Note D - Long-term Debt

The Company has a senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo with a credit limit up to $30 million and an initial term through September 30, 2013. The facility allows the Company to choose among interest rates at which it may borrow funds. The interest rate is the prime rate plus one half percent (effectively, 3.75% at July 31, 2013) or LIBOR plus two and three quarter percent (effectively, 3.0% at July 31, 2013), which is paid monthly. The credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the domestically located assets of the Company and the Company has pledged 65% of its equity ownership interest in some of its foreign entities. The Company is required to be in compliance with several financial covenants. In conjunction with the Spitfire acquisition, two of the financial covenants required by terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility were amended as of May 31, 2012. The Company was in violation of certain of its financial covenants at July 31, 2012 and received a waiver for the financial covenant violations. The Company renegotiated its financial covenants with Wells Fargo during the quarter ended October 31, 2012 and extended the credit facility through October 31, 2014. As of April 30, 2013, the Company again amended its credit agreement and renegotiated two of the financial covenants required by the terms of the Company’s senior secured credit facility. At July 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with its amended financial covenants. As of July 31, 2013, there was a $19,263,208 outstanding balance and $10,736,792 of unused availability under the credit facility.

Note E - Tijuana, MX Operation Move

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company relocated its Tijuana, MX operation to a new facility within Tijuana, MX. The Company incurred a total of approximately $424,000 in relocation expenses as a result of the move during fiscal year 2013, of which, approximately $399,000 of the relocation expenses were included in cost of products sold and consist primarily of moving expenses related to equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the prior Tijuana facility. Of the total relocation expenses, approximately $25,000 was recorded in selling and administrative expenses.

Note F - Acquisition

In addition to the foregoing, the Company agreed to assume (i) the Seller’s obligations under certain specified contracts and Governmental Authorizations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), (ii) specified trade accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Seller as agreed upon by the parties and (iii) specified inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman and/or their subsidiaries and associated companies. Further, each of DAC and Cayman retained the liabilities associated with its respective operations, which is customary in transactions involving the purchase or sale of all of the equity securities of an entity. As a result, the Company indirectly acquired such liabilities through the Transaction.

The Credit Amendment

Concurrent with the Transaction, the Company entered into amendments of its credit facility with Wells Fargo (“the Credit Amendment”). The Credit Amendment modified certain financial covenant thresholds applicable to the Company, added property acquired in the Transaction as collateral for the loan to the Company, permitted the Company to acquire certain inter-company payables involving the Seller, DAC, Cayman or the subsidiaries and associated companies and permitted the Company to discharge and release the account payable owed by the Seller to the Company in partial consideration for the Transaction.

Reasons for the Transaction

The Company believes its acquisition of the Business will allow a comprehensive approach to solving major appliance producers’ issues with integrating electronics into their platforms. The acquisition also added two manufacturing operations in locations that the Company believes will augment the Company’s international footprint. In addition, the acquisition of the Business will allow the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets. In conjunction with the acquisition, professional fees incurred during fiscal 2013 and 2012, were $803,006 and $530,565, respectively. The professional fees were recorded as selling and administrative expenses.

Accounting

The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting, and on the date of the acquisition, the Company assessed the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities (primarily using level 3 measurement inputs) and an allocated purchase price of $18,944,307. The allocation of the purchase considerations was based upon estimates made by the Company with the assistance of independent valuation specialists. The revised purchase price allocation as of May 31, 2012, was as follows:

 

     Estimated Fair Value  

Cash

   $ 1,142,597   

Current assets

     10,074,168

Goodwill

     3,222,899   
  

 

 

 

Total Net Assets

   $ 18,944,307   
  

 

 

 

The amounts allocated to customer relationships, backlog, trade names, non-compete agreements and patents are estimated by the Company based on the analysis performed by independent valuation specialists, primarily through the use of discounted cash flow techniques. Appraisal assumptions utilized under these methods include a forecast of estimated future net cash flows, as well as discounting the future net cash flows to their present value. Acquired intangible assets are being amortized over the estimated useful lives as set forth in the following table:

The estimated asset lives are determined based on projected future economic benefits and expected life cycles of the acquired intangible assets. The amount assigned to goodwill is not being amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually or under circumstances that may indicate a potential impairment. Goodwill is deductible for federal income tax purposes over a period of 15 years.

The Company’s estimate of the fair value of the contingent consideration ($2,320,000 as of the acquisition date) was based on expected operating results of the Business through fiscal 2019 and the specific terms of when such consideration would be earned. Those terms provide for additional consideration to be paid to Seller or its owner based on a percentage of sales and pre-tax profits over those years in excess of certain minimums. The Company discounted expected payments by its weighted average cost of capital of 11.5%. Payments are to be made quarterly each year and adjusted after each year end audit. The Company has made three quarterly payments of $65,000 each in fiscal 2013. As of April 30, 2013, the Company had not changed its estimated aggregate consideration expected to be earned under this arrangement. Any changes in the Company’s estimate will be reflected as a change in the contingent consideration liability and as additional or credits to selling and administrative expenses, as will changes in the current fair value caused by the continual decrease in the discount period between the current balance sheet date and the estimated payout dates. Such fair value changes were not material during fiscal 2013. The value of the 50,000 shares of restricted stock issued as part of the purchase price was $169,011 based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on the acquisition date discounted by 15% to account for the restrictions associated with that issuance.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire and instead began selling directly to Spitfire’s former customers.

Pro Forma Results

The results of the Business for the period June 1, 2012 through July 31, 2012 have been included in the consolidated financial statement for the three month period ended July 31, 2012 and includes sales of $3,966,521 and a net loss of $568,594.

Note H – Critical Accounting Policies

Management Estimates and Uncertainties - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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. Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Note H - Critical Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of the Company’s electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer. In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company’s policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from our facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order. Finished goods inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility. Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer. The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer. The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements. The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month. This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer. Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes. The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances). The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications. Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market. The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory. The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss. Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold. The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions. Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management.

Goodwill - Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations. The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment. The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action. However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test, including computing the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value. If the fair value is less than its carrying value, a second

step of the test is required to determine if recorded goodwill is impaired. The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for goodwill in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test. The Company will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of February 1, 2013 and determined that no impairment existed as of the date of the impairment test.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment. Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company’s impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities. This analysis requires management judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates. The Company conducts annual reviews for idle and underutilized equipment, and review business plans for possible impairment. Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be earned by the use of the asset group. When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value.

Income Tax - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may only be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.

The Company adjusts its tax liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available. Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from its current estimate of the tax liabilities. These differences will be reflected as increase or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

New Accounting Standards:

There are no recent accounting standards that had, or are expected to have, a significant effect on these consolidated financial statements.

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

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex, S.A. de C.V., Digital Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd., Spitfire Controls (Cayman) Co. Ltd. and SigmaTron International Trading Co., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, “SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan branch (collectively, the “Company”) and other Items in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations. Words such as “continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual results could differ materially. Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from our customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets and goodwill impairment testing; the variability of our customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance, including conflict minerals; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth, including its integration of the Spitfire operation acquired in May 2012. These and other factors which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout this Annual Report and as risk factors, and may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements speak as of the date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise required by law.

Overview:

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services (“EMS”), which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products. In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including: (1) automated and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and shipment services; and (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies. The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan.

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process. Certain of these components are available only from single sources or a limited number of suppliers. In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain components from a single source or a small number of suppliers. The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers. The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers. The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance. Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the type of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers. Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit. In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly. Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold. Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels. Consignment orders accounted for less than 5% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012.

In the past, the timing of production and delivery of orders has caused the Company to experience significant quarterly fluctuations in its revenues and earnings. The uncertainty associated with the worldwide economy in general, and the United States economy specifically, makes forecasting difficult. The Company has seen signs of a slowdown in demand at the beginning of its second quarter of fiscal 2014. However; the Company has not lost any customers or specific programs. The overall market remains difficult and the Company continues to experience pricing pressures.

On May 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire. Spitfire was a privately held Illinois corporation with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company. Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry. Although North America was its primary market, Spitfire’s applications can be used worldwide. The Company provided manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, and was a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its OEM electronic controls business.

The Company’s Spitfire division provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances. It is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (“AHAM”), as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001-2008 certified. The acquisition has enabled the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire. The Company instead began selling directly to Spitfire’s former customers.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Company relocated its Tijuana, MX operation to a new facility within Tijuana, MX. The Company incurred a total of approximately $417,420 in relocation expenses to date, as a result of the move. For the first quarter ended July 31, 2012, relocation expenses of approximately $391,750 are included in cost of products sold and consist primarily of moving expenses related to equipment, the write-off of leasehold improvements and the restoration of the prior Tijuana facility.

Results of Operations:

Net Sales

Net sales increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 to $56,166,061 from $47,629,229 for the three month period ended July 31, 2012. Sales volume increased for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the appliance, consumer electronics and medical/life sciences marketplaces. The increase in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a decrease in sales in the fitness, telecommunications, gaming, industrial electronics and semiconductor equipment marketplaces. The increase in revenue for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 is a result of sales to customers arising out of the Spitfire acquisition, as well as our existing customers’ increased demand for product and the addition of new customers. The Company has seen signs of a slowdown in demand at the beginning of its second quarter of fiscal year 2014 and anticipates an overall sluggish and volatile economy without sustained growth.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased during the three month period ended July 31, 2013 to $6,288,408 or 11.2% of net sales, compared to $4,705,898 or 9.9% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in gross profit for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 was primarily the result of sales to customers arising out of the Spitfire acquisition, as well as increased sales revenue from our existing customers and the addition of new customers and programs. The Company saw improved performance from the two manufacturing facilities obtained through the Spitfire acquisition due to achieving economies of scale. The Company experienced steady performance from its other operations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2013 the Company incurred one-time expenses of approximately $392,000 in relocation expenses for its Tijuana Mexico operation.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses increased to $4,855,558 or 8.6% of net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2013, compared to $4,665,405 or 9.8% of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The net increase for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 was $190,153. Of the increase noted above, $453,751 was for salaries and other administrative expenses attributable to Spitfire operations. In addition, general insurance and bonus expenses increased by approximately $88,500 for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in the foregoing selling and administrative expenses were partially offset by a decrease in legal, accounting, and other professional fee expenses related to the Spitfire acquisition in fiscal 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased to $213,960 for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 compared to $188,337 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in interest expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 was due to increased borrowings under the Company’s banking arrangements during the quarter. Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, increase.

Taxes

The income tax expense from operations was $272,875 for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 compared to an income tax benefit of $54,700 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The income tax expense for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 is a result of pre-tax income for the period compared to a pre-tax loss for the quarter ended July 31, 2012. The Company’s effective tax rate was 22% and 37% for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate between periods was driven by a higher level of pre-tax income by foreign subsidiaries, which are subject to lower statutory tax rates.

Net Income/Loss

Net income from operations was $967,464 for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 compared to net loss of $93,144 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The Company incurred approximately $589,000 of one-time expenses related to the Spitfire acquisition and approximately $392,000 of one-time expenses related to the relocation of its Tijuana Mexican operation during the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first fiscal quarter of 2014 were each $0.24 compared to basic and diluted loss per share of $0.02 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Operating Activities.

Cash flow provided by operating activities was $2,375,341 for the three months ended July 31, 2013, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $4,741,213 for the same period in the prior fiscal year. During the first three months of fiscal year 2014, cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily the result of net income, the non-cash effects of depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and an increase of $1,365,181 in trade accounts payable. The increase in accounts payable was due to timing of payments in the ordinary course of business. Net cash provided by operating activities was partially offset by an increase in inventories and accounts receivable. The increase in accounts receivable of $99,385 and inventories of $1,797,940 was primarily related to increased customer orders during the period.

Cash flow used in operating activities was $4,741,213 for the three months ended July 31, 2012. During the first three months of fiscal year 2013, cash flow used in operating activities was primarily the result of an increase in inventory and accounts receivable. The increase in inventory of $1,871,827 was primarily related to the Spitfire acquisition and increased customer orders. The increase in accounts receivable of $5,592,925 was due to increased sales volume from both existing customers and sales to customers due to the Spitfire acquisition. Net cash used in operating activities was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable, the non cash effects of depreciation, amortization, stock compensation and related expenses.

Investing Activities.

During the first three months of fiscal year 2014, the Company purchased approximately $4,900,000 in machinery and equipment to be used in the ordinary course of business.

time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.

The Company anticipates that its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources will be adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or renew its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist. In the event the business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates, customers delay payments, or the Company considers an acquisition, additional financing resources could be necessary in the current or future fiscal years. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.

The impact of inflation on the Company’s net sales, revenues and incomes from continuing operations for the past two fiscal years has been minimal.
