GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

Graham Corporation's (the "Company's") Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include its (i) wholly-owned foreign subsidiarysubsidiaries located in Suzhou, China and (ii) wholly-owned domestic subsidiary located in Lapeer, Michigan.Ahmedabad, India.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-018-03 of Regulation S-X, each as promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 20172020 presented herein was derived from the Company’s audited Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2017.2020.  For additional information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20172020 ("fiscal 2017"2020").  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year, which ends March 31, 20182021 ("fiscal 2018"2021").

 

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE RECOGNITION:

The Company recognizes revenue on contracts when or as it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the customer.  For contracts in which revenue is recognized upon shipment, control is generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer.  For contracts in which revenue is recognized over time, control is generally transferred as the Company creates an asset that does not have an alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date.

The following table presents the Company’s revenue disaggregated by product line and geographic area:

A performance obligation represents a promise in a contract to provide a distinct good or service to a customer.  The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.  Transaction price reflects the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferred products.  A contract’s transaction


price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized as the performance obligation is satisfied.  In certain cases, the Company may separate a contract into more than one performance obligation, while in other cases, several products may be part of a fully integrated solution and are bundled into a single performance obligation.  If a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the Company allocates the total transaction price to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods underlying each performance obligation.  The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the measurement of the contract price all contracts withtaxes assessed by government authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers.  The Company does not adjust the contract price for the effects of a planned manufacturing processfinancing component if the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between when a product is transferred to a customer and when the customer pays for the product will be one year or less. Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in excessrevenue and the related costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of four weeks (which approximates 575 direct labor hours) usingproducts sold.

Revenue on the percentage-of-completion method.  The majority of the Company'sCompany’s contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the customer.  Revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but represent the majority of revenue, is recognized under this methodology.over time.  However, in the three months ended June 30, 2020, revenue recognized over time was lower than revenue recognized upon shipment due to limited production on large contracts as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 60% and 45% of revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 40% and 55% of revenue for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  The Company recognizes revenue over time when contract performance results in the creation of a product for which the Company does not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed.  To measure progress towards completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a ratio of direct labor hours incurred to date to management’s estimate of the total labor hours to be incurred on each contract or an output method based upon completion of operational milestones, depending upon the nature of the contract.  The Company has established the systems and procedures essential to developing the estimates required to account for contracts using the percentage-of-completion method.  The percentage-of-completion method is determinedperformance obligations over time.  These procedures include monthly review by comparing actual labormanagement of costs incurred, to a specific date to management's estimateprogress towards completion, identified risks and opportunities, sourcing determinations, changes in estimates of the total laborcosts yet to be incurred, on each contract or completionavailability of operational milestones assigned to each contract.  Contracts in progress are reviewed monthlymaterials, and execution by management, and salessubcontractors.  Sales and earnings are adjusted in current accounting periods based on revisions in the contract value due to pricing changes and estimated costs at completion.  Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when evident to management.

RevenueThe timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract assets) and customer deposits (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Unbilled revenue represents revenue on contracts not accounted for using the percentage-of-completion methodthat is recognized utilizingover time and exceeds the completed contract method.  The majority of the Company's contracts (as opposed to revenue) have a planned manufacturing process of less than four weeks and the results reported under this method do not vary materially from the percentage-of-completion method.  The Company recognizes revenue and all related costs on these contracts upon substantial completion or shipmentamount that has been billed to the customer.  Substantial completionUnbilled revenue is consistently definedseparately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company may have an unconditional right to payment upon billing and prior to satisfying the performance obligations.  The Company will then record a contract liability and an offsetting asset of equal amount until the deposit is collected and the performance obligations are satisfied.  Customer deposits are separately presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Customer deposits are not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received less than one year before the product is completed or used to procure specific material on a contract, as well as related overhead costs incurred during design and construction.

Contract liabilities at least 95% complete with regard to direct labor hours.  Customer acceptance is generally required throughout the construction processJune 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 include $8,823 and $3,660, respectively, of customer deposits for which the Company has no further material obligations under its contracts afteran unconditional right to collect payment.  Trade accounts receivable, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes corresponding balances at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  Revenue recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2020 was $7,350.  Changes in the net contract liability balance during the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 were impacted by a $1,091 increase in contract assets, of which $1,751 was due to contract progress offset by invoicing to customers of $660.  In addition, contract liabilities increased $4,099 driven by revenue is recognized.recognized in the current period that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2020 offset by new customer deposits of $11,449.

Receivables billed but not paid under retainage provisions in the Company’s customer contracts were $1,141$2,926 and $971$2,016 at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, respectively.


Incremental costs to obtain a contract consist of sales employee and agent commissions.  Commissions paid to employees and sales agents are capitalized when paid and amortized to selling, general and administrative expense when the related revenue is recognized.  Capitalized costs, net of amortization, to obtain a contract were $72 and $45 at June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively, and are included in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The related amortization expense was $10 and $46 in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company’s remaining unsatisfied performance obligations represent a measure of the total dollar value of work to be performed on contracts awarded and in progress.  The Company also refers to this measure as backlog.  As of June 30, 2020, the Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $107,220.  The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 70% to 75% of the remaining performance obligations within one year, 15% to 20% in one to two years and the remaining beyond two years.

 

 

NOTE 3 – INVESTMENTS:

Investments consist of certificates of deposits with financial institutions.  All investments have original maturities of greater than three months and less than one year and are classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  All investments held by the Company at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 are scheduled to mature on or before May 31, 2018.September 24, 2020.

 



NOTE 4 – INVENTORIES:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market,net realizable value, using the average cost method.  Unbilled revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represents revenue recognized that has not been billed to customers on contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method.  For contracts accounted for on the percentage-of-completion method, progress payments are netted against unbilled revenue to the extent the payment is less than the unbilled revenue for the applicable contract.  Progress payments exceeding unbilled revenue are netted against inventory to the extent the payment is less than or equal to the inventory balance relating to the applicable contract, and the excess is presented as customer deposits in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives.  Intangible amortization expense for each of the three-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $45.  Intangible amortization expense for each of the nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $135.  As of December 31, 2017, amortization expense is estimated to be $45 for the remainder of fiscal 2018 and $180 in each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company performed its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment review.  The Company assesses impairment by comparing the fair value of its reporting units and intangible assets to their related carrying value.  Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-07, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.  The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets of liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 – Valuations determined from quoted prices for similar assets of liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.


Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  The degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The Company estimated the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill of its commercial nuclear power business related to the December 2010 acquisition of Energy Steel & Supply Co. (“Energy Steel”) using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the fair value of the business is calculated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.  Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions.  The discount rate used is based on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the business and the projected cash flows.  The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy outlined above.  The impairment review indicated that the fair value of the permits, tradename and goodwill of the business were substantially lower than the carrying value due to reduced investment from the U.S. nuclear power market, the strength of the Energy Steel brand relative to larger more vertically integrated suppliers, and the bankruptcy of Westinghouse Electric Company which resulted in the stoppage of work at the Summer, SC nuclear facility.  As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 the Company recorded impairment losses of $8,600, $500, and $5,716 for permits, tradename and goodwill, respectively.

NOTE 1110 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in, or accompanying, products made by the Company.  The Company is a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims.  The claims in the Company’s current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos-related suits that named the Company as a defendant, which either were dismissed when it was shown that the Company had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled for immaterial amounts.  The Company cannot provide any assurances that any pending or future matters will be resolved in the same manner as previous lawsuits.

As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, the Company was subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.


12


Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which the Company is, or may become, a party to cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, management does not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

 

NOTE 1211 – INCOME TAXES:

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several domestic and international jurisdictions.  In most tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed.  The Company is subject to U.S. federal examination for the tax years 20152016 through 20172019 and examination in state tax jurisdictions for the tax years 20132015 through 2017.2019.  The Company is subject to examination in the People’s Republic of China for tax years 20142016 through 2016.2019 and in India for tax year 2019.

There was no0 liability for unrecognized tax benefits at either December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2017.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law.  The Tax Act, which is effective on January 1, 2018, significantly revises the U.S. tax code by, among other changes, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, requiring a one-time transition tax on accumulated foreign earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  At December 31, 2017, the Company has not completed its accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act; however, the Company has made a reasonable estimate of the effects on its existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax.  

The Company remeasured certain U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the future, which is generally 21%, and provisionally recorded an income tax benefit of $1,575 related to such remeasurement in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.  The Company is still analyzing certain aspects of the Tax Act and refining its calculations, which could potentially affect the measurement of these balances or potentially give rise to new deferred tax amounts.  

The one-time transition tax is based on the total post-1986 earnings and profits (“E&P”) of our foreign subsidiary that has previously been deferred from U.S. income taxes.  The Company recorded a provisional amount for its one-time transition liability of its foreign subsidiary resulting in additional income tax expense of $137 in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.  The Company has not yet completed its calculation of the total post-1986 foreign E&P for the foreign subsidiary.  The transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings held in cash and other specified assets.  The amount may change when the Company finalizes the calculation of post-1986 foreign E&P previously deferred from U.S. federal taxation and finalize the amounts held in cash or other specified assets.

NOTE 15 – ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING CHANGES:

In the normal course of business, management evaluates all new accounting pronouncements issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”("FASB"), the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other authoritative accounting bodiesbody to determine the potential impact they may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014,June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers.No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)," This guidance establishes principleswhich replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from a company’s contracts with customers.  The guidance requires companies to apply a five-step model when recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services.  The guidance also includes a comprehensive set of disclosure requirements regarding revenue recognition.  The guidance allows two methods of adoption:  (1) a full retrospective approach where historicalmost financial information is presented in accordanceassets with the new standardcurrent expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology.  Under the CECL method, the Company will be required to immediately recognize an estimate of credit losses expected to occur over the life of the financial asset at the time the financial asset is originated or acquired.  Estimated credit losses are determined by taking into consideration historical loss conditions, current conditions and (2) a modified retrospective approach where the guidance is appliedreasonable and supportable forecasts.  Changes to the most current period presented in the financial statements.  In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Deferral of the Effective Date," which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with earlier application permitted as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)," to clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing," which clarifies the identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance.  In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):  Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which clarifies the implementation guidance related to collectability, presentation of sales tax, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition.  The Company plans to adopt these standards using the modified retrospective approach in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending March 31, 2019.  The Company has developed a project plan and is currently reviewing its contracts and evaluating the impact of the guidance on its revenue.  The Company currently believes that the most significant impact of adopting the guidance will be the timing of revenue recognition. The Company believes that revenue on the majority of its contracts will continueexpected lifetime credit losses are required to be recognized upon shipment while revenue on its larger contracts are expected to be recognized over time as these contracts meet specific criteria established in the new standards.each period.  The Company is in the process of implementing changes to its business processes, systems and controls to support the recognition and disclosure requirements under the new guidance.  See Note 2 for a description of the Company’s current revenue recognition policy.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory," which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.  This ASUstandard is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  Thethe Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.   

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)", which requires companies to recognize all leases as assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.  This ASU retains a distinction between finance leases and operating leases, and the classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the current accounting guidance.  As a result, the effect of leases on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows is largely unchanged from previous generally accepted accounting principles.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is permitted. The Company believes the adoption of this ASU may have a material impact on its assets and liabilities due to the addition of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to its Consolidated Balance Sheet, however, it does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Statement of Income or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, "Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."  ASU 2016-09 changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payment awards to employees, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows.  ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company adopted the new guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.


In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)", which clarifies the presentation and classification of eight specific issues on the cash flow statement.  This ASU is effective for public businesses for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.April 1, 2023.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017,August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07,2018-14, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans-General (Subtopic 715-20),", which amended its guidance related to the presentation of net periodicremoves disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies specific disclosure requirements and adds disclosure requirements identified as relevant for defined benefit pension cost and net periodicother postretirement benefit cost.plans.  This amendment is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted. The amendment requires application on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.  The Company believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.”  The amended guidance requiressimplifies the serviceaccounting for income taxes, eliminating certain exceptions to the general income tax principles, in an effort to reduce the cost component be disaggregated from the other componentsand complexity of net benefit cost.application.  The service cost component of expenseamended guidance is required to be reported in the income statement in the same line item as other compensation costs within income from operations.  The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations.  This ASU is effective for public businesses for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier application is permitted.  The guidance requires application on either a prospective, retrospective or modified retrospective basis, contingent on the income tax exception being applied.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact thatbelieves the adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management does not expect any other recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Current Market Conditions

AsOur global energy and petrochemical markets turned downward during the latter part of fiscal 2020.  These markets were adversely impacted by a resultdramatic reduction in oil prices, partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but importantly, also due to geopolitical imbalance of supply compared with demand, which began to appear before COVID-19 was prevalent.  Accordingly, volatility in crude oilpricing began prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and natural gas prices,has increased because of it.  Customers have significantly reduced their capital budgets to invest in upgrading and turnaround maintenance for existing facilities.  This has impacted, and is expected to continue to impact, both our capital equipment sales as well as our short cycle business.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further impacted our customers, the markets which they serve and the operation of our business.  The near term price uncertainty, ourimpact on global energy marketsand petrochemical demand was immediate and significant.  Our customers’ plans for capital spending, operational upgrades and maintenance spending have been insignificantly reduced and their outlook for this calendar year, and likely beyond, has turned negative.  We believe the quantity of projects available to compete for will be fewer and pricing will be challenging.  The timing and catalyst for a contracted state for the past three years.  In response to the market conditions, our customers in the downstream energy sector have sharply reduced capital spending in each of the last three years.  This impacted not only new capacity, but also revamping and turnaround for routine maintenance.  Oil prices have risen over the past six months from $45 to over $60 per barrel.  As a result, certain projects where our equipment is utilized have begun to proceed, however, it is not clear whether a sustained capital spending recovery in our markets has begun.are unclear.

 

Capital spending inOver the nuclear market for both new capacity and to maintain existing facilities continues to trend downward.  Capital spending in the nuclear market is down 25% to 35% compared with 3 to 4 years ago, according to a report from the Nuclear Energy Institute.  Additionally, the March 2017 bankruptcy filing by Westinghouse Electric Company (“Westinghouse”) and the decision to cease building the two new reactors located in Summer, South Carolina has dramatically impacted the health of the

domestic nuclear market. The contracted capital spending within the commercial nuclear power market has had the effect of measurably reducing new orders and consequently reducinglong-term, our sales.

Our long-term view for the refiningglobal energy and petrochemical markets is that general economic fundamentals will drive increasing demand.demand and result in continued capital investment to satisfy increasing global demand for energy and chemicals.  These fundamentals include rising populations, strong emerging market economic growth, and overall global economic expansion, whichexpansion.  


We believe the long-term outlook in our key markets supports our growth plans.  However, the energy markets we believeserve will result in capital investment necessaryalso be impacted by increased use of renewable energy sources and conservation.  In addition, over the long term, should demand for transportation fuels flatten to satisfy increasingdecline, we anticipate that the use of oil as a feedstock to petrochemicals will increase and will provide additional opportunities for us to provide products to our customers.  However, until there is greater clarity regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, energy demand.demand and customer financial strength, new order levels may be challenged due to the resulting weak energy and petrochemical markets.

 

OurDemand for our products in the defense industry is related to the naval nuclear propulsion market has demandwhich is tied to aircraft carrier and submarine vessel construction schedules of the primary shipyards who service the U.S. Navy.  We expect growth in our naval nuclear propulsion business based onto result from our strategic actions to increase our market share, our successful performance, and expected increases in demand.  For more information, referTo date, there has not been an adverse impact to demand in the defense market due to the heading "Strategy and Outlook" within this Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The chart below shows the impact of our successful diversification strategy.   Nearly 60%strategy into multiple U.S. Navy defense platforms.  The diversification began with our entry into the nuclear carrier program and expanded into both the Virginia and Columbia class nuclear submarine programs.  Our U.S. Navy defense business makes up 51% of our total backlog at June 30, 2020.  Each vessel platform has made up at least 10% of our total backlog for the past three years.  On June 30, 2020, the nuclear carriers, Virginia class submarines and Columbia class submarines, make up 15%, 12% and 24% of our backlog, as of December 31, 2017 is fromrespectively.  We believe this diversification will be especially beneficial during periods where our commercial markets not served by us in the Fiscal 2007-2009 time frame.are weak.

The ThirdFirst Quarter and First Nine Months of Fiscal 20182021 Compared With the ThirdFirst Quarter and First Nine Months

of Fiscal 20172020

In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, production at our facility in Batavia, New York was dramatically reduced to proactively address the risk to our employees of the COVID-19 pandemic.  We began the quarter at 10% of normal staffing capacity and gradually increased to normal capacity by early June 2020. On average we were at approximately 50% of normal staffing capacity across the quarter.  Despite not receiving any relief from the U.S. federal government’s Payroll Protection Program ("PPP"), we continued to pay full wages and benefits to all of our employees during this capacity reduction.  This reduction in available capacity yet still incurring the cost of full staffing significantly affected our sales and earnings in the quarter.  We did, however, benefit from a project which had been delayed due to COVID-19 from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 into the first quarter of fiscal 2021 that was subcontracted to a vendor in China.  This project represented nearly 30% of the sales in the quarter.

 

Sales for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20182021 were $17,281,$16,710, a 24%19% decrease as compared withfrom sales of $22,654$20,593 for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2017.2020.  Included in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 were sales of $1,276, from our commercial nuclear utility business which was sold in the prior year first quarter.  Our domestic sales, as a percentage of aggregate product sales, were 65%56% in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20182021 compared with 77%70% in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2017.2020.  Domestic sales year-over-year decreased $6,160,$5,010 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, or 35%. year-over-year.  International sales increased $787,$1,127, or 15%18%, in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20182021 compared with the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2017.2020.  Sales in the three months ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 were 31%16% to the refining industry, 24%48% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 21% for the defense (U.S. Navy) industry, 15% to other commercial and industrial applications.  Sales in the three months ended June 30, 2019 were 36% to the refining industry, 35% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 10% tofor the powerdefense (U.S. Navy) industry including the nuclear market, and 35%19% to other commercial and industrial applications, including the U.S. Navy.  Sales in the three months ended December 31, 2016 were 28% to the refining industry, 19% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 19% to the power industry, including the nuclear market, and 34% to other commercial and industrial applications, including the U.S. Navy.  Fluctuationsapplications.  Fluctuation in sales among markets, products and geographic locations can vary measurablyvaries, sometimes significantly, from quarter-to-quarter based on timing and magnitude of projects.  See also "Current Market Conditions," above.  For additional information on anticipated future sales and our markets, see "Orders and Backlog" below.

Sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were $55,356, a decrease of $10,789, or 16% compared with sales of $66,145 for the first nine months of fiscal 2017.  The decrease in fiscal 2018 year-to-date sales was due to weaker domestic sales.  Our domestic sales, as a percentage of aggregate product sales, were 67% in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 compared with 74% in the same period in fiscal 2017.  Domestic sales decreased $11,900, or 24%, while international sales increased by $1,111, or 7%.  International sales accounted for 33% and 26% of total sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively.  Sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were 25% to the refining industry, 30% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 14% to the power industry, including the nuclear market, and 31% to other commercial and industrial applications, including the U.S. Navy.  Sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2017 were 31% to the refining industry, 22% to the chemical and petrochemical industries, 23% to the power industry, including the nuclear market, and 24% to other commercial and industrial applications, including the U.S. Navy.

Our grossGross profit margin for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 was 21% compared with 28% for the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 decreased 43% compared with fiscal 2017, to $3,585 from $6,301.  Gross profit was impacted by lower sales and margins were impacted by a weaker mix of projects and less cost absorption.

Our gross profitoperating margin for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2018 was 22%2021 were 9% and (14%), respectively, compared with 23% and (2%), respectively, for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 2017.2020.  Gross profit for the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20182021 decreased 20% compared with fiscal 2017,2020, to $12,281$1,568 from $15,422.  The decrease in gross profit was$4,714, primarily due to lower volume.

our Batavia facility being partially shut down during the majority of the quarter.  This shutdown impacted revenue while certain operating costs, primarily production labor wages, continued to be paid.

SG&A expenses as a percent of sales for the three and nine-monththree-month periods ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and 2019 were 24%23% and 21%22%, respectively.  SG&A expenses in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20182021 were $4,066, an increase$3,902, a decrease of $262, or 7%, compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2017 SG&A expenses of $3,804, due to bad debts in the commercial nuclear power market.  Excluding the commercial nuclear power market bad debts, SG&A expenses were $3,832, or 22% of sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.  SG&A expenses in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 were $11,447, an increase of $810, or 8%,$665 compared with the first nine monthsquarter of fiscal 20172020 SG&A expenses of $10,637.  This increase$4,567.  Included in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was principally$621 of costs related to the benefit of insurance proceeds of $759 received in the prior year and the $234 bad debt in the commercial nuclear power marketutility business, which was sold in the current three-month period, as described below.  Excluding these two items, SG&A expenses were $183, or 2%, lower.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2018, we performed our annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment review.  We estimated the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill of our commercial nuclear power business related to the December 2010 acquisition of Energy Steel & Supply Co. (“Energy Steel”).  The impairment review indicated that the fair value of the permits, tradename and goodwill of the business were substantially lower than the carrying value due to reduced investment from the U.S. nuclear power market, the strength of the Energy Steel brand relative to larger more vertically integrated suppliers, and the bankruptcy of Westinghouse which resulted in the stoppage of work at the Summer, SC nuclear facility.  As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 we recorded impairment losses of $8,600, $500, and $5,716 for permits, tradename and goodwill, respectively.  The total impairment charge was $14,816 before taxes and $12,852 after taxes.  Additionally, we incurred a $46 revenue reversal, and a $234 bad debt charge, related to the bankruptcy of Westinghouse and the stoppage of work at the Summer, SC nuclear facility.  The total before and after tax cost of these two charges was $280 and $208, respectively.  Additionally, we recognized a gain of $1,416 related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities, which were impacted by the reduction in federal income tax rates from the Tax Act.  The deferred tax gain of $1,438 included $2,034 for adjusting the rates on the deferred tax liability of the Energy Steel acquisition offset by a charge of $596 for other tax items.

Prior to the third quarter, in the first half of fiscal 2018, we incurred a pre-tax restructuring charge of $316 ($224 after tax) for severance costs related to certain headcount reductions.  In the first half of fiscal 2017, we incurred a pre-tax restructuring charge of fiscal 2017 was $630 ($441 after tax) related to certain headcount reductions.  The reduction in headcount in the first half of fiscal 2018 was approximately 6% of our global workforce.  The annual savings from these reductions is expected to be $1,500.  Approximately half of the savings should be realized in fiscal 2018.

Interest income for the three and nine-monththree-month periods ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $142$94 and $455, respectively,$399, respectively.  The decrease in interest income is due to dramatically lower market investment rates compared with $100 and $272, respectively,rates during the prior year period.  Interest expense was $5 for the same periodsquarter ended December 31, 2016.  Interest expense for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 2017 was $3 and $8, respectively,June 30, 2020, compared with $3 and $7, respectively, for the same periodsquarter ended December 31, 2016.June 30, 2019.

The reduction in the year-to-dateOur effective tax rate from 28% in the secondfirst quarter toof fiscal 2021 was 17%, compared with 23% in the third quarter as well as in the first nine months of fiscal 2018 was due primarily to adjustments related to the Tax Act.  The effective tax rates for the comparable three and nine month periods of fiscal 2017 were 29% and 27%, respectively.

Net (loss) income and (loss) income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were ($11,622) and ($1.19), compared with $1,840 and $0.19, respectively, for the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  Excluding impairment and other related charges for our commercial nuclear business as well as the gain from implementation of the Tax Act, net income and income per diluted share for the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were ($1) and $0.00, respectively, and were $1,840 and $0.19 in the third quarter of fiscal 2017.  2020.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 20182021 are expected to be between approximately $1,500 and$2,000 to $2,500.  We have a capital project for approximately $1,500 which will be completed in the next few months, however, it is not clear whether the payments will occur in this fiscal year or early in next fiscal year.  Approximately 80% of our fiscal 2018 capital expenditures are expected to be for productivity-enhancing machinery and equipment, with the remaining amounts expected to be used for information technology upgrades and other items.

Cash and investments were $74,182$67,172 on December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 compared with $73,474$73,003 on March 31, 2017, up $708.2020, down $5,831.  

 

We invest net cash generated from operations in excess of cash held for near-term needs in short-term, or less than 365 days, certificates of deposit, money market accounts or U.S. government instruments, generally with maturity periods of up to 180 days.  Our money market account is used to securitize our outstanding letters of credit, which reduces our cost on those letters of credit.  Approximately 95% of our cash and investments are held in the U.S.  The remaining 5% is invested in our China operations.  

 

Our revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. ("JP Morgan Chase") provides us with a line of credit of $25,000, including letters of credit and bank guarantees.  In addition, our JP Morgan Chase agreement allows us to increase the line of credit, at our discretion, up to another $25,000, for total availability of $50,000.  Borrowings under this credit facility are secured by all of our assets.  We also havehad a $5,000$10,000 unsecured line of credit with HSBC, N.A. ("HSBC"), which was increased to $14,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  Letters of credit outstanding on December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and March 31, 20172020 were $7,401$14,888 and $8,372,$13,328, respectively.  The outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 were issued by JP Morgan Chase HSBC, as well as Bank of America (under our previous credit facility).and HSBC.  There were no other amounts outstanding on our credit facilities at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017.2020.  The borrowing rate under our JP Morgan Chase facility as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 was the bank’s prime rate, or 4.50%3.25%.  Availability under the JP Morgan Chase and HSBC lines of credit was $25,168$24,112 and $25,761$21,672, respectively, at December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, respectively.  We believe that cash generated from operations, combined with our investments and available financing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate both to meet our cash needs for the immediate future and to support our growth strategies.

 

OrdersOrders and Backlog

 

Orders for the three-month period ended December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 were $40,528$11,468 compared with $17,699$15,089 for the same period last year, a decrease of $3,621.  Included in the prior year, an increaseorders for the first three months of 129%.fiscal 2020 was $2,996 for the commercial nuclear business, which was sold in that quarter.  Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting us to supply products and/or services.  Domestic orders were 47%28% of total orders, or $19,144,$3,232, and international orders were 53%72% of total orders, or $21,384,$8,236, in the currentfirst quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2017,2020 when domestic orders were 59%74%, or $10,396,$11,157, of total orders, and international orders were 41%26%, or $7,303,$3,932, of total orders.  Over 80% of the international orders in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were from Canada.


During the first nine months of fiscal 2018, orders were $68,679,Backlog was $107,220 at June 30, 2020, compared with $57,123 for the same period of fiscal 2017, an increase of $11,556, or 20%.  For the first nine months of fiscal 2018, refining orders increased by $19,121, power orders increased $812, chemical and petrochemical decreased by $6,167 and other commercial and industrial applications, including the U.S. Navy, decreased by $2,210.  See “Current Market Conditions” above for additional information.

Outlook

Capital spending in the energy markets we serve began to decrease during the second half of fiscal 2020 and the pace of activity materially contracted as COVID-19 became a global health issue in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.  The weak energy markets have continued into fiscal 2021.  Our bidding activity also slowed in the second half of fiscal 2020, with more international opportunities in emerging markets than in domestic markets.  At June 30, 2020, 51% of our backlog was attributed to equipment for refinery project work, 14%the defense industry, specifically the U.S. Navy. Our pipeline for chemical and petrochemical projects, 9% for power projects, 57% forthe U.S. Navy projectscontinues to be robust, but quarterly fluctuations in order levels will occur due to the size and 3% for other industrial applications.  At December 31, 2017, we had no projects on hold.timing of release of the U.S. Navy projects.  Defense programs in backlog are planned to deliver $20 to $25 million per year of revenue in fiscal 2021 and beyond.

 

Strategy and Outlook

Prolonged weaknessWhile the near term opportunities in the global energy and petrochemical markets has continuedhave slowed significantly due to negativelythe combined impact our business in fiscal 2018.  Our oil refiningof the COVID-19 pandemic and chemical market customer spending has started to improve compared with last year, but this will have no effect on our fiscal 2018 sales.  We anticipate that the nuclear power market will continue to be weak and unpredictable during the next few years,geopolitical imbalance of supply, and this determination led tomay continue for the impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets which we recognized in the third quarter.

Despite the current downturn,foreseeable future, we continue to believe in the long-term potentiallonger-term opportunities of the energy marketsand petrochemical markets. Coupled with our diversification strategy into the defense industry, we serve.  We intend to expandbelieve that the long-term strength of our participation and market share.  We believe this anticipated long-term strengthmarkets will support our strategygoal to significantly grow our business when the energy markets begin to recover.business. We have invested in capacity to serve our commercial refining and chemical/petrochemical customers as well as to expand the work we do for the U.S. Navy. In additionWe intend to these organic growth

opportunities, we continue to look for organic growth opportunities as well as acquisitions or other business combinations that we believe will allow us to expand our presence in both our existing and ancillary markets.  We are focused on growing our business, reducing earnings volatility, and further diversifying our business and product lines.

 

The prolonged contractionOur expectations for sales and profitability in fiscal 2021 assume that we are able to operate our production facility in Batavia, New York at or near normal capacity for the last three quarters of fiscal 2021. In our first quarter of fiscal 2021, our production capability was significantly reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our production was at approximately 50% of normal production for the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  This outlook is based upon the assumption that we are able to operate our production facility, have access to the global supply chain, including our subcontractors, with minimal or no disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic or any other unforeseen events.

After our weak first quarter of fiscal 2021, we expect to operate at near normal capacity. We project that approximately 70% to 75% of our $107,220 June 30, 2020 backlog will convert to sales over the next twelve months. We expect the remaining backlog will convert beyond twelve months, which includes a combination of U.S. Navy orders that have a long conversion cycle (up to five years) as well as certain commercial orders, the conversion of which has been extended by our customers. We had two projects totaling $3,165 cancelled in fiscal 2020 and a third project of $654 cancelled in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. At June 30, 2020, we had two projects totaling $562 on hold by our customers. In addition, we have three projects which have been delayed by our customers due to COVID-19 and related energy marketsmarket dynamics, and we serve continues to cause near-term uncertainty, affecting our outlook for fiscal 2018.  Wetherefore expect revenue in fiscal 2018of $4,118 to be approximately $75,000.  delayed beyond fiscal 2021.

 

We expect fiscal year 2021 revenue to be between $90,000 and $95,000, gross profit margin in fiscal 2018 to be in the 21%20% to 22% range.  We are experiencing the impact of lower pricing from orders received over the past yearrange and the under-utilization of our production facilities in fiscal 2018. We believe that production overhead absorption will be weak, which we expect in turn will put continued pressure on gross profit margins in our fourth quarter.

SG&A during fiscal 2018 is expectedexpenses to be between $15,000$17,000 and $15,500.$18,000.  We expect interest income to be de minimis, given the low market rates on short term cash and investments.  Our effective tax rate during fiscal 2018, excluding the tax effect of the impairment loss and the one-time impact of the new Tax Act recorded in the third quarter,2021 is expected to be between 24%approximately 22%.  This outlook incorporates the very challenged first quarter which had been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, assumes that we are able to operate near normal capacity for the last nine months of fiscal 2021 and 26%, which wedo not have lowered duea significant production interruption related to the reduced federal corporate income tax rate.  Fiscal 2018 will benefit from the fiscal fourth quarter being taxed at a lower rate.  COVID-19 pandemic.

 

We continue toCash flow was negative in the first quarter of fiscal 2021, although, we expect operatingpositive cash flow infrom operations for the remainder of fiscal 2018 will be lower than fiscal 2017.  Fiscal 2017 cash flow benefited from the build-up of customer deposits.

Contingencies and Commitments

We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in or accompanying our products.  We are a co-defendant with numerous other defendants in these lawsuits and intend to vigorously defend ourselves against these claims.  The claims in our current lawsuits are similar to those made in previous asbestos lawsuits that named


us as a defendant.  Such previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work, or were settled by us for immaterial amounts.

As of December 31, 2017,June 30, 2020, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which we are or may become a party cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made for the majority of the claims, we do not believe that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make significant assumptions.We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements relate to labor hour estimates and establishment of operational milestones which are used to recognize revenue under the percentage-of-completion method, fair value estimates of identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations,overtime recognition model, accounting for contingencies, under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits.  For further information, refer to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017.  2020.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 or March 31, 2017,2020, other than operating leases and letters of credit.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from market changes) to which we are exposed are foreign currency exchange rates, price risk, and project cancellation risk.

risk and trade policy.

The assumptions applied in preparing the following qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding foreign currency exchange rate, price risk and project cancellation risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.


Foreign Currency

International consolidated sales for the first three months and nine months ended December 31, 2017of fiscal 2021 were 35% and 33%, respectively,44% of total sales compared with 23% and 26%, respectively,30% for the same periodsperiod of fiscal 2017.2020.  Operating in markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates.  Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the foremost being our ability to compete for orders against foreign competitors that base their prices on relatively weaker currencies.  Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified.  In addition, cash can be adversely impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars.  In each of the first three and nine months of each of fiscal 20182021 and fiscal 2017,2020, all sales by us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, for which we were paid, were denominated in the local currency of the respective subsidiary (U.S. dollars or Chinese RMB).  

We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases.  In each of the first three and nine months of fiscal 2018,2021 and 2020, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 1%approximately 2% of the cost of products sold.  In the first three and nine months of 2017, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 2% and 3% of cost of products sold, respectively.  At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange agreements to hedge our exposure against potential unfavorable changes in foreign currency values on significant sales and purchase contracts negotiated in foreign currencies.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in the periods being reported on in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and as of December 31, 2017June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, we held no forward foreign currency contracts.

Price Risk

Operating in a global marketplace requires us to compete with other global manufacturers which, in some instances, benefit from lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions.  Although we believe that our customers differentiate our products on the basis of our manufacturing quality, responsive and flexible service, and engineering experience and excellence, among other things, such lower production costs and more favorable economic conditions mean that certain of our competitors are able to


offer products similar to ours at lower prices.  In market downturns, we typically experience depressed price levels.  Moreover, theThe cost of metals and other materials used in our products have experiencedcan experience significant volatility.  Such factors, in addition to the global effects of the ongoing volatility, and disruption of the capital and credit markets, have resultedas such, can impact our ability to reflect this volatility in downward demand and pricing pressure on our products.

pricing.

Project Cancellation and Project Continuation Risk

 

Open orders are reviewed continuously through communications with customers.  If it becomes evident to us that a project is delayed well beyond its original shipment date, management will move the project into "placed on hold" (i.e., suspended) category.  Furthermore, if a project is cancelled by our customer, it is removed from our backlog.  We attempt to mitigate the risk of cancellation by structuring contracts with our customers to maximize the likelihood that progress payments made to us for individual projects cover the costs we have incurred.  As a result, we do not believe we have a significant cash exposure to projects which may be cancelled.  At December 31, 2017,In the first quarter of fiscal 2021, we had noone job for $654 cancelled.  At June 30, 2020, we had two projects totaling $562 on hold.  

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusion regarding the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures

 

Our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President-Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) each have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Based on such evaluation, and as of such date, our President and Chief Executive Officer and Vice President-Finance & Administration and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in all material respects.  

 

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


GRAHAM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

FORM 10-Q

DECEMBER 31, 2017  We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our non-productive employees were working remotely during the majority of the first quarter due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

Except as stated below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part 1 – Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by global public health pandemics, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected if the COVID-19 pandemic, or another global health crisis, impacts our employees, suppliers, customers, financing sources or others’ ability to conduct business or negatively affects consumer and business confidence or the global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected large segments of the global economy, including the markets we operate in, since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.  In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in late March 2020, we reduced staffing at our facility in Batavia, New York to approximately 10%, which significantly reduced our production capabilities for approximately three weeks.  We have since gradually increased our staffing, which reached normal levels in early June 2020, and have applied numerous new health and safety protocols for those working onsite.  On average, we were at approximately 50% of normal staffing capacity across the quarter.  This reduction in staffing significantly affected our sales and earnings in the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The pandemic and any additional preventative or protective actions that governments or we may take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our business or our suppliers, distribution channels, and customers, including business shutdowns or disruptions for an indefinite period of time, reduced operations, restrictions on shipping, fabricating or installing products, reduced consumer demand or customers’ ability to make payments.  We have and may continue to experience additional operating costs due to increased challenges with our workforce (including as a result of illness, absenteeism or government


orders), implementing further precautionary measures to protect the health of our workforce, increased project cancellations or projects put on hold, access to supplies, capital, and fundamental support services (such as shipping and transportation).  For example, at June 30, 2020, two projects were on hold and one project was cancelled during the quarter.  Furthermore, at June 30, 2020, we had three projects which have been delayed by our customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related energy market dynamics.  Any resulting financial impact cannot be fully estimated at this time, but may materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among others.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks discussed in Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.  The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact continues to change rapidly and additional impacts that we are presently unaware of may arise.
