ELECTRO-SENSORS, INC.
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 , 2018
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
This report should be read together with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 , including the audited financial statements and footnotes therein.
Management believes that the unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations as of September 30, 2018 and for the three and nine -month periods then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of interim periods may not be indicative of results to be expected for the year.
Nature of Business
Electro-Sensors, Inc. manufactures and markets a complete line of monitoring and control systems for a variety of industrial machinery. The Company uses leading-edge technology to continuously improve its products and expand the number of applications they can be used in, with the goal of manufacturing the industry-preferred product for every market served. The Company sells these products through an internal sales staff, manufacturers’ representatives, and distributors to a wide variety of industries that use the products in a variety of applications to monitor process machinery operations. The Company markets its products to customers located throughout the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Asia.
Re venue Rec ognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all related amendments (the Standard), for all contracts using the modified retrospective method. The Standard implements a five-step process for revenue recognition that focuses on transfer of control and defines a contract as “an agreement between two or more parties that creates legally enforceable rights and obligations." The adoption of the Standard did not materially affect the timing and measurement of our revenue recognition. As a result, we did not recognize a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
At contract inception, the Company assesses the goods and services promised to a customer and identifies a performance obligation for each promised good or service that is distinct. In addition, the transaction price for each performance obligation is determined at contract inception. Our contracts, generally in the form of a purchase order, specify the product or service that is promised to the customer. The typical contract life is less than one month and contains a single performance obligation, to provide conforming goods or services to the customer. Product revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to the customer, which typically occurs when products are shipped. Service revenue is recognized at the point in time when the service has been provided .
Fair Value Measurements
The carrying value of trade receivables, accounts payable, and other financial working capital items approximates fair value at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , due to the short maturity nature of these instruments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30 , 2018
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
(unaudited)
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company records compensation expense for stock options based on the estimated fair value of the options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option pricing model. The Company uses historical data, among other factors, to estimate the expected price volatility, the expected option life, and the expected forfeiture rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option.
As of September 30, 2018 , there was approximat ely $ 9 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options. The Company expects to recognize this expense over the next two years.
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. Significant estimates, including the underlying assumptions, consist of economic lives of long-lived assets, realizability of trade receivables, valuation of deferred tax assets/liabilities, inventory, investments, contingent earn-out, and stock compensation expense. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates may change in the near term.
R ecently Adopt ed Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) "Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities," which amends various aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method for marketable equity securities. This resulted in a $ 7 reclassification of net unrealized losses from accumulated other comprehensive gain (AOCI) to retained earnings. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 increases the possibility of increased volatility of non-operating income, as a result of the requirement to remeasure our equity securities each reporting period. For further information on unrealized gains from equity securities, see Note 2 .
Net Income (Loss) per Co mmon Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share is determined by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the common shares underlying stock options have been excluded from the calculation because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per common shares are the same.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 6,812 option share equivalents have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
R
eclassificatio
n
Certain items related to freight costs in the 2017 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2018 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on stockholders' equity, net income, or cash flows.

The Company classifies its investments in commercial paper and Treasury Bills as available-for-sale accounted for at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive gain on the balance sheet.
Prior to January 1, 2018, the Company accounted for equity securities at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive gain on the balance sheet. Realized gains and losses on equity securities sold or impaired were recognized in non-operating income on the statement of comprehensive income (loss).
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2016-01, which changed the way the Company accounted for equity securities. Equity securities are measured at fair value and starting January 1, 2018 unrealized gains and losses are recognized in non-operating income. Upon adoption, the Compa ny reclassi fied $ 7 net unrealized losses related to equity securities from accumulated other comprehensive gain to retained earnings.
The cost and estimated fair value of the Company’s investments are as follows:

The fair value of the commercial paper and treasury bills is based on quoted market prices in an active market. There is not a significant market for the available-for-sale equity security owned by the Company. The Company has determined the fair value for this equity security based on financial and other factors that are considered level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
The contingent earn-out relates to the 2014 acquisition of the HazardPRO TM product line. Management estimated the probability of meeting the revenue targets over the measurement period to determine the fair value of the contingent earn-out, which is considered a level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy. The contingent earn-out was paid in full during the first quarter of 2018 .
The change in level 3 liabili ties at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and nine months ended September 30 , 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors it considers relevant to the circumstances. These decisions include the selection of applicable accounting principles and the use of judgment in their application, and affect reported amounts and disclosures. Changes in economic conditions or other business circumstances may affect the outcomes of management’s estimates and assumptions. An in-depth description of our accounting estimates can be found in the interim financial statements included in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 .

The following paragraphs discuss the Company’s performance for t he three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 .
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (in thousands)
Net Sales
Net sales for the third quarter of 2018 were $ 2,146 , a increase of $ 68 , or 3.3 %, over the same period in 2017 . Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $ 5,642 , a decrease of $ 433 , or 7.1 %, over the same period in 2017 . The increase in the third quarter was primarily due to an increase in the number of orders in excess of $5 during the quarter and a 31% increase in international sales. The increase in international sales was driven by increased activity in South America.
Gross Profit
Gross profit for the third quarter of 2018 increased $ 61 , or 5.4 %, over the same period in 2017 . Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 decreased $ 274 , or 8.2 %, over the same period in 2017 . Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased slightly in the third quarter of 2018 to 55.7 %, versus 54.6 % in the same period in 2017 . Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 to 54.6 % , versus 55.3 % in the same period in 2017 . The change in the gross margin percentage for both periods was primarily due to a change in product mix.
| 13 |
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased $ 84 , or 9.2 %, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 46.4 % from 43.9 %. Total operating expenses increased $ 298 , or 10.1 %, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 57.4 % from 48.5 %. The increases in operating expenses were due to increased personnel, legal, and professional expenses.
|
|
● |
Selling and marketing expenses in the third quarter of 2018 increased $ 64 , or 18.7 %, from the same period in 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 18.9 % from 16.5 %. Selling and marketing expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased $ 115 , or 10.2 %, from the same period of 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 22.0 % from 18.6 %. The increase in the third quarter resulted primarily from an increase in commissions dollars accrued to outside sales representatives due to increased sales and expenses related to the hiring of a business development manager. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017, resulted primarily from the hiring of a business development manager. |
|
|
● |
General and administrative expenses increased $ 12 , or 3.0 %, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , and remained a constant percentage of net sales of 19.3 %. General and administrative expenses increased $ 145 , or 11.8 %, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 24.3 % from 20.2 %. The increase for in the third quarter was due to higher expenses related to computer supplies, software, and testing. The increase for the nine-month period was due to increases in legal and professional expenses and computer supplies, software, and testing. |
|
|
● |
Research and development expenses increased $ 8 , or 4.8 %, in the third quarter of 2018 from the same period in 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 8.2 % from 8.1%. Research and development expenses increased $ 38 , or 6.4 %, in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 , and also increased as a percentage of net sales to 11.1 % from 9.7 %. The increase for the third quarter was due to the hiring of additional personnel, partially offset by a decrease in contract engineering related to product enhancements. The increase for the nine-month period was due to the hiring of additional personnel and increased lab testing and certification expenses for a new product, partially offset by a decrease in contract engineering.
|
Non-Operating Income
Non-operating income increased by $ 26 , or 216.7 %, for the third quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 . Non-operating income increased by $ 60 , or 200.0 %, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same 2017 period. The increase was primarily due to higher interest income in both periods, as compared to the respective prior year periods, primarily the result of higher interest rates on Treasury Bills.
Income (Loss) Before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes was $ 237 for the third quarter of 2018 , representing an increase of $ 3 , or 1.3 %, compared to $ 234 for the same period in 2017. Loss before income taxes was $ 67 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $ 512 , or 115.1 %, when compared to income before income taxes of $ 445 for the same period of 2017 . The increase for the third quarter was the result of higher gross profit and interest income, partially offset by increased operating expenses discussed above. The decrease for the nine-month period was the result of lower revenues and higher operating expenses discussed above.
Income Taxes
The Company's income tax expense percentage decreased to 21.1 % for the third quarter of 2018 from 35.0 % in the third quarter of 2017 and decreased to 13.4 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 34.6 % for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to the enactment of the Tax Jobs and Cuts Act (the "Act") of 2017 in December 2017. The Act decreased the highest corporate rate to 21 % from 39 %.
| 14 |
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents were $ 853 at September 30, 2018 and $ 963 at December 31, 2017 . The decrease was primarily the result of the payment of the contingent earn-out of $ 150 in the first quarter of 2018.
Cash used in operating activities was $ 27 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to cash generated from operations of $ 316 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 . The $ 343 decrease was due to the net loss experienced in 2018 and a decrease in accrued income taxes, partially offset by a decrease in trade receivables. The net loss in 2018, as compared to the prior year net income, was primarily due to decreased revenue and higher operating expenses for the nine-month period. The decrease in accrued income taxes is due to the net loss. The decrease in trade receivables is due to the timing of sales and collections on accounts.
Cash generated from investing activities was $ 67 and $ 29 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company had net proceeds of Treasury Bills with a maturity date of more than three months of $ 96 and $ 44 , respectively. In addition, we purchased $ 29 and $ 15 of property and equipment during the nine months ended of 2018 and 2017 , respectively.
Cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $ 150 to pay the contingent earn-out owed for the technology purchased from Harvest Engineering, Inc. in 2014 . There was no cash used or provided by financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 .
Our ongoing cash requirements will be primarily for capital expenditures, research and development, working capital, and growth initiatives. Management believes that our cash on hand and any cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through at least the next 12 months.
Future Business Development Activities
The Company continues to seek growth opportunities, both internally through the Company’s existing portfolio of products, technologies and markets, as well as externally through technology partnerships or related-product acquisitions.
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2018 , the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements or transactions.
