CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1:     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for CVD Equipment Corporation and Subsidiaries (collectively “the Company”) 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 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and 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 in order to make the interim financials not misleading have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at such date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, including the accounting policies followed by the Company as set forth in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained therein.

 

All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to prior period consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

 

NOTE 2:     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Revenue and Income Recognition

 

Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized on the percentage of completion method, measured on the basis of incurred costs to estimated total costs for each contract. This cost to cost method is used because management considers it to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.

 

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation costs.

CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 2:     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

Selling, general and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

 

The asset, “Cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts,” represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed.

 

The liability, “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts,” represents amounts billed in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. This update changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP. This new standard is effective in the first quarter of 2015 for public organizations with calendar year ends. This ASU is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

  

NOTE 3:     CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash equivalents with high credit-quality financial institutions and invests its excess cash primarily in certificates of deposit, treasury bills and money market instruments. The Company has established guidelines relative to credit ratings and maturities that seek to maintain stability and liquidity. From time to time these temporary cash investments may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit, which at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $11,214,000 and $10,136,000, respectively. The Company sells products and services to various companies across several industries in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses the financial strength of its customers and maintains allowances for anticipated losses.

NOTE 7:     LONG-TERM DEBT

 

On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a $9.1 million credit agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A. ("HSBC"). This agreement consists of a $7 million revolving credit facility and a five (5) year term loan in the initial principal amount of $2.1 million. The Company makes monthly principal payments of $35,000 plus interest on the term loan which matures on August 5, 2016. The balances as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $1,015,000 and $1,120,000, respectively. Interest on the unpaid $1,015,000 principal balance, which was used to pay off the previous mortgages, accrues at a fixed rate of 3.045%. Borrowings were initially collateralized by $1 million of restricted cash deposits, provided that, so long as no event of default has occurred and is then continuing, HSBC would release $200,000 of the collateral on each anniversary of the closing date. The restricted balance at March 31, 2014 was $600,000. This restricted cash is a separate line item on the consolidated balance sheet. The $7 million revolving credit facility remained unused as of both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow, on a revolving basis, until August 5, 2014. Interest on the unpaid principal balance on this facility accrues at either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1.75% or (ii) the bank's prime rate minus 0.50%. The credit agreement also contains certain financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with.

  

In March 2012, the Company entered into a mortgage loan agreement with HSBC Bank, USA, N.A., for the initial principal amount of $6,000,000 (the “Loan”), through the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency. The Loan is secured by a mortgage against the property and building located at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York. Interest presently accrues on the Loan, at our option, at the variable rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% which was 1.9050% and 1.9166% at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The balance on the mortgage on March 31, 2014 was approximately $4,091,000. The loan matures on March 15, 2022.

 

NOTE 8:     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the Company recorded as part of selling and general administrative expense, approximately $138,000 and $58,000 respectively, for the cost of employee and director services received in exchange for equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of those instruments. This expense was recorded based upon the guidance of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation.”

NOTE 10:     EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

As per ASC 260, basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares (the denominator) for the period presented. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued.

 

Stock options to purchase 173,730 shares of common stock were outstanding and 148,730 were exercisable during the three months ended March 31, 2014. Stock options to purchase 201,380 shares were outstanding and 163,880 were exercisable during the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, none of the outstanding options were included in the earnings per share calculation as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

 

The dilutive potential common shares on warrants and options is calculated in accordance with the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all warrants and options are used to repurchase common stock at market value. The amount of shares remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potential dilutive effect of the securities.

On January 26, 2010, the Company commenced an action against Taiwan Glass Industrial Corp. (“Taiwan Glass”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. By that action, the Company seeks monetary damages ($5,816,000) against Taiwan Glass for breach of contract. The Company believes that Taiwan Glass has no legal basis for unilaterally refusing to accept and pay for equipment specially manufactured for them and shipped to them by the Company. Taiwan Glass has interposed an answer and counterclaims denying these allegations and is seeking unspecified monetary damages. On April 12, 2012, Taiwan Glass filed a Motion seeking Partial Summary Judgment in the amount of $3,564,000 (representing the portion of the purchase price that it had previously paid to the Company). By Memorandum and Order dated November 7, 2012, the Court denied the Taiwan Glass Motion in its entirety. Discovery has been completed and trial is currently scheduled for December 2014. The Company is vigorously pursuing its claims against Taiwan Glass and defending against the counterclaims.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance, or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements were based on various factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Important assumptions and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, include but are not limited to: competition in the Company’s existing and potential future product lines of business; the Company’s ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms if and when needed; uncertainty as to the Company’s future profitability, uncertainty as to the future profitability of acquired businesses or product lines, uncertainty as to any future expansion of the Company. Other factors and assumptions not identified above were also involved in the derivation of these forward-looking statements and the failure of such assumptions to be realized as well as other factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 vs. Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

 

Revenue

 

Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $4,385,000 as compared to $3,450,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 27.1 %. The increase is directly attributable to the work performed on the increased orders received at the end of 2013 and the first three months of 2014. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received approximately $15,725,000 in new orders, compared to the approximately $3,174,000 in new orders we received during the three months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of 395.4%. Our backlog levels increased to approximately $15,257,000 as of March 31, 2014. Timing for completion of the backlog varies depending on the product mix and can be as long as two years, and does not provide an assurance of future achievement of revenues or profits as order cancellations or delays are possible.

 

Gross Profit

 

We generated a gross profit of approximately $1,783,000, resulting in a gross profit margin of 40.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to gross profits of approximately $787,000 and a gross profit margin of 22.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increased gross margin we are now experiencing is a result of the increased efficiencies of working in our new facility.

 

 

 
11

 

  

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling and shipping expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $358,000 and $244,000, respectively, representing an increase of 46.7% compared to the prior period. This increase can be primarily attributed to the increase in personnel during the current period.

 

We incurred approximately $1,475,000 of general and administrative expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to approximately $1,413,000 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013, representing an increase of 4.4%. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase administrative personnel and related costs during the current period.

 

Operating Loss

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, primarily the increased revenue and higher gross margins, we reduced our loss from operations to approximately ($50,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a loss from operations of approximately ($870,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

 

Interest Expense, Net

 

Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $6,000 compared to approximately $8,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was approximately $29,000 compared to approximately $53,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is a result of having paid off the mortgage held by G.E. Capital when we sold the building and property of our prior headquarters in April, 2013.

 

Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, there was no current income tax expense. In March of 2014, New York State eliminated the state income tax for qualified manufacturing companies such as CVD. Due to this change in tax law, the Company was required to write off state-level deferred tax assets of $381,000 which would have been used to offset future taxes payable to New York State. As a result we incurred net income tax expense of $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to a deferred tax benefit of $462,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This deferred tax benefit primarily resulted from the earnings of research and development credits, the different treatment of stock based compensation for financial statement and tax purposes and future benefit related to periodic net operating losses

  

Net Loss

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, we reported a net loss of approximately ($268,000) compared to net loss of approximately ($440,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of March 31, 2014, we had aggregate working capital of approximately $18,458,000 compared to $18,444,000 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $14,000, and cash and cash equivalents of $11,969,000, compared to $11,248,000 at December 31, 2013, an increase of $721,000. The increase in working capital and cash and cash equivalents was primarily a result of the timing of both shipments and customer payments on outstanding balances.

 

Accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2014 was approximately $1,958,000 compared to $2,883,000 as of December 31, 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to the timing of shipments and customer payments.

 

On April 5, 2013, we closed on the sale of our former corporate headquarters located at 1860 Smithtown Avenue, Ronkonkoma, New York. The selling price for the premises was $3,875,000, exclusive of closing costs.

 

We believe we have a sufficient amount of cash on hand and cash flows from operations to meet our working capital and investment requirements for the next twelve months.

 

We may also raise additional funds in the event we determine in the future to effect one or more acquisitions of businesses, technologies or products. In addition, we may elect to raise additional funds even before we need them if the conditions for raising capital are favorable. Any equity or equity-linked financing could be dilutive to existing shareholders.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements at this time.

Item 4.               Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, management of the Company, under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, reviewed and performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Report”).

 

Based on that review and evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, along with our management, have determined that as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-Q, the disclosure controls and procedures were and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and were effective to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

 

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

 

We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
