All dollar amounts (except share and per share amounts) in thousands.
1. GENERAL
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “E&S”) have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”). This report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for the six months ended June 29, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018. The Company operates on a calendar year with the first three fiscal quarters ending on the last Friday of the thirteenth week in the quarter.
Revenue Recognition
As more fully described in Note 2, effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. As a result of the adoption of ASU Topic 606, the Company changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition. See Note 2 for the methods used to determine revenue recognition for the periods presented.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value on the date of grant and is recognized over the service period for awards expected to vest. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating the value of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. Actual results and future estimates may differ from the Company’s current estimates.
Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Stock options are considered to be common stock equivalents. When the Company incurs a loss, potentially dilutive common stock equivalents are excluded as their effect would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per common share. Stock options produced common stock equivalents of

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 changes the accounting for leases. In particular, lessees will recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for operating leases. This update will have a minimal effect on lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 is not effective until 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its financial reporting of implementing this guidance.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Restricted Cash
(“ASU 2016-18”). ASU 2016-18 changes the cash flow presentation and disclosures of restricted cash. The
Company implemented this update in the presented financial statements.
2. REVENUE
The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. The Company applied Topic 606 using the cumulative effect method, and accordingly recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company used different methods for recognizing revenue in each of the periods presented as detailed below.
Products and services
The Company generates its revenue through manufacturing, integrating, distributing, and servicing its various products consisting of: Audio-Visual Systems, Domes, Show Content, and Maintenance and Service contracts. All of the Company’s products are sold worldwide.
Audio-Visual Systems consist of standard and customized hardware components integrated with proprietary software. The Audio-Visual Systems are most often used as the primary equipment for planetarium theaters operated by educational institutions. Occasionally, Audio-Visual Systems are sold for other special purposes at various visitor attractions. Audio-Visual System sales include upgrades of existing systems and sub-systems. Sales of typical Audio-Visual Systems range from $200 to $2,000.
Domes are hemispheric or curved metal structures fabricated from mostly aluminum metal tubing and sheets at the Company’s factory. Some Dome components have a special optical coating applied by a partner vendor. The Dome components are shipped to a customer site and are assembled and installed in or on the customer’s building by a crew of Company employees or subcontractors. Domes are often sold with an Audio-Visual System to serve as projection screens but can also be sold separately. Most often a Dome sold separately is used as a projection screen but occasionally they are used as architectural treatments. Dome projection screens sold separately can be used for existing planetarium theaters or other special visitor attractions such as theme park rides. A typical Dome is a hemispheric structure ranging from 40 to 70 feet in diameter but Domes are also produced in various curved shapes and sizes to accommodate a special purpose. Dome sales typically range from $200 to $1,000 but occasionally exceed this range for sales of multiple complex structures priced at several million dollars.

(Unaudited)
Show Content is sold under a license agreement. Show Content can also be sold with or without an Audio-Visual System. Most Show Content is sold to planetarium theaters which historically have been used as astronomical simulators; however, digital technologies have expanded capabilities to display a wider variety of content. The Company’s Show Content products include a variety of mostly educational topics including but not limited to astronomy, earth sciences, history, and biology. The Company sells Show Content it produces as well as content produced by other entities under distribution arrangements. Show Content sales typically range from $2 to $80.
Maintenance and Service is sold in the form of spare parts or service agreements that sometimes include an extended warranty feature. Maintenance and Service is sold predominantly for Audio-Visual Systems. Dome products require less maintenance but can benefit from an occasional cleaning. Part sales typically range from $1 to $100. Maintenance and Service contract sales typically range from $3 to $200.
The Company sells and markets its products through its employee sales team. For many foreign sales, the employee team is assisted by commissioned agents based in the locale of the customer. The Company markets its products through a network of industry associations and by messaging to the designers of planetarium theaters and visitor attractions. For Dome sales other than for planetarium projects, the Company relies on relationships developed with many satisfied customers in the architectural, visitor attraction, and theme park community. Customer decisions are based on price, product features and the experience of the supplier.
Most of the Company’s revenue comes from sales of Audio-Visual Systems and Domes for planetarium theaters or other visitor attractions. Sales can be to existing theaters interested in upgrading or to a new theater. Maintenance and Service and Show Content provide a reasonably steady stream of repeat revenue from existing customers but only at levels that can supplement the volume required from Audio-visual Systems and Domes necessary to sustain the business. As such, the Company relies on sales to new projects each year. Customer sales sometimes can take years to consummate from the initial planning stage to the award of the contract. Often there is a competitive bid process with multiple suppliers involved.
Customer contracts generally provide for progress payments which in many cases provides advance funding for the cost of performance. In some cases, customers hold a small portion of the contract payment for performance security through the warranty. The Company may also be required to provide performance security in the form of a surety bond or international standby letter of credit. Most customers are large public institutions, government or quasi-government entities, and large theme park entities, which carry little credit risk.
Multiple Deliverable Arrangements
Some contracts include multiple deliverables. Significant deliverables in such arrangements commonly include Audio-Visual Systems, Domes, Show Content and various Maintenance and Service deliverables. Revenue earned on deliverables such as products, services and maintenance contracts are allocated to each deliverable based on the relative fair values of the deliverables. Relative fair values of deliverables are generally determined based on actual and estimated selling price. Delivery times of such contracts vary but typically occur within a three to twelve-month time period.
Revenue Recognition Methods for 2017
Percentage of Completion. In arrangements that are longer in term and require significant production, modification or customization, revenue is recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. In applying this method, the Company utilizes cost-to-cost methodology whereby it estimates the percent complete by calculating the ratio of costs incurred (consisting of material, labor and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs) for each contract to its total anticipated costs for that contract. This ratio is then utilized to determine the amount of gross profit earned based on the Company’s estimate of total gross profit at completion for each contract. The Company routinely reviews estimates related to percentage-of-completion contracts and adjusts for changes in the period the revisions are made. Billings on uncompleted percentage-of-completion contracts may be greater than or less than revenue recognized and are recorded as an asset or liability in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

arrangement exists, title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured.
Other. Other revenue consists primarily of amounts earned under maintenance contracts that are generally sold as a single element. Revenue from product maintenance contracts, including separately priced extended warranty contracts, is deferred and recognized over the period of performance under the contract.
Revenue Recognition Methods for 2018
In 2018, upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The following describes the methods used to recognize revenue under the application of Topic 606.
Audio-Visual Systems. The Company’s Audio-Visual Systems are sold for a fixed price under non-cancelable contracts. Because systems are often designed with unique features and constantly changing technology components, there is no practical alternative use for a system after it is sold. Under Topic 606, if an entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity, and the entity has an enforceable right to payment for the performance completed to date, then its performance obligation is satisfied and control of the product transfers over time. If control transfers over time, an entity selects a method to measure progress that is consistent with the objective of depicting its performance and recognizes revenue accordingly. The Company has determined the percentage-of-completion method utilizing cost-to-cost methodology best depicts the measure of progress because it tracks the utilization of total resources to fulfill the obligation. This same method has been used prior to the adoption of Topic 606 for recognizing revenue on certain Audio-Visual System sales and most Dome sales. With the adoption of Topic 606, essentially all Audio-Visual Systems and subsystem sales will use the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition.
Domes. The Company’s Domes are sold for a fixed price under non-cancelable contracts. Because Domes have custom design and interface features, there is no practical alternative use for a Dome after it is sold. As discussed above under Audio-Visual Systems, when there is no alternative use for the product and there is an enforceable right to payment, Topic 606 requires revenue to be recognized over the time of performance. Accordingly, the Company continues to use the percentage-of-completion method utilizing cost-to-cost methodology for the recognition of revenue for the sale Domes, as it has prior to the adoption of Topic 606.
Show Content. Show Content is sold under various license agreements, most often for a fixed price, but occasionally for a variable share of the customer’s theater revenue. Sales of Show Content require no future obligations by the Company after delivery. The Company recognizes the revenue for fixed price Show Content licenses upon the execution of the license agreement and delivery of media since that is the time control and benefit of the Show Content is transferred. Under Topic 606, an entity does not recognize revenue for the variable amounts related to a royalty until a customer’s subsequent sales or usage occurs. Accordingly, revenue from the variable share of the customer’s theater revenue is recognized when realized. The method used by the Company for recognizing Show Content revenue has not changed with the adoption of Topic 606.
Maintenance and Service. Maintenance and Service revenue consists of parts sales and service contracts. Parts sales are recognized upon shipment which is when the control and benefit transfers to the customer. Service contracts are sold for a fixed price and provide the customer with various levels of preventive service, support and limited warranty protection. Under Topic 606, the revenue for service contracts is recognized ratably over the term of the contract or upon delivery of a service specified in the contract. The method used by the Company for recognizing Maintenance and Service revenue has not changed with the adoption of Topic 606.
Contract Acquisition Costs
Contract acquisition costs consist of expenditures of Company employee and other resources and, in some cases, the payment of sales commissions to non-employee agents. Expenditures of Company employee and other resources are costs that would be incurred regardless of whether the contract is obtained, are not recoverable, and therefore are expensed as they are incurred under Topic 606. Sales commissions paid to agents are incurred only if the contract is obtained and therefore are incremental costs of acquiring the contract. Rather than capitalize the cost of sales commissions, the Company has elected to expense sales commissions as incurred under the practical expedient permitted by Topic 606, whereby expensing is permitted when the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

Contract Balances
The following table provides information about receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers as of June 29, 2018:
| June 29, 2018 | January 1, 2018 |
|
|
|
Receivables reported as accounts receivable, net | $ | $3,794 |
Contract revenue in excess of billings | 3,517 | |
Billings in excess of contract revenue | 6,265 |
Significant changes in the contract assets and the contract liabilities balances during the period are as follows:
| Contract Assets | Contract Liabilities |
|
|
|
Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period |
| $ |
|

|
|
Transferred to receivables from contract assets recognized at the beginning of the period | $ ( |
|
|
|
|
Increases as a result of revenue recognized, excluding amounts transferred to receivables during the period | $ |
|
Contract revenue in excess of billings are contract assets that arise when revenue recognized on a contract exceeds the cumulative progress billings. Contracts generally provide for an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date but do not necessarily have a present right to consideration payment for performance completed until the event that triggers the progress billing. The contract assets are transferred to the receivables when the rights to payment occur and amounts are billed. Billings in excess of contract revenue are contract liabilities that arise when progress billings on a contract exceed the revenue recognized. Contract liabilities are relieved as the performance obligation is completed and revenue is recognized. Progress billings vary among contracts and can be triggered by chronological milestones, performance events or other various measurements of performance.
Backlog of Remaining Customer Performance Obligations
The following table includes estimated revenue expected to be recognized and recorded as sales in the future from the backlog of performance obligations that are unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) at the end of the reporting period.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except for the changes disclosed in Note 1 under revenue recognition, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to both periods presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of initial application of January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has changed its accounting policy for revenue recognition as detailed below. The Company applied Topic 606 using the cumulative effect method and accordingly recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018. Therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under prior accounting rules.
The following tables summarize the impacts of adopting Topic 606 on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 29, 2018:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes of Evans & Sutherland Computer Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” “E&S,” “we,” “us” and “our”) included in Item 1 of Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In addition to the historical information contained herein, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain "forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the fact they use words such as “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “may,” “project,” “guidance,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe” and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance. One can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from current expectations. These statements are likely to relate to, among other things, the Company’s goals, plans and projections regarding its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, market position, product development, sales efforts, expenses, performance or results of current and anticipated products and the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings and financial results, which are based on current expectations that involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including internal or external factors that could delay, divert or change any of them in the next several years.
Although the Company believes it has been prudent in its plans and assumptions, no assurance can be given that any goal or plan set forth in forward-looking statements can be achieved and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company undertakes no obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
All dollar amounts are in thousands.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As described in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with a date of the initial application of January 1, 2018. The Company applied Topic 606 using the cumulative effect method and accordingly recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying Topic 606 as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company used different methods for recognizing revenue in each of the years presented as detailed below.
The adoption of Topic 606 changed the method of recognizing revenue for certain customer contracts. More specifically, for some contracts, revenue previously was not recognized until the product was accepted by the customer. Under Topic 606, revenue for these contracts will be recognized over time using the percentage completion method, which is the method used for most of our customer contracts. The immediate effect of the change was to accelerate earnings on the revenue backlog for the effected contracts. Much of this acceleration was recorded in a cumulative transition adjustment, whereby $682 of gross profit on $1,606 of sales was recorded directly to stockholders’ equity. Although the benefit of the earnings from the transition adjustment is reflected in the financial position of the Company on the balance sheet, it will not be reported in the statement of operations. Going forward, we believe Topic 606 will create a smoother revenue stream by spreading more revenue over the period of performance as opposed to previously when some contract revenue was recorded in a lump sum in the period of acceptance by the customer.
The results for the three and six months ended June 29, 2018 produced net income of $619 and $658, respectively. The 2018 results compared favorably to the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 which reported a loss of $171 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and marginal income of $14 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The improved results were attributable to increased sales recorded in 2018. Some of the increase in sales recorded was attributable to the change in the method of recognizing revenue as explained above. As more fully described in the footnotes to the financial statements, under the accounting methods used in 2017, the three months and six months ended June 29, 2018 would have produced net income of $373 and $179 respectively. Sales for 2018 were higher,
17
due to more work completed on customer projects in the second quarter of 2018. The sales recorded is driven by the expenditure of resources required to meet customer schedules for the projects in the sales backlog. Sales bookings were healthy in the first six months of 2018 and, with the sales prospects, present an opportunity for profitable results for the remainder of 2018.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Certain accounting policies are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Their application requires significant management judgment, with financial reporting results relying on estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. A summary of critical accounting policies can be found in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. In addition, the Company considers the new revenue standard, adopted January 1, 2018 and described in Note 2, to be a critical accounting policy. For all of these policies, management cautions that future results rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best estimates routinely require modification.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Sales and Backlog
The following table summarizes our sales:
| Three Months Ended |
| Six Months Ended | ||||
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
Sales | $8,872 |
| $6,744 |
| $16,453 |
| $14,787 |
See Note 2 and Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for explanations of changes in the accounting method for revenue recognition. Sales for the three and six months ended June 29, 2018 would have been $7,996 and $15,143 using the same accounting method used in 2017. The higher 2018 sales were attributable to an increase in work performed on larger planetarium systems and domes; otherwise the contribution to sales from other customer projects was comparable in the periods presented.
Revenue backlog decreased to $26,778 as of June 29, 2018, compared to $27,360 as of December 31, 2017. The decrease in the revenue backlog is mainly attributed to the change in accounting method for revenue recognition. As discussed in Note 2 and Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the cumulative effect of the change was recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at January 1, 2018. This adjustment recorded the gross profit on $1,606 of sales from the revenue backlog. Also, the changes in the accounting method for revenue recognition resulted in $1,310 of additional sales in the six months of 2018. Hence, the change in the accounting method for revenue recognition reduced the backlog by a total $2,916. Had it not been for the change, the sales backlog would have increased to $29,694. The revenue backlog benefited by strong sales bookings for planetarium systems in the first six months of 2018.
Gross Profit
The following table summarizes our gross profit and the gross profit as a percentage of total sales:
| Three Months Ended |
| Six Months Ended | ||||
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
Gross profit | $3,218 |
| $2,265 |
| $5,897 |
| $4,939 |
Gross profit percentage | 36% |
| 34% |
| 36% |
| 33% |
The mix of products delivered and the types of customer contracts that contributed to the revenue in the periods presented causes variability in the gross profit percentage. Also, the higher 2018 sales resulted in efficiencies that lowered overhead cost of as a percentage of sales.

Operating Expenses
The following table summarizes our operating expenses:
| Three Months Ended |
| Six Months Ended | ||||
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
Selling, general and administrative | $1,685 |
| $1,517 |
| $3,431 |
| $3,123 |
Research and development | 740 |
| 766 |
| 1,494 |
| 1,467 |
Pension | 54 |
| 57 |
| 108 |
| 115 |
Total operating expenses | $2,479 |
| $2,340 |
| $5,033 |
| $4,705 |
Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher in 2018 compared to 2017. This was due to the timing of expenditures and costs related to a bi-annual industry conference in 2018. Also, in 2017, there was a reduction in the allowance for doubtful accounts receivable resulting in a credit which reduced 2017 expenses.
Research and development expenses were comparable in the periods presented. Research and development expenses generally vary with use of engineering resources for product improvement projects as opposed to customer delivery activities.
Pension expense declined slightly in 2018 compared to 2017 due to a decrease in the interest cost on the SERP.
Other Expense, net
The following table summarizes our other expense:
| Three Months Ended |
| Six Months Ended | ||||
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
| June 29, 2018 |
| June 30, 2017 |
Total other expense, net | $100 |
| $93 |
| $175 |
| $202 |
Other expense decreased in 2018 compared to 2017 mainly due to declining interest expense on the Pension Settlement Obligation and mortgage notes along with offsetting increase of interest income from a capital lease receivable.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Outlook
As discussed above in the executive summary, we believe existing liquidity resources and funds generated from forecasted revenue will be sufficient to meet our current and long-term obligations. We continue to operate in a rapidly evolving and often unpredictable business environment that may change the timing or amount of expected future cash receipts and expenditures.
Cash Flows
In the first six months of 2018, $137 of cash provided by operating activities was attributable to $1,077 of cash provided by the net income for the period, after the effect of non-cash items of $419 which was offset by cash used by changes to working capital of $940. The significant uses of cash from changes to working capital were increases in accounts receivable, inventory, and contract revenue in excess of billings. This was partially offset by an increase in billings in excess of contract revenue resulting from advance billings to customers. These changes are attributable to the timing of billings, customer payments and new customer orders.
In the first six months of 2017, $1,297 of cash used in operating activities was attributable to $192 of cash provided by the net income for the period, after the effect of $178 of non-cash items and an unfavorable change to working capital of $1,489. The change to working capital was driven by increases in receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets, and contract revenue in excess of billings, which was offset by an increase in billings in excess of contract
19
revenue. These increases are attributable to the timing of billings and new customer orders. The change in working capital was also affected by an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets.
Cash used in investing activities was $56 for the six months ended June 29, 2018 compared to $86 for the same period of 2017. Investing activities for both periods presented consisted almost entirely of property and equipment purchases.
For the six months ended June 29, 2018, financing activities used $110 of cash compared to $105 in 2017 for principal payments on mortgage notes.
Line of Credit
The Company is a party to a line-of-credit agreement with a commercial bank which permits borrowings of up to $1,100 to fund the working capital requirements of Spitz. Under the line of credit agreement, interest is charged on amounts borrowed at the lender’s prime rate less 0.25%. Any borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by Spitz real and personal property and all of the outstanding shares of Spitz common stock. The line-of-credit agreement and mortgage notes (with the same commercial bank) contain cross default provisions whereby a default on either agreement will result in a default on both agreements. There were no borrowings outstanding under the line-of-credit agreement as of June 29, 2018.
Letters of Credit
Under the terms of financing arrangements for letters of credit, the Company is required to maintain a balance in a specific cash account equal to or greater than the outstanding value of all letters of credit issued, plus other amounts necessary to adequately secure obligations with the financial institutions who issue the letters of credit. As of June 29, 2018 there were outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees of $405, which are scheduled to expire during the year ending December 31, 2018.
Mortgage Notes
As of June 29, 2018, Spitz had obligations totaling $1,654 under its two mortgage notes payable.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective at the reasonable assurance level such that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company are detected.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
On January 1, 2018 the Company’s subsidiary began processing inventory transactions on the integrated accounting software system it uses for all other transactions. Prior to 2018 the subsidiary’s inventory and product bills of material were accounted for using a legacy system. This change was made to improve the efficiency of the accounting function through improved integration of all transactions. Also, transitioning off the legacy system
20
provides better security and assurance of system support. The Company has made changes to its internal control over financial reporting in connection with this transition from the legacy system.
Other than the improvements noted above, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures discussed above that occurred during the three months ended June 29, 2018, or subsequent to that date, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies which may be identified during this process.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of business, we become involved in various legal proceedings. Although the final outcome of such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe the ultimate disposition of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity, or results of operations.
