SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with FASB ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606“), the Company records revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services promised to its customers. Under ASC 606, the Company follows a five-step model to: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price for the contract; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (5) recognize revenue using one of the following two methods:

Revenue RecognitionOver time

 

The Company designs, manufactures and sells customspecialized chemical vapor deposition equipment through contractual agreements. These system sales require the Company to deliver functioning equipment that is generally completed within three to eighteen months from commencement of order acceptance. The Company recognizes revenue from system sales over time by using an input method based on costs incurred as it depicts the Company’s progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Under this method, revenue arising from fixed price contracts is recognized as work is performed based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligations. Incurred costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs. Contract material costs are included in incurred costs when the project materials have been purchased or moved to work in process, and installed, as required by the project’s engineering design. Cost basedCost-based input methods of revenue recognition require the Company to make estimates of costs to complete the projects. In making such estimates, significant judgment is required to evaluate assumptions related to the costs to complete the projects, including materials, labor and other system costs. If the estimated total costs on any contract are greater than the net contract revenues, the Company recognizes the entire estimated loss in the period the loss becomes known and can be reasonably estimated.

 

“Contract assets,” include unbilled amounts typically resulting from system sales under contracts and represents revenue recognized that exceeds the amount billed to the customer. The amount may not exceed their estimated net realizable value. Contract assets are classified as current based on our contract operating cycle.

 

“Contract liabilities,” include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. The Company typically receives down payments upon receipt of order and progress payments duringas the manufacturing cycle. system is manufactured.

Contract assets and contract liabilities are classified as current based on our contract operating cycle and reported on a contract-by-contract basis, net of revenue recognized, atas these contracts in progress are expected to be substantially completed within the end of each reporting period.next twelve months.

Point in time

 

For non-system sales of products and services, revenue is recognized at the point in time revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Recent Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which require that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the increase or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. On November 15, 2019, the FASB delayed the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The amendments in this update are now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the effect of this update on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and currently believes it should not have a material impact.

NOTE 9:         INCOME TAXES

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against all of the net deferred tax assets. This was based on management’s assessment, including the last two years of operating losses, that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets may not be realized in the future.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted by the United States Congress. As a result of the enactment of the CARES Act, net operating losses (“NOL’s”) generated in 2018-2020 can now be carried back for five years and resulted in the Company recognizing approximately $1.5 million of a tax benefit, of which $.7 million was a receivable at December 31, 2021. This tax receivable was collected in the three months ended March 31, 2022. Management continues to evaluate for potential utilization of the Company’s deferred tax asset, which has been fully reserved for, on a quarterly basis, reviewing our economic models, including projections and timing of orders, and cost containment measures.

NOTE 10:EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period presented. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

 

A reconciliation of basic to diluted shares used in the earnings per share calculation is as follows:

(2) outbreak and resulting pandemic and its impact on both the global economic and operating environment and specifically on its impact to the Company, its employees, its operations and its financial condition.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization recognized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the global spread of the disease, the severity of illnesses it causes and its effects on society. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, the governments of many countries, states, cities and other geographic regions have taken preventative or protective actions, such as imposing restrictions on travel and business operations, including complete or partial government shutdowns of many schools and businesses, including the Company, and advising or requiring individuals to limit or forego their time outside of their homes. Accordingly, the COVID-19 outbreak (including the impact of the COVID Omicron variant) has severely restricted the level of economic activity in many countries, including the United States, and continues to materially and adversely impact global economic activity.  In particular, the aerospace sector, for which the Company relies on a significant part of its business, has been faced with significant reductions to its business due to reduced air travel which has negatively affected new order bookings and has materially and adversely affected the Company’s revenues to date.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

We are confronting a very difficult operating environment as the global economy continues to experience the challenges from the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, surging inflationary pressures and adverse supply chain disruptions. The specific impacts on our Company have included:

Significant geopolitical developments across Europe and Asia (including the war in Ukraine) have and may continue to restrict our ability to procure raw materials and components such as nickel and integrated circuits, as well as impact our ability to sell its products into China, Russia and other Eastern European and Asian regions.

Supply chain disruptions have led to much longer lead times to acquire raw materials for production and has led to inflationary pressures in both materials and labor. These supply chain disruptions have impacted our ability to recognize revenue more timely as it delays our manufacturing processes.

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The pandemic’s impact on long distance air travel resulted in a reduction in orders for the Company’s aerospace equipment products that adversely affected our revenues since the start of the pandemic.

 

We have been actively monitoring the coronavirus ("COVID-19") outbreak and its impact globally.  Our primary focus to this point has been to ensure the health and safety of our employees.  To that end, we have adopted social distancing practices where appropriate, implemented travel restrictions, and have taken actions to ensure that our facilities are cleaned and sanitized regularly.  These are novel and challenging times and the magnitude of this crisis is requiring us to consider all options to promote the safety of employees, including, where appropriate, or where required to comply with foreign, national, state or local governmental authority recommendations, guidelines, and/or mandates, the temporary reduction or suspension of work at certain of our locations and production facilities to protect employees and curb the spread of the coronavirus.  All of these factors have adversely impacted our operating results.  In particular, the aerospace sector, for which we rely on for a significant part of our business, has been faced with significant reductions to its business due to reduced air travel which has negatively affected new order bookings and has materially and adversely affected the Company’s revenues to date. Due to the timing of the COVID-19 outbreak, our new order levels during the first quarter of 2021 have seen continued substantial reductions, while new orders in the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2021 were substantially higher at approximately $6.0 million, $6.1 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and new orders in the first quarter of 2022 were approximately $4.1 million. Significant geopolitical developments across Europe and Asia have and may continue to restrict our ability to procure raw materials and components such as nickel and integrated circuits, as well as impact our ability to sell our products into China, Russia and other Eastern European and Asian regions. We continue to be unable to predict the extent of the impact the pandemic and geopolitical uncertainties will have on our financial position and operating results for the remainder of 2022 and in future periods due to numerous uncertainties, (including the impact of the COVID Omicron variant), supply chain disruptions, rapidly rising costs and the impact on the aerospace sector, but the impact could be material during any future period affected either directly or indirectly by this pandemic.the pandemic and the geopolitical uncertainties.  The longer-term impacts from the pandemicthese matters are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For information on the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates refer to Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 vs. March 31, 2021

Revenue

Our revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.7 million compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.3 million or 38.3%. The increase in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 versus the prior year period was primarily attributable to increased revenue of $.8 million from the CVD Equipment segment related to spare parts and equipment sales, $.6 million from our SDC segment, offset, in part by, decreased revenue of $.1 million from the CVD Materials segment. Despite achieving a sales increase of $1.3 million or 38.3% this quarter, as compared to the prior year quarter, overall sales levels continue to be negatively affected, primarily attributable to the impacts of COVID-19 including delays in our supply chain delivery of components which impacts our ability to recognize revenue more timely. However, as a result of increased new orders, primarily in the last three quarters of 2021, the result of a recovery in the marketplace, exclusive of aerospace, as well as the execution of our operating plan, we have achieved four sequential quarters of revenue increases during 2021. Quarterly revenue in 2021 was $3.4 million, $4.0 million, $4.3 million and $4.7 million, during Q1 to Q4, respectively, and revenue in Q1 2022 was essentially unchanged at $4.7 million. Our backlog at March 31, 2022 was approximately $9.9 million, a decrease of $.5 million as compared to December 31, 2021 of $10.4 million. This decrease is due to the timing of new orders in Q1 2022 of $4.1 million, as compared to revenue of $4.7 million. While aerospace sales had represented as much as 60% of our total revenue, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 it represented approximately 15.1% and 21.2%, respectively. This is due to the negative effect the COVID-19 crisis has had initially in 2020 and continuing to date on the aerospace sector, which resulted from reduced travel and reduction of industry gas turbine engine sales.

The revenue contributed by the CVD Equipment segment for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $2.8 million, which totaled 60.7% of our overall revenue, and was 40.8% or $.8 million higher than the segment’s $2.0 million contribution made in the three months ended March 31, 2021, which totaled 59.6% of our overall revenue. This revenue increase is the result of increases of $.4 million in spare parts sales, which continue to be impacted by the slow down in aerospace demand due to COVID-19, and an increase of $.4 million from equipment sales.

Revenue for our SDC segment was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $.6 million resulting from the receipt of one large order in 2022, compared to 2021.

Revenues for our CVD Materials segment were $.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was to $.8 million, with a gross profit margin of 16.5%, as compared to a gross profit of $.4 million and a gross profit margin of 13.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in gross profit and gross profit margin was primarily the result of leveraging fixed costs on higher sales levels, and product mix, which more than offset certain component cost increases and compensation costs. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we started to experience increased costs on certain components as well as delays in supply chain delivery, which also impacts revenue as well as manufacturing lead times and efficiencies. We are also seeing the effects of the macroeconomic inflationary cost environment that has resulted in increased costs for labor and materials. We have been placing orders with more lead time to help mitigate the manufacturing delays, as well as assessing other suppliers or components to attempt to mitigate the potential cost impacts. In addition, we are utilizing our in-house flexible manufacturing to attempt to further mitigate both potential schedule delivery delays and material cost increases. In late 2021, we initiated price increases on new quotations in line with inflationary pressures which we anticipate willbelieve could mitigate our cost increases and we anticipate will benefit margins during 2022 and 2023.

Geopolitical Uncertainties and COVID-19

We are confronting a very difficult operating environment as the global economy continues to confront the challenges from the pandemic, geopolitical conflicts, surging inflationary pressures and adverse supply chain disruptions.

Significant geopolitical developments across Europe and Asia (including the war in Ukraine) have adversely impactedand may continue to restrict our operating results.  In particular,ability to procure raw materials and components such as nickel and integrated circuits, as well as impact our ability to sell our products into China, Russia and other Eastern European and Asian regions. Supply chain disruptions resulting from both the pandemic and geopolitical matters have led to much longer lead times to acquire materials for production and has led to surging inflationary pressures. Since 2020, our aerospace sector for which we rely on a significant part of our business, has been faced with significant reductions to its business due to reduced long distance air travel which has negatively affected new order bookings and has materially and adversely affected the Company’s revenues to date.

32

We continue to be unable to predict the extent of the impact the pandemic and geopolitical uncertainties will have on our financial position and operating results for the remainder of 2022 and beyond due to numerous uncertainties, (including the impact of the COVID Omicron variant), supply chain disruptions, rising costs and the impact on the aerospace sector, but the impact could be material during any future period affected either directly or indirectly by this pandemic.  The longer-term impacts from the pandemic and geopolitical uncertainties are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Our return to profitability is dependent upon, among other things, the receipt of new equipment orders, our ability to mitigate the lesseningimpact of the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our businesssupply chain disruptions and the Aerospace market, improvement in the operations of the materials business,inflationary pressures, as well as managing planned capital expenditures and operating expenses.

 

Based upon all of these factors, we believe that our cash and cash equivalent positions and our projected cash flow from operations will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve to eighteen months of the filing of this Form 10-Q. Should the current environment continue longer or worsen, we will continue to assess our operations and take actions anticipated to maintain our operating cash to support the working capital needs.

Item 4.                           Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 13d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”).

 

Based on that review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with others in our management, have determined that as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

 


Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
