NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. Nature of Business:Business:

International Baler Corporation (the “Company”) is a manufacturer of baling equipment which is designed to compress a variety of materials into bales for easier handling, shipping, disposal, storage, and for recycling. Materials commonly baled include scrap metal, corrugated boxes, newsprint, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and other solid waste. More sophisticated applications include baling of textile materials, fibers, and synthetic rubber. The Company offers a wide variety of balers, standard models as well as custom models, and conveyors to meet specific customer requirements.

The Company’s customers include recycling facilities, distribution centers, textile mills, and companies whichthat generate the materials for baling and recycling. The Company sells its products worldwide with annual sales outside the United States typically ranging from 10%10% to 35%35%.

2. Basis of Presentation:Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information in footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended April 30, 2021January 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2021.2022. The accompanying balance sheet as of October 31, 20202021 was derived from the audited financial statements as of October 31, 2020.2021.

These unaudited condensed financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2020.2021.

The Company is closely monitoring ongoing developments in connection with the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has had an adverse impact on sales as many customers are holding off purchasing new equipment.

As of the date of this report, the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially adversely impacted our capital and financial resources. Due to the economic uncertainty that has resulted from the pandemic, and the potential impact of such to our stakeholders, we are unable to predict with certainty any potential impacts to our business. Additionally, because we are unable to determine the ultimate severity or duration of the outbreak or its long-term effects on, among other things, the global, national or local economies, the capital and credit markets, our workforce, our customers or our suppliers, at this time we are unable to predict the adverse extent that the COVID-19 crisis will have on our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:Policies:

(a)  Accounts Receivable & Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:Accounts:

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly including the analysis of historical trends, customer credit worthinesscreditworthiness and the aging of receivables. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 7 

 

(b)  Inventories:

(b) Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined by a method that approximates the first-in, first-out method. Work in process and finished goods are valued based on underlying costs to manufacture balers which include direct materials, direct and indirect labor, and overhead. The Company reviews inventory for obsolescence on a regular basis.

(c) Warranties and Service:Service:

The Company typically warrants its products for one (1) year from the date of sale as to materials, three (3) years for structural damage and six (6) months as to labor, and offers services for other required repairs and maintenance. Service is rendered by repairing or replacing parts at the Company’s Jacksonville, Florida facility, by on-site service provided by Company personnel who are based in Jacksonville, Florida or by local service agents who are engaged as needed. The Company maintains an accrued liability for expected warranty claims. The warranty accrual is based on historical warranty costs, the quantity and types of balers currently under warranty, and known warranty issues.

Following is a tabular reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual for the six-monththree-month period ended April 30:January 31:

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic326), Derivative and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 841).

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for most leases. All leases are required to be recorded on the balance sheet with the exception of short-term leases. This standard was adopted by the Company on November 1, 2019. Prior to adoption, the Company determined that all its lease agreements qualify as short term leases, having a lease term of twelve months or less and no purchase option, and has elected to recognize its lease payments in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Accordingly the Company did not record a transition adjustment.

Specifically, the unit prices on some inventory invoices were not matched to the unit prices on the related purchase orders and adjusted to the invoice amount if different. The correction of these pricing errors was immaterial to the financial statements of the Company at October 31, 2021, however management considered this pricing error to be a material weakness in Item 4 of our 10-Qits controls and procedures for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021. In order to remediate this material weakness, management added two additional review steps to adjust inventory pricing to invoiced amounts if different from the purchase order amount.
