Accounting Policies

Accounting Policies	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Notes
Accounting Policies	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, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022 (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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 six month period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued an amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Notes
Risks and Uncertainties	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. The Company has established an allowance for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based in part on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer and historical experience. The Company monitors its accounts receivable and charges to expense an amount equal to its estimate of potential credit losses. The Company considers a number of factors in determining its estimates, including the length of time its trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation. The Company also considers current economic conditions, the economic outlook and industry-specific factors in its evaluation. Accounts receivable balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered.

Commitments and Contingencies

Notes
Commitments and Contingencies	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 Company's financial position.

Revenue

Revenue	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Notes
Revenue	4. Revenue—The Company operates in the fastener industry and is in the business of manufacturing and selling rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts, screw machine products, automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, generally upon shipment of goods or completion of services, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For certain assembly equipment segment transactions, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation using a labor-based measure. Labor incurred and specific material costs are compared to milestone payments per sales contract. Based on our experience, this method most accurately reflects the transfer of goods under such contracts. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company did not realize any revenue related to such contracts and $379,000 is the remaining performance obligation under such contracts. Sales taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized net of certain sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statement of income. These adjustments primarily relate to customer returns and allowances. The Company records a liability and reduction in sales for estimated product returns based upon historical experience. If we determine that our obligation under warranty claims is probable and subject to reasonable determination, an estimate of that liability is recorded as an offset against revenue at that time. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reserves for warranty claims were not material. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as unearned revenue. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized in net sales, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the statement of income. The following table presents revenue by segment, further disaggregated by end-market: Fastener Assembly Equipment Consolidated Three Months Ended June 30, 2023: Automotive $ 4,959,381 $ 38,223 $ 4,997,604 Non-automotive 2,401,732 651,595 3,053,327 Total net sales $ 7,361,113 $ 689,818 $ 8,050,931 Three Months Ended June 30, 2022: Automotive $ 4,550,809 $ 59,818 $ 4,610,627 Non-automotive 3,508,803 903,968 4,412,771 Total net sales $ 8,059,612 $ 963,786 $ 9,023,398 Six Months Ended June 30, 2023: Automotive $ 9,965,571 $ 83,101 $ 10,048,672 Non-automotive 5,252,355 1,479,629 6,731,984 Total net sales $ 15,217,926 $ 1,562,730 $ 16,780,656 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022: Automotive $ 9,454,992 $ 101,652 $ 9,556,644 Non-automotive 6,758,453 1,905,997 8,664,450 Total net sales $ 16,213,445 $ 2,007,649 $ 18,221,094 The following table presents revenue by segment, further disaggregated by location: Fastener Assembly Equipment Consolidated Three Months Ended June 30, 2023: United States $ 6,137,476 $ 654,546 $ 6,792,022 Foreign 1,223,637 35,272 1,258,909 Total net sales $ 7,361,113 $ 689,818 $ 8,050,931 Three Months Ended June 30, 2022: United States $ 6,796,779 $ 932,468 $ 7,729,247 Foreign 1,262,833 31,318 1,294,151 Total net sales $ 8,059,612 $ 963,786 $ 9,023,398 Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 United States $ 12,529,223 $ 1,441,117 $ 13,970,340 Foreign 2,688,703 121,613 2,810,316 Total net sales $ 15,217,926 $ 1,562,730 $ 16,780,656 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 United States $ 13,556,908 $ 1,936,618 $ 15,493,526 Foreign 2,656,537 71,031 2,727,568 Total net sales $ 16,213,445 $ 2,007,649 $ 18,221,094

Income Taxes

Income Taxes	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Notes
Income Taxes	5. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (21.3)% and 21.0% for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (21.1)% and 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2019 through 2022 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 Company’s 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 Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2019 through 2022 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2023 through 2026, respectively. The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2019 through 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2026. 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.

Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2023
Accounting Policies	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, 2023 (unaudited) and December 31, 2022 (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 Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 six month period ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and in November 2018 issued an amendment, ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 amends the impairment model by requiring entities to use a forward-looking approach based on expected losses rather than incurred losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments, including trade receivables. This may result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 should be applied on either a prospective transition or modified-retrospective approach depending on the subtopic. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not result in the recognition of a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings, nor did it have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Risks and Uncertainties	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. The Company has established an allowance for accounts that may become uncollectible in the future. This estimated allowance is based in part on management's evaluation of the financial condition of the customer and historical experience. The Company monitors its accounts receivable and charges to expense an amount equal to its estimate of potential credit losses. The Company considers a number of factors in determining its estimates, including the length of time its trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company's previous loss history and the customer's current ability to pay its obligation. The Company also considers current economic conditions, the economic outlook and industry-specific factors in its evaluation. Accounts receivable balances are charged off against the allowance when it is determined that the receivable will not be recovered.
Commitments and Contingencies	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 Company's financial position.
Revenue	4. Revenue—The Company operates in the fastener industry and is in the business of manufacturing and selling rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts, screw machine products, automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to our customers, generally upon shipment of goods or completion of services, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For certain assembly equipment segment transactions, revenue is recognized based on progress toward completion of the performance obligation using a labor-based measure. Labor incurred and specific material costs are compared to milestone payments per sales contract. Based on our experience, this method most accurately reflects the transfer of goods under such contracts. During the second quarter of 2023, the Company did not realize any revenue related to such contracts and $379,000 is the remaining performance obligation under such contracts. Sales taxes we may collect concurrent with revenue producing activities are excluded from revenue. Revenue is recognized net of certain sales adjustments to arrive at net sales as reported on the statement of income. These adjustments primarily relate to customer returns and allowances. The Company records a liability and reduction in sales for estimated product returns based upon historical experience. If we determine that our obligation under warranty claims is probable and subject to reasonable determination, an estimate of that liability is recorded as an offset against revenue at that time. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reserves for warranty claims were not material. Cash received by the Company prior to shipment is recorded as unearned revenue. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized in net sales, and related costs as cost of sales, when incurred. Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period is less than one year. These costs are recorded within selling and administrative expenses in the statement of income.
Income Taxes	5. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately (21.3)% and 21.0% for the second quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and (21.1)% and 21.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2019 through 2022 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 Company’s 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 Company’s federal income tax filings. The statute of limitations on the Company’s 2019 through 2022 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2023 through 2026, respectively. The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2019 through 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2026. 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.
Inventories	6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Segment Reporting	7. Segment Information—The Company operates in two business segments as determined by its products. The fastener segment includes rivets, cold-formed fasteners and parts and screw machine products. The assembly equipment segment includes automatic rivet setting machines and parts and tools for such machines.
