CRAWFORD UNITED CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
MARCH 31, 2022

 

 

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Crawford United Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). Significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. 

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies.

 

 

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s Summary of Significant Accounting Policies is provided with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses. The standard requires a financial asset (including trade receivables) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Thus, the income statement will reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly-recognized financial assets as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. This standard will be effective for smaller reporting companies beginning after December 15, 2022.The Company is in the process of analyzing the impact to its financial statements.

 

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies 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.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Accounting for "Financial Instruments" requires the Company to disclose estimated fair values of financial instruments. Financial instruments held by the Company include, among others, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for assets and liabilities qualifying as financial instruments is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

As defined in FASB ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements", fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

* Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

* Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include: * Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

* Quoted prices for identical assets or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

* Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

* Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

* Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

 

7

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, including the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Stock: The stock market value is based on valuation of market quotes from independent active market sources, and is considered a level 1 investment.

 

 

3.  ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE 

 

The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information. The reserve for doubtful accounts was $13,409 and $75,930 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

 

 

4.  INVENTORY

5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

 

For the identified reporting units, impairment testing was performed as of December 31, 2021 using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information, with consideration given to the existing uncertainty in the global economy and aerospace and defense industry, particularly the commercial sector. The results of this test indicated the fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units tested. As a result of the impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2021, no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired. Management updated their assessment during the first quarter of fiscal 2022 and validated the assumptions used in the analyses performed as of December 31, 2021 and determined that the resulting conclusions remained appropriate as of March 31, 2022.

 

Goodwill increased by $1.2 million from $14.4 million at December 31, 2021 to $15.6 million at March 31, 2022. The increase in Goodwill was driven by the addition of $1.4 million of Goodwill related to the acquisition of Reverso Pumps and Separ America in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment in the quarter, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million related to a purchase accounting adjustment to Goodwill for Global-Tek and Global-Tek Colorado, also in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment.

 

Intangible assets relate to the purchase of businesses. Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed on an annual basis for impairment. Amortization of intangibles is being amortized on a straight-line basis over period ranging from one year to 15 years. Intangible assets are as follows:

 

  

March 31,

2022

2021

  3,522,815   3,203,585 

Intangible assets, net

 $10,317,334  $9,336,564 

 

Amortization of intangibles assets was: $319,230 and $205,924 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

8.  BANK DEBT 

 

The Company entered into a Credit Agreement on  June 1, 2017 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender, which was subsequently amended in connection with funding the acquisition of CAD Enterprises, Inc. (“CAD”) on  July 5, 2018 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”). As amended, the Credit Agreement is comprised of a revolving facility in the amount of $12,000,000, subject to a borrowing base (determined based on 80% of Eligible Accounts, plus 50% of Eligible Progress Billing Accounts, plus 50% of Eligible Inventory, minus Reserves, each as defined in the Credit Agreement) and a term A loan in the amount of $6,000,000. Outstanding borrowings on the term A loan are payable in consecutive monthly installments, which currently amount to $111,111 per month. The Credit Agreement was amended on September 30, 2019 to expand the revolving loan amount from $12,000,000 to $20,000,000, subject to a borrowing base, and to extend the maturity of revolving facility from June 1, 2021 to June 1, 2024. The Credit Agreement was amended on December 30, 2019 to eliminate the borrowing base. The Credit Agreement was amended on March 2, 2021 to expand the revolving loan amount from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000.

 

The revolving facility under the Credit Agreement includes a $3 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit thereunder. Interest for borrowings under the revolving facility accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins of (i) (0.25%) for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 1.75% for LIBOR loans. The maturity date of the revolving facility is  June 1, 2024. Interest for borrowings under the term A loan accrues at a per annum rate equal to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus applicable margins of (i) 0.25% for Prime Rate loans and (ii) 2.25% for LIBOR loans. The maturity date of the term A loan is December 1, 2022. The Credit Agreement includes a commitment fee on the unused portion of the revolving facility of 0.25% per annum payable quarterly. The obligations of the Company and other borrowers under the Credit Agreement are secured by a blanket lien on all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also includes customary representations and warranties and applicable reporting requirements and covenants. The financial covenants under the Credit Agreement include a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum senior funded debt to EBITDA ratio and a maximum total funded debt to EBITDA ratio. LIBOR is a common benchmark interest rate (or reference rate) used to set and make adjustments to interest rates for certain floating rate securities and other financial instruments. Financial institutions are discontinuing the use of LIBOR and adopting alternative reference rates including the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

13. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION  

 

The Company elected to report operations for two business segments: (1) Commercial Air Handling Equipment, (2) Industrial and Transportation Products. The decision to change from three to two reportable business segments was the result of a board-level discussion and was deemed appropriate given the size of the Company. The Company's management evaluates segment performance based primarily on operating income. Certain corporate costs are allocated to the segments and interest expense directly related to financing the acquisition of a business is allocated to that segment, respectively.  Intangible assets are allocated to each segment and the related amortization of these assets are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding of the Company's financial position at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted our operations and affected our business, and may continue to do so, due to many factors, including imposition by government authorities of mandatory closures, work-from-home orders and social distancing protocols, increased employee absenteeism due to illness and/or quarantine requirements, and other restrictions that could materially adversely affect our ability to adequately staff and maintain our operation. The COVID-19 pandemic has also disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, our operations and facilities and to provide personal protective equipment for our employees. There may also be long-term negative effects on the economic well being of our customers and in the economies of affected countries. Even as government restrictions have been lifted and economies gradually reopened, the shape of the economic recovery remains uncertain and may continue to negatively impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial position in subsequent quarters.

 

Items Affecting the Comparability of our Financial Results

 

The Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of KT Acquisition LLC (name later changed to Komtek Forge LLC “Komtek”), in Worcester, Massachusetts on January 15, 2021.

 

The Company purchased all of the membership interests of Global-Tek Manufacturing LLC (“Global-Tek”) in Ceiba, Puerto Rico and substantially all of the assets of Machining Technology L.L.C. (“Machining Technology”), in Longmont, Colorado on March 2, 2021.

 

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Emergency Hydraulics LLC, (“Emergency Hydraulics”) in Ocala, Florida on July 1, 2021.

 

The Company purchased substantially all of the operating assets of Reverso Pumps, Inc, (“Reverso Pumps”) and Separ of the Americas, LLC, (“Separ America”), both located in Davie, Florida on January 10, 2022.

 

Accordingly, in light of the timing of these transactions, the Company’s results for the quarter ended on March 31, 2022 include the added results of operations of Emergency Hydraulics, Reverso Pumps and Separ America in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment. Conversely, our results for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 do not include the results of operations of Emergency Hydraulics, Reverso Pumps and Separ America and also do not include a full quarter for Komtek, Global-Tek and Machining Technology in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment.

Results of Operations Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (“current quarter”) increased to $31.0 million, an increase of approximately $7.0 million or 29% from sales of $24.0 million during the same quarter of the prior year. This increase in sales was primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisitions of Emergency Hydraulics, Reverso Pumps and Separ America in addition to a full quarter of earnings from Komtek, Global-Tek and Machining Technology.

 

Cost of sales for the current quarter was $24.6 million compared to $18.0 million, an increase of $6.6 million or 37% from the same quarter of the prior year.  Gross profit was $6.4 million in the current quarter compared to $6.0 million, an increase of $0.4 million from the same quarter of the prior year.  The increase in cost of sales and gross profit was primarily attributable to the impact of the acquisitions of Emergency Hydraulics, Reverso Pumps and Separ America, in addition to a full quarter of earnings in 2022 from Komtek, Global-Tek and Machining Technology.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) in the current quarter were $5.0 million, or 16% of sales, compared to $3.7 million, or 15% of sales in the first quarter of last year. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of sales due primarily to $0.9 million of stock awards that were granted in the current quarter compared to $0.3 million of stock awards during the same quarter of last year. An additional $0.5 million of Selling, general and administrative expenses in the current quarter were a result of the acquisitions of Reverso Pumps and Separ America, in addition to a full quarter of expenses in 2022 for Komtek, Global-Tek and Machining Technology.

 

Interest charges in the current quarter were approximately $0.3 million compared to $0.2 million in the same quarter of the prior year. The interest expense increased due to higher balances on the Company’s floating rate bank debt. Average total debt (including notes) and average interest rates for the current quarter were $29.0 million and 2.7% compared to $25.6 million and 3.0% in the same period of last year.

 

Other income, net was $0.5 million in the current quarter compared to $1.6 million of other income, net in the same quarter of the prior year.  The decrease in other income is primarily driven by the forgiveness of the Company’s $1.5 million in outstanding Payroll Protection Loans (“PPP Loans”) in full by the U.S. Small Business Administration in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to no PPP Loan forgiveness in the first quarter of 2022. The forgiveness of the PPP Loans was treated as income in the first quarter of 2021.

 

Income tax expense in the current quarter was $0.6 million compared to $0.5 million in the same quarter of the prior year. Tax expense is higher compared to the same quarter of the prior year because PPP Loan forgiveness is not taxable, which contributed to a lower tax rate in 2021.

 

Net income in the current quarter was $1.1 million or $0.31 per diluted share as compared to the net income of $3.1 million or $0.93 per diluted share for the same quarter of the prior year.  

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As described further in Note 12 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, effective January 10, 2022, the Company completed the Reverso Pumps and Separ America acquisitions for a purchase price of $4.2 million, subject to certain customary post-closing adjustments based on working capital.

 

The Company’s credit agreement, dated as of June 1, 2017, by and between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), provides for a revolving credit facility. On March 2, 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to increase availability under the revolving credit facility to $30.0 million from $20.0 million. The amendment to the loan agreement provided additional flexibility to fund acquisitions, working capital and other strategic initiatives. 

 

Total current assets at March 31, 2022 increased to $49.9 million from $42.5 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $7.3 million. The increase in current assets is comprised of the following: an increase of accounts receivable of $5.0 million; an increase in cash of $1.9 million, an increase in inventory of $0.2 million; an increase in contract assets of $0.1 million; and an increase in investments of $0.2 million; partially offset by a decrease in refundable tax assets of $0.2 million. The increase in accounts receivable is driven by the recent acquisitions of Reverso Pumps and Separ America in addition to an increase in new billings in the Commercial Air Handling segment for certain early-stage projects that have achieved billing milestones in advance of certain production milestones per their individual contract terms. Management estimates that these new projects in the Commercial Air Handling segment will be completed in the next 6 to 12 months. The Company is carrying higher cash balances due to expected bulk inventory purchases in the second quarter.

 

Total current liabilities at March 31, 2022 increased to $27.0 million from $23.9 million at December 31, 2021, an increase of $3.1 million.  The increase in current liabilities is primarily driven by the following: an increase in accounts payable of $1.7 million and an increase in unearned revenue of $1.6 million.

 

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $2.0 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $1.5 million in the same period a year ago. Cash provided by operating activities for the current quarter is comprised of the following: net income of $1.1 million; cash provided by adjustments for non-cash items of $1.7 million; and cash used in working capital adjustments of $0.7 million. The primary drivers of decreased working capital during the current quarter were the increase in accounts receivable of $4.5 million and the increase in right of use assets of $0.4 million, partially offset by the decrease in inventories of $1.2 million, the increase in accounts payable of $1.1 million and the increase in deferred revenue of $1.6 million.

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was $4.4 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $7.8 million in the same period a year ago. Cash used in investing activities was for the acquisitions of Reverso Pumps and Separ America in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment and capital expenditures in the normal course of business.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was approximately $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to cash provided by financing activities of $5.0 million in the same period a year ago. Cash provided by financing activities for the current quarter was primarily related to: $4.2 million borrowings on bank debt related to the acquisitions of Reverso Pumps and Separ America.

 

The Company is actively managing its business to maintain cash flow and liquidity. We believe that cash and availability on our revolving credit facility to be sufficient to fund working capital needs and service principal and interest payments due related to the bank debt and notes payable. The Company had $8.3 million available to borrow on the revolving credit facility at March 31, 2022. Notwithstanding the Company's expectations, if the Company's operating results decrease as the result of pressures on the business due to, for example, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, currency fluctuations, regulatory issues, a downturn in general economic conditions, or the Company's failure to execute its business plans, the Company may require additional financing, or may be unable to comply with its obligations under the credit facility, and its lenders could demand repayment of any amounts outstanding under the Company’s credit facility. In addition, see Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

From time to time, the Company enters into performance and payment bonds in the ordinary course of business. These bonds are secured by certain assets of the Company by the surety until the Company’s completion of the requirements of the commercial air handling contract. At March 31, 2022, the Company has secured performance and payment bonds in the amount of $8.2 million as surety on completion of the requirements of certain commercial air handling contracts. The Company has no other off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303 paragraph (a)(4)(ii)) that have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditure or capital resources.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of March 31, 2022, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer along with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022 due to the material weakness described below and discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

 

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In the course of preparing the Company’s financial statements included in the Form 10-K, management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at the Company’s subsidiary CAD Enterprises Inc. (“CAD”):

 

 

CAD did not maintain effective controls over the costing of its work-in-process inventory. Specifically, CAD did not consistently assign, input and record raw material costs and direct labor time with respect to work-in-process jobs. Also, CAD’s accounting systems are not designed to readily determine work-in-process inventory balances or variances between finished goods pricing and manufacturing costs.

 

In addition, management identified the following material weakness in internal control over financial reporting at the Company’s subsidiaries MPI Products, Inc. (“MPI”) and Federal Hose Manufacturing LLC (“Federal Hose”);

 

 

MPI and Federal Hose did not maintain effective controls over the reconciliation of cash. Specifically, MPI and Federal Hose did not perform bank reconciliations on a regular basis.

 

These control deficiencies create a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis, and therefore management concluded that the deficiencies represent a material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting and the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2021.

 

REMEDIATION OF THE MATERIAL WEAKNESSES

 

The Company is in the process of remediating the material weakness in order to strengthen internal controls at CAD, MPI and Federal Hose. The remediation plan includes the following:

 

• Hiring and training additional qualified personnel, including a new controller of CAD and a new controller of MPI and Federal Hose;

 

• Enhancing the timeliness, formality and rigor of CAD’s process for costing work-in-process inventory, including its process for assigning, inputting, recording and reviewing raw material costs and other standard costs;

 

• Enhancing CAD’s training of employees with respect to appropriately and consistently recording direct labor time;

 

• Implementing a new accounting system at CAD that has certain built-in internal controls; and

 

• Enhancing the training of financial personnel at MPI and Federal Hose, and the timeliness, formality and rigor of processes at MPI and Federal Hose with respect to regular reconciliation of cash accounts with bank statements.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13-a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting except for the remediation efforts with regard to the material weaknesses described above.
