CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2017 (unaudited) and December 31, 2016 (audited) and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the indicated periods. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted from these unaudited financial statements in accordance with applicable rules. Please refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six-month period ending June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), (ASU 2014-09) which is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients (ASU 2016-12), which updated ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-12 clarifies certain core recognition principles including collectability, sales tax presentation, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and disclosures no longer required if the full retrospective transition method is adopted. ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2016-12 are effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those reporting periods, and are to be applied using either the modified retrospective or full retrospective transition methods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is reviewing its revenue sources and contracts within the scope of the ASU and based on its preliminary evaluation to date, does not anticipate this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements except for the expanded disclosure requirements. The Company does not plan to early adopt the ASU and has not yet determined the transition method.
2. The Company extends credit on the basis of terms that are customary within our markets to various companies doing business primarily in the automotive industry. The Company has a concentration of credit risk primarily within the automotive industry and in the Midwestern United States.
3. The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation, including environmental claims and contract disputes, in the normal course of business. While it is not possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect to contingent liabilities, including those related to legal proceedings, management is of the opinion that the aggregate amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys financial position.
4. The Companys effective tax rates were approximately 31.1% and 32.3% for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 32.5% and 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.
The Companys federal income tax returns for the 2013 through 2016 tax years are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). While it may be possible that a reduction could occur with respect to the Companys unrecognized tax benefits as an outcome of an IRS examination, management does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to the results of operations or financial condition of the Company. No statutes have been extended on any of the Companys federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Companys 2013 through 2016 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2017 through 2020, respectively.
The Companys state income tax returns for the 2013 through 2016 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2020. The Company is not currently under examination by any state authority for income tax purposes and no statutes for state income tax filings have been extended.

Net income for the first half of 2017 was $973,277, or $1.01 per share, compared to $1,442,116, or $1.49 per share, reported in the first half of 2016. Overall, results for the second quarter and the first half of the year were negatively impacted by lower sales and certain non-recurring expenses.
Fastener segment revenues were $8,097,344 in the second quarter of 2017, a decline of $760,692, or 8.6%, compared to $8,858,036 reported in the second quarter of 2016. For the first six months of 2017, fastener segment revenues were $16,833,532, compared to $17,305,365 in the first half of 2016, a decline of $471,833, or 2.7%. The decline in fastener segment sales was primarily due to reduced shipments to certain large automotive customers. The automotive sector is the primary market for our fastener segment products and domestic automotive sales have declined in the current year, which has negatively impacted demand for our products. Fastener segment gross margin was $1,554,670 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to $2,284,073 in the second quarter of 2016. For the first half of 2017, the gross margin was $3,587,484 compared to $4,301,597 in the first half of 2016. Other than the decline in sales volume, the most significant item affecting margins was an increase in tooling expense of approximately $122,000 and $174,000 in the second quarter and first half of 2017, respectively, primarily related to new parts being produced.
Assembly equipment segment revenues were $1,338,164 in the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $375,470, or 39.0%, compared to the second quarter of 2016, when revenues were $962,694. The large increase in sales during the second quarter was due to the shipment of certain high dollar value machine orders and reversed most of the sales decline reported in the first quarter. For the first half of the year, assembly equipment sales were $2,085,303, a decline of $26,457, or 1.3%, from $2,111,760 reported for the first half of 2016. The strong second quarter machine sales was the primary factor in improving assembly equipment segment gross margins by $188,701 during the quarter compared to last years second quarter. For the first half of the year, gross margins were $738,435 compared to $735,930 in 2016, an increase of $2,505.
Selling and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2017 were $1,420,575, a decline of $29,327, or 2%, compared with the year earlier quarter total of $1,449,902. Expenditures for a new ERP system at one of our locations resulted in a $75,000 increase in expenditures during the second quarter. Offsetting the system conversion expenses was a $35,000 decline in salaries related to headcount reduction and a $61,000 decline in profit sharing expense due to lower operating profit. For the first six months of the year, selling and administrative expenses were $2,926,847 compared to $2,908,621 in 2016, an increase of $18,226, or 0.6%. As in the second quarter, expenditures were significantly impacted by the ERP system conversion undertaken at one of our locations. This accounted for $150,000 of additional expenses during the first half of the year, which was only partially offset by lower salaries of $60,000 and lower profit sharing of $87,000. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the first half of 2017 were 15.5% compared to 15.0% in the first half of 2016.
Other Income
Other income in the second quarter of 2017 was $22,522, compared to $16,051 in the second quarter of 2016. Other income for the first half of 2017 was $43,205, compared to $29,210 in the first six months of 2016. Other income consists primarily of interest income on certificates of deposit.
Income Tax Expense
The Companys effective tax rates were approximately 31.1% and 32.3% for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 32.5% and 33.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Rates were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the Domestic Production Activities Deduction allowed under Internal Revenue Code Section 199.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital at June 30, 2017 was relatively unchanged from the beginning of the year at $16.5 million. Accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable have increased $0.6 million, $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively since the beginning of the year due to the greater level of activity compared to the seasonally lower fourth quarter of 2016. Offsetting this net change was the reduction in cash and certificates of deposit. Net cash provided by operating activities declined by $0.8 million for the first half of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to lower net income in the current year. Capital expenditures for the first half of 2017 were $0.8 million, which primarily consisted of equipment used in production activities. Dividends paid in the first two quarters were $0.7 million, including two regular quarterly payments of $0.20 per share and an extra dividend of $0.35 per share paid in the first quarter. The net result of these changes and other cash flow items on cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit was a $0.7 million decline in such total balances from the beginning of the year, to $7.7 million.
Results of Operations Summary
After several years of growth in automobile sales, many analysts had forecast that vehicle sales had reached a peak in 2016. The decline in new vehicle sales in the first half of 2017 seems to confirm that sentiment. The increase in incentives used to achieve the current level of sales is also a concern. As a result, our results for 2017 have fallen short of those reported in 2016. Based on the current economic environment, we dont believe overall business conditions during the second half of the year will be markedly different from those of the first half. Expenses related to a computer system conversion at one of our locations should decline in the second half of the year with the project expected to be completed before year-end. While our strong financial condition should enable us to pursue opportunities to profitably grow revenues and improve net income, our results will continue to be impacted by the overall level of activity in the automotive market, and as such, we plan to emphasize our efforts to control costs and improve operating efficiencies.
