Basis of Presentation
|
|
The accompanying unaudited 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 months ending March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2010 annual report and the notes thereto.
|

|
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 and Cash Equivalents
|
|
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term certificates of deposits.
|
|
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 $113,000 at March 31, 2011 and $117,000 at December 31, 2010.
|
|
Revenue Recognition
|
|
Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.
|
|
Inventories
|
|
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition, which approximates actual cost (first-in, first-out). Market provisions in respect of net realizable value and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $647,000 and $651,000 at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, 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.
|
|
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 tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:
|
Buildings and improvements
|
5-39 years |
|
|
Machinery and equipment
|
5-15 years |
|
|
Tooling
|
3-5 years |
|
|
Income Taxes
|
|
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, a consolidated New York State income tax return and separate Pennsylvania and Arkansas state income tax returns.
|
|
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
|
|
Supplemental cash flow information
|
|
Income taxes paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $22,000 and $20,000, respectively. Interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 amounted to approximately $15,000 and $17,000, respectively.
|
|
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
|
|
Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.
|
|
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
|
|
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined no circumstances that would require testing of impairment of long lived assets existed at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
|
|
Use of Estimates
|
|
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
|
Reclassifications
|
|
Certain balances as previously reported were reclassified to conform with 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. Refer to Note 12, Business Segments, for disclosures related to customer concentrations.
|
|
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
|
|
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

Property, plant and equipment includes land and building in Elma, New York, under a $5,000,000 capital lease which can be purchased for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated amortization on the building amounted to approximately $2,325,000 and $2,293,000, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $32,000 and $35,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The associated current and long-term liabilities are discussed in Note 5, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Property, plant and equipment also includes machinery and equipment under a $588,000 capital lease with related party. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accumulated amortization on the machinery and equipment amounted to approximately $119,000 and $98,000, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $21,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The associated current and long-term liabilities are discussed in Note 6, Capital Lease – Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Depreciation expense amounted to $112,000 and $107,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The combined depreciation and amortization expense were $167,000 and $163,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company believes that it maintains property and casualty insurance in amounts adequate for the risk and nature of its assets and operations and which are generally customary in its industry.

(A)
|
The Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were issued by a government agency to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/advanced technology facility. Annual sinking fund payments of $170,000 commenced December 1, 2000 and continue through 2013, with a final payment of $2,620,000 due December 1, 2014. The Company has agreed to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit if there are draws on that letter of credit. The Company pays the letter of credit bank an annual fee of 1% of the amount secured thereby and pays the remarketing agent for the bonds an annual fee of 1/4% of the principal amount outstanding. The Company’s interest under the facility capital lease has been pledged to secure its obligations to the government agency, the bank and the bondholders.
|
|
The Company also has an unsecured $1,000,000 line of credit on which there was no balance outstanding at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
|
|
Certain lenders require the Company to comply with debt covenants as described in the specific loan documents, including a debt service ratio. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.
|

|
Capital Lease – Related Party
|
|
On November 3, 2009, the Company entered into a capital lease with a related party of the Company for certain equipment to be used in the expansion of the Company’s capabilities and product lines. See Note 10, Related Party Transactions, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on the related party transaction. Monthly payments of $7,500, which include an imputed fixed interest rate of 2.00%, commenced November 3, 2009 and will continue through the fourth quarter of 2016. At March 31, 2011, the present value of the minimal lease payment is approximately $475,000 (after subtracting approximately $27,000 of imputed interest).
|
7.
|
Income Taxes
|
|
The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
|
|
The Company and/or its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction and in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Arkansas. During the third quarter of 2009, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (NYS) commenced an examination of the Company’s New York State franchise tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. In the third quarter of 2010, the examination was completed and resulted in no change to the Company’s originally filed returns. Also, during the third quarter of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s Federal Income tax returns for years 2008 and 2009. In the first quarter of 2011, the examination was completed and resulted in no material adjustments to the originally filed returns. The 2007 and 2010 federal and 2008 through 2010 state tax returns remain open for potential examination by taxing authorities.

In January of 2006, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase by the Company of up to 250,000 shares of its common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. On October 31, 2008, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized the purchase of an additional 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s current purchase program. As of March 31, 2011, the Company has purchased 238,088 shares and there remain 211,912 shares available to purchase under this program. There were no shares purchased by the Company during the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
|
|
On April 4, 2011, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend will be paid on May 20, 2011 to shareholders of record on April 29, 2011 and will be approximately $336,000 in the aggregate. This fourth consecutive annual dividend does not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis.
|
|
Earnings Per Share
|
|
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on 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.

Commitments
|
|
The Company leases certain equipment and real property pursuant to operating lease arrangements. Total rental expense in the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and future minimum payments under such leases are not material to consolidated financial statements. The Company also leases certain personal property being accounted for under a capital lease. See also Note 6, Capital Lease – Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on the capital leases.

|
Related Party Transactions
|
|
During 2009 the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary that leased certain personal property from a related party through the execution of a capital lease. See Note 6, Capital Lease-Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company also entered into a real property lease agreement, with the same related party, which provides for annual rental of $60,000. In addition, in the event the Company is successful in obtaining certain tax and/or other incentives from the state the entity operates in, the Company will be required to purchase the building at the appraised value of $506,000. The Company did not exercise its purchase option, but, in 2010, the lessor and the Company extended the lease including purchase option through November 2011. Additionally, in the event that the Company purchases the building, there is an arrangement payable to the related party, providing a threshold in annual earnings is reached by the new subsidiary, which will result in a percentage payment which could be as low as Zero dollars to a maximum total in the aggregate of $600,000 which is non-recurring. These transactions are disclosed as related party transactions because the wife of the Company’s President/COO is the sole shareholder of the company that is leasing/selling the assets. Purchases for inventory from the related party amounted to $0 and $17,000 during the first three months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Business Segments
|
|
The Company operates in two business segments, Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and Consumer Products Group (CPG). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in 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 and other edged 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 March 31, 2011, the Company had Identifiable Assets of approximately $29,004,000 ($28,506,000 – December 31, 2010) of which approximately $15,560,000 ($15,342,000 – December 31, 2010) was for ATG and approximately $13,444,000 ($13,164,000 – December 31, 2010) was for CPG.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
|
Management Discussion
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 approximately 40% and 46%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the sales revenues for both the ATG’s and CPG’s operations. The Company is optimistic relative to these continuing opportunities and recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, U.S. foreign/domestic policies, policies of other nations, the level of military operations and other factors. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the specific impact of these factors on future financial results.
|
|
The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects of terrorism and the threat of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.
|
|
The ATG continues its aggressive 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. There are substantial uncertainties in the current global economy that are compounded with certain airliner delivery ramp-ups and other delivery stretch outs which in turn affect the Company’s sales revenues from period to period in 2011 and beyond. 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 that are based on changes in the global economy and other factors.
|
|
The Company’s CPG develops new commercial products and products for government and military applications. Included in the significant uncertainties in the near and long term are the effects of the U. S. and world stimulus plans and the difficulty to accurately project the net effect of the vagaries inherent in the government procurement process and programs. 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/products.

Sales
|
|
The Company’s consolidated sales increased approximately $391,000 or 5.0% for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same three month period in 2010. The increase is due to increased shipments of $656,000 at the Advanced Technology Group (ATG) offset by a decrease of $265,000 in shipments at the Consumer Products Group (CPG). Procurements and timing of shipments under Government contracts at the CPG may, at times, significantly impact operating results from period to period.
|
|
Cost of Sales
|
|
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue increased approximately 5% for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same period in 2010 because of the CPG’s product mix, volume of products shipped during the period and lower profit margins which reflects the write off of start up costs associated with new product lines/products and development efforts.
|
|
The Company continues to aggressively pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and other operating efficiencies through capital investments in updated and new equipment/machinery as well as investing in the development and training of its labor force.
|
|
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
|
|
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses remained consistent at approximately $1,297,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010. However, costs of SG&A as a percentage of revenue were reduced by over 5% from period to period. Selling, general and administrative expenses are attributable to the cost of sale and marketing of products (i.e., costs of internal and external sales efforts, catalog production, and the promotion of new and existing products in current and new markets). Also included in SG&A expenses are the labor and related costs for general and administrative support, professional, legal and information technology costs.
|
|
Interest Expense
|
|
Interest expense decreased for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 due to the decrease in average outstanding debt and interest rates. See also Note 5, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
|
|
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
|
|
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively consistent for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its delivery commitments and to meet the information technology related capital expenditure requirements.
|
|
Other Income
|
|
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. The decrease in other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 when compared to the same three month period in 2010 is primarily due to the market driven decline in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
|
|
Income Taxes
|
|
The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 30.0% and 33.3% for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate reflects the annual effective rate for federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and decreased due to benefits relating to R&D tax credits. See also Note 7, Income Taxes, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information concerning income tax.
|
|
Net Income
|
|
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 decreased $204,000 or 32.8% when compared to the same period ended March 31, 2010. The decrease in net income is primarily the result of decreased sales and product mix in combination with the write-off of start-up costs for new product lines/products primarily at the CPG.
|
|
Liquidity and Capital Resources
|
|
The Company’s primary liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable, capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt. At March 31, 2011, the Company had working capital of approximately $19,283,000 ($18,838,000 – December 31, 2010) of which approximately $4,170,000 ($4,447,000– December 31, 2010) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.
|
|
The Company used approximately $118,000 in cash from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to using $585,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Cash was generated primarily through net income and timing differences on prepaid income taxes and accrual items. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 include working capital requirements, mainly inventory and prepayments on insurances and payments for employment and property taxes. Cash generated and used in operations is consistent with sales volume, customer expectations and competitive pressures. The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the first three months of 2011 included current principal payments on long-term debt. The Company also expended approximately $101,000 for capital expenditures.
|
|
At March 31, 2011, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company also has an unsecured $1,000,000 line of credit on which there is no balance outstanding at March 31, 2011. If needed, this can be used to fund cash flow requirements. The Company believes that it has adequate internal and external resources available to fund expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through fiscal 2011 as supported by the level of cash/cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations and bank line of credit.
