NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated condensed balance sheet as of April 30,  2019, which has been derived from the audited financial statements of Torotel, Inc. ("Torotel" or the “Company”), is accompanied by the unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements, which reflect the normal recurring adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary to present fairly Torotel’s consolidated financial position at January 31,  2020, and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended January 31,  2020, and 2019, respectively. 

The unaudited interim consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").  Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although management believes the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with Torotel’s consolidated financial statements and related notes filed on Torotel's Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2019 as filed with the SEC on July 23, 2019.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

The Company adopted the guidance of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, (“ASC 842”) as of May 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach with the cumulative effect recognized at the date of initial application. The comparative information in the prior year has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 840, Leases, which was the accounting standard in effect for that period. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize leases on-balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard establishes a right-of-use model (“ROU”) that requires a lessee to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in the statement of operations and presentation of cash flows. See Note 5—Leases for the required disclosures of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

NOTE 2 — NATURE OF OPERATIONS

NOTE 4—REVENUE

We determine revenue recognition through the following steps:

Performance Obligations Satisfied Over Time

We recognize revenue on agreements for the sale of customized goods for use in commercial aerospace and military electronics on an over time basis.

Commercial Aerospace and Defense Parts

Performance obligations under long-term agreements are considered to be under contract at the time that authorization to ship has been obtained from the customer, except for one long-term agreement which provides a contract for two specific parts if the ship date is within 21 days.  Performance obligations under standalone purchase orders are considered to be under contract at the time that the purchase order is received. Parts manufactured for customers in our aerospace and defense product revenue stream must be built to certain specifications that are then qualified by the customer. Due to the proprietary nature of our custom-built products designed for a specific use by our aerospace and defense customers, control is considered to be with the customer as the products are finalized and placed into finished goods.  Goods within this revenue stream do not provide simultaneous receipt and benefit to the customer.  The goods are controlled by our customers once the finished parts are created.  The customers prevent any alternative use of the asset and an enforceable right to payment does exist.  We provide for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that we will incur the loss.

Our billing terms for these over-time contracts vary, but are generally based on ship date.  Control is transferred as products are completed and closed to finished goods.

Product fees and engineering and design services

For product fees along with engineering and design services, transfer of control is determined by the revenue stream of the associated product. Percentage-of-completion revenue recognition is utilized when revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer for any project-related services, utilizing labor as the input method.

Performance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time

We recognize revenue on agreements for the sale of customized goods for use in the industrial and commercial market on point in time basis.

Industrial and Commercial Parts

Performance obligations under long-term agreements are considered to be under contract at the time that authorization to ship has been obtained from the customer. Performance obligations under standalone purchase orders are considered to be under contract at the time that the purchase order is received. For our commercial customers, control of the underlying product design is retained by Torotel, therefore the products are considered in our control until the moment of shipment.  Also, upon shipment the customers have an obligation to pay for the asset and we have an enforceable right to payment.  We provide for potential losses on any of these agreements when it is probable that we will incur the loss.

Our billing terms for these point in time sales are generally based on ship date.  Control is transferred as products are shipped to the customers.

Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction, that are collected by the Company from a customer, are excluded from revenue.  Shipping and handling costs do not have a material impact to the financial statements.  No impairment losses were recognized in the nine months ending January 31, 2020 and 2019, relating to receivables or contract assets arising from contracts with customers.

Contract balances

All contract asset balances relate to customer contracts entered into during the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020.  We have no contract liabilities other than customer deposits which represent prepaid consideration for contracts with customers.  There have been no significant adjustments to contract asset balances related to contract modifications.  We have certain customers totaling revenue of $5,056,000 with variable payment terms related to discounts in the amount of $43,000 in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020.

Remaining performance obligations

As of January  31, 2020, the aggregate amount of the contracted revenues allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was $4,156,000. The balance of unsatisfied performance obligations excludes contracts with original maturities of one year or less.  We expect to recognize revenue as we satisfy our remaining performance obligations.  Total remaining performance obligations to be recognized in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2020 is expected to be $1,651,000.  Total remaining performance obligations to be recognized in the fiscal year ending April 30, 2021 is expected to be $2,505,000.

NOTE 5—LEASES

The Company adopted ASC 842 on May 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method; and therefore, the comparative information has not been adjusted for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019 or as of April 30, 2019. Upon transition to the new standard, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which permitted the Company not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

The Company leases buildings and equipment under operating and finance leases. The majority of the Company’s operations are conducted in premises occupied under lease agreements with initial base terms ranging from 5 to 15 years, with certain leases containing options to extend the leases for up to an additional 10 years. The Company typically does not believe that exercise of the renewal options is reasonably assured at the inception of the lease agreements and, therefore, considers the initial base term as the lease term. Lease terms vary but generally the leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals or contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index.

Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities were recognized at commencement date based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining lease term. The minimum lease payments include base rent  payments. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 8 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise that option. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the incremental borrowing rate for operating leases, which was determined using a portfolio approach based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and also elected the short-term practical expedient for all leases that qualify. As a result, the Company will not recognize ROU assets or liabilities for short-term leases that qualify for the short-term practical expedient, but instead will recognize the lease payments as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

As a result of adopting ASC 842, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet includes additional operating ROU lease assets and total operating lease liabilities of $2,075,000 and $2,340,000, respectively, at January 31, 2020. The initial measurement occurring on May 1, 2019, resulted in operating lease ROU assets of $2,267,000, finance lease ROU assets of $98,000, current operating lease liabilities of $380,000, current finance lease liabilities of $73,000, noncurrent operating lease liabilities of $2,093,000, and noncurrent finance lease liabilities of $25,000. The difference of $206,000 between the ROU assets and the lease liabilities results from a reclassification of deferred rent to the operating lease ROU asset of $206,000.

The following table provides the operating and finance ROU assets and lease liabilities:

The components of lease expense were as follows:

The supplemental components of cash flows were as follows:

The following table represents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate as of January 31, 2020:

Future minimum lease payments on the amended operating lease and future minimum finance lease payments as of January 31, 2020 are as follows:

NOTE 6—FINANCING AGREEMENTS

On October 19, 2018, Torotel entered into three new business loan agreements (the “financing agreements”) with Cornerstone Bank (the “Bank”).  The financing agreements provide for an asset-backed revolving line of credit, a guidance line of credit, and a real estate term loan.  On October 19, 2019, Torotel renewed the asset-backed revolving line of credit.  A summary of the notes issued under the financing agreements is provided below:

The asset-based revolving line of credit is intended to be used for working capital purposes and has a capacity of $1,500,000.  The asset-based revolving line of credit is renewable annually upon mutual agreement of Torotel and the Bank. The Company intends to renew the asset-based revolving line of credit.  The associated interest rate is equal to the greater of the floating Cornerstone Bank Corporate Base Rate (5.50%  as of January 31, 2020)  or a floor of 5.0%.  Monthly repayments of interest only are required under the asset-based revolving line of credit promissory note with the principal due at maturity.  The borrowing base of the revolving line of credit is limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, plus

50% of eligible inventory, plus 80% of eligible equipment.  This asset-based revolving line of credit is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with all other financing agreements of Torotel with the Bank.  Pursuant to a Commercial Security Agreement dated October 19, 2018, between Torotel and the Bank (the “Commercial Security Agreement”), which was entered into in connection with the financing agreements, the asset-based revolving line of credit is secured by a first lien on all business assets of Torotel. Under the revolving line of credit, if the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding advances exceeds the applicable borrowing base, Torotel must pay the Bank an amount equal to the difference between the outstanding principal balance of the revolving line of credit and the borrowing base.

The real estate term loan is in the principal amount of $815,000 and contains a 5-year term with a 20-year amortization period, with the balance at maturity on October 19, 2023.  The associated interest rate is fixed at 5.35%.  Monthly repayments of approximately $5,573, consisting of both interest and principal, are required.  The final payment of approximately $690,829 is due on the maturity date.  This real estate term loan is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with the other financing agreements.  The real estate term loan is secured by a first lien priority real estate mortgage on the property located at 620 North Lindenwood Drive in Olathe, Kansas pursuant to the Commercial Security Agreement.

The equipment note was a guidance line of credit to be used for equipment purchases and had a capacity of $250,000.  On May 13, 2019, Torotel converted the guidance line of credit relating to the equipment note into an equipment term loan.  The equipment term loan is in the principal amount of $54,000 and contains a 5-year term with a 5-year amortization period, with the balance at maturity on May 13, 2024.  The associated interest rate is fixed at 5.50%.  Monthly repayments of approximately $1,034, consisting of both interest and principal, are required.  This final payment of approximately $1,034 is due on the maturity date.  This equipment term loan is cross collateralized and cross defaulted with the other financing agreements of Torotel and is secured by a purchase money security interest in the assets purchased as well as a first lien on all business assets of Torotel.

The financing agreements contain customary representations, warranties, and covenants of Torotel for the benefit of the Bank, as well as customary default provisions.  Other than the borrowing base limitations under the asset-based revolving line of credit, none of the financing agreements requires Torotel to comply with any financial covenants.  Prepayments are allowed without penalty under all of the financing agreements.

Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit

Under the terms of a lease amendment for its manufacturing facility located in Olathe, Kansas, Torotel provided the landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit in the original amount of $300,000 as additional security. On January 1, 2020, the letter of credit was reduced from $300,000 to $225,000.  The balance under the letter of credit will automatically reduce in accordance with the below schedule if not drawn upon:

NOTE 7—INCOME TAXES

The Company incurred an income tax benefit of $125,000 during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and incurred income tax expense of $61,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2020, with an effective tax rate of 22.3% and 16.3%, respectively, compared to no income tax expense or benefit being incurred during the three and nine months ended January 31, 2019.    

As of January 31,  2020, the federal tax returns for the fiscal years ended 2017 through 2019 are open to audit until the statute of limitations closes for the years in which our net operating losses are utilized. We would recognize interest and penalties accrued on unrecognized tax benefits as well as interest received from favorable tax settlements
