NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.           Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“consolidated financial statements”) have been prepared in accordance with United States 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 United States 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2020 annual report and the notes thereto.

2.           Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components, and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash

The Company considers cash to include all currency and coins owned by the Company as well as all deposits in the bank including checking accounts and savings accounts.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $154,000 at September 30, 2021 and $188,000 at December 31, 2020. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized at the time of shipment of goods, transfer of title and customer acceptance, as required. Our revenue transactions generally consist of a single performance obligation to transfer contracted goods and are not accounted for under industry-specific guidance. 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. Service sales, principally representing repair, are recognized at the time of shipment of goods. The costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering, development and repair activities of our products under agreements with commercial customers are expensed as incurred. Subsequently, the revenue is recognized as products are delivered to the customers with the approval by the customers.

Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to a customer. The Company determines revenue recognition using the following five steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Revenue excludes taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer (e.g., sales and use taxes). Revenue includes payments for shipping activities that are reimbursed by the customer to the Company.

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. As a significant portion of the Company’s revenue are recognized at the time of shipment, transfer of title and customer acceptance, there is no significant judgment applied to determine the timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations or transaction price.

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. The Company generally receives payment for these contracts within the payment terms negotiated and agreed upon by each customer contract.

Warranty and repair obligations are assessed on all returns. Revenue is not recorded on any warranty returns. The Company warrants its products against design, materials and workmanship based on an average of twenty-seven months. The Company determines warranty reserves needed based on actual average costs of warranty units shipped and current facts and circumstances. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 under the guidance of ASC460 the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $396,000 and $382,000, respectively. This amount is reflected in other accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue is recognized on repair returns, covered under a customer contract, at the contractual price upon shipment to the customer.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition. Market provisions in respect of lower of cost or market adjustments and inventory expected to be used in greater than two years are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $1,645,000 and $1,720,000 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. 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. These amounts are not included in the inventory reserve discussed above.

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 respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

(Unaudited)

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 income tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets accounted for as finance leases. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

Buildings and improvements

The decrease in the effective tax rate during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in permanent deductible expenses, primarily the PPP loan forgiveness and other permanent differences. In addition, there are other permanent deductions that decreased the effective tax rate and our investments in research and development has increased the R&D credit.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York, Texas, California and Connecticut state income tax returns and a separate Arkansas 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 September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income and (loss) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The 2017 through 2020 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Income taxes paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $345,000 and $425,000, respectively. Interest paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $110,000 and $116,000, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

(Unaudited)

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or 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. Due to the losses incurred by our Consumer Products Group (“CPG”), we performed a test for recoverability of the long-lived assets by comparing its carrying value to the future undiscounted cash flows that we expect will be generated by the asset group. 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain balances, as previously reported, were reclassified to conform to classifications adopted in the current period.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

We consider the applicability and impact of all accounting standards updates (ASUs). Recent ASUs were assessed and determined to be either not applicable, or had and are expected to have minimal impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

A.)On April 21, 2020, the Company executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of $4,000,000 as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) and authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The PPP Loan is being made through the Bank of America, NA (the “Lender”). The term of the PPP Loan is two years with an annual interest rate of 1.00%. Payments on the unforgiven amount of principal, if any, and interest on the PPP Loan will be deferred until the date on which loan forgiveness is determined or 10 months after the end of the borrower’s covered period if forgiveness is not requested.

The Company used approximately 60% of the PPP Loan proceeds to pay for payroll costs and the balance on other eligible qualifying expenses consistent with the terms of the PPP and submitted its forgiveness application to the Lender during the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter, the entire loan in the amount of $4,000,000 and the accrued interest of $57,000 was forgiven by the SBA and a gain of $4,057,000 was recorded in “Other income/(expense)” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

B.)The Company has a $6,000,000 line of credit. The interest rate is a rate per year is equal to the bank’s prime rate or Libor plus 2.15%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% per year on the unused portion of the line of credit. There was $4,250,000 balance outstanding at September 30, 2021 and $3,750,000 balance at December 31, 2020.
C.)The term loans and line of credit are secured by all personal property of the Company with the exception of certain equipment that was purchased from proceeds of government grants. Certain lenders require the Company to comply with debt covenants as described in the specific loan documents, including a debt service ratio. At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The loan term for the equipment covered by the agreement is 60 months. Monthly payments are fixed for the term of each funding based upon the Lender’s lease pricing in effect at the time of such funding. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, approximately $384,000 was drawn on this facility.

6.            Postretirement Benefit Plan

The Company provides certain postretirement health and life insurance benefits for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and a former executive of the Company (the Plan). Upon retirement and after attaining at least the age of 65, the Company will pay the annual cost of health insurance coverage and provide life insurance offered at the time of retirement. The Plan also provides a benefit to reimburse the participants of certain out-of-pocket medical or health related expenses. The retirees’ insurance benefits cease upon the death of the retired executive. The Plan is unfunded and the projected benefit obligation is actuarially determined on an annual basis as of December 31. Quarterly projections are developed from the annual actuarial valuation as adjusted for actual benefit costs during the quarter. Inherent in these valuations are key assumptions, including the discount rate and expected service and interest costs. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the future accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was approximately $2,556,000 and $2,529,000, respectively and has been accrued and reflected in Post Retirement Obligation in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Benefit cost for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $48,000 and $98,000, respectively. Benefit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled $143,000 and $296,000, respectively.

The Company’s director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted stock under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. These shares vest quarterly over a twelve month service period, have voting rights and accrue dividends that are paid upon vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on the grant date fair value, will be recognized over the requisite service period. An aggregate of 13,160 restricted shares were issued on August 13, 2021 with a grant date fair value of $100,000.

Included in nine months ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is approximately $75,000 and $336,000, respectively, of stock-based compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. 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 the earnings per share that 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. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

8.           Litigation

In the course of its business, the Company is subject to a variety of claims and lawsuits that are inherently subject to many uncertainties regarding the possibility of a loss to the Company. Because litigation outcomes are inherently unpredictable, the Company’s evaluation of legal proceedings often involves a series of complex assessments by management, after consulting with legal counsel, about future events and can rely heavily on estimates and assumptions. The Company carries liability insurance, subject to certain deductibles and policy limits, for such claims as they arise and may from time to time establish reserves for litigation that is considered probable of a loss. The Company does not accrue liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

The Company has pending litigation relative to leases of certain equipment and real property with a former related party. Aero, Inc. sued Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary and alleged damages in the amount of $3,000,000. The Company has filed a response to the Aero, Inc. lawsuit and has also filed a counter-claim in the amount of $3,191,000. Substantive settlement negotiations commenced in September 2021 with respect to these claims. In prior quarters, the Company did not consider the risk of loss to be probable and was unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability or benefit that may be realized as a result of this litigation. While these negotiations have not progressed to the point of a final, binding settlement as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company recorded a charge of $1,800,000 associated with the proposed settlement as of September 30, 2021. This amount is reflected in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has pending litigation relative to a dispute for work performed by an independent contractor and the use of tooling to perform the necessary work for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ontario Knife Company. Alleged damages was in the amount of $750,000. Substantive settlement negotiations commenced in September 2021 with respect to these claims. In prior quarters, the Company did not consider the risk of loss to be probable and was unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability or benefit that may be realized as a result of this litigation. While these negotiations have not progressed to the point of a final, binding settlement as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company recorded a charge of $90,000 associated with the proposed settlement as of September 30, 2021. This amount is reflected in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On June 7, 2021, a Summons and Complaint was filed by an employee in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Erie, against Servotronics, Inc., the Servotronics Board of Directors, The Ontario Knife Company and Kenneth D. Trbovich (collectively, the “Defendants”). The Complaint alleges certain violations under the New York Human Rights Law by the Defendants relating to the employee’s employment by the Company as well as intentional and negligent infliction of emotional distress. The complaint also alleges certain purported derivative causes of action against all Defendants, including breach of fiduciary duties, fraud and corporate waste. The complaint seeks monetary damages in an amount not less than $5,000,000 with respect to the direct causes of action and equitable relief with respect to the purported derivative causes of action. The Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on August 6, 2021. This litigation is still in its earliest stages. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing, the Company does not consider the risk of loss to be probable and is unable to reasonably or accurately estimate the likelihood and amount of any liability that may be realized as a result of this litigation. Accordingly, no loss has been recognized in the accompanying financials statements related to this litigation. The Company intends to vigorously defend against this litigation.

There are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or earnings of the Company.

9.           Related Party Transactions

The Company paid legal fees and disbursements of approximately $59,000 and $150,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, for services provided by a law firm that is owned by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Legal fees paid for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 amounted to approximately $13,000 and $18,000, respectively. Additionally, the Company had accrued unbilled legal fees at September 30, 2021 and 2020 of approximately $13,000 and $25,000, respectively, with this firm.

10.         Employee Retention Credit

The employee retention credit (ERC) for 2020 was established under the CARES Act and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”) provided for changes in the employee retention credit for 2020 and provided an additional credit for the first, second and third calendar quarters of 2021.

The Company evaluated its eligibility for the employee retention credit for the three months ending September 30, 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC in the third quarter of 2021, the Company needed to experience a 20% reduction in gross receipts from either (1) the same quarter in 2019 or (2) the immediate preceding quarter to the corresponding calendar quarter in 2019. It was determined that the Company qualified for the employee retention credit under scenario (2) for September 30, 2021. As a result, for the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2021 approximately $1,978,000 and $5,622,000, respectively was recognized in other income for the employee retention credit.

11.         Business Segments

The Company operates in two business segments, ATG and 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 ATG primarily 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 government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company had identifiable assets of approximately $54,213,000 ($50,328,000 – December 31, 2020) of which approximately $44,784,000 ($40,826,000 – December 31, 2020) was for ATG and approximately $9,429,000 ($9,502,000 – December 31, 2020) was for CPG.

Information regarding the Company’s operations in these segments is summarized as follows:

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

Results of Operations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, approximately 78% and 85%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues were derived from the ATG sale of product to a small base of customers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, approximately 22% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues were derived from the CPG sale of product to a large base of retail customers. There was a decrease in consolidated revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from 2020 of approximately $9,246,000. This is primary due to a decrease in shipments and price/mix at the ATG of approximately $9,733,000 partially offset by an increase in shipments and price/mix at the CPG of approximately $487,000.

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 and threats of terrorism, the availability and cost of aircraft and other liability insurance coverage, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.

The ATG engages its business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its activities to include new domestic and foreign markets that are consistent with its core competencies. We believe our business remains particularly well positioned in the strong commercial aircraft market driven by the replacement of older aircraft with more fuel efficient alternatives and the increasing demand for air travel in emerging markets. Although the ATG backlog continues to be strong, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed/changed as a function of the Company’s customers’ final delivery determinations based on changes in the global economy and other factors.

The ATG and CPG continue to respond to U.S. government procurement requests for quotes. New product development activities are ongoing along with the acquisition and development of new product lines.

See also Note 11, Business Segments, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for information concerning business segment operating results.

Business Environment; Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has been, and continues to be, an unprecedented disruption in the economy and has negatively impacted, and may continue to negatively impact, the Company’s business and results. The COVID-19 pandemic and accompanying economic disruption have caused delays and declines in the placement of customer orders. Accordingly, the Company experienced declines in revenue for the most recently completed nine months compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This trend may continue in the near-term and possibly longer, including, without limitation, if the pandemic increases in size and scope, its duration is prolonged or among other matters related thereto, governmental actions, including, without limitation, business restrictions are imposed. In response to the economic and business disruption, the Company has taken actions to reduce costs and spending across the organization. The Company continues to actively monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and may take further actions, including those that may alter business operations, if required by federal, state or local authorities or otherwise determined to be advisable by management.

The Company is focused on ensuring ample liquidity to meet its business needs. To that end, during April 2020, the Company received a loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for additional information regarding the Company’s credit facility and the PPP loan.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has been directed to develop a rule requiring each employer with 100 or more employees to ensure its workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work. In addition, President Biden has announced an executive order mandating COVID-19 vaccination of U.S. based employees of companies that work on, or in support for, federal contracts. The Company is actively encouraging employees to be vaccinated and has achieved some success in these efforts. The Company also has begun preparing to fulfill its legal obligations under the executive order and the pending OSHA final rule. However, management cannot currently predict the impact that the OSHA rule, if adopted, and executive order would have on our workforce, our ability to secure skilled labor in the future, or the cost of implementation and compliance with such rule and the executive order.

- 19 -

As of the date of this quarterly 10-Q, significant uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of the impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors arising from the COVID-19 pandemic that have impacted, or may negatively impact, the Company’s business and results, including sales and gross margin, include, but are not limited to: the Company’s ability to procure materials from suppliers or to meet delivery requirements and commitments to our customers; limitations on the ability of the Company’s employees to perform their work due to impacts caused by the pandemic or local, state, or federal orders that restrict the Company’s operations or the operations of its customers, or require that the employees be quarantined; limitations on the ability of carriers to deliver products to the Company’s facilities and customers; limitations on the ability or desire of the Company’s customers to conduct their business, purchase products and services and pay for purchases on a timely basis or at all; and decreased demand for products and services.

The situation surrounding COVID-19 remains fluid. The Company is unable to determine or predict the nature, duration, or scope of the overall impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition, as such impact will depend on future developments, including the severity and duration of the pandemic and government and other actions taken in response thereto, all of which are highly uncertain. Further, even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the Company may continue to experience adverse impacts to its business as a result of, among other things, any economic impact that has occurred or may occur in the future and changes in customer or supplier behavior.

In addition, the employee retention credit (“ERC”) is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The ERC was established under the CARES Act and amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (the “Relief Act”) and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”). Under the CARES Act, a company needed a more than 50% decline in gross receipts in 2020, compared to the same quarter in 2019, in order to use the gross receipts test to be eligible for the credit. The Company determined it did not qualify for the ERC for 2020 as it did not satisfy the gross receipts test for any quarter in 2020.

The Relief Act provided for changes in the ERC for 2020 and provided an additional credit for all quarters of 2021. The Relief Act revised the gross receipts test, using two scenarios to qualify: 1) a company that has had a more than 20% decline in gross receipts in 2021, compared to the same quarter in 2019, or 2) a company can elect to use the gross receipts from the immediately preceding quarter, and compare these prior quarter gross receipts to the same quarter in 2019, rather than the current quarter.

The Company evaluated its eligibility for the ERC for the first, second and third quarters of 2021. Under the aggregation rules of the Relief Act, the Company reviewed consolidated revenue when measuring the decline in gross receipts. All employees of the ATG and CPG are treated as a single employer for purposes of the ERC. The Company evaluated its eligibility for the employee retention credit for the three months ending September 30, 2021. In order to qualify for the ERC in the third quarter of 2021, the Company needed to experience a 20% reduction in gross receipts from either (1) the same quarter in 2019 or (2) the immediate preceding quarter to the corresponding calendar quarter in 2019. It was determined that the Company qualified for the employee retention credit under scenario (2) for September 30, 2021. As a result, for the three month and nine month periods ending September 30, 2021 approximately $1,978,000 and $5,622,000, respectively was recognized in other income for the employee retention credit. The Company will monitor for eligibility for the ERC for the remaining quarter of 2021.

Revenue

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations decreased approximately $9,246,000 or (23.6)% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. This is due to a decrease at the ATG of approximately $9,733,000 or (29.3)%, partially offset by an increase at the CPG of approximately $487,000 or 8.1%.

The decrease in revenue is attributable to a decrease in shipments slightly offset by an improvement of product mix of shipments at the ATG of approximately $10,620,000. This is partially offset by an increase in price of units shipped of approximately $887,000 at the ATG. Additionally, there was a decrease in shipments at the CPG offset by an improvement of product mix of shipments of approximately $240,000 and an increase in price of units shipped of approximately $247,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020.

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $618,000 or 6.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. This is due to an increase at the ATG of approximately $265,000 or 3.2% and at the CPG of approximately $353,000 or 16.7%.

The consolidated increase for the three month period ended in September 30, 2021 when compared to the same three month period ended September 30, 2020 is attributable to an increase in units shipped and improved product mix of shipments at the ATG of approximately $97,000 and an increase in price of the units shipped of approximately $168,000. Additionally, there was an increase in units shipped and improved product mix of shipments at the CPG of approximately $203,000 and an increase in price of units shipped of approximately $150,000 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2020.

Gross Margin

The Company’s consolidated gross margins from operations decreased approximately $2,930,000 or (38.7)% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. Gross margin decreased in the nine month period at the ATG and CPG approximately $2,452,000 and approximately $478,000, respectively.

- 22 -

Gross margin decreased in the nine month period primarily due to the decrease in units shipped and increase in costs per units shipped, including underutilization of production resources at both the ATG and CPG. The gross margin decreased at the ATG, including improved mix of units shipped is approximately $2,452,000. The gross margin decreased at the CPG, including an improved mix of units shipped is approximately $478,000, as compared to the same period in 2020.

The Company’s consolidated gross margins from operations increased approximately $1,937,000 or 1,173.9% for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. Gross margin increased in the three month period at the ATG of approximately $2,138,000 offset by a decrease at the CPG of approximately $201,000.

Gross margin increased in the three month period primarily due to the increase in units shipped and improved costs per units shipped, including the underutilization of production resources at the ATG of approximately $2,138,000. Gross margin decreased in the three month period primarily due increase of costs per unit shipped, including the underutilization of production resources partially offset by an increase in units shipped at the CPG of approximately $201,000, compared to the same period in 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) increased approximately $2,681,000 or 43.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. SG&A expenses at the ATG increased approximately $2,529,000 or 52.1%. The increase is due to legal settlements of approximately $1,800,000, legal fees of approximately $895,000 and professional fees of approximately $513,000 offset by a decrease of employee wages and benefits approximately $553,000 and a net decrease of all other ATG SG&A expenses of approximately $126,000 as compared to the same period in 2020. In addition, SG&A expenses at the CPG increased approximately $152,000 or 12.1%. The increase is due to legal settlements of approximately $90,000 and employee wages and benefits of approximately $87,000 offset by a net decrease of all other CPG SG&A expenses of approximately $25,000 as compared to the same period in 2020.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) increased approximately $2,515,000 or 120.0% for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. SG&A expenses at the ATG increased approximately $2,328,000 or 136.0% and the CPG increased approximately $187,000 or 48.7%. This is attributable to the increase of the combined legal settlements of approximately $1,890,000, legal fees of approximately $748,000 and professional fees of approximately $130,000 offset by a reductions in employee wages and benefits approximately $115,000 and bad debt expense of approximately $70,000. There was a net decrease of all other SG&A expenditures of approximately $68,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

Other Income

The Company evaluated its eligibility for the ERC for the first three quarters of 2021. Under the aggregation rules of the Relief Act, the Company reviewed consolidated revenue when measuring the decline in gross receipts. All employees of the ATG and CPG are treated as a single employer for purposes of the ERC.

It was determined that the Company qualified for the ERC for both the three month period and nine month period ended September 30, 2021. As a result, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 the company recognized approximately $5,622,000 and for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 recognized approximately $1,978,000. The amounts were recorded in other income.

As previously discussed, on September 24, 2021 the Small Business Administration notified the Company that the full amount of the PPP loan was forgiven. The amount of $4,000,000 was recorded in other income.

Operating (Loss)/Income

Income from operations decreased approximately $5,611,000 or (385.6)% when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 to the same period in 2020 as operating income at the ATG was lower by approximately $4,981,000 and the CPG was lower by approximately $630,000. The consolidated decrease is primarily the result of decreases in revenue and increased SG&A expenditures, as discussed above.

Income from operations decreased approximately $578,000 or (25.6)% when comparing the three month period ended September 30, 2021 to the same period in 2020 as operating income at the ATG was lower by approximately $190,000 and the CPG was lower by approximately $388,000. The consolidated decrease is primarily the result of increases in selling, general and administrative expenses.

- 23 -

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by 1.5% and 88.1% in the nine and three month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2020. This is primarily due to the lower debt balances and the reversal of the accrued interest for the PPP loan that was forgiven during this reporting quarter.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 6.9% and 18.2% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately (3.3)% and (22.6)% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures, the deduction for foreign-derived intangible income and the federal tax credit for research and development expenditures. In addition, the effective tax rate at September 30, 2021 reflects the permanent deduction for the forgiveness of the PPP loan.

Net Income

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 increased approximately $3,884,000 or 359.3%. This increase is primarily due to income of $4,000,000 recognized from the PPP loan forgiveness and the $5,334,000 ERC benefit described in Note 10. Both of these items were recognized in “Other income/(expense)” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2021. This income was partially offset by the decreases in gross margin related to lower volume at the ATG and increases in SG&A expenses, as discussed above. Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 increased approximately $5,020,000 when compared to the same period in 2020. This increase is primarily the result of the PPP loan forgiveness and ERC benefit, as discussed, offset by increases in SG&A expenses, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary liquidity and capital expenditure requirements relate to working capital needs: primarily inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and principal payments on debt. At September 30, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $34,636,000 ($31,074,000 – December 2020) of which approximately $11,826,000 ($5,935,000 – December 2020) was comprised of cash. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to an increase in cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and accrued employee compensation with a decrease in inventory and accounts payable. The push out of orders related to the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to a higher levels of inventories at the ATG during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The Company continues to focus on inventory management in light of this period of uncertainty with respect to short and long-term industry demand.

The Company generated approximately $6,338,000 in cash from operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 as compared to approximately $2,126,000 generated during the same period in 2020. Cash was generated primarily through net income of approximately $4,965,000, the increase in accrued employee compensation and other accrued liabilities of approximately $3,174,000 and a reduction in inventories of approximately $2,861,000 offset by adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash of approximately $2,959,000, and a reduction in accounts receivable of approximately $1,509,000. All other operating accounts were a net used amount of approximately $194,000.

The Company’s primary use of cash in its investing activities in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 are for capital equipment of approximately $68,000 primarily for machinery, equipment, and tooling.

The Company’s primary usage of cash in its financing activities in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 include principal payments on long-term debt and equipment note obligations of approximately $911,000 and $271,000, respectively partially offset by proceeds from the line of credit and equipment financing of approximately $500,000 and $384,000, respectively. In addition, there was a usage of $81,000 for the withheld/purchase of treasury shares to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements.

The COVID-19 pandemic could impact our liquidity. Lower production schedules, possible inability of our customers to make timely payments to us, and similar factors could lower cash generated from operations and adversely affect our financial position.

As of March 20, 2020, the Company increased its line of credit from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. As of July 31, 2020, the Company extended the line of credit to expire December 31, 2022. As of July 31, 2020, the interest rate is a rate per year equal

to the bank’s prime rate or Libor plus 2.15%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line of credit. There was $4,250,000 balance outstanding at September 30, 2021 and $3,750,000 balance at December 31, 2020.

The Company had an equipment loan facility in the amount of $1,000,000 available until July 9, 2021. This line is non-revolving and non-renewable. The loan term for the equipment covered by the agreement is 60 months. Monthly payments are fixed for the term of each funding based upon the Lender’s lease pricing in effect at the time of such funding. There was approximately $765,000 outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and $523,000 at December 31, 2020.

On April 21, 2020, the Company executed a promissory note (the “Note”) in the amount of $4,000,000 as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) administered by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) and authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act”). The PPP Loan was made through the Bank of America, NA (the “Lender”). The term of the PPP Loan was two years with an annual interest rate of 1.00%. Payments of principal and interest on the PPP Loan were deferred until the SBA remits the loan forgiveness amount to the lender. The Company used approximately 60% of the amount of the PPP Loan proceeds to pay for payroll costs and the balance on other eligible qualifying expenses consistent with the terms of the PPP and submitted its forgiveness application to the Lender during the third quarter of 2021. During the third quarter, the entire loan was forgiven by the SBA and a gain of $4,000,000 was recorded in “Other income (expense)” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company believes its cash generating capability and financial condition, together with available credit facilities will be adequate to meet our future operating, investing and financing needs.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) as of September 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, the PEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting reported in the Company’s amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Controls

As reported in the Company’s amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting relating to the failure to monitor whether the components of internal control are present and functioning in accordance with the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013 (“COSO”). The Company has begun its remediation process which includes the development of enhanced internal control review procedures and documentation standards aligned with the COSO components and principles, however, there have not been sufficient opportunities to conclude that the enhanced procedures and documentation is operating effectively. Except for the implementation of the remediation plan, there have been no changes during the period covered by this report to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

In addition to historical information, certain sections of this Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such as those pertaining to the Company’s capital resources and profitability, the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, including impacts of the pandemic and of businesses’ and governments’ responses to the pandemic on the Company’s operations and personnel, and on commercial activity and demand across the Company’s and its customers’ businesses, and on global supply chains; and the Company’s inability to predict the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely impact our business operations. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties. The Company derives a material portion of its revenues from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors.

The success of the Company also depends upon the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation, population changes and those risk factors discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s analysis only as of the date hereof.
