The guidanceguidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue that depictsto depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the considerationsconsideration to which the companyentity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.services and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective November 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Based on an evaluation of the impact ASC 606 the Company concluded that ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from customers therefore the Company did not record a cumulative transition adjustment.

4. Revenue from Contracts with Customers:

a) Overview

The Company adopted ASC 606 on November 1. 2018. The Company recognizes revenues from the financial statements, assale of finished products upon shipment and the transfer of control to the customer. The other elements may include installation and, generally, contracts contain one distinct performance obligationa one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and specifically stateis recognized when the performance obligationlabor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple days of the delivery of equipment in exchange forthe equipment. Warranty revenue, if sold separately, is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a stated consideration. Contractsservice and generally is recognized over the contract period.

All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are not long term and balers are manufactured for individual orders and revenue recognized at a point in time upon customer acceptance and the delivery of shipment.the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.

Generally, pricing is fixed and the majority of the Company’s contracts have short duration and a single performance obligation to deliver a configured to order baler and related equipment to the customer. The Company has elected to expense shipping and handling costs as incurred.

4.b) Disaggregation of Revenue

Disaggregated revenue is by primary geographic market is as follows:

Equipment Revenue by Geographic Area 

Six Months Ended
April 30,

2019

United States $3,542,040 
International  316,650 
Total $3,858,690 

c) Contract Balances

Contract balances include accounts receivable and contract liabilities. Contract liabilities are reported as Customer Deposits on the accompanying Balance Sheets and consist of advances or deposits from customers before revenue is recognized. The change in contract liabilities is due to the timing of customer deposits for baler orders offset by customer deposits recognized as revenue during the period.

The Company does not record contract assets because the construction of a configured to order baler does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company. The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract.

The line of credit is secured by all assets of the Company and expires on May 15, 2019.2020. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at April 30, 20182019 and at October 31, 2017.2018.

 

7.8. Income Taxes:

 

Tax assets are recognized in the balance sheet if it is more likely than not that they will be realized on future tax returns. Factors considered included, historical results of operations, volatility of the economic conditions and projected earnings based on current operations. Based on this evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, there is no valuation allowance as of April 30, 20182019 and at October 31, 2017.2018. However, if it is determined that all or part of the deferred tax assets will not be used in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged against net income in the period such determination is made. As of April 30, 20182019 and October 31, 2017,2018, net deferred tax assets were $26,975 and $37,348, respectively.$61,494.

8.9. Commitments and Contingencies:

 

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is subject to claims made, and from time to time is named as a defendant in legal proceedings relating to the sales of its products. The Company believes that the reserves reflected in its financial statements are adequate to pay losses and loss adjustment expenses which may result from such claims and proceedings; however, such estimates may be more or less than the amount ultimately paid when the claims are settled. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

On December 1, 2017 the Company was served with a complaint related to an injury to an employee working at Integrated Coating and Seed Technology Inc.,(INCOTEC). The employee was operating a baler manufactured by the Company in 1994. The injury occurred on December 4, 2015. The plaintiff is Star Insurance Company. The Company’s insurer has retained an attorney and has begun the discovery process. The Company believes its exposure is a range of $0 to $25,000, the amount of the Company’s deductible on its insurance policy. Accordingly, the Company accrued $25,000 during the six months ended April 30, 2018.

 

In December 2018 the Company discovered an employee theft of Company property. At the date of this report the Company has researched what items were stolen and our estimate is that the value of the stolen items was approximately $200,000. Since the Company conducts a physical inventory at the end of each fiscal year, any losses incurred for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018 would have been reflected in the operating results of the Company for that fiscal year. The Company carries Crime Insurance which has an upper limit of $1,000,000 and a deductible of $25,000. In May 2019 the Company’s insurer approved the claim and agreed to reimburse the Company $175,841.
