Note 1 Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

Syntec Optics, Inc. (the Company or Syntec) is a vertically integrated manufacturer of optics and photonics components and sub-systems – from opto-mechanicals to optical elements of various geometries, diamond turned optics – both prototype and production, and optical systems including optics assembly, electro-optics assembly, design, and coating. Sales are made to customers in the United States and Europe in defense, medical, and consumer end-markets. The Company has one reporting segment as its operating segments meet the requirements for aggregation.

 

Effective December 28, 2022, Wordingham Machine Co., Inc. and Rochester Tool and Mold, Inc. were merged with and into Syntec Technologies, Inc., with Syntec Technologies, Inc. being the surviving corporation (the Merger). Syntec Technologies, Inc. amended its name to Syntec Optics, Inc. Prior to this transaction, Wordingham Machine Co., Inc. and Rochester Tool and Mold, Inc. were wholly owned subsidiaries of Syntec. Syntec offers a unifying platform to other optics and photonics companies that can be added through acquisition.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information in accordance with Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The interim results for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or for any future period.

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Syntec Technologies, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Rochester Tool and Mold, Inc. and Wordingham Machine Co., Inc. prior to the date of the Merger, see Note 16.

 

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of ELR Associates, LLC (ELR), a variable interest entity wherein the Company is the primary beneficiary. Syntec’s variable interest in ELR is the result of providing a guaranty of payment for ELR’s mortgage on the manufacturing facility used exclusively by Syntec.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the financial position and result of operations of ELR, consisting principally of cash and cash equivalents, other assets and property and equipment of approximately $2,147,000 and $2,149,000 (net of accumulated depreciation) and liabilities, consisting of deferred grant revenue and long-term debt, of approximately $1,869,000 and $1,948,000 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively and net income of approximately $31,900 and $107,300 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Net income was approximately $28,700 and $93,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of 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. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates.

 

Cash

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash. The Company also routinely assesses the financial strength of their customers and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. On September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were amounts due from three customers that totaled approximately 58% and 66% respectively, of accounts receivable. The outstanding accounts receivable due from these customers at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were approximately $3,828,000 and $3,895,000, respectively.

Note 1 Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies – Continued

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company grants credit to substantially all customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice, net of an allowance for expected credit losses. On a periodic basis, management evaluates accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance for expected credit losses. The allowance at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to approximately $181,000 and $213,000, respectively. Customer balances are written off when amounts are deemed uncollectible, or credits are issued. The Company generally does not accrue interest on past-due balances.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods and allocated manufacturing labor and overhead. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost using the first-in, first-out basis or net realizable value. The Company provides inventory reserves for excess, obsolete, or slow-moving inventory, based on changes in customer demand, technology developments or other economic factors.

 

Property and Equipment Net of Accumulated Deprecation

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. The cost of normal maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred, whereas expenditures, which materially extend useful lives, are capitalized. When depreciable property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in other income.

 

Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

   Years 
Machinery and Equipment   7 
Building and Leasehold Improvements   14 – 15 and/or Lesser of  
    Useful Life or Lease Term 
Office Furniture and Equipment   3 - 5 
Tooling   3 - 10 
Vehicles   5 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment, are generally stated at cost. The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including right of use assets, for possible impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in circumstances are present, the carrying value of the asset is compared to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If the carrying amount exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and year ended December 31, 2022, no material impairment charges were recorded.

Leases

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. The Company records right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease obligations for its finance and operating leases, which are initially based on the discounted future minimum lease payments over the term of the lease. The payments are discounted using the rate implicit in the lease.

 

The lease term is defined as the non-cancelable period of the lease plus any options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will be exercised. Leases may also include options to terminate the arrangement or options to purchase the underlying asset. For leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, no ROU assets or lease obligations are recorded on the balance sheet and the Company recognizes short-term lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. None of the Company’s lease agreements include variable rental payments. The Company has elected to separate lease from non-lease components for all leases.

 

Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in general and administrative expense. Amortization expense for finance leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of goods sold or general and administrative expense. Interest expense for finance leases is recognized using the effective interest method. Short-term rentals and payments associated with non-lease components are expensed as incurred.

.

Debt Issuance Costs

 

The Company defers certain costs incurred in connection with obtaining financing. Costs related to line of credit agreements are recorded as an asset and are amortized to interest expense over the term of the agreement. Costs related to long-term debt financing are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt and amortized over the term of the related debt as additional interest.

 

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

 

Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in net sales and the related costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in costs of goods sold.

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising expense for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $46,076 and $58,359, respectively and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 amounted to $140,629 and $194,927, respectively.

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes with the recognition of estimated income taxes payable or refundable on income tax returns for the current year and for the estimated future tax effect attributable to temporary differences and carry forwards. Measurement of deferred income items is based on enacted tax laws, including tax rates, with the measurement of deferred income tax assets being reduced by available tax benefits not expected to be realized in the immediate future. A valuation allowance is established when it is necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to amounts for which realization is likely. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, management estimates future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards following tax law ordering rules.

 

The Company reviews tax positions taken to determine if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination resulting in an uncertain tax position. The Company did not have any material unrecognized tax benefit as of September 30, 2023 or 2022. The Company recognizes interest accrued and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company files U.S. federal tax returns and tax returns in various states.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed 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 potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. In periods where losses are reported, the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding excludes common stock equivalents, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The Company did not have any dilutive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows the fair value measurement guidance required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. This guidance defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and related disclosure requirements. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and borrowings approximate fair value, based on their terms or due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This update requires financial assets measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Since June 2016, the FASB issued clarifying updates to the new standard including changing the effective date for smaller reporting companies. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2 Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606), which provides a five-step model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers as follows:

 

  Identify the contract with a customer
  Identify the performance obligations in the contract
  Determine the transaction price
  Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
  Recognize revenue when or as performance obligations are satisfied

 

The Company’s revenue is primarily derived from three categories of products and services, (i) the production and assembly of molded plastic optics parts including polymer and glass parts, opto-mechanicals, thin film coating, diamond turned optics and optical systems including electro-optics assembly, (“Products”) (ii) the manufacture of custom tooling used to manufacture molded products, and (“Custom Tooling”) (iii) non-recurring engineering services (“Non-Recurring Engineering’). The Company’s products are marketed and sold primarily to end-user commercial customers throughout the United States and Europe. Sales of products and services are subject to economic conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in the industry, trade policies and financial markets.

 

The Company assesses the contract term as the period in which the parties to the contract have presently enforceable rights and obligations. Certain customer contracts may provide for either party to terminate the contract upon written notice.

Note 2 Revenue Recognition – Continued

 

Nature of Products and Services

 

Revenue from the sale of molded plastic, polymer and glass parts, opto-mechanicals, thin film coating, diamond turned optic and optical systems is recognized upon transfer of control to the customer, which is typically upon shipment. These sales do not meet the criteria for revenue to be recognized over time. The Company has elected to treat shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated equipment and parts and not as a separate performance obligation.

 

In general, the Company recognizes revenue from tooling contracts upon delivery and acceptance by the customer, which signifies successful completion of the contract.

 

Revenue from non-recurring engineering services is recognized upon completion of the negotiated services. These sales do not meet the criteria for revenue to be recognized over time. Non-recurring engineering services are one-off items that are unique to programs such as expedite fees or set-up fees which are billed upon completion of the task with payment terms of 30 - 60 days from date of invoice.

 

Transaction Price

 

The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods and services to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes fixed consideration. The Company’s contracts do not include variable consideration.

 

Contract Balances

 

The timing of revenue recognition generally aligns with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment, regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. Deferred revenue is recognized on the consolidated balance sheets when cash payments are received in advance of the Company satisfying its performance obligation. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue on the consolidated statements of operations when the Company satisfies its performance obligation to the customer. Balances in deferred revenue at January 1, 2023 and July 1, 2023 were $348,095 and $65,250, respectively. Revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $18,750 and $256,841, respectively. Revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 from amounts included in deferred revenue at the beginning of the period was $460,865 and $505,656, respectively. The Company does not have any contract assets.

 

Costs to Obtain a Contract

 

The Company did not incur costs of obtaining contracts expected to benefit longer than one year. As a result, there are no capitalized contract acquisition costs as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

Warranties

 

The buyer shall have thirty (30) days from the date of shipment to inspect and either accept or reject. If goods are rejected, written notice of rejection and the specific reasons therefore must be sent to the Company within such thirty (30) day period after receipt. Failure to reject goods or to notify the Company of errors, shortages, or other non-compliance with the agreement within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute irrevocable acceptance of goods and admission that they fully comply with the agreement.
