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 condensed 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, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes to such statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 that was previously filed by the Company.
Risks and Uncertainties
Global economic challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, severe and sustained inflation, rising interest rates, and supply chain disruptions could cause economic uncertainty and volatility. The impact of these issues on the Company’s operations will vary by market and product line, specific impacts to our business could potentially include delayed or reduced customer orders and sales, restrictions on travel, and delays in shipments to and from certain countries. The Company monitors economic conditions closely. In response to fluctuations in revenue and product demand, the Company can take actions to align its cost structure with changes in demand and manage its working capital. Failure to achieve expected opeating results could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, our ability to obtain financing, and our operations in the future. However, there can be no assurance as to the effectiveness of these efforts to mitigate any impact of the current and future adverse economic conditions and other developments.
2. Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Description
Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Registrant” or the “Company”) design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components, and consumer products including knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products. The Company operates through two primary segments: the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and the Consumer Products Group (CPG).
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 $140,000 at September 30, 2022 and $131,000 at December 31, 2021. 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.
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 is 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. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the customer obtains control of the promised goods are considered fulfillment activities.
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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 under the guidance of ASC460 the Company has recorded a warranty reserve of approximately $543,000 and $511,000, respectively. This amount is reflected in other accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheet. 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 $1,631,000 and $1,742,000 at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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.
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 |
| 5- years |
Machinery and equipment | 5- years | |
Tooling | ‑ years |
Income Taxes
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, 2022 or December 31, 2021, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The 2018 through 2021 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
There were income tax refunds received of approximately $811,000 and $345,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Income tax paid amounted to approximately $50,000 and $720,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Interest paid during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to approximately $76,000 and $110,000, 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 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 historical 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
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 assesses the risk of nonperformance by the financial institutions to be low.
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
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which creates a new credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans, trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-13 will be adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and does not expect the impact to be significant.

A.) | The Company has a $6,000,000 line of credit. The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the sum (i) the greater of the Bloomberg’s Short-term Bank Yield (BSBY) Daily Floating Rate or the Index Floor, plus (ii) 1.65 percentage point(s). For purpose of this paragraph “Index Floor” means 0.5%. In addition, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee of 0.25% on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line of credit expires December 31, 2023. |
On January 11, 2022, the Company executed an amendment to the loan agreement, which extended the line of credit availability period from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The amended agreement suspended the Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan covenant up through and including the third quarter of 2022. A Quarterly Minimum Cash Flow measurement loan covenant replaced the Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan covenant. Minimum Cash Flow means net income, plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense, plus interest expense, plus non-cash expense related to the Servotronics, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, plus non-cash stock and stock option transactions. Also, the amended agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity, defined as cash on hand plus line of credit availability of at least $9,000,000. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company was in compliance with its loan covenants.
Although the Company meets the current covenant requirements as of September 30, 2022, it is probable that the Company will fail to meet the Debt Service Coverage Ratio loan covenant up through and including the fourth quarter of 2022. As the Company has no term loan or line of credit outstanding balances as of September 30, 2022 and the Debt to Worth Ratio is expected to be in compliance at December 31, 2022, the Company does not anticipate adverse consequences of its probable failure to satisfy future covenants.
The line of credit is secured by all personal property of the Company with the exception of certain equipment that was purchased from proceeds of government grants. There was approximately $0 and $4,250,000 outstanding at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
B.) | The Company had an equipment loan facility in the amount of $1,000,000 available until July 9, 2021. This line was 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 $547,000 outstanding at September 30, 2022 and $712,000 outstanding at December 31, 2021. |

C.) | The Company had a lease line of credit for equipment financing in the amount of $1,000,000 available until June 28, 2018. This line was non-revolving and non-renewable. The lease term for equipment covered by the lease line of credit 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 $19,000 outstanding at September 30, 2022 and $64,000 at December 31, 2021. |
Principal maturities of long-term debt are as follows: 2022 - $66,000; 2023 - $231,000; 2024 - $182,000; 2025 - $77,000; and 2026 - $10,000. Remaining principal payments and interest payments for the capital note and capital equipment financing lease obligations for each of the next five years:

6. Postretirement Benefit Plan
The Company provides certain postretirement benefits for two former executives of the Company (the Plan). Under the Plan, the Company pays the annual cost of health insurance coverage and provides life insurance at the same level of coverage provided to the former employee at the time of termination of employment. The Plan also provides a benefit to reimburse the participants for certain out-of-pocket medical or health related expenses. The participant’s benefits under the Plan cease upon the death of the former executive. The Plan is unfunded and the actuarially determined future accumulated postretirement benefit obligation at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was approximately $5,885,000 and $5,865,000, respectively and has been accrued and reflected in Post Retirement Obligation and Current Portion of Post Retirement Obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Benefit costs for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $70,000 and $48,000, respectively. Benefit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 totaled $208,000 and $143,000, respectively.

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 450,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has purchased 360,615 shares and there remain 89,385 shares available to purchase under this program. There were no shares purchased by the Company during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
On January 1, 2021, 25,250 shares of restricted stock vested of which 9,920 shares were withheld by the Company for approximately $81,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the applicable equity plan.
The Company’s director compensation policy provides that non-employee directors receive a portion of their annual retainer in the form of restricted stock. 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 18,375 restricted shares were issued during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 with an approximate grant date fair value of $203,000.
Included in nine months ended September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 is approximately $126,000 and $75,000, 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. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method. However, if the assumed common shares are anti-dilutive, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same. As a result of the net losses generated in 2022, all outstanding common shares would be antidilutive. As of the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 there were 15,299 and 9,868 common shares, respectively, that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future. 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.

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.

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. On January 13, 2022, the Defendants’ motion to dismiss was granted, in part, and denied, in part. This litigation is still in its earliest stages. The Company is insured for such matters in the amount of $3 million with a retention of $1 million. Additionally, there is excess coverage policy for $3 million that considers the payment from the earlier insurance policy as the $3 million retention. 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.
On December 21, 2021, the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer (“Former CEO”) delivered his Notice of Termination and alleged that the Company breached the terms of the Employment Agreement between the Company and the Former CEO by, among others, placing the Former CEO on paid administrative leave in June 2021 pending an internal investigation. On December 22, 2021, the Board of Directors accepted the Former CEO’s resignation from the Company but rejected his request to treat his resignation as resignation for good reason under Paragraph 10 of his Employment Agreement. The Board also determined, based on the findings of its investigation that the Former CEO committed willful malfeasance in violation of his Employment Agreement, and that such willful malfeasance would have justified termination of employment pursuant to Paragraph 9 of the Employment Agreement, but for his earlier resignation. The Former CEO claims that he is entitled to a severance payment equal to 2.99 times his average annual compensation as set forth in the Employment Agreement, plus the reimbursement of certain expenses and the value of any lost benefits. As noted above, the Board of Directors rejected the Former CEO’s claim that the Company breached the Employment Agreement. Accordingly, the Company is classifying the Former CEO’s termination as a voluntary resignation for which no severance is due. The Employment Agreement provides that disputes arising thereunder shall be settled by arbitration. To date, neither party has commenced an arbitration proceeding with respect to these matters. Based on the information known by the Company as of the date of this filing, if a claim is ultimately asserted, 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 with respect to this matter.
There are no other legal proceedings currently pending by or against the Company other than 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
There were related party legal fees refunded for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 of approximately $3,155 and related party legal fees paid for the three month period ended September 30, 2021 of approximately $13,000 for services provided by a law firm that is owned by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company paid legal fees and disbursements to that firm amounting to approximately $51,000 and $59,000 in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, for services provided by a law firm that is owned by a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company had accrued unbilled legal fees at September 30, 2022 and 2021 of approximately $5,000 and $13,000, respectively, with this firm.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Overview
There was an increase in consolidated revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 from 2021 of approximately $3,386,000, 11.3%. This is primarily due to price increases at the ATG of approximately $1,130,000 and the CPG of approximately $174,000 and an increase in the number of units shipped at the ATG of approximately $2,975,000. This is partially offset by an unfavorable product mix shipped at the ATG of approximately $861,000 and a decrease in the number of units shipped at the CPG of approximately $32,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 80% and 78%, 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, 2022 and 2021, approximately 20% and 22%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues were derived from the CPG sale of product to a large base of retail customers.
Our 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, and increasing market demand could impact our ability to produce and deliver product on time.
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 recovery of business with increased demand post COVID, 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 or changed as a function of our customers’ final delivery determinations.
See also Note 10, Business Segments, of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for information concerning business segment operating results.
Business Environment
There still remains uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The ultimate impact depends on the severity and duration of the pandemic, including emergence and spread of new COVID-19 variants and resurgences and actions taken by government authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.
U.S. and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the escalation of geopolitical tensions. Disruptions in normal operating levels continue to create supply chain interruptions, volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, and inflationary cost pressures within our end-markets.
We continue to actively monitor the impact of the supply chain constraints, and anticipate the inflationary environment will continue throughout the remainder of 2022. We are focused on ensuring ample liquidity to meet our business needs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the impacts of COVID-19 have not been material.

Consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $76,000 or 0.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. This benefited from price increases at the ATG of approximately $739,000. Although the ATG is experiencing an increase in volume due to the recovery of business within the commercial aircraft market it is offset by an unfavorable product mix of product shipped of approximately $365,000. Additionally, the CPG had a decrease in prices of approximately $205,000 and a decrease in the number of units shipped amounting to approximately $93,000 as compared to the same three month period ended September 30, 2021.
Consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $3,386,000 or 11.3% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. This is due to the recovery of business within the commercial aircraft market and an increase in price at the ATG of approximately $3,244,000 or 13.8% and price increases at the CPG approximately $174,000, partially offset by a slightly lower number of units shipped of approximately $32,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021.
- 22 -
The ATG’s revenue improved for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2021. Although the CPG’s revenue for the three month period declined, the CPG revenue is slightly higher for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2021.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit from operations decreased approximately $249,000 or (14.1)% for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The gross profit decreased at the ATG by approximately $837,000 or (49.6)% offset by an increase at the CPG of approximately $588,000 or 691.8%.
Gross profit benefited in the three months period from the recovery of business within the commercial aircraft market with increased volume and price increases offset by an unfavorable product mix shipped at the ATG of a net decrease of approximately $180,000 and increased operating costs of approximately $657,000. The increase in operating costs is primarily due to increased compensation and benefits of approximately $413,000, recruiting costs for the ramp-up of production of approximately $169,000, warranty expenses of approximately $41,000, and a net increase of approximately $34,000 for all other operating expenses as compared to the same period in 2021. We have added staff during this period in anticipation of increasing production in future periods to satisfy demand. Additionally, gross profit increased in the three month period at the CPG due to an improvement in operating variances of approximately $341,000, and a decrease in operating costs of approximately $339,000. The decrease in operating costs is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits of approximately $73,000, an increase in the utilization of production resources of approximately $199,000, a decrease in net freight costs of approximately $87,000 and a net increase of approximately $20,000 for all other operating expenses. This is partially offset by an unfavorable product mix shipped, and decreases in volume and prices at the CPG of approximately $92,000 as compared to the same period in 2021.
Consolidated gross profit from operations increased approximately $692,000 or 14.9% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The gross profit decreased at the ATG by approximately $385,000 or (8.9)% and increased at the CPG by approximately $1,077,000 or 302.5%.
Gross margin benefited in the nine months period from the recovery of business within the commercial aircraft market and favorable product mix shipped at the ATG of approximately $283,000 and price increases of approximately $709,000. However, this was more than offset by an increase in operating costs of approximately $1,377,000. This is primarily due to increased compensation and benefits of approximately $539,000, recruiting costs for the ramp-up of production of approximately $216,000, and the underutilization of production resources of approximately $650,000 and a net decrease of approximately $28,000 for all other operating expenses as compared to the same period in 2021. As previously noted, we have added staff during this period in anticipation of increasing production in future periods to satisfy customer demand. At the CPG, gross profit increased in the nine month period due to favorable product mix shipped at the CPG of approximately $526,000, and price increases of approximately $180,000, and a decrease in operating costs of approximately $371,000. The decrease in operating costs is primarily due to a decrease in compensation and benefits of approximately $41,000, an increase in the utilization of production resources of approximately $213,000, a decrease in net freight costs of approximately $229,000 offset by an increase in repair and maintenance expenses of approximately $69,000 and a net increase of approximately $43,000 for all other operating expenses as compared to the same period in 2021.
Since mid-2020, both Segments have experienced the challenge of fully utilizing their production resources, increasing the cost per unit produced. The CPG is starting to experience favorable production costs in the nine months ending September 30, 2022. Additionally, both Segments have incurred increased costs for raw materials associated with the production of our products. The ATG has incurred the costs of ramping up staffing to support future production. We will continue to monitor all purchases at both Segments. Despite these challenges, the consolidated gross margin and gross margin percent for the first nine month period of 2022 is higher than the same period in 2021.

The improvement is driven by the ATG due to lower legal fees of approximately $758,000 and a net decrease of all other SG&A expenses of approximately $20,000 as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2021.
SG&A expenses decreased approximately $707,000 or 10.2% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is due to lower legal fees at the ATG of approximately $678,000 and a net decrease of all other SG&A expenses of approximately $29,000 as compared to the same period in 2021.
With the decrease in consolidated SG&A expenses in the three and nine month periods and the increasing revenue, the percentage of SG&A to revenue declined at both Segments.
Operating Losses
Losses from operations decreased approximately $2,419,000 or 85.2% when comparing to the three month period ended September 30, 2022 to the same period in 2021. Losses from operations decreased approximately $3,289,000 or 79.1% when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 to the same period in 2021. The consolidated improvement in the operating losses for the first three and nine month periods are discussed above.

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company qualified for the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) for all quarters allowed under the federal government program. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, enacted November 15, 2021 terminated the employee retention credit for wages paid in the fourth quarter of 2021 for employers that are not recovery startup businesses. As a result, for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 there was no recognition of an ERC as compared to approximately $1,978,000 recognized in the three month period and the approximately $5,622,000 recognized in the nine month period ended September 30, 2021.
Additionally, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company executed a promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP” loan) in the amount of $4,000,000. During the third quarter of 2021, 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 (expense)/income” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased by 900.0% and 47.0% in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2021. This is primarily due to the increase in interest recognized for postretirement benefits offset by the elimination of the interest resulting from the pay down of our term loans as of December 2021. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
(Loss)/income before Income Taxes
Consolidated loss before income taxes for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 decreased approximately $3,604,000 or (115.0)% when compared to the same period in 2021. The consolidated decrease is primarily the result of the elimination of the ERC credit and the one-time event of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness within the three months ended September 30, 2021. This is partially offset by an increase in revenue at the ATG segment, an improvement in operating performance at the CPG, decreases in SG&A expenses at both segments and decreases for 2021 legal awards as discussed above. The consolidated loss before income taxes for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 decreased approximately $6,369,000 or (119.4)% when compared to the same period in 2021. The consolidated decrease is primarily the result of the elimination of the ERC credit and the one-time event of the PPP loan forgiveness within the three months ended September 30, 2021. This is partially offset by an increase in revenue at the ATG segment, an improvement in operating performance at the CPG, decreases in SG&A expenses at both segments and decreases for 2021 legal awards as discussed above.

Net (Loss) Income
Net income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 decreased approximately $3,554,000 or (109.8)% and approximately $5,766,000 or (108.1)%, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2021. The consolidated decrease in net income is primarily the result of the elimination of the ERC credit and the one-time event of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness within the three month period ended September 30, 2021. This is offset by an increase in revenue at the ATG segment, an improvement in operating performance at the CPG, decreases in SG&A expenses at both Segments and decreases for legal awards as discussed above.

Operating Activities:
We generated approximately $62,000 in cash from operations during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to generating approximately $6,338,000 for the same period in 2021. At September 30, 2022, we had working capital of approximately $29,082,000 ($34,067,000 – December 2021) of which approximately $4,261,000 ($9,546,000 – December 2021) was comprised of cash.
The decrease in cash flow from operating activities is primarily attributable to a decrease in net income of approximately $5,766,000 as explained previously. In addition, there was significant accounts receivable increase, and offsetting PPP forgiveness of a net usage of approximately $223,000. A usage of cash for all other accounts netted to approximately $287,000.
Our cash flow from operations and available line of credit capacity provide us with the financial resources needed to run our operations and reinvest in our business. Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity is highly dependent upon achieving expected operating results. Failure to achieve expected operating results could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, our ability to obtain financing, and our operations in the future.
Investing Activities:
We used approximately $887,000 in cash from investing activities during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to a usage of cash of approximately $68,000 during the same period in 2021. The investing activities were primarily related to ATG projects and facilities improvement. Cash was generated through the sale of the Company car.
- 26 -
Financing Activities:
Our primary usage of cash in our financing activities in the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 includes the repayment of our line of credit of approximately $4,250,000 and the principal payments on equipment financing obligations of approximately $210,000.
As of March 20, 2020, we increased our line of credit from $4,000,000 to $6,000,000. On January 11, 2022, we executed an amendment to the loan agreement, which extended our line of credit availability period from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023. The amended agreement suspended the Debt Service Coverage Ratio up through and including the third quarter of 2022. A Quarterly Minimum Cash Flow measurement replaced the Debt Service Coverage Ratio. Minimum Cash Flow means net income, plus depreciation, depletion, and amortization expense, plus interest expense, plus non-cash expense related to the Servotronics, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan, plus non-cash stock and stock option transactions.
Through the third quarter of 2022, the amended agreement also requires us to maintain a minimum liquidity, defined as cash on hand plus line of credit availability of at least $9,000,000.
The interest rate is a rate per year equal to the sum of (i) the greater of the Bloomberg’s Short-Term Bank Yield (BSBY) Daily Floating Rate or the Index Floor, plus (ii) 1.65 percentage point(s). For purposes of this paragraph, “Index Floor” means 0.5 percent.
The line of credit is secured by all personal property of the Company with the exception of certain equipment that was purchased from proceeds of government grants. There was no balance outstanding at September 30, 2022 and approximately $4,250,000 outstanding at December 31, 2021. The phase out of LIBOR and transition to the BSBY Daily Floating Rate does not have a significant impact on our operating results, financial position, or cash flows.
We had an equipment loan facility in the amount of $1,000,000 available until July 9, 2021. This line was 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 is approximately $547,000 outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and $712,000 outstanding at December 31, 2021.
We had a lease line of credit for equipment financing in the amount of $1,000,000 available until June 28, 2018. This line was non-revolving and non-renewable. The lease term for equipment covered by the lease line of credit 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 $19,000 outstanding at September 30, 2022 and $64,000 at December 31, 2021.
We believe that we should retain the capital generated from operating activities for investment in research and development and programs to retain the Company’s human resources talent as well as other operating and strategic improvements. Accordingly, there are no plans to institute a cash dividend within the next year.
We believe our cash generating capability and financial condition, together with available credit facilities will be adequate to meet our future operating and investing 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 Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) 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, 2022. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Changes in Internal Controls
As reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, management identified certain control deficiencies that, individually and in the aggregate, constitute a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company began its remediation efforts in 2021 and continues with its remediation plan which includes a comprehensive technology assessment by a third party, including the establishment and implementation of an information technology strategy and improvement of its risk assessment and documentation over the monitoring of internal controls. 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.
Notwithstanding the existence of the above-mentioned material weakness, the Company believes that the consolidated financial statements in this filing fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods presented, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
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 Company’s business is performed under fixed price contracts and the following factors, among others discussed herein, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: uncertainties in today’s global economy and global competition, and difficulty in predicting defense appropriations, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, and market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company-made components. 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. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
