NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Business Organization and Purpose

Note 1.Business Organization and Purpose

 

SCI Engineered Materials, Inc. (“SCI”, or the “Company”), an Ohio corporation, was incorporated in 1987. The Company operates in one segment as a global supplier and manufacturer of advanced materials for Physical Vapor Deposition (“PVD”) Thin Film Applications. The Company is focused on specific markets within the PVD industry (Photonics, Thin Film Solar, Glass and Transparent Electronics). Substantially all of the Company’s revenues are generated from customers with multi-national operations. The Company develops innovative customized solutions enabling commercial success through collaboration with end users and Original Equipment Manufacturers.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Note 2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.

Revenue Recognition - The Company enters into contracts with its customers that generally represent purchase orders specifying general terms and conditions, order quantities and per unit product prices. The Company has determined that each unit of product purchased represents a separate performance obligation. The Company satisfies its performance obligations and recognizes revenue at a point in time when control of a unit of product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products. For the majority of product sales, transfer of control occurs when the products are shipped from the Company's manufacturing facility to the customer. The cost of delivering products to the Company's customers is recorded as a component of cost of products sold. Those costs may include the amounts paid to a third party to deliver the products. Any freight costs billed to and paid by a customer are included in revenue.

The Company considers collectability of amounts due under a contract to be probable upon inception of a sale based on an evaluation of the credit worthiness of each customer. The Company sells its products typically under agreements with payment terms less than 45 days. The Company does not typically include extended payment terms or significant financing components in contracts with customers. The majority of the Company’s contracts have an obligation to transfer products within one year. Thus, the Company elects to use the practical expedient where incremental cost of obtaining a contract, such as commissions, is expensed when incurred because the amortization period for those costs is one year or less. The Company treats shipping and handling activities that occur after control of the product transfers as fulfillment activities, and therefore, does not account for shipping and handling costs as a separate performance obligation. Customer deposits are funds received in advance from customers and are recognized as revenue when the Company has transferred control of product to the customer. Product revenues are recognized upon shipment of goods as the customer has assumed the significant risks and rewards of ownership and the Company is entitled to payment at this point. Service revenues are recognized upon completion as the customer cannot realize the benefit of the service until fully completed.

Note 3.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Leases - In FebruaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU)2016-13 “Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU No. 2016-13 significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables, by replacing today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leasesunder which allowances will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognitionrecognized based on expected rather than incurred losses. ASU No. 2016-13 will become effective for us in the income statement. In July 2018,first quarter of 2023. We are evaluating the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases. The amendments in ASU 2018-10 clarify, correct or remove inconsistencies in the guidance provided under ASU 2016-02 related to sixteen specific issues identified. Also in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Targeted Improvements to Topic 842. This amendment provides the Company with an additional and optional transition method to adopt the new lease standard. Under this new transition method, the Company can apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption and present the accounting on a prospective or go-forward basis instead of applying to the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.  The new lease standard became effective for the Company January 1, 2019.

The Company elected to apply the new transition method upon adoption of the new standard.  The Company also elected the available practical expedients on adoption.  The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s income statements. The most significant impact of the new standard was the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liability of over $500,000 as of January 1, 2019.

Revenue Recognition - The core principle of ASC 606 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s analysis of sales contracts under ASC 606 supports the recognition of revenue at a point in time, typically when title passes to the customer upon shipment, which is consistent with the previous revenue recognition model.

The core principle of ASC 606 is supported by five steps which are listed below:

1.Identify the contract with the customer.
2.Identify the performance obligation in the contract.
3.Determine the transaction price.
4.Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
5.Recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach method as applied to customer contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. As a result, financial information for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 are presented in accordance with ASC 606, while comparative financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies prior to the adoption of ASC 606. Implementation of the standard did notthis update will have a material impact on the Company’sour financial statements as the Company’s method for recognizing revenue subsequent to the implementation of ASC 606 does not vary significantly from its revenue recognition practices under the prior revenue standard. Accordingly, there was no required cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.statements.

Note 7.Earnings Per Share

 

Basic income per share is calculated as income applicable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as diluted income applicable to common shareholders divided by the diluted weighted average number of common shares. Diluted weighted average number of common shares gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. Diluted earnings per share exclude all diluted potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. All convertible preferred stock and common stock options listed in Note 4 that were out-of-the-money or anti-dilutive were excluded from diluted earnings per share. The following is provided to reconcile the earnings per share calculations:

Note 8.Notes Payable

On April 17, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300. The PPP was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The term of the PPP loan is two years. The interest rate on this loan is 1.0% per annum, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. After the initial six-month deferral period, the loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest until maturity with respect to any portion of the PPP loan which is not forgiven as described below. The Company is permitted to prepay or partially prepay the PPP loan at any time with no prepayment penalties. Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for, and be granted, forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations and ongoing rulemaking by the SBA, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels. While there is no assurance the Company will obtain forgiveness of the PPP loan in whole or in part, it expects most (if not all) of this loan to be forgiven by the SBA.

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

Executive Summary

For the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had total revenue of $3,255,201. This was an increase of $602,566, or 22.7%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had total revenue of $10,012,187. This was an increase of $2,968,943, or 42.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Volume and pricing were higher in our photonics market during 2019. We expect revenue for the full year 2019 to exceed full year 2018. We anticipate revenue to be lower in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to recent quarters as a result of product mix and continued uncertainties concerning the thin film solar market in China.

Gross profit was $458,520 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $665,884 for the same three months in 2018 and $1,849,491 and $1,917,425 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Operating expenses were $391,649 and $519,187 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $1,442,519 and $1,353,025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The transition costs related to our new President and CEO working closely with our former President and CEO led to increased expenses during the first half of 2019. Our former President and CEO retired in June of 2019 and these expenses are expected to continue to be lower for the remainder of this year.

We have new materials under development that may replace the Cadmium Sulfide buffer layer in CIGS solar cells. These materials were tested at Case Western Reserve University during the second half of 2017 and the results support the use of our innovative material in thin film solar applications that could lead to higher efficiencies. We are working with customers through product trials and qualifications to accelerate adoption of these materials. We continue to invest in developing new products for all of our markets including transparent conductive oxide systems for the thin film solar and display markets as well as with our transparent electronic products. Those products involve research and development expense to accelerate time to market.

A bonding facility and on-site training was completed in the second quarter of 2019 pursuant to a joint agreement with publicly owned Konfoong Materials International Co., LTD (KFMI). KFMI will bond rotatable thin film solar Aluminum Zinc Oxide cylinders produced in Columbus, Ohio for thin film solar customers in China. This arrangement is intended to enable us to provide an advantage to thin film solar customers in China and to also enhance our access to this growing market. We will continue to produce the ceramic portion of the end product in our facility in Columbus. We will continue to exercise control over our trade secrets and proprietary property through assiduous scrutiny of our Intellectual Property. Our products for photonics and thin film solar customers in areas other than China will continue to be bonded at our manufacturing facility in Columbus.

Executive Summary

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. To date, COVID-19 has surfaced in nearly all regions around the world and resulted in restrictions and shutdowns implemented by national, state, and local authorities. As a result of the pandemic, we are complying with executive orders issued in Ohio and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines regarding safety procedures. These procedures include, but are not limited to: social distancing, staggering start times, remote working, and teleconferencing versus in person meetings. We are maintaining regular contact, via phone and other electronic means, with our customers and suppliers. During the third quarter of 2020, and perhaps longer, we may operate below our normal production schedule due to uncertainty in our domestic and global market due to COVID-19. Thus, we expect revenue to be lower in the second half of 2020 compared to the first six months of this year.

On April 17, 2020 we entered into an unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”), with a principal amount of $325,300. The PPP was established under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). This loan allowed us to pay our employees a full 40-hour week while production was below normal capacity. We anticipate that most (if not all) of this loan will be forgiven by the SBA following achievement of the loan requirements. We value all employees and wish to aid them through this difficult period. Management will continue to monitor our production and payroll needs going forward based on evolving circumstances.

Some employees worked remotely during most of the second quarter of 2020 and we do not believe it adversely affected our ability to maintain operations, including financial reporting. The Chief Financial Officer maintained constant contact with the accounting staff in addition to the Chief Executive Officer and the Operations Manager. We do not believe our disclosure controls and procedures were materially affected and there were no changes in controls. Communication was maintained with the Board of Directors as well. These employees returned to work in our office in June 2020.

Based on recent conversations with customers, we do not expect to experience any material impairments and do not anticipate any changes in accounting judgements. We are not aware of any material adverse impact on our supply chain and remain in contact with our suppliers.

We continue to face a period of uncertainty regarding the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on both our projected customer demand and supply chain. During this challenging economic environment, we are focused on continuing to take the necessary steps to respond quickly to changes in our business and maintaining our financial flexibility in the face of the unprecedented and continuing impact of COVID-19, including (but not limited to): reviewing and monitoring planned capital expenditures, reviewing all operating expenses for opportunities to reduce spending, and aligning inventory to estimated revenue.

We continue to monitor the rapidly evolving situation related to COVID-19 including guidance from federal, state and local public health authorities and may take additional actions based on these recommendations. In these circumstances, there may be developments outside our control requiring us to adjust our operating plan. As such, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of COVID-19 on our results of operations, cash flows and liquidity in the future.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and accompanying notes.Note 2 to the Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory allowances, property and equipment depreciable lives, patents and licenses useful lives, revenue recognition, tax valuation allowance, stock basedstock-based compensation and assessing changes in which impairment of certain long-lived assets may occur. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on our assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness or actual defaults are higher than our historical experience, our estimates of the recoverability of amounts due us could be adversely affected. Inventory purchases and commitments are based upon future demand forecasts. If there is a sudden and significant decrease in demand for our products or there is a higher risk of inventory obsolescence because of rapidly changing technology and customer requirements, we may be required to increase our inventory allowances and our gross margin could be adversely affected. Depreciable and useful lives estimated for property and equipment, licenses and patents are based on initial expectations of the period of time these assets and intangibles will benefit us. Changes in circumstances related to a change in our business, change in technology or other factors could result in these assets becoming impaired, which could adversely affect the value of these assets.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and managementobjectives. Management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Due to a segregation of duties material weakness described below, and based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2019, the Company’s disclosureDisclosure controls and procedures were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizinginclude, without limitation, controls and reporting, on a timely basis, information requiredprocedures designed to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and in ensuringensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief AccountingFinancial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure. Until


Item 4.Control and Procedures (continued)

Management previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed on February 5, 2020, for the year ended December 31, 2019, relating to insufficient segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management is aware of the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees currently working with general administrative and financial matters. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions shall be performed by separate individuals.

To address and remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described above, we are ableperformed a review of our related procedures and controls and strengthened cross approval of various functions, including financial reporting and disclosure review controls by the Chief Financial Officer, to hire additional employees, we willinclude the Chief Executive Officer and Audit Committee Chairperson where appropriate. We continue to report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors at least monthly (and more often as necessary). We believe this will continue to mitigate this weakness. This reporting includes balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of cash flows, and other detail supporting these statements. Accordingly, we believe

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Disclosure controls and procedures are defined by Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the financial statements includedExchange Act as controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in this report fairly present,reports filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operation, changes in shareholders’ equitythe SEC’s rules and cash flows for all periods presented.forms.

 

Inherent Limitations over Internal Controls

 

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Item 4.   ControlsManagement is responsible for the consistency, integrity, and Procedures (continued)presentation of information. To fulfill our responsibility, we maintain systems of internal control designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with established procedures. The concept of reasonable assurance is based upon recognition that the cost of the controls should not exceed the benefit derived. We believe our systems of internal control provide this reasonable assurance.

 

Management previously disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting in its annual report on Form 10-K, filed on February 5, 2019, for the year ended December 31, 2018, relating to insufficient segregation of duties consistent with control objectives. Management is aware of the risks associated with the lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees currently working with general administrative and financial matters. Due to our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions shall be performed by separate individuals. In order to remediate this weakness, we will need to hire additional employees. Although we will periodically reevaluate this situation, at this point we consider that the risks associated with such lack of segregation of duties and the potential benefits of adding employees to segregate such duties are not cost justified. Until we are able to hire additional employees, we will continue to report to the Audit Committee and theThe Board of Directors at least monthly (and more often as necessary). We believe these efforts address this weakness. These reports include balance sheets, statementsexercises its oversight role with respect to our systems of operations, statementsinternal control primarily through its Audit Committee, which is comprised of cash flows,independent directors. The Committee oversees our financial reporting, quarterly reviews and other detail supporting these statements.audits to assess whether their quality, integrity, and objectivity are sufficient to protect shareholders’ investments.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

ThereOther than the remediation described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures. Additionally, there were no changes in our internal controls that could materially affect our disclosure controls and procedures subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
