PART I
Item 1. Business
General
Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Registrant” or the “Company”) design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.
The Company was incorporated in New York in 1959. In 1972, the Company was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, thereby changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.
The Company’s shares currently trade on the NYSE Amex under the symbol SVT.
Products
Advanced Technology Products
The Company designs, manufactures and markets a variety of servo-control components which convert an electrical current into a mechanical force or movement and other related products. The principal servo-control components produced include torque motors, electromagnetic actuators, hydraulic valves, pneumatic valves and similar devices, all of which perform the same general function. These are sold principally to the commercial aerospace, missile, aircraft and government related industries, as well as medical and industrial markets.
To fill most of its orders for components, the Company must either modify a standard model or design a new item in order to satisfy the customer’s particular requirements. The Company also produces unique products based on specifications provided by its customers. The Company produces under long-term contracts and other types of orders.
The Company may from time to time produce metallic seals of various cross-sectional configurations. These seals fit between two surfaces, usually metal, to produce a more secure and leak-proof joint. The Company manufactures these seals to close tolerances from standard and special alloy steels. Ductile coatings are often applied to the seals in order to increase their effectiveness.
From time to time, the Company has also produced other products of its own and/or of a given design to meet customers’ requirements.
Consumer Products
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a variety of cutlery products. These products include a wide range of cutlery items such as steak, carving, bread, butcher and paring knives for household use and for use in restaurants, institutions and private industry, and pocket and other types of knives for hunting, fishing and camping. The Company also sells cutlery products to the U.S. Government and related agencies. These products include machetes, bayonets and other types of knives that are primarily for military use. The Company also produces and markets other cutlery items such as various specialty tools, putty knives, linoleum sheet cutters, field knives and other edged products. The Company manufactures its cutlery products from stainless or high carbon steel in numerous styles, designs, models and sizes. Substantially all of the Company’s commercial cutlery related products are intended for the medium to premium priced markets.
The Company sells many of its cutlery products under its own brand names including “Old Hickory” and “Queen”. In the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company acquired the capability to manufacture hot forged edged products which expanded the commercial and government markets for the Consumer Products Group.
Sales, Marketing and Distribution
Advanced Technology Products
The Company’s Advanced Technology Group products (ATG) are marketed throughout the United States and in select foreign markets. Products are primarily non-seasonal in nature. These products are sold to the United States Government, government prime contractors, government subcontractors, commercial manufacturers and end users. Sales are made primarily by the Company’s professional staff.
During the Company’s 2010 fiscal year, sales of advanced technology products pursuant to subcontracts with prime contractors or subcontractors for various branches of the United States Government or pursuant to prime contracts directly with the government accounted for approximately 21% of the Company’s total sales as compared to 23% in 2009. In 2010 and 2009, the Company’s sales of advanced technology products to one customer, including various divisions and subsidiaries of a common parent company, amounted to approximately 25% in 2010 and 18% in 2009. The Company also had sales to another ATG customer that amounted to approximately 13% of total sales in 2010 and 12% in 2009. No other single customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated sales in either of these years.
The Company’s prime contracts and subcontracts with the United States Government are subject to termination at the convenience of the Government. In the event of such termination, the Company is ordinarily entitled to receive payment for its costs and profits on work done prior to termination. Since the inception of the Company’s business, less than 1% of its Government contracts have been terminated for convenience.
Consumer Products
The Company’s consumer products are marketed throughout the United States and in select foreign markets. Consumer sales are moderately seasonal. Sales are to hardware, supermarket, variety, department, discount, gift and drug stores. The Company’s Consumer Products Group (CPG) also sells its cutlery products (principally machetes, bayonets, survival knives, kitchen knives and scissors) to various branches of the United States Government which accounted for approximately 21% of the Company’s total consolidated sales in 2010 as compared to 28% in 2009. No other single customer of the CPG represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated sales in 2010. The Company sells its products through its own sales personnel and through independent manufacturers’ representatives.
Business Segments
Business segment information is presented in Note 12, Business Segments, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Intellectual Properties
The Company has rights under certain copyrights, trademarks, patents, and registered domain names. In the view of management, the Company’s competitive position is not dependent on patent protection.
Research Activities
The amount spent by the Company in research and development activities during its 2010 and 2009 fiscal years was not significant.
Environmental Compliance
The cost of compliance with current environmental laws has not been material and the Company does not anticipate that it will be in the future.
Manufacturing
The Company manufactures its consumer products in Franklinville, New York, Titusville, Pennsylvania and Nashville, Arkansas and its advanced technology products in Elma, New York.
Raw Materials and Other Supplies
The Company purchases raw materials and certain components for its products from outside vendors. The Company is generally not dependent upon a single source of supply for any raw material or component used in its operations.
Competition
Although no reliable industry statistics are available to enable the Company to determine accurately its relative competitive position with respect to any of its products, the Company believes that it is a significant factor with respect to certain of its servo-control components. The Company’s share of the overall cutlery market is not significant.
The Company has many different competitors with respect to servo-control components because of the nature of that business and the fact that these products also face competition from other types of control components which, at times, can accomplish the desired result.
The Company encounters active competition with respect to its consumer products from numerous companies, many of which are larger in terms of manufacturing capacity, financial resources and marketing organization. Its principal competitors vary depending upon the customer and/or the products involved. The Company believes that it competes primarily with more than 20 companies with respect to its consumer products, in addition to foreign imports. To the Company’s knowledge, its principal competitors with regard to cutlery include World Kitchen, Inc., Benchmade Knife Company, Inc., Tramontina, Inc., Dexter-Russell Inc., W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, Lifetime Hoan Corp., and Gerber.
The Company markets most of its products throughout the United States and to a lesser extent in select foreign markets. The Company believes that it competes in marketing its servo-control products primarily on the basis of operating performance, adherence to rigid specifications, quality, price and delivery and its consumer products primarily on the basis of price, quality and delivery.
Employees
The Company, at December 31, 2010, had approximately 286 employees of which approximately 275 are full time; 217 in Western New York, 30 in Pennsylvania and 28 in Arkansas. In excess of 81% of its employees are engaged in production, inspection, packaging or shipping activities. The balance is engaged in executive, engineering, administrative, clerical or sales capacities.

Pursuant to agreements with a local industrial development agency (“IDA”) the Company leases and/or has options to purchase a facility and approximately 38.4 acres of land in Elma, New York. The Company occupies the facility, which serves as the Company’s headquarters and major manufacturing and research site for the Company’s Advanced Technology Group. The transaction is accounted for by the Company as a capital lease. The facility secures the payment of an outstanding Industrial Development Bond (the “Bond”) which financed construction of the facility.
The Bond was originally issued in the principal amount of $5,000,000 and, after a series of timely payments of principal and interest by the Company in accordance with the governing agreements, the outstanding Bond principal indebtedness has been reduced to approximately $3.1 million as of December 31, 2010. When the Bond indebtedness has been fully paid, the Company has the right to purchase the Facility for a nominal sum.
As previously reported by the Company, in November 2009 the Company became the operating lessee of real property located in Nashville, Arkansas. The lessor is a related party. The lease was for a period of one year and conferred on the Company an option to purchase the property. The lease expired in November 2010. The Company did not exercise its purchase option, but the lessor and the Company extended the lease for another year. See Note 10, Related Party Transactions, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information.
The properties leased or otherwise operated by the Company in the forgoing report are appropriately covered by insurance consistent with the advice of the Company’s insurance consultant.
See the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including Note 9, Commitments, thereto, for further information with respect to the Company’s lease commitments.
The Company possesses modern precision manufacturing and testing equipment suitable for the development, manufacture, assembly and testing of its advanced technology products. The Company uses computer-aided technology throughout its processes, procedures, designs, manufacturing and administrative functions. The Company designs and makes most of the tools, dies, jigs and specialized testing equipment necessary for the production of the advanced technology products. The Company also possesses automatic and semi-automatic grinders, tumblers, presses and miscellaneous metal finishing machinery and equipment for use in the manufacture of consumer products.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings which are material to the Company currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to have a material adverse affect on the business or earnings of the Company.

The Company is a smaller reporting company by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information required under this item.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The aviation and aerospace industries as well as markets for the Company’s consumer products are facing new and evolving challenges on a global basis. The operations of the Company can be affected by the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, government regulation, legislation, and other factors. In addition, uncertainties in today’s global economy, competition from expanding manufacturing capabilities and technical sophistication of low-cost developing countries, particularly in South and East Asia, currency policies in relation to the U.S. dollar of some major foreign exporting countries so as to maintain or increase a pricing advantage of their exports vis-à-vis U.S. manufactured goods, the effect of terrorism, difficulty in predicting defense and other government appropriations, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, volatile market demand and the continued market acceptance of the Company’s advanced technology and cutlery products make it difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.
Both the ATG and CPG markets are sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and policies, which may create volatility in operating results, from period to period. For example, the airline industry is sensitive to fuel price increases and economic conditions. These factors directly impact the demand for aircraft production as well as the amount of repair and overhaul required on in-service aircraft.
Government procurements are subject to Congressional appropriations and priorities that may change from year to year. Such changes could result in, but are not limited thereto, the expansion and/or contraction of Government procurement requirements, a reduction in funding, the continuation or termination of existing programs, the introduction of new programs requiring the funds that were originally directed to current programs, a stretch-out in Government delivery requirements or such other U.S. Government determinations that could result in increases or reductions of Government purchase orders for the ATG and/or the CPG products.
The Company’s suppliers are also subject to all the pressures and volatility being generated by the current global economic conditions. Any interruption of the Company’s continuous flow of material and product parts that are required for the manufacture of the Company’s products could adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet the Company’s customers’ delivery requirements. Consistent with the evolving requirements of the Aerospace Industry, companies are increasingly being requested to operate under Long-Term Agreements with their Customers on the basis of fixed prices, on the basis of targeted year to year price reductions and/or on the basis of year to year price adjustments predicated on mutually agreed indices and/or a combination of some or all of the above described pricing arrangements and/or otherwise. Therefore, productivity improvements and cost containment strategies are continuously sought within the Company’s concept of continuous improvement. The Company’s products are labor intensive and as such productivity improvements are expected to have positive effects on the Company’s operating results. However, increased costs for raw material, purchased parts and/or labor will have the reverse effect. Therefore, there are strong incentives to continuously improve productivity and to contain/reduce costs.
If any adverse economic events reduce the number of Airliners and/or Aircraft being produced by the Company’s relevant prime contractors, the negative effects of that reduction will in turn flow down through the supply chain. Also, certain major manufacturers have successfully imposed extended payment terms to their suppliers. At times, these extended terms of payment are not available to the Company when purchasing raw material such as aluminum, magnetic material, steel, etc. and/or other product support items and services. If the Company’s customers delay their payments until after the extended due date or fail to pay, it could adversely impact the Company’s operating results.
The Company’s ability to manufacture products on a timely basis also depends on the Company’s Suppliers’ on-time delivery of raw material, sub components, machined parts and other necessary product support supplies. Interruptions of this flow of purchased materials could adversely affect the Company’s operations.
Maximizing the Company’s operations requires continued dedicated performances from the Company’s key and other personnel. In the Company’s markets and business arenas there is substantial competition for the services of the highest performing individuals. Competitors, customers and other companies who may have interest in the Company’s most experienced and educated/highly trained personnel (i.e., Managerial, Engineering and Accounting/Administrative) are a continuing consequence of the Company’s history of successful operational performance. Any unplanned replacement of such personnel may require the hiring of new personnel on an expedited basis (provided they are available) and may temporarily interrupt the Company’s operations and efforts for continuous improvement.
The final resolution of the U.S. and foreign economic uncertainties, notwithstanding the Stimulus Plans, may have significant adverse effects on access to capital markets and borrowings for all companies. However, the Company currently enjoys an attractive long-term debt/equity ratio and has a strong balance sheet.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, approximately 43% and 51%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. Sales of products sold for government applications decreased when comparing the results of 2010 to 2009, due to decreased shipments at both the ATG and CPG. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company is optimistic in relation to these potential opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors and, as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.
The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects of terrorism and the threat of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.
The ATG continues its aggressive business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its activities to include new domestic and foreign markets that are consistent with its core competencies. There are substantial uncertainties in the current global economy that are compounded with certain airliner delivery stretch-outs being considered and to a lesser degree, being implemented which in turn may adversely affect the Company’s sales revenues in 2011 and beyond. Although the ATG backlog continues to be strong, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed as a function of the Company’s customers final delivery determinations that may be based on changes in the global economy and other factors.
The Company’s CPG develops new commercial products and products for government and military applications. Included in the significant uncertainties in the near and long term are the effects of the U. S. and world stimulus plans and the difficulty to accurately project the net effect of the vagaries inherent in the government procurement process and programs. The ATG and CPG continue to respond to U.S. government procurement requests for quotes. New product development activities are ongoing along with the acquisition of new product lines.

Sales
The Company’s consolidated sales decreased approximately $1,349,000 or 4.1% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease in sales is the result of decreased shipments for government related applications at both operating groups. Shipments for government applications were down approximately $3,400,000 as a result of contract completion at CPG. Procurement and time of shipment under Government contracts can significantly impact operating results from period to period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue decreased for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease is primarily the result of the mix of product sold within the ATG and CPG as well as a larger percentage (61% in 2010 as compared to 55% in 2009) of the total consolidated sales coming from the ATG which generally recognizes higher profit margins. Also during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010, there were no reserves for cost overruns at year-end while there were approximately $250,000 during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 that negatively impacted gross margins.
The Company continues to aggressively pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and other operating efficiencies through capital investments and technical developments in new machinery as well as investment and development of its labor force.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately $53,000 or 1.1% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Approximately 28% of selling, general and administrative expenses is attributable to the sale and marketing of products. This includes costs of internal and external sales force and active promotion and development of new and existing products, such costs increased approximately $84,000 or 6% when comparing the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 to the same period in 2009.
Labor and related expenses for general and administrative support account for approximately 44% of total SG&A. These costs increased approximately $435,000 mainly due to hiring of new employees when comparing the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 to the same period in 2009. These increases were more than offset by decreases of approximately $537,000 in information technology costs as well as reductions in legal and professional expenses associated with previously reported merger and acquisition activities.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to the decrease in the average outstanding debt and interest rates for the majority of 2010. See also Note 4, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. Depreciation and amortization expense also increased $70,000 due to 2010 being the first full year of depreciation of the machinery and equipment under the $588,000 capital lease with related party. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its delivery commitments and to meet the information technology related capital expenditure requirements.
Other Income
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. The decrease in other income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the same twelve month period in 2009 is primarily due to the market driven decline in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 30.1% in 2010 and 24.0% in 2009. The effective tax rate in both years reflects state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The effective tax rate increased during 2010 as compared to 2009 primarily due to 2009 including additional benefits relating to prior period ESOP dividend payments and R&D tax credits. See also Note 7, Income Tax Provision, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information concerning income taxes.
Net Income
Net income increased $225,000 or 11.8% when comparing the twelve month period ended December 31, 2010 to the same period in 2009. The increase in net income is primarily the result of increased sales at the Company’s Advanced Technology Group. The Company improved the margin on sales at both the ATG and CPG because of the mix of products sold as well as successful cost containment activities.

Sales
The Company’s consolidated sales decreased approximately $1,162,000 or 3.4% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 when compared to the same period in 2008. The decrease in sales is the result of decreased shipments for commercial applications at both the ATG and CPG not fully off-set by increased shipments for government related applications at both operating groups. Shipments for commercial applications were down approximately $3,800,000 as a result of economic driven customer order stretch-outs and to a lesser extent, order cancellations while shipments for government related applications were up approximately $2,600,000. Procurement and time of shipment under Government contracts can significantly impact operating results from period to period.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales as a percentage of sales increased approximately 2.3% or $563,000 for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 primarily due to price increases for raw material and labor related expenses including anticipated and quantifiable cost overruns of $250,000 for unshipped units under a long-term contract that were reserved in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses that include variable costs increased for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 by approximately $398,000 or 8.7%. In 2009, the Company expended an additional $180,000 for information technology upgrades some of which are related to anticipated Sarbanes-Oxley 404 (SOX) requirements. For the period ended December 31, 2009, the Company’s SG&A expenses include general corporate, intellectual properties and increased asset acquisition related activity costs of $165,000 which include, among other things, the support for additional and new manufacturing capabilities which expanded the cutlery product line to include hot forged edged products. As required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) the Company expensed such costs in the period incurred. The trend is for SG&A expenses to increase as a function of increased regulations, market expansion and company growth.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008 due to the decrease in the average outstanding debt and interest rates for the majority of 2009. See also Note 4, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense remained relatively consistent for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its delivery commitments and to meet the information technology related capital expenditure requirements.
Other Income
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents, and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. The decrease in other income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 when compared to the same twelve month period in 2008 is primarily due to the market driven decline in interest rates on cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.0% in 2009 and 33.3% in 2008. The effective tax rate in both years reflects state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures and the tax benefit for manufacturing deductions allowable under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 as well as reductions in New York State’s statutory tax rate and income apportionment formula. The effective tax rate decreased during 2009 as compared to 2008 primarily due to 2009 including additional benefits relating to current period ESOP dividend payments and R&D tax credits. See also Note 7, Income Tax Provision, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information concerning income taxes.
Net Income
Net income decreased $1,152,000 or 37.7% when comparing the twelve month period ended December 31, 2009 to the same period in 2008. The decrease in net income is primarily the result of decreased sales of approximately 3.4% with the majority of the decrease representing products with above average gross margins. Net income was also impacted by the previously discussed $250,000 expense to cost of goods sold for an anticipated cost overrun on a long-term contract as well as general inflationary costs for material procurements and labor related expenditures. Other increases in SG&A expenditures impacting net income include $165,000 associated with the acquisition of assets to expand the cutlery product line and an approximate $180,000 increase in information technology due to Sarbanes-Oxley 404 requirements and industry/customer related information technology requirements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s primary liquidity and capital requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable, capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal and interest payments on debt.
At December 31, 2010, the Company had working capital of approximately $18,838,000 ($17,698,000 – 2009) of which approximately $4,447,000 ($4,320,000 – 2009) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit. The Company generated approximately $1,932,000 in cash from operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 as compared to $952,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2009. Cash was generated from operations through net income and a decrease in inventory of approximately $494,000. The primary uses of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 include payments of approximately $805,000 in income taxes and increases in accounts receivable of $1,340,000 and decreases of $625,000 in other accrued liabilities. ATG and CPG customers are increasingly requesting and/or requiring stock inventory in order to facilitate assurance of meeting their often volatile delivery schedule needs. As these requirements increase, they directly impact comparative cash flows when implemented and increased inventory levels when it is a continuing requirement. Additionally, at times, the Company takes advantage of price discounts on volume purchases for common parts. Cash generated and used in operations is consistent with sales volume, customer expectations and competitive pressures.
The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 includes current principal payments on long-term debt as well as approximately $336,000 for a cash dividend paid on March 31, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 10, 2010. Under the Company’s stock repurchase program (as of February 28, 2011) the Company repurchased 238,088 shares of which zero shares and 943 shares were purchased in 2010 and 2009, respectively. There remain 211,912 shares to be purchased under this program. See Note 8, Common Shareholders’ Equity, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the current purchase program.
At December 31, 2010, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.
The Company also has an unsecured $1,000,000 line of credit on which there was no balance outstanding at December 31, 2010 or 2009. If needed, this can be used to fund cash flow required for operations.
The Company believes that it has adequate internal and external resources available to fund expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through fiscal 2010 as supported by the level of cash/cash equivalents on hand, cash flow from operations and bank lines of credit.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. As such, the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. The Company believes that the following discussion addresses the Company’s most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and which require the Company’s most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a summary of the significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition, which approximates actual cost (first-in, first-out). Market provisions in respect to net realizable value and obsolescence are applied to the gross value of the inventory. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides a range of benefits to its employees and retired employees. The Company records annual amounts relating to these plans based on calculations specified by GAAP, which includes various actuarial assumptions, such as discount rates, assumed rates of return on plan assets and health care cost trend rates. The Company believes that the assumptions utilized in recording its obligations under its plans are reasonable based on advice from its actuaries.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, reserves and allowances for inventories and trade receivables. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in SEC reports under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(ii) Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treasury Commission. Based on the Company’s evaluation under the framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010.
(iii) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business Description
Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Cash equivalents consist primarily of short-term certificates of deposits.
Certificates of Deposit
Short term investments are classified as available for sale, and are carried at fair value. The CD investments amounted to approximately $0 and approximately $495,000 as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 respectively. There were no unrealized gains or losses since cost approximates fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. In accordance with ASC 820, the valuation of short term investments is determined by observing market value and are classified as Level 1 investments.
Accounts Receivable
The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful account amounted to approximately $117,000 at December 31, 2010 and $91,000 at December 31, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all cost incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition, which approximates actual cost (first-in, first-out). Market provisions in respect of net realizable value and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $651,000 and $548,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.
SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are classified as a component of cost of goods sold.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.
Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:
| |
Buildings and improvements
|
5-39 years
|
| |
Machinery and equipment
|
5-15 years
|
| |
Tooling
|
|
3-5 years
|
Income Taxes
The Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of operating loss and credit carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, a consolidated New York State income tax return and a separate Pennsylvania state income tax return.
The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2010 or 2009, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
During the third quarter of 2009, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance (NYS) commenced an examination of the Company’s New York State franchise tax returns for the years 2005 through 2007. In the third quarter of 2010, the examination was complete resulting in no change to the Company’s originally filed returns. Also, during the third quarter of 2010, the Internal Revenue Service commenced an examination of the Company’s Federal Income tax returns for years 2008 and 2009. In the first quarter of 2011, the examination was complete resulting in no material adjustments to the originally filed returns. The 2007 and 2010 federal and 2008 through 2010 state tax returns remain open for potential examination by taxing authorities.
SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long lived assets existed at December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain balances as of December 31, 2009 were reclassified to conform with classifications adopted in the current year.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risks
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions. Refer to Note 12, Business Segments, for disclosures related to customer concentrations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, the fair value approximates its carrying amount.

Property, plant and equipment includes land and building in Elma, New York, under a $5,000,000 capital lease which can be purchased for a nominal amount at the end of the lease term. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, accumulated amortization on the building amounted to approximately $2,293,000 and $2,163,000, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $130,000 and $140,000 for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The associated current and long-term liabilities are discussed in Note 4, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Property, plant and equipment also includes machinery and equipment under a $588,000 capital lease with a related party. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, accumulated amortization on the machinery and equipment amounted to approximately $98,000 and $14,000, respectively. Amortization expense amounted to $84,000 and $14,000 for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The associated current and long-term liabilities are discussed in Note 5, Capital Lease – Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Depreciation expense amounted to $427,000 and $402,000 for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The combined depreciation and amortization expense were $664,000 and $564,000 for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company believes that it maintains property and casualty insurance in amounts adequate for the risk and nature of its assets and operations and which are generally customary in its industry.

(A) The Industrial Development Revenue Bonds were issued by a government agency to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/advanced technology facility. Annual sinking fund payments of $170,000 commenced December 1, 2000 and continue through 2013, with a final payment of $2,620,000 due December 1, 2014. The Company has agreed to reimburse the issuer of the letter of credit if there are draws on that letter of credit. The Company pays the letter of credit bank an annual fee of 1% of the amount secured thereby and pays the remarketing agent for the bonds an annual fee of .25% of the principal amount outstanding.

Employee Benefit Plans
|
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
In 1985, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the benefit of employees who meet certain minimum age and service requirements. Upon inception of the ESOP, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from a bank and lent the proceeds to the trust established under the ESOP to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s loan to the trust is at an interest rate approximating the prime rate and is repayable to the Company over a 40-year term ending in December 2024. During 1987 and 1988, the Company loaned an additional $1,942,000 to the trust under terms similar to those under the Company’s original loan.
ESOP shares are held by the plan trustees in a suspense account until allocated to participant accounts. Each year the Company makes contributions to the trust sufficient to enable the trust to repay the principal and interest due to the Company under the trust loans. As the loans are repaid, shares are released from the suspense account pro rata based on the portion of the aggregate loan payments that are paid during the year. In 2009 approximately $46,000 in dividends on ESOP shares were used to pay down the loan. During 2010, the ESOP plan was amended to allow dividends on unallocated shares be distributed to participants in cash, unless otherwise directed. ESOP shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation and/or on the participant’s account balance. For this purpose, “compensation” means taxable pay.
If Servotronics shares are not readily tradable on an established securities market at the times of an ESOP participant’s termination of employment or retirement and if such ESOP participant requests that his/her ESOP distributed shares be repurchased by the Company, the Company is obligated to do so. The Company’s shares currently trade on NYSE Amex, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange. There were no outstanding shares subject to the repurchase obligation at December 31, 2010.
Since inception of the ESOP, approximately 450,503 shares have been allocated, exclusive of shares distributed to ESOP participants. At December 31, 2010 and 2009 approximately 255,494 and 276,353 shares, respectively, purchased by the ESOP remain unallocated.
Related compensation expense associated with the Company’s ESOP, which is equal to the principal reduction on the loans receivable from the trust, amounted to $101,000 in 2010 and $147,000 in 2009. Included as a reduction to shareholders’ equity is the ESOP trust commitment which represents the remaining indebtedness of the trust to the Company. Employees are entitled to vote allocated shares and the ESOP trustees are entitled to vote unallocated shares and those allocated shares not voted by the employees.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
The Company provides certain post retirement health and life insurance benefits for certain executives of the Company. Upon retirement and after attaining at least the age of 65, the Company will pay the annual cost of health insurance for the retired executives and dependents and will continue the Company provided life insurance offered at the time of retirement. The retiree’s health insurance benefits ceases upon the death of the retired executive. The actuarially calculated future obligation of the benefits at December 31, 2010 and 2009 is $295,477 and $236,982, respectively, and is being amortized into expense at a rate of approximately $31,000 per year. Estimated future annual expenses associated with the plan are immaterial. Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss for 2010 and 2009 is approximately $78,000 and $61,000, respectively, net of deferred taxes, associated with the unrecognized service cost of the plan.
There are no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits for 2010.

Consistent with the Company’s current policy to reduce the number of outstanding Company shares thereby increasing the reported earnings per share, the Executive Officers, Directors and certain employees elected on May 20, 2010 to surrender 101,200 unexercised options to the Company in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference between the exercise price and closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the day of surrender less an administrative charge. Such transactions aggregated $573,000. A tax benefit of approximately $195,000 associated with these transactions reduced taxes payable and was credited directly to capital in excess of par value.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On February 22, 2010, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was paid on March 31, 2010 to shareholders of record on March 10, 2010 and was approximately $336,000 in the aggregate. This dividend does not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis.
The only component of other comprehensive loss included in equity at December 31, 2010 is $78,000 of unrecognized actuarial losses and net transition obligations for post retirement, health and life insurance benefits (see Note 6 Employee Benefit Plans). These amounts are shown net of income tax benefit of $46,000.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on earnings per share were outstanding for the period. Incremental shares from assumed conversions are calculated as the number of shares that would be issued, net of the number of shares that could be purchased in the marketplace with the cash received upon stock option exercise.

Shareholders’ Rights Plan
During 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a shareholders’ rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) and simultaneously declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock outstanding at August 28, 2002. The Rights Plan replaced a previous shareholders rights plan that was adopted in 1992 and expired on August 28, 2002. The Rights do not become exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date of the Company’s public announcement that a person or affiliated group other than Dr. Nicholas D. Trbovich or the ESOP trust (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the Company’s common stock (excluding shares held by the ESOP trust) or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a person or affiliated group becoming an Acquiring Person.
The exercise price of a right has been established at $32.00. Once exercisable, each right would entitle the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person, each Right would entitle any holder other than the Acquiring Person to purchase common stock or other securities of the Company having a value equal to three times the exercise price. The Board of Directors has the discretion in such event to exchange two shares of common stock or two one-hundredths of a share of preferred stock for each Right held by any holder other than the Acquiring Person.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company leases certain equipment and real property pursuant to operating lease arrangements. Total rental expense in 2010 and 2009 and future minimum payments under such leases are not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company also leases certain personal property being accounted for under a capital lease. See also Note 5, Capital Lease-Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on the capital leases.

Related Party Transactions
|
During 2009 the Company formed a new wholly owned subsidiary that leased certain personal property from a related party through the execution of a capital lease. See Note 5, Capital Lease-Related Party, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company also entered into a real property lease agreement, with the same related party, which provides for annual rental of $60,000. In addition, in the event the Company is successful in obtaining certain tax and/or other incentives from the state the entity operates in, the Company will be required to purchase the building at the appraised value of $506,000. The Company did not exercise its purchase option, but the lessor and the Company extended the lease including purchase option for another year. Additionally, in the event that the Company purchases the building, there is an arrangement payable to the related party, providing a threshold in annual earnings is reached by the new subsidiary, which will result in a percentage payment which could be as low as Zero dollars to a maximum total in the aggregate of $600,000 which is non-recurring. These transactions are disclosed as related party transactions because the wife of an officer of Servotronics, Inc. is a sole shareholder of the company that is leasing/selling the assets. The Company considered the impact of the above transactions as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of each of the fiscal periods presented and determined that the pro forma impact did not have a material effect on the Company’s revenues, net income or earnings per share. Purchases for inventory from the related party amounted to $56,000 and $15,000 during 2010 and 2009 respectively.
There are no legal proceedings which are material to the Company currently pending by or against the Company other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business which is not expected to materially adversely affect the business or earnings of the Company.
The Company operates in two business segments, Advanced Technology Group (ATG) and Consumer Products Group (CPG). The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. The segments are composed of separate corporations and are managed separately. Operations in ATG primarily involve the design, manufacture, and marketing of servo-control components (i.e., torque motors, control valves, actuators, etc.) for government, commercial and industrial applications. CPG’s operations involve the design, manufacture and marketing of a variety of cutlery products for use by consumers and government agencies. The Company derives its primary sales revenue from domestic customers, although a portion of finished products are for foreign end use.

The Company engages in a significant amount of business with the United States Government through sales to its prime contractors and otherwise. Such contracts by the Advanced Technology Group accounted for revenues of approximately $6,700,000 in 2010 and $7,500,000 in 2009. Similar contracts by the Consumer Products Group accounted for revenues of approximately $6,800,000 in 2010 and $9,400,000 in 2009. Sales of advanced technology products to one customer, including various divisions and subsidiaries of a common parent company, amounted to approximately 13% in 2010 and 12% in 2009. The Company also had sales to another ATG customer that amounted to approximately 25% of total revenues in 2010 and 18% in 2009. No other single customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s revenues in any of these years.
Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents and other minor amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products.
