Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1) Description of the Company

Unless otherwise specified, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Art’s-Way,” and the “Company” refer to Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in 1956. Since that time, it has become a major worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Its principal manufacturing plant is located in Armstrong, Iowa.

The Company has organized its business into three operating segments. Management separately evaluates the financial results of each segment because each is a strategic business unit offering different products and requiring different technology and marketing strategies. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art’s-Way Manufacturing label and private labels. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for animal containment and various laboratory uses, and the Tools segment manufactures steel cutting tools and inserts.

2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Statement Presentation

The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2019. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending November 30, 2020.

Impact of COVID-19

While the COVID-19 pandemic had very little impact on the Company’s results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, it did impact results of operations for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020 and it is possible that it may continue to do so for the foreseeable future. From March 23, 2020 until May 18, 2020 the majority of the Company’s office staff in all three segments worked remotely with the exception of key operations support. At the height of the initial outbreak the Company’s workforce was down approximately 17% due to self-quarantine. By the end of May 2020, the Company’s entire workforce had returned and operations have continued as normal with additional safety precautions in place. The Company continues to actively monitor the impact that COVID-19 pandemic has on  operations, liquidity and capital resources in the coming months.

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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation specified in each contract. The major sources of revenue for the Agricultural Products and Tools segments are farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments generally execute short-term contracts that contain a single performance obligation – the delivery of product to the common carrier. The Company recognizes revenue for the production and sale of farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts upon shipment of the goods. Shipment of the goods is the point in time when risk of ownership and title pass to the buyer. All sales are made to authorized dealers whose application for dealer status has been approved and who have been informed of general sales policies. Any changes in the Company’s terms are documented in the most recently published price lists. Pricing is fixed and determinable according to the Company’s published equipment and parts price lists. Title to all equipment and parts sold passes to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier and is not subject to a customer acceptance provision. Proof of the passing of title is documented by the signing of the delivery receipt by a representative of the carrier. Post shipment obligations are limited to any claim with respect to the condition of the equipment or parts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments each typically require payment in full 30 days after the ship date. To take advantage of program discounts, some customers pay deposits up front. Any deposits received are considered unearned revenue and increase contract liabilities.

5

In certain circumstances, upon the customer’s written request, the Company may recognize revenue when production is complete and the goods are ready for shipment. At the buyer’s request, the Company will bill the buyer upon completing all performance obligations, but before shipment. The buyer dictates that the Company ship the goods per its direction from the Company’s manufacturing facility, as is customary with this type of agreement, in order to minimize shipping costs. The written agreement with the customer specifies that the goods will be delivered on a schedule to be determined by the customer, with a final specified delivery date, and that the Company will segregate the goods from its inventory, such that they are not available to fill other orders. This agreement also specifies that the buyer is required to purchase all goods manufactured under this agreement. Title of the goods will pass to the buyer when the goods are complete and ready for shipment, per the customer agreement. At the transfer of title, all risks of ownership have passed to the buyer, and the buyer agrees to maintain insurance on the manufactured items that have not yet been shipped. The Company has operated using bill and hold agreements with certain customers for many years, with consistent satisfactory results for both buyer and seller. The credit terms on this agreement are consistent with the credit terms on all other sales. All risks of loss are shouldered by the buyer, and there are no exceptions to the buyer’s commitment to accept and pay for these manufactured goods.

The Modular Buildings segment is in the construction industry with its major source of revenue arising from modular building sales. Sales of modular buildings are generally recognized using input methods to measure progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation using the percentage of completion method. Revenue and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor, materials, amounts payable to subcontractors and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as equipment costs, insurance and employee benefits. Contract cost is recorded as incurred, and revisions in contract revenues and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Contract losses are recognized when current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss. Estimated contract costs include any and all costs appropriately allocable to the contract. The provision for these contract losses will be the excess of estimated contract costs over estimated contract revenues. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those changes arising from contract change orders, penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The Company uses significant judgements in determining estimated contract costs and completion percentages throughout the life of the project. Stock modular building sales also occur and are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is fulfilled through substantial completion. Substantial completion is achieved through customer acceptance of the completed building. The Modular Buildings segment executes contracts with customers that can be short- or long-term in nature. These contracts can have multiple performance obligations and revenue from these can be recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the contracts. Payment terms for the Modular Buildings segment vary by contract, but typically utilize money down and progress payments throughout the life of the contract. The payment terms of the Modular Buildings segment have the most impact on the Company’s contract receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities. Project invoicing from the Modular Buildings segment increases contract receivables and has an effect on contract liabilities through billings in excess of costs and estimated gross profit and advanced payments. The balance of contract assets is typically made up of the balance of costs and estimated gross profit in excess of billings. Costs and profit in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets and billings in excess of cost and profit are classified as current liabilities.

6

The Company leases modular buildings to certain customers and accounts for these transactions as operating or sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to 36 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. On sales-type leases, the lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the building is substantially complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company’s obligation to the lessee. On operating leases, the Company recognizes rent when the lessee has all the rights and benefits of ownership of the asset.

The Agricultural Products segment offers variable consideration in the form of discounts depending on participation in yearly early order programs. This variable consideration is allocated to the transaction price of all products in a sales arrangement and is not contingent on future outcomes. The Agricultural Products segment does not offer rebates or credits. The Tools segment offers quantity discounts that are allocated to the transaction price of each product once the quantity break is achieved. The Tools segment does not offer rebates or credits. The Modular Buildings segment does not offer discounts, rebates or credits.

The Company’s returns policy allows for new and saleable parts to be returned, subject to inspection and a restocking charge, which is included in net sales. Whole goods are not returnable. Shipping costs charged to customers are included in net sales. Freight costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold. Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash, for revenue to be recognized in the following year.

For information on product warranty as it applies to ASC 606, refer to Note 9 “Product Warranty.”

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Leases

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of 12 months or greater. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this guidance for fiscal 2020 using the modified retrospective approach, including interim periods within that reporting period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company did not adjust prior comparative periods. The Company has a moderate amount of leasing activity mainly as the lessee of office equipment and as the lessor of modular buildings. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized $34,316 as a right-of-use asset and $34,316 of lease liabilities on the balance sheet for office equipment it leases. The Company’s activity as a lessor will remain mostly unaffected by this guidance. The Company’s additional disclosures may include, but are not limited to:

● Nature of its leases

● Significant assumptions and judgements used

● Information about leases that have not yet commenced

● Related-party lease transactions

● Accounting policy election regarding short-term leases

● Finance, operating, short-term and variable lease costs

● Maturity analysis of operating lease payments, lease receivables and lease obligations

● Tabular disclosure of lease-related income

● Components of the net investment in a lease

● Information on the management of risk associated with residual asset

3) Disaggregation of Revenue

The following table displays revenue by reportable segment from external customers, disaggregated by major source. The Company believes disaggregating by these categories depicts how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

4) Contract Receivables, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The following table provides information about gross contract receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	August 31, 2020		November 30, 2019
Receivables	$	1,766,000	$	1,703,000
Assets	$	122,000	$	727,000
Liabilities	$	454,000	$	89,000

The amount of revenue recognized in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 that was included in a contract liability at November 30, 2019 was approximately $89,000 compared to $185,000 in the same period of fiscal 2019. The significant change in contract receivables reflected above is due to progress billings from open contracts in the Modular Buildings segment. Contract assets are down significantly from November 30, 2019 as billings caught up to costs in the Modular Buildings segment over the course of the nine months. There are also a few contracts in the Modular Buildings segment that are currently overbilled, creating an increase in contract liabilities at August 31, 2020 compared to November 30, 2019.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient exception for reporting performance obligations and will report only on performance obligations greater than one year. As of August 31, 2020, the Company had no performance obligations with an original expected duration greater than one year.

5) Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

Basic net income (loss) per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per share of common stock has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus equivalent shares assuming the exercise of stock options. Potential shares of common stock that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share.

9) Product Warranty

The Company offers warranties of various lengths to its customers depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The average length of the warranty period is one year from the date of purchase. The Company’s warranties require it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at no cost to the customer. Product warranty is included in the price of the product and provides assurance that the product will function in accordance with agreed-upon specifications. It does not represent a separate performance obligation under ASC 606. The Company records a liability for estimated costs that may be incurred under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience and any specific warranty issues that have been identified. Although historical warranty costs have been within expectations, there can be no assurance that future warranty costs will not exceed historical amounts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the balance as necessary. The accrued warranty balance is included in accrued expenses as shown in Note 7 “Accrued Expenses.” Changes in the Company’s product warranty liability for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019 are as follows:

10) Loan and Credit Agreements

The Company maintains two revolving lines of credit and two term loans with Bank Midwest. The Company also previously maintained a term loan with The First National Bank of West Union.

Bank Midwest Revolving Lines of Credit and Term Loans

The Company maintains a credit facility with Bank Midwest consisting of a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “2017 Line of Credit”), and a $2,600,000 term loan due October 1, 2037 (the “Term Loan”). On August 31, 2020, the balance of the 2017 Line of Credit was $1,767,530 with $3,232,470 remaining available, as may be limited by the borrowing base calculation. The 2017 Line of Credit borrowing base is an amount equal to 75% of accounts receivable balances (discounted for aged receivables), plus 50% of inventory, less any outstanding loan balance on the 2017 Line of Credit. At August 31, 2020, the 2017 Line of Credit was not limited by the borrowing base calculation. Any unpaid principal amount borrowed on the 2017 Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.00% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.25% per annum and the current interest rate is 4.25% per annum. The 2017 Line of Credit was most recently renewed on March 30, 2020. The 2017 Line of Credit matures on March 30, 2021 and requires monthly interest-only payments.

The Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of 5.00% for the first sixty months. Thereafter, the Term Loan will accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 0.75% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.15% per annum and the interest rate may only be adjusted by Bank Midwest once every five years. Monthly payments of $17,271 for principal and interest are required. The Term Loan is also guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), which required an upfront guarantee fee of $62,400 and requires an annual fee of 0.5% of the unpaid balance. As part of the USDA guarantee requirements, shareholders owning more than 20% are required to personally guarantee a portion of the Term Loan, in an amount equal to their stock ownership percentage. J. Ward McConnell Jr., the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and a shareholder owning more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding stock, is guaranteeing approximately 38% of the Term Loan, for an annual fee of 2% of the personally guaranteed amount. The initial guarantee fee will be amortized over the life of the Term Loan, and the annual fees and personally guaranteed amounts are expensed monthly.

12

On February 13, 2019, the Company opened a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit (the “2019 Line of Credit”) with Bank Midwest in connection with bonding obligations for the Company’s performance of a large modular laboratory construction project. Funds under the 2019 Line of Credit will be undisbursed to the Company and will be held by Bank Midwest in connection with an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by Bank Midwest for the project. The 2019 Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1.00% above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at 4.25% per annum and the current interest rate is 4.25% per annum. The 2019 Line of Credit was recently renewed on February 13, 2020. The 2019 Line of Credit is payable upon demand by Bank Midwest. If no earlier demand is made, the unpaid principal and accrued interest will be payable in one payment, due on February 13, 2021. As of August 31, 2020, the funds on the 2019 Line of Credit remain undisbursed and are held by Bank Midwest.

On April 20, 2020, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $1,242,900 from Bank Midwest in connection with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). A portion of the PPP Loan may be forgiven based on the Company’s use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program. If the PPP Loan is not fully forgiven, the Company will remain liable for the full and punctual payment of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company expects all or a significant portion of the PPP loan to be forgiven. The PPP Loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.00%, the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest is due on April 20, 2022. The PPP Loan is unsecured. The PPP Loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

Each of the 2017 Line of Credit and the Term Loan are governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated September 28, 2017, entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest. The 2019 Line of Credit is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated February 13, 2019, entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest. The PPP Loan is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated April 20, 2020, entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest.

In connection with the 2017 Line of Credit, the Company, Art’s-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art’s-Way Inc. each entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with Bank Midwest, dated September 28, 2017, pursuant to which each granted to Bank Midwest a first priority security interest in certain inventory, equipment, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and other assets to secure the obligations of the Company under the line of credit. Each of Art’s-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art’s-Way Inc. also agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company pursuant to the 2017 Line of Credit, as set forth in Commercial Guaranties, each dated September 28, 2017. The 2019 Line of Credit is also secured by these existing security documents.

To further secure the 2017 Line of Credit, the Company granted Bank Midwest a mortgage on its Canton, Ohio property held by Ohio Metal Working Products/Art’s-Way Inc. The 2019 Line of Credit is also secured by the mortgage on the Canton, Ohio property. The Term Loan is secured by a mortgage on the Company’s Armstrong, Iowa and Monona, Iowa properties. Each mortgage is governed by the terms of a separate Mortgage, dated September 28, 2017, and each property is also subject to a separate Assignment of Rents, dated September 28, 2017.

13

If the Company or its subsidiaries (as guarantors pursuant to the Commercial Guaranties) commits an event of default with respect to the promissory notes and fails or is unable to cure that default, Bank Midwest may immediately terminate its obligation, if any, to make additional loans to the Company and may accelerate the Company’s obligations under the promissory notes. Bank Midwest shall also have all other rights and remedies for default provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as any other applicable law and the various loan agreements. In addition, in an event of default, Bank Midwest may foreclose on the mortgaged property.

Compliance with Bank Midwest covenants is measured annually at November 30. The terms of the Bank Midwest loan agreements require the Company to maintain a minimum working capital ratio of 1.75, while maintaining a minimum of $5,100,000 of working capital. Additionally, a maximum debt to worth ratio of 1 to 1 must be maintained, with a minimum of 40% tangible balance sheet equity, with variations subject to mutual agreement. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.25, with a 0.10 tolerance. The Company also must receive bank approval for purchases or sales of equipment over $100,000 annually and maintain reasonable salaries and owner compensation. The Company received the necessary approvals for purchases of equipment over $100,000 for the nine months ended August 31, 2020. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of November 30, 2019 other than the debt service coverage ratio. Bank Midwest issued a waiver forgiving the noncompliance, and no event of default has occurred. The next measurement date is November 30, 2020.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans

On June 18, 2020, and again on June 24, 2020 the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing loans offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business. Two loans were executed on June 18, 2020 with principal amounts of $150,000 each, with a third loan being executed on June 24, 2020 with a principal amount of $150,000. Proceeds from these EIDLs are being used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of 3.75% per annum and will accrue from the date of inception. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning June 18, 2021 (twelve months from the date of the EIDLs) and June 24, 2021 in the amount of $731 per EIDL. The balance of principal and interest is payable 30 years from the date of the EIDL. The EIDLs are secured by a security interest on all of the Company’s assets. Each EIDL is governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated either June 18, 2020 or June 24, 2020, as applicable, entered into between the Company or the applicable subsidiary.

First National Bank of West Union Term Loan

On May 1, 2010, the Company obtained a $1,300,000 loan to finance the purchase of an additional facility located in West Union, Iowa to be used as a distribution center, warehouse facility, and manufacturing plant for certain products under the Art’s-Way brand. The loan was secured by a mortgage on the Company’s West Union Facility, pursuant to a Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Fixture Financing Statement dated May 1, 2010 between the Company and The First National Bank of West Union.

On December 14, 2018, the Company repaid this loan in full in connection with the sale of the West Union, Iowa facility.

12) Related Party Transactions

During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and August 31, 2019, the Company did not recognize any revenues from transactions with a related party, and no amounts in accounts receivable balances were due from a related party. From time to time, the Company purchases various supplies from related parties, which are companies owned by J. Ward McConnell, Jr., the Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors. Marc McConnell, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, also serves as President of these companies. J. Ward McConnell, Jr., as a shareholder owning more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding stock, was required to guarantee a portion of the Company’s Term Loan in accordance with the USDA guarantee on the Company’s Term Loan. J. Ward McConnell, Jr. is paid a monthly fee for his guarantee.

15

13) Sales-Type Leases

The Company accounts for leases of modular buildings to certain customers as sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to 36 months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. The lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the Company’s obligation to the lessee is complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company’s obligation to the lessee.

Modular buildings held for lease by the Modular Buildings segment are recorded at cost. Amortization of each modular building is calculated over the useful life of the building. Estimated useful life is three to five years. Lease revenue is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease agreement. Lease income for modular buildings is included in sales on the consolidated statements of operations.

The components related to sales-type leases at August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019 are as follows:

	August 31, 2020			November 30, 2019
Minimum lease receivable, current	$	49,352		$	162,425
Unearned interest income, current		(1,498	)		(14,420	)
Net investment in sales-type leases, current	$	47,854		$	148,005
Minimum lease receivable, long-term	$	-		$	5,851
Unearned interest income, long-term		-			(69	)
Net investment in sales-type leases, long-term	$	-		$	5,782

There was no sales activity related to sales-type leases for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 and August 31,2019.

Future minimum lease receipts from sales-type leases are as follows:

Year Ending November 30,	Amount
2020		43,500
2021		5,852
Total	$	49,352

14) Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. The nature of the Company’s operating leases at this time is office equipment, mainly copiers, with terms of 12 to 60 months. Operating leases are included in other assets as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets while current lease liabilities are included as accrued expenses. The long-term portions of operating lease liabilities are shown as long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

16

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value payments over the lease term. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has copier lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected the practical expedient not to separate lease and non-lease components for this asset class. The Company has also elected not to recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for short-term leases. The Company recognizes variable costs that depend on usage in profit or loss as they are incurred.

The components of operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at August 31, 2020 were as follows:

	August 31, 2020
Operating lease right-of-use assets	$	30,182
Current portion of operating lease liabilities	$	9,406
Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities		20,776
Total operating lease liabilities	$	30,182

The Company included $30,182 of operating lease ROU assets in other assets, the current portion of operating lease liabilities of $9,406 was included in accrued expenses and the $20,776 of long-term operating lease liabilities was included in the long-term liability portion of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company recorded $4,208 and $17,840 of operating lease costs in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, which included variable costs tied to usage. The Company’s operating leases carry a weighted average lease term of 37 months and have a weighted average discount rate of 5.50%

Future maturities of operating lease liabilities are as follows:

Year Ending November 30,
2020	2,712
2021	10,847
2022	10,847
2023	6,911
2024	1,631
Total lease payments	32,948
Less imputed interest	(2,766	)
Total operating lease liabilities	30,182

15) Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Based Compensation

On February 25, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized and approved the Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”).  The 2020 Plan was approved by the stockholders on April 30, 2020. The 2020 Plan replaces the Art’s-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) and adds an additional 500,000 shares to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards. No further stock options will be awarded under the 2011 Plan or other prior plans. Awards to directors and executive officers under the 2020 Plan are governed by the forms of agreement approved by the Board of Directors. Stock options granted prior to February 25, 2020 are governed by the applicable prior plan and the forms of agreement adopted thereunder.

The 2020 Plan permits the plan administrator to award nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees (including officers), directors, and consultants. The Board has approved a director compensation policy pursuant to which non-employee directors are automatically granted restricted stock awards of 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock annually or initially upon their election to the Board and another 1,000 shares of fully vested common stock on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. During the nine months ended August 31, 2020, restricted stock awards of 128,750 shares were issued to various employees, directors, and consultants, which vest over the next three years, and restricted stock awards of 20,000 shares were issued to directors as part of the director compensation policy, which vested immediately upon grant. In comparison, during the first nine months of fiscal 2019, restricted stock awards of 72,437 shares were issued to various employees, directors, and consultants, which vest over three years from the date of issuance, and restricted stock awards of 21,000 were issued to directors as part of the director compensation policy. During the first nine months of fiscal 2020, 4,833 shares of restricted stock were forfeited upon departure of employees compared to 2,400 shares of restricted stock forfeited during the same period of fiscal 2019.

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based option award on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses historical option exercise and termination data to estimate the expected term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the option issuance date. No stock options were granted during the nine months ended August 31, 2020 or in the same respective period of fiscal 2019. The Company incurred a total of $42,910 and $195,662 of stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $40,601 and $160,045 of stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards for the same respective periods of fiscal 2019. The Company repurchased 0 and 14,471 shares from employees in the form of treasury stock as consideration for payroll taxes paid on the employee’s behalf for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 0 and 8,589 shares repurchased for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019. Stock compensation net of treasury shares repurchased for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was $169,126 compared to $142,647 for the same period in fiscal 2019.

16) Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At August 31, 2020 and November 30, 2019, the carrying amount approximated fair value for cash, accounts receivable, net investment in sales-type leases, accounts payable, notes payable to bank, and other current and long-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the net investment in sales-type leases also approximates recorded value as that is based on discounting future cash flows at rates implicit in the lease. The rates implicit in the lease do not materially differ from current market rates. The fair value of the Company’s term loans payable also approximates recorded value because the interest rates charged under the loan terms are not substantially different from current interest rates.

Results of Operations

Net Sales and Cost of Sales

Our consolidated corporate sales for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020 were $6,465,000 and $16,937,000, respectively, compared to $5,504,000 and $15,375,000 during the same respective periods in fiscal 2019, a $961,000, or a 17.5%, increase for the three months and a $1,562,000, or 10.2%, increase for the nine months. The three-month increase in sales is due to increased sales from our agricultural products and modular building segments while our tools segment showed a decrease in sales for this period. All three segments showed increased sales for the nine months ended August 31, 2020. Consolidated gross margin for the three-month period ended August 31, 2020 was 14.3% compared to 18.3% for the same period in fiscal 2019. Consolidated gross margin for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2020 was 17.1% compared to 16.7% for the same period in fiscal 2019. The decreased margin for the three months ended August 31, 2020 was due to lower gross margin in the modular buildings and tools segments, as discussed below. The increased margin for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 is due primarily to operational improvements in the agricultural products segment.

Our third quarter sales in the agricultural products segment were $3,671,000 compared to $3,194,000 during the same period of fiscal 2019, an increase of $477,000, or 14.9%. Our year-to-date agricultural product sales were $9,695,000 compared to $9,441,000 during the same period in fiscal 2019, an increase of $254,000, or 2.7%. At the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2020, our sales were up 13.1% in the agricultural products segment from the prior year. We were on track for a strong year and then the COVID-19 pandemic hit, which decreased our sales 15.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2019. Our third quarter provided another strong sales showing with an increase of 14.9% over the third quarter of fiscal 2019. We attribute the increased sales success to gained market share for our dump box product line and improved design of our manure spreader line. The addition of key employees to our sales and marketing team over the past year has also contributed to our recent sales success. Gross margin for our agricultural products segment for the three-month period ended August 31, 2020 was 21.5% compared to 15.7% for the same period in fiscal 2019. Gross margin for our agricultural products segment for the nine-month period ended August 31, 2020 was 21.3% compared to 15.7% for the same period in fiscal 2019. Our increased gross margin in fiscal 2020 reflects continuous improvement initiatives enacted in fiscal 2019 that have increased our workforce efficiency. Another contributing factor was our ability to increase our standard gross profit margin by 5% through price increases, strategic product offerings and product eliminations.

Our third quarter sales in the modular buildings segment were $2,319,000 compared to $1,802,000 for the same period in fiscal 2019, an increase of $517,000, or 28.7%. Our year-to-date sales in our modular buildings segment were $5,575,000 compared to $4,382,000 for the same period in fiscal 2019, an increase of $1,193,000, or 27.2%. The increase for the quarter and the year is largely due to progress on a sizeable research laboratory contract. Gross margin for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020 was 2.4% and 8.6%, respectively, compared to 20.0% and 14.7% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019. The decreased gross margin was in part expected due to a lower initial profit margin on the sizeable research laboratory job but has also been amplified with unexpected costs to finish the project on site.

22

Our tools segment had sales of $475,000 and $1,667,000 during the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $508,000 and $1,552,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019, a 6.5% decrease and a 7.4% increase, respectively. The decrease for the quarter is due a slowdown of our oil and gas industry and pipe tool business related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not seen signs of recovery yet in these industries. The increase year to date is due to the addition of a large volume OEM customer that was added to our product offering in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. This customer has offered us stability to counteract the unpredictability of oil and gas industry demands. Gross margin was 17.1% and 21.1% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 28.0% and 28.4% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019. Our decreased gross margin is due to the addition of labor and overhead as we continue to fully integrate our OEM customer’s product line into our manufacturing facility.

Expenses 

Our third quarter consolidated selling expenses were $370,000 compared to $379,000 for the same period in fiscal 2019. Our year-to-date selling expenses were $1,227,000 in fiscal 2020 compared to $1,119,000 for the same period in fiscal 2019. The agriculture products segment showed an increase in selling expenses due to the addition of a territory development manager and an inside sales representative and increased commissions as sales increased in our represented territories. We did show a decrease in selling expenses in our tools segment as we paid no commissions on our OEM agreement and a decrease in our modular buildings segment as we had less travel and trade show attendance due to COVID-19. Selling expenses as a percentage of sales were 5.7% and 7.3% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 6.9% and 7.3% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019.

Consolidated engineering expenses were $129,000 and $361,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to $116,000 and $380,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019. The decrease in engineering expenses for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was due to lower research and development costs from our agricultural products segment as we shifted our engineering department focus to improve internal processes and reduce costs of our products. We also shifted an engineer to a welding position in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 to lower our indirect labor costs and fill a needed production position. Engineering expenses as a percentage of sales were 2.0% and 2.1% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 2.1% and 2.5% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019.

Consolidated administrative expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020 were $939,000 and $3,216,000, respectively, compared to $815,000 and $2,466,000 for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019. The mostly non-recurring increase in administrative expense is due to approximately $133,000 of recruitment expense for management recruitment, dual management salaries of approximately $68,000 as we transitioned our Chief Executive Officer and director of materials positions, approximately $54,000 for the implementation of our OEM customer’s product line in the tools segment, and additional expense of $280,000 that includes stock granted to new management staff, payout of employment agreements and bonus accruals for incentives offered by the Compensation Committee of the Board for fiscal 2020 targets. We also had $197,000 of pandemic-related expense related to employment rewards for keeping our operations running safely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were 14.5% and 19.0% for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 31, 2020, respectively, compared to 14.8% and 16.0% for the same respective periods in fiscal 2019.

Net Loss

Consolidated net loss was $(424,000) for the three-month period ended August 31, 2020 compared to net loss of $(289,000) for the same period in fiscal 2019. Our consolidated net loss for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was $(1,663,000) compared to $(1,251,000). Despite the increased net loss for the three and nine months we did show substantial operational improvement. Our sales were up for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020 in all three of our segments. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was up 5.8% and 5.6% for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2020, respectively, in our largest segment, agricultural products. We were heavy on administrative expenses related to finding and training new management staff, implementing an OEM product line and properly rewarding our employees for their continued service during the pandemic as our segments operate as essential businesses. Without these additional non-recurring administrative expenses, we would have shown significant bottom line improvement for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 compared to the same period of fiscal 2019.

CEO Transition

As previously announced, David King took over for Carrie Gunnerson as Chief Executive Officer in the third fiscal quarter of 2020. Carrie Gunnerson’s final day was July 21, 2020. Mr. King previously served as Executive Vice President since March 30, 2020. Mr. King brings 25 years of agriculture industry experience in operations, marketing and business development. We look forward to Mr. King bringing Art’s Way new strategic business opportunities and providing a revitalized brand image.

Order Backlog

The consolidated order backlog net of discounts as of October 6, 2020 was $3,539,000 compared to $7,561,000 as of October 6, 2019. The agricultural products segment order backlog was $1,081,000 as of October 6, 2020 compared to $1,174,000 in fiscal 2019. The slight decrease in backlog from the agricultural products segment is due to our early order program kicking off later in 2020 than in 2019. The backlog for the modular buildings segment was $2,129,000 as of October 6, 2020, compared to $6,174,000 in fiscal 2019.  The decrease is due to progress made on a large construction contract that is not part of our typical year. Excluding this project from backlog, our backlog is down $369,000 compared to fiscal 2019. The backlog for the tools segment was $328,000 as of October 6, 2020 compared to $213,000 in fiscal 2019. The increase in backlog for our tools segment is due largely to an increase in order volume from a new OEM customer. Our order backlog is not necessarily indicative of future revenue to be generated from such orders due to the possibility of order cancellations and dealer discount arrangements we may enter into from time to time.

Impact of COVID-19

While the COVID-19 pandemic had very little impact on our results of operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2020, it did impact our results of operations for the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020 and we believe that it may continue to do so for the foreseeable future. From March 23, 2020 until May 18, 2020 the majority of our office staff in all three segments worked remotely with the exception of key operations support. At the height of the initial outbreak our workforce was down approximately 17% due to self-quarantine. By the end of May 2020 our entire workforce had returned and operations have continued as normal with additional safety precautions in place. 

24

In our agricultural products segment, we did not experience any order cancellations, however, calls for new whole goods slowed significantly in the second quarter and many dealers held off on the shipping or pickup of their completed units. While the third quarter concluded with a 14.9% increase in sales compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019, resulting in a year-to-date increase of 2.7%, we  are currently 10% shy of our projected sales for fiscal 2020. As farmers continue to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on their operations, including future purchases of our equipment, we may yet see an impact on order volume as fiscal 2020 continues.

Our modular buildings segment started the year with a more diverse backlog than we had a year ago; however, we have had some setbacks on site work as subcontractors have been forced to quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19. Our workers have been hesitant to travel during the pandemic and, as a result, we had a large amount of buildings that were complete and ready to be placed on site as of the beginning of the third quarter. However, during the third quarter, we were successful in keeping our site work moving forward. At the start of the fourth quarter our order backlog was lower than expected, due to COVID-19, but we have recently seen an increase in order activity.

In our tools segment, oil prices dropped significantly at the start of the pandemic, which caused our sales to drop significantly in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. The diversification of our business with our new OEM customer helped us get through the oil and gas industry lows during that time, however, since oil and gas prices have not yet reached their pre-pandemic levels, we have not seen our sales levels from these customers return.

At this time, while we are short of our pre-pandemic expectations, we believe the worst of the economic hardship has passed for us. We have built and improved our business over the last few years to help us better weather any economic storms that come our way.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary source of funds for the nine months ended August 31, 2020 was cash generated by financing activities, which includes the receipt of a Paycheck Protection Program loan and three Economic Injury Disaster Loans. We expect that all or a significant portion of the Paycheck Protection Program loan will be forgiven. Our contracts in progress also provided a significant amount of cash for the first nine months of fiscal 2020, but we do expect these contracts to consume cash in Q4 of fiscal 2020 as we bring them to completion. Our operating activities cash flowed quite well despite the net loss for the year, only consuming $362,000 of cash during the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The most significant use of operating cash was related to the increase of inventory in our modular buildings and tools segments. We also consumed a significant amount of cash investing in property, plant, and equipment to improve our business operations and used cash to reduce the balance of our operating line of credit. We expect our primary capital needs for the remainder of fiscal 2020 to relate to operating costs, primarily production costs and contract fulfilment, and the retirement of debt.

We have a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Bank Midwest that, as of August 31, 2020, had an outstanding principal balance of $1,767,530. The line of credit is scheduled to mature on March 30, 2021.

25

We believe our current financing arrangements will provide sufficient cash to finance operations and pay debt when due during the next twelve months. We expect to continue to be able to procure financing upon reasonable terms and have had discussions with Bank Midwest about obtaining additional financing should the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic further impact our ability to operate.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to provide disclosure pursuant to this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The persons serving as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period subject to this report. Based on this evaluation, the persons serving as our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of August 31, 2020, due to the material weakness described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness discussed below, our management has concluded that the consolidated financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Remediation of Material Weakness

Management previously identified that a material weakness existed as of November 30, 2019 related to the estimation of completed subcontract work on modular building contracts. Management recognizes that estimates are a necessary part of financial reporting; however, proper controls did not exist to review the accuracy of these estimates at the time of the transactions. Because we recorded an adjustment to the financial statements, this control deficiency did not result in a material misstatement of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2019.

Management implemented new internal controls in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 to remediate this material weakness. All receiving transactions are reviewed and signed off on by the receiving clerk and general manager for accuracy and completeness on a monthly basis. Any subcontract work received over $75,000 requires approval signatures from the Chief Financial Officer and general manager. These controls will help prevent and detect material misstatements that could otherwise results from the estimation of subcontract work. These new internal controls are subject to continued management review supported by testing, as well as oversight by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Since internal control testing has yet to be performed for 2020, we are unable to determine at this time that the material weakness has been fully remediated. We will continue to assess these new internal controls and work to remediate our material weakness.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the steps taken to remediate the material weakness discussed above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Nature of Operations [Text Block]

1 ) Description of the Company

Unless otherwise specified, as used in this Quarterly Report on Form

10

-Q, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “Art's-Way,” and the “Company” refer to Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation headquartered in Armstrong, Iowa, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company began operations as a farm equipment manufacturer in

1956.

Since that time, it has become a major worldwide manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Its principal manufacturing plant is located in Armstrong, Iowa.

The Company has organized its business into

three

operating segments. Management separately evaluates the financial results of each segment because each is a strategic business unit offering different products and requiring different technology and marketing strategies. The Agricultural Products segment manufactures and sells farm equipment and related replacement parts under the Art's-Way Manufacturing label and private labels. The Modular Buildings segment manufactures and installs modular buildings for animal containment and various laboratory uses, and the Tools segment manufactures steel cutting tools and inserts.

2 ) Summary of Significant Account ing Policies

Statement Presentation

The foregoing condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and operating results for the interim periods. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form

10

-K for the fiscal year ended

November 30, 2019.

The results of operations for the

three

and

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020

are

not

necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending

November 30, 2020.

Impact of COVID-

19

While the COVID-

19

pandemic had very little impact on the Company's results of operations for the

first

quarter of fiscal

2020,

it did impact results of operations for the

second

and

third

quarters of fiscal

2020

and it is possible that it

may

continue to do so for the foreseeable future. From

March 23, 2020

until

May 18, 2020

the majority of the Company's office staff in all

three

segments worked remotely with the exception of key operations support. At the height of the initial outbreak the Company's workforce was down approximately

17%

due to self-quarantine. By the end of

May 2020,

the Company's entire workforce had returned and operations have continued as normal with additional safety precautions in place. The Company continues to actively monitor the impact that COVID-

19

pandemic has on  operations, liquidity and capital resources in the coming months.

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 and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the

three

and

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020.

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC

606,

revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation specified in each contract. The major sources of revenue for the Agricultural Products and Tools segments are farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments generally execute short-term contracts that contain a single performance obligation – the delivery of product to the common carrier. The Company recognizes revenue for the production and sale of farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts upon shipment of the goods. Shipment of the goods is the point in time when risk of ownership and title pass to the buyer. All sales are made to authorized dealers whose application for dealer status has been approved and who have been informed of general sales policies. Any changes in the Company's terms are documented in the most recently published price lists. Pricing is fixed and determinable according to the Company's published equipment and parts price lists. Title to all equipment and parts sold passes to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier and is

not

subject to a customer acceptance provision. Proof of the passing of title is documented by the signing of the delivery receipt by a representative of the carrier. Post shipment obligations are limited to any claim with respect to the condition of the equipment or parts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments each typically require payment in full

30

days after the ship date. To take advantage of program discounts, some customers pay deposits up front. Any deposits received are considered unearned revenue and increase contract liabilities.

In certain circumstances, upon the customer's written request, the Company

may

recognize revenue when production is complete and the goods are ready for shipment. At the buyer's request, the Company will bill the buyer upon completing all performance obligations, but before shipment. The buyer dictates that the Company ship the goods per its direction from the Company's manufacturing facility, as is customary with this type of agreement, in order to minimize shipping costs. The written agreement with the customer specifies that the goods will be delivered on a schedule to be determined by the customer, with a final specified delivery date, and that the Company will segregate the goods from its inventory, such that they are

not

available to fill other orders. This agreement also specifies that the buyer is required to purchase all goods manufactured under this agreement. Title of the goods will pass to the buyer when the goods are complete and ready for shipment, per the customer agreement. At the transfer of title, all risks of ownership have passed to the buyer, and the buyer agrees to maintain insurance on the manufactured items that have

not

yet been shipped. The Company has operated using bill and hold agreements with certain customers for many years, with consistent satisfactory results for both buyer and seller. The credit terms on this agreement are consistent with the credit terms on all other sales. All risks of loss are shouldered by the buyer, and there are

no

exceptions to the buyer's commitment to accept and pay for these manufactured goods.

The Modular Buildings segment is in the construction industry with its major source of revenue arising from modular building sales. Sales of modular buildings are generally recognized using input methods to measure progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation using the percentage of completion method. Revenue and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor, materials, amounts payable to subcontractors and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as equipment costs, insurance and employee benefits. Contract cost is recorded as incurred, and revisions in contract revenues and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Contract losses are recognized when current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss. Estimated contract costs include any and all costs appropriately allocable to the contract. The provision for these contract losses will be the excess of estimated contract costs over estimated contract revenues. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those changes arising from contract change orders, penalty provisions and final contract settlements

may

result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The Company uses significant judgements in determining estimated contract costs and completion percentages throughout the life of the project. Stock modular building sales also occur and are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is fulfilled through substantial completion. Substantial completion is achieved through customer acceptance of the completed building. The Modular Buildings segment executes contracts with customers that can be short- or long-term in nature. These contracts can have multiple performance obligations and revenue from these can be recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the contracts. Payment terms for the Modular Buildings segment vary by contract, but typically utilize money down and progress payments throughout the life of the contract. The payment terms of the Modular Buildings segment have the most impact on the Company's contract receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities. Project invoicing from the Modular Buildings segment increases contract receivables and has an effect on contract liabilities through billings in excess of costs and estimated gross profit and advanced payments. The balance of contract assets is typically made up of the balance of costs and estimated gross profit in excess of billings. Costs and profit in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets and billings in excess of cost and profit are classified as current liabilities.

The Company leases modular buildings to certain customers and accounts for these transactions as operating or sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to

36

months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. On sales-type leases, the lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the building is substantially complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company's obligation to the lessee. On operating leases, the Company recognizes rent when the lessee has all the rights and benefits of ownership of the asset.

The Agricultural Products segment offers variable consideration in the form of discounts depending on participation in yearly early order programs. This variable consideration is allocated to the transaction price of all products in a sales arrangement and is

not

contingent on future outcomes. The Agricultural Products segment does

not

offer rebates or credits. The Tools segment offers quantity discounts that are allocated to the transaction price of each product once the quantity break is achieved. The Tools segment does

not

offer rebates or credits. The Modular Buildings segment does

not

offer discounts, rebates or credits.

The Company's returns policy allows for new and saleable parts to be returned, subject to inspection and a restocking charge, which is included in net sales. Whole goods are

not

returnable. Shipping costs charged to customers are included in net sales. Freight costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold. Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash, for revenue to be recognized in the following year.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Leases

In

February 2016,

the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU

2016

-

02,

“Leases (Topic

842

),” which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of

12

months or greater. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2018,

including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this guidance for fiscal

2020

using the modified retrospective approach, including interim periods within that reporting period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company did

not

adjust prior comparative periods. The Company has a moderate amount of leasing activity mainly as the lessee of office equipment and as the lessor of modular buildings. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized

$34,316

as a right-of-use asset and

$34,316

of lease liabilities on the balance sheet for office equipment it leases. The Company's activity as a lessor will remain mostly unaffected by this guidance. The Company's additional disclosures

may

include, but are

not

limited to:

● Nature of its leases

● Significant assumptions and judgements used

● Information about leases that have not yet commenced

● Related-party lease transactions

● Accounting policy election regarding short-term leases

● Finance, operating, short-term and variable lease costs

● Maturity analysis of operating lease payments, lease receivables and lease obligations

● Tabular disclosure of lease-related income

● Components of the net investment in a lease

● Information on the management of risk associated with residual asset

4 ) Contract Receivables, Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities

The following table provides information about gross contract receivables, contract assets, and contract liabilities from contracts with customers included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	August 31, 2020		November 30, 2019
Receivables	$	1,766,000	$	1,703,000
Assets	$	122,000	$	727,000
Liabilities	$	454,000	$	89,000

The amount of revenue recognized in the

first

nine

months of fiscal

2020

that was included in a contract liability at

November 30, 2019

was approximately

$89,000

compared to

$185,000

in the same period of fiscal

2019.

The significant change in contract receivables reflected above is due to progress billings from open contracts in the Modular Buildings segment. Contract assets are down significantly from

November 30, 2019

as billings caught up to costs in the Modular Buildings segment over the course of the

nine

months. There are also a few contracts in the Modular Buildings segment that are currently overbilled, creating an increase in contract liabilities at

August 31, 2020

compared to

November 30, 2019.

The Company utilizes the practical expedient exception for reporting performance obligations and will report only on performance obligations greater than

one

year. As of

August 31, 2020,

the Company had

no

performance obligations with an original expected duration greater than

one

year.

9 ) Product Warranty

The Company offers warranties of various lengths to its customers depending on the specific product and terms of the customer purchase agreement. The average length of the warranty period is

one

year from the date of purchase. The Company's warranties require it to repair or replace defective products during the warranty period at

no

cost to the customer. Product warranty is included in the price of the product and provides assurance that the product will function in accordance with agreed-upon specifications. It does

not

represent a separate performance obligation under ASC

606.

The Company records a liability for estimated costs that

may

be incurred under its warranties. The costs are estimated based on historical experience and any specific warranty issues that have been identified. Although historical warranty costs have been within expectations, there can be

no

assurance that future warranty costs will

not

exceed historical amounts. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liability and adjusts the balance as necessary. The accrued warranty balance is included in accrued expenses as shown in Note

10 ) Loan and Credit Agreements

The Company maintains

two

revolving lines of credit and

two

term loans with Bank Midwest. The Company also previously maintained a term loan with The First National Bank of West Union.

Bank Midwest Revolving Lines of Credit and Term Loans

The Company maintains a credit facility with Bank Midwest consisting of a

$5,000,000

revolving line of credit (the

“2017

Line of Credit”), and a

$2,600,000

term loan due

October 1, 2037 (

the “Term Loan”). On

August 31, 2020,

the balance of the

2017

Line of Credit was

$1,767,530

with

$3,232,470

remaining available, as

may

be limited by the borrowing base calculation. The

2017

Line of Credit borrowing base is an amount equal to

75%

of accounts receivable balances (discounted for aged receivables), plus

50%

of inventory, less any outstanding loan balance on the

2017

Line of Credit. At

August 31, 2020,

the

2017

Line of Credit was

not

limited by the borrowing base calculation. Any unpaid principal amount borrowed on the

2017

Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to

1.00%

above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at

4.25%

per annum and the current interest rate is

4.25%

per annum. The

2017

Line of Credit was most recently renewed on

March 30, 2020.

The

2017

Line of Credit matures on

March 30, 2021

and requires monthly interest-only payments.

The Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of

5.00%

for the

first

sixty

months. Thereafter, the Term Loan will accrue interest at a floating rate per annum equal to

0.75%

above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at

4.15%

per annum and the interest rate

may

only be adjusted by Bank Midwest once every

five

years. Monthly payments of

$17,271

for principal and interest are required. The Term Loan is also guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”), which required an upfront guarantee fee of

$62,400

and requires an annual fee of

0.5%

of the unpaid balance. As part of the USDA guarantee requirements, shareholders owning more than

20%

are required to personally guarantee a portion of the Term Loan, in an amount equal to their stock ownership percentage. J. Ward McConnell Jr., the Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and a shareholder owning more than

20%

of the Company's outstanding stock, is guaranteeing approximately

38%

of the Term Loan, for an annual fee of

2%

of the personally guaranteed amount. The initial guarantee fee will be amortized over the life of the Term Loan, and the annual fees and personally guaranteed amounts are expensed monthly.

On

February 13, 2019,

the Company opened a

$4,000,000

revolving line of credit (the

“2019

Line of Credit”) with Bank Midwest in connection with bonding obligations for the Company's performance of a large modular laboratory construction project. Funds under the

2019

Line of Credit will be undisbursed to the Company and will be held by Bank Midwest in connection with an Irrevocable Letter of Credit issued by Bank Midwest for the project. The

2019

Line of Credit accrues interest at a floating rate per annum equal to

1.00%

above the Wall Street Journal rate published in the money rates section of the Wall Street Journal. The interest rate floor is set at

4.25%

per annum and the current interest rate is

4.25%

per annum. The

2019

Line of Credit was recently renewed on

February 13, 2020.

The

2019

Line of Credit is payable upon demand by Bank Midwest. If

no

earlier demand is made, the unpaid principal and accrued interest will be payable in

one

payment, due on

February 13, 2021.

As of

August 31, 2020,

the funds on the

2019

Line of Credit remain undisbursed and are held by Bank Midwest.

On

April 20, 2020,

the Company obtained a loan in the amount of

$1,242,900

from Bank Midwest in connection with the U.S. Small Business Administration's Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”). A portion of the PPP Loan

may

be forgiven based on the Company's use of the proceeds of the PPP Loan for its payroll costs and other expenses in accordance with the requirements of the Paycheck Protection Program. If the PPP Loan is

not

fully forgiven, the Company will remain liable for the full and punctual payment of the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company expects all or a significant portion of the PPP loan to be forgiven. The PPP Loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to

1.00%,

the outstanding principal balance plus accrued and unpaid interest is due on

April 20, 2022.

The PPP Loan is unsecured. The PPP Loan

may

be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with

no

prepayment penalties.

Each of the

2017

Line of Credit and the Term Loan are governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated

September 28, 2017,

entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest. The

2019

Line of Credit is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated

February 13, 2019,

entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest. The PPP Loan is governed by the terms of a Promissory Note, dated

April 20, 2020,

entered into between the Company and Bank Midwest.

In connection with the

2017

Line of Credit, the Company, Art's-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. each entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with Bank Midwest, dated

September 28, 2017,

pursuant to which each granted to Bank Midwest a

first

priority security interest in certain inventory, equipment, accounts, chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and other assets to secure the obligations of the Company under the line of credit. Each of Art's-Way Scientific Inc. and Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. also agreed to guarantee the obligations of the Company pursuant to the

2017

Line of Credit, as set forth in Commercial Guaranties, each dated

September 28, 2017.

The

2019

Line of Credit is also secured by these existing security documents.

To further secure the

2017

Line of Credit, the Company granted Bank Midwest a mortgage on its Canton, Ohio property held by Ohio Metal Working Products/Art's-Way Inc. The

2019

Line of Credit is also secured by the mortgage on the Canton, Ohio property. The Term Loan is secured by a mortgage on the Company's Armstrong, Iowa and Monona, Iowa properties. Each mortgage is governed by the terms of a separate Mortgage, dated

September 28, 2017,

and each property is also subject to a separate Assignment of Rents, dated

September 28, 2017.

If the Company or its subsidiaries (as guarantors pursuant to the Commercial Guaranties) commits an event of default with respect to the promissory notes and fails or is unable to cure that default, Bank Midwest

may

immediately terminate its obligation, if any, to make additional loans to the Company and

may

accelerate the Company's obligations under the promissory notes. Bank Midwest shall also have all other rights and remedies for default provided by the Uniform Commercial Code, as well as any other applicable law and the various loan agreements. In addition, in an event of default, Bank Midwest

may

foreclose on the mortgaged property.

Compliance with Bank Midwest covenants is measured annually at

November 30.

The terms of the Bank Midwest loan agreements require the Company to maintain a minimum working capital ratio of

1.75,

while maintaining a minimum of

$5,100,000

of working capital. Additionally, a maximum debt to worth ratio of

1

to

1

must be maintained, with a minimum of

40%

tangible balance sheet equity, with variations subject to mutual agreement. The Company is also required to maintain a minimum debt service coverage ratio of

1.25,

with a

0.10

tolerance. The Company also must receive bank approval for purchases or sales of equipment over

$100,000

annually and maintain reasonable salaries and owner compensation. The Company received the necessary approvals for purchases of equipment over

$100,000

for the

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of

November 30, 2019

other than the debt service coverage ratio. Bank Midwest issued a waiver forgiving the noncompliance, and

no

event of default has occurred. The next measurement date is

November 30, 2020.

SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans

On

June 18, 2020,

and again on

June 24, 2020

the Company executed the standard loan documents required for securing loans offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration under its Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL”) assistance program in light of the impact of the COVID-

19

pandemic on the Company's business. Two loans were executed on

June 18, 2020

with principal amounts of

$150,000

each, with a

third

loan being executed on

June 24, 2020

with a principal amount of

$150,000

.

Proceeds from these EIDLs are being used for working capital purposes. Interest accrues at the rate of

3.75%

per annum and will accrue from the date of inception. Installment payments, including principal and interest, are due monthly beginning

June 18, 2021

(

twelve

months from the date of the EIDLs) and

June 24, 2021

in the amount of

$731

per EIDL. The balance of principal and interest is payable

30

years from the date of the EIDL. The EIDLs are secured by a security interest on all of the Company's assets. Each EIDL is governed by the terms of a separate Promissory Note, dated either

June 18, 2020

or

June 24, 2020,

as applicable, entered into between the Company or the applicable subsidiary.

First National Bank of West Union Term Loan

On

May 1, 2010,

the Company obtained a

$1,300,000

loan to finance the purchase of an additional facility located in West Union, Iowa to be used as a distribution center, warehouse facility, and manufacturing plant for certain products under the Art's-Way brand.

The Company accounts for leases of modular buildings to certain customers as sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to

36

months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. The lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the Company's obligation to the lessee is complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company's obligation to the lessee.

Modular buildings held for lease by the Modular Buildings segment are recorded at cost. Amortization of each modular building is calculated over the useful life of the building. Estimated useful life is

three

to

five

years. Lease revenue is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease agreement. Lease income for modular buildings is included in sales on the consolidated statements of operations.

The components related to sales-type leases at

Lessee, Operating Leases [Text Block]

14 ) Operating Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. The nature of the Company's operating leases at this time is office equipment, mainly copiers, with terms of

12

to

60

months. Operating leases are included in other assets as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets while current lease liabilities are included as accrued expenses. The long-term portions of operating lease liabilities are shown as long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value payments over the lease term. As most of the Company's leases do

not

provide an implicit rate, the Company generally uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The lease terms

may

include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has copier lease agreements with lease and non-lease components and has elected the practical expedient

not

to separate lease and non-lease components for this asset class. The Company has also elected

not

to recognize lease liabilities and ROU assets for short-term leases. The Company recognizes variable costs that depend on usage in profit or loss as they are incurred.

The components of operating leases on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at

August 31, 2020

were as follows:

	August 31, 2020
Operating lease right-of-use assets	$	30,182
Current portion of operating lease liabilities	$	9,406
Long-term portion of operating lease liabilities		20,776
Total operating lease liabilities	$	30,182

The Company included

$30,182

$9,406

was included in accrued expenses and the

$20,776

$4,208

and

$17,840

of operating lease costs in the

three

and

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020,

respectively, which included variable costs tied to usage. The Company's operating leases carry a weighted average lease term of

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Text Block]

15 ) Equity Incentive Plan and Stock Based Compensation

On

February 25, 2020,

the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) authorized and approved the Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc.

2020

Equity Incentive Plan (the

“2020

Plan”).  The

2020

Plan was approved by the stockholders on

April 30, 2020.

The

2020

Plan replaces the Art's-Way Manufacturing Co., Inc.

2011

Equity Incentive Plan (the

“2011

Plan”) and adds an additional

500,000

shares to the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to equity awards.

No

further stock options will be awarded under the

2011

Plan or other prior plans. Awards to directors and executive officers under the

2020

Plan are governed by the forms of agreement approved by the Board of Directors. Stock options granted prior to

February 25, 2020

are governed by the applicable prior plan and the forms of agreement adopted thereunder.

The

2020

Plan permits the plan administrator to award nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards, and stock appreciation rights to employees (including officers), directors, and consultants. The Board has approved a director compensation policy pursuant to which non-employee directors are automatically granted restricted stock awards of

1,000

shares of fully vested common stock annually or initially upon their election to the Board and another

1,000

shares of fully vested common stock on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. During the

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020,

restricted stock awards of

128,750

shares were issued to various employees, directors, and consultants, which vest over the next

three

years, and restricted stock awards of

20,000

shares were issued to directors as part of the director compensation policy, which vested immediately upon grant. In comparison, during the

first

nine

months of fiscal

2019,

restricted stock awards of

72,437

shares were issued to various employees, directors, and consultants, which vest over

three

years from the date of issuance, and restricted stock awards of

21,000

were issued to directors as part of the director compensation policy. During the

first

nine

months of fiscal

2020,

4,833

shares of restricted stock were forfeited upon departure of employees compared to

2,400

shares of restricted stock forfeited during the same period of fiscal

2019.

Stock-based compensation expense reflects the fair value of stock-based awards measured at the grant date and recognized over the relevant vesting period. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock-based option award on the measurement date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model which incorporates assumptions as to stock price volatility, the expected life of the options, risk-free interest rate, and dividend yield. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company's stock and other factors. The Company uses historical option exercise and termination data to estimate the expected term the options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is calculated using historical dividend amounts and the stock price at the option issuance date.

No

stock options were granted during the

nine

months ended

August 31, 2020

or in the same respective period of fiscal

2019.

The Company incurred a total of

$42,910

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

16 ) Disclosures About the Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. At

August 31, 2020

and

November 30, 2019,

the carrying amount approximated fair value for cash, accounts receivable, net investment in sales-type leases, accounts payable, notes payable to bank, and other current and long-term liabilities. The carrying amounts of current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of the net investment in sales-type leases also approximates recorded value as that is based on discounting future cash flows at rates implicit in the lease. The rates implicit in the lease do

not

materially differ from current market rates. The fair value of the Company's term loans payable also approximates recorded value because the interest rates charged under the loan terms are

not

substantially different from current interest rates.

it did impact results of operations for the

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

In accordance with ASC

606,

revenue is measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation specified in each contract. The major sources of revenue for the Agricultural Products and Tools segments are farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments generally execute short-term contracts that contain a single performance obligation – the delivery of product to the common carrier. The Company recognizes revenue for the production and sale of farm equipment, service parts related to farm equipment and steel cutting tools and inserts upon shipment of the goods. Shipment of the goods is the point in time when risk of ownership and title pass to the buyer. All sales are made to authorized dealers whose application for dealer status has been approved and who have been informed of general sales policies. Any changes in the Company's terms are documented in the most recently published price lists. Pricing is fixed and determinable according to the Company's published equipment and parts price lists. Title to all equipment and parts sold passes to the buyer upon delivery to the carrier and is

not

subject to a customer acceptance provision. Proof of the passing of title is documented by the signing of the delivery receipt by a representative of the carrier. Post shipment obligations are limited to any claim with respect to the condition of the equipment or parts. The Agricultural Products and Tools segments each typically require payment in full

30

days after the ship date. To take advantage of program discounts, some customers pay deposits up front. Any deposits received are considered unearned revenue and increase contract liabilities.

In certain circumstances, upon the customer's written request, the Company

may

recognize revenue when production is complete and the goods are ready for shipment. At the buyer's request, the Company will bill the buyer upon completing all performance obligations, but before shipment. The buyer dictates that the Company ship the goods per its direction from the Company's manufacturing facility, as is customary with this type of agreement, in order to minimize shipping costs. The written agreement with the customer specifies that the goods will be delivered on a schedule to be determined by the customer, with a final specified delivery date, and that the Company will segregate the goods from its inventory, such that they are

not

available to fill other orders. This agreement also specifies that the buyer is required to purchase all goods manufactured under this agreement. Title of the goods will pass to the buyer when the goods are complete and ready for shipment, per the customer agreement. At the transfer of title, all risks of ownership have passed to the buyer, and the buyer agrees to maintain insurance on the manufactured items that have

not

yet been shipped. The Company has operated using bill and hold agreements with certain customers for many years, with consistent satisfactory results for both buyer and seller. The credit terms on this agreement are consistent with the credit terms on all other sales. All risks of loss are shouldered by the buyer, and there are

no

exceptions to the buyer's commitment to accept and pay for these manufactured goods.

The Modular Buildings segment is in the construction industry with its major source of revenue arising from modular building sales. Sales of modular buildings are generally recognized using input methods to measure progress towards the satisfaction of a performance obligation using the percentage of completion method. Revenue and gross profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at completion. Contract costs consist of direct costs on contracts, including labor, materials, amounts payable to subcontractors and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as equipment costs, insurance and employee benefits. Contract cost is recorded as incurred, and revisions in contract revenues and cost estimates are reflected in the accounting period when known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Contract losses are recognized when current estimates of total contract revenue and contract cost indicate a loss. Estimated contract costs include any and all costs appropriately allocable to the contract. The provision for these contract losses will be the excess of estimated contract costs over estimated contract revenues. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those changes arising from contract change orders, penalty provisions and final contract settlements

may

result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The Company uses significant judgements in determining estimated contract costs and completion percentages throughout the life of the project. Stock modular building sales also occur and are recognized at a point in time when the performance obligation is fulfilled through substantial completion. Substantial completion is achieved through customer acceptance of the completed building. The Modular Buildings segment executes contracts with customers that can be short- or long-term in nature. These contracts can have multiple performance obligations and revenue from these can be recognized over time or at a point in time depending on the nature of the contracts. Payment terms for the Modular Buildings segment vary by contract, but typically utilize money down and progress payments throughout the life of the contract. The payment terms of the Modular Buildings segment have the most impact on the Company's contract receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities. Project invoicing from the Modular Buildings segment increases contract receivables and has an effect on contract liabilities through billings in excess of costs and estimated gross profit and advanced payments. The balance of contract assets is typically made up of the balance of costs and estimated gross profit in excess of billings. Costs and profit in excess of amounts billed are classified as current assets and billings in excess of cost and profit are classified as current liabilities.

The Company leases modular buildings to certain customers and accounts for these transactions as operating or sales-type leases. These leases have terms of up to

36

months and are collateralized by a security interest in the related modular building. On sales-type leases, the lessee has a bargain purchase option available at the end of the lease term. A minimum lease receivable is recorded net of unearned interest income and profit on sale at the time the building is substantially complete. Profit related to the sale of the building is recorded upon fulfillment of the Company's obligation to the lessee. On operating leases, the Company recognizes rent when the lessee has all the rights and benefits of ownership of the asset.

The Agricultural Products segment offers variable consideration in the form of discounts depending on participation in yearly early order programs. This variable consideration is allocated to the transaction price of all products in a sales arrangement and is

not

contingent on future outcomes. The Agricultural Products segment does

not

offer rebates or credits. The Tools segment offers quantity discounts that are allocated to the transaction price of each product once the quantity break is achieved. The Tools segment does

not

offer rebates or credits. The Modular Buildings segment does

not

offer discounts, rebates or credits.

The Company's returns policy allows for new and saleable parts to be returned, subject to inspection and a restocking charge, which is included in net sales. Whole goods are

not

returnable. Shipping costs charged to customers are included in net sales. Freight costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold. Customer deposits consist of advance payments from customers, in the form of cash, for revenue to be recognized in the following year.

),” which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on its balance sheet for all leases with terms of

12

months or greater. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after

December 15, 2018,

including interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this guidance for fiscal

2020

using the modified retrospective approach, including interim periods within that reporting period. Under the modified retrospective approach, the Company did

not

adjust prior comparative periods. The Company has a moderate amount of leasing activity mainly as the lessee of office equipment and as the lessor of modular buildings. As a result of adoption, the Company recognized

$34,316

as a right-of-use asset and

$34,316

of lease liabilities on the balance sheet for office equipment it leases. The Company's activity as a lessor will remain mostly unaffected by this guidance. The Company's additional disclosures

may

include, but are

not

limited to:

● Nature of its leases

● Significant assumptions and judgements used

● Information about leases that have not yet commenced

● Related-party lease transactions

● Accounting policy election regarding short-term leases

● Finance, operating, short-term and variable lease costs

● Maturity analysis of operating lease payments, lease receivables and lease obligations

● Tabular disclosure of lease-related income

● Components of the net investment in a lease

● Information on the management of risk associated with residual asset
