NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Inrad Optics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full fiscal year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

In preparing these consolidated financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

Management Estimates

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP which 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 reported in those financial statements. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate.  As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.  Significant changes, if any, in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the consolidated financial statements in future periods.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value, net of write-offs and allowances. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on estimates as to the collectability of accounts receivable. Management specifically analyzes past-due accounts receivable balances and, additionally, considers bad debt history, customer credit-worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Uncollectible accounts receivable are written-off when it is determined that the balance will not be collected. Reserves for uncollectible accounts receivable are recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, and were approximately $15,000 at June 30, 2018.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in-first-out basis) and net realizable value. The Company records a reserve for slow moving inventory as a charge against earnings for all products identified as surplus, slow-moving or discontinued. Excess work-in-process costs are charged against earnings whenever estimated costs-of-completion exceed unbilled revenues.

 

 

Inventories are comprised of the following and are shown net of inventory reserves, in thousands:

 

		June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
		(Unaudited)
Raw materials		$	1,029			$	1,174
Work in process, including manufactured parts and components			1,152				1,462
Finished goods			553				560
		$	2,734			$	3,196

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statements carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets in future periods, management considers the available positive and negative factors, including the Company’s recent operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and near term forecasts of future taxable income consistent with the plans and estimates that management uses to manage the underlying business. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred by the Company over the three year period ended December 31, 2017 and the six months ended June 30, 2018. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence such as our projections for future growth.

 

On the basis of this evaluation as of June 30, 2018, the Company’s management concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to realize any portion of the benefit on the net deferred tax balance of $3,477,000 and therefore the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance for the full amount of the net deferred tax balance. When sufficient positive evidence exists, the Company’s income tax expense will be charged with the increase or decrease in its valuation allowance. An increase or reversal of the Company’s valuation allowance could have a significant negative or positive impact on the Company’s future earnings.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not record a current provision for income taxes due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income for both federal and state tax purposes.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act eliminates alternative minimum taxes and lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax from 34% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. At December 31, 2017, the Company re-measured its net deferred tax assets using the new Federal Tax Rate and posted a one-time reduction of $1,765,000 in deferred tax assets and $1,765,000 to the valuation allowance to reflect the lower realization rate to be applied commencing in 2018.

 

Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding, calculated on the treasury stock method for options, stock grants and warrants using the average market prices during the period, including potential common shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes, except if the effect on the per share amounts is anti-dilutive.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, a total of 2,500,000 common shares and 1,875,000 common shares from warrants issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes, in addition to 183,141 and 100,641 common stock options, in each respective period, were excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net income per common share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, all common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive. This included 2,500,000 common shares and 1,875,000 common shares from warrants issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes, in addition to 911,341 and 901,341 common stock options, in each respective period.

 

A reconciliation of the shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is as follows:

 

		Three Months Ended June 30, 2018												Three Months Ended June  30, 2017

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation expense is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock units granted is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of these awards, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, is amortized over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting period.

 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition.” ASU 2014-09 is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue, cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Revenue from the Company’s sales continue to generally be recognized either when products are shipped (i.e. point in time) or under certain long-term government contracts, as the Company transfers control of the product or service to its customers (i.e. over time), which approximates the previously used percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As such, the adoption of ASU 2014-09 had no material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, the Company has now presented the disclosures required by this new standard, refer to Note 2.

 

In February 2016, the FASB created Topic 842 and issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. The guidance in this update supersedes Topic 840, Leases. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use assets and a lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments on the balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and disclosure.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which largely aligns the measurement and classification guidance for share-based payments to nonemployees with the guidance for share-based payments to employees. The ASU also clarifies that any share-based payment issued to a customer should be evaluated under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We do not expect the adoption of this accounting standard update to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – REVENUE

 

The Company’s revenues are comprised of product sales as well as products and services provided under long-term government contracts with its customers. All revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation(s) under the contract (either implicit or explicit) by transferring the promised product or service to its customer either when (or as) its customer obtains control of the product or service. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation, as the promise to transfer products or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the Company’s best estimate of standalone selling price for each distinct product or service in the contract, which is generally based on an observable price.

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring products or providing services. As such, revenue is recorded net of returns, allowances, customer discounts, and incentives. Sales, value add, and other taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net (excluded from revenues) basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

 

 

The Company’s performance obligations under long-term government contracts are generally satisfied over time. Revenue from products or services transferred to customers over time accounted for approximately 5.1% and 1.9% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Revenue under these long-term government contracts are generally recognized over time using an input measure based upon the proportion of actual costs incurred to estimated total project costs, which is a method used to best depict the Company’s performance to date under the terms of the contract.

 

Accounting for these long-term government contracts involves the use of various techniques to estimate total revenue and costs. The Company estimates profit on these long-term government contracts as the difference between total estimated revenue and expected costs to complete a contract and recognizes that profit over the life of the contract. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, among other things, labor productivity, costs and availability of materials, and timing of funding by the U.S. government. The nature of these long-term agreements may give rise to several types of variable consideration, such as claims, awards and incentive fees. Historically, these amounts of variable consideration are not considered significant. Additionally, contract estimates may include additional revenue for submitted contract modifications if there exists an enforceable right to the modification, the amount can be reasonably estimated and its realization is probable. These estimates are based on historical collection experience, anticipated performance, and the Company’s best judgement at the time. These amounts are generally included in the contract’s transaction price and are allocated over the remaining performance obligations. Changes in judgments on these above estimates could impact the timing and amount of revenue recognized with a resulting impact on the timing and amount of associated income. Under these long-term government contracts, the Company may receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. In the event a contract loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The majority of the Company’s revenue is from products and services transferred to customers at a point in time and were approximately 94.9% and 98.1% of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time in which the customer obtains control of the product or service, which is generally when product title passes to the customer upon shipment. In limited cases, title does not transfer and revenue is not recognized until the customer has received the products at its physical location.

 

As part of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, the Company reviewed its sales by market area and reassigned certain customers within the existing markets. In addition, the Universities and National Lab market was renamed to Scientific/R&D. Sales by market area, as previously presented for the six months ended June 30, 2017, were reclassified accordingly.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s sales by market area:

 

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2018				2017
Aerospace & Defense		$	1,425,288			$	1,453,721

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, sales were $3,114,000, up 63.4%, compared to $1,905,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Higher overall demand in the PC&M market resulted in sales increases to several large existing accounts in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year.

 

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, sales to customers in the laser systems market were $512,000, up $256,000 or 99.8% from $256,000 in the comparable period in 2017. For six months ended June 30, 2018, sales were $878,000 an increase by 55.1% compared to $566,000 in the same period in 2017. Shipments to one new customer in the second quarter of 2018 contributed to the overall increase.

 

Sales to customers in the Scientific/R&D market (formerly Universities & National Labs) were $260,000 and $609,000 a decrease of $289,000 or 52.6% and $238,000 or 28.1% respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to $549,000 and $846,000 the same periods last year, respectively. This resulted primarily from reduced shipments to two large National Laboratories.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, one customer in the process control and metrology market represented 10% or more of total sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, two customers each represented 10% or more of total sales. One customer was in the process control and metrology market and the other customer was in the defense/aerospace market.

Cost of Goods Sold

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, cost of goods sold was $2,145,000 and $2,160,000 respectively, a decrease of $15,000 or approximately 0.7 %. This represented 78.8% and 82.9% of sales, respectively.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, cost of goods sold were $4,597,000, an increase of $562,000 or 13.9% compared to $4,035,000 in the same period in 2017. The increase was mainly attributable to higher sales in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017. Cost of goods sold decreased, as a percentage of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 2017, representing 76.3% and 84.6%, respectively.

 

Material costs decreased by $212,000 or 32% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year as a result of both the increase in sales and the change in product mix to a lower material cost of sales. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, material costs were $1,313,000 and $1,029,000, respectively.

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, manufacturing salaries and wages and related fringe benefits increased by approximately 1.9% or $19,000 from the comparable period in 2017.

Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $579,000 or 21.2% of sales compared to $447,000 or 17.1% of sales in the same quarter last year. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $1,429,000 or 23.7% and $736,000 or 15.4% of sales, respectively.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A” expenses) in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 amounted to $525,000 or 19.3% of sales and $1,069,000 or 17.7% of sales respectively. This compared to $643,000 or 24.7% of sales and $1,183,000 or 24.8% of sales, respectively, for the same periods in 2017.

 

This represented a decrease of approximately $118,000 or 18.4% and $114,000 or 9.6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 from the comparable period last year. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower sales salaries and legal and accounting expenses. In addition, amortization of intangible assets was lower as the asset was fully depreciated in 2018.

 

 

Income (Loss) from Operations

 

The Company had a profit from operations of $54,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared with an operating loss of $196,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2017.

Income Taxes

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not record a current provision for income taxes due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable income for both federal and state tax purposes.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not record a current provision for either state tax or federal alternative minimum tax due to the losses incurred for both income tax and financial reporting purposes.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

The Company had a net income of $14,000 compared to a net loss of $236,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had net income of $278,000 compared with a net loss of $528,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Higher sales and a more profitable product mix, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, combined with lower SG&A expenses were the primarily factors in the increase in net income compared with the corresponding periods in the previous year.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s primary source of liquidity is cash and cash equivalents and on-going collection of accounts receivable. The Company’s major use of cash in recent years has been for financing operations, for payment of accrued and current interest on convertible debt, for servicing of long term debt and for capital expenditures.

 

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $698,000 and $800,000, respectively.

 

On April 12, 2018, the maturity dates of a $1,500,000 Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note to Clarex Limited (“Clarex”) and a $1,000,000 Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note to an affiliate of Clarex were each extended to April 1, 2021 from April 1, 2019. The notes bear interest at 6%. Interest accrues yearly and is payable on maturity. Unpaid interest, along with principal, may be converted into securities of the Company as follows: the notes are convertible in the aggregate into 1,500,000 units and 1,000,000 units, respectively, with each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant. Each warrant allows the holder to acquire 0.75 shares of common stock at a price of $1.35 per share. As part of the agreement, the expiration dates of the warrants were extended from April 1, 2022 to April 1, 2024. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had accrued interest in the amount of $112,500 associated with these notes.

 

 

The following table summarizes net cash (used in) operating, investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

 

		Six Months Ended
		June 30,
		2018				2017
		(In thousands)
Net cash used in operating activities		$	(8	)		$	(238	)
Net cash used in investing activities			(88	)			(28	)
Net cash used in financing activities			(6	)			(88	)
Net (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents		$	(102	)		$	(354	)

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in operations of $238,000 in the same period last year.

 

Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable, reductions in account payable and accrued liabilities, and lower contract liabilities which were offset by reduced inventory levels during the period.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $88,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $28,000 used in the same period last. Net cash used in financing activities was $6,000 and $88,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, related to required principal payments on other long term notes and reflecting the maturity of a term note payable to Valley National Bank in July 2017.

 

Overall, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $102,000 and $354,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Management believes based on the Company’s operations and its existing working capital resources together with existing cash flows, the Company has sufficient cash flows to fund operations through at least August 15, 2019.
