Note E – Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. To qualify as a discontinued operation the standard requires a disposal to represent a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. The standard also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations and requires new disclosures related to individually material dispositions that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this guidance with its fiscal year effective January 4, 2015 and does not expect any impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. This guidance will impact the reporting of any future dispositions. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which impacts virtually all aspects of an entity's revenue recognition. The core principle of the new standard is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company has not determined the impact of the adoption of this guidance on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. | |
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that could impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but are not yet effective, that might have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. |

Note F – Debt | |
On January 29, 2010, the Company signed a secured Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with People’s United Bank (“People’s”) which included a $5,000,000 term portion (the “Original Term Loan”) and a $10,000,000 revolving credit portion. On January 25, 2012, the Company amended the loan agreement by taking an additional $5,000,000 term loan (the “2012 Term Loan”). Interest on the Original Term Loan portion of the Loan Agreement is fixed at 4.98%. Interest on the 2012 Term Loan is fixed at 3.90%. The interest rate on the revolving credit portion of the Loan Agreement varied based on the LIBOR rate plus a margin spread of 2.25%, with a floor rate of 3.25% or People’s Prime rate and a maturity date of January 31, 2014. On January 23, 2014, the Company signed an amendment to its secured Loan Agreement with People’s which extended the maturity date of the $10,000,000 revolver portion of the Loan Agreement to July 1, 2016 and changed the interest rate to LIBOR plus 2.25%, eliminating the floor previously in place, or People’s Prime rate. The Company did not utilize the revolving credit facility during Fiscal 2013 or during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014. | |
The Company has loan covenants under the Loan Agreement which require the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1, a leverage ratio of no more than 1.75 to 1, and minimum tangible net worth of $43 million as of the end of Fiscal 2010 increasing each year by 50% of consolidated net income. This amount was approximately $52.8 million for Fiscal 2013. As part of the amendment signed on January 23, 2014, the leverage ratio was eliminated and the minimum tangible net worth covenant was modified to a fixed $55 million, effective as of March 29, 2014. In addition, the Company has restrictions on, among other things, new capital leases, purchases or redemptions of its capital stock, mergers and divestitures, and new borrowing. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in 2013 and for the nine month period ended September 27, 2014. |

Note K – Income Taxes | |
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various states and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2011 and non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities prior to 2008. During the third quarter of 2013, the Internal Revenue Service completed its examination of the tax returns for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011. There were no changes to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this audit. | |
During the first nine months of Fiscal 2014, the Company repatriated approximately $2.8 million in cash from its foreign subsidiaries. The impact of this has been an increase in the effective tax rate by approximately 1.4%. | |
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease within the next twelve months for a number of reasons, including the closure of federal, state and foreign tax years by expiration of the statute of limitations and the recognition and measurement considerations under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. There have been no significant changes to the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the three or nine month period ended September 27, 2014. As a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations in various state jurisdictions, the Company recorded a net tax benefit of $18,850. This net tax benefit resulted from the release of unrecognized tax benefits related to state income tax nexus issues and the associated accrued interest. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will not increase or decrease significantly over the next twelve months. |

Note L - Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | |
Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies | |
The Company is exposed primarily to credit, interest rate and currency exchange rate risks which arise in the normal course of business. | |
Credit Risk | |
Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Company, as and when they become due. The primary credit risk for the Company is its receivable accounts with customers. The Company has established credit limits for customers and monitors their balances to mitigate the risk of loss. At September 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. No one customer represented more than 10% of the Company’s net trade receivables at September 27, 2014 or at December 28, 2013. The maximum exposure to credit risk is primarily represented by the carrying amount of the Company’s accounts receivable. | |
Interest Rate Risk | |
On September 27, 2014, the Company has no exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates as the interest rate on the outstanding debt is fixed at 4.98% and 3.90%. | |
Fair Value Measurements | |
Assets and liabilities that require fair value measurement are recorded at fair value using market and income valuation approaches and considering the Company’s and counterparty’s credit risk. The Company uses the market approach and the income approach to value assets and liabilities as appropriate. There are no assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurements on September 27, 2014 or December 28, 2013. |
