PART I

Item 1.

Business

General

Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively the “Registrant” or the “Company”) design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.

The Company was incorporated in New York in 1959. In 1972, the Company was merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, thereby changing the Company’s state of incorporation from New York to Delaware.

The Company’s shares currently trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) MKT under the symbol SVT.

Products

Advanced Technology Products

The Company designs, manufactures and markets a variety of servo-control components which convert an electrical current into a mechanical force or movement and other related products. The principal servo-control components produced include torque motors, electromagnetic actuators, hydraulic valves, pneumatic valves and similar devices, all of which perform the same general function. These are sold principally to the commercial aerospace, aircraft and government related industries, as well as medical and industrial markets.

To fill most of its orders for components, the Company must either modify a standard model or design a new product in order to satisfy the customer’s particular requirements. The Company also produces unique products based on specifications provided by its customers. The Company produces under long-term contracts and other types of orders.

The Company may from time to time produce metallic seals of various cross-sectional configurations. These seals fit between two surfaces, usually metal, to produce a more secure and leak-proof joint. The Company manufactures these seals to close tolerances from standard and special alloy steels. Ductile coatings are often applied to the seals in order to increase their effectiveness.

The Company has also produced other products of its own and/or of a given design to meet customers’ requirements.

Consumer Products

The Company designs, manufactures and sells a variety of edged products, tools and specialty consumer products for domestic and international distribution. These products include a wide range of cutlery items such as steak, carving, bread, butcher and paring knives for household use and for use in restaurants, institutions and private industry, as well as equipment and gear including fixed and folding knives for hunting, fishing and camping. The Company also sells knives and tools to the U.S. Government, related agencies, and allied foreign governments. These products include machetes, bayonets, axes, strap cutters, and other tools that are designed primarily for military and rescue/first-responder use, but are viable in commercial markets as well. The Company also produces and markets other edged products such as various specialty tools, putty knives, linoleum sheet cutters, field knives and SciMed items including scalpels and micro-spatulas. The Company manufactures its products from stainless and high carbon steels, titanium, or synthetic materials in numerous styles, designs, models and sizes. Substantially all of the Company’s commercial related products are intended for the moderate to premium priced markets. The Company also provides plastic fabrication, metal fabrication and other engineering, design, and OEM/white-label manufacturing services to regional customers. This includes the production of a wide range of machined, engineered, and/or molded consumer and industrial products and components.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Advanced Technology Products

The Company’s Advanced Technology Group (ATG) products are marketed throughout the United States and in select foreign markets. Products are primarily non-seasonal in nature. These products are sold to the United States Government, government prime contractors, government subcontractors, commercial manufacturers and end-users. Sales are made primarily by the Company’s professional staff.

The Company’s prime contracts and subcontracts with the United States Government are subject to termination at the convenience of the Government. In the event of such termination, the Company is ordinarily entitled to receive payment for its costs and profits on work done prior to termination. Since the inception of the Company’s business, less than 1% of its Government contracts have been terminated for convenience. The Company’s sales of advanced technology products are composed primarily of a small group of customers with three customers accounting for 61% and 59% of the Company’s total revenue in 2016 and 2015, respectively. See Note 1, Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – Concentration of Credit Risks, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information related to sales concentrations.

Consumer Products

The Company’s consumer products are marketed throughout the United States and in select foreign markets. Consumer sales are moderately seasonal. Sales are direct to consumer, through national and international distributors, and through retailers such as big box, hardware, supermarket, variety, department, discount, gift, drug, outdoors and sporting stores. The Company’s Consumer Products Group (CPG) also sells its knives and tools (principally machetes, bayonets, survival knives and kitchen knives) to various branches of the United States Government which accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2016 and 2015. Additionally, the Company provides OEM and white label product design and manufacturing services to a regional customer base across a wide range of consumer and commercial industries. No single customer of the CPG represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2016 or 2015. The Company sells its products and manufacturing services through its own sales resources, independent manufacturers’ representatives and electronic commerce.

Business Segments

Business segment information is presented in Note 11, Business Segments, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Intellectual Properties

The Company has rights under certain copyrights, trademarks, patents, and registered domain names. In the view of management, the Company’s competitive position is not dependent on patent protection.

- 4 -

Research Activities

The amount spent by the Company in research and development activities during its 2016 and 2015 fiscal years was not significant, but the Company does take advantage of tax credits for research and development activities when available. Such activities are expensed as incurred.

Environmental Compliance

The cost of compliance with current environmental laws has not been material and the Company does not anticipate that it will be in the future.

Manufacturing

The Company manufactures its advanced technology products in Elma, New York and its consumer products in Franklinville, New York.

Raw Materials and Other Supplies

The Company purchases raw materials and certain components for its products from outside vendors. The Company is generally not dependent upon a single source of supply for any raw material or component used in its operations.

Competition

Although no reliable industry statistics are available to enable the Company to determine accurately its relative competitive position with respect to any of its products, the Company believes that it is a significant factor with respect to certain of its servo-control components within its competitive market. The Company’s share of the overall cutlery market is not significant.

The Company has many different competitors with respect to servo-control components because of the nature of that business and the fact that these products also face competition from other types of control components which, at times, can accomplish the desired result.

The Company encounters active competition with respect to its consumer products from numerous companies, many of which are larger in terms of manufacturing capacity, financial resources and marketing organization. Its principal competitors vary depending upon the customer and/or the products involved. The Company believes that it competes primarily with more than 20 companies with respect to its consumer products, in addition to foreign imports. To the Company’s knowledge, its principal competitors with regard to cutlery include World Kitchen, Inc., Benchmade Knife Company, Inc., Tramontina, Inc., Dexter-Russell Inc., W. R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company, Lifetime Hoan Corp., Cutco Corporation and Gerber. The Company also competes with other regional manufacturing companies for its molded plastic and metal and plastic fabrication services. To the Company’s knowledge, its principal competitors with regard to manufacturing services include PM Plastics, Monarch Plastics and Ontario Plastics.

The Company markets most of its products throughout the United States and to a lesser extent in select foreign markets. The Company believes that it competes in marketing its servo-control products primarily on the basis of operating performance, adherence to rigid specifications, quality, price and delivery and its consumer products primarily on the basis of price, quality and delivery.

Employees

The Company, at December 31, 2016, had 320 employees of which 307 are full time and are located in Western New York. Approximately 76% of its employees are engaged in production, inspection, packaging or shipping activities. The balance is engaged in executive, engineering, administrative, clerical or sales capacities. None are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Item 7.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Overview

The aviation and aerospace industries as well as markets for the Company’s consumer products continually face evolving challenges on a global basis. The operations of the Company can be affected by the trends of the economy, including interest rates, income tax laws, government regulation, legislation, and other factors. In addition, uncertainties in today’s global economy, competition from expanding manufacturing capabilities and technical sophistication of low-cost developing countries and emerging markets, currency policies in relation to the U.S. dollar of some major foreign exporting countries, the effect of terrorism, difficulty in predicting defense and other government appropriations, the vitality of the commercial aviation industry and its ability to purchase new aircraft, the willingness and ability of the Company’s customers to fund long-term purchase programs, volatile market demand and the continued market acceptance of the Company’s advanced technology and cutlery products make it difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.

Both the ATG and CPG markets are sensitive to domestic and foreign economic conditions and policies, which may create volatility in operating results from period to period. For example, the airline industry is sensitive to fuel price increases and economic conditions. These factors directly impact the demand for aircraft production as well as the amount of repair and overhaul required on in-service aircraft.

- 8 -

Government procurements are subject to Congressional appropriations and priorities that may change from year to year. Such changes could result in, but are not limited to, the expansion and/or contraction of Government procurement requirements, a reduction in funding, the continuation or termination of existing programs, the introduction of new programs requiring the funds that were originally directed to current programs, a stretch-out in Government delivery requirements or such other U.S. Government determinations that could result in increases or reductions of Government purchase orders for the ATG and/or the CPG products.

The Company’s suppliers are also subject to all the pressures and volatility being generated by the current global economic conditions. Any interruption of the Company’s continuous flow of material and product parts that are required for the manufacture of the Company’s products could adversely impact the Company’s ability to meet the Company’s customers’ delivery requirements. Consistent with the evolving requirements of the Aerospace Industry, companies are increasingly being requested to operate under Long-Term Agreements with their Customers on the basis of fixed prices, targeted year to year price reductions and/or year to year price adjustments predicated on mutually agreed indices and/or a combination of some or all of the above described pricing arrangements and/or otherwise. Therefore, productivity improvements and cost containment strategies are continuously sought within the Company’s concept of continuous improvement. The Company’s products are labor intensive and as such productivity improvements are expected to have positive effects on the Company’s operating results. However, increased costs for raw material, purchased parts and/or labor will have the reverse effect. Therefore, there are strong incentives to continuously improve productivity and to contain/reduce costs.

If any adverse economic events reduce the number of Airliners and/or Aircraft being produced by the Company’s relevant prime contractors, the negative effects of that reduction will in turn flow down through the supply chain. Also, certain major manufacturers have successfully imposed extended payment terms to their suppliers. At times, these extended payment terms are not available to the Company when purchasing raw material such as aluminum, magnetic material, steel and/or other product support items and services. If the Company’s customers delay their payments until after the extended due date or fail to pay, it could adversely impact the Company’s operating results.

Maximizing the Company’s operations requires continued dedicated performances from the Company’s key and other personnel. In the Company’s markets and business arenas there is substantial competition for the services of the highest performing individuals. Competitors, customers and other companies who may have interest in the Company’s most experienced and educated/highly trained personnel (i.e., Managerial, Engineering and Accounting/Administrative) are a continuing consequence of the Company’s history of successful operational performance. Any unplanned replacement of such personnel may require the hiring of new personnel on an expedited basis (provided they are available) and may temporarily interrupt the Company’s operations and efforts for continuous improvement.

Management Discussion

During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately 9% and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s revenues were derived from contracts with agencies of the U.S. Government or their prime contractors and their subcontractors. Sales of products sold for government applications decreased approximately $649,000 and $1,353,000 from the prior year during 2016 and 2015, respectively, due to decreased government shipments at the ATG. The Company believes that government involvement in military operations overseas will continue to have an impact on the financial results in both the Advanced Technology and Consumer Products markets. While the Company is optimistic in relation to these potential opportunities, it recognizes that sales to the government are affected by defense budgets, the foreign policies of the U.S. and other nations, the level of military operations and other factors, as such, it is difficult to predict the impact on future financial results.

- 9 -

The Company’s commercial business is affected by such factors as uncertainties in today’s global economy, global competition, the vitality and ability of the commercial aviation industry to purchase new aircraft, the effects and threats of terrorism, market demand and acceptance both for the Company’s products and its customers’ products which incorporate Company made components.

The ATG engages its business development efforts in its primary markets and is broadening its activities to include new domestic and foreign markets that are consistent with its core competencies. We believe our business remains particularly well positioned in the strong commercial aircraft market driven by the replacement of older aircraft with more fuel efficient alternatives and the increasing demand for air travel in emerging markets. Although the ATG backlog continues to be strong, actual scheduled shipments may be delayed/changed as a function of the Company’s customers’ final delivery determinations based on changes in the global economy and other factors.

The CPG continues to diversify its revenue streams with a broader government focus and new commercial channels, including the addition of national retailers, international accounts, and a direct-to-consumer business line, in response to recent and ongoing reductions in military spending. The CPG is also actively growing its custom manufacturing business to provide a wide range of metal and plastic fabrication services to a variety of consumer and industrial companies. New product development is focused on the commercialization of products with applications that span government and civilian requirements to maximize demand or that open up new lines of business entirely.

The ATG and CPG continue to respond to U.S. government procurement requests for quotes. New product development activities are ongoing along with the acquisition and development of new product lines.

Revenue

The Company’s consolidated revenues from operations increased approximately $1,858,000 or 5.1% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in revenue is attributable to an increase in commercial shipments of $3,120,000 at the ATG offset by decreases in commercial shipments at the CPG of approximately $605,000. Revenues from shipments to the Government and its prime vendors at the ATG decreased approximately $657,000 and $1,018,000, respectively, for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015 due to previously reported budget cuts for military spending and vagaries inherent in the Government procurement process and programs.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $923,000 or 3.3% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 when compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in costs is primarily attributable to increased sales volume. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 75.3% to 74.0% due in part to the mix of product sold as well as the realization of certain expected operational efficiencies attributable to increased production volumes for in-house and outsourced operations. Total employment levels grew from 304 employees at December 31, 2015 to 320 employees at December 31, 2016. The increase in employees is in response to an increase in production capacity requirements at the ATG as evidenced by an increase of 17.8% in the value of purchase orders placed when comparing 2016 to 2015. The Company continues to pursue cost saving opportunities in material procurements and other operating efficiencies including capital investments and technical developments in updated and new equipment/machinery as well as investing in the development and training of its labor force.

- 11 -

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased approximately $506,000 or 8.2% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Approximately 64% of SG&A expense relates to labor and labor related costs to support SG&A functions. Such expenses increased approximately $221,000 primarily due to an increase in salaries, wages and employee benefit costs for new and existing employees. Approximately 13% of SG&A expense is attributable to the sales and marketing of products including commissions and royalty expenses. These expenses increased approximately $179,000 as a result of media and catalog advertising and travel opportunities to promote new product development primarily at the CPG. Approximately 10% of SG&A expense is attributable to professional and legal services. These expenses increased approximately $96,000 due to ongoing legal proceedings.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $105,000 or 14.6% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to the assets related to the CPG expansion and renovation being placed in service in late 2015. Depreciation expense fluctuates due to variable estimated useful lives of depreciable property (as identified in Note 1, Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements) as well as the amount and nature of capital expenditures in current and previous periods. It is anticipated that the Company’s future capital expenditures and related depreciation and amortization expense will, at a minimum, follow the Company’s requirements to support its manufacturing delivery commitments and to meet certain information technology related capital expenditure requirements. See also Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information on capital expenditures.

Arbitration Award Expense

The Company incurred approximately $50,000 in additional interest in the first quarter of 2015 related to an arbitration award finalized on February 23, 2015, and prior to payment of the award on March 6, 2015.

Insurance Proceeds - Arbitration

On February 20, 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with its insurance carrier pursuant to which the Company received $4,500,000 from the carrier related to the Company's claim for insurance for damages the Company suffered in connection with the previously discussed arbitration proceeding. The insurance carrier also paid under the policy partial attorney fees incurred by the Company in defense of the arbitration. The insurance proceeds were used to pay the majority of the arbitration award with the remainder being paid by the Company using cash on hand. See also Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information.

Interest Expense

Interest expense remained relatively consistent for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. See also Note 4, Long-Term Debt, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information on long-term debt.

- 12 -

Other Income

Components of other income include interest income on cash and cash equivalents and other amounts not directly related to the sale of the Company’s products. Other income is immaterial in relationship to the consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for operations was 29.0% in 2016 and 31.7% in 2015. The effective tax rate in both years reflects federal and state income taxes, permanent non-deductible expenditures, the deduction for domestic production activities and the federal tax credit for research and development expenditures. The effective tax rate was lower in 2016 due to increased impact of certain tax deductions and research tax credits in relation to the decrease in income from operations. See also Note 6, Income Taxes, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information concerning income taxes.

Net Income

Income from operations decreased approximately $2,844,000 or 61.9% when comparing the twelve month period ended December 31, 2016 to the same period in 2015. This decrease is the result of a pretax $4,500,000 insurance settlement received on February 20, 2015 as discussed in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, of the accompanying consolidated financial statements, offset by increases in revenues and operating profits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary liquidity and capital expenditure requirements relate to working capital needs; primarily inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment and principal payments on debt. At December 31, 2016, the Company had working capital of approximately $20,969,000 ($19,959,000 – 2015) of which approximately $3,515,000 ($3,268,000 – 2015) was comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company generated approximately $2,441,000 in cash from operations during the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $1,231,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. Cash was generated primarily through net income of approximately $1,753,000 as well as timing differences in payments to vendors. The primary use of cash for the Company’s operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 include working capital requirements, mainly an increase in inventory of approximately $890,000 and timing differences on collections of accounts receivable of approximately $590,000. Cash generated and used in operations is consistent with sales volume, customer expectations and competitive pressures.

The Company’s primary use of cash in its financing and investing activities in the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 included approximately $548,000 of current principal payments on long-term debt, approximately $380,000 for cash dividends paid on May 16, 2016 as well as approximately $275,000 for the purchase of treasury shares. The Company also expended approximately $991,000 for capital expenditures.

On December 1, 2014, the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement that provides for a $2,620,000 seven-year term loan (the “Term Loan”) and $2,000,000 line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Line of Credit, which replaced the Company’s previous $2,000,000 line of credit, was renewed on May 23, 2016 and is available until June 21, 2017 unless subsequently renewed. As of December 31, 2016, there were no draws on the line. The proceeds from the Term Loan were used to pay off the Industrial Development Revenue Bonds that were issued by a government agency in 1994 to finance the construction of the Company’s headquarters/advanced technology facility and which matured on December 1, 2014.

In addition, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Ontario Knife Company (OKC) entered into a separate Loan Agreement with the Bank on December 1, 2014. The OKC Loan Agreement provides for a $2,000,000 seven-year term loan (the “OKC Term Loan”). The proceeds from the OKC Term Loan were used to purchase equipment and expand/renovate the OKC facility in Franklinville, New York.

Borrowings under these Credit Facilities bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the Bank’s Prime Rate or LIBOR plus 1.4%. Principal installments are payable on the Term Loan and the OKC Term Loan through December 1, 2021 with a balloon payment of $786,000 at maturity of the Term Loan. The Term Loan and Line of Credit are secured by all of the Company’s equipment, receivables and inventory. The OKC Term Loan is secured by substantially all of OKC’s equipment and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

The Company believes its cash generating capability and financial condition, together with available credit facilities will be adequate to meet our future operating, investing and financing needs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Servotronics, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Business Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business Description

Servotronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries design, manufacture and market advanced technology products consisting primarily of control components and consumer products consisting of knives and various types of cutlery and other edged products.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Servotronics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all cash accounts and short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to substantially all of its customers and carries its accounts receivable at original invoice amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on history of past write-offs, collections, and current credit conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts amounted to approximately $77,000 at December 31, 2016 and $88,000 at December 31, 2015. The Company does not accrue interest on past due receivables.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point consistent with the transfer of title, risks and rewards of ownership. Such purchase orders generally include specific terms relative to quantity, item description, specifications, price, customer responsibility for in-process costs, delivery schedule, shipping point, payment and other standard terms and conditions of purchase.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or net realizable value. Cost includes all costs incurred to bring each product to its present location and condition. Market provisions in respect of lower of cost or market adjustments and inventory expected to be used in greater than one year are applied to the gross value of the inventory through a reserve of approximately $1,513,000 and $1,429,000 at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. Pre-production and start-up costs are expensed as incurred.

The purchase of suppliers’ minimum economic quantities of material such as steel, etc. may result in a purchase of quantities exceeding one year of customer requirements. Also, in order to maintain a reasonable and/or agreed to lead time or minimum stocking requirements, certain larger quantities of other product support items may have to be purchased and may result in over one year’s supply.

Shipping and Handling Costs

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

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost; expenditures for new facilities and equipment and expenditures which substantially increase the useful lives of existing plant and equipment are capitalized; expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon disposal of properties, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any profit or loss on disposition is included in income.

In 2015, the Company’s CPG received $700,000 in County and State grants that were used towards the purchase of machinery and equipment. The Company recorded the grant proceeds as a reduction to the carrying value of the related assets. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies for more information related to the facility expansion and subject grants.

Depreciation is provided on the basis of estimated useful lives of depreciable properties, primarily by the straight-line method for financial statement purposes and by accelerated methods for tax purposes. Depreciation expense includes the amortization of capital lease assets. The estimated useful lives of depreciable properties are generally as follows:

Buildings and improvements		5-40 years
Machinery and equipment		5-20 years
Tooling		3-5 years

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, as well as operating loss and credit carryforwards. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return, combined New York and Texas state income tax returns and separate Pennsylvania and Arkansas income tax returns.

The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company did not have any accrued interest or penalties included in its consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2016 or December 31, 2015, and did not recognize any interest and/or penalties in its consolidated statements of income during the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company did not have any material uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits or obligations as of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The 2013 through 2015 federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

Income taxes paid during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to approximately $684,000 and $622,000, respectively. Interest paid during the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to approximately $72,000 and $77,000, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

Contributions to the employee stock ownership plan are determined annually by the Company according to plan formula.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable based on undiscounted future operating cash flow analyses. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of disposal. The Company has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed at December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain balances as previously reported were reclassified to conform with classifications adopted in the current period.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risks principally consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions.

During the Company’s 2016 fiscal year, sales of advanced technology products pursuant to contracts with prime or subcontractors for various branches of the United States Government accounted for approximately 9% of the Company’s consolidated revenues as compared to 10% in 2015. The Company had sales of advanced technology products to three customers, including various divisions and subsidiaries of a common parent company, which represented more than 10% of consolidated revenues in 2016. Total revenues from these three customers amounted to approximately 58% in 2016 as compared to two customers amounting to approximately 44% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in 2015. No other customers of the ATG or CPG represented more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated revenues in either of these years. Refer to Note 11, Business Segments, for disclosures related to business segments of the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to their short maturity. Based on variable interest rates and the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans similar to its long-term debt, their fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Interest - Imputation of Interest: Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements,” which adds comments from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) addressing ASU 2015-03, as discussed in the previous paragraph, and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The SEC commented it would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company adopted ASU 2015-15 in connection with its adoption of ASU 2015-03 on January 1, 2016 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The new revenue recognition standard outlines a comprehensive model for companies to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In August 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date of the standard to annual reporting periods (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2017. Entities are permitted to apply the new revenue standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company’s revenues are recognized as services are rendered or as units are shipped and at the designated FOB point. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The ASU changes the measurement principle for certain inventory methods from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, “Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. The guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. The guidance becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” There are elements of the new standard that could impact almost all entities to some extent, although the lessees will likely see the most significant changes. Lessee will need to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording the right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Public business entities are required to adopt the new leasing standard for fiscal years, and interim period within those fiscal years, beginning December 15, 2018. For calendar year-end public companies, this means an adoption date of January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not believe the adoption will have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which amends the current stock compensation guidance. The amendments simplify the accounting for the taxes related to stock based compensation, including adjustments to how excess tax benefits and a company's payments for tax withholdings should be classified. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the guidance to determine the impact it may have to its consolidated financial statements.

The term loans and line of credit are secured by all personal property of the Company with the exception of certain equipment that was purchased from proceeds of government grants.

Certain lenders require the Company to comply with debt covenants as described in the specific loan documents, including a debt service ratio. At December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

Employee Benefit Plans

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

In 1985, the Company established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the benefit of employees who meet certain minimum age and service requirements. Upon inception of the ESOP, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from a bank and lent the proceeds to the trust established under the ESOP to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s loan to the trust is at an interest rate approximating the prime rate and is repayable to the Company over a 40-year term ending in December 2024. During 1987 and 1988, the Company loaned an additional $1,942,000 to the trust under terms similar to those under the Company’s original loan.

ESOP shares are held by the plan trustees in a suspense account until allocated to participant accounts. Each year the Company makes contributions to the trust sufficient to enable the trust to repay the principal and interest due to the Company under the trust loans. As the loans are repaid, shares are released from the suspense account pro rata based on the portion of the aggregate loan payments that are paid during the year. During 2010, the ESOP plan was amended to allow dividends on unallocated shares to be distributed to participants in cash, unless otherwise directed. ESOP shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation and/or on the participant’s account balance. For this purpose, “compensation” means taxable pay.

SERVOTRONICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

If Servotronics shares are not readily tradable on an established securities market at the times of an ESOP participant’s termination of employment or retirement and if such ESOP participant requests that his/her ESOP distributed shares be repurchased by the Company, the Company is obligated to do so. The Company’s shares currently trade on NYSE MKT, formerly known as the American Stock Exchange. There were no outstanding shares subject to the repurchase obligation at December 31, 2016.

Since inception of the ESOP, 410,196 shares have been allocated, exclusive of shares distributed to ESOP participants. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, 140,292 and 158,396 shares, respectively, remain unallocated.

Related compensation expense associated with the Company’s ESOP, which is equal to the principal reduction on the loans receivable from the trust, amounted to approximately $100,000 in 2016 and $101,000 in 2015, respectively. Included as a reduction to shareholders’ equity is the ESOP trust commitment which represents the remaining indebtedness of the trust to the Company. Employees are entitled to vote allocated shares and the ESOP trustees are entitled to vote unallocated shares and those allocated shares not voted by the employees.

Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

The Company provides certain postretirement health and life insurance benefits for certain executives of the Company. Upon retirement and after attaining at least the age of 65, the Company will pay the annual cost of health insurance for the retired executives and their dependents and will continue the Company provided life insurance offered at the time of retirement. The retiree’s health insurance benefits ceases upon the death of the retired executive. The actuarially calculated future obligation of the benefits at December 31, 2016 and 2015 is approximately $614,000 and $498,000, respectively, excluding the estimated liability related to postretirement benefits for the former Executive Officer discussed in Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies. Additional expense of approximately $91,000 per year is expected to be paid subsequent to December 31, 2016. Estimated future annual expenses associated with the plan are immaterial. Included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income for 2016 and 2015 is approximately $20,000 and $3,000, respectively, net of deferred taxes, associated with the unrecognized service cost of the plan.

In assessing the ability of the Company to realize the benefit of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, the opportunity for net operating loss carrybacks, and projections for future taxable income over the periods which deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2016, except for a valuation allowance of $253,000 ($397,000 – 2015) related to certain state net operating loss carryforwards, state tax credit carryforwards and other state net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2016, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards with full valuation allowances from Pennsylvania of approximately $2,240,000 ($2,240,000 – 2015), which begin to expire in 2019, and Arkansas of approximately $839,000 ($2,530,000 – 2015), which begin to expire in 2018, respectively. The Company also has a New York state tax credit carryforward at December 31, 2016 of approximately $97,000 ($217,000 – 2015), which begins to expire in 2024.

There are no uncertain tax positions or unrecognized tax benefits for 2016 and 2015. The Company is subject to routine audits of its tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and various state taxing authorities. The 2013 through 2015 Federal and state tax returns remain subject to examination.

On April 18, 2013, the Company issued 165,000 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers of the Company under the Company's 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan that was approved by the shareholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. This plan authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 shares. The restricted share awards vest over four year periods between January 2014 and January 2017; however, have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be $1,336,500 and will be recognized over the four year requisite service period.

On April 11, 2016, the Company issued 51,000 shares of restricted stock to Executive Officers and certain key management of the Company under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan. The restricted share awards have varying vesting periods between January 2017 and January 2018; however, these shares have voting rights and accrue dividends prior to vesting. The aggregate amount of expense to the Company, measured based on grant date fair value is expected to be approximately $406,000 and will be recognized over the requisite service period. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there was approximately $479,000 and $361,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the restrictive share awards.

On January 1, 2016, 41,250 shares of restricted stock vested of which 17,335 shares were withheld and repurchased by the Company for approximately $145,000 to satisfy statutory minimum withholding tax requirements for those participants who elected this option as permitted under the Company’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

On March 14, 2016, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a $0.15 per share cash dividend. The dividend was subsequently paid on May 16, 2016 to shareholders of record on April 11, 2016 and was approximately $380,000 in the aggregate as compared to approximately $375,000 paid in 2015, respectively. These dividends do not represent that the Company will pay dividends on a regular or scheduled basis. The amount is recorded as a reduction to retained earnings on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period plus the number of shares of common stock that would be issued assuming all contingently issuable shares having a dilutive effect on the earnings per share that were outstanding for the period. The dilutive effect of unvested restrictive stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

During 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a shareholders’ rights plan (the “Rights Plan”) and simultaneously declared a dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock outstanding at October 15, 2012. The Rights Plan replaced a previous shareholders rights plan that was adopted in 2002 and expired on August 28, 2012. The rights do not become exercisable until the earlier of (i) the date of the Company’s public announcement that a person or affiliated group other than Dr. Nicholas D. Trbovich, Kenneth D. Trbovich or the ESOP trust (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the Company’s common stock (excluding shares held by the ESOP trust) or (ii) ten business days following the commencement of a tender offer that would result in a person or affiliated group becoming an Acquiring Person.

The exercise price of a right has been established at $32.00. Once exercisable, each right would entitle the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the event that any person becomes an Acquiring Person, each right would entitle any holder other than the Acquiring Person to purchase common stock or other securities of the Company having a value equal to three times the exercise price. The Board of Directors has the discretion in such event to exchange two shares of common stock or two one-hundredths of a share of preferred stock for each right held by any holder other than the Acquiring Person.
