Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of KES Science & Technology, Inc. which comprise the statements of financial position as of October 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related statements of activities, changes in members’ capital and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KES Science & Technology, Inc. as of October 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations - KES Science & Technology, Inc. (the "Company") is principally engaged in the manufacturing of misting systems. The Company extends credit to many of its customers, substantially allof whom are in the food services industry. The Company sells its products throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

 

Financial Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cost of Sales Recognition - Cost related to sales are recorded when control is transferred to the customer.

Concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of sales and trade account receivables. At October 31, 2020 and 2019, one customer accounted for 10% and 13% of sales. At October 31, 2020 and 2019, one customer accounted for 10% and 12% of accounts receivable.

 

Inventory - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value with estimates of quantities and prices used in some cases.

 

Accounts Receivable - An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for possible losses on the collection of accounts based upon periodic review of credit risks. Customers not making paymentsin accordance with terms offered, or historical practices, are determined to be past due. Accounts are written off against the allowance when management determines that probability of collection is remote. Management deems an account to be uncollectible when all collection efforts have failed or the customer is bankrupt.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and accelerated method. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or sold,the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gains and losses are included in income.

 

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with accounting standards. These standards require companies to determine if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If a change in circumstances warrants such an evaluation, undiscounted future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset, as well as respective market values, are estimated to determine if an impairment exists. Management believes that there has been no impairment of the carrying value of its long-lived assets at October 31, 2020.

 

Variable Interest Entities - The Company has elected not to consolidate a Variable Interest Entity under the simplified accounting treatment allowable by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $66,898 and

$81,087 for the years 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

 

Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs for purchases are included in cost of sales on the statements of income and retained earnings.

 

Uncertainty in Tax Positions - The Company has adopted accounting rules that prescribe when to recognize, and how to measure, the financial statement effects of income tax positions taken, or expectedto be taken, on its income tax returns. These rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained. Based on that evaluation, the Company only recognizes the maximum benefit of each income tax position that ismore than 50% likely of being sustained. To the extent that all, or a portion of, the benefits of an income tax position are not recorded, a liability would be recorded for the uncertain tax position, along with any interest and penalties that would result from disallowance of the position. Should any such penalties and interest be incurred, they would be recorded as operating expenses.

 

Based on the results of management's evaluation, no liability has been recorded in the accompanyingbalance sheets for uncertain tax positions.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the 2019 financial statements have been reclassified to conformto the 2020 financial statement presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require the recognition of right-to-use assets and lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases by lessees.

Since the issuance of this standard, there have been several additional standards issued relative to this topic. These standards will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2021. Early

application will be permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoptionof these standards on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount

that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also added Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers, to the ASC to require the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, we refer to the new Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the "new guidance."

 

The Company adopted the requirements of the new guidance as of November 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. Adoption of the new guidance did not require any significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition, trade and other receivables, contract costs, contract liabilities, or deferred costs. Accordingly, there has been no adjustment to retained earnings or any other balance sheet accounts as of November 1, 2019, to reflect adoption of the new guidance.

 

The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of misting systems. Revenue is recognized when control of these products is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the considerationthe

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

 

Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with the revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterialin the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Costs incurred to obtain a contract are expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year.

 

The Company’s contracts are cancelable at any time by either party. The Company’s standard terms are 30 days, but may vary based on specific contract terms negotiated, and the accounts are aged based on invoice date. The Company does not have any significant financing components.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consists of sales of misting systems. These goods are sold to end customers which include produce grocers, convenience stores, nurseries and other plant and produce watering companies. For performance obligations related to sales of misting systems, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment to the customer.

NOTE 6 - PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN

 

In April 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $247,012 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) which was established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). PPP loans and accrued interest are forgivable after a “covered period” as long as the borrower meets certain criteria. Any unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two or five years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for 10 months after the end of the covered period. The Company intends to apply for forgiveness within the required time allowed which is 10 months after the end of the covered period.

 

To the extent that the Company is not granted forgiveness, the Company will be required to pay interest on the PPP loan at a rate of 1% per annum. If the application for forgiveness is not made within 10 months of the end of the covered period, payments of principal and interest will be required through thematurity date of April 2022. The terms of the loan provide for customary events of default, including payment defaults, breach of representation of warranties, and insolvency events. The PPP loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of a default event.

 

 

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES          
The provision for income taxes consist of the following components:          
    2020    2019 

 

Current tax

  $—     $27 
Deferred tax   16,747    14,391 
Total  $16,747   $14,418 

 

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets are primarily attributable to a net operating loss created by the change in tax basis in accordance with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017 and accrued trade expenses that are deductible when paid. The deferred tax liabilities are primarily attributable to the use of accelerated methods of depreciation of property and equipment and trade receivables that are not taxable until collected. The tax provision differs from the expense that would result from applying statutory rates to income before income taxes. The primary difference results from permanent differences in deducting certain business expenses for financial reporting, but not for income tax purposes.

 

As of October 31, 2020, the Company has federal operating loss carry forwards totaling $163,771 that may be offset against future taxable income. Under the TCJA, these loss carry forwards do not expire.

 

Net deferred income taxes recognized as noncurrent assets (liabilities) in the balance sheet as of October 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

 

   2020  2019

 

Total deferred tax asset

  $138,146   $208,755 
Total deferred tax liability   (135,590)   (189,452)
Net deferred tax asset  $2,556   $19,303 

 

 11 

 

NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

 

Both federal and state deferred tax amounts reflected in the table above were net assets at October 31,2020 and 2019. Management has determined that no valuation allowance related to deferred tax assetsis necessary at October 31, 2020 and 2019.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations - KES Science & Technology, Inc. (the "Company") is principally engaged in the manufacturing of misting systems. The Company extends credit to many of its customers, substantially all of whom are in the food services industry. The Company sells its products throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.

 

Financial Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assetsand liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expensesduring the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cost of Sales Recognition - Cost related to sales are recorded when control is transferred to the customer.

Concentrations - Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of sales and trade account receivables. At July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 10% and 13% of sales. At July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2021, one customer accounted for 10%and 12% of accounts receivable.

 

Inventory - Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or net realizable value with estimates of quantities and prices used in some cases.

 

Accounts Receivable - An allowance for doubtful accounts has been established for possible losses on the collection of accounts based upon periodic review of credit risks. Customers not making paymentsin accordance with terms offered, or historical practices, are determined to be past due. Accounts are written off against the allowance when management determines that probability of collection is remote.

Management deems an account to be uncollectible when all collection efforts have failed or the customer is bankrupt.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method and accelerated method. Routine repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are retired or sold, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and the resulting gains and losses are included in income.

 

The Company reviews for impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with accounting standards. These standards require companies to determine if changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If a change in circumstances warrants such an evaluation, undiscounted future cash flows from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset, as well as respective market values, are estimated to determine if an impairment exists. Management believes thatthere has been no impairment of the carrying value of its long-lived assets at July 31, 2020.

 

Variable Interest Entities - The Company has elected not to consolidate a Variable Interest Entity under the simplified accounting treatment allowable by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.

 19 

 

 

Advertising - Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $58,758 and $71,409 for the 9 month period July 31, 2020 and July 31, 2021

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Shipping and Handling Costs - Shipping and handling costs for purchases are included in cost of sales on the statements of income and retained earnings.

 

Uncertainty in Tax Positions - The Company has adopted accounting rules that prescribe when to recognize, and how to measure, the financial statement effects of income tax positions taken, or expectedto be taken, on its income tax returns. These rules require management to evaluate the likelihood that, upon examination by relevant taxing jurisdictions, those income tax positions would be sustained. Based on that evaluation, the Company only recognizes the maximum benefit of each income tax position that ismore than 50% likely of being sustained. To the extent that all, or a portion of, the benefits of an income tax position are not recorded, a liability would be recorded for the uncertain tax position, along with any interest and penalties that would result from disallowance of the position.

Should any such penalties and interest be incurred, they would be recorded as operating expenses.

 

Based on the results of management's evaluation, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying balance sheets for uncertain tax positions.

 

Reclassifications - Certain amounts in the July 31, 2021 financial statements have been reclassified to conformto the 2020 financial statement presentation.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted - In February 2016, the Financial AccountingStandards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which will require the recognition ofright-to-use assets and lease liabilities for leases previously classified as operating leases by lessees.

 

Since the issuance of this standard, there have been several additional standards issued relative to this topic. These standards will be effective for the calendar year ending December 31, 2021. Early application will be permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoptionof these standards on the financial statements.

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new guidance that created Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in the Accounting Standards Codification (ASC). Topic 606 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, and requires the recognition of revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount

that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance also added Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs— Contractswith Customers, to the ASC to require the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer. Collectively, we refer to the new Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the "new guidance."

 

The Company adopted the requirements of the new guidance as of November 1, 2020, utilizing the modified retrospective method of transition. Adoption of the new guidance did not require any

 20 

 

 

significantchanges to the Company’s accounting policies for revenue recognition, trade and other receivables, contract costs, contract liabilities, or deferred costs. Accordingly, there has been no adjustment to retained earnings or any other balance sheet accounts as of July 31, 2021, to reflect adoption of the new guidance.

 

The Company derives its revenue primarily from the sale of misting systems. Revenue is recognized when control of these products is transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the considerationthe

 

NOTE 2 - REVENUE RECOGNITION (CONTINUED)

 

Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with the revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are reported within revenue. Incidental items that are immaterialin the context of the contract are recognized as expense. Costs incurred to obtain a contract are expensed as incurred when the amortization period is less than a year.

 

The Company’s contracts are cancelable at any time by either party. The Company’s standard termsare 30 days, but may vary based on specific contract terms negotiated, and the accounts are aged based on invoice date. The Company does not have any significant financing components.

 

Revenue from performance obligations satisfied at a point in time consists of sales of misting systems. These goods are sold to end customers which include produce grocers, convenience stores, nurseries and other plant and produce watering companies. For performance obligations related to sales of mistingsystems, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. The Company’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, and the Company transfers control and records revenue for product sales upon shipment to the customer.
