Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation

(2) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Astro-Med pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods included herein. These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.

On January 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Grass Technologies Product Group (Grass). Consequently, the Company has classified the results of operations of its Grass segment as discontinued operations for the three and six months periods ended August 3, 2013. Refer to Note 15, “Discontinued Operations,” for further details.

On January 22, 2014, Astro-Med completed the acquisition of the ruggedized printer product line from Miltope Corporation, a company of VT Systems (“Miltope”). Astro-Med’s ruggedized printer product line is part of the Test & Measurement (T&M) product group and is reported as part of the T&M segment. The results of the Miltope’s ruggedized printer product line operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the three and six months periods ended August 2, 2014. Refer to Note 4, “Acquisition,” for further details.

Results of operations for the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Some of the more significant estimates relate to the allowances for doubtful accounts and credits, inventory valuation, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, income taxes, share-based compensation, accrued expenses and warranty reserves. Management’s estimates are based on the facts and circumstances available at the time estimates are made, past historical experience, risk of loss, general economic conditions and trends, and management’s assessments of the probable future outcome of these matters. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Certain amounts in prior year’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

(4) Acquisition

On January 22, 2014, Astro-Med completed the acquisition of the ruggedized printer product line from Miltope, which is engaged in the design, development, manufacture and testing of ruggedized computers and computer peripheral equipment for military, industry and commercial applications. Astro-Med’s ruggedized printer product line is part of the Test & Measurement (T&M) product group and is reported as part of the T&M segment. The results of the Miltope’s ruggedized printer product line operations have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months periods ended August 2, 2014 as presented.

 

The purchase price of the acquisition was $6,732,000 which was funded using existing cash on hand. Of the $6,732,000 purchase price, $500,000 is being held in escrow for twelve months following the acquisition date to provide an indemnity to the Company in the event of any breach in the representations, warranties and covenants of Miltope. The assets acquired consist of all of the assets of the Miltope ruggedized printer product line excluding plant and equipment and personnel. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method in accordance with the guidance provided by FASB ASC 805, “Business Combinations.”

As part of the acquisition, Miltope and Astro-Med entered into a manufacturing services agreement under which Miltope will provide transition services and continue to manufacture printers for Astro-Med for up to six months until the Company transitions the manufacturing to its West Warwick, Rhode Island facility.

The purchase price of the acquisition has been allocated on the basis of the estimated fair value as follows:

The impact on net income and earnings per share would not have been material to the Company in fiscal 2014.

Net Income Per Common Share
Net Income Per Common Share

(5) Net Income Per Common Share

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and, if dilutive, common equivalent shares for stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units outstanding during the period. A reconciliation of the shares used in calculating basic and diluted net income per share is as follows:

For the three and six months ended August 2, 2014, the diluted per share amounts do not reflect 150,000 common equivalent shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended August 3, 2013, the diluted per share amounts do not reflect 173,300 common equivalent shares outstanding because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. These outstanding options were not included due to their anti-dilutive effect, as the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the underlying stock during the period presented.

Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation

(6) Share-Based Compensation

Astro-Med has one equity incentive plan (the “Plan”) under which incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) and other equity based awards may be granted to directors, officers and certain employees. An aggregate of 1,000,000 shares were authorized for awards under the Plan. At August 2, 2014, 210,164 shares were available for grant under the Plan. Options granted to employees vest over four years. The exercise price of each stock option will be established at the discretion of the Compensation Committee; however, any incentive stock options granted must be at an exercise price of not less than fair market value at the date of grant. In fiscal year 2013, a portion of the Company’s executive’s long-term incentive compensation was awarded in the form of RSUs (“2013 RSUs”). The 2013 RSUs were earned based on the Company achieving specific thresholds of net sales and annual operating income as established under the fiscal 2013 Domestic Management Bonus Plan and vested fifty percent on the first anniversary of the grant date and fifty percent on the second anniversary of the grant date provided that the grantee was employed on each vesting date by Astro-Med or an affiliate company. All such 2013 RSUs were earned and vested as of March 2014. In April 2013, the Company granted options and RSUs to officers (“2014 RSUs”). Each 2014 RSU will be earned and vest as follows: twenty-five percent of the 2014 RSU vests on the third anniversary of the grant date, fifty percent of the 2014 RSU vests upon the Company achieving its cumulative budgeted net sales target for fiscal years 2014 through 2016 (the “Measurement Period”), and twenty-five percent of the total 2014 RSU vests upon the Company’s achieving a target average annual ORONA (operating income return on net assets as calculated under the Domestic Management Bonus Plan) for the Measurement Period. The grantee may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of more than fifty percent of the common stock issued upon vesting of the RSU until the first anniversary of the vesting date.

The Plan provides for an automatic annual grant of ten-year options to purchase 5,000 shares of stock to each non-employee director upon the adjournment of each shareholders’ meeting. Each such option is exercisable at the fair market value as of the grant date and vests immediately prior to the next succeeding shareholders’ meeting. In addition to the automatic option grant under Plan, the Company has a Non-Employee Director Annual Compensation Program (the “Program”) which provides that each non-employee director is entitled to an annual cash retainer of $7,000 (the “Annual Cash Retainer”), plus $500 for each Board and committee meeting attended. In addition, effective August 1, 2014, the Chairman of the Board will receive an annual retainer of $6,000 and the Chair of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee will each receive an annual retainer of $4,000 each (“Chair Retainer”). The non-employee director may elect for any fiscal year to receive all or a portion of the Annual Cash Retainer and/or Chair Retainer (collectively the “Cash Retainer”) in the form of common stock of the Company, which will be issued under the Plan. If a non-employee director elects to receive all or a portion of the Cash Retainer in the form of common stock, such shares shall be issued in four quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter, and the number of shares of common stock to be issued shall be based on the fair market value of such common stock on the date such installment is payable. The common stock received in lieu of such Cash Retainer will be fully vested. However, a non-employee director who receives common stock in lieu of all or a portion of the Cash Retainer may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the common stock prior to the first anniversary of the date on which such shares were issuable. In the event of the death or disability of a nonemployee director, or a change in control of the Company, any shares of common stock issued in lieu of such Cash Retainer, shall no longer be subject to such restrictions on transfer. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, 798 shares were awarded to non-employee directors in lieu of the Cash Retainer.

In addition, under the Program, each non-employee director receives RSAs with a value equal to $20,000 (the “Equity Retainer”) upon adjournment of each annual shareholders meeting. If a non-employee director is first appointed or elected to the Board of Directors effective on a date other than at the annual shareholders meeting, on the date of such appointment or election, the director shall receive a pro rata award of restricted common stock having a value based on the number of days remaining until the next annual meeting. The Equity Retainer will vest on the earlier of 12 months after the grant date or the date immediately prior to the next annual meeting of the shareholders following the meeting at which such RSAs were granted. However, a non-employee director may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber the vested common stock prior to the second anniversary of the vesting date. In the event of the death or disability of a non-employee director, or a change in control of the Company, the RSAs shall immediately vest and shall no longer be subject to such restrictions on transfer. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, 7,245 RSA were awarded to non-employee directors pursuant to the Program.

We account for compensation cost related to share-based payments based on fair value of the stock options, RSUs and RSAs when awarded to an employee or director. We have estimated the fair value of each option on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Our estimate requires a number of complex and subjective assumptions including our stock price volatility, employee exercise patterns (expected life of the options), the risk-free interest rate and the Company’s dividend yield. The stock price volatility assumption is based on the historical weekly price data of our common stock over a period equivalent to the weighted average expected life of our options. Management evaluated whether there were factors during that period which were unusual and would distort the volatility figure if used to estimate future volatility and concluded that there were no such factors. In determining the expected life of the option grants, the Company has observed the actual terms of prior grants with similar characteristics and the actual vesting schedule of the grant and has assessed the expected risk tolerance of different option groups. The risk-free interest rate is based on the actual U.S. Treasury zero coupon rates for bonds matching the expected term of the option as of the option grant date. The dividend assumption is based upon the prior year’s average dividend yield. Reductions in compensation expense associated with the forfeited options are estimated at the date of grant, and this estimated forfeiture rate is adjusted periodically based on actual forfeiture experience. Our accounting for share-based compensation for RSUs and RSAs is also based on the fair value method. The fair value of the RSUs and RSAs is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of the RSU or RSA.

Stock Options

The fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended August 2, 2014 and August 3, 2013 was estimated using the following assumptions:

 

     Six Months Ended  
     August 2, 2014     August 3, 2013  

Risk Free Interest Rate

     1.6     0.8

Expected Volatility

     26.8     38.3

Expected Life (in years)

     5.0        5.0   

Dividend Yield

     2.0     2.6

The weighted average fair value per share for options granted was $2.93 and $2.84, during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2015, respectively compared to $2.79 during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2014.

(9) Note Receivable and Line of Credit Issued

On January 30, 2012, the Company completed the sale of its label manufacturing operations in Asheboro, North Carolina to Label Line Ltd. The net sale price of $1,000,000 was received in the form of a promissory note issued by Label Line Ltd. and is fully secured by a first lien on various collateral, including the Asheboro plant and plant assets. The note bears interest at 3.75% is payable in sixteen quarterly installments of principal and interest which commenced on January 30, 2013. The Note Receivable is disclosed at its present value on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of August 2, 2014, $562,500 remains outstanding on this note.

Although the initial term was for a period of one-year from the date of the sale, the agreement has been extended through January 31, 2015. As of August 2, 2014, $200,000 remains outstanding on this revolving line of credit.

Segment Information
Segment Information

(10) Segment Information

Astro-Med reports two segments consistent with its sales product groups: QuickLabel Systems (QuickLabel) and Test & Measurement (T&M). On January 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Grass Technologies Product Group (Grass) in order to focus on its existing core businesses. Consequently, the Company has classified the results of operations of Grass as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended August 3, 2013. Refer to Note 15, “Discontinued Operations” for a further discussion.

On January 22, 2014, Astro-Med completed the acquisition of the ruggedized printer product line from Miltope. Astro-Med’s ruggedized printer product line is part of the T&M product group and is reported as part of the T&M segment. The results of the Miltope’s ruggedized printer product line operations have been included below for the three and six months periods ended August 2, 2014. Assuming the acquisition of Miltope occurred on February 1, 2013 the Company’s net sales for the three and six months periods ended August 3, 2013 would have been $19,194,000 and $36,679,000, respectively. Refer to Note 4, “Acquisition,” for further details.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on the segment profit before corporate expenses.

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 completes the joint effort by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to improve financial reporting by creating common revenue recognition guidance for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2014-09 applies to all companies that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services and is effective for public entities for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted and entities have the choice to apply ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or by recognizing the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 at the date of initial application and not adjusting comparative information. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2014-09 and has not yet determined its impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 limits discontinued operations reporting to disposals of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. In addition, this ASU expands the disclosure requirements for disposals that meet the definition of a discontinued operation and requires entities to disclose information about disposals of individually significant components that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-08 and do not expect it to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Income Taxes

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. To the extent that a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first six months of the current year, have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Securities Available for Sale
Securities Available for Sale

(12) Securities Available for Sale

Pursuant to our investment policy, securities available for sale include state and municipal securities with various contractual or anticipated maturity dates ranging from one to 32 months. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities, if any, are determined on a specific identification basis. A decline in the fair value of any available for sale security below cost that is determined to be other than temporary will result in a write-down of its carrying amount to fair value. No such impairment charges were recorded for any period presented. All short-term investment (classified as cash equivalents) securities have original maturities greater than 90 days.

The fair value, amortized cost and gross unrealized gains and losses of the securities are as follows:

(13) Fair Value

We measure our financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis in accordance with the guidance provided in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures” which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). In addition, ASC 820 establishes a three-tiered hierarchy for inputs used in management’s determination of fair value of financial instruments that emphasizes the use of observable inputs over the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect management’s belief about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing a financial instrument based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

The fair value hierarchy is summarized as follows:

 

    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2—Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

 

    Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents (including short term investment money market funds with original maturity of less than 90 days), accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued compensation and other expenses and income tax payable are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to the short term nature of the these instruments.

Discontinued Operations

(15) Discontinued Operations

On January 31, 2013, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its Grass Technologies Product Group (Grass) which manufactured polysomnography and electroencephalography systems and related accessories and propriety electrodes for use in both research and clinical settings for $18.6 million in cash, of which $1.8 million was held in escrow and received in the first quarter of the current year. The assets sold consisted primarily of working capital (exclusive of inventory and accounts payable related to manufacturing), the engineering, sales and support workforce, intellectual property and certain other related assets.

As part of this transaction, Astro-Med entered into a Transition Service Agreement (TSA) with the purchaser pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide transition services and continue to manufacture Grass products for the purchaser for a period not to exceed twelve months following the sale closing date. The Company determined that cash flows from this activity was not significant and therefore Grass has been disclosed as a discontinued operation for the fiscal 2014 periods presented. The TSA officially expired on January 31, 2014 and the Company is no longer reporting discontinued operations in fiscal 2015.

In accordance with the terms of the TSA agreement, the purchaser was obligated to acquire the remaining Grass inventory upon expiration of the TSA on January 31, 2014. In connection with the disposition of the inventory previously included in discontinued operations, the Company received $2,355,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 from the purchaser of Grass related to the disposition of this inventory. Any future services related to Grass post fiscal 2014 are not expected to be material.

Results for discontinued operations are as follows:

As a result of the sale of the Grass assets, the Company is in the process of selling its facility located in Rockland, Massachusetts, which was the former location of Grass production. This property is being actively marketed with sale considered probable within the next twelve months and accordingly, the property is classified as an Asset Held for Sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Product Replacement Program

In April 2013, tests conducted by the Company revealed that one of its suppliers had been using a non-conforming part in power supplies for certain models of Astro-Med’s Test & Measurement printers. No malfunctions have been reported by customers as a result of the non-conforming material.

Upon identifying this issue, Astro-Med immediately suspended production of the printers, notified all customers and contacted the supplier who confirmed the problem. Astro-Med is continuing to work with its customers to replace the non-conforming material on existing printers with conforming material. The estimated costs associated with the replacement program were $672,000, which was based upon the number of printers shipped during the period the non-conforming material was used. Those estimated costs were recognized and recorded as a reserve in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 and are included in the cost of sales in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of income for the six months ended August 3, 2013. As of August 2, 2014, the Company had expended $256,000 in replacement costs which have been charged against this reserve. The remaining reserve amount of $416,000 is included in Other Accrued Expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated August 2, 2014.

Astro-Med is currently receiving power supplies with compliant parts and has resumed printer production and shipments to customers.

Since the supplier deviated from the agreed upon specifications for the power supply while providing certificates of conformance to the original specifications, in January 2014, Astro-Med received a non-refundable $450,000 settlement from the supplier for recovery of the costs and expense associated with this issue. This settlement was recorded in cost of sales during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014. In addition to this cash settlement, the Company will receive lower product prices from the supplier for a period of three years.

(17) Subsequent Event

On September 5, 2014, Astro-Med entered into a new unsecured revolving line of credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank to replace the previous agreement which expired on May 30, 2014. The terms of the new agreement are for a three-year, $10 million revolving line of credit to be available to the Company to be used for ongoing working capital requirements, business acquisitions or general corporate purposes as needed. Any borrowings made under the new line of credit bear interest at either a fluctuating base rate equal to the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) 1.50% above the daily one month LIBOR, and (iii) the Federal Funds Rate in effect plus 1.50% or at a fixed rate of LIBOR plus an agreed upon margin of between 0% and 2.25%, based on the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA ratio as defined in the agreement. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no borrowings against this new line of credit and the entire line is currently available.

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

No other new accounting pronouncements, issued or effective during the first six months of the current year, have had or are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
