CHICAGO RIVET & MACHINE CO.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
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 March 31, 2022 (unaudited) and December 31, 2021 (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, 2021.
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 three month period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
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.
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.
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 first quarter of 2022, the Company did not realize any revenue related to such contracts. As of March 31, 2022, there are no such contracts outstanding.
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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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.

5. The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 21.6% and 21.7% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
The Company’s federal income tax returns for the 2018 through 2021 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 2018 through 2021 federal income tax returns will expire on September 15, 2022 through 2025, respectively.
The Company’s state income tax returns for the 2018 through 2021 tax years remain subject to examination by various state authorities with the latest closing period on October 31, 2025. 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.
6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, cost being determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the first quarter of 2022 were $9,197,696 compared to $9,304,949 in the first quarter of 2021, a decline of $107,253, or 1.2%. The modest decline was the primarily due to a lower average selling price on machines sold in the current year compared to the year earlier period. The lower sales combined with higher operating costs in the current year resulted in a lower net income of $447,313, or $0.46 per share, compared to $540,128, or $0.56 per share, in the first quarter of 2021. During the quarter, a regular quarterly dividend of $0.22 per share was paid.
Fastener segment revenues were $8,153,833 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $8,148,678 in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $5,155, or 0.1%. The automotive sector is the primary market for our fastener segment products and sales to automotive customers were $4,904,183 in the first quarter this year compared to $5,059,469 in the first quarter of 2021, a decline of $155,286, or 3.1%. This compares favorably to the 15.7% decline in North American light vehicle sales in the first quarter as the automotive industry continues to be negatively impacted by shortages of critical components. Fastener segment sales to non-automotive customers were $3,249,650 in the first quarter of this year compared to $3,089,209 in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $160,441 or 5.2%. Fastener segment gross margins were $1,558,909 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1,656,629 in the first quarter of 2021, a decline of $97,720, or 5.9%. We have experienced price increases in various manufacturing costs, including steel, our primary raw material, which has increased approximately 37% compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Assembly equipment segment revenues were $1,043,863 in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $1,156,271 in the first quarter of 2021, a decline of $112,408, or 9.7%. The decline was primarily due to a lower average selling price on machines sold in the current year. Lower sales contributed to a $80,495 decline in segment gross margin from $377,808 in 2021 to $297,313 in 2022.
Selling and administrative expenses during the first quarter of 2022 were $1,295,664 compared to $1,362,201 recorded in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $66,537, or 4.9%. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in payroll expense compared to the year earlier quarter. Selling and administrative expenses declined to 14.1% of net sales in the first quarter of 2022 from 14.6% in the first quarter of 2021.
Other Income
Other income in the first quarter of 2022 was $9,755 compared to $17,892 in the first quarter of 2021. The decrease is primarily related to a reduction in interest income on certificates of deposit due to lower interest rates and lower balances invested in the current year.
Income Tax Expense
The Company’s effective tax rates were approximately 21.6% and 21.7% for the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Working capital improved to $17,832,179 as of March 31, 2022 compared to $17,421,585 at the beginning of the year. During the quarter, accounts receivable increased by $990,427, due to the greater sales activity during the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2021, and inventory increased by $1,093,460 due to higher raw material prices and the increase in quantities on hand to minimize supply disruptions. Partially offsetting these changes were increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses related to the greater level of operating activity during the first quarter. Other items impacting working capital in the first quarter were capital expenditures of $120,594, which consisted primarily of equipment used in fastener production activities, and dividends paid of $212,549. The net result of these changes and other cash flow activity was to leave cash, cash equivalents and certificates of deposit at $4,056,417 as of March 31, 2022 compared to $4,777,954 as of the beginning of the year. Management believes that current cash, cash equivalents and operating cash flow will provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Results of Operations Summary
Results in the first quarter reflected steady demand overall, but demand from automotive customers, our primary customer market, was constrained by continued pandemic-fueled chip and parts shortages. These conditions are expected to persist in the near-term. Higher operating costs related to accelerating inflation and a tight labor market further weighed on results during the quarter. Cost increases can be difficult to recover and further increases are expected. These factors, as well as lingering uncertainties related to COVID-19, are expected to continue to present challenges in the near-term. As we face these challenges, we will make adjustments to our activities which we believe are necessary based on market conditions, while continuing to pursue opportunities to develop new customer relationships and build on existing ones in all the markets we serve.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains certain "forward-looking statements" which are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events to differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors which may cause such differences in events include, those disclosed under "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the other filings we make with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These factors, include among other things: risk related to the COVID-19 pandemic and its related adverse effects, conditions in the domestic automotive industry, upon which we rely for sales revenue, the intense competition in our markets, the concentration of our sales with major customers, risks related to export sales, the price and availability of raw materials, supply chain disruptions, labor relations issues, losses related to product liability, warranty and recall claims, costs relating to environmental laws and regulations, information systems disruptions, the loss of the services of our key employees and difficulties in achieving cost savings. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
