Micron Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary
Period Ended March 31, 2017
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
The consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") include the accounts of Micron Solutions, Inc.® (“Micron Solutions”) and its subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc.® ("Micron" and together with Micron Solutions, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2017.
The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
The information presented reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Operating matters and liquidity
At March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Company’s revolver under its credit facility was $2,610,795. The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017 (see Note 6). On May 9, 2017, the bank approved the renewal of the revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018 under substantially the same terms as the current revolver (see Note 10). While the Company has experienced net losses in seven of its last nine quarters, the Company believes that the renewal of the revolver, cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, increased booked orders and other resources will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Assessment of going concern
The Company follows accounting standard ASU No. 2014-15, ―Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new accounting standard requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluations include identifying relevant conditions and events that were known and reasonably knowable as of the date these financial statements have been issued.
At December 31, 2016, the Company identified certain conditions and events which in the aggregate required management to perform an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions included the Company’s ability to renew the revolver which matures in June 2017 negative financial history and the Company’s limited liquidity to meet the working capital needs to support the Company’s operations. Similar conditions exist as of March 31, 2017.
Management’s assessment included an analysis of the Company’s financial forecasts. Management’s assessment also considered the Company’s history of meeting financial covenants and being able to renew and refinance its debt obligations. Based on the renewal of the Company’s revolver (see Note 10), cash forecasts, expected fulfillment of booked orders from existing customers, new customer prospects, and the closing on the sale of certain real estate held for sale, the Company expects to continue to meet its financial covenants and its obligations for the next year.
2. Earnings per Share ("EPS")
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of
6
Micron Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary
Period Ended March 31, 2017
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the average number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in net income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 all shares are anti-dilutive. For this reason the EPS table has been removed.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $395,120 and $361,001, respectively.
In January 2016, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Agreement) with a Buyer (collectively the “Parties”) to sell two unoccupied buildings, with approximately 52,000 square feet, and land, at its Fitchburg, Massachusetts campus.
In December 2016, the Parties entered into a First Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the First Amendment) which extended the time to close to January 13, 2018. As part of the consideration for extending the Agreement the Buyer agreed to pay certain extension fees.
In January 2017, the Parties entered into a Second Amendment to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the Second Amendment) to further extend the time to close to July 2018. The Second Amendment permits the Buyer to assign the Agreement to a third party and extends the extension fees through July 2018 or the culmination of the agreement.
At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the real estate under agreement was classified as Assets Held for Sale valued at $688,750. The carrying value approximated the fair value less the cost to sell.
5. Intangible Assets, net
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not impair any intangible assets.

Bank Debt
The Company has a multi-year credit facility with a Massachusetts based bank. This credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), a commercial term loan and an equipment line of credit. The debt is secured by substantially all assets of the Company with the exception of real property.
Revolver
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory. The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (3.75% at March 31, 2017). The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017. Amounts available to borrow under the revolver are $848,719 at March 31, 2017.
On May 9, 2017, the Company’s bank approved the renewal of the Company’s revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018, under substantially the same terms as the current revolver, subject to certain closing requirements. The Company expects to close on the renewal prior to the end of June 2017.
Commercial term loan
In November 2016, the Company refinanced its bank term debt, including the commercial term loan and three equipment term loans, along with $500,000 from the revolver, into a new $2,481,943 consolidated five year commercial term loan with a maturity date in November 2021. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.65% per annum and the loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,500.
Equipment line of credit
In November 2016, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allows for advances of up to $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing in November 2022, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime

rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan.
At March 31, 2017, $416,949 has been drawn on the equipment line of credit. At December 31, 2016, $102,500 had been drawn on the equipment line of credit.
Debt issuance costs
The amount of the commercial term loan presented in the table above is net of debt issuance costs of $39,712 and $45,858 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively.
Bank covenants
The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include maintaining certain debt coverage and leverage ratios. The non-financial covenants relate to various matters including notice prior to executing further borrowings and security interests, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions, guarantees, sales of assets other than in the normal course of business, leasing, changes in ownership and payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all bank covenants as of March 31, 2017.
Other Debt
Equipment notes
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018.
Subordinated promissory notes
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The unsecured notes required quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum for the first two years. In December 2015, the interest rate increased to 12% per annum. The Company’s two largest beneficial owners of stock and a director participated in the private offering as follows: REF Securities, LLP, beneficial owner of approximately 13% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; the Chambers Medical Foundation (the “Foundation”), beneficial owner of approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; and Mr. E.P. Marinos, a director, invested $50,000 in the offering. The Company’s Chairman of the Board is a co-trustee of the Foundation but has held no dispositive powers since his appointment as such.
In October 2016, the Company and six of the seven investors in the private offering, aggregating $450,000 of the notes, including the three related parties holding $250,000 of the notes, agreed to extend the maturity dates of the notes to December 31, 2018 at a rate of 10% per annum. One investor did not extend the maturity date and that $50,000 note was paid at maturity in December 2016. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to its multi-year bank credit facility.
In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, including 20,000 warrants to REF Securities, LLP, 20,000 warrants to the Foundation and 10,000 warrants to Mr. Marinos. The warrants were exercisable through December 2016 at an exercise price of $3.51 per share. In 2014, 30,000 warrants were exercised, including 20,000 by the Foundation. No warrants were exercised in 2015 or 2016. In October 2016, in connection with the extension of the maturity dates of the subordinated promissory notes, the expiration date of the remaining 70,000 warrants was extended to December 31, 2018. The exercise price remained unchanged at $3.51 per share. The 70,000 warrants remain unexercised at March 31, 2017.
In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company calculated the incremental fair value of extending the expiration date of the Notes and Warrants and determined that the amendment represented a debt modification in accordance with the guidance outlined in ASC-470, “Debt”. Using the Black-Scholes model, and the 10% test, the Company determined that the incremental fair value of the warrants to be $18,310 which was recorded as a reduction against the Notes and an increase in Additional Paid-in Capital.

The discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. The Company recorded $2,218 and $6,921 for three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $15,771 at March 31, 2017 and $17,989 at December 31, 2016.
7. Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes has been recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2017 or 2016, respectively. The Company has a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
At March 31, 2017 the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards totaling $9,124,000 and $10,780,000, respectively, which begin to expire in 2030. The Company also has federal and state tax credit carryovers of $305,800 and $188,000 respectively. The federal and state tax credits begin to expire in 2026 and 2027, respectively.
8. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal matters
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings involving a variety of matters. The Company does not believe there are any pending legal proceedings that will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Off-balance sheet arrangements

Critical Accounting Policies
The critical accounting policies utilized by the Company in preparation of the accompanying financial statements are set forth in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. There have been no material changes to these policies since December 31, 2016.
Overview
Micron Solutions®, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Micron Solutions”), through its wholly-owned Massachusetts subsidiary, Micron Products®, Inc. (“Micron” and together with Micron Solutions, the "Company"), is a diversified contract manufacturing organization (“CMO”) that produces highly-engineered, innovative medical device components requiring precision machining and injection molding. The Company also manufactures components, devices and equipment for military, law enforcement, automotive and consumer product applications. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of silver/silver chloride coated and conductive resin sensors used as consumable component parts in the manufacture of integrated disposable electrophysiological sensors. These disposable medical devices are used worldwide in the monitoring of electrical signals in various medical applications. The Company's machining operations produce quick-turn, high volume patient-specific and off-the-shelf orthopedic implants and instruments. The Company’s machining operations also include laser marking, automated polishing, passivation and coating. The Company has thermoplastic injection molding capabilities as well, and provides a full array of design, engineering, production services and management. The Company competes globally, with approximately thirty five percent of its revenue derived from exports.
Operating matters and liquidity
At March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Company’s revolver under its credit facility was $2,610,795. The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017 (see Note 6 to the condensed, consolidated financial statements). On May 9, 2017, the bank approved the renewal of the revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018 under substantially the same terms as the current revolver (see Note 10 to the condensed, consolidated financial statements). While the Company has experienced net losses in seven of its last nine quarters, the Company believes that the renewal of the revolver, cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, increased booked orders and other resources will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Assessment of going concern
The Company follows accounting standard ASU No. 2014-15, ―Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new accounting standard requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluations include identifying relevant conditions and events that were known and reasonably knowable as of the date these financial statements have been issued.
At December 31, 2016, the Company identified certain conditions and events which in the aggregate required management to perform an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions included the Company’s ability to renew the revolver which matures in June 2017, negative financial history and the Company’s limited liquidity to meet the working capital needs to support the Company’s operations. Similar conditions existed at March 31, 2017.
Management’s assessment included an analysis of the Company’s financial forecasts. Management’s assessment also considered the Company’s history of meeting financial covenants and being able to renew and refinance its debt obligations. Based on the renewal of the Company’s revolver (see Note 10 to the condensed, consolidated financial statements), cash forecasts, expected

fulfillment of booked orders from existing customers, new customer prospects, and the closing on the sale of certain real estate held for sale, the Company expects to continue to meet its financial covenants and its obligations for the next year.

Net Sales
The Company's consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $5,264,977, an increase of $281,696, or 5.7%, when compared to the consolidated net sales of $4,983,281 for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was due primarily to an increase in net sales of thermoplastic injection molding and net tooling revenue, partially offset by decreased net sales of sensors and orthopedic implant components and instruments.
Net sales of thermoplastic injection molding for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 27.5% over the same period in 2016. The increase was due to increased sales volume of automotive components as well as increased sales volume of military and law enforcement components when compared to the same period in 2016. Additionally, net sales of tooling, net of deferred revenue, increased due largely to tooling for new components from new and existing customers, for both the thermoplastic injection molding and machining product lines across the medical and military, industrial and law enforcement industries.
These increases above were partially offset by a decrease in net sales of sensors of 9.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease was largely due to lower shipments and price concessions compared to the same period last year, partially offset by an increase in silver surcharge billed due to an increase in the weighted average cost of silver.
These increases above were also partially offset by a decrease in net sales of orthopedic implant components and instruments of 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 when compared to the same prior year period. The decrease is due primarily to reduced demand of femoral components from one large customer beginning in the third quarter of 2016. Partially offsetting the decrease was new business from three new customers for which the Company has expanded its machining operations to include surgical instrumentation including cutting guides, as well as hip stems, keel trays and other orthopedic components beginning in the second quarter of 2016.
Gross Profit
The Company's gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $738,095, an increase of $52,976, or 7.7%, when compared to gross profit of $685,119 for the same period in 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased to 14.0%, or 0.3 points from 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to an increase in gross profit from thermoplastic injection molding, net tooling and sensors, partially offset by lower gross profit from orthopedic implant components and instruments.
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to a 24.5% increase in gross profit from thermoplastic injection molding due largely to increased sales volume. Gross margin as a percent of sales decreased by 0.8 points due to customer and product mix.
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 also increased as a result of increased sales of tooling from new and existing customers across the medical and military and law enforcement industries.
13
Gross profit for sensors the three months ended March 31, 2017 increased 0.3%. Lower shipment volume and price concessions resulted in margin deterioration which was offset by an increase in the weighted average cost of silver.
The increase in gross profit above, for the three months ended March 31, 2017 versus the same prior year period, was partly offset by a decrease in gross profit of 28.7% from orthopedic implant components and instrumentation. The decrease in gross profit was due largely to additional time and materials for reworking new components from new customers in the first two months of the quarter as the Company refined the manufacturing process for the new product offerings for completion and shipment of parts in March.
The increase in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2017 versus the same prior year period was also partly offset by a 24.9% increase in expenses for other indirect manufacturing overhead departments. The higher expenses were due in part to higher mold shop maintenance and repairs due to an increase in machine utilization requirements as a result of increased volume of thermoplastic injection molding. The higher expenses were also due in part to increased engineering and quality costs largely associated with the machining product line.
Selling and Marketing
The Company's consolidated selling and marketing expenses amounted to $265,873 (5.0% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $293,346 (5.9% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $27,473, or 9.4%. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the decrease was primarily due to decreased compensation of $38,253 as a result of the departure of a sales person and customer service representative in the first quarter of 2017. Additionally, commissions decreased $13,752 due in part to the mix of commissionable parts. Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase of $24,532 in other sales and marketing expenses in part related to new marketing materials and attendance at trade shows.
General and Administrative
The Company's consolidated general and administrative expenses decreased to $616,829 (11.7% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $690,635 (13.9% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 a decrease of $73,806, or 10.7%. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is mainly due to lower legal fees and lower consulting fees. Legal fees for the three months ended March 31, 2017 decreased from same prior year period by $45,527 due to legal fees related to investor relations in the first quarter of 2016. Consulting fees were $58,748 lower than the same prior year quarter due largely to $51,600 of recruiting agency fees related to the replacement of three positions in the first quarter of 2016.
Research and Development
The Company's consolidated research and development expenses increased to $29,296 (0.6% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to $25,843 (0.5% of net sales) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $3,453.
Other Expense, net
Other expense, net decreased to $39,812 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, as compared to $59,443, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $19,631. The decrease in other expense was due largely to gains on sales of fixed assets of $12,315 in the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2017 the Company received other income of $12,000 from extension fees related to the assets held for sale. The decreases in other expense were partly offset by an increase in interest expense of $3,681 due to higher principal balances outstanding on the revolver.
Income Tax Provision
The tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 attributable to the U.S. federal and state income taxes are zero. The Company’s combined federal and state effective income tax rate from continuing operations for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of 0% is due to the deferred tax assets being fully reserved for with a valuation allowance.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Consolidated basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was $0.08 per share as compared to basic and diluted loss of $0.14 per share for the same period in 2016, a decrease in the loss per share of $0.06. The decrease in the loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, is due to an increase in net sales and a decrease in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.
14
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Lease expense under all operating leases was approximately $7,230 and $3,322 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital was $1,139,314 as of March 31, 2017, as compared to $1,530,773 at December 31, 2016, a decrease of $391,459. Cash and cash equivalents were $265,142 and $380,381 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, a decrease of $115,239. Substantially all of these funds are maintained in bank deposit accounts.
Trade accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts were $3,241,771 and $2,276,608 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, an increase of $965,163 due to higher net sales in the last two weeks of March 2017.
Inventories were $3,353,283 at March 31, 2017, as compared to $3,060,085 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $293,198. Work-in-process inventory increased $188,263 primarily as a result of increased orthopedic implant components and instruments as well as an increase in silver in work-in-process. Finished goods inventory increased $77,199 due in part to the increase in the value of silver in finished goods inventory as well as higher inventory being held at customer locations.
Accounts payable were $2,076,887 and $1,744,261 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, an increase of $332,626 due largely to the timing of disbursements. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $101,485 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to December 31, 2016 due in part to an increase in payroll accruals based on timing of quarter end. These increases were partly offset by decreases in the current portion of deferred revenue of $38,224 and customer deposits of $28,648, both related to tooling.
Capital equipment expenditures were $493,576 for the three months ended March 31, 2017, due to investments in machinery and equipment primarily for the contract manufacturing of orthopedic implants and instruments as well as custom injection molding as compared to $373,259 in the same period in 2016.
At March 31, 2017, the Company’s total debt was $5,800,325 as compared to $4,778,637 at December 31, 2016, an increase of $1,021,688. The increase is due largely to $825,000 in net borrowing from the revolver and $314,449 of borrowings from the equipment line of credit to fund working capital and finance investments in capital equipment, respectively, partially offset by payments of $126,125 on term debt.
The total outstanding balance of the Company’s term debt decreased $119,979 to $2,338,352 at March 31, 2017 as compared to $2,458,331 at December 31, 2016 due to regular payments on the term debt.
The Company has a multi-year credit facility with a Massachusetts based bank. At March 31, 2017, this credit facility consisted of a revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), a commercial term loan and an equipment line of credit. The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants, all of which the Company is in compliance with at March 31, 2017. The debt is secured by substantially all assets of the Company with the exception of real property.
The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory. The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (3.75% at March 31, 2017). The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017. Amounts available to borrow under the revolver are $848,719 at March 31, 2017.
On May 9, 2017, the Company’s bank approved the renewal of the Company’s revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018, under substantially the same terms as the current revolver, subject to certain closing requirements. The Company expects to close on the renewal prior to the end of June 2017.
In November 2016, the Company refinanced its bank term debt, including the commercial term loan and three equipment term loans, along with $500,000 from the revolver, into a new $2,481,943 consolidated five year commercial term loan with a maturity date in November 2021. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.65% per annum and the loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,500.
In November 2016, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit under that allows for advances of up to $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing in November 2022, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an
15
amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan. At March 31, 2017, $416,949 has been drawn on the equipment line of credit. At December 31, 2016, $102,500 had been drawn on the equipment line of credit.
The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include maintaining certain debt coverage and leverage ratios. The non-financial covenants relate to various matters including notice prior to executing further borrowings and security interests, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions, guarantees, sales of assets other than in the normal course of business, leasing, changes in ownership and payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all bank covenants as of March 31, 2017.
In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018.
In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The unsecured notes required quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum for the first two years. In December 2015, the interest rate increased to 12% per annum. The Company’s two largest beneficial owners of stock and a director participated in the private offering as follows: REF Securities, LLP, beneficial owner of approximately 13% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; the Chambers Medical Foundation (the “Foundation”), beneficial owner of approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; and Mr. E.P. Marinos, a director, invested $50,000 in the offering. The Company’s Chairman of the Board is a co-trustee of the Foundation but has held no dispositive powers since his appointment as such.
In October 2016, the Company and six of the seven investors in the private offering, aggregating $450,000 of the notes, including the three related parties holding $250,000 of the notes, agreed to extend the maturity dates of the notes to December 31, 2018 at a rate of 10% per annum. One investor did not extend the maturity date and that $50,000 note was paid at maturity in December 2016. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to its multi-year bank credit facility.
No dividends were declared or paid in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
The Company believes that the renewal of the revolver, cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, increased booked orders and other resources will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Summary of Changes in Cash Position
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had cash on hand of $265,142. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, net cash used in operating activities was $652,906.

These uses of cash were partly offset by non-cash add-backs for depreciation and amortization of $395,559 and share-based compensation of $26,221. Cash was provided by an increase of $332,626 in accounts payable, an increase of $101,485 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer (“the Certifying Officers”) have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based on such evaluation, our Certifying Officers have concluded the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, were effective.
The effectiveness of a system of disclosure controls and procedures is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of internal controls, and fraud. Due to such inherent limitations, there can be no assurance that any system of disclosure controls and procedures will be successful in preventing all errors or fraud, or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis of Presentation [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | The consolidated financial statements (the "financial statements") include the accounts of Micron Solutions, Inc.® (“Micron Solutions”) and its subsidiary, Micron Products, Inc.® ("Micron" and together with Micron Solutions, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on March 22, 2017. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The Company's balance sheet at December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The information presented reflects, in the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Operating matters and liquidity At March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance on the Company’s revolver under its credit facility was $2,610,795. The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017 (see Note 6). On May 9, 2017, the bank approved the renewal of the revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018 under substantially the same terms as the current revolver (see Note 10). While the Company has experienced net losses in seven of its last nine quarters, the Company believes that the renewal of the revolver, cash flows from its operations, together with its existing working capital, increased booked orders and other resources will be sufficient to fund operations at current levels and repay debt obligations over the next twelve months; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so. Assessment of going concern The Company follows accounting standard ASU No. 2014-15, ―Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The new accounting standard requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions that give rise to substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Substantial doubt exists when conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, indicate that it is probable that a company will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the financial statement issuance date. Management evaluations include identifying relevant conditions and events that were known and reasonably knowable as of the date these financial statements have been issued. At December 31, 2016, the Company identified certain conditions and events which in the aggregate required management to perform an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These conditions included the Company’s ability to renew the revolver which matures in June 2017 negative financial history and the Company’s limited liquidity to meet the working capital needs to support the Company’s operations. Similar conditions exist as of March 31, 2017. Management’s assessment included an analysis of the Company’s financial forecasts. Management’s assessment also considered the Company’s history of meeting financial covenants and being able to renew and refinance its debt obligations. Based on the renewal of the Company’s revolver (see Note 10), cash forecasts, expected fulfillment of booked orders from existing customers, new customer prospects, and the closing on the sale of certain real estate held for sale, the Company expects to continue to meet its financial covenants and its obligations for the next year.

Earnings Per Share ("EPS") [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share ("EPS") | 2. Earnings per Share ("EPS") Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the average number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued. In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in net income (loss) that would result from the assumed conversions of those potential shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 all shares are anti-dilutive. For this reason the EPS table has been removed.

Debt [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Debt | 6. Debt The following table sets forth the items which comprise debt for the Company:
Bank Debt The Company has a multi-year credit facility with a Massachusetts based bank. This credit facility consists of a revolving line of credit (the "revolver"), a commercial term loan and an equipment line of credit. The debt is secured by substantially all assets of the Company with the exception of real property. Revolver The revolver provides for borrowings up to 80% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible raw materials inventory. The interest rate on the revolver is calculated at the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% (3.75% at March 31, 2017). The revolver has a maturity date of June 2017. Amounts available to borrow under the revolver are $848,719 at March 31, 2017. On May 9, 2017, the Company’s bank approved the renewal of the Company’s revolver for a one year term, expiring June 30, 2018, under substantially the same terms as the current revolver, subject to certain closing requirements. The Company expects to close on the renewal prior to the end of June 2017. Commercial term loan In November 2016, the Company refinanced its bank term debt, including the commercial term loan and three equipment term loans, along with $500,000 from the revolver, into a new $2,481,943 consolidated five year commercial term loan with a maturity date in November 2021. The interest rate on the loan is a fixed 4.65% per annum and the loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $46,500. Equipment line of credit In November 2016, the Company entered into an equipment line of credit that allows for advances of up to $1.0 million under the Company's multi-year credit facility. The term of this equipment line of credit is six years, maturing in November 2022, inclusive of a maximum one-year draw period. Repayment shall consist of monthly interest only payments, equal to the bank's prime rate plus 0.25% as to each advance commencing on the date of the loan through the earlier of: (i) one year from the date of the loan or (ii) the date upon which the equipment line of credit is fully advanced (the “Conversion Date”). On the Conversion Date, principal and interest payments will be due and payable monthly in an amount sufficient to pay the loan in full based upon an amortization schedule commensurate with the remaining term of the loan. At March 31, 2017, $416,949 has been drawn on the equipment line of credit. At December 31, 2016, $102,500 had been drawn on the equipment line of credit. Debt issuance costs The amount of the commercial term loan presented in the table above is net of debt issuance costs of $39,712 and $45,858 at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 respectively. Bank covenants The bank facility contains both financial and non-financial covenants. The financial covenants include maintaining certain debt coverage and leverage ratios. The non-financial covenants relate to various matters including notice prior to executing further borrowings and security interests, mergers or consolidations, acquisitions, guarantees, sales of assets other than in the normal course of business, leasing, changes in ownership and payment of dividends. The Company was in compliance with all bank covenants as of March 31, 2017. Other Debt Equipment notes In January 2013, the Company entered into two equipment notes totaling $272,500 with a financing company to acquire production equipment. The notes bear interest at the fixed rate of 4.66% and require monthly payments of principal and interest of approximately $5,000 over a five year term maturing in January 2018. Subordinated promissory notes In December 2013, the Company completed a private offering in which the Company sold an aggregate of $500,000 in subordinated promissory notes. The unsecured notes required quarterly interest-only payments at a rate of 10% per annum for the first two years. In December 2015, the interest rate increased to 12% per annum. The Company’s two largest beneficial owners of stock and a director participated in the private offering as follows: REF Securities, LLP, beneficial owner of approximately 13% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; the Chambers Medical Foundation (the “Foundation”), beneficial owner of approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock, invested $100,000 in the offering; and Mr. E.P. Marinos, a director, invested $50,000 in the offering. The Company’s Chairman of the Board is a co-trustee of the Foundation but has held no dispositive powers since his appointment as such.
In October 2016, the Company and six of the seven investors in the private offering, aggregating $450,000 of the notes, including the three related parties holding $250,000 of the notes, agreed to extend the maturity dates of the notes to December 31, 2018 at a rate of 10% per annum. One investor did not extend the maturity date and that $50,000 note was paid at maturity in December 2016. The notes are subordinated to all indebtedness of the Company pursuant to its multi-year bank credit facility. In connection with the subordinated promissory notes, the Company issued 100,000 warrants to purchase the Company's common stock, including 20,000 warrants to REF Securities, LLP, 20,000 warrants to the Foundation and 10,000 warrants to Mr. Marinos. The warrants were exercisable through December 2016 at an exercise price of $3.51 per share. In 2014, 30,000 warrants were exercised, including 20,000 by the Foundation. No warrants were exercised in 2015 or 2016. In October 2016, in connection with the extension of the maturity dates of the subordinated promissory notes, the expiration date of the remaining 70,000 warrants was extended to December 31, 2018. The exercise price remained unchanged at $3.51 per share. The 70,000 warrants remain unexercised at March 31, 2017. In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company calculated the incremental fair value of extending the expiration date of the Notes and Warrants and determined that the amendment represented a debt modification in accordance with the guidance outlined in ASC-470, “Debt”. Using the Black-Scholes model, and the 10% test, the Company determined that the incremental fair value of the warrants to be $18,310 which was recorded as a reduction against the Notes and an increase in Additional Paid-in Capital. The discount on the notes is being recognized as non-cash interest expense over the term of the notes. The Company recorded $2,218 and $6,921 for three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 of non-cash interest expense related to the amortization of the discount. The unamortized discount which is net against the outstanding balance of the subordinated promissory notes is $15,771 at March 31, 2017 and $17,989 at December 31, 2016.
