Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note   F   -   Critical Accounting Policies  

 

Management Estimates and Uncertainties   -   The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates made in preparing the consolidated financial statements include depreciation and amortization periods, the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserves for inventory and valuation of long-lived assets.  Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition - Revenues from sales of the Company's electronic manufacturing services business are recognized when the finished good product is shipped to the customer.  In general, and except for consignment inventory, it is the Company's policy to recognize revenue and related costs when the finished goods have been shipped from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order.  Finished goods inventory for certain customers is shipped from the Company to an independent warehouse for storage or shipped directly to the customer and stored in a segregated part of the customer’s own facility.  Upon the customer’s request for finished goods inventory, the inventory is shipped to the customer if the inventory was stored off-site, or transferred from the segregated part of the customer’s facility for consumption or use by the customer.  The Company recognizes revenue upon such shipment or transfer.  The Company does not earn a fee for such arrangements.  The Company from time to time may ship finished goods from its facilities, which is also the same point that title passes under the terms of the purchase order, and invoice the customer at the end of the calendar month.  This is done only in special circumstances to accommodate a specific customer.  Further, from time to time customers request the Company hold finished goods after they have been invoiced to consolidate finished goods for shipping purposes.  The Company generally provides a 90 day warranty for workmanship only, except for products with proprietary design and does not have any installation, acceptance or sales incentives (although the Company has negotiated longer warranty terms in certain instances).  The Company assembles and tests assemblies based on customers’ specifications.  Historically, the amount of returns for workmanship issues has been de minimis under the Company’s standard or extended warranties.

 

Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is calculated as average cost.  In the event of an inventory write-down, the Company records expense to state the inventory at lower of cost or market.  The Company establishes inventory reserves for valuation, shrinkage, and excess and obsolete inventory.  The Company records provisions for inventory shrinkage based on historical experience to account for unmeasured usage or loss.  Actual results differing from these estimates could significantly affect the Company’s inventories and cost of products sold.  The Company records provisions for excess and obsolete inventories for the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated realizable value based on assumptions about future product demand and market conditions.  Actual product demand or market conditions could be different than that projected by management .

Note   F   -   Critical Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Goodwill   -   Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of assets acquired in business combinations.  The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment.  The Company is permitted the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events and circumstances indicates that it is more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value.  If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, the Company concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of any reporting unit is less than its corresponding carrying value then the Company is not required to take further action.  However, if the Company concludes otherwise, then it is required to perform a quantitative impairment test, including computing the fair value of the reporting unit and comparing that value to its carrying value.  If the fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step of the test is required to determine if recorded goodwill is impaired.  The Company also has the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for goodwill in any period and proceed directly to performing the quantitative impairment test.  The Company will be able to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period.  The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test as of February 1, 2014 and determined that no impairment existed as of that date.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - The Company reviews long-lived assets, including amortizable intangible assets for impairment.  Property, machinery and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment.  If events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment, the Company’s impairment review is based on an undiscounted cash flow analysis at the lowest level at which cash flows of the long-lived assets are largely independent of other groups of its assets and liabilities.  This analysis requires management judgment with respect to changes in technology, the continued success of product lines, and future volume, revenue and expense growth rates.  The Company conducts annual reviews for idle and underutilized equipment, and reviews business plans for possible impairment.  Impairment occurs when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be earned by the use of the asset group.  When impairment is indicated, the estimated future cash flows are then discounted to determine the estimated fair value of the asset or asset group and an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value.

 

Income Tax - Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred income tax assets to an amount more likely than not to be realized.

 

A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may only be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits.

Note  F   - Critical Accounting Policies - Continued

 

The Company adjusts its tax liabilities when its judgment changes as a result of the evaluation of new information not previously available.  Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from its current estimate of the tax liabilities.  These differences will be reflected as increase or decreases to income tax expense in the period in which they are determined.

 

New Accounting Standards:

 

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360)."  ASU 2014-08 amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations.  Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations or that have a major effect on the Company's operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations.  This new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-08 on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."  This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted.  Accordingly, we will adopt this ASU on May 1, 2017.  Companies may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU and we are currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the full impact this ASU will have on our future financial statements.

 

Note G   -   Subsequent Event

 

In August 2014 the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. agreed on a proposal to extend the existing senior secured credit facility for the existing three years from the date of closing.  The existing facility expires on October 31, 2015 .  Under the terms of the proposal , financial covenants will be amended, an unused line fee will be added and net borrowing interest rates will be reduced.  The Company expects the transaction will close by October 31, 2014.

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

 

In addition to historical financial information, this discussion of the business of SigmaTron International, Inc. (“SigmaTron”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries Standard Components de Mexico S.A., AbleMex, S.A. de C.V., Digital Appliance Controls de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., Spitfire Controls (Vietnam) Co. Ltd., Spitfire Controls (Cayman) Co. Ltd., wholly-owned foreign enterprises Wujiang SigmaTron Electronics Co., Ltd. and SigmaTron Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively, “SigmaTron China”) and international procurement office SigmaTron Taiwan branch (collectively, the “Company”) and other Items in this Quarterly Report on Form 10- Q contain forward-looking statements concerning the Company’s business or results of operations.  Words such as “continue,” “anticipate,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.  These forward-looking statements are based on the current expectations of the Company.  Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, the Company’s plans, actions and actual results could differ materially.  Such statements should be evaluated in the context of the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business including, but not necessarily limited to, the Company’s continued dependence on certain significant customers; the continued market acceptance of products and services offered by the Company and its customers; pricing pressures from the Company’s customers, suppliers and the market; the activities of competitors, some of which may have greater financial or other resources than the Company; the variability of our operating results; the results of long-lived assets and goodwill impairment testing; the variability of our customers’ requirements; the availability and cost of necessary components and materials; the ability of the Company and our customers to keep current with technological changes within our industries; regulatory compliance, including conflict minerals; the continued availability and sufficiency of our credit arrangements; changes in U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese or Taiwanese regulations affecting the Company’s business; the turmoil in the global economy and financial markets; the stability of the U.S., Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese and Taiwanese economic, labor and political systems and conditions; currency exchange fluctuations; and the ability of the Company to manage its growth.  These and other factors which may affect the Company’s future business and results of operations are identified throughout the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, a nd as risk factors, and may be detailed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These statements speak as of the date of such filings, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such statements in light of future events or otherwise unless otherwise required by law.

 

Overview:

 

The Company operates in one business segment as an independent provider of electronic manufacturing services , which includes printed circuit board assemblies and completely assembled (box-build) electronic products.  In connection with the production of assembled products, the Company also provides services to its customers, including (1) automatic and manual assembly and testing of products; (2) material sourcing and procurement; (3) manufacturing and test engineering support; (4) design services; (5) warehousing and distribution services; and (6) assistance in obtaining product approval from governmental and other regulatory bodies.  The Company provides these manufacturing services through an international network of facilities located in the United States, Mexico, China, Vietnam and Taiwan .

 

The Company relies on numerous third-party suppliers for components used in the Company’s production process.  Certain of these components are available only from single-sources or a limited number of suppliers.  In addition, a customer’s specifications may require the Company to obtain

18

 


 

Table of Contents

SigmaTron International, Inc.

July 31, 201 4

 

components from a single-source or a small number of suppliers.  The loss of any such suppliers could have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.  Further, the Company could operate at a cost disadvantage compared to competitors who have greater direct buying power from suppliers.  The Company does not enter into long-term purchase agreements with major or single-source suppliers.  The Company believes that short-term purchase orders with its suppliers provides flexibility, given that the Company’s orders are based on the changing needs of its customers.

 

Sales can be a misleading indicator of the Company’s financial performance.  Sales levels can vary considerably among customers and products depending on the t ype of services (consignment versus turnkey) rendered by the Company and the demand by customers.  Consignment orders require the Company to perform manufacturing services on components and other materials supplied by a customer, and the Company charges only for its labor, overhead and manufacturing costs, plus a profit.  In the case of turnkey orders, the Company provides, in addition to manufacturing services, the components and other materials used in assembly.  Turnkey contracts, in general, have a higher dollar volume of sales   for each given assembly, owing to inclusion of the cost of components and other materials in net sales and cost of goods sold . Variations in the number of turnkey orders compared to consignment orders can lead to significant fluctuations in the Company’s revenue and gross margin levels.  Consignment orders accounted for less than   5 % of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended July   31, 2014 and 2013 .

 

As the Company has stated previously , customers demand for product can be volatile and the Company experienced an unexpected short term slowdown in shipments during the quarter ended July 31, 2014.  Revenue was down from th e fourth quarter of fiscal 2014.  While there is some seasonality to the Company’s overall customer demand, this slowdown was unexpected going into the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and the Company believes it reflects the continuing volatility of customer demand and the short term focus of the economy.

 

The Company was able to manage to breakeven results for the quarter ended July 31, 2014 ,   in spite of the lower revenue in the quarter and the continuing pricing pressures in the market .  And furthermore, the Company is pleased to report that the revenue for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 has started out stronger than the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.  The Company suspects that the slowdown experienced in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 was primarily due to customers managing their inventories short term and are now back on track to their original forecasts.

 

The Company has recently been awarded new programs with existing customers that is expected to increase its business with them.  Also, several programs with new customers will launch during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 which should help set the stage for future revenue growth, which is important given   the pricing pressures the Company faces.  Even with continuing margin pressures the Company continues to see positive developments and anticipates improved results in the future.  The addition of the Spitfire engineering capability continues to be a positive for the Company as it attracts new customers in new markets and supports new programs with existing customers.  The Company will continue to plan for growth while managing the operations to be flexible to the volatile demand swings, with an eye on long term results.

 

On May 31, 2012, the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Spitfire.  Spitfire was a privately held Illinois corporation with captive manufacturing sites in Chihuahua, Mexico and suburban Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.  Both manufacturing sites were among the assets acquired by the Company.  Spitfire was an original equipment manufacturer of electronic controls, with a focus on the major appliance (white goods) industry.  Although North America is currently its primary market, Spitfire has applications that can be used worldwide.  The Company provided

19

 


 

Table of Contents

SigmaTron International, Inc.

July 31, 201 4

 

manufacturing solutions for Spitfire since 1994, and was a strategic partner to Spitfire as it developed its original equipment manufacturer electronic controls business.

 

The Company’s Spitfire division provides cost effective designs as control solutions for its customers, primarily in high volume applications of domestic cooking ranges, dishwashers, refrigerators, and portable appliances.  It is a member of the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturer as well as other industry related trade associations and is ISO 9001:2008 certified.  The acquisition has enabled the Company to offer design services for the first time in specific markets.

 

Due to the acquisition of Spitfire, effective June 1, 2012, the Company discontinued selling to Spitfire.  The Company instead began selling directly to Spitfire’s former customers.

 

The Company’s international footprint provides our customers with flexibility within the Company to manufacture in China, Mexico, Vietnam or the U.S.  We believe this strategy has continued to serve the Company well during these uncertain economic times as its customers continuously evaluate their supply chain strategies.

 

I n fiscal year s 2013 and 2014, the Company continued to see a trend of Chinese costs increasing, thereby making Mexico a more cost-competitive manufacturing location to service North America.  Indications suggest that this trend will continue.

 

Results of Operations:

 

Net Sales

 

Net sales de creased for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 to $ 54,947,477 from $ 56 , 166 , 061 for the three month period ended July 31, 2013 Sales volume de creased for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year in the industrial electronic s , fitness and gaming marketplace .  The de crease in sales for these marketplaces was partially offset by a n   in crease in sales in the telecommunications, a ppliance, medical/life sciences, semiconductor equipment and consumer electronics marketplaces.   Customer demand for product can be volatile and the Company experienced a   slowdown during the quarter ended July 31, 2014.  Sales were down from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 While there is some seasonality to the Company’s overall customer demand, this slowdown was unexpected going into the first quarter of fiscal 2015 and the Company believes it reflects the continuing volatility and the short term focus of the economy .

 

The Company is pleased to report that the sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 have started stronger than the first quarter of fiscal year 2015.  The Company suspects that the slowdown experienced in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily due to customer s managing their inventories shor t term and those customers are now back on track to their original forecast .  The Company has recently been awarded new programs with existing customers that is expected to increase its business with them.  Also, several programs with new customers will launch during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 which should help set the stage for future revenue growth, which is important given the pricing pressures the C ompany faces.

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit de creased during the three month period ended July 31, 2014 to $ 4,746,448 or 8.6% of net sales, compared to $ 6,288,408 or 11 . 2   % of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year .  The de crease in gross profit for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 was primarily the result of  d ecreased   sales to customers and continuing pricing pressures . As the Company concentrates on growth it will manag e its operations to be flexible to   volatile customer demand s and pricing pressures, with an eye on long term results.

 

Selling and Administrative Expenses

 

Sellin g and administrative expenses de creased to $ 4,514,211 or   8.2% of net sales for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 , compared to $ 4, 85 5, 558 or 8 . 6 % of net sales for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The net de crease f or the three month period ended July 31, 2014 was approximately $ 341,000 .     Bonus expense, legal fees and sales salaries accounted for approximately $ 310,000 of   the decrease in selling and administrative expense for the quarter ended July 31, 2014.  The de crease in the for egoing selling and administrative expense s   was partially offset by a n   in crease in purchasing, accounting and IT   salaries, and additional expenses at the Elgin location .

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense increased to $ 256,547 for the three month period ended July 31, 201 4 compared to $ 213,960 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The in crease in interest expense for the three month period ended July 31, 201 4 was due to in creased borrowings under the Company’s banking arrangements and   capital lease obligations.  Interest expense for future quarters may increase if interest rates or borrowings, or both, increase.  

 

Taxes

 

The i ncome tax benefit from operations was $ 1,244   for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 compared to an income tax expense of $ 272,875 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The income tax benefit for the three month period ended July 31, 2014 is a result of lower pre-tax income for the period compared to the quarter ended July 31, 2013.  The Company’s effective tax rate was negative 8% and 22% for the quarter ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate between periods was driven by the tax benefit of the pre-tax loss in the U.S. which offsets a higher level of pre-tax income by foreign subsidiaries, which are subject to lower statutory tax rates.  

 

Net Income

 

Net income was $ 16,810   for the three month period ended July 31, 201 4 compared to net income of $ 967 , 464   for the same period in the prior fiscal year. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 201 4 were $ 0.0 0   compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0. 24 for the same pe riod in the prior fiscal year.

The Company provides funds for salaries, wages, overhead and capital expenditure items as necessary to operate its wholly-owned Mexican, Vietnam and Chinese subsidiaries and the Taiwan   internat ional procurement office.  The Company provides funding, as needed, in U.S. dollars, which are exchanged for Pesos, Dong, Renminbi, and New Taiwan dollars .  The fluctuation of currencies from time to time, without an equal or greater increase in inflation, could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.  The impact of currency fluctuation for the quarter ended July 31 ,   201 4   resulted in a foreign currenc y   loss of approximately $ 76, 900 compared to a foreign currency gain of approximately $8,000 for the same period in the prior year During the first three months of fiscal year 201 5 , the Company’s U.S. operations paid approximately $ 12,200,000   to its foreign subsidiaries for services provided.

 

The Company has not recorded U.S. income taxes for a significant portion of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, since these earnings have been, and under current plans will continue to be, permanently reinvested in these foreign subsidiaries.  The cumulative amount of unremitted earnings for which U.S. income taxes have not been record ed is approximately $ 13 ,000,000 .   The Company’s intent is to keep unrepatriated funds indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States and current plans do not demonstrate a need to fund U.S. operations.

 

The Company anticipates that its credit facilities, cash flow from operations and leasing resources are adequate to meet its working capital requirements and capital expenditures for fiscal year 2015 at the Company’s current level of business.  The Company has received forecasts from current customers for increased business that would require additional investment in inventory, capital equipment and facilities.  To the extent that these forecasts come to fruition, the Company intends to meet any increased capital requirements by seeking an increase in its secured line of credit or raising capital from other sources of debt or equity.  In addition, in the event the Company expands its operations, its business grows rapidly, the current economic climate deteriorates, customers delay payments, or the Company consummates an acquisition, additional financing resources would be necessary in the current or future fiscal years.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain equity or debt financing at acceptable terms, or at all, in the future.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain or complete the pending renewal of its credit agreements in the future, or that any retention or renewal will be on the same terms as currently exist .
