Explanatory Note

On March 25, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Modifying Exemptions from the Reporting and Proxy Delivery Requirements for Public Companies, (Release No. 34-88465) (the “Order”), which provides conditional relief to public companies that are unable to timely comply with certain filing obligations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”) delayed the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (this “Quarterly Report”) in reliance on the Order.

The Company's operations and business have experienced disruptions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the various measures that the countries in which the Company conducts operations have taken in response. The Company has implemented widespread work-from-home arrangements for many of its employees, who are mainly located in the United States, Europe and China. In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report, the Company experienced delays in its normal processes and interactions among its accounting personnel and others responsible for preparation of this Quarterly Report. As a result, this Quarterly Report for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which prior to the Order was due on May 11, 2020, has been filed on June 1, 2020.

Perceptron, Inc. (the “Company”) develops, produces and sells a comprehensive range of automated industrial metrology products and solutions to manufacturers for dimensional gauging, dimensional inspection and 3D scanning.  The Company’s products provide solutions for manufacturing process control as well as sensor and software technologies for non-contact measurement, scanning and inspection applications.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and within the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  In the Company’s opinion, these statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the periods presented.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full fiscal year.  The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions under U.S. GAAP during the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements.  These estimates and assumptions may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the 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.  

In particular, management has made estimates and assumptions related to the impact of the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") on its business. COVID-19 was characterized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. To help lessen its spread, many countries have implemented travel restrictions and/or required companies to limit or suspend business operations. These actions have disrupted supply chains and company operations around the world. The current environment resulting from COVID-19 is unprecedented and comes with a great deal of uncertainty. See Note 19 “COVID-19 Pandemic” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, an error was identified related to the accounting for the Company’s deferred tax liabilities associated with certain amortizable intangible assets acquired in 2015.  The error related to not appropriately reducing the associated deferred tax liabilities for the tax effect of amortization on the intangible assets since 2016.  The error was immaterial to the Company’s previously issued financial statements, but the cumulative correction would have had a material effect on the 2019 financial statements.  Accordingly, the results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 have been adjusted to incorporate the revised amounts, where applicable.  See Note 1, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.

2.New Accounting Pronouncements  

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) (ASU 2016-13), which requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date to be based on historical experience, current conditions as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts.  In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASU 2018-19).  ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of ASU 2016-13.  ASU 2016-13, as amended, is effective for the Company on July 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not expect the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 to be material on its consolidated financial statements.

11


In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-13 – Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirement for Fair Value Measurement (ASU 2018-13), which changes the disclosures related to, among other aspects of fair value, unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurement and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty.  ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.  

In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2018-15 – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract (ASU 2018-15), which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal use software.  ASU 2018-15 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2020.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-11—Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (ASU 2019-11). The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify, correct errors in, or improve the Codification. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications. The effective dates and transition requirements for ASU 2019-11 are the same as ASU 2016-13. ASU 2019-11 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2023. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2019-12—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (ASU 2019-12). The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In January 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2020-01—Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint  Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815 (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2020-01). The amendments in this ASU clarify certain interactions between the guidance to account for certain equity securities under Topic 321, the guidance to account for investments under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323, and the guidance in Topic 815, which could change how an entity accounts for an equity security under the measurement alternative or a forward contract or purchased option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or the fair value option in accordance with Topic 825, Financial Instruments. These amendments improve current GAAP by reducing diversity in practice and increasing comparability of the accounting for these interactions. ASU 2020-01 is effective for the Company on July 1, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 Leases (ASU 2016-2), which establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months.  The Company adopted this guidance on July 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.  

The adoption of the standard resulted in the recognition of net operating lease right-of-use assets of $4.0 million and operating lease liabilities of $3.9 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of July 1, 2019 primarily related to the Company’s real estate operating leases.  The operating lease right-of-use asset includes the impact of deferred rent.  The Company does not have any finance leases.

The Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients upon transition, which includes no reassessment of whether existing contracts are or contain leases and allowed for the lease classification for existing leases to be retained. The Company did not elect the practical expedient to use hindsight, and accordingly the initial lease term did not differ under the new standard versus prior accounting practice.  After transition, in certain instances, the cost of renewal options will be recognized earlier in the term of the lease than under the previous lease accounting rules.  The Company has selected as its accounting policy to keep leases with a term of twelve months or less off the balance sheet and recognize these lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

See Note 10 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Leases” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the impact of the new standard.

12


In February 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-02—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2018-02), which allows for a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.  ASU 2018-02 was adopted on July 1, 2019 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

3.Goodwill

Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is reviewed at least annually in the fourth quarter of each year using data as of March 31 of that year, or earlier if an event occurs or circumstances change and there is an indicator of impairment.  The impairment test consists of comparing a reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying value. A reporting unit is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment.  Goodwill is recorded in the Company’s CMM reporting unit.  A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of goodwill impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in expected future cash flows; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; unanticipated competition; and the testing for recoverability of a significant asset group. The Company’s goodwill impairment analysis also includes a comparison of the aggregate estimated fair value of all reporting units to the total market capitalization. Therefore, the Company’s stock may trade below its book value and a significant and sustained decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization could result in goodwill impairment charges.

The quantitative goodwill impairment test contains estimates regarding future revenue growth and expense levels.  To the extent that actual results do not meet projected results, it could result in a material impairment to goodwill which could negatively impact the Company’s results of operations.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company completed its annual goodwill impairment testing. The impairment test consisted of a quantitative assessment due to a decrease in the Company’s stock price in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and uncertainty with future revenue growth primarily due to companies postponing decisions about purchasing new capital goods such as CMMs.  Based on the results of the fiscal 2019 annual impairment test, the fair value of the Company’s CMM reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $6.0 million due to the lack of projected growth in the sales of its Off-Line Measurement Solutions.  This impairment is not deductible for income tax purposes.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined there was a triggering event caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative impairment test as of March 31, 2020. The estimated fair value for the CMM reporting unit was determined using the income approach.  With the income approach, fair value is determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at an appropriate risk-adjusted rate. The future cash flows were based upon internal forecasts and include an estimate of long-term future growth rates based on the most recent views of the long-term outlook for the business. Other significant assumptions and estimates used in the income approach include terminal growth rates future estimates of capital expenditures, and changes in future working capital requirements. There is inherent uncertainty associated with these key assumptions including the duration of the economic downturn associated with COVID-19 and the recovery period. Such projections are considered Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy and contain management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period. The result of the goodwill impairment test indicated the fair value of the Company’s CMM reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash goodwill charge of $1.7 million, which is not deductible for tax purposes.

Goodwill was recorded on the local books of the Company’s CMM reporting unit. The Company’s goodwill balance was zero and $1.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

4.Intangible Assets

The Company acquired intangible assets consisting of a Trade Name and Customer/Distributor Relationships in addition to goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of Coord3 and NMS in the third quarter of fiscal 2015 which is considered the Company’s CMM reporting unit.  Furthermore, the Company continues to develop intangibles, primarily software. These assets are susceptible to shortened estimated useful lives and changes in fair value due to changes in their use, market or economic changes, or other events or circumstances.  The amortization periods for customer/distributor relationships, trade name and software are five years, ten years and five years, respectively. 

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, due to the impairment indicators discussed in Note 3, the Company assessed whether the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets in the CMM reporting unit (the asset group) may not be recoverable and therefore may be impaired. To assess the recoverability, the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group were analyzed over a range of potential remaining useful lives with the customer relationships as the primary asset.  The result was that the asset group carrying value exceeded the sum of the undiscounted cash flows.  After a fair value analysis, the Company determined that the trade name and customer relationships were impaired. The Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss related to these definite-lived intangible assets of $1.4 million. There were no impairment indicators for other long-lived assets subject to amortization in fiscal 2019.

 

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company determined there was a triggering event caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions.  As a result, the Company assessed whether the carrying amounts of its long-lived assets in the CMM reporting unit (the asset group) may not be recoverable and therefore may be impaired.  To assess the recoverability, the undiscounted cash flows of the asset group were analyzed over a range of potential remaining useful lives with the tradename as the primary asset. The result was that the asset group carrying value exceeded the sum of the undiscounted cash flows.  After a fair value analysis, it was determined the trade name was not recoverable and was impaired.  As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss of $0.5 million.

Contract Balances

 

Deferred commissions – The Company’s incremental direct costs of obtaining a contract, which consist primarily of sales commissions, are deferred and amortized based on the timing of revenue recognition over the period of contract performance.  As of March 31, 2020, capitalized commissions of $314,000 were included in “Other current assets” on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Commission expense recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $50,000 and $467,000, respectively, is included in “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  Commission expense recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $136,000 and $694,000, respectively, is included in “Selling, general and administrative expense” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

 

15


The change in the Company’s net Unbilled receivables / (Deferred revenue) from July 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020 was primarily due to the amount of revenue recognized as the Company satisfied performance obligations during the nine months ended March 31, 2020, partially offset by the amount and timing of invoicing during that same timeframe related to the Company’s Measurement Solutions and 3D Scanning Solutions.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized revenue of $4,892,000 that was included in “Deferred revenue” at July 1, 2019. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized revenue of $4,990,000 that was included in “Deferred revenue” at July 1, 2018.

 

6.Short-Term and Long-Term Investments

As of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company held restricted cash in short-term bank guarantees.  The restricted cash provides financial assurance that the Company will fulfill certain customer obligations in China.  The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use while the related bank guarantee is outstanding.  Interest is earned on the restricted cash and recorded as interest income.  As of March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the Company had short-term bank guarantees of $323,000 and $258,000, respectively.

At March 31, 2020, the Company held a long-term investment in preferred stock that is not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The preferred stock investment is currently recorded at $725,000 after consideration of impairment charges recorded in fiscal years 2008 and 2009.  At March 31, 2020 there were no changes to the carrying value of the investment resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment in the issuer.

The following table presents the Company’s Short-Term and Long-Term Investments by category at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 (in thousands):

7.Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” is applicable for all financial assets and liabilities as well as nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis.  ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires specific disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Company’s financial instruments include investments classified as available for sale, mutual funds, fixed deposits and certificate of deposits at March 31, 2020.

 

ASC 820 establishes a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect the Company’s assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs).  These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

 

(1)

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

(2)

Level 2 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

(3)

Level 3 – Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable and reflect management’s estimates and assumptions.

 

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following table presents the Company’s investments at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 that are measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of ASC 820 (in thousands).  The fair value of the Company’s short-term investments approximates their cost basis.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect these estimates. At March 31, 2020, the Company did not record any other-than-temporary impairments on its financial assets required to be measured on a recurring basis.

 

The Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  These assets are tested for impairment when events or circumstances occur which may indicate that the derived fair value is below carrying cost or on an annual basis in accordance with applicable GAAP.  For these assets, the Company does not periodically adjust carrying value fair value except in the event of an impairment.  

 

See Note 3 “Goodwill” and Note 4 “Intangible Assets”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of a triggering event caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions as of  March 31, 2020, which required full impairment of the Company’s Goodwill and Trade Name.

8.Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  The Company provides a reserve for obsolescence to recognize inventory impairment for the effects of engineering change orders, and for age and use of inventory that affect the value of the inventory.  The reserve for obsolescence creates a new cost basis for the impaired inventory.  When inventory that has previously been impaired is sold or disposed of, the related obsolescence reserve is reduced resulting in the reduced cost basis being reflected in cost of goods sold.  A detailed review of the inventory is performed annually with quarterly updates for known changes that have occurred since the annual review.  Inventory, net of reserves of $1,860,000 and $1,778,000 at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, is comprised of the following (in thousands):

10. Leases

 

The Company leases office space for its manufacturing, sales and service operations, vehicles and office equipment under operating leases. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases.

 

In accordance with Accounting Standard Codification Topic 842 (“ASC 842”), the Company has elected not to apply ASC 842 to arrangements with lease terms less than 12 months.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are reflected within the captions “Right-of-use assets”, “Short-term operating lease liability” and “Long-term operating lease liability”, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Right-of-use assets, Short-term operating lease liability and Long-term operating lease liability were $3,660,000, $462,000 and $3,249,000 as of March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

When readily determinable, the discount rate used to calculate the lease liability is the rate implicit in the lease. Otherwise the Company applied judgement and used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at lease commencement.

 

Some of the leases include one or more renewal or termination options at the Company’s discretion, which are included in the determination of the lease term if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise the option.

 

18


There were no Right-of-use leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Lease expense, recorded in the cost of sales and selling, general & administrative expense categories in the Consolidated Statement of Operations total $158,000 and $527,000 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Cash paid for operating leases was $186,000 and $551,000 during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, and is included in operating cash flows.

11.Warranties

In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions generally carry a one to three-year warranty for parts and a one-year warranty for labor and travel related to warranty.  Product sales to the forest products industry carry a three-year warranty for TriCam® sensors.  Sales of ScanWorks® have a one-year warranty for parts.  Sales of WheelWorks® products have a two-year warranty for parts. Off-Line Measurement Solutions generally carry a 12-month warranty after the machine passes the acceptance test or a 15-month warranty from the date of shipment, whichever date comes first, on parts only. The Company provides reserves for warranties based on its experience and knowledge.

Factors affecting the Company’s warranty reserve include the number of units sold or in service as well as historical and anticipated rates of claims and cost per claim.  The Company periodically assess the adequacy of its warranty reserve based on changes in these factors.  If a special circumstance arises which requires a higher level of warranty, the Company makes a special warranty provision commensurate with the facts.  Changes to the Company’s warranty reserve are as follows (in thousands):

12.Credit Facilities

The Company had $2,500,000 outstanding under its lines of credit at March 31, 2020.  The Company had zero borrowings outstanding under its lines of credit at June 30, 2019.

19


On December 4, 2017, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Chemical Bank (“Chemical”), and related documents, including a Promissory Note.  The Loan Agreement is an on-demand line of credit and is cancelable at any time by either the Company or Chemical and any amounts outstanding would be immediately due and payable.  The Loan Agreement is guaranteed by the Company’s U.S. subsidiaries.  The Loan Agreement allows for maximum permitted borrowings of $8.0 million.  The borrowing base is calculated at the lesser of (i) $8.0 million or (ii) the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances of U.S. customers and subject to limitations, certain foreign customers, plus the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $3.0 million. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s available borrowing under this facility was approximately $3.2 million. Security for the Loan Agreement is substantially all of the Company’s assets in the U.S.  Interest is calculated at 2.65% above the 30 day LIBOR rate. The Company is not allowed to pay cash dividends under the Loan Agreement.        

The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary (“Brazil”) has a credit line and overdraft facility with its current local bank.  Brazil can borrow a total of B$300,000 (equivalent to approximately $58,000).  The Brazil facility is cancelable at any time by either Brazil or the bank and any amounts then outstanding would become immediately due and payable.  The monthly interest rate for the facility is 13.94% for the first B$200,000 (equivalent to approximately $39,000) utilized and 3.49% for utilization between B$200,000 and B$300,000. The Company had no borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

13.Severance, Impairment and Other Charges

In January 2018, a judge in a trade secrets case brought by the Company granted the defendants’ motions for recovery of their attorney fees (see Note 18, “Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion relating to this matter).  A charge in the amount of $675,000 was recorded as a liability in the second quarter of fiscal 2018.  The Company appealed this court decision.  In January 2019, the Company settled with the defendants and ended its appeal in return for a net payment due to them in the amount of $66,000.  As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adjusted the accrual.  

In the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer resigned and the Company had a reduction in force in the U.S.  The resignation and the action resulted in an accrual of $471,000 of severance expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2019.  

In February 2020, the Company committed to a financial improvement plan that reduced global headcount by approximately 7%.  The plan was implemented to re-align the Company’s fixed costs and its near-to-mid-term expectations for the Company’s business. As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company recorded a charge for severance and related costs of $590,000.  At March 31, 2020, the remaining balance of the reserve was $468,000.

See Note 3 “Goodwill” and Note 4 “Intangible Assets”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of a triggering event caused by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions as of  March 31, 2020.

15.Other Long-Term Liabilities

Other long-term liabilities at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 include $439,000 and $556,000, respectively, for long-term contractual and statutory severance liabilities acquired as part of the purchase of Coord3 that represent amounts that will be payable to employees upon termination of employment.

16.Stock-Based Compensation

The Company maintains a 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”) covering substantially all company employees, non-employee directors and certain other key persons.  The 2004 Plan is administered by a committee of the Company’s Board of Directors: The Management Development, Compensation and Stock Option Committee (“MDCSOC”).

Awards under the 2004 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units, performance share awards, director stock purchase rights and deferred stock units, or any combination thereof.  The terms of the awards are determined by the MDCSOC, except as otherwise specified in the 2004 Plan.  

Stock Options

Options outstanding under the 2004 Plan generally become exercisable at 33.3% per year beginning one year after the date of grant and expire ten years after the date of grant.  Option prices from options granted under these plans must not be less than the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes model for determining stock option valuations.  The Black-Scholes model requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which affect the calculated values.  The expected term of option exercises is derived from historical data regarding employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior.  The risk-free rate of return is based on published U.S. Treasury rates in effect for the corresponding expected term.  The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price.  These factors could change in the future, which would affect the stock-based compensation expense in future periods.  

The Company recognized operating expense for non-cash stock-based compensation costs related to stock options in the amount of $33,000 and $138,000 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 respectively.  The Company recognized operating expense for non-cash stock-based compensation costs related to stock options in the amount of $59,000 and $342,000 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 respectively.  As of March 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options amounted to approximately $73,000.  The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.6 years.

The Company granted zero and 33,000 stock options in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.  The Company granted 8,000 stock options in both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.  The Company received no cash from option exercises under its share-based payment arrangements for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.  The Company received approximately $124,000 and $318,000 in cash from option exercises under its share-based payment arrangements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019, respectively.

The estimated fair value as of the date options were granted during the periods presented, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, is shown in the table below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

The Company’s restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2004 Plan generally have been awarded by four methods, as follows:

(1)

Awards that are earned based on achieving certain individual and financial performance goals during the initial fiscal year with either a subsequent one-year service vesting period or with a one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance, provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting;

(2)

Awards that are earned based on achieving certain revenue and operating income results with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting;  

(3)

Awards to non-management members of the Company’s Board of Directors with a subsequent one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the service of the non-management member of the Board of Directors has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting, and

(4)

Awards that are granted with a one-third vesting requirement on the first, second and third anniversaries of the issuance provided the individual’s employment has not terminated prior to the vesting date and are freely transferable after vesting, including restricted stock units granted as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 and Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.

The grant date fair value associated with granted restricted stock is calculated in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.  Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the grant date authorized by the Company’s MDCSOC, multiplied by the number of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards expected to be issued and vested and is amortized over the combined performance and service periods.  The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, was $33,000 and $221,000, respectively. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2019 was $47,000 and $191,000, respectively.  As of March 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards is approximately $102,000. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.0 years.

A summary of the status of restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards outstanding at March 31, 2020 is presented in the table below.

Performance Stock Units

During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) as part of the Fiscal Year 2020 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan.  The Performance Measures were defined by the Committee as a specific target level of Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation for each of the following: fiscal year 2020, fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2022.  Up to one-third of the PSUs can be earned each year, determined based upon actual performance levels achieved in that year. One half of the award earned each year is based upon the achievement of the two Performance Targets in that year, provided that a minimum level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation is achieved for that year.  The actual award level for each year can range from 50% to 150% (for Revenue Target) or 75% to 200% (for Operating Income Target) of the target awards depending on actual performance levels achieved in each year compared to that year’s target. If Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation is less than 75% of the targeted Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation for the year, then no PSU’s will vest for that year and the PSU’s vesting that year will expire.

22


During the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees PSUs as part of the Fiscal Year 2019 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, up to one-third of which could be earned in plan year 2019 (October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019), fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2021 upon the achievement of a specific target level of Revenue and a threshold and specific target level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation.  For plan year 2019, actual Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation did not meet the plan year 2019 targets, resulting in the forfeiture of PSU’s vesting in plan year 2019.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company’s MDCSOC granted certain employees PSUs as part of the Fiscal Year 2018 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, up to one-third of which could be earned in fiscal 2018, fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020 upon the achievement of a specific target level of Revenue and a threshold and specific target level of Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation.  For fiscal year 2019, actual Revenue and Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation did not meet the fiscal 2019 targets, resulting in the forfeiture of PSU’s vesting in fiscal 2019.

The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for PSU’s issued under the Company’s Fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plans for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 was zero, because, at this time, the Company estimates that the level of actual performance, as measured against the Operating Income Before Incentive Compensation target levels for fiscal year 2020, will be less than 75%, of the threshold performance level required for the vesting of these awards in fiscal 2020. The non-cash stock-based compensation expense recorded for these PSU awards for both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 was zero.  As of March 31, 2020, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to these PSU awards is approximately $126,000. The Company expects to recognize this cost over a weighted average vesting period of 1.5 years.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2019, the MDCSOC granted PSUs to the Company’s interim President and Chief Executive Officer in lieu of a portion of his cash compensation.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded expense related to these PSU’s of $33,000.

A summary of the status of the PSUs outstanding at March 31, 2020 is presented in the table below.

Board of Directors Fees

 

The Company’s Board of Directors’ fees are typically payable in cash on September 1, December 1, March 1, and June 1 of each fiscal year; however, under the Company’s 2004 Plan each director can elect to receive stock in lieu of cash on a calendar year election. Each of the Company’s Directors elected a combination of cash and stock for calendar year 2020.  During the nine month of fiscal year 2020, the Company issued 28,273 shares to its directors and recorded expense of $128,000.  

 

17.Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Other obligations, such as stock options and restricted stock awards, are considered to be potentially dilutive common shares.  Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of potential dilutive common shares outstanding during the period and adjusts for any changes in income and the repurchase of common shares that would have occurred from the assumed issuance, unless such effect is anti-dilutive.  The calculation of diluted shares also takes into account the average unrecognized non-cash stock-based compensation expense and additional adjustments for tax benefits related to non-cash stock-based compensation expense. Furthermore, the Company excludes all outstanding options to purchase common stock from the computation of diluted EPS in periods of net losses because the effect is anti-dilutive.

23


Options to purchase 19,000 and 76,300 shares of common stock outstanding in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive. Options to purchase 21,500 and 110,576 shares of common stock outstanding in the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

18.Commitments and Contingencies

The Company may, from time to time, be subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary course of its business.  The Company accrues for estimated losses arising from such litigation or claims if it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. To estimate whether a loss contingency should be accrued by a charge to income, the Company evaluates, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the loss. Since the outcome of litigation and claims is subject to significant uncertainty, changes in the factors used in the Company’s evaluation could materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is currently unaware of any significant pending litigation other than the matters set forth below.

In May 2017, a judge in a trade secrets case brought by the Company, granted the defendants’ motions for summary disposition.  In January 2018, the judge granted defendants’ motions for recovery of their attorney fees in the amount of $675,000, plus interest.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a charge in the amount of $675,000 relating to this matter.  The Company appealed this court’s decision to grant summary disposition and the award of the attorney fees.  In January 2019, the Company settled with the defendants and ended its appeal in return for a net payment due to them in the amount of $66,000.  As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adjusted its accrual and paid the settlement amount in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 (see Note 13 “Severance, Impairment and Other Charges” for further discussion).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) completed a Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Returns (GST/HST) audit. Based on this audit, the CRA preliminarily proposed to assess the Company approximately CAD $1,218,000 (equivalent to approximately $863,000) in taxes plus interests and penalties related to sales from 2013 through 2018.  CRA has indicated that the Company is entitled to invoice its customers to recover this amount and its customers are required to remit payment.  The Company’s response to the CRA preliminary assessment was delivered in April 2018. In June 2018, the Company received the final assessment, which confirmed the preliminary assessment.  In August 2018, the Company filed a formal appeal request and posted a surety bond as security for this claim.  The Company has not recorded an accrual related to this preliminary audit finding because the Company is disputing several of the CRA’s conclusions and because, the Company expects to ultimately receive the funds from its customers (excluding any interest or penalties), although there may be a timing difference between when the Company must pay the CRA and when the Company collects the funds from its customers.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company identified a potential concern regarding the residency status of certain U.S. employees as it relates to payroll taxes and withholdings in their country of residency.  The Company estimated the range of correcting this issue, including interest and penalties to range from $0.2 million to $0.3 million.  The Company is not able to reasonably estimate the amount within this range that the Company would be required to pay for this matter.  The reserve balance is $0.3 million as of March 31, 2020.    

19.COVID-19 Pandemic

In March of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. In North America, Europe, Asia and Brazil (the Company’s primary markets), federal, state and local governments have recommended or mandated actions to slow the transmission of COVID-19.  These actions include the implementation of shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, and restrictions that prohibit non-essential employees from occupying their place of work. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spread and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility in the global economy and financial markets, resulting in a significant reduction in both economic activity and employment levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the global automotive industry. The Company, along with many of the Company’s customers and suppliers, temporarily closed or limited operations at production facilities. The Company’s revenues have been significantly and negatively affected by the closure of automotive facilities during the quarter. Further, negative financial results, an economic downturn or uncertainty, or a tightening of credit markets caused by COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could have a material adverse effect on liquidity, ability to effectively meet short- and long-term financial obligations, and accounting estimates. Although the Company expects most automotive operations the Company supports to resume in the coming weeks, the extent to which normal purchasing activities by the Company’s customers will return remains uncertain. Any further delays in resumption of activity from customers and any future wave of COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could further adversely affect the Company’s business. In response, the

24


Company has implemented cost reduction efforts to help mitigate the impact on the business including reducing discretionary spending and various other measures.

The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on the business, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will depend on a number of evolving factors that the Company may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by governments and customers and suppliers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity. As such, it is uncertain as to the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations. The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce. Given the daily evolution of the COVID-19 outbreak and the global responses to curb its spread, the Company is not able to estimate the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on its results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company observed negative macroeconomic indicators resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a direct impact on the business. The Company determined this constituted a triggering event that required an assessment of goodwill, and intangible assets subject to amortization to determine if an impairment loss may have occurred. The Company qualitatively assessed whether it was more likely than not that these assets were impaired as of March 31, 2020. Where considered necessary, the Company reviewed previous forecasts and assumptions based on current projections, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including projected revenue, projected operating income, terminal growth rates, and the cost of capital. Based on the interim impairment assessment as of March 31, 2020, the Company has determined that goodwill and trade name related to the CMM reporting unit were fully impaired. See Note 3 “Goodwill” and Note 4 “Intangible Assets”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details. The Company's assumptions about future conditions important to its assessment of potential impairment, including the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, are subject to uncertainty, and the Company will continue to monitor these conditions in future periods as new information becomes available, and will update its analyses accordingly.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. The CARES Act is aimed at providing emergency assistance and health care for individuals, families, and businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and generally supporting the U.S. economy. The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions related to net operating loss carryback periods, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The CARES Act did not have material impact on the Company’s income tax provisions for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2020. The Company plans on taking advantage of the cash deferral programs available for payment of federal and state income taxes.  The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of the CARES Act on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.  Additionally, on April 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured loan pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act.  See Note 20 “Subsequent Events”, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for details of the PPP Loan.

20. Subsequent Events

 

On April 16, 2020, the Company entered into an unsecured loan with TCF National Bank in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million (the “PPP Loan”), pursuant to the “PPP” under the “CARES Act”.

 

The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) dated April 16, 2020. The PPP Loan matures two years from the disbursement date and bears interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing six months after the disbursement date and may be prepaid by the Company at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.

 

Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP which is dependent upon the Company having initially qualified for the loan. Furthermore, the loans issued under PPP are subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds are used for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits, and certain rent, utility, and mortgage interest expenses incurred or paid during an eight week period (the “Covered Period”) following the disbursement date (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. The Company expects to be able to use a significant portion, but not all, of the PPP Loan proceeds for Qualifying Expenses.  In addition, the amount of the PPP Loan otherwise eligible for forgiveness will be reduced as a result of provisions of the PPP that reduces the amount of loan forgiveness if the number of full-time equivalent employees during the Covered Period is less than in certain prior periods specified in the CARES Act. Any portion of the PPP Loan that is not used for Qualifying Expenses or is not otherwise forgiven is expected to be repaid on the terms set forth above. Because the details for forgiveness of the PPP Loan are still being developed by the Small Business Administration and analyzed by us, the Company cannot be certain as to the amount of the PPP Loan that will be forgiven.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT

Certain statements in this report, including statements made in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, may be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including our expectations regarding the possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on general economic conditions, public health, and global automotive industry, and the Company’s results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, and general performance in the future, the potential impact of COVID-19 on our customers generally and their plans for retooling projects in particular, our fiscal year 2020 and future results, operating data, new order bookings, revenue, expenses, net income and backlog levels, trends affecting our future revenue levels, the rate of new orders, the timing of revenue and net income increases from new products which we have recently released or have not yet released, the timing of the introduction of new products and our ability to fund our fiscal year 2020 and future cash flow requirements.  We may also make forward-looking statements in our press releases or other public or shareholder communications.  Whenever possible, we have identified these forward-looking statements by words such as “target,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “prospects,” “outlook,” “guidance” or similar expressions.  We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for all of our forward-looking statements.  While we believe that our forward-looking statements are reasonable, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Because these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control or are subject to change, actual results could be materially different.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including those listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2019, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any obligation to publicly update or alter our statements whether as a result of new information, events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or otherwise.  

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Perceptron, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) develops, produces and sells a comprehensive range of automated industrial metrology products and solutions to manufacturing organizations for dimensional gauging, dimensional inspection and 3D scanning.  Our primary operations are in North America, Europe and Asia.  All of our products rely on our core technologies and are divided into the following:

3D Scanning Solutions - laser scanner products that target the digitizing, reverse engineering, inspection and original equipment manufacturers wheel alignment sectors.

The largest end-use sector we serve is the automotive industry.  New automotive tooling programs represent the most important selling opportunity for our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions.  The number and timing of new vehicle tooling programs vary based on the plans of the individual automotive manufacturers.  The existing installed base of In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions also provides a continuous revenue stream in the form of system additions, upgrades and modifications as well as Value Added Services such as customer training and support.  

Our Off-Line Measurement and 3D Scanning Solutions are utilized by a wide variety of targeted industrial customers, with the automotive industry representing the largest source of customers for industrial metrology products.  

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, an error was identified related to the accounting for our deferred tax liabilities associated with certain amortizable intangible assets acquired in 2015.  The error relates to not appropriately reducing the associated deferred tax liabilities for the tax effect of amortization on the intangible assets since 2016.  The error was immaterial to our previously issued financial statements, but the cumulative correction would have had a material effect on the 2019 financial statements.  Accordingly, the results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and the year ended June 30, 2018 have been adjusted to incorporate the revised amounts, where applicable.  See Note 1, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements” contained in Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K

26


for further discussion and Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Accounting Policies” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on the impact of the revision.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic poses significant risks to our business. See Note 19 “COVID-19 Pandemic” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business. The ongoing global public health actions attempting to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are creating and may continue to create significant disruptions to our operations, our customer and supplier relationships, and general global economic conditions. Accordingly, we are closely monitoring and adjusting for the impact of COVID-19 on our global operations, communicating with and monitoring the actions of our customers and suppliers, and reviewing our near-term financial performance as we manage the Company through the uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the last three months, first in China and then in Europe and the United States, the Company either closed or limited operations at its facilities due to local government mandates requiring citizens to shelter-in-place, as have its customers and suppliers.  During that period, our employees have continued to operate remotely and, in some cases, on site with customers where allowable.  The Company is gradually reopening previously closed facilities and plans to resume full operational capacity at all its facilities, as permitted by law. We expect to incur some additional costs as we resume operations in order to comply with government requirements and guidelines. We expect to be able to fund these costs as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” below. We believe that the Company currently has sufficient raw material and finished goods inventory to support customer demand and, to date, have experienced minimal disruption to our supply chain. We have implemented cost reduction efforts to help mitigate the impact on our business including reducing discretionary spending and various other measures. Some of our orders from customers have been delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and we may continue to experience such delays. Delays in these orders could affect our ability to fund our business solely through near-term revenue, our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and our existing lines of credit. To help provide us with additional liquidity in the U.S. during this period and in light of economic uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, we applied for and received a loan under the U.S. government Paycheck Protection Program. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” for a description of this loan.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” titled “The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and may continue to disrupt our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.”

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2019

Overview – We reported net loss of $(3.9) million, or $(0.41) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared with revised net loss of $(1.0) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, for the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  

Our quarterly results vary from quarter to quarter and are dependent upon delivery and installation schedules determined by our customers.  These schedules are customer directed, and we have limited to no ability to control schedule changes.  

Bookings – Bookings represent new orders received from our customers.  We expect the level of new orders to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and do not believe new order bookings during any particular period are indicative of our future operating performance.  

Bookings by geographic location were (in millions):

The decrease in bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019 of $2.3 million, including an unfavorable currency impact of $0.3 million, is primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 on the timing of orders from our customers, particularly in China beginning in the early portion of the quarter and the United States and Europe near the end of the quarter. This contributed to a decrease of $1.4 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.8 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions and a decrease of $0.1 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions in the quarter.  On a geographic basis, the $1.7 million decrease in our Asia region is primarily due to a decrease of $1.6 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions and a decrease of $0.1 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions. The $1.0 million decrease in our Americas region is primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.1 million

27


in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services.  The $0.4 million increase in our Europe region is primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions and a decrease of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services.  

We expect the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on bookings to continue at least through the end of fiscal 2020 and potentially thereafter.

BacklogBacklog represents orders or bookings we have received but have not yet been filled, that is, our unsatisfied performance obligations as of the reporting date.  We believe that the level of backlog during any particular period is not necessarily indicative of our future operating performance.  Although most of the backlog is subject to cancellation by our customers, we expect to fill substantially all of the orders in our backlog.

Sales – Net sales of $12.7 million for the third quarter of our fiscal year 2020 decreased $2.9 million, or (18.6%), including an unfavorable currency impact of $0.2 million, when compared to the same period a year ago.  The decrease is primarily due to the effects of COVID-19 on bookings and delivery dates for orders from our customers, particularly in China beginning in the early part of the quarter and the United States and Europe near the end of the quarter.  This contributed to a decrease of $1.7 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.7 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.3 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions, and a decrease of $0.2 million in our Value Added Services.  On a geographic basis, the decrease of $1.4 million in our Asia region is primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions and a decrease of $0.1 million in our Value Added Services.  The decrease of $1.4 million in our Europe region is primarily due to a decrease of $0.8 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.3 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.2 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.1 million in our Value Added Services.  The decrease of $0.1 million in our Americas region is primarily due to a decrease of $0.2 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions and a increase of $0.1 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions.

We expect the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on net sales to continue at least through the end of fiscal 2020 and potentially thereafter.

Gross Profit – Gross profit percentage was 34.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to 32.7% in the same period a year ago.  The higher gross profit percentage in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the mix of revenue and lower fixed manufacturing costs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses – SG&A expenses were approximately $4.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $0.4 million compared to the same period a year ago.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in our legal expenses of $0.8 million and a decrease in amortization expense of $0.2 million due to the impairment charges recorded at June 30, 2019 in our goodwill and intangible assets. These decreases are partially offset by an increase in other third party expenses of $0.4 million and an increase in employee-related expenses of $0.2 million.  

29


Engineering, Research and Development (R&D) Expenses – Engineering, research and development expenses were approximately $1.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $0.3 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2019.  The decrease is primarily due to decreases in employee-related costs as a result of our restructuring in February 2020.

Severance, Impairment and Other Charges – Severance, impairment and other charges for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 were $2.8 million, an increase of $2.8 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase is primarily due to impairment charges in the amount of $1.7 million and $0.5 million against our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, respectively, as well as severance expenses in the amount of $0.6 million in third quarter of fiscal 2020. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Severance, Impairment and Other Charges” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net – Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net was a loss of $0.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 compared to a $0.1 million net loss in third quarter of fiscal 2019.  The net loss in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily related to changes in the values of the Brazilian Real in relation to the US Dollar.

Income TaxesOur effective tax rate for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was (8.1%) compared to a revised (16.2%) in the third quarter of fiscal year 2019.  We have previously established full valuation allowances against our U.S. Federal, Germany, Japan and Brazil net deferred tax assets.  The effective tax rates in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were impacted by not recognizing tax expense on pre-tax income or tax benefits on pre-tax losses in some of the jurisdictions where we have previously established full valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2020 Compared to Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019

 

Overview – We reported net loss of $2.6 million, or $(0.26) per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared with revised net income of $1.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, for the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  

 

Bookings – Bookings represent new orders received from our customers.  We expect the level of new orders to fluctuate from quarter to quarter and do not believe new order bookings during any particular period are indicative of our future operating performance.

The decrease in bookings in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019 of $8.1 million, including an unfavorable currency impact of $1.1 million, is primarily due to declines in orders from customers as a result of a slowing of the global automotive industry, most recently resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  This contributed to a decrease of $5.1 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $1.6 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.8 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.6 million in our Value Added Services.  On a geographic basis, the $6.1 million decrease in our Europe region is primarily due to a decrease of $4.0 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $1.6 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions, a decrease of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services, and a decrease of $0.2 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions.  The $3.7 million decrease in our Asia region is primarily due to a decrease of $3.1 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions and a decrease of $0.6 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions.  The $1.7 million increase in our Americas region is primarily due to an increase of $2.0 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services.

Sales – Net sales of $49.7 million for the first nine months of our fiscal year 2020 decreased $8.9 million, or (15.2%), including an unfavorable currency impact of $1.0 million, when compared to the same period a year ago.  The decrease is primarily due to reduced bookings and delays in delivery dates for orders from our customers, as a result of a slowing of the global automotive industry, most recently resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.  This contributed to a decrease of $4.1 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $4.0 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.5 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions, and a decrease of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services.  On a geographic basis, the decrease of $3.5 million in our Europe region is primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $1.4 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, and a decrease of $0.6 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions.  The decrease of $3.0 million in our Asia region is primarily due to a decrease of $2.9 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.2 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, partially offset by an increase of $0.1 million in our 3D Scanning Solutions.  The decrease of $2.4 million in our Americas region is primarily due to a decrease of $2.3 million in our In-Line and Near-Line Measurement Solutions, a decrease of $0.3 million in our Value Added Services, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in our Off-Line Measurement Solutions.

 

Gross Profit –Gross profit percentage was 37.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to 36.3% in the same period a year ago.  The higher gross profit percentage in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to the mix of revenue and the impact of our cost reduction initiatives.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses – SG&A expenses were approximately $12.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1.4 million compared to the same period a year ago.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in our legal expenses of $1.1 million, a decrease in amortization expense of $0.6 million due to the impairment charges recorded at June 30, 2019 in our goodwill and intangible assets, and a decrease of other third party expenses of $0.5 million, partially offset by an increase in building-related expenses of $0.8 million.

 

31


Engineering, Research and Development (R&D) Expenses – Engineering, research and development expenses were approximately $4.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2019.  The decrease is primarily due to decreases in employee-related costs of $0.9 million as well as a decrease of $0.3 million in building-related expenses.  

Severance, Impairment and Other Charges – Severance, impairment and other charges for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 were $3.3 million, an increase of $3.9 million compared to the same period of fiscal 2019. The increase is primarily due to impairment charges in the amount of $1.7 million and $0.5 million against our goodwill and definite-lived intangible assets, respectively, as well as severance expenses in the amount of $1.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the reversal of a legal accrual in the amount of $0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. See Note 13 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Severance, Impairment and Other Charges” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion.

 

Interest Expense, net – Net interest expense was $0.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to an immaterial amount in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. The expense was primarily due to increased usage of the U.S. credit facility during the

first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2019.

 

Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net – Foreign Currency Gain (Loss), net was a loss of $0.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to a $0.2 million loss in first nine months of fiscal 2019.  The loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 was primarily related to the values of the Brazilian Real and Indian Rupee in relation to the US Dollar.

 

Other Income and (Expense), net – Other Income was $0.1 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to an immaterial amount in the first nine months of fiscal 2019.  

 

Income TaxesOur effective tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal year 2020 was (5.7%) compared to 2.4% in the first nine months of fiscal year 2019.  We have previously established full valuation allowances against our U.S. Federal, Germany, Japan and Brazil net deferred tax assets.  The effective tax rates in fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were impacted by not recognizing tax expense on pre-tax income in some of the jurisdictions where we have previously established full valuation allowances against our net deferred tax assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund product development and capital expenditures as well as support working capital requirements. In general, our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under available credit facilities.

Cash on Hand.  Our cash and cash equivalents were $10.6 million at March 31, 2020, compared to $4.6 million at June 30, 2019.  Of this cash and cash equivalents, $6.3 million or approximately 60%, was held in foreign bank accounts at March 31, 2020.  See “Capital Resources” below.  

Cash Flow.  The $6.0 million increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash from June 30, 2019 to March 31, 2020 resulted from $3.2 million of cash provided by operating activities, $2.5 million provided by financing activities, $0.4 million cash provided by investing activities and $0.1 million unfavorable impact from changes in exchange rates.

Cash provided by investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 is due to the net sales of short-term investments of $2.6 million partially offset by purchases of short-term investments of $1.5 million and capital expenditures of $0.6 million, including development of intangibles, of $0.2 million.

During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2020, cash provided by operations resulted from our net loss of $0.6 million favorably adjusted by $1.8 million of non-cash items and by cash outflows related to working capital changes of $2.0 million.

Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 is primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million of borrowings outstanding under our lines of credit.

The changes in working capital primarily represented a $3.1 million decrease in billed and unbilled receivables and, a $1.3 million decrease in payables.

Working Capital Reserves.  We provide a reserve for obsolescence to recognize inventory impairment for the effects of engineering change orders as well as the age and usage of inventory that affect the value of the inventory.  The reserve for obsolescence creates a new cost basis for the impaired inventory.   When inventory that has previously been impaired is sold or disposed, the related obsolescence reserve is reduced resulting in the reduced cost basis being reflected in cost of goods sold.  A detailed review of the

32


inventory is performed annually with quarterly updates for known changes that have occurred since the annual review.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we increased the reserve for obsolescence modestly. 

We determine our allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, our previous loss history, our customer’s current ability to pay their outstanding balance due to us, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  We write off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. During the nine months ended March 31, 2020, we increased the allowance for doubtful accounts modestly.

Investments.  At March 31, 2020, we had short-term investments totaling $0.3 million and a long-term investment recorded at $0.7 million compared to short-term investments totaling $1.4 million and a long-term investment recorded at $0.7 million at June 30, 2019.  See Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Short-Term and Long-Term Investments” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information on our investments and their current valuation.  The market for our long-term investment is currently illiquid.  We have $0.3 million of our short-term investments serving as collateral for bank guarantees for certain customer obligations in China. The cash is restricted as to withdrawal or use while the related bank guarantees are outstanding. Interest is earned on the restricted cash and recorded as interest income.

Credit Facilities.  We had $2.5 million outstanding under the lines of credit at March 31, 2020.  We had zero borrowings outstanding under the lines of credit at June 30, 2019.      

On December 4, 2017, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Chemical Bank (“Chemical”), and related documents, including a Promissory Note.  The Loan Agreement is an on-demand line of credit and is cancelable at any time by either us or Chemical and any amounts outstanding would be immediately due and payable.  The Loan Agreement is guaranteed by our U.S. subsidiaries.  The Loan Agreement allows for maximum permitted borrowings of $8.0 million.  The borrowing base is calculated at the lesser of (i) $8.0 million or (ii) the sum of 80% of eligible accounts receivable balances of U.S. customers and, subject to limitations, certain foreign customers, plus the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory or $3.0 million. At March 31, 2020, our available borrowing under this facility was approximately $3.2 million. Security for the Loan Agreement is substantially all of our assets in the U.S.  Interest is calculated at 2.65% above the 30-day LIBOR rate. We are not allowed to pay cash dividends under the Loan Agreement. We had $2.5 million and zero borrowings outstanding under our Loan Agreement at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. We have explored increasing the amount of available borrowings under our lines of credit, but do not believe that it is currently available due to uncertainties surrounding COVID-19.

The Company’s Brazilian subsidiary (“Brazil”) has a credit line and overdraft facility with their current local bank.  Brazil can borrow a total of B$0.3 million (equivalent to approximately $0.1 million).  The Brazil facility is cancelable at any time by either Brazil or the bank and any amounts then outstanding would become immediately due and payable.  The monthly interest rate for the facility is 13.94% for the first B$0.2 million utilized and 3.49% for utilization between B$0.2 million and B$0.3 million. We had no borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies.  In May 2017, a judge in a trade secrets case brought by us granted the defendants’ motions for summary disposition and in January 2018 granted their motion for recovery of their attorney fees in the amount of $0.7 million, plus interest.  In the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a charge in the amount of $0.7 million relating to this matter.  We appealed this court’s decision to grant summary disposition and the award of attorney fees.  In January 2019, we settled with the defendants and ended our appeal in return for a net payment due to them in the amount of $0.1 million.  As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2019, we adjusted our accrual and paid the settlement amount in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 (see Note 13, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Severance, Impairment and Other Charges” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

In the third quarter of fiscal 2018, the Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) completed a Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Returns (GST/HST) audit.  Based on this audit, the CRA has preliminarily proposed to assess us approximately C$1.2 million (equivalent to approximately $0.9 million) in taxes related to sales from 2013 through 2018. CRA has indicated that we are entitled to invoice our customers to recover this amount and our customers are required to remit payment.  In addition, we will be charged interest and penalties if this preliminary finding is finalized.  Our response to the CRA was delivered in April 2018.  In June 2018, we received the final assessment, which confirmed the preliminary assessment.  In August 2018, we filed a formal appeal request and posted a surety bond as security for this claim.  We did not record an accrual related to this preliminary audit finding because we are disputing several of the CRA’s conclusions and because we expect to ultimately receive the funds from our customers (excluding any interest or penalties), although there may be a timing difference between when we must pay the CRA and when we collect the funds from our customers.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we identified a potential concern regarding the residency status of certain U.S. employees as it relates to payroll taxes and withholdings in their country of residency. We estimated the range to correct this issue, including interest and penalties to range from $0.2 million to $0.3 million. We are not able to reasonably estimate the amount within this range that we would be required to pay for this matter. The reserve balance is $0.3 million as of March 31, 2020.

See Note 18, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  See Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” and Note 16, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Commitments and Contingencies” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019 for a discussion of certain other contingencies relating to our liquidity, financial position and results of operations.  See also, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies - Litigation and Other Contingencies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019.

Capital Spending.  We spent $0.4 million on capital equipment and $0.2 million on intangible projects in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 compared to $0.8 million on capital equipment and $0.3 million on intangible projects in the first nine months of fiscal 2019. We continue to closely analyze all potential capital projects and review the project’s expected return on investment.

Capital Resources.  At March 31, 2020, we had $10.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of which $6.6 million, or approximately 61%, was held in foreign bank accounts. We have not been repatriating our foreign earnings. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”) was enacted by the U.S. The Act implements comprehensive tax legislation which, among other changes, imposes a tax on the untaxed foreign earnings of foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies by deeming those earnings to be repatriated (the “Transition Tax”). Foreign earnings held in the form of cash and cash equivalents are taxed at a 15.5% rate and the remaining earnings are taxed at an 8% rate. We completed our evaluation and related calculations related to the Transition Tax during the second quarter of fiscal 2019, which confirmed our previous conclusion that our foreign tax credits would completely offset any tax calculated. As a result, we have not made any cash payments related to the Transition Tax. As a result of the Act and the payment of any Transition Tax due, we may be in a position to repatriate our past and future foreign earnings to the U.S. in a more cost-effective manner than under prior law, which could positively impact our liquidity in the U.S. Any such repatriation may be subject to taxation under foreign laws or the laws of the State of Michigan.  We have determined not to repatriate such earnings at this time because of the associated costs to do so and the financial requirements of our subsidiaries outside the United States.  See Note 20, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Income Taxes,” and Item 1A, “Risk Factors” titled “We may have additional tax liabilities, which could change our effective tax rate and have a significant adverse impact on our business”, contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019 for further discussion.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic. We are continuously reviewing our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of the uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic. As described in Part I, Item 1, Note 20 “Subsequent Events,” to provide additional liquidity during this period and in light of economic uncertainties posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into a loan with TCF National Bank on April 16, 2020 (the “PPP Loan”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”).  The PPP Loan was in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 million. The PPP Loan is evidenced by a promissory note (the “Note”) dated April 16, 2020. The PPP Loan matures two years from the disbursement date and bears interest at a rate of 1.000% per annum, with the first six months of interest deferred. Principal and interest are payable monthly commencing six months after the disbursement date and may be prepaid by us at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties.  We can apply for forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. The loans issued under PPP are subject to forgiveness to the extent proceeds are used for payroll costs, including payments required to continue group health care benefits, and certain rent, utility, and mortgage interest expenses incurred or paid during an eight week period (the “Covered Period”) following the disbursement date (collectively, “Qualifying Expenses”), pursuant to the terms and limitations of the PPP. We expect to be able to use a significant portion, but not all, of the PPP Loan proceeds for Qualifying Expenses.  In addition, the amount of our PPP Loan otherwise eligible for forgiveness will be reduced as a result of provisions of the PPP that reduces the amount of loan forgiveness if the number of the our full-time equivalent employees during the Covered Period is less than in certain prior periods specified in the CARES Act.

Any portion of the PPP Loan that is not used for Qualifying Expenses or is not otherwise forgiven is expected to be repaid on the terms set forth above. Because the details for forgiveness of the PPP Loan are still being developed by the Small Business Administration and analyzed by us, we cannot be certain as to the amount of the PPP Loan that will be forgiven.  

In connection with the PPP Loan, as required by the CARES Act, we certified that “current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant.” While we believe we are eligible for the PPP Loan, in the event it was determined that we were not eligible for the PPP Loan, it is possible we would be required to repay the PPP Loan on an accelerated basis, rather than over two years provided under the PPP Loan promissory note, and at a higher interest rate than 1.000% per annum. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” titled “As a borrower under the Paycheck Protection Program our eligibility for and forgiveness of that loan is likely to be reviewed by the SBA.”  

As a result of our PPP Loan, utilization of our existing credit facility with Chemical, continued collection of customer receivables, and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, we believe we have sufficient cash resources to fund our operations until we are able to resume full operations and our revenues and cash flows normalize, which we expect to be later this calendar year. Our expectations are based upon our internal projections about the global automotive industry and related economic conditions, as well as our current understanding of our key customers’ plans for retooling projects.  If our key customers’ plans differ from our understanding or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic varies from our expectations, our results of operations and financial condition

34


could be more negatively impacted.  See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” titled “The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and may continue to disrupt our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of critical accounting policies is presented in Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019, which are unchanged as of March 31, 2020.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

For a discussion of new accounting pronouncements, see Note 2, of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “New Accounting Pronouncements” contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described in Item 9A of our 2019 Form 10-K, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2020. Notwithstanding the material weakness described above, management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that the consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal years presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP.

Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) that occurred during the first nine months of 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than as described below under the caption “Remediation Plan.”

Remediation Plan. We have initiated a remediation plan to address the control deficiency that led to the material weakness mentioned above. The remediation plan includes the following:

 

Implementing specific review procedures, including the added involvement of our newly engaged external tax firm in the review of tax accounting, designed to enhance our income tax control; and

 

Strengthening our income tax control with improved documentation standards, technical oversight and training.

Our enhanced review procedures and documentation standards will be in place and operating during fiscal 2020. The material weakness cannot be considered remediated until the control has operated for a sufficient period of time and until management has concluded, through testing, that the control is operating effectively. We expect to remediate this material weakness by the end of fiscal year 2020.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes made to the risk factors listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2019, as supplemented by the risk factors listed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2019, except as follows:

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted and may continue to disrupt our business, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a global health crisis with widespread economic implications.  In North America, Europe, Asia and Brazil (our primary markets), federal, state and local governments have recommended or mandated actions to slow the transmission of COVID-19.  These actions include the implementation of shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, significant restrictions on travel, and restrictions that prohibit non-essential employees from occupying their place of work. There remains considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spread and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus. The COVID-19 pandemic has created significant volatility in the global economy and financial markets, resulting in a significant reduction in both economic activity and employment levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted, and may continue to disrupt, the global automotive industry, resulting in significantly lower sales and production volumes. The spread of COVID-19 has disrupted the manufacturing, delivery and overall supply chain of automobile manufacturers and suppliers. We, along with many of our customers and suppliers, temporarily closed or limited operations at production facilities, the impact of which is likely to negatively affect our results of operations and financial condition.  Further, negative financial results, an economic downturn or uncertainty, or a tightening of credit markets caused by COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, our ability to effectively meet our short- and long-term financial obligations, and our accounting estimates. Any further delays in resumption of production and other consumer activity affecting our customers and any future wave of COVID-19 or other similar outbreaks could further adversely affect our business. When both the Company and its customers resume production, order volumes may be volatile, creating the need for us to manage our suppliers, while continuing to ensure a continued supply of component parts for our products.  We have begun to evaluate new measures that could modify our current production environment to ensure continued health and safety of our workers, consistent with guidance provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. If we are unsuccessful in managing the re-start of our production, our results of operations could be materially impacted. The ultimate impact that COVID-19 will have on our business, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will depend on a number of evolving factors that we may not be able to accurately predict, including the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by governments and our customers and suppliers in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic activity. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the other factors described above make it more difficult for us to forecast customer requirements and provide guidance for the remainder of 2020.  Accordingly, any guidance we provide is likely to be less reliable than usual, and actual results are more likely to differ from any such guidance.  In light of the foregoing, investors are urged to put the guidance in context and not to place undue reliance on it.

We have adopted or modified, and will continue to adopt additional, business and workforce practices (including those related to employee travel, employee work locations, and cancellation of physical participation in meetings, events and conferences) and protocols, including those to promote social distancing and enhance sanitary measures in our facilities, to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities.  If a large proportion of our employees in critical positions were to contract COVID-19 or be quarantined as a result of the virus, at the same time, we would rely upon our business continuity plans in an effort to continue operations.  There is no certainty that the foregoing measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, in which case our employees or other individuals may become sick, our ability to perform critical functions could be harmed, and we may be unable to respond to some of the needs of our global business. Further, our increased reliance on remote access to our information systems increases our exposure to potential cybersecurity breaches.

As a borrower under the Paycheck Protection Program our eligibility for and forgiveness of that loan is likely to be reviewed by the SBA

On April 16, 2020, we entered into an unsecured loan with a bank in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.5 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program, (the “PPP”), under the CARES Act. In connection with this loan, we were required to certify that “current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant.” On April 23, 2020, the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) issued new guidance that questioned whether a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets would qualify to participate in the PPP.   The SBA guidance further indicates that borrowers “must make this certification in good faith, taking into account their current business activity and their ability to access other sources of liquidity sufficient to support their ongoing operations in a manner that is not significantly detrimental to the business.”  Subsequently, on April 29, 2020 the SBA issued guidance that it will review all PPP loans of more than $2 million,

36


following the lender’s submission of the borrower’s loan forgiveness application.  Under PPP, a portion of the PPP Loan is eligible for forgiveness if we were eligible for the PPP Loan, use the loan proceeds for eligible expenses and otherwise satisfy PPP requirements.  While we believe we are eligible for the PPP Loan, in the event it was determined that we were not eligible for the PPP Loan, it is possible we would be required to repay the PPP Loan on an accelerated basis, rather than over two years provided under the PPP Loan promissory note, and at a higher interest rate than 1.000% per annum.  If we were to be audited and receive an adverse finding in such audit, some or all of the PPP Loan might not be forgiven and we could be required to return or repay some or all of the PPP Loan, together with interest on the loan, which could reduce our liquidity, and potentially subject us to fines and penalties.

Subject:  Consent to SBA PPP Loan (“Consent”)

 

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of December 4, 2017 between Perception, Inc., a Michigan corporation (“Borrower”) and Chemical Bank, a division of TCF National Bank (“Bank”) (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Unless otherwise defined in this letter, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

Borrower has requested that Bank consent to its obtaining a loan (“SBA PPP Loan”) under the SBA’s Payment Protection Program established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act and the related rules and regulations, as applicable, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Applicable Provisions”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, including without limitation any restrictions on Borrower’s incurrence of Debt, Borrower is permitted to incur Debt in the form of an SBA PPP Loan.  In  addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents: (a) a SBA PPP Loan (other than interest thereon, to the extent not eligible for forgiveness) shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating any of the financial covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, provided, however, that, for purposes of such financial covenant calculations, if any portion of the SBA PPP Loan is not forgiven, the unforgiven portion of such SBA PPP Loan (i) will not be disregarded in such calculations and (ii) will be deemed to have been incurred as of the date on which Borrower receives the proceeds of the SBA PPP Loan, (b) the receipt by Borrower of the proceeds of the SBA PPP Loan shall not trigger a mandatory prepayment or constitute a prepayment event under the Credit Agreement and (c) the SBA PPP Loan is unsecured.

In consideration of the issuance of this Consent, Borrower covenants and agrees to (a) use all proceeds of the SBA PPP Loan exclusively for uses that are eligible for forgiveness under the Applicable Provisions and not maintain any such proceeds in a sweep or similar account, including, without limitation, any account that would sweep the funds and apply them to the Indebtedness, (b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its business in a manner that maximizes the amount of the SBA PPP Loan that may be forgiven under the Applicable Provisions, (c) maintain all records required to be submitted in connection with the forgiveness of the SBA PPP Loan, (d) apply for forgiveness of the SBA PPP Loan in accordance with the

Bodman_16694678_3


 

Applicable Provisions promptly following the first date on which Borrower may apply for such forgiveness by submitting its application and all related supporting documentation required by the SBA or the lender providing the SBA PPP Loan, (e) provide the Bank with a copy of such application and all such supporting documentation, promptly following submission.  Borrower agrees that the failure to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Consent shall constitute an additional Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.  

This Consent shall become effective (according to the terms hereof) on the date that the Bank shall have received fully executed signature pages of this Consent, in each case duly executed and delivered by Borrower.

Borrower hereby certifies to Bank as of the date hereof that (a) its execution and delivery of this Consent Letter are within its powers, have been duly authorized, are not in contravention of law or the terms of its organizational documents, and except as have been previously obtained do not require the consent or approval, material to the matters contemplated in this Consent Letter, of any governmental body, agency or authority, and this Consent will constitute valid and binding obligations on it enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, ERISA or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law), (b) the representations and warranties set forth in the Credit Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date hereof (except to the extent such representations specifically relate to an earlier date), provided that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be true and correct in all respects), and (c) on and as of the date hereof, upon giving effect to this Consent, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Except as expressly specifically set forth herein, this Consent not be deemed to amend or alter in any respect the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (including without limitation all conditions and requirements for Advances and any financial covenants) or any of the other Loan Documents, or to constitute a waiver or release by Bank of any right, remedy, Collateral, Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Furthermore, this Consent shall not affect in any manner whatsoever any rights or remedies of Bank with respect to any other non-compliance by Borrower or any other Loan Party with the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether in the nature of a Default or Event of Default, and whether now in existence or subsequently arising, and shall not apply to any other transaction.

This Consent may be executed in counterpart, in accordance with Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement.
