To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Ambrell Corporation:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ambrell Corporation (a New York corporation) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ambrell Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currencies of the Company's foreign operations are the local currencies. The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars. All balance sheet accounts have been translated using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts have been translated using the average exchange rate for each period. Accumulated net translation adjustments have been reported separately in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements.   Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in operations as realized.

 

Cash

Cash consists of bank demand deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits and the Company’s deposits in foreign countries are not federally insured. The Company has not experienced any losses in these accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to cash.

 

Accounts Receivable

The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to the majority of its customers. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful customer accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Allowances are estimated based upon historical experience, known or suspected financial condition of customers and current economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts totaled approximately $222,102 and $384,234 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Inventory

Inventory is comprised of raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods, and short-term rental and demo equipment recorded at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in first-out basis, or market.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided using the straight-line method over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life for leasehold improvements and over the estimated useful lives of the remaining assets, which range from three to seven years.

 

At the time property and equipment is replaced, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from their respective accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets for impairment when events or circumstances indicate their carrying amounts may not be recoverable by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows of the assets with the respective carrying amount as of the date of assessment. Should aggregate future cash flows be less than the carrying value, a write-down would be required, measured as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset. If the expected undiscounted future cash flows exceed the respective carrying amount as of the date of assessment, no impairment is recognized. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over fair value of net assets acquired through business combinations. The Company amortizes goodwill on a straight-line basis over a 10 year period. When events or circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired, goodwill is tested for impairment at the entity level. Impairment, if any, will be recognized for the difference between the fair value of the Company and its carrying amount and will be limited to the carrying amount of goodwill.

 

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names, technology, and In-Process Research and Development (IPR&D). The intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows and, if impaired, written down to fair value.

 

Product Warranties

The Company sells the majority of its products to customers along with repair or replacement warranties. The Company determines its estimated liability for warranty claims based on its historical experience. It is reasonably possible that the Company's estimate of the accrued product warranty claims will change in the near term. Estimated costs for product warranties are recognized at the date the revenue is recognized.

 

Customer Advances

Customer advances primarily represent advance payments received on products. Revenue from service contracts is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the related contract.

 

Derivative Instruments

The Company, as a result of its operating and financing activities, is exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which may adversely affect its results of operations and financial position. In seeking to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company may enter into derivative contracts.

 

The Company manages its foreign currency related risk primarily through the use of foreign currency forward contracts. The contracts held by the Company are denominated in Euros and British Pounds. The Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges of exchange rate risk related to forecasted foreign currency-denominated intercompany sales.

 

The Company recorded the fair value of the forward contracts on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded an unrealized loss of $791, net of the effect of income taxes of $600, as a cumulative effect adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income at December 31, 2016. At December 31, 2016, the Company had a cash flow hedge for 1,932 British Pounds with a maturity date in January 2017.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon transfer of title of product, which is generally upon shipment to the customer, and performance of services.

 

Sales Taxes

The Company collects and remits sales taxes during the normal course of business. These taxes are reported net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and therefore do not impact reported revenues or expenses.

 

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of goods sold.

 

Advertising

Advertising and marketing costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $208,000 and $204,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of property and certain accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair market value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements).

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

●     Level 1     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

●     Level 2     Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

 

 

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

 

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

 

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

●     Level 3     Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

 

At both December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair values for the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts are determined using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and are based on the expected future cash flows of the contracts.

 

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year information to conform to the current year presentation.
