INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Management of Hickok, Inc.
Cleveland, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of CAD Enterprises, Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CAD Enterprises, Inc. as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CAD Enterprises, Inc.
1 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Description of Business
The Company is incorporated in the State of Arizona and is engaged in the business of precision machining of aerospace and military hardware. The customers of the Company are primarily in North America.
Effective July 1, 2018, Hickok Incorporated, an Ohio corporation completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of CAD Enterprises, Inc., pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement entered into as of July 5, 2018. Upon closing of the transaction, the shares were transferred and assigned to Hickok Incorporated in consideration of the payment by Hickok Incorporated of an aggregate purchase price of $21 million.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue consists of sales of aerospace and military hardware. Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped to the customer.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For the purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
At times during the year, the Company maintained funds on deposit at its banks in excess of FDIC insurance limits.
Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect. Management provides for uncollectible amounts based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. No allowance was deemed necessary for 2018 or 2017.
Inventories
Inventories consist of forgings, raw materials and supplies, parts in progress and finished parts. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market (2017) or lower of cost or net realizable value (2018) using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Inventory for work in progress was calculated at March 31, 2018 and 2017 using management’s estimate of costs incurred for items in progress. Inventory is fully collateralized by a bank. Inventories consist of the following:
| | 2018 | | | 2017 | |
Raw materials | | $ | 353,099 | | | $ | 282,640 | |

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Additions and betterments are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation of properties sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the current year’s earnings.
The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment generally using straight-line and accelerated methods for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Class | | Years | |
Leasehold improvements | | 7 | - | 15 | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 10 | | |
Vehicles | | | 5 | | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 10 | | |
Office equipment | | | 10 | | |
The property and equipment owned by the Company is fully collateralized by a bank. The total amount of depreciation expense charged to operations for March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $1,039,899 and $1,069,363, respectively.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company charges its customers shipping and handling fees at the time the products are shipped. The cost of shipping products to the customer is recognized at the time the products are shipped to the customer and is included in cost of sales.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is computed on financial statement income. Where transactions are included in the determination of taxable income in a different year, deferred income tax accounting is used. See Note 11 for the details of deferred income taxes.
In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes which requires the deferred tax assets and liabilities be reported together as a single noncurrent item on the classified balance sheet. For financial reporting simplification purposes, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-17 as of April 1, 2017 and applied it prospectively as allowed by the standard. Accordingly, the prior periods have not been retrospectively adjusted for the new standard.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
The provisions of "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" prescribe a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax uncertainties in income tax expense, if any. The Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions.
Freight Costs
It is the Company’s policy to classify freight costs as part of cost of goods sold in the Statement of Income. Total freight costs for the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 was $87,120 and $95,573, respectively.
Warranty Costs
Warranty costs are charged to operations when incurred. There were immaterial costs related to warranties for the period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Research and Development
Research and development costs for new products or improvements of existing products are expensed as incurred.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value Measurements
As defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, fair value is 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. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and/or the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable firm inputs.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CAD Enterprises, Inc.
1 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued |
Fair Value Measurements, Continued
The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on the examination of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
| ● | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| ● | Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| ● | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
| ● | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company generated a significant portion of its income from one customer during the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. During 2018 and 2017, the Company reported revenues of $30,196,920 and $33,550,252 and receivables of $1,897,086 and $2,479,240. Of these amounts, $28,932,665 (95%) and $32,179,713 (96%) of revenues and $1,751,700 (92%) and $2,307,418 (93%) of receivables were from this major customer.
During the years ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company advanced the officers $46,055 and $40,033, leaving a remaining balance due to the Company of $4,887 and $4,152. The amount was unsecured with interest accruing at 3.0%. In 2018 and 2017, respectively, $735 and $468 in interest was paid on the advance.

Profit Sharing Plan

Cash Balance Pension Plan
The cash balance pension plan is a defined benefit pension plan covering substantiality all employees. Employees with five or more years of service are entitled to annual pension benefits beginning at normal retirement age, as defined in the Plan document. The annual benefit is derived from a formula based upon final average earnings and years of credited service. The plan does not permit for early retirement benefits to be distributed to employees. All participants are eligible to retire with their full retirement benefit on the later of attaining the age of 62 or completing 5 years of active participation. Upon normal retirement, each participant will be entitled to a benefit payable based on the following:
| ● | Group 1 (Shareholders): 10% of average monthly compensation for each year of participation. |
| ● | Group 2 (All other participants): 0.5% of average monthly compensation for each year of participation. |
In addition, interest is credited each year using the applicable interest rate based on short term interest rates in effect the prior year. The accumulated plan benefits for active employees are based on their average annual compensation during the highest fifty consecutive calendar years of employment.
The Trustees of the Plan elected to terminate the Plan as of December 31, 2016. As such, participants have become 100% vested in their accounts. The accrued benefit of each participant is 100% vested to the extent of funding at date of termination. The net assets of the plan are allocated, as prescribed by ERISA and its related regulations, providing the following benefits in the order indicated:
| 1. | Annuity benefits that former employees or their beneficiaries have been receiving for the last three years, or that employees eligible to retire for that three-year period would have been receiving if they had retired with benefits in the normal form of annuity under the Plan. The priority amount is limited to the lowest benefit that was payable (or would have been payable) during those three years. The amount is further limited to the lowest benefit that would be payable under the Plan provisions in effect at any time during the five years preceding Plan termination. |
| 2. | Other vested benefits insured by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) (a U.S. government agency) up to the applicable limitations (discussed subsequently). |
| 3. | All other vested benefits (that is, vested benefits not insured by the PBGC). |
| 4. | All nonvested benefits. |
