Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Use of Estimates | (a) Use of Estimates The preparation of the 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. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowances for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, valuation of inventory, and estimates for warranty claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | (b) Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | (c) Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly including the analysis of historical trends, customer credit worthiness and the aging of receivables. In addition, past due balances are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. |
Inventories | (d) Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by a method that approximates the first-in, first-out method. Work in process and finished goods are valued based on underlying costs to manufacture balers which include direct materials, direct and indirect labor, and overhead. The Company reviews inventory for obsolescence on a regular basis. |
Property, Plant, and Equipment | (e) Property, Plant, and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The cost of property, plant, and equipment is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated lives of 5-20 years for machinery and equipment and 31-40 years for buildings. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and depreciation ceases. |
Income Taxes | (f) Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to estimate and measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as the amounts rely upon the determination of the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in facts or circumstances, changes in tax law and expiration of statutes of limitations, effectively settled issues under audit, and audit activity. Such a change in recognition or measurement would result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses. |
Revenue Recognition | (g) Revenue Recognition The Company adopted ASC 606 on November 1, 2018. The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of finished products upon shipment and the transfer of control to the customer. The other elements may include installation and, generally, a one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within a couple of days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is recognized over the contract period. All other product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions are recognized at a point in time upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon shipment or delivery based on the trade terms. Generally, pricing is fixed and the majority of the Company’s contracts have short duration and a single performance obligation to deliver a configured to order baler and related equipment to the customer. The Company has elected to expense shipping and handling costs as incurred. |
Disaggregation of Revenue | (h) Disaggregation of Revenue Disaggregated revenue is by primary geographic market is as follows: Revenue by Geographic Area Twelve Months Ended October 31, 2019 United States $ 8,199,936 International 1,326,639 Total $ 9,526,575 |
Contract Assets and Liabilities | (i) Contract Assets and Liabilities When the Company has delivered the baler, parts or service and has earned the right to bill a customer, accounts receivable is recorded as an unconditional right to payment exists. Contract liabilities arise when payment is received before the Company transfers products to a customer and are reported as Customer Deposits on the accompanying balance sheet. The change in contract liabilities is due to the timing of customer deposits for baler orders offset by customer deposits recognized as revenue during the period. Contract Costs The Company expenses incremental costs of obtaining or fulfilling a contract. |
Warranties and Service | (j) Warranties and Service The Company typically warrants its products for one (1) year from the date of sale as to materials, three (3) years for structural damage, and six (6) months as to labor, and offers services for other required repairs and maintenance. Service is rendered by repairing or replacing parts at the Company’s Jacksonville, Florida, facility, by on-site service provided by Company personnel who are based in Jacksonville, Florida, or by local service agents who are engaged as needed. The Company maintains an accrued liability for expected warranty claims. The warranty accrual is based on historical warranty costs, the quantity and type of balers currently under warranty, and known warranty issues. Following is a tabular reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual: 2019 2018 Beginning balance $ 80,000 $ 70,000 Warranty service provided (152,977 ) (102,359 ) New product warranties 132,257 80,817 Changes to pre-existing warranty accruals 720 31,542 Ending balance $ 60,000 $ 80,000 |
Earnings Per Share | (k) Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share include the net number of shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Options are not considered in loss years as they would be anti-dilutive. There were no stock options outstanding for the years ended October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. |
Business Reporting Segments | (l) Business Reporting Segments The Company operates in one segment based on the information monitored by the Company’s operating decision makers to manage the business. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | (m) Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short term certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and customer deposits, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | (n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements: In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740), Amendment to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (SEC Update) In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 establishing Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). ASC 606 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue 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 and also requires certain additional disclosures. The Company adopted this standard effective November 1, 2018 using modified retrospective approach, which requires applying the new standard to all existing contracts not yet completed as of the effective date and recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. Based on an evaluation of the impact of ASC 606 the Company concluded that ASC 606 did not have a material impact on the process for, timing of, and presentation and disclosure of revenue recognition from customers therefore the Company did not record a cumulative transition adjustment. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted: In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, |
