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.

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.  Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 40% and 30% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 60% and 70% of revenue for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  Revenue from contracts that is recognized upon shipment accounted for approximately 50% and 35% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and revenue from contracts that is recognized over time accounted for approximately 50% and 65% of revenue for the six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2020, revenue recognized over time as a percentage of total revenue was lower as compared with the prior year period due to limited production on large contracts during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  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 processSeptember 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 include $2,420 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 September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, respectively.  Revenue recognized in the three and six months ended September 30, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at March 31, 2020 was $2,700 and $10,050, respectively.  Changes in the net contract liability balance during the six months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by a $901 decrease in contract assets, of which $12,283 was due to contract progress offset by invoicing to customers


of $13,184.  In addition, contract liabilities decreased $2,145 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 $7,905.

Receivables billed but not paid under retainage provisions in the Company’s customer contracts were $1,141$2,232 and $971$2,016 at December 31, 2017September 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 $309 and $45 at September 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 $89 and $40 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $251 and $86 in the six months ended September 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 September 30, 2020, the Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $114,851.  The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 60% to 65% 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, 2017September 30, 2020 are scheduled to mature on or before May 31, 2018.December 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.

The Company paid no0 benefits related to its postretirement benefit plan during the ninesix months ended December 31, 2017.September 30, 2020.  The Company expects to pay benefits of approximately $83$77 for the balance of fiscal 2018.2021.


The components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost are included in the line item “Other income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The Company self-funds the medical insurance coverage it provides to its U.S. based employees.  The Company maintains a stop loss insurance policy in order to limit its exposure to claims.  The liability of $134$160 and $174$124 on December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017,2020, respectively, related to the self-insured medical plan is primarily based upon claim history and is included in the caption “Accrued compensation” as a current liability in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

 

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,September 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, 2017September 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 1514 – 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, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."  This guidance establishes principles 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 historical financial information is presented in accordance with the new standard and (2) a modified retrospective approach where the guidance is applied 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 continue 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.  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 ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  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 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.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU will have a material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)", which amended its guidance related to the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost.  The amended guidance requires the service cost component be disaggregated from the other components of net benefit cost.  The service cost component of expense 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, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this ASU will have 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 onon the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Current Market Conditions

We continue to operate within disrupted energy and petrochemical markets (which we refer to as our “commercial markets”).  A slowdown in our commercial markets began during the latter part of fiscal 2020.  This slowdown was primarily caused


by an excess supply of crude oil, which had a negative impact on commodity pricing.  The economic slowdown and corresponding reductions in demand for transportation fuel and petrochemical products caused by the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic further adversely affected our commercial markets.  As a result of volatilitythis combination of adverse supply-side and demand-side disruptions, our commercial customers have significantly reduced their operating budgets for products and services like those that we offer.  The timing and catalyst for a recovery in our commercial markets remains uncertain and we believe that in the near term the quantity of projects available for us to compete for will be fewer and that the pricing environment will continue to be challenging.

Over the long-term, however, we expect that population growth, an expanding global middle class and an increasing desire for more industrial products will drive increased demand for chemical and petrochemical products.  Moreover, once global economies return to stable growth, we expect investment in new global chemical and petrochemical capacity will resume and that such investments will drive growth in demand for our products and services.  

Energy markets, in particular crude oil and natural gas prices, and near term price uncertainty, our globalrefining, are undergoing a more fundamental evolution.  We believe that systemic changes in the energy markets have beenare being driven, in a contracted state forpart, by the past three years.  In response to the market conditions, our customersincreasing use by consumers of alternative fuels in the downstream energy sector have sharply reduced capital spending in eachlieu 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.fossil fuel.  As a result, certain projectswe anticipate demand growth for fossil-based fuels will be less than the global GDP growth rate and that crude oil refiners will focus new investments toward the installed base, and that inefficient refineries will close and new refining capacity will be co-located where fuels and petrochemicals are produced.  We also anticipate that future investment by refiners in renewable fuels (e.g., renewable diesel), in existing refineries (e.g., to expand feedstock processing flexibility, improve conversion of oil to refined products) to gain greater throughput, or to build new capacity (e.g., integrated refineries with petrochemical products capabilities) will continue to drive demand for our equipment is utilized have begun to proceed, however, it is not clear whether a sustained capital spending recovery in our markets has begun.products and services.

 

Capital spendingDemand for our products in the nuclear market for both new capacity anddefense industry is related 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 reducing our sales.

Our long-term view for the refining and petrochemical markets is that fundamentals will drive increasing demand.  These fundamentals include rising populations, strong emerging market economic growth, and overall global economic expansion, which we believe will result in capital investment necessary to satisfy increasing global energy demand.

Our naval nuclear propulsion market has demandwhich is tied to aircraft carrier and submarine vessel construction schedules of the primary shipyards who servicecontracted by the U.S. Navy.  We expect growth in our naval nuclear propulsion business based onwill result from our strategic actions to increase our market share, our successful performance, and expected demand. For more information, refer todemand increases.  The economic slowdown caused by the heading "Strategy and Outlook" within this Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

InCOVID-19 pandemic has not adversely effected demand for our products or services in the near term, given the current market conditions, new order levels are expected to remain volatile from quarter to quarter.  naval market.

 

The chart below shows the impact of our successful diversification strategy.   Nearly 60%strategy into multiple U.S. Navy defense platforms.  Our U.S. Navy defense business, which began with our entry into the nuclear carrier program and expanded into both the Virginia and Columbia class nuclear submarine programs, made up 50% of our total backlog at September 30, 2020.  Each vessel platform has made up at least 10% of our total backlog for the past three years.  We believe this diversification is especially beneficial when our commercial markets are weak, as of December 31, 2017 is from markets not served by us inpresently the Fiscal 2007-2009 time frame.case.

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,2020.  Included in the first halfsix months of fiscal 2018, we incurred a pre-tax restructuring charge of $316 ($224 after tax)2020, was $621 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.divested commercial nuclear utility business.


Interest income for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 was $142$26 and $455,$120, respectively, compared with $100$363 and $272,$762, respectively, for the same periods ended December 31, 2016.September 30, 2019.  The decrease in interest income is due to market investment rates, which are significantly lower when compared with rates a year ago.  Interest expense for the three and nine-monthsix-month periods ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 was $3 and $8, respectively, compared with $3$4 and $7, respectively, for the same periods ended December 31, 2016.September 30, 2019.  

The reduction in the year-to-dateOur effective tax rate from 28%for each of the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2020 was 22% and 30%, respectively.  The effective tax rate for each of the three and six-month periods ended September 30, 2019 was 22%.  The higher six-month tax rate in fiscal 2021 was due to the second quarter to 23% in the third quarter as well asloss we incurred 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,2021.  Our effective tax rate for the third quarter offull fiscal 2017.  Excluding impairment and other related charges for our commercial nuclear business as well as the gain from implementation of the Tax Act, netyear is expected to be closer to 22%.

Capital expenditures for fiscal 20182021 are expected to be between approximately $1,500$2,000 and $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$67,856 on December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 compared with $73,474$73,003 on March 31, 2017, up $708.2020, down $5,146.

 

We invest net cash generated from operations in excess of cash held for near-term needs in short-term, 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 have a $5,000 unsecured$14,000 line of credit with HSBC, N.A. ("HSBC") secured by certain of our deposit accounts with HSBC.  Letters of credit outstanding on December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 and March 31, 20172020 were $7,401$17,161 and $8,372,$13,328, respectively.  The outstanding letters of credit as of December 31, 2017September 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, 2017September 30, 2020 and March 31, 2017.2020.  The borrowing rate under our JP Morgan Chase facility as of December 31, 2017September 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$21,839 and $25,761$21,672, respectively, at December 31, 2017September 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, 2017September 30, 2020 were $40,528$34,974, net of a change order reduction of $1,264, compared with $17,699$32,552 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 129%.last year.  Orders represent written communications received from customers requesting us to supply products and/or services.  Domestic orders were 47%46% of total orders, or $19,144,$16,117, and international orders were 53%54% of total orders, or $21,384,$18,857, in the currentsecond quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the thirdsecond quarter of fiscal 2017,2020 when domestic orders were 59%33%, or $10,396,$10,759, of total orders, and international orders were 41%67%, or $7,303,$21,793, of total orders.  Over 80% of the international orders in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 were from Canada.

During the first ninesix months of fiscal 2018,2021, orders were $68,679,$46,442, compared with $57,123$47,641 for the same period of fiscal 2017, an increase2020.  Domestic orders were 42% of $11,556,total orders, or 20%.  For$19,349, and international orders were 58% of total orders, or $27,093, in the first ninesix months of fiscal 2018, refining2021 compared with the same period of fiscal 2020 when domestic orders increased by $19,121, powerwere 46%, or $21,916, of total 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 pandemic in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.  The weak energy markets have continued into fiscal 2021 and are particularly evident in our North American markets.  As a result, our overall bidding activity has slowed.  There has also been a shift toward more opportunities in emerging markets.  At September 30, 2020, 50% 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 $30 million per year of revenue in fiscal 2021 and beyond.

 

Strategy and Outlook

Prolonged weaknessNear term opportunities in the global energy and petrochemical markets has continued to negatively impact our business in fiscal 2018.  Our oil refining 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, and this determination ledslowed significantly due to the impairmentcombined impact of our goodwillthe COVID-19 pandemic and intangible assets whichthe geopolitical imbalance of supply.  Although we recognized indo not know when the third quarter.

DespiteCOVID-19 pandemic will end or when the current downturn,supply imbalance will subside, we continue to believe that the energy and petrochemical markets provide long-term growth opportunities for our products and services.  Coupled with our diversification strategy into the defense industry, we remain confident in our ability to achieve the long-term potentialgoal of the energy markets we serve.  We intend to expandsignificantly growing our participation and market share.  We believe this anticipated long-term strength will support our strategy 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 combinationscombinations 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 two quarters of fiscal 2021 without any additional COVID-19 related reductions in production capacity.  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 across the first quarter of fiscal 2021.  Our production capacity returned to a normal level in the energy marketssecond quarter of fiscal 2021.  Our outlook is based upon the assumption that we serve continuesare able to cause near-term uncertainty, affectingoperate our outlook for fiscal 2018.production facility, have access to the global supply chain, including our subcontractors, with minimal or no disruptions, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or any other circumstances.

We project that approximately 60% to 65% of our $114,851 backlog at September 30, 2020 will convert to sales over the next twelve months.  We expect revenuethe 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 20182020 and a third project of $654 cancelled in


the first six months of fiscal 2021.  At September 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 market dynamics, and we therefore expect revenue of $4,118 to be approximately $75,000.  delayed beyond fiscal 2021.  None of these amounts changed during the second quarter of 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%22% to 22% range.  We are experiencing the impact of lower pricing from orders received over the past year24% range 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.$17,500.  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% and 26%,approximately 22%.  This outlook incorporates the very challenged first quarter which we have lowered dueexperienced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and assumes that we are able to continue to operate near normal capacity for the reduced federal corporate income tax rate.  Fiscal 2018 will benefit from thelast six months of fiscal fourth quarter being taxed at a lower rate.  2021.

 

We continue toCash flow was negative in the first six months of fiscal 2021, however, 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,September 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 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, 2017September 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 three months and ninesix months ended December 31, 2017September 30, 2020 were 35%38% and 33%40%, respectively, of total sales compared with 23%27% and 26%29%, respectively, for the same periods 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 the first three and ninesix 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 ninesix months of fiscal 2018,ended September 30, 2020, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 1%2% of cost of products sold.  In the first three and ninesix months of 2017,ended September 30, 2019, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 2%0% and 3%1% 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, 2017September 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,September 30, 2020, we had notwo projects totaling $562 on hold.hold by our customers.  

 

 

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.  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 I – 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 ongoing 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. We began the first quarter of fiscal 2021 at 10% of normal staffing capacity and gradually increased to normal capacity by early June 2020 while applying numerous new health and safety protocols for those working on site.

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). During the first quarter of fiscal 2021 we had two projects on hold, one project cancelled, and three projects delayed by our customers due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related energy market dynamics. Any resulting financial impact from the pandemic 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 continue to change rapidly and additional impacts that we are presently unaware of may arise.
