NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016 (unaudited) and December 31, 2015 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.

3. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position.

4. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 34.2% and 31.8% for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate in 2015 primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”) to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. Under this update, all deferred income tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, are required to be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2015-17 and retrospectively reclassified $425,191 of current deferred income tax assets to long-term deferred income tax liability on the December 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2012 through 2015 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. No statutes have been extended on any of the Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2012 through 2015 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2016 through 2019, respectively.

The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2012 through 2015 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2019. The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

5. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method. A summary of inventories is as follows:

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

Results of Operations

Revenues for the first quarter of 2016 were $9,596,395 compared to $9,283,791 in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $312,604, or 3.4%. The increase is primarily attributable to strong machine sales and improved demand from automotive customers in China. A more profitable sales mix and favorable raw material prices resulted in improved gross margins compared to a year earlier. Net income was $647,057, or $0.67 per share, in the first quarter of this year compared to $462,473, or $0.48 per share, in the first quarter of 2015. In addition to a regular quarterly dividend of $0.18 per share, an extra dividend of $0.25 per share was paid in the first quarter based on the positive results achieved in 2015.

Fastener segment revenues were $8,447,329 in the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $46,832, or 0.6%, from $8,400,497 reported in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in sales reflects the modest growth in North American vehicle sales during the first quarter of 2016 and reduced demand for certain non-automotive parts. Overall, fastener segment overhead in the first quarter was consistent with the year earlier quarter, however, favorable raw material prices resulted in improved gross margins in the current year. The net impact of these factors was to increase fastener segment gross margin by $244,506.

Assembly equipment segment revenues were $1,149,066 in the first quarter of 2016 compared to $883,294 in the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $265,772, or 30.1%. The increase in revenue was primarily due to an increase in the number of machines shipped in the current year quarter compared to last year. The increase in revenue during the quarter, while keeping manufacturing costs comparable to the same period last year, resulted in an improvement in segment margins of $90,246 in the first quarter of 2016. As of the end of the first quarter, the machine order backlog has improved over that of a year earlier.

Selling and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2016 were $1,458,719, an increase of $32,894, or 2.3%, compared to $1,425,825 recorded in the first quarter of 2015. An increase in profit sharing expense, due to improved operating results, was primarily responsible for the change. Compared to net sales, selling and administrative expenses declined to 15.2% in the first quarter of 2016 from 15.4% in the first quarter of 2015.

Other Income

Other income in the first quarter of 2016 was $13,159, compared to $10,433 in the first quarter of 2015. The increase is primarily related to an increase in interest income on certificates of deposit.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 34.2% and 31.8% for the first quarter of 2016 and 2015, respectively. The 2015 rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital amounted to $15.6 million as of March 31, 2016, a decrease of approximately $0.1 million from the beginning of the current year. The largest component of the net change in the first quarter was accounts receivable, which increased by $0.7 million due to greater sales activity during the quarter, compared to the seasonally lower fourth quarter of 2015. Offsetting this change was an increase of $0.6 million in accounts payable, which relates to the greater level of activity in the quarter, and a reduction in prepaid income taxes of $0.3 million since the beginning of the year. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items was to leave cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at $7 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $7.4 million as of the beginning of the year. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.

Results of Operations Summary

We are pleased to report improvement in both sales and net income in the first quarter. Demand for our fastener segment products remains stable and is supported by a healthy domestic automotive market. Although the fastener

segment benefited from lower material prices during the first quarter of 2016, we have experienced some increases early in the second quarter that are difficult to mitigate. Our assembly equipment segment should benefit in the near-term from a machine order backlog which exceeds that of one year ago. Our financial condition remains sound and has allowed us to invest approximately $0.6 million in equipment and facilities improvements during the first quarter. We feel such investments are necessary to remain competitive and pursue opportunities to profitably grow our revenues and improve our bottom line. We will continue to make adjustments to our activities which we feel are necessary based on conditions in our markets, while maintaining an emphasis on quality and reliability of service our customers demand.

Forward-Looking Statements

This discussion contains certain “forward-looking statements” which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales to two major customers, risks related to export sales, the price and availability of raw materials, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
