration on the government’s procurement programs. Approximately 50% of the CPG’s revenues are derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors.  Procurement and time of shipments under such contracts significantly impact the operating results for the CPG from period to period.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 the CPG revenue decreased by approximately 30% due to the completion of a significant contract in the first quarter of 2008. The drop in revenues coupled with the reduction in margins under existing contracts contributed significantly to the reduction in gross profit of approximately $1 million.

Sales
 
 
The Company’s consolidated revenues decreased approximately $1,447,000 or 16.1% for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the same three month period in 2008. Such decreases are the result of customer stretch-outs of existing orders and, to a lesser extent, order cancellations at the ATG combined with decreased shipments of military products at the CPG. While the CPG anticipates follow-up Government contracts on existing products as well as orders for new products, there is uncertainty as to the amount and timing of these orders as a result of the current Global Economy, the transitional U.S. Administration and geographic troop focus.
 
 
Gross Profit
 
 
As shown in the above table, gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 decreased as compared to the same three month period in 2008. The primary reason for the decrease in gross profit was the decrease in net revenue and the mix of products sold at the CPG. The current mix of products sold in the period within the ATG and CPG segments as well as the composition of ATG and CPG sales to the total consolidated sales directly attributed to dollar value and percentage decrease in gross profit.
 
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
 
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses that include variable costs increased for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the same three month period in 2008 by approximately 5%. The increase in SG&A includes increased expenses relative to contract administration/negotiations, product line acquisition, product protection (i.e., trademarks, patents) and other costs associated with the expansion of the ATG and CPG foreign and domestic markets. The trend is for SG&A expenses to increase as a function of
 
 
-15-

 
 
increased regulations, market expansion, company growth and the full implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
 
 
Interest Expense
 
 
Interest expense decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the decrease in the average outstanding debt and interest rates. Average debt outstanding will continue to decline as the Company repays its scheduled debt obligations and assuming the Company does not incur additional debt. See also Note 5, Long-term debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
 
 
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
 
 
Depreciation and amortization expense remained consistent for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Summary of significant accounting policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its delivery commitments and to meet the information technology related capital expenditure requirements that are associated with Sarbanes-Oxley and other new regulatory requirements.
 
 
Other Income
 
 
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. The decrease in other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 when compared to the same three month period in 2008 is due to the decline in market driven interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
 
 
Income Taxes
 
 
The Company’s effective tax rate was 33.1% in the first quarter of 2009 as compared to 36.6% for the three month period ended March 31, 2008. The effective tax rate in both periods reflects state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 as well as reductions in New York State’s statutory tax rate and income apportionments formula. See also Note 6, Income taxes, of the consolidated financial statements for information concerning income tax.
 
 
Net Income
 
 
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2009 decreased $728,000 when it is compared to the net income for the same period ended in 2008. The decrease in net income is the result of decreased sales at the ATG and CPG as well the less favorable margins on the mix of products sold at the CPG during the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
 
The Company’s primary liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable, capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt.
 
 
    At March 31, 2009, the Company had working capital of approximately $16,300,000 of which approximately $3,986,000 was comprised of cash and cash equivalents. The Company
 
 
-16-

 
 
used approximately $535,000 in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to generating $423,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The primary uses of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were for increases in inventory and payments to vendors aggregating $1,605,000 off set by reductions in accounts receivable of approximately $484,000.
 
 
    The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the first three months of 2009 related to capital expenditures for equipment and principal payments on long-term debt.
 
 
    At March 31, 2009, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.
 
 
    The Company also has a $1,000,000 line of credit on which there is no balance outstanding at March 31, 2009. If needed, this can be used to fund cash flow requirements.
