INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors of Standex International Corporation

 

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the combined financial statements of Amran LLC, Narayan Powertech Private Limited and their joint venture Amtran Magnetics Private Limited (collectively, the “Amran/Narayan Group” or the “Company”), which comprise the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related combined statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in invested equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the combined financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for 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.

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditors Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

1

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Notes to Combined Financial Statements

1.

Description of Business

 

The accompanying combined financial statements present the combined assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Amran LLC (“Amran”), a Texas limited liability company based in Sugarland, Texas, and Narayan Powertech Private Limited (“Narayan”) based in Gujarat, India, as well as these entities’ joint venture Amtran Magnetics Private Limited (“AMPL”) also based in Gujarat, India, (collectively the “Amran/Narayan Group”, hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, “our”, “Business”, or the “Acquired Businesses”). The entities comprising the Amran/Narayan Group are under common management and controlled by members or affiliates of the Shah Family.

 

Amran/Narayan Group is engaged in the business of manufacturing low and medium voltage instrument transformers with manufacturing facilities in the United States and India. Our products are distributed throughout the world to over fifty countries.

 

2.

Basis of Presentation

 

These combined financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). They are derived from the separate financial statements and accounting records of Amran and Narayan along with their jointly owned subsidiary AMPL using the historical results of operations and historical cost basis of the assets and liabilities of each entity. For the year ended December 31, 2023, each entity operated separately, and stand-alone financial statements historically have been prepared by entity. These financial statements have been prepared on a combined basis, as they are under common management. The accompanying combined financial statements present only the historical financial information of the economic activities that comprise the Amran/Narayan Group business (“Combined Companies”). All intercompany transactions within the Business have been eliminated within the combined financial statements.

 

Invested Equity

 

Invested equity represents the controlling members’ interest in the recorded net assets of the Business, the cumulative net investment by the controlling members in the Business through the periods presented and includes the Business' cumulative operating results. All transactions between the Business and the controlling members are considered to be effectively settled through invested equity at the time the transactions are recorded.

 

Fiscal Year-End

 

The fiscal year-end for the combined Amran/Narayan Group is December 31.

 

3.

Misappropriation of Funds

 

In May 2023, the Combined Companies identified a misappropriation of the Business’s funds by the former District General Manager (“DGM-Accounts”) of Narayan. Management engaged independent legal counsel and forensic consultants to investigate the fraud. The investigation was completed in May 2024, and revealed that the former DGM-Accounts had embezzled approximately $10,000 dating back to 2018 through a circumvention of controls, which included unauthorized transfers from Narayan’s bank account at Union Bank of India to his personal account, by creating fictitious and altered bank statements to conceal the misappropriations.

Amran/Narayan Group
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 (USD in thousands unless otherwise stated)

 

Narayan and AMPL have also filed First Information Reports (“FIR”) with the jurisdictional police in relation to the embezzlement and as of the date hereof, the police investigation is ongoing independently. Of the total loss of $10,000, approximately $9,199 has been recorded in the beginning balance of retained earnings, while the portion of misappropriations occurring during the year ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $801, has been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Management has exhausted its efforts to recover the losses from the DGM-Accounts as of December 31, 2024.

 

4.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to provisions for credit losses, inventory, income taxes, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency of Narayan and AMPL’s operations is the local currency which is the Indian rupee. Assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency, using period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of these operations are translated using monthly average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustment is reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations and were not material for the period presented.

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Combined Companies expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Customer payment terms are typically less than one year and as such, transaction prices are not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Standalone selling prices for each performance obligation are generally stated in the contract. Variable consideration in the form of volume rebates is estimated based on contract terms and historical experience of actual results limited to the amount which is probable will not result in reversal of cumulative revenue recognized when the variable consideration is resolved. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

Contracts with customers are either a purchase order or sales order. A performance obligation is considered an individual unit sold. Prices negotiated with each individual customer are representative of the stand-alone selling price of the product. The Combined Companies typically satisfy the performance obligation at a point in time when control is transferred to customers. The point in time when control of goods is transferred is largely dependent on delivery terms.

 

Contract liabilities relate primarily to prepayments received from the Combined Companies’ customers before revenue is recognized and from volume rebates to customers. These amounts are included in other current liabilities in the Combined Balance Sheet. The Combined Companies do not have any material contract assets.

 

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

The Combined Companies include expenses in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the functional classification of the expenses. Cost of sales includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales effort, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. We record distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with salaried distribution personnel.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Combined Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash or deposits with financial institutions and deposits in highly liquid money market securities. Deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain defined limits. Bank deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

All trade account receivables are reported at the amount we ultimately expect to collect from the customer, net of allowances for expected credit losses. The allowances for expected credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade accounts receivable over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. We recorded $1,114 as an allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2023, which represents an increase of $256 from the balance at December 31, 2022 due to additional provisions for credit losses in 2023. Recoveries on bad debts for the period were not material.

Amran/Narayan Group
Notes to Combined Financial Statements
December 31, 2023 (USD in thousands unless otherwise stated)

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis or net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly, and write downs are made for obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventory, based primarily on management’s forecast of customer demand for those products in inventory.

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of investments in securities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. The securities are designated as available for sale and carried at fair value with the realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that we consider to be "other than temporary", the Combined Companies reduce the investment to fair value through a charge to the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented. The balance of marketable securities as of December 31, 2023, was approximately $70.

 

Leases

 

Our lease portfolio primarily consists of office, warehouse, and equipment leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent the right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term, which includes only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As our operating leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Lease payments included in the measurement of the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Several of our leases are with Narayanshree Infrastructure LLP (“Narayanshree”), an entity controlled by certain Narayan shareholders, and directly with Narayan shareholders.

 

We have elected not to recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases (leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less). We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense over the lease term. Options to renew a lease are not included in our assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the options will be renewed.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. A summary of the lives used for computing depreciation is as follows:

 

Production and warehouse equipment (in years)

    3 - 15  

Leasehold improvements (in years)

    4  

Furniture and equipment (in years)

    3 - 10  

 

Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the economic life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major improvements and additions are capitalized.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and lease ROU assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated fair value, obtained through appraisal or market quotations, or discounted future net cash flow estimates. We did not recognize any long-lived asset impairments during 2023.

 

Income Taxes

 

Amran is subject to flow-through treatment for federal income tax purposes as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary of an S-Corporation. As an S-Corporation, generally taxable income, deductions and credits flow directly to Amran’s shareholders. Amran is subject to the Texas Margin Tax, which is accrued and included in income tax expense. The Amran/Narayan Group is also subject to income taxes related to its operations in India.

 

We account for uncertainty in income taxes recognized on our combined financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position and adjust the unrecognized tax benefits in light of changes in facts and circumstances, such as changes in tax law, interactions with taxing authorities and developments in case law.

 

Warranties

 

The expected cost associated with warranty obligations on our products is recorded when the revenue is recognized. Our estimate of warranty cost is based on contract terms and historical warranty loss experience that is periodically adjusted for recent actual experience. Since warranty estimates are forecasts based on the best available information, claims costs may differ from amounts provided. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. At December 31, 2023, the warranty reserve was $100 and is included in other current liabilities in the Combined Balance Sheet.

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred. Total research and development costs, which are classified under selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income, were $175 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Combined Companies are subject to credit risk in the normal course of business primarily through trade receivables. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have not been material as we regularly monitor our credit risk to mitigate losses. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers prior to and throughout the life of the customer relationship. No individual customer accounts for more than 10% of revenues or accounts receivable in the period presented.

 

Fair Value Accounting

 

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, which utilizes observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following three-level fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities being measured within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023- 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is expected to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities on an annual basis to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and certain information about income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective adoption is permitted. The Combined Companies are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, which would be applicable to fiscal year 2026.

Debt

 

At December 31, 2023, we had borrowings outstanding under a cash credit agreement with Union Bank of India (“UBI”). The arrangement is a collateralized operational cash account, with the additional ability to make credit draws or overdrafts in excess of fixed deposits if additional capital is needed up to the borrowing limit. Any credit draws or overdrafts are collateralized by Narayan’s inventory and trade receivables less than 90 days aged, which have a carrying value of approximately $15,786 as of December 31, 2023. Interest is charged for any credit draws or overdrafts in excess of fixed deposits. There was an additional letter of credit with UBI, however, there were no borrowings or repayments during 2023, and the facility was closed during the year.

 

The total cash credit limit available is approximately $850 at both the beginning and end of the period, however, prior to the closure of the UBI letter of credit facility, the limit was shared between the line of credit facility and the cash credit account. The applicable borrowing rate of the facilities is EBLR (“External Benchmark Lending Rate”) plus a margin of .6%. At December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance on the cash clearing portion of the line was $364 which is included in current liabilities in the Combined Balance Sheet.

 

At December 31, 2023, we had a letter of credit facility open with HDFC Bank. The agreement had a total credit limit of approximately $600 at the beginning of the period and was extended to approximately $960 during the year. The facility is secured by Narayan’s current assets, and the applicable interest rate is 9%. There were no borrowings or repayments during the year, and there were no outstanding balances associated with this facility as of December 31, 2023.

Additionally, we lease certain other office equipment under month-to-month lease agreements. As noted above, several of our leases are with Narayanshree, an entity controlled by certain Narayan shareholders, and directly with Narayan shareholders. Total cash paid to Narayanshree and the Narayan shareholders was $246 and $34, respectively, under these related party leases for the year ended December 31, 2023.

A reconciliation from the U.S. Federal income tax rate to the total tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as follows:

 

Provision at statutory tax rate

    21.0 %

Impact of S Corporation Election (1)

    -14.0 %

Impact of foreign operations

    8.1 %

Effective income tax provision

    15.1 %

 

(1) Amran is subject to flow-through treatment for federal income tax purposes as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary of an S-Corporation. As an S-Corporation, generally taxable income, deductions and credits flow directly to Amrans shareholders.

 

Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the amount of our income or loss, the mix of income earned in the U.S. versus outside the U.S., the effective tax rate in each of the countries in which we earn income, and any one-time tax issues which occur during the period.

 

The income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by the following items: (i) a tax provision of $2,800 due to the mix of income in various jurisdictions; and (ii) tax effect of $4,800 related to the impact of the S-Corporation structure.

 

Significant components of the Combined Companies' deferred income taxes are as follows as of December 31, 2023:

The entities comprising the Amran/Narayan Group are under common management and controlled by members or affiliates of the Shah Family.

 

Amran/Narayan Group is engaged in the business of manufacturing low and medium voltage instrument transformers with manufacturing facilities in the United States and India. Our products are distributed throughout the world to over fifty countries.

 

2.

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying combined financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. The information at June 30, 2024 and the results of the Amran/Narayan Group’s operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are unaudited. They are derived from the separate financial statements and accounting records of Amran and Narayan along with their jointly owned subsidiary AMPL using the historical results of operations and historical cost basis of the assets and liabilities of each entity. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and as of December 31, 2024, each entity operated separately and stand-alone financial statements historically have been prepared by entity. These financial statements have been prepared on a combined basis, as they are under common management.

 

Management believes the unaudited condensed combined financial statements contain all necessary adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, to state fairly, in all material respects, Amran/Narayan Group’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period presented. These unaudited condensed financial statements and notes hereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Amran/Narayan Group and notes thereto included elsewhere herein. There were no material changes to Amran/Narayan Group’s significant accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2024. The results of operations for the interim period presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a whole. The accompanying condensed combined financial statements present only the historical financial information of the economic activities that comprise the Amran/Narayan Group business (“Combined Companies”). All intercompany transactions within the Business have been eliminated within the condensed combined financial statements.

 

Invested Equity

 

Invested equity represents the controlling members’ interest in the recorded net assets of the Business, the cumulative net investment by the controlling members in the Business through the periods presented, and includes the Business' cumulative operating results. All transactions between the Business and the controlling members are considered to be effectively settled through invested equity at the time the transactions are recorded.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and the disclosure of assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to provisions for credit losses, inventory, income taxes, and the recoverability of long-lived assets. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The functional currency of Narayan and AMPL’s operations is the local currency which is the Indian rupee. Assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency, using period-end exchange rates. Revenues and expenses of these operations are translated using monthly average exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustment is reported as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in results of operations and were not material for the period presented.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Combined Companies expect to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Customer payment terms are typically less than one year and as such, transaction prices are not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component. Standalone selling prices for each performance obligation are generally stated in the contract. Variable consideration in the form of volume rebates is estimated based on contract terms and historical experience of actual results limited to the amount which is probable will not result in reversal of cumulative revenue recognized when the variable consideration is resolved. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.

 

Contracts with customers are either a purchase order or sales order. A performance obligation is considered an individual unit sold. Prices negotiated with each individual customer are representative of the stand-alone selling price of the product. The Combined Companies typically satisfy the performance obligation at a point in time when control is transferred to customers. The point in time when control of goods is transferred is largely dependent on delivery terms.

 

Contract liabilities relate primarily to prepayments received from the Combined Companies’ customers before revenue is recognized and from volume rebates to customers. These amounts are included in other current liabilities in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. The Combined Companies do not have any material contract assets.

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

The Combined Companies include expenses in either cost of sales or selling, general and administrative expenses based upon the functional classification of the expenses. Cost of sales includes expenses associated with the acquisition, inspection, manufacturing and receiving of materials for use in the manufacturing process. These costs include inbound freight charges, purchasing and receiving costs, inspection costs, internal transfer costs as well as depreciation, amortization, wages, benefits and other costs that are incurred directly or indirectly to support the manufacturing process. Selling, general and administrative includes expenses associated with the distribution of our products, sales effort, administration costs and other costs that are not incurred to support the manufacturing process. We record distribution costs associated with the sale of inventory as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. These expenses include warehousing costs, outbound freight charges and costs associated with salaried distribution personnel.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Combined Companies consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash or deposits with financial institutions and deposits in highly liquid money market securities. Deposits with financial institutions in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to certain defined limits. Bank deposits at times may exceed federally insured limits.

 

Accounts Receivable, net

 

All trade account receivables are reported at the amount we ultimately expect to collect from the customer, net of allowances for expected credit losses. The allowances for expected credit losses represent management’s best estimate of the credit losses expected from our trade accounts receivable over the life of the underlying assets. Assets with similar risk characteristics are pooled together for determination of their current expected credit losses. We regularly perform detailed reviews of our pooled assets to evaluate the collectability of receivables based on a combination of past, current, and future financial and qualitative factors that may affect customers’ ability to pay. In circumstances where we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be collected. We recorded $1,426 as an allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2024, which represents an increase of $312 from the balance at December 31, 2023, due to additional provisions for credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Recoveries on bad debts for the period were not material.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis or net realizable value. Inventory quantities on hand are reviewed regularly, and write downs are made for obsolete, slow moving, and non-saleable inventory, based primarily on management’s forecast of customer demand for those products in inventory.

 

Marketable Securities

 

Marketable securities consist of investments in securities, mutual funds and corporate bonds. The securities are designated as available for sale and carried at fair value with the realized and unrealized gains and losses included in the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. If any adjustment to fair value reflects a decline in the value of the investment that the Combined Company considers to be "other than temporary", the Combined Companies reduce the investment to fair value through a charge to the Condensed Combined Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. No such adjustments were necessary during the periods presented. The balance of marketable securities as of June 30, 2024, was approximately $71.

Leases

 

Our lease portfolio primarily consists of office, warehouse, and equipment leases. We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets (“ROU”) represent the right to use the underlying assets for the lease term, and the lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the leases. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term, which includes only payments that are fixed and determinable at the time of commencement. As our operating leases do not generally provide an implicit rate, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments in the same currency, for a similar term, in a similar economic environment. Lease payments included in the measurement of the operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate, and the exercise price of a lessee option to purchase the underlying asset if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. Several of our leases are with Narayanshree Infrastructure LLP (“Narayanshree”), an entity controlled by certain Narayan shareholders, and directly with Narayan shareholders.

 

We have elected not to recognize operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases (leases with an initial lease term of 12 months or less). We recognize the lease payments associated with short-term leases as an expense over the lease term. Options to renew a lease are not included in our assessment unless there is reasonable certainty that the options will be renewed.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. A summary of the lives used for computing depreciation is as follows:

 

Production and warehouse equipment (in years)

    3 - 15  

Leasehold improvements (in years)

    4  

Furniture and equipment (in years)

    3 - 10  

 

Maintenance and repairs that do not extend the economic life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for major improvements and additions are capitalized.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, including property and equipment and lease ROU assets, to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. In assessing long-lived assets for impairment, assets are grouped with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset group to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset group. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets, impairment is measured by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the estimated fair value, obtained through appraisal or market quotations, or discounted future net cash flow estimates. We did not recognize any long-lived asset impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

Income Taxes

 

Amran is subject to flow-through treatment for federal income tax purposes as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary of an S-Corporation. As an S-Corporation, generally taxable income, deductions and credits flow directly to Amran’s shareholders. Amran is subject to the Texas Margin Tax, which is accrued and included in income tax expense. The Amran/Narayan Group is also subject to income taxes related to its operations in India.

We account for uncertainty in income taxes recognized on our condensed combined financial statements in accordance with the accounting guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. We assess whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position and adjust the unrecognized tax benefits in light of changes in facts and circumstances, such as changes in tax law, interactions with taxing authorities and developments in case law.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Combined Companies are subject to credit risk in the normal course of business primarily through trade receivables. Historically, the losses related to credit risk have not been material as we regularly monitor our credit risk to mitigate losses. We evaluate the creditworthiness of our customers prior to and throughout the life of the customer relationship. As of June 30, 2024, one customer accounted for 13.5% of total accounts receivable. No customers accounted for more than 10% of revenues in the period presented.

 

Fair Value Accounting

 

Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

The guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value, which utilizes observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect management’s market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following three-level fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for an identical asset or liability in an active market.

 

Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for a similar asset or liability in an active market or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement of assets and liabilities being measured within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023- 09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU is expected to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities on an annual basis to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold, and certain information about income taxes paid. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU are required to be applied on a prospective basis and retrospective adoption is permitted. The Combined Companies are currently evaluating the effect of adopting this new accounting guidance, which would be applicable to fiscal year 2026.

Debt

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had borrowings outstanding under a cash credit agreement with Union Bank of India (“UBI”). The arrangement is a collateralized operational cash account, with the additional ability to make credit draws or overdrafts in excess of fixed deposits if additional capital is needed up to the borrowing limit. Any credit draws or overdrafts are collateralized by Narayan’s inventory and trade receivables less than 90 days aged, which have a carrying value of approximately $20,317 and $15,786 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total cash credit limit available is approximately $850. The outstanding balance on the cash clearing portion of the line was $517 and $364 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in current liabilities in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. The applicable borrowing rate of the facilities is EBLR (“External Benchmark Lending Rate”) plus a margin of .6%.

 

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a letter of credit facility open with HDFC Bank. The agreement has a total credit limit of approximately $960 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The facility is secured by Narayan’s current assets, and the applicable interest rate is 9%. There were no borrowings or repayments during the year, and there were no outstanding balances associated with this facility as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

Income Taxes

 

The Combined Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 16.8%. Changes in the effective tax rates from period to period may be significant as they depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the amount of our income or loss, the mix of income earned in the U.S. versus outside the U.S., the effective tax rate in each of the countries in which we earn income, and any one-time tax issues which occur during the period.

Subsequent Events

 

In preparing these financial statements, the Combined Companies have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through January 13, 2025, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

 

On October 28, 2024, Standex International Corporation (“Standex”) acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interest in Amran LLC (“Amran”) pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Amran Purchase Agreement”) in consideration for an aggregate $180,360 (the “Amran Consideration”), consisting of $153,270 in cash consideration and 152,299 shares of Standex common stock valued at $27,090 ($177.87/share), subject to customary closing adjustments.

Exhibit 99.3

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

On October 28, 2024, Standex International Corporation (“Standex” or the “Company”), acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Amran, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Amran”) for consideration including i) a cash payment in the amount of $153.3 million and ii) 152,299 shares of Standex common stock.

 

Also on October 28, 2024 and simultaneous with its acquisition of Amran, Standex, through its wholly owned Singaporean subsidiary, Mold-Tech Singapore PTE LTD (“Mold-Tech Singapore”), acquired 90.1% of the capital stock of Narayan Powertech Private Limited, a private company incorporated under the laws of India (“Narayan”) for a cash payment in the amount of $261.6 million.

 

The acquisitions of Amran and Narayan (together, “Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition”) were determined to constitute a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended by the final rule, Release No.33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses,” and have been adjusted to include estimated transaction accounting adjustments which give effect to the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition and the application of the acquisition method of accounting under U.S. GAAP. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the preliminary purchase price is allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, with any excess purchase price allocated to goodwill. The pro forma adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and currently available information and assumptions that Standex’s management believes are reasonable. The notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements provide a discussion of how such adjustments were derived and presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Changes in facts and circumstances or discovery of new information may result in revised estimates. Actual results and valuations may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024 have been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with:

 

 

(i)

the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Standex and accompanying notes included in Standex’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, incorporated by reference;

 

 

(ii)

the historical audited combined financial statements of the Amran/Narayan Group and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, appearing within this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1; and

 

 

(iii)

the historical unaudited condensed combined interim financial statements of the Amran/Narayan Group and accompanying notes for the six months ended June 30, 2024, appearing within this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations for Standex and the historical consolidated statements of operations for the Amran/Narayan Group for the same period. As the Amran/Narayan Group’s fiscal year end differed from Standex’s, the consolidated statement of operations was derived from subtracting the six months ended June 30, 2023 from the year ended December 31, 2023 and adding the six months ended June 30, 2024 to form a full year ended June 30, 2024.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition as if it occurred on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended June 30, 2024 gives effect to the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition as if it occurred on July 1, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are for illustrative and informational purposes only and are not intended to represent what Standex’s results of operations or financial position would have been had the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated, or what they will be for any future periods. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings, other synergies as a result of the acquisition, or integration costs.

On October 28, 2024, Standex International Corporation (“Standex” or the “Company”), acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Amran, LLC (“Amran”), a Texas limited liability company from the Amran membership interest holders (“Amran Sellers”) for consideration including: i) a cash payment in the amount of $153.3 million; and ii) 152,299 shares of Standex common stock, subject to customary closing adjustments (the “Amran Acquisition”.

 

Also on October 28, 2024 and simultaneous with its acquisition of Amran, Standex, through its wholly owned Singaporean subsidiary, Mold-Tech Singapore PTE LTD (“Mold-Tech Singapore”), acquired 90.1% of the capital stock of Narayan Powertech Private Limited and its joint venture with Amran, Amtran Magnetics Pvt. Ltd. (“Amtran”) each a private company incorporated under the laws of India (“Narayan”, and together with Amran and the parties’ joint venture, Amtran, the “Amran/Narayan Group”) from the Narayan capital stockholders (“Narayan Sellers”) for a cash payment of in the amount of $261.6 million, subject to customary closing adjustments (the “Narayan Acquisition”, and together with the Amran Acquisition, the “Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition”). Subject to receipt of regulatory approval from the Reserve Bank of India (“RBI”), Mold-Tech Singapore will acquire the remaining 9.90% of the capital stock of Narayan in a second closing, in consideration for shares of Standex common stock (the “Narayan Issued Securities”), reflecting the equivalent of $27.9 million, divided by the lesser of the closing price and the average closing price of Standex’s common stock measured over a 30-day trading period preceding such second closing date (the “Share Swap”).

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Narayan Acquisition, Standex, Mold-Tech Singapore and certain of the stockholders of Narayan named therein (the “Narayan Minority Shareholders”) entered into a Shareholders’ Agreement dated as of October 28, 2024 (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”). The Shareholders’ Agreement provides that in the event RBI does not provide its approval for the Share Swap by October 28, 2025, then the remaining 9.90% of the outstanding capital stock of Narayan shall be subject to put and call options which may be exercised from time to time in accordance with schedules set forth in the Shareholders’ Agreement. The purchase price for the exercise of any such put or call option shall be based on the greater of (a) the fair market value of the securities of Narayan as of the October 28, 2024 and (b) Narayan’s valuation based on a formula using Narayan’s adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months prior to exercise of any such put and call option. The Shareholders’ Agreement also includes certain minority shareholder rights provided to the Narayan Minority Shareholders, including preemptive rights, rights to appoint directors, protective provisions for certain matters and tag-along rights. The Narayan Shareholders’ Agreement terminates automatically upon consummation of the Share Swap or at such time as all of the Narayan Minority Shareholders and their permitted transferees no longer hold any capital stock of Narayan.

 

Note 2 Basis of Presentation

 

The Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition is being accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting under US GAAP, in accordance with the provisions of ASC 805, Business Combinations, (“ASC 805”) which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at their acquisition date fair value. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines the term “fair value” as “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.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgement could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

 

Standex and the Amran/Narayan Group’s historical financial statements were prepared in accordance with US GAAP. Based on an analysis of Standex and the Amran/Narayan Group’s significant accounting policies, the Company has not identified any material differences in accounting policies that would have an impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not assume any differences in accounting policies.

The pro forma adjustments presented in this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of this Form 8-K and such estimates are subject to revision as further information is obtained. Accordingly, the pro forma adjustments for the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition are preliminary and subject to further adjustment as additional information becomes available and the various analyses and other valuations are performed. Any adjustments may have a significant effect on total assets, total liabilities, total equity, operating expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses, and such results may be significant.

 

The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments are described in the accompanying notes to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be indicative of Standex’s future performance and does not necessarily reflect what Standex’s financial position and results of operations would have been had these transactions occurred at the beginning of the period presented.

 

Further, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Standex following the completion of the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition. Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not reflect any revenue enhancements, anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, or cost savings that may be achieved related to the Amran/Narayan Group Acquisition, nor does it reflect any costs or expenditures that may be required to achieve any possible synergies.

 

Standex will finalize the accounting for the acquisition as soon as practicable within the measurement period, but in no event later than one year from October 28, 2024, in accordance with ASC 805.
