NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2015 (unaudited) and December 31, 2014 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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. The results of operations for the three and nine-month period ending September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Certain items in 2014 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in 2015. These changes have no effect on net income or the financial position of the Company.

2. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

3. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

4. The Company has entered into a contract to expand the fastener segment facility in Madison Heights, Michigan in order to provide additional capacity and improve workflow in the plant. The base contract amount is $1,502,500 and construction began during the third quarter.

5. The Company’s effective tax rates were 32.8% and 29.7% for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 32.5% and 32.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2012, 2013 and 2014 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2012, 2013 and 2014 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2012 through 2014 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2018. The Company is currently not under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Net sales in the third quarter were $9,018,272 this year, compared to $8,995,825 in the third quarter of 2014, a 0.2% increase. As of September 30, 2015, year to date sales totaled $27,508,237 compared to $28,446,927, for the first three quarters of 2014, a decline of 3.3%. Net income for the third quarter was $422,471, or $0.44 per share, compared with $540,757, or $0.56 per share, in the third quarter of 2014. Net income for the first three quarters of 2015 was $1,455,905, or $1.51 per share, compared with $1,678,184, or $1.74 per share, reported in 2014. Contributing to the less profitable results for the third quarter and the current year to date were lower fastener segment sales and increases in certain overhead costs.

In the third quarter, fastener segment revenues were $8,153,422, down $142,514, or 1.7%, from $8,295,936 in the year earlier quarter. For the first three quarters of the year, fastener segment revenues have declined $1,318,083, or 5.0%, to $24,830,182 from $26,148,265 in 2014. Sales to the China location of a certain automotive customer slowed dramatically during the third quarter and declined approximately $288,000 compared to the year earlier quarter. On a year to date basis, the decline accounted for approximately $592,000 of the net decrease in fastener segment sales in the current year. Fastener segment gross margin was $1,600,848 in the third quarter compared to $1,857,682 in the third quarter of 2014, as lower sales and increases in payroll and employee insurance negatively impacted margins in the quarter. Fastener segment gross margin for the first three quarters of 2015 was $5,255,390 compared to $5,808,879 in 2014, a reduction of $553,489, or 9.5%. While we were able to achieve savings of $168,000 in tooling and $98,000 related to supplies, production payroll costs, including a $65,000 increase in employee insurance, did not fall in proportion to the lower sales.

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $864,850 in the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $164,961, or 23.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2014, when revenues were $699,889. The increase in third quarter sales was primarily the result of an increase in the number of machines shipped compared to the third quarter of 2014. Sales of tools and parts also improved during the quarter compared to the year earlier period. For the first three quarters of the year, assembly equipment sales were $2,678,055, an increase of $379,393, or 16.5%, compared to $2,298,662 reported for the first three quarters of 2014. The increase in sales in the third quarter and the first nine months of the year resulted in an improvement in segment margins of $98,700 and $216,914, respectively.

Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 2015 were $1,294,140, a decline of $32,771, or 2.5%, compared to the year earlier quarter total of $1,326,911. The decrease is due in part to a $19,000 reduction in consulting expense in the quarter, related to ISO/TS 16949:2009 quality certification efforts in 2014, and an $18,000 decline in profit sharing expense related to lower profitability in the current year quarter. Additionally, payroll expenses declined $25,000 during the quarter compared to last year. The largest item to partially offset these declines was a $17,000 increase related to computer system upgrades during the quarter. For the first three quarters of 2015, selling and administrative expenses were $4,128,819 compared to $4,120,849 for the same period of 2014, an increase of $7,970, or 0.2%. Year to date, consulting expenses have declined $27,000 while profit sharing expense has declined $40,000. Partially offsetting these declines is a $38,000 increase in maintenance and supplies primarily related to computer system upgrades and an $18,000 increase in employee insurance expense due to higher rates. The remaining net difference is comprised of various smaller items of change. While the overall current year increase has been modest, selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of 2015 increased to 15.0%, from 14.5% in 2014, due to the net decline in sales.

Other Income

Other income in the third quarter of 2015 was $12,053, compared to $9,975 in the third quarter of 2014. Other income for the first three quarters of 2015 was $32,791, compared to $30,525 in the first nine months of 2014. Other income consists primarily of interest income on certificates of deposit.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rates were 32.8% and 29.7% for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 32.5% and 32.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

11

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital as of September 30, 2015 amounted to $16.2 million, an increase of approximately $.3 million from the beginning of the year. The most significant change in the individual working capital components since the beginning of the year was the net increase in cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposits. Capital expenditures for the first three quarters of 2015 were $1.3 million, which consisted of approximately $387,000 for equipment used in our fastener segment operations, $407,000 for equipment used in our assembly equipment segment, $336,000 for the building expansion at H & L Tool and the remainder for various building and computer system upgrades. Dividends paid in the first three quarters were $.8 million, including three regular quarterly payments of $.18 per share and an extra dividend of $.25 per share paid in the first quarter. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items on cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit was to increase such balances by $1.1 million, from the beginning of the year, to $7.4 million. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate coverage for working capital for the next twelve months and the Madison Heights, Michigan expansion.

Results of Operations Summary

Sales in the third quarter were mixed, with the increase in assembly equipment sales being largely offset by lower fastener segment sales. Fastener segment demand remained uneven during the third quarter, but improved order activity for machines resulted in strong assembly equipment sales compared to last year. Conditions in the automotive market, upon which we rely for the majority of our revenues, remain favorable, even though foreign shipments, especially to China, trail last year. We have made adjustments to our operations in response to changing demand and will continue to emphasize cost controls wherever possible. Our financial condition remains sound and has allowed us to continue to make investments in our operations in an effort to remain competitive and report positive operating results.

This discussion contains certain “forward-looking statements” which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales to two major customers, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving expected cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
