** Adjusted operating margin, adjusted net inc ome, and adjusted earnings per diluted share are not measures determined in ac cordance with generally
acc epted acc ounting principles in the United States, c ommonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing this non- GAAP information
is important for investors and other readers of Graham's financial statements, as they are used as analytic al indic ators by Graham's management to better
understand operating performanc e. See Graham's reconciliations of net (loss) inc ome to adjusted net income and operating (loss) profit to adjusted
operating profit inc luded in this annual report.

(1) Adjusted operating margin is defined as c onsolidated operating income adjusted for a nonrec urring restruc turing charge, goodwill and other impairments,
and a charge assoc iated with the revaluation of the nuclear business, represented as a perc entage of sales.

(2) Adjusted net inc ome is defined as GAAP net inc ome excluding a nonrec urring restruc turing charge, goodwill and other impairments, a charge associated
with the revaluation of the nuc lear business, and the impac t of the new tax law. Adjusted earnings per diluted share is adjusted net income presented on a
per share basis.

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS

Fiscal 2019 provided encouraging results as key end markets recovered and consequently our financial
performance improved relative to the cycle bottom we realized during fiscal 2018. Admittedly, our fiscal
2019 revenue and financial results are not comparable to a few years ago, however, this past downturn was
particularly deep and long, taking time to recover.

Being that Graham is a late cycle business, it is typically 18 to 24 months following a general economic
upswing before strong improvement is noted in our financial performance.

(1) Graham believes that, when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, adjusted operating

profit and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP measures, help in the understanding of its operating performance. See
Graham’s reconciliations of operating (loss) profit to adjusted operating profit and reconciliations of net (loss) income to
adjusted EBITDA included in this annual report.

While our fiscal 2019 new order level did decline, it must be dissected to understand the fundamental
improvement experienced by our traditional end markets, crude oil refining and chemical/petrochemical.
Orders for the U.S. Navy, while large in value, can and did lead to a year-over-year consolidated decline in
new orders while the underlying business new orders expanded. The graph below highlights an
improvement in order levels from our traditional end markets, with the trailing 12 month new order level up
approximately 100% as of March 31, 2019, compared with our trough at September 30, 2017.

Consolidated Backlog & Trailing 12 Month New Orders for Non-Navy and Non-Nuclear End Markets

(in millions)

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we completed a detailed analysis of our Energy Steel business that
principally serves the commercial nuclear utility market and we decided to pursue a sale of that business.
We concluded that our market position eroded and was comparatively weaker than more vertically
integrated competitors. We believe the business will better fit a strategic buyer with different vertical
integration capabilities and goals. Upon completing the sale of Energy Steel, which we anticipate will occur
within the first half of fiscal 2020, and extracting its revenue and costs from fiscal 2020 results, the result is
expected to be accretive to gross and operating margins and to increase earnings per share.

Our fiscal 2020 guidance of $95 to $100 million of revenue excludes Energy Steel sales. As such, on a
comparable basis, revenue is projected to expand 14% to 20% in fiscal 2020 compared with fiscal 2019.

Our strategic direction and resource allocation priorities are outlined as follows:

Grow stable revenue base to expand earnings and reduce volatility

• Greater focus on our installed base

rmance improvement engineers

o Localize perforr
o Build and nurture end-user relations
o Educate and transfer knowledge
o Utilize business information tools to focus resources
o Focus M&A resources to expand product or service

• Expand participation and market share with U.S. Navy

o Expand market share within surface ship and submarine programs forff
o Diversify products to expand revenue streams
o Focus M&A resources in this end market to accelerate product diversification

Expand participation and market share in oil refining and chemical industry end markets

•

Localize market development and selling resources in emerging markets, particularly through our
China and India subsidiaries

o Build out sales and application engineering resources in these regions
o Proactively deploy our shared-margin execution model to offer local fabrication without

elevating fixed costs

o Sharpen our consultative selling process for price-focused end markets

Invest in our workforf ce

o Continue to invest in modern machine tools and welding equipment to improve productivity

and quality

o Train and develop our workforce to improve lead time and costs, reduce errors and enhance

effective communication

o Enhance perforff mance management techniques to link employees to corporate strategy and

goals, and to unlock the full potential of our talented workforce

ation related to quality and price expectations, dominance

Our traditional markets are undergoing transformff
of traditional EPCs, Western EPCs shifting resources to low-cost regions in Asia, and growing acceptance of
low-cost competitors. We believe our strategy is responsive to the changing global marketplace. This
includes building a robust pipeline of M&A prospects with conviction for closing the right acquisitions,
focusing on our installed base, building deeper end-user relationships, concentrating resources on more
stable revenue streams, structuring to win in underserved emerging markets and ongoing workforce
development. We believe that these tactics provide solid runway for revenue growth and profit improvement
while also positively addressing earnings volatility.

In closing, the workforce at Graham is extraordinary and I thank them for the steadfast commitment to our
Company and its customers. The leadership team is strong and has craftedff
value as we traverse a transformation within our traditional end markets. I am appreciative of the high
caliber team I work with that conceptualizes and implements strategies for long-term growth. Your Board is
very much focused on strategy and its execution, developing options to accelerate value creation and clear
thinking about future direction of our end markets. Your management and Board perform as a team,
committed to serving all stakeholders with constant focus on shareholder value creation. Lastly, I thank you,
our shareholders, for your investment in GHM and your trust placed in me, the leadership team and the
Board.

Adjusted operating profit is defined as consolidated operating profit before a nonrecurring restructuring charge, goodwill and other impairments, and a charge associated with the revaluation of the commercial nuclear utility
business. Adjusted operating margin is Adjusted operating profit divided by sales. Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin are not measures determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, commonly known as GAAP. Nevertheless, Graham believes that providing non-GAAP information such as Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin are important for investors and
other readers of Graham's financial statements, as they are used as analytical indicators by Graham's management to better understand operating performance. Because Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin
are non-GAAP measures and are thus susceptible to varying calculations, Adjusted operating profit and Adjusted operating margin, as presented, may not be directly comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share data)

Item 1.

Business

Graham Corporation ("we," "us," "our") is a global business that designs, manufactures and sells critical equipment for the
energy, defense and chemical/petrochemical industries.  Our energy markets include oil refining, cogeneration, and alternative power.  
For  the  defense  industry,  our  equipment  is  used  in  nuclear  propulsion  power  systems  for  the  U.S.  Navy.    For  the  chemical  and 
petrochemical industries, our equipment is used in fertilizer, ethylene, methanol and downstream chemical facilities. Graham’s global 
brand  is  built  upon  our  world-renowned  engineering  expertise  in  vacuum  and  heat  transfer  technology,  responsive  and  flexible
customer  service  and  high  quality  standards.    We  design  and  manufacture  custom-engineered  ejectors,  vacuum  pumping  systems,
surface condensers and vacuum systems.  Our equipment can also be found in other diverse applications such as metal refining, pulp 
and  paper  processing,  water  heating,  refrigeration,  desalination,  food  processing,  pharmaceutical,  heating,  ventilating  and  air
conditioning.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Batavia, New York.  We have production facilities located with our headquarters in 
Batavia.    We  also  have  a  wholly-owned  foreign  subsidiary,  Graham  Vacuum  and  Heat  Transfer  Technology  (Suzhou)  Co.,  Ltd.
("GVHTT"), located in Suzhou, China.  GVHTT provides sales and engineering support for us in the People’s Republic of China and
management  oversight  throughout  Southeast  Asia.    In  the  fiscal  quarter  ended  December  31,  2018,  we  established  Graham  India 
Private  Limited  ("GIPL")  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary.    GIPL,  located  in  Ahmedabad,  India,  serves  as  a  sales  and  market 
development office focusing on the refining, petrochemical and fertilizer markets.

We  were  incorporated  in  Delaware  in  1983  and  are  the  successor  to  Graham  Manufacturing  Co.,  Inc.,  which  was 

incorporated in New York in 1936.  Our stock is traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "GHM".  

Unless indicated otherwise, dollar figures in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are reported in thousands. 

Business for Sale

Due  to  the  changes  in  the  commercial  nuclear  utility  industry  over  the  last  several  years  and  the  subsequent  decline  in
performance  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Energy  Steel  &  Supply  Co.  ("Energy  Steel"),  located  in  Lapeer,  Michigan,  we  have
decided the business is better suited for another partner and have elected to divest of it.  We are in discussions to sell the business. 
Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we received an offer for the purchase of Energy Steel.  During fiscal 2019, Energy Steel had $8,336 in 
net sales. 

Our Products, Customers and Markets

Our products are used in a wide range of industrial process applications, primarily in energy markets, including:
• Petroleum Refining

⎯ conventional oil refining
⎯ oil sands extraction and upgrading

• Defense

⎯ propulsion systems for nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and submarines

• Chemical and Petrochemical Processing

⎯ ethylene, methanol and nitrogen producing plants 
⎯ fertilizer plants
⎯ plastics, resins and fibers plants
⎯ downstream petrochemical plants
⎯ coal-to-chemicals plants
⎯ gas-to-liquids plants
• Power Generation /Alternative Energy

⎯ biomass plants
⎯ cogeneration power plants
⎯ geothermal power plants
⎯ ethanol plants
⎯ fossil fuel plants

3

• Other

⎯ oleo chemical plants
⎯ air conditioning and water heating systems
⎯ food processing plants
⎯ pharmaceutical plants
⎯ liquefied natural gas production facilities

Our principal customers include end users of our products in their manufacturing, refining and power generation processes,
large engineering companies that build installations for companies in such industries, and the original equipment manufacturers who
combine our products with their equipment prior to its sale to end users.  

Our products are sold by a team of sales engineers we employ directly as well as by independent sales representatives located 
worldwide.  There may be short periods of time, a fiscal year for example, where one customer may make up greater than 10% of our 
business.  However, if this occurs in multiple years, it is usually not the same customer or project over such a multi-year period.  One 
customer did account for greater than 10% of our business in fiscal 2019.  

As a result of our diversification efforts to more extensively support the U.S. Navy, we have increased our domestic sales in 
2019.  Over a business cycle, our domestic sales will generally range between 50% and 75% of total sales.  The mix of domestic and 
international sales can vary from year to year.  

Our backlog at March 31, 2019 was $132,127 compared with $117,946 at March 31, 2018.  Excluding backlog associated 

with assets and liabilities held for sale, backlog on March 31, 2019 was $124,088.

Our Strengths

Our core strengths include:

• We have a value-enhancing sales and development platform.  We believe our customer-facing platform of sales, project 
estimating and application engineering are competitive advantages.  We have tools and capabilities that we believe allow
us to move quickly and comprehensively as customers evaluate how best to integrate our equipment into their facilities. 
We believe that our early and deep involvement adds significant value to the process and is an important competitive 
differentiator  in  the  long  sales  cycle  industries  we  serve.    We  believe  customers  need  our  engineering  and  fabrication 
expertise early in the project life cycle to understand how best to specify our equipment.  

• We are renowned for our strong capabilities to handle complex, custom orders.  The orders we receive are extremely 
complex  and  we  believe  that  the  order  management  platforms  in  our  businesses  provide  a  second  competitive 
differentiator for our company.  Typically there is intense interaction between our project management teams and the end 
user or its engineering firm as product design and quality requirements are finalized after an order is placed.  We have
built strong capabilities which we believe allows us to successfully execute high quality, engineered-to-order and build-
to-spec  process-critical  equipment.    In  our  markets,  we  believe  that  order  administration,  risk  management,  cost 
containment,  quality  and  engineering  documentation  are  as  important  as  the  equipment  itself.    The  supplier  selection 
process begins with assessing whether a supplier can manage all aspects of an order.

• We maintain a responsive, flexible production environment.  We believe our operations platform is adept at handling low 
volume, high mix orders that are highly customized fabrications.  We also believe that our production environment is 
much different from a highly engineered standard products business.  While certain equipment in a product group may 
look  similar,  there  are  often  subtle  differences  which  are  required  to  deliver  the  desired  specification.    Also,  during
production it is not uncommon for customer-driven engineering changes to occur that alter the configuration of what had 
been initially released into production.  The markets that we serve demand this flexible operating model.

• We provide robust after-the-sale technical support.  Our engineering and service personnel go to customer sites to audit 
the  performance  of  our  equipment,  provide  operator  training  and  troubleshoot  performance  issues.    Technical  service
after a sale is important to our customer as we believe their focus is always on leveraging our equipment to maximize its 
capabilities.

• We have a highly trained workforce.  We maintain a long-tenured, highly skilled and extremely flexible workforce.

4

• We have a strong balance sheet. We maintain significant cash and investments on hand, and no bank debt, which we

believe provides us with the flexibility to pursue our business strategy, including growth by acquisition. 

• We  have  a  high-quality  credit  facility.    Our  credit  facilities  provide  us  with  a  $30,000  borrowing  capacity  that  is 

expandable at our option to provide us with up to a total of $55,000 in borrowing capacity.

Our Strategy

We intend to strategically leverage and deploy our assets, including but not limited to, financial, technical, manufacturing and 
know-how, in order to capture expanded market share within the geographies and industries we serve, expand revenue opportunities in
adjacent and countercyclical markets and continually improve our results of operations in order to:

• Generate sustainable earnings growth;

•

•

Reduce earnings volatility;

Improve our operating performance;

• Generate strong cash flow from operations; 

• Meet or exceed our customers’ expectations;

•

•

Improve the value we provide to our customers; and

Provide an acceptable return to our shareholders.

To accomplish our objectives and maintain strategic focus, we believe that we must:

•

•

•

•

•

Successfully  deploy  our  corporate  assets  to  expand  our  market  share  in  the  industries  we  currently  serve,  access  and 
develop a stronger presence in industries where we do not have a historically strong presence, and pursue acquisitions,
partnerships  and/or  other  business  combinations  in  order  to  enter  new  geographic  or  industrial  markets,  new  product 
lines or expand our coverage in existing markets.  

Identify organic growth opportunities and consummate acquisitions where we believe the strength of the Graham brand 
will provide us with the ability to expand and complement our core businesses.  We intend to extend our existing product 
lines,  move  into  complementary  product  lines  and  expand  our  global  sales  presence  in  order  to  further  broaden  our 
existing markets and reach additional markets.

Expand  our  market  presence  in  the  U.S.  Navy's  Nuclear  Propulsion  Program.    We  will  continue  to  demonstrate  our 
proficiency by successfully executing the complex Nuclear Propulsion Program orders that are currently in our backlog 
by  controlling  both  cost  and  risk,  providing  high-quality  custom  fabrication  to  exacting  military  quality  control 
requirements and through disciplined project management. We intend to continue to be a preferred supplier of equipment 
to the U.S. Navy’s Nuclear Propulsion Program for both surface and submarine vessels.

Continue to invest in people and capital equipment to meet the anticipated long-term growth in demand for our products 
in the oil refining, petrochemical processing and power generation industries, especially in emerging markets.  

Continue  to  deliver  the  highest  quality  products  and  solutions  that  enable  our  customers  to  achieve  their  operating
objectives.  We believe that our high quality and technical expertise differentiates us from our competitors and allows us 
to win new orders based on value.

In order to effectively implement our strategy, we also believe that we must continue to invest in and leverage our unique 

customer value enhancing differentiators, including:

•

•

Invest  in  engineering  resources  and  technology  in  order  to  advance  our  vacuum  and  heat  transfer  technology  market 
penetration.

Enhance our engineering capacity and capability, especially in connection with product design, in order to more quickly 
respond to existing and future customer demands and opportunities.  

5

•

Invest  in  our  manufacturing  operations  to  improve  productivity  where  needed  and  identify  out-sourced  capacity  to 
complement our growth strategies.

• Accelerate our ability to quickly and efficiently bid on available projects through our ongoing implementation of front-

end bid automation and design processes.

Invest in resources to further serve the U.S. Navy in our core competency areas of engineering and manufacturing, where 
our commercial capabilities meet U.S. Navy requirements.

Implement and expand upon our operational efficiencies through ongoing refinement of our flexible manufacturing flow 
model as well as achievement of other cost efficiencies. 

Focus on improving quality to eliminate errors and rework, thereby reducing lead time and enhancing productivity.

Further develop a cross-trained, flexible workforce able to adjust to variable product demands by our customers.

Our  success  depends  in  part  on  our  ability  to  protect  our  proprietary  technologies.    We  rely  on  a  combination  of  patent, 
copyright, trademark, trade secret laws and contractual confidentiality provisions to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  We
also depend heavily on the brand recognition of the Graham name in the marketplace.

Availability of Raw Materials

Historically, we have not been materially adversely impacted by the availability of raw materials.

Working Capital Practices

Our business does not require us to carry significant amounts of inventory or materials beyond what is needed for work in 
process.    We  negotiate  progress  payments  from  our  customers  on  our  large  projects  to  finance  costs  incurred.    We  do  not  provide
rights to return goods, or payment terms to customers that we consider to be extended in the context of the industries we serve.  We do
provide for warranty claims.

Environmental Matters

We  believe  that  we  are  in  material  compliance  with  applicable  existing  environmental  laws  and  regulations.    We  do  not 
anticipate that our compliance with federal, state and local laws regulating the discharge of material in the environment or otherwise 
pertaining  to  the  protection  of  the  environment  will  have  a  material  adverse  effect  upon  our  capital  expenditures,  earnings  or 
competitive position.

t

Seasonality

No material part of our business is seasonal in nature.  However, our business is highly cyclical in nature as it depends on the 

willingness of our customers to invest in major capital projects.

Research and Development Activities

During  fiscal  2019,  fiscal  2018  and  the  fiscal  year  ended  March  31,  2017,  which  we  refer  to  as  "fiscal  2017",  we  spent 
$3,538,  $3,211  and  $3,863,  respectively,  on  research  and  development  activities  related  both  to  new  products  and  services  and  the 
ongoing improvement of existing products and services.

Employees

As of March 31, 2019, we had 337 employees.  We believe that our relationship with our employees is good.

Item 1A.       Risk Factors 

Our business and operations are subject to numerous risks, many of which are described below and elsewhere in this Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  If any of the events described below or elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K occur, our business and 
results of operations could be harmed.  Additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or which we currently 
deem to be immaterial, could also harm our business and results of operations.

Risks related to our business

The  markets  we  serve  include  the  petroleum  refining  and  petrochemical  industries.  These  industries  are  both  highly  cyclical  in 
nature and dependent on the prices of crude oil and natural gas as well as on the differential between the two prices.  As a result,
volatility in the prices of oil and natural gas may negatively impact our operating results.

A substantial portion of our revenue is derived from the sale of our products to companies in the chemical, petrochemical, 
petroleum  refining  and  power  generating  industries,  or  to  firms  that  design  and  construct  facilities  for  these  industries.    These
industries  are  highly  cyclical  and  have  historically  experienced  severe  downturns.    The  prices  of  crude  oil  and  natural  gas  have
historically been very volatile, as evidenced by the extreme volatility in oil prices over the past few years.  During times of significant 
volatility  in  the  market  for  crude  oil  or  natural  gas,  our  customers  often  refrain  from  placing  orders  until  the  market  stabilizes  and 
future demand projections are clearer. If our customers refrain from placing orders with us, our revenue would decline and there could 
be a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  We believe that over the long-term, demand for our products
will  expand  in  the  petrochemical,  petroleum  refining  and  power  generating  industries.    A  sustained  deterioration  in  any  of  the 

f

7

industries  we  serve  would  materially  harm  our  business  and  operating  results  because  our  customers  would  not  likely  have  the
resources necessary to purchase our products, nor would they likely have the need to build additional facilities or improve existing
facilities.    As  we  have  seen  in  the  recent  past,  a  cyclical  downturn  can  occur  suddenly  and  result  in  extremely  different  financial 
performance sequentially from quarter to quarter or on an annual comparative basis due to an inability to rapidly adjust costs.

The relative costs of oil, natural gas, nuclear power, hydropower and numerous forms of alternative energy production may have a
material adverse impact on our business and operating results.

Global  and  regional  energy  supply  comes  from  many  sources,  including  oil,  natural  gas,  coal,  hydro,  nuclear,  solar,  wind, 
geothermal  and  biomass,  among  others.    A  cost  or  supply  shift  among  these  sources  could  negatively  impact  our  business 
opportunities  going  forward  and  the  profitability  of  those  opportunities.    A  demand  shift,  where  technological  advances  favor  the 
utilization of one or a few sources of energy may also impact the demand for our products.  If demand shifts in a manner that increases
energy utilization outside of our traditional customer base or expertise, our business and financial results could be materially adversely 
affected.  In addition, governmental policy can affect the relative importance of various forms of energy sources.  For example, non-
fossil based sources may require and often receive government tax incentives to foster investment.  If these incentives become more
prominent, our business and results of operations could suffer.

t

Our business is highly competitive.  If we are unable to successfully implement our business strategy and compete against entitiestt
with greater resources than us or against competitors who have a relative cost advantage, we risk losing market share to current 
and future competitors.

We  encounter  intense  competition  in  all  of  our  markets.    Some  of  our  present  and  potential  competitors  may  have 
substantially greater financial, marketing, technical or manufacturing resources.  Our competitors may also be able to respond more 
quickly to new technologies or processes and changes in customer demands and they may be able to devote greater resources towards
the development, promotion and sale of their products.  Certain of our competitors may also have a cost advantage compared to us due
to their geography or changes in relative currency values and may compete against us based on price.  This may affect our ability to
secure  new  business  and  maintain  our  level  of  profitability.    In  addition,  our  current  and  potential  competitors  may  make  strategic 
acquisitions  or  establish  cooperative  relationships  among  themselves  or  with  third  parties  that  increase  their  ability  to  address  the
needs of our customers.  Moreover, customer buying patterns can change if customers become more price sensitive and accepting of 
lower  cost  suppliers.    If  we  cannot  compete  successfully  against  current  or  future  competitors,  our  business  will  be  materially
adversely affected. 

A change in our end use customers, our markets, or a change in the engineering procurement and construction companies serving 
our markets could harm our business and negatively impact our financial results.

Although we have long-term relationships with many of our end use customers and with many engineering, procurement and 
construction companies, the project management requirements, pricing levels and costs to support each customer and customer type
are often different.  Our customers have historically focused on the quality of the engineering and product solutions which we have 
provided to them.  As our markets continue to grow, and new market opportunities expand, we could see a shift in pricing as a result 
of  facing  competitors  with  lower  production  costs,  which  may  have  a  material  adverse  impact  on  our  results  of  operations  and 
financial results.  There has been more of a focus on relative importance of cost versus quality which looks at short-term costs instead 
of total long-term cost of operations.  Our customers are unable to predict the length of the time period for the economic viability of 
their plants.

A change in the structure of our markets; the relationships between engineering and procurement companies, original equipment 
suppliers,  others  in  the  supply  chain  and  any  of  their  relationships  with  the  end  users  could  harm  our  business  and  negatively
impact our financial results.

There are strong and long-standing relationships throughout the supply chain between the many parties involved in serving
the  end  user  of  our  products.    A  change  in  the  landscape  between  engineering  and  procurement  companies,  original  equipment 
suppliers,  others  in  the  supply  chain  and/or  with  the  end  users  could  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our  business  and  results  of 
operations.  These changes might occur through acquisitions or other business partnerships and could have a material impact on our 
business and negatively impact our financial results.

The loss of, or significant reduction or delay in, purchases by our largest customers could reduce our revenue and adversely affect 
our results of operations.

ff

A small number of customers has accounted for a substantial portion of our historical net sales. For example, sales to our top
ten customers, who can vary each year, accounted for 41%, 41% and 38% of consolidated net sales in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and
fiscal 2017, respectively. We expect that a limited number of customers will continue to represent a substantial portion of our sales for 

r

8

the foreseeable future. The loss of any of our major customers, a decrease or delay in orders or anticipated spending by such customers
or a delay in the production of existing orders could materially adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

We may experience customer concentration risk related to strategic growth for U.S. Navy projects.

We believe our strategy to increase the penetration of U.S. Navy related opportunities will lead to U.S. Navy related projects 
consistently  being  greater  than  10%  of  our  total  revenue.    While  these  projects  are  spread  across  multiple  contractors  for  the  U.S. 
Navy, the end customer for these projects is the same.  This concentration of business could add additional risk to us should there be a 
disruption, short or long term, in the funding for these projects or our participation in the U.S. Navy Nuclear Propulsion program.

A large percentage of our sales occur outside of the U.S. As a result, we are subject to the economic, political, regulatory and other 
risks of international operations.

For fiscal 2019, 35% of our revenue was from customers located outside of the U.S.  Moreover, through our subsidiaries, we 
maintain a sales office in China and a sales and market development office in India.  We believe that revenue from the sale of our 
products outside the U.S. will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue for the foreseeable future.  We intend 
to continue to expand our international operations to the extent that suitable opportunities become available.  Our foreign operations
and sales could be adversely affected as a result of:

• nationalization of private enterprises and assets;

• political or economic instability in certain countries and regions, such as the ongoing instability throughout the Middle East 

and/or portions of the former Soviet Union;

• political relationships between the U.S. and certain countries and regions;

• differences  in  foreign  laws,  including  difficulties  in  protecting  intellectual  property  and  uncertainty  in  enforcement  of 

contract rights;

• the possibility that foreign governments may adopt regulations or take other actions that could directly or indirectly harm 

our business and growth strategy;

• credit risks;

• currency fluctuations;

• tariff and tax increases;

• export and import restrictions and restrictive regulations of foreign governments; 

• shipping products during times of crisis or wars;

• our  failure  to  comply  with  U.S.  laws  regarding  doing  business  in  foreign  jurisdictions,  such  as  the  Foreign  Corrupt 

Practices Act; or

• other factors inherent in maintaining foreign operations.

The impact of potential changes in customs and trade policies and tariffs imposed by the U.S. and those imposed in response by 
other countries, including China, as well as rapidly changing trade relations, could materially and adversely affect our business
and results of operations.

The U.S. government has made proposals that are intended to address trade imbalances, which include encouraging increased 
production  in  the  United  States.  These  proposals  could  result  in  increased  customs  duties  and  the  renegotiation  of  some  U.S.  trade 
agreements.  Changes in U.S. and foreign governments’ trade policies have resulted and may continue to result in tariffs on imports
into, and exports from, the U.S.  Throughout 2018 and 2019, the U.S. imposed tariffs on imports from several countries, including 
China, Canada, the European Union and Mexico. In response, China, Canada and the European Union have proposed or implemented 
their  own  tariffs  on  certain  exports  from  the  U.S.  into  those  countries.  Tariffs  affecting  our  products  and  product  components,
including raw materials we use, particularly high-end steel and steel related products, may add significant costs to us and make our 

9

products  more  expensive.  As  a  result,  our  products  could  become  less  attractive  to  customers  outside  the  U.S.  due  to  U.S.  import 
tariffs  on  our  raw  materials  and  our  profit  margins  would  be  negatively  impacted.    Accordingly,  continued  tariffs  may  weaken
relationships with certain of our trading partners and may adversely affect our financial performance and results of operations.  When 
beneficial to us, we may consider alternate sourcing options, including off shore subcontracting, in order to minimize the impact of the 
tariffs.    Because  we  conduct  aspects  of  our  business  in  China  through  our  subsidiary,  potential  reductions  in  trade  with  China and 
diminished  relationships  between  China  and  the  U.S.,  as  well  as  the  continued  escalation  of  tariffs,  could  have  a  material  adverse 
effect on our business and results of operations.

aa

Global demand growth could be led by emerging markets, which could result in lower profit margins and increased competition.

The increase in global demand could be led by emerging markets.  If this is the case, we may face increased competition from
lower cost suppliers, which in turn could lead to lower profit margins on our products. Customers in emerging markets may also place 
less emphasis on our high quality and brand name than do customers in the U.S. and certain other industrialized countries where we 
compete. If we are forced to compete for business with customers that place less emphasis on quality and brand recognition than our 
current customers, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

n

Climate change and greenhouse gas regulations may affect our customers’ investment decisions.

Due  to  concern  over  the  risk  of  climate  change,  a  number  of  countries  have  adopted,  or  are  considering  the  adoption  of,
regulatory frameworks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.  These restrictions may affect our customers' abilities and willingness to
invest in new facilities or to re-invest in current operations.  These requirements could impact the cost of our customers’ products,
lengthen  project  implementation  times,  and  reduce  demand  for  hydrocarbons,  as  well  as  shift  hydrocarbon  demand  toward  lower-
carbon sources.  Any of the foregoing could adversely impact the demand for our products, which in turn could have an adverse effect 
on our business and results of operations.

The operations of our Chinese subsidiary may be adversely affected by China’s evolving economic, political and social conditions. 

We conduct our business in China primarily through our wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary.  The results of operations and 
future prospects of our Chinese subsidiary may be adversely affected by, among other things, changes in China's political, economic
and  social  conditions,  changes  in  the  relationship  between  China  and  its  western  trade  partners,  changes  in  policies  of  the  Chinese
government,  changes  in  laws  and  regulations  or  in  the  interpretation  of  existing  laws  and  regulations,  changes  in  foreign  exchange 
regulations, measures that may be introduced to control inflation, such as interest rate increases, and changes in the rates or methods of 
taxation.  In addition, changes in demand could result from increased competition from local Chinese manufacturers who have cost 
advantages or who may be preferred suppliers for Chinese end users.  Also, Chinese commercial laws, regulations and interpretations
applicable to non-Chinese owned market participants, such as us, are continually changing. These laws, regulations and interpretations
could  impose  restrictions  on  our  ownership  or  the  operation  of  our  interests  in  China  and  have  a  material  adverse  effect  on  our
business and results of operations.

r

Intellectual property rights are difficult to enforce in China and India, which could harm our business. 

Chinese commercial law is relatively undeveloped compared with the commercial law in many of our other major markets 
and limited protection of intellectual property is available in China as a practical matter.  Similarly, proprietary information may not 
be  afforded  the  same  protection  in  India  as  it  is  in  our  other  major  markets  with  more  comprehensive  intellectual  property  laws. 
Although we take precautions in the operations of our subsidiaries to protect our intellectual property, any local design or manufacture 
of products that we undertake could subject us to an increased risk that unauthorized parties will be able to copy or otherwise obtain or 
use  our  intellectual  property,  which  could  harm  our  business.    We  may  also  have  limited  legal  recourse  in  the  event  we  encounter 
patent or trademark infringers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  

Uncertainties with respect to the Chinese legal system may adversely affect the operations of our Chinese subsidiary.

Our Chinese subsidiary is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China.  There are uncertainties 
regarding  the  interpretation  and  enforcement  of  laws,  rules  and  policies  in  China.    The  Chinese  legal  system  is  based  on  written 
statutes,  and  prior  court  decisions  have  limited  precedential  value.    Because  many  laws  and  regulations  are  relatively  new  and the 
Chinese legal system is still evolving, the interpretations of many laws, regulations and rules are not always uniform.  Moreover, the 
relative  inexperience  of  China's  judiciary  in  many  cases  creates  additional  uncertainty  as  to  the  outcome  of  any  litigation,  and  the
interpretation  of  statutes  and  regulations  may  be  subject  to  government  policies  reflecting  domestic  political  agendas.    Finally, 
enforcement of existing laws or contracts based on existing law may be uncertain and sporadic.  For the preceding reasons, it may be
difficult for us to obtain timely or equitable enforcement of laws ostensibly designed to protect companies like ours, which could have
a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  

10

Regulation of foreign investment in India may adversely affect the operations of our Indian subsidiary.

Our subsidiary in India is subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in India.  India regulates ownership
of Indian companies by foreign entities.  These regulations may apply to our funding of our Indian operating subsidiary.  For example,
the  government  of  India  has  set  out  criteria  for  foreign  investments  in  India,  including  requirements  with  respect  to  downstream 
investments by Indian companies owned or controlled by foreign entities and the transfer of ownership or control of Indian companies
in certain industries.  These requirements may adversely affect our ability to operate our Indian subsidiary. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to obtain any required approvals for future acquisitions, investments or operations in India, or that we will be able
to obtain such approvals on satisfactory terms. 

Changes in U.S. and foreign energy policy regulations could adversely affect our business. 

Energy policy in the U.S. and in the other countries where we sell our products is evolving rapidly and we anticipate that 
energy policy will continue to be an important legislative priority in the jurisdictions where we sell our products. It is difficult, if not 
impossible,  to  predict  the  changes  in  energy  policy  that  could  occur,  as  they  may  be  related  to  changes  in  political  administration, 
public policy or other factors. The elimination of, or a change in, any of the current rules and regulations in any of our markets could 
create a regulatory environment that makes our end users less likely to purchase our products, which could have a material adverse 
effect on our business.  Government subsidies or taxes, which favor or disfavor certain energy sources compared with others, could 
have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

ff

Efforts to reduce large U.S. federal budget deficits could result in government cutbacks or shifts in focus in defense spending or in
reduced  incentives  to  pursue  alternative  energy  projects,  resulting  in  reduced  demand  for  our  products,  which  could  harm  our 
business and results of operations.

g

Our  business  strategy  calls  for  us  to  continue  to  pursue  defense-related  projects  as  well  as  projects  for  end  users  in  the
alternative energy markets in the U.S.  In recent years, the U.S. federal government has incurred large budget deficits. In the event that 
U.S. federal government defense spending is reduced or alternative energy related incentives are reduced or eliminated in an effort to 
reduce  federal  budget  deficits,  projects  related  to  defense  or  alternative  energy  may  become  less  plentiful.  The  impact  of  such
reductions could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations, as well as our growth opportunities.

ff

U.S. Navy orders are subject to annual government funding.  A disruption in funding could adversely impact our business.

One of our growth strategies is to increase our penetration of U.S. Navy-related opportunities.  Projects for the U.S. Navy and
its  contractors  generally  have  a  much  longer  order-to-shipment  time  period  than  our  commercial  orders.    The  time  between  the
awarding  of  an  order  to  complete  shipment  can  take  three  to  seven  years.    Annual  government  funding  is  required  to  continue  the
production of this equipment.  Disruption of government funding, short or long term, could impact the ability for us to continue our 
production  activity  on  these  orders.    Since  this  business  is  expected  to  increase  as  a  percentage  of  our  overall  business,  such  a 
disruption, should it occur, could adversely impact the sales and profitability of our business.

Changes in the competitive environment for U.S. Navy procurement could adversely impact our ability to grow this portion of our
business.

Over the past few years, we have expanded our business and the opportunities where we bid related to U.S. Navy projects.  
This has increased our market share and caused an adverse share position for some of our competitors for these products.  Competitor 
response to our market penetration is possible.  Our customers may also raise concerns about their supplier concentration issues and 
the risk exposure related to this concentration.  As the U.S. Navy is looking to expand its fleet, there is also a risk that their facilities, 
their supply chain or our supply chain for raw materials, may not be able to support this expansion.  This could adversely impact our 
ability to grow this portion of our business.  

Contract liabilities for large U.S. Navy contracts may be beyond our normal insurance coverage and a claim could have an adverse 
impact on our financial results.

We  are  diligent  at  managing  ongoing  risks  related  to  projects  and  the  requirements  of  our  customers.    Our  history  at 
managing risk provides significant evidence that our exposure and risk is minimal.  In addition, we secure business insurance coverage 
to minimize the impact of a major failure or liability related to our customers.  Due to certain U.S. government procurement policies,
we may take on the risk of a liability for large U.S. Navy projects in excess of our insurance coverage and at a level which is higher 
than our commercial projects.  A claim related to one of these projects could have an adverse impact on our financial results.

11

New  technology  used  by  the  ships  for  the  U.S.  Navy  may  delay  projects  and  may  impact  our  ability  to  grow  this  portion  of  our 
business.

Certain U.S. Navy vessels are implementing new technologies, unrelated to any of the equipment that we provide.  If there is 
a complication or delay to any ship caused by this new technology, it may delay the procurement and fabrication of future vessels,
which could have a negative impact on our business.

Any future lapse in U.S. government appropriations may disrupt U.S. export processing and related procedures and, as a result,
may materially and adversely affect our revenue, results of operations and business.

The impact of the lapse in U.S. federal appropriations which commenced on December 22, 2018 had a short-term effect on
our business.  Any such future lapse (each, a "Government Shutdown") could negatively affect our ability to ship finished products to
customers.  We  rely  on  federal  government  personnel,  who  are  not  able  to  perform  their  duties  during  a  Government  Shutdown,  to
conduct routine business processes related to the inspection and delivery of our products, process export licenses for us and perform 
other services for us that, when disrupted, may prevent us from timely shipping products outside the U.S. If we are unable to timely
ship our products outside the U.S., there could be a material adverse impact on our results of operations and business. Moreover, our 
inability  to  ship  products,  or  the  perception  by  customers  that  we  might  not  be  able  to  timely  ship  our  products  in  the  future, may 
cause  such  customers  to  look  to  foreign  competitors  to  fulfill  their  demand.  If  our  customers  look  to  foreign  competitors  to  source 
equipment of the type we manufacture, there could be a material adverse impact on our results of operations and business.

Near-term income statement impact from competitive contracts could adversely affect our operating results.

During  weaker  market  periods,  we  may  choose  to  be  more  aggressive  in  pricing  certain  competitive  projects  to  protect  or 
gain market share or to increase the utilization of our facilities.  In these situations, it is possible that an incrementally profitable order, 
while  increasing  contribution,  may  be  unprofitable  from  an  accounting  perspective  when  including  fixed  manufacturing  costs.    In
these situations, we are required to recognize the financial loss at the time of order acceptance, or as soon as our cost estimates are 
updated, whichever occurs first.  It is possible we may accumulate losses either on a large project or more than one project such that, 
in a short time period, for example, a reporting quarter, these losses may have a meaningful impact on the earnings of the period.

Our operating results could be adversely affected by customer contract cancellations and delays.

The value of our backlog as of March 31, 2019 was $132,127.  Our backlog can be significantly affected by the timing of 
large orders.  The amount of our backlog at March 31, 2019 is not necessarily indicative of future backlog levels or the rate at which
our backlog will be recognized as sales. Although historically the amount of modifications and terminations of our orders has not been 
material compared with our total contract volume, customers can, and sometimes do, terminate or modify their orders.  This generally 
occurs more often in times of end market or capital market turmoil.  As evidence of this, we had orders totaling $24,361 cancelled 
during the downturn between fiscal 2015 through fiscal 2017, but have had no cancellations in fiscal years 2018 and 2019.  We cannot 
predict  whether  cancellations  will  occur  or  accelerate  in  the  future.  Although  certain  of  our  contracts  in  backlog  may  contain
provisions allowing for us to assess cancellation charges to our customers to compensate us for costs incurred on cancelled contracts, 
cancellations  of  purchase  orders  or  modifications  made  to  existing  contracts  could  substantially  and  materially  reduce  our  backlog 
and,  consequently,  our  future  sales  and  results  of  operations.  Moreover,  delay  of  contract  execution  by  our  customers  can  result  in 
volatility in our operating results.

Our current backlog contains a number of large orders from the U.S. Navy.  In addition, we are continuing to pursue business
in this end market which offers large multi-year projects which have an added risk profile beyond that of our historic customer base. 
A delay, long-term extension or cancellation of any of these projects could have a material adverse effect on our business and results
of operations.

r

An  extended  downturn  could  adversely  impact  the  financial  stability  of  our  customers  and  increase  the  risk  of  uncollectable 
accounts receivables.

Our customers participate in cyclical markets, such as petroleum refining, petrochemical and alternate energy.  The financial
strength of our customers can be impacted by a severe or lengthy downturn in these markets.  This could lead to additional risk in our 
ability to collect outstanding accounts receivables.  We attempt to mitigate this risk with the utilization of progress payments for many 
projects, but certain industries, end markets and geographies are not as willing to make progress payments.  Certain projects require a 
small  portion  of  the  total  payments  to  be  held  until  the  customer's  facility  is  fully  operational,  which  can  be  in  excess  of  one  year 
beyond our delivery of equipment to them.  This additional time may add risk to our ability to collect on the outstanding accounts
receivables.

k

12

Our  exposure  to  fixed-price  contracts  and  the  timely  completion  of  such  contracts  could  negatively  impact  our  results  of 
operations.

A  substantial  portion  of  our  sales  is  derived  from  fixed-price  contracts,  which  may  involve  long-term  fixed  price
commitments  by  us  to  our  customers.  While  we  believe  our  contract  management  processes  are  strong,  we  nevertheless  could 
experience difficulties in executing large contracts, including but not limited to, estimating errors, cost overruns, supplier failures and 
customer  disputes.  To  the  extent  that  any  of  our  fixed-price  contracts  are  delayed,  our  subcontractors  fail  to  perform,  contract 
counterparties successfully assert claims against us, the original cost estimates in these or other contracts prove to be inaccurate or the 
contracts do not permit us to pass increased costs on to our customers, our profitability may decrease or losses may be incurred which, 
in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  For our U.S. Navy projects, these fixed priced 
contracts  have  order  to  shipment  periods  which  can  exceed  five  years.    This  additional  time-based  risk,  which  we  believe  is 
manageable, nevertheless increases the likelihood of cost fluctuation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and 
results of operation.

Given our size and specialization of our business, if we lose any member of our management team and we experience difficulty in
finding a qualified replacement, our business could be harmed.

Competition  for  qualified  management  and  key  technical  and  sales  personnel  in  our  industry  is  intense.    Moreover,  our 
technology is highly specialized, and it may be difficult to replace the loss of any of our key technical and sales personnel. Many of 
the  companies  with  which  we  compete  for  management  and  key  technical  and  sales  personnel  have  greater  financial  and  other 
resources than we do or are located in geographic areas which may be considered by some to be more desirable places to live.  If we 
are not able to retain any of our key management, technical or sales personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on our business
and results of operations.  

During certain high demand periods, there can be a shortage of skilled production workers, especially those with high-end welding 
capabilities.  We could experience difficulty hiring or replacing those individuals, which could adversely affect our business.

ii

Our  fabrication  processes  require  highly  skilled  production  workers,  especially  welders.    Welding  has  not  been  an 
educational field that has been popular over the past few decades as manufacturing has moved overseas.  While we have an in-house
weld training program, if we are unable to retain, hire or train an adequate number of individuals with high-end welding capability,
this  could  adversely  impact  our  ability  to  achieve  our  financial  objectives.    In  addition,  if  demand  for  highly  skilled  production
workers were to significantly outstrip supply, wages for these skilled workers could dramatically increase in our and related industries 
and that could affect our financial performance.  Furthermore, should we not be able to expand our production workforce, we would 
expect to increase the amount of outsourced fabrication which is likely to result in higher costs and lower margins.  

Our acquisition strategy may not be successful or may increase business risk.

The  success  of  our  acquisition  strategy  will  depend,  in  part,  on  our  ability  to  identify  suitable  companies  or  businesses  to
purchase and then successfully negotiate and close acquisition transactions.  In addition, our success depends in part on our ability to 
integrate acquisitions and realize the anticipated benefits from combining the acquisition with our historical business, operations and 
management.  We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to complete any acquisitions and then successfully integrate the 
business  and  operations  of  those  acquisitions  without  encountering  difficulties,  including  unanticipated  costs,  issues  or  liabilities,
difficulty in retaining customers and supplier or other relationships, failure to retain key employees, diversion of our management’s 
attention,  failure  to  integrate  information  and  accounting  systems  or  establish  and  maintain  proper  internal  control  over  financial 
reporting.    Moreover,  as  part  of  the  integration  process,  we  must  incorporate  an  acquisition’s  existing  business  culture  and 
compensation  structure  with  our  existing  business.    We  also  need  to  utilize  key  personnel  who  may  be  distracted  from  the  core
business.    If  we  are  not  able  to  efficiently  integrate  an  acquisition’s  business  and  operations  into  our  organization  in  a  timely  and 
efficient manner, or at all, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized, or it may take longer to realize these benefits
than we currently expect, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

a

If  we  become  subject  to  product  liability,  warranty  or  other  claims,  our  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition  could  be
adversely affected.

The manufacture and sale of our products exposes us to potential product liability claims, including those that may arise from 
failure to meet product specifications, misuse or malfunction of our products, design flaws in our products, or use of our products with
systems not manufactured or sold by us.  For example, our equipment is installed in facilities that operate dangerous processes and the
misapplication, improper installation or failure of our equipment may result in exposure to potentially hazardous substances, personal 
injury or property damage.

d

13

Provisions contained in our contracts with customers that attempt to limit our damages may not be enforceable or may fail to 
protect us from liability for damages and we may not negotiate such contractual limitations of liability in certain circumstances.  Our 
insurance may not cover all liabilities and our historical experience may not reflect liabilities we may face in the future.  Our risk of 
liability  may  increase  as  we  manufacture  more  complex  or  larger  projects.    We  also  may  not  be  able  to  continue  to  maintain  such
insurance at a reasonable cost or on reasonable terms, or at all.  Any material liability not covered by provisions in our contracts or by 
insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

Furthermore, if a customer suffers damage as a result of an event related to one of our products, even if we are not at fault,
they may reduce their business with us. We  may  also  incur significant warranty claims which are not covered  by insurance. In the
event  a  customer  ceases  doing  business  with  us  as  a  result  of  a  product  malfunction  or  defect,  perceived  or  actual,  or  if  we  incur 
significant warranty costs in the future, there could be a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  

If third parties infringe upon our intellectual property or if we were to infringe upon the intellectual property of third parties, we
may expend significant resources enforcing or defending our rights or suffer competitive injury.

tt

Our success depends in part on our proprietary technology.  We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade
secret  laws  and  confidentiality  provisions  to  establish  and  protect  our  proprietary  rights.    If  we  fail  to  successfully  enforce  our 
intellectual property rights, our competitive position could suffer.  We may also be required to spend significant resources to monitor 
and  police  our  intellectual  property  rights.    Similarly,  if  we  were  found  to  have  infringed  upon  the  intellectual  property  rights  of 
others, our competitive position could suffer.  Furthermore, other companies may develop technologies that are similar or superior to 
our technologies, duplicate or reverse engineer our technologies or design around our proprietary technologies. Any of the foregoing
could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

In  some  instances,  litigation  may  be  necessary  to  enforce  our  intellectual  property  rights  and  protect  our  proprietary 
information,  or  to  defend  against  claims  by  third  parties  that  our  products  infringe  upon  their  intellectual  property  rights.  Any
litigation  or  claims  brought  by  or  against  us,  whether  with  or  without  merit,  could  result  in  substantial  costs  to  us  and  divert  the 
attention  of  our  management,  which  could  materially  harm  our  business  and  results  of  operations.    In  addition,  any  intellectual
property  litigation  or  claims  against  us  could  result  in  the  loss  or  compromise  of  our  intellectual  property  and  proprietary  rights,
subject us to significant liabilities, require us to seek licenses on unfavorable terms, prevent us from manufacturing or selling certain 
products or require us to redesign certain products, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of 
operations.  

rr

We are subject to foreign currency fluctuations which may adversely affect our operating results.

We are exposed to the risk of currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries in which we
sell our products to the extent that such sales are not based on U.S. dollars.  Currency movements can affect sales in several ways, the
foremost  being  our  ability  to  compete  for  orders  against  foreign  competitors  that  base  their  prices  on  relatively  weaker  currencies. 
Strength of the U.S. dollar compared with the Euro or Asian currencies may put us in a less competitive position.  Business lost due to
competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified.  In addition, cash can be adversely 
impacted by the conversion of sales made by us in a foreign currency to U.S. dollars.  While we may enter into currency exchange rate 
hedges  from  time  to  time  to  mitigate  these  types  of  fluctuations,  we  cannot  remove  all  fluctuations  or  hedge  all  exposures  and our 
earnings are impacted by changes in currency exchange rates.  In addition, if the counter-parties to such exchange contracts do not 
fulfill their obligations to deliver the contractual foreign currencies, we could be at risk for fluctuations, if any, required to settle the
obligation.    Any  of  the  foregoing  could  adversely  affect  our  business  and  results  of  operations.    At  March  31,  2019,  we  held  no
forward foreign currency exchange contracts.

d

Security threats and other sophisticated computer intrusions could harm our information systems, which in turn could harm our 
business and financial results.

We  utilize  information  systems  and  computer  technology  throughout  our  business.    We  store  sensitive  data,  proprietary 
information  and  perform  engineering  designs  and  calculations  on  these  systems.    Threats  to  these  systems,  and  the  laws  and 
regulations governing security of data, including personal data, on information systems and otherwise held by companies is evolving
and adding layers of complexity in the form of new requirements and increasing costs of attempting to protect information systems
and data and complying with new cybersecurity regulations. Information systems are subject to numerous and evolving cybersecurity 
threats  and  sophisticated  computer  crimes,  which  pose  a  risk  to  the  stability  and  security  of  our  information  systems,  computer
technology, and business.  Global cybersecurity threats can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access
to our information systems and computer technology to sophisticated and targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats. The 
techniques used in these attacks change frequently and may be difficult to detect for periods of time and we may face difficulties in
anticipating and implementing adequate preventative measures. A failure or breach in security could expose our company as well as
our customers and suppliers to risks of misuse of information, compromising confidential information and technology, destruction of 
data, production disruptions and other business risks which could damage our reputation, competitive position and financial results of 

14

our  operations.    In  addition,  defending  ourselves  against  these  threats  may  increase  costs  or  slow  operational  efficiencies  of  our 
business.  If any of the foregoing were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

We face potential liability from asbestos exposure and similar claims that could result in substantial costs to us as well as divert 
attention of our management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

dd

We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits alleging illnesses from exposure to asbestos or asbestos-containing products and 
seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages. We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of these lawsuits or whether 
we could become subject to any similar, related or additional lawsuits in the future.  In addition, because some of our products are 
used in systems that handle toxic or hazardous substances, any failure or alleged failure of our products in the future could result in
litigation against us.  For example, a claim could be made under various regulations for the adverse consequences of environmental
contamination. Any litigation brought against us, whether with or without merit, could result in substantial costs to us as well as divert 
the attention of our management, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Many  of  our  large  international  customers  are  nationalized  or  state-owned  businesses.    Any  failure  to  comply  with  the  United 
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could adversely impact our competitive position and subject us to penalties and other adverse
consequences, which could harm our business and results of operations.

We are subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which generally prohibits U.S. companies from engaging 
in bribery or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business.  Many foreign 
companies, including some of our competitors, are not subject to these prohibitions.  Corruption, extortion, bribery, pay-offs, theft and 
other fraudulent practices occur from time-to-time in certain of the jurisdictions in which we may operate or sell our products.  While 
we strictly prohibit our employees and agents from engaging in such conduct and have established procedures, controls and training to 
prevent such conduct from occurring, it is possible that our employees or agents will engage in such conduct and that we might be 
held  responsible.  If  our  employees  or  other  agents  are  alleged  or  are  found  to  have  engaged  in  such  practices,  we  could  incur 
significant costs and suffer severe penalties or other consequences that may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.

ff

Provisions  contained  in  our  certificate  of  incorporation  and  bylaws  could  impair  or  delay  stockholders'  ability  to  change  our 
management and could discourage takeover transactions that some stockholders might consider to be in their best interests.

Provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could impede attempts by our stockholders to remove or replace our 
management and could discourage others from initiating a potential merger, takeover or other change of control transaction, including 
a potential transaction at a premium over the market price of our common stock, that our stockholders might consider to be in their 
best interests.  Such provisions include:

• We  could  issue  shares  of  preferred  stock  with  terms  adverse  to  our  common  stock.    Under  our  certificate  of 
incorporation,  our  Board  of  Directors  is  authorized  to  issue  shares  of  preferred  stock  and  to  determine  the  rights, 
preferences and privileges of such shares without obtaining any further approval from the holders of our common stock. 
We could issue shares of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights that adversely affect the voting power of the
holders of our common stock, or that have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company.

•

•

•

Only a minority of our directors may be elected in a given year.  Our bylaws provide for a classified Board of Directors,
with only approximately one-third of our Board elected each year.  This provision makes it more difficult to effect a
change of control because at least two annual stockholder meetings are necessary to replace a majority of our directors.

Our bylaws contain advance notice requirements.  Our bylaws also provide that any stockholder who wishes to bring
business before an annual meeting of our stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual 
meeting  of  our  stockholders  must  deliver  advance  notice  of  their  proposals  to  us  before  the  meeting.    Such  advance 
notice  provisions  may  have  the  effect  of  making  it  more  difficult  to  introduce  business  at  stockholder  meetings  or 
nominate candidates for election as director.  

Our certificate of incorporation requires supermajority voting to approve a change of control transaction.  Seventy-five
percent  of  our  outstanding  shares  entitled  to  vote  are  required  to  approve  any  merger,  consolidation,  sale  of  all  or 
substantially  all  of  our  assets  and  similar  transactions  if  the  other  party  to  such  transaction  owns  5%  or  more  of  our 
shares  entitled  to  vote.    In  addition,  a  majority  of  the  shares  entitled  to  vote  not  owned  by  such  5%  or  greater 
stockholder are also required to approve any such transaction.  

15

•

•

Amendments to our certificate of incorporation require supermajority voting.  Our certificate of incorporation contains 
provisions that make its amendment require the affirmative vote of both 75% of our outstanding shares entitled to vote 
and a majority of the shares entitled to vote not owned by any person who may hold 50% or more of our shares unless 
the proposed amendment was previously recommended to our stockholders by an affirmative vote of 75% of our Board. 
This provision makes it more difficult to implement a change to our certificate of incorporation that stockholders might 
otherwise consider to be in their best interests without approval of our Board.  

Amendments to our bylaws require supermajority voting.  Although our Board of Directors is permitted to amend our 
bylaws  at  any  time,  our  stockholders  may  only  amend  our  bylaws  upon  the  affirmative  vote  of  both  75%  of  our 
outstanding shares entitled to vote and a majority of the shares entitled to vote not owned by any person who owns 50% 
or  more  of  our  shares.    This  provision  makes  it  more  difficult  for  our  stockholders  to  implement  a  change  they  may
consider to be in their best interests without approval of our Board.

Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our  common  stock  is  traded  on  the  NYSE  exchange  under  the  symbol  "GHM".    As  of  May  23,  2019,  there  were  9,842,803

shares of our common stock outstanding that were held by approximately 138 stockholders of record.

Subject  to  the  rights  of  any  preferred  stock  we  may  then  have  outstanding,  the  holders  of  our  common  stock  are  entitled  to
receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the payment of 
dividends.  Our Board of Directors declared dividends per share of $0.09 for the first quarter of fiscal 2019 and $0.10 in each of the 
second,  third  and  fourth  quarters  of  fiscal  2019.    While  we  anticipate  that  we  will  continue  to  pay  quarterly  cash  dividends  in the 
future, there can be no assurance that we will pay such dividends in any future period or that the level of cash dividends paid by us
will remain constant.

Our  senior  credit  facility  contains  provisions  pertaining  to  the  maintenance  of  a  maximum  funded  debt  to  earnings  before 
interest  expense,  income  taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization,  or  EBITDA,  ratio  and  a  minimum  level  of  earnings  before  interest
expense and income taxes to interest ratio as well as restrictions on the payment of dividends to stockholders.  The facility limits the
payment of dividends to stockholders to 25% of net income if our funded debt to EBITDA ratio is greater than 2.0 to 1.  As of March 
31, 2019 and May 31, 2019 we did not have any funded debt outstanding.  More information regarding our senior credit facility can be

       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview 

We  are  a  global  business  that  designs,  manufactures  and  sells  critical  equipment  for  the  energy,  defense  and 
chemical/petrochemical  industries.    Our  energy  markets  include  oil  refining,  cogeneration,  and  alternative  power.    For  the  defense
industry,  our  equipment  is  used  in  nuclear  propulsion  power  systems  for  the  U.S.  Navy.    For  the  chemical  and  petrochemical 
industries, our equipment is used in fertilizer, ethylene, methanol and downstream chemical facilities. 

Graham's  global  brand  is  built  upon  our  world-renowned  engineering  expertise  in  vacuum  and  heat  transfer  technology,
responsive and flexible service and high quality standards.  We design and manufacture custom-engineered ejectors, vacuum pumping 
systems,  surface  condensers  and  vacuum  systems.    Our  equipment  can  also  be  found  in  other  diverse  applications  such  as  metal 
refining,  pulp  and  paper  processing,  water  heating,  refrigeration,  desalination,  food  processing,  pharmaceutical,  and  heating,
ventilating and air conditioning.

Our  corporate  headquarters  are  located  in  Batavia,  New  York.    We  have  production  facilities  co-located  with  our 
headquarters in Batavia.  We also have a wholly-owned foreign subsidiary, Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer Technology (Suzhou) 
Co., Ltd. ("GVHTT"), located in Suzhou, China.  GVHTT provides sales and engineering support for us in the People's Republic of
China and management oversight throughout Southeast Asia.  In the third quarter of fiscal 2019, we established Graham India Private 
Limited ("GIPL") as a wholly-owned subsidiary.  GIPL, located in Ahmedabad, India, serves as a sales and market development office 
focusing on the refining, petrochemical and fertilizer markets.

Business for Sale

Due  to  the  changes  in  the  commercial  nuclear  utility  industry  over  the  last  several  years  and  the  subsequent  decline  in
performance  of  our  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Energy  Steel  &  Supply  Co.  ("Energy  Steel"),  located  in  Lapeer,  Michigan,  we  have
decided the business is better suited for another partner and have elected to divest of it.  We are in discussions to sell the business. 
Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we received an offer for the purchase of Energy Steel.  During fiscal 2019, Energy Steel had $8,336 in 
net sales.  

This management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal year ended March 
31, 2019 omits a comparative discussion regarding the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017.  Such information is located in Item 7 – 
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended March 31, 2018.  

Key Results

Key results for our fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, which we refer to as "fiscal 2019" include:

• Net sales for fiscal 2019 were $91,831, up 18% compared with $77,534 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, which 

we refer to as "fiscal 2018."

• Net (loss) and (loss) per diluted share for fiscal 2019, were ($308) and ($0.03), respectively, compared with net (loss)
and (loss) per diluted share of ($9,844) and ($1.01), respectively, for fiscal 2018.  Adjusted net income and income per 
diluted share, non-GAAP measures, for fiscal 2019 were $5,012 and $0.51, respectively, and $1,801 and $0.18 for fiscal 
2018, respectively.  See the table under Results of Operations for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure.

• Operating cash flow for fiscal 2019 was $7,917, down from $8,511 in fiscal 2018.

• Net orders received in fiscal 2019 were $101,241, down 10% compared with fiscal 2018, when net orders received were 

$112,230.

•

Backlog on March 31, 2019 was $132,127, up 12% from backlog of $117,946 on March 31, 2018.  Excluding backlog 
associated with assets and liabilities held for sale, backlog on March 31, 2019 was $124,088.

• Gross  profit  and  operating  margins  for  fiscal  2019  were  23.9%  and  (2.6%),  respectively,  compared  with  21.9%  and 
(18.0%), respectively, for fiscal 2018.  Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure, was 4.4% and 1.9% for fiscal
2019  and  fiscal  2018,  respectively.    See  the  table  under  Results  of  Operations  for  a  reconciliation  of  this  non-GAAP 
measure.

In fiscal 2019, $3,834 was returned to shareholders as dividends compared with $3,517 in fiscal 2018.

Cash  and  cash  equivalents  and  short-term  investments  at  March  31,  2019  were  $77,753  compared  with  $76,479  as  of 
March 31, 2018, an increase of $1,274.

• At March 31, 2019, we had a solid balance sheet that was free of bank debt and which we believe provides us with the

financial flexibility to pursue our business and acquisition strategies.

• We intend to sell Energy Steel, our commercial nuclear utility business.  Energy Steel is a wholly-owned subsidiary and 
represented $8,336 in revenue in fiscal 2019 and $8,039 in backlog on March 31, 2019.  This business and its assets and 
liabilities were classified as held for sale on March 31, 2019.

Current Market Conditions

Our  global  energy  and  petrochemical  markets,  which  had  been  in  a  significant  downturn  for  several  years,  began  to  show
signs  of  stabilization  and  improvement  during  the  second  half  of  fiscal  2018  and  which  continued  through  fiscal  2019.    Such 
stabilization  in  crude  oil  prices  and  improvement  in  general  global  economic  conditions  have  led  to  increased  activity  by  our 
customers in the downstream energy sector.  Customers have begun to invest in upgrading and turnaround maintenance for existing
facilities and, in certain geographies, are beginning to look at new capacity.  While this additional activity is encouraging, we cannot 
predict the pace at which a recovery will progress or if it will continue.  

Our  long-term  view  for  the  global  energy  and  petrochemical  markets  is  that  general  economic  fundamentals  will  drive
increasing demand and result in continued capital investment to satisfy increasing global energy demand. These fundamentals include 
rising populations, strong emerging market economic growth, and overall global economic expansion.

Our naval nuclear propulsion market has demand tied to aircraft carrier and submarine vessel construction schedules of the 
primary shipyards who service the U.S. Navy.  We expect growth in our naval nuclear propulsion business to result from our strategic 
actions to increase our market share, our successful performance, and expected increases in demand.

We  believe  the  long-term  outlook  in  our  key  markets  supports  our  growth  plans.  In  the  near  term,  new  order  levels  are
expected to remain variable, resulting in both relatively strong and weak periods.  We believe, however, order activity will continue to 
improve.

The  chart  below  shows  the  impact  of  our  diversification  strategy.    Over  half  of  our  current  backlog  is  from  markets  not 
served by us in the fiscal 2007-2009 time frame.  Included in the graph below is $8,039 for Energy Steel, a business which is currently 
held for sale.

We  believe  that,  when  used  in  conjunction  with  measures  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP,  adjusted  operating  profit, 
adjusted  operating  margin  and  adjusted  net  income,  which  are  non-GAAP  measures,  help  in  the  understanding  of  our  operating

Fiscal 2019 Compared with Fiscal 2018

Sales for fiscal 2019 were $91,831, up 18% as compared with sales of $77,534 for fiscal 2018.  Domestic sales were $59,441 
or 65% of total sales, up from $51,950 or 67% of total sales in fiscal 2018.  Domestic sales increased $7,491, or 14%, compared with 
fiscal year 2018.  International sales accounted for $32,390, or 35% of total sales, for fiscal 2019, up from $25,584, or 33% of total 
sales in fiscal 2018.  International sales increased $6,806 or 27%, compared with fiscal 2018.  By market, sales for fiscal 2019 were 
50%  to  the  refining  industry  (up  from  28%  in  fiscal  2018),  18%  to  the  chemical  and  petrochemical  industries  (down  from  27%  in 
fiscal 2018), 11% to the power markets (down from 14% in fiscal 2018), and 21% to defense and other industrial applications (down
from 31% in fiscal 2018).  

d

Our  gross  margin  for  fiscal  2019  was  23.9%  compared  with  21.9%  for  fiscal  2018.    The  increase  in  gross  margin  was
primarily due to an improved pricing environment and increased utilization of capacity.  Gross profit for fiscal 2019 increased $4,934,
or 29% compared with fiscal 2018 due to higher volume and higher gross margin as noted above, compared with fiscal 2018.

d

SG&A  expense  for  fiscal  2019  was  $17,878,  up  13%  or  $2,109,  compared  with  $15,769  in  fiscal  2018.    SG&A  as  a 

percentage of sales in fiscal 2019 was 19.5% of sales compared with 20.3% of sales in fiscal 2018.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we decided to sell our commercial nuclear utility business that we operate under our 
wholly-owned subsidiary Energy Steel.  We reviewed the market value of the business at such time and determined the assets to be
impaired  based  on  such  market  value.    We  also  estimated  the  fair  value  of  the  commercial  nuclear  utility  business  related  to  the
carrying value of Energy Steel.  The impairment review indicated that the fair value of the intangible assets, goodwill and other long-
lived assets of the business were negligible, due to erosion of the Energy Steel business and commercial nuclear utility industry.  As a
result,  we  recorded  impairment  losses  of  $1,700,  $2,000,  $1,208,  $1,222,  and  $319  for  permits,  tradename,  customer  relationships,
goodwill, and other long-lived assets, respectively.  The total impairment charge was $6,449 before taxes and $5,320 after taxes.  The 
remaining value of the business is net working capital.

During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2018,  we  performed  our  annual  goodwill  and  intangible  asset  impairment  review.    We
estimated  the  fair  value  of  intangible  assets  and  goodwill  of  our  commercial  nuclear  utility  business  related  to  the  December 2010 
acquisition  of  Energy  Steel.    The  impairment  review  indicated  that  the  fair  value  of  the  permits,  tradename  and  goodwill  of  the
business were substantially lower than the carrying value due to reduced investment from the U.S. commercial nuclear utility market, 
the  strength  of  the  Energy  Steel  brand  relative  to  larger  more  vertically  integrated  suppliers,  and  the  bankruptcy  of  Westinghouse
Electric Company which resulted in the stoppage of work at the Summer, South Carolina nuclear facility.  As a result, we recorded 
impairment losses of $8,600, $500, and $5,716 for permits, tradename, and goodwill, respectively.  The total impairment charge was
$14,816 before taxes and $12,014 after taxes.  Additionally, we incurred a $46 revenue reversal, and a $234 bad debt charge, related to 
the  bankruptcy  of  Westinghouse  Electric  Company  and  the  stoppage  of  work  at  the  Summer,  South  Carolina  nuclear  facility.    The 
total before and after tax cost of these two charges was $280 and $193, respectively.  Additionally, we recognized a benefit of $786 
related to the revaluation of deferred tax liabilities, which were impacted by the reduction in federal income tax rates from the Tax 
Act.  The deferred tax benefit of $786 included $839 of expense for adjusting the rates on the deferred tax liability of the Energy Steel 
acquisition offset by a benefit of $1,625 for other tax items.

f

t

In  fiscal  2018,  we  incurred  a  pre-tax  restructuring  charge  of  $316  ($224  after  tax)  for  severance  costs  related  to  certain 

headcount reductions.  There were no such charges in fiscal 2019.

Interest income for fiscal 2019 was $1,462, up from $606 in fiscal 2018, primarily as a result of higher interest rates.  Interest 

expense for fiscal 2019 was $12, the same amount as in fiscal 2018.

23

 
   
Our  effective  tax  rate  was  not  meaningful  in  fiscal  2019,  as  we  had  a  tax  expense  despite  a  pre-tax  loss,  due  to  non-
deductibility  of  the  goodwill  portion  of  the  write  down  for  our  commercial  nuclear  utility  business.    Excluding  the  impact  of  the
impairment  losses  we  incurred  from  our  commercial  nuclear  utility  business,  our  effective  tax  rate  in  fiscal  2019  was  20%.    This
compares  to  an  effective  tax  rate  in  fiscal  2018  of  23%.    Excluding  the  impact  of  the  impairment  losses  we  incurred  from  our 
commercial nuclear utility business and the impact of the Tax Act, our effective tax rate in fiscal 2018 was 31%.

Net (loss) and (loss) per diluted share for fiscal 2019, were ($308) and ($0.03), respectively, compared with net (loss) and 
(loss) per diluted share of ($9,844) and ($1.01), respectively, for fiscal 2018.  Excluding the impairment and other charges related to 
our  commercial  nuclear  utility  business  in  each  of  fiscal  2019  and  fiscal  2018,  as  well  as  the  impact  of  the  Tax  Act  change  and
restructuring charges in fiscal 2018, net income and income per diluted share for fiscal 2019 were $5,012 and $0.51, respectively, and  
for fiscal 2018 were $1,801 and $0.18, respectively.

Stockholders' Equity

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity
that can be found in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The following table shows the balance of stockholders'

Stockholders'  equity  decreased  $4,383  or  4%,  at  March  31,  2019  compared  with  March  31,  2018.    The  decrease  was 

primarily due to the impairment and other charges related to our commercial nuclear utility business offset partially by earnings.

We use the above ratios to assess our liquidity and overall financial strength.

Net  cash  generated  by  operating  activities  for  fiscal  2019  was  $7,917,  compared  with  $8,511  for  fiscal  2018.    The  $594
decrease in cash generated was due to cash usage from unbilled revenue and accounts payable, which were both cash usages in fiscal 
2019 but were cash generators in fiscal 2018, mostly offset by changes in earnings adjusted for the commercial nuclear utility 
business
adjustments, customer deposits and accounts receivable.

aa

Capital spending in fiscal 2019 was $2,138, compared with $2,051 in fiscal 2018.  Capital expenditures in each of fiscal 2019
and fiscal 2018 were approximately 80% for facilities along with machinery and equipment and the remaining 20% for all other items.

Dividend payments were $3,834 in fiscal 2019, compared with $3,517 in fiscal 2018.

Cash and investments were $77,753 at March 31, 2019, compared with $76,479 at March 31, 2018, up $1,274 or 2%.

We invest net cash generated from operations in excess of cash held for near-term needs in short-term, less than 365 days, 
certificates  of  deposit,  money  market  accounts  or  U.S.  government  instruments,  generally  with  maturity  periods  of  up  to  180  days. 
Our  money  market  account  is  used  to  securitize  our  outstanding  letters  of  credit,  which  reduces  our  cost  on  those  letters  of  credit.  
Approximately 95% of our cash and investments are held in the U.S.  The remaining 5% is invested in our China operations.

Capital  expenditures  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  March  31,  2020  (which  we  refer  to  as  "fiscal  2020")  are  expected  to  be 
between approximately $2,500 and $2,800.  Approximately 75% to 80% of our fiscal 2020 capital expenditures are expected to be for 
machinery and equipment, with the remaining amounts expected to be used for other items.

Our revolving credit facility with JP Morgan Chase, N.A. ("JP Morgan Chase") provides us with a line of credit of $25,000, 
including letters of credit and bank guarantees.  In addition, our JP Morgan Chase agreement allows us to increase the line of credit, at 
our discretion, up to another $25,000, for total availability of $50,000.  Borrowings under this credit facility are secured by all of our 
assets.  We also have a $5,000 unsecured line of credit with HSBC, N.A. ("HSBC").  Letters of credit outstanding on March 31, 2019 
and March 31, 2018 were $8,503 and $8,233, respectively.  The outstanding letters of credit as of March 31, 2019 were issued by JP
Morgan  Chase,  HSBC,  as  well  as  Bank  of  America,  N.A.  (under  our  previous  credit  facility).    There  were  no  other  amounts 
outstanding on our credit facilities at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018.  The borrowing rate under our JP Morgan Chase facility as
of  March  31,  2019  was  the  bank’s  prime  rate,  or  5.50%.    Availability  under  the  JP  Morgan  Chase  and  HSBC  lines  of  credit  was 
$22,505 and $24,336 at March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, respectively.  We believe that cash generated from operations, combined 
with our investments and available financing capacity under our credit facility, will be adequate both to meet our cash needs for the 
immediate future and to support our growth strategies.

(2) Amounts  represent  anticipated  contributions  during  fiscal  2019  to  our  postretirement  medical  benefit  plan,  which  provides 
healthcare  benefits  for  eligible  retirees  and  eligible  survivors  of  retirees.    On  February  4,  2003,  we  terminated  postretirement 
healthcare  benefits  for  our  U.S.  employees.    Benefits  payable  to  retirees  of  record  on  April  1,  2003  remained  unchanged.    We 
expect to be required to make cash contributions in connection with these plans beyond one year, but such amounts cannot be
estimated.  No contributions are expected to be made to our defined benefit pension plan for fiscal 2020.

Orders and Backlog

Orders in fiscal 2019 decreased 10% to $101,241 from $112,230 in fiscal 2018.  Orders in fiscal 2019, excluding the business
held  for  sale,  were  $90,222,  down  from  $104,611  in  fiscal  2018.    Orders  represent  communications  received  from  customers 
requesting us to supply products and services.  Revenue is recognized on orders received in accordance with our revenue recognition 
policy described in Notes 1 and 2 to the consolidated financial statements contained in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 
10-K.

t

Domestic orders were 61%, or $62,205, and international orders were 39%, or $39,036, of our total net orders in fiscal 2019. 
This compared to net domestic orders of $77,126, or 69%, of total net orders, and international orders of $35,104, or 31%, of our total 
orders in fiscal 2018.   Domestic orders decreased by $14,921, or 19% as a result of weaker orders for the U.S. Navy business (we
received an atypical order for approximately $25,000 for work related to the U.S. Navy in fiscal 2018) and refining market, offset by
increased  demand  in  the  petrochemical  processing  and  nuclear  market  industries.    Net  international  orders  increased  by  $3,932, or 
11% in fiscal 2019.

Backlog  was  $132,127  at  March  31,  2019,  up  12%  compared  with  $117,946  at  March  31,  2018.    Backlog  was  $124,088,
excluding the commercial nuclear utility business which is being held for sale.  Backlog is defined by us as the total dollar value of 
orders received for which revenue has not yet been recognized.  All orders in backlog represent orders from our traditional markets in 
established product lines.  Approximately 55% to 60% of orders currently in our backlog are expected to be converted to sales within
one  year.    At  March  31,  2019,  approximately  22%  of  our  backlog  was  attributed  to  equipment  for  refinery  project  work,  19%  for 
chemical and petrochemical projects, 7% for power, including nuclear energy (89% of which is now considered held for sale as noted 
above), 49% for U.S. Navy projects and 3% for other industrial or commercial applications.  At March 31, 2018, approximately 30% 
of  our  backlog  was  attributed  to  equipment  for  refinery  project  work,  5%  for  chemical  and  petrochemical  projects,  5%  for  power,
including nuclear energy, 56% for U.S. Navy projects and 4% for other industrial or commercial applications.  At March 31, 2019, we
had no projects on hold.

Outlook

Capital  spending  in  the  energy  markets  we  serve  began  to  increase  during  the  second  half  of  fiscal  2018  and  continued 
through fiscal 2019. Orders from customers in the refining market were much stronger in the second half of fiscal 2018 than they had 
been in the three years prior.  Orders in the chemical and petrochemical market began to increase in fiscal 2019.  In general, refining 
and chemical industry end markets continue to measuredly release orders.  While our bidding activity has developed a robust pipeline 
of potential orders, final investment decisions and order placements by customers remain measured.  At March 31, 2019, 49% of our 
backlog was for the U.S. Navy.  Our pipeline continues to be robust, but quarterly fluctuations in order levels are likely to occur. 

We continue to believe in the long-term strength of the energy and petrochemical markets.  Coupled with our diversification 
strategy  with  the  U.S.  Navy,  we  believe  that  the  long-term  strength  of  our  markets  will  support  our  goal  to  significantly  grow our 
business.  We have invested in capacity to serve our commercial customers as well as to expand the work we do for the U.S. Navy.  
We intend to continue to look for organic growth opportunities as well as acquisitions or other business combinations that we believe 
will  allow  us  to  expand  our  presence  in  both  our  existing  and  ancillary  markets.    We  are  focused  on  reducing  earnings  volatility, 
growing our business and diversifying our business and product lines.

tt

We  expect  revenue  in  fiscal  2020  to  be  approximately  $95,000  to  $100,000;  this  excludes  the  commercial  nuclear  utility 
business which is held for sale.  This would be an anticipated increase of 14% to 20% when compared with $83,495 for fiscal 2019 
when excluding the held for sale business.  We project that approximately 55% to 60% of our March 31, 2019 backlog, excluding 
backlog held for sale, will convert to sales in fiscal 2020.  We expect the remaining backlog will convert beyond fiscal 2020, which
includes a combination of U.S. Navy orders that have a long conversion cycle (up to five years) as well as certain commercial orders,
the conversion of which has been extended by our customers.

We expect gross profit margin in fiscal 2020 to be in the 23% to 24% range, compared with 23.9% in fiscal 2019.  SG&A
during  fiscal  2020  is  expected  to  be  between  $17,000  and  $18,000.    Our  effective  tax  rate  during  fiscal  2020  is  expected  to  be 
approximately 20%.

We expect that cash flow in fiscal 2020 will continue to be solid.  We continue to believe that the long-term outlook for the 
energy and petrochemical markets is good and expect we will have more clarity on the strength of the ongoing recovery as we work rr
through fiscal 2020.

Contingencies and Commitments

We have been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained in, or 
accompanying,  our  products.    We  are  a  co-defendant  with  numerous  other  defendants  in  these  lawsuits  and  intend  to  vigorously 
defend  ourselves  against  these  claims.    The  claims  are  similar  to  previous  asbestos  lawsuits  that  named  us  as  a  defendant.    Such
previous lawsuits either were dismissed when it was shown that we had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were 
settled by us for immaterial amounts.  We cannot provide any assurances that any pending or future matters will be resolved in the
same manner as previous lawsuits.

As of March 31, 2019, we are subject to the claims noted above, as well as other legal proceedings and potential claims that 
have  arisen  in  the  ordinary  course  of  business.    Although  the  outcome  of  the  lawsuits  to  which  we  are,  or  may  become,  a  party  to
cannot  be  determined  and  an  estimate  of  the  reasonably  possible  loss  or  range  of  loss  cannot  be  made,  we  do  not  believe  that  the 
outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash 
flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

The  discussion  and  analysis  of  our  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations  are  based  upon  the  consolidated  financial
statements and the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which 
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.

Critical  accounting  policies  are  defined  as  those  that  reflect  significant  judgments  and  uncertainties  and  could  potentially

result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.

Revenue  Recognition.    The  Company  accounts  for  revenue  in  accordance  with  Accounting  Standard  Codification  606, 
"Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"), which it adopted on April 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

We  recognize  revenue  on  all  contracts  when  control  of  the  product  is  transferred  to  the  customer.    Control  is  generally
transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, we have rights to payment, 
and  rewards  of  ownership  pass  to  the  customer.    Customer  acceptance  may  also  be  a  factor  in  determining  whether  control  of  the
product has transferred.  Although revenue on the majority of our contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon 
shipment to the customer, revenue on larger contracts, which are fewer in number but generally represent the majority of revenue, is 
recognized over time as these contracts meet specific criteria in ASC 606.    

Valuation of Goodwill and Intangible Assets.  Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives 
and are assessed for impairment if certain indicators are present.  Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are
not amortized but are subject to impairment testing annually or earlier if an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair 
value of a reporting unit may have been reduced below its carrying value.  If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying 
value, an impairment loss, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, is recorded.  Fair values for reporting 
units are determined based on a weighted combination of the market approach and the income approach using discounted cash flows. 
Indefinite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.

t

Pension  and  Postretirement  Benefits.  Defined  benefit  pension  and  other  postretirement  benefit  costs  and  obligations  are 
dependent  on  actuarial  assumptions  used  in  calculating  such  amounts.    These  assumptions  are  reviewed  annually  and  include  the
discount  rate,  long-term  expected  rate  of  return  on  plan  assets,  salary  growth,  healthcare  cost  trend  rate  and  other  economic  and 
demographic factors.  We base the discount rate assumption for our plans on Moody's or Citigroup Pension Liability Index AA-rated 
corporate  long-term  bond  yield  rate.    The  long-term  expected  rate  of  return  on  plan  assets  is  based  on  the  plan’s  asset  allocation, 
historical returns and expectations as to future returns that are expected to be realized over the estimated remaining life of the plan 
liabilities  that  will  be  funded  with  the  plan  assets.    The  salary  growth  assumptions  are  determined  based  on  long-term  actual 
experience  and  future  and  near-term  outlook.    The  healthcare  cost  trend  rate  assumptions  are  based  on  historical  cost  and  payment 
data, the near-term outlook, and an assessment of likely long-term trends.

Income Taxes.  We use the liability method to account for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets 
are  recognized  for  the  tax  effects  of  temporary  differences  between  the  financial  reporting  and  tax  bases  of  liabilities  and  assets
measured using the enacted tax rate.

Deferred  income  tax  assets  and  liabilities  are  determined  based  on  the  difference  between  the  financial  statement  and  tax 
bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  using  current  tax  rates.    We  evaluate  available  information  about  future  taxable  income  and  other 
possible sources of realization of deferred income tax assets and record valuation allowances to reduce deferred income tax assets to
an  amount  that  represents  our  best  estimates  of  the  amounts  of  such  deferred  income  tax  assets  that  more  likely  than  not  will  be 
realized.

The  calculation  of  our  tax  liabilities  involves  dealing  with  uncertainties  in  the  application  of  complex  tax  regulations. 
Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions and determining our provision for income taxes. During the ordinary 
course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We establish
reserves  for  uncertain  tax  positions  when  we  believe  that  certain  tax  positions  do  not  meet  the  more  likely  than  not  threshold.  We 
adjust  these  reserves  in  light  of  changing  facts  and  circumstances,  such  as  the  outcome  of  a  tax  audit  or  the  lapse  of  the  statute  of 
limitations. The provision for income taxes includes the impact of reserve provisions and changes to the reserves that are considered 
appropriate.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

We have evaluated the accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the notes to
consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K and believe those policies to be
reasonable and appropriate.

27

We believe that the most critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements relate
to  labor  hour  estimates  and  establishment  of  operational  milestones  which  are  used  to  recognize  revenue  over  time,  fair  value 
estimates of goodwill and identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations, accounting for contingencies,
under which we accrue a loss when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and 
accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits.

As discussed above under the heading "Critical Accounting Policies," we recognize a majority of our revenue using an over-
time recognition method.  The key estimate for the over-time recognition model is total labor to be incurred on each contract and to 
the extent that this estimate changes, it may significantly impact revenue recognized in each period.

As  a  result  of  the  adoption  of  ASC  606,  we  anticipate  certain  large  international  contracts  will  not  qualify  for  over-time

revenue recognition which may cause inordinate quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year financial performance volatility.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment.  We assess goodwill for impairment 
by comparing the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts.  If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying 
value, an impairment loss, limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit, is recorded.  Fair values for reporting 
units are determined based on a weighted combination of the market approach and the income approach using discounted cash flows. 
Indefinite lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.

Contingencies, by their nature, relate to uncertainties that require us to exercise judgment both in assessing the likelihood that 
a liability has been incurred as well as in estimating the amount of potential loss.  For more information on these matters, see the notes
to consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

t

Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits involves estimating the cost of benefits to be provided well into 
the  future  and  attributing  that  cost  over  the  time  period  each  employee  works.    To  accomplish  this,  extensive  use  is  made  of 
assumptions  about  inflation,  investment  returns,  mortality,  turnover,  medical  costs  and  discount  rates.    These  assumptions  are
reviewed annually.

The  discount  rate  used  in  accounting  for  pensions  and  other  postretirement  benefits  expense  (income)  is  determined  in 
conjunction  with  our  actuary  by  reference  to  a  current  yield  curve  and  by  considering  the  timing  and  amount  of  projected  future
benefit payments.  The discount rate assumption for fiscal 2019 was 3.95% for our defined benefit pension plan and 3.63% for our 
other postretirement benefit plan.  A reduction in the discount rate of 50 basis points, with all other assumptions held constant, would 
have increased fiscal 2019 net periodic benefit expense for our defined benefit pension plan and other postretirement benefit plan by
approximately $451 and $0, respectively.

The expected return on plan assets assumption of 8.0% used in accounting for our pension plan is determined by evaluating 
the mix of investments that comprise plan assets and external forecasts of future long-term investment returns.  A reduction in the rate 
of return of 50 basis points, with other assumptions held constant, would have increased fiscal 2019 net periodic pension expense by
approximately $191.

During fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the pension plan released liabilities for vested benefits of certain participants through the 
purchase of nonparticipating annuity contracts with a third-party insurance company.  As a result of these transactions, in fiscal 2019 
and fiscal 2018, the projected benefit obligation decreased $1,589 and $890, respectively, and the plan assets decreased $1,718 and 
$998, respectively.  

t

As  part  of  our  ongoing  financial  reporting  process,  a  collaborative  effort  is  undertaken  involving  our  managers  with
functional  responsibilities  for  financial,  credit,  tax,  engineering,  manufacturing  and  benefit  matters,  and  outside  advisors  such  as
lawyers, consultants and actuaries.  We believe that the results of this effort provide management with the necessary information on 
which to base their judgments and to develop the estimates and assumptions used to prepare the financial statements.

We believe that the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual
Report on Form 10-K related to revenue, contingencies, pensions, other postretirement benefits and other matters requiring the use of 
estimates and judgments are reasonable, although actual outcomes could differ materially from our estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  management  evaluates  all  new  accounting  pronouncements  issued  by  the  Financial
Accounting Standards Board, the SEC, the Emerging Issues Task Force, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any 
other authoritative accounting body to determine the potential impact they may have on our consolidated financial statements.  For 

28

discussion  of  the  newly  issued  accounting  pronouncements  see  ''Accounting  and  reporting  changes''  in  Note  1  to  the  Consolidated
Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2019 or March 31, 2018, other than operating leases and 

letters of credit incurred in the ordinary course of business.  

Item 7A.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk 

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from market changes) to which we are exposed are foreign currency

exchange rates, price risk and project cancellation risk.

The  assumptions  applied  in  preparing  the  following  qualitative  and  quantitative  disclosures  regarding  foreign  currency 
exchange rate, price risk and project cancellation risk are based upon volatility ranges experienced by us in relevant historical periods, 
our current knowledge of the marketplace, and our judgment of the probability of future volatility based upon the historical trends and 
economic conditions of the markets in which we operate.

Foreign Currency

International consolidated sales for fiscal 2019 were 35% of total sales, up from 33% of sales in fiscal 2018.  Operating in 
markets throughout the world exposes us to movements in currency exchange rates.  Currency movements can affect sales in several 
ways,  the  foremost  being  our  ability  to  compete  for  orders  against  foreign  competitors  that  base  their  prices  on  relatively  weaker 
currencies.  Business lost due to competition for orders against competitors using a relatively weaker currency cannot be quantified.  
In  addition,  cash  can  be  adversely  impacted  by  the  conversion  of  sales  made  by  us  in  a  foreign  currency  to  U.S.  dollars.    In  fiscal
2019,  substantially  all  sales  for  which  we  or  our  subsidiaries  were  paid  were  denominated  in  the  local  currency  (U.S.  dollars  or 
Chinese RMB).

We have limited exposure to foreign currency purchases.  In fiscal 2019, our purchases in foreign currencies represented 2%
of the cost of products sold.  At certain times, we may enter into forward foreign currency exchange agreements to hedge our exposure 
against  potential  unfavorable  changes  in  foreign  currency  values  on  significant  sales  and  purchase  contracts  negotiated  in  foreign 
currencies.  Forward foreign currency exchange contracts were not used in fiscal 2019 and as of March 31, 2019, we held no forward 
foreign currency contracts.

xx

Price Risk

Operating in a global marketplace requires us to compete with other global manufacturers which, in some instances, benefit 
from  lower  production  costs  and  more  favorable  economic  conditions.    Although  we  believe  that  our  customers  differentiate  our 
products  on  the  basis  of  our  manufacturing  quality  and  engineering  experience  and  excellence,  among  other  things,  such  lower 
production costs and more favorable economic conditions mean that certain of our competitors are able to offer products similar to 
ours  at  lower  prices.    In  extreme  market  downturns,  such  as  we  recently  experienced,  we  typically  see  depressed  price  levels.  
Moreover, the cost of metals and other materials used in our products have experienced significant volatility.  Such factors, in addition
to the global effects of the recent volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, have resulted in downward demand and 
pricing pressure on our products.

aa

r

Project Cancellation and Project Continuation Risk

Adverse economic or specific project conditions can lead to a project being placed on hold or cancelled by our customers.  In 
fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, we had no projects cancelled.  At March 31, 2019, we had no projects on hold.  We attempt to mitigate the 
risk  of  cancellation  by  structuring  contracts  with  our  customers  to  maximize  the  likelihood  that  progress  payments  made  to  us  for 
individual projects cover the costs we have incurred.  As a result, we do not believe we have a significant cash exposure to projects
which may be cancelled.

ff

Open orders are reviewed continuously through communications with customers.  If it becomes evident to us that a project is 
delayed well beyond its original shipment date, management will move the project into "placed on hold" (i.e., suspended) category. 
Furthermore, if a project is cancelled by our customer, it is removed from our backlog.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017
(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)

Note 1 - The Company and Its Accounting Policies:

Graham Corporation, and its operating subsidiaries, (together, the "Company"), is a global designer, manufacturer and supplier 
of  vacuum  and  heat  transfer  equipment  used  in  the  chemical,  petrochemical,  petroleum  refining,  and  electric  power  generating
industries.    Energy  Steel  &  Supply  Co.  ("Energy  Steel"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  is  a  nuclear  code  accredited  fabrication  and 
specialty machining company which provides products to the commercial nuclear utility industry. During the fiscal year ended March 
31,  2019,  the  Company  established  Graham  India  Private  Limited  ("GIPL")  as  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary.    GIPL,  located  in 
Ahmedabad,  India,  serves  as  a  sales  and  market  development  office  focusing  on  the  refining,  petrochemical  and  fertilizer  markets. 
The Company's significant accounting policies are set forth below.

The  Company's  fiscal  years  ended  March  31,  2019,  2018  and  2017  are  referred  to  as  "fiscal  2019,"  "fiscal  2018"  and  "fiscal 

2017," respectively.

Principles of consolidation and use of estimates in the preparation of consolidated financial statements

The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the  accounts  of  the  Company  and  its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Energy  Steel,
located in Lapeer, Michigan, Graham Vacuum and Heat Transfer Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd., located in China, and GIPL, located
in India.  All intercompany balances, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation.

The  preparation  of  consolidated  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in  the  U.S. 
("GAAP")  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,  as  well  as  the  related  revenues  and  expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual amounts could differ from those estimated.

Translation of foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at currency exchange rates in effect at 
year-end and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the year.  Gains and losses resulting from 
foreign  currency  transactions  are  included  in  results  of  operations.  The  Company's  sales  and  purchases  in  foreign  currencies  are
minimal.  Therefore, foreign currency transaction gains and losses are not significant.  Gains and losses resulting from translation of 
foreign  subsidiary  balance  sheets  are  included  in  a  separate  component  of  stockholders'  equity.    Translation  adjustments  are  not 
adjusted for income taxes since they relate to an investment, which is permanent in nature.

Revenue recognition

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers"  ("ASC  606"),  which  it  adopted  on  April  1,  2018  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach.    See  the Accounting  and 
report changes section below for further discussion of this adoption.  

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  on  all  contracts  when  control  of  the  product  is  transferred  to  the  customer.    Control  is
generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has
rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer.  Customer acceptance may also be a factor in determining whether 
control  of  the  product  has  transferred.    Although  revenue  on  the  majority  of  the  Company’s  contracts,  as  measured  by  number  of 
contracts,  is  recognized  upon  shipment  to  the  customer,  revenue  on  larger  contracts,  which  are  fewer  in  number  but  generally
represent the majority of revenue, is recognized over time as these contracts meet specific criteria in ASC 606.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid, short-term investments with maturities at the time of purchase of 

three months or less.

Shipping and handling fees and costs

Shipping  and  handling  fees  billed  to  the  customer  are  recorded  in  net  sales  and  the  related  costs  incurred  for  shipping  and 

handling are included in cost of products sold.

36

Investments

Investments consist of certificates of deposits with financial institutions.  All investments have original maturities of greater than 
three months and less than one year and are classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company believes it has the intent and ability to hold 
the securities to maturity.  The investments are stated at amortized cost which approximates fair value.  All investments held by the 
Company at March 31, 2019 are scheduled to mature on or before September 25, 2019.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the average cost method.  Unbilled revenue (contract
assets) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets represents revenue recognized that has not been billed to customers on contracts in which 
revenue is recognized over time.  Upon adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance discussed in the "Accounting and report
changes" section below, all progress payments exceeding unbilled revenue are presented as customer deposits (contract liabilities) in
the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Under the previous guidance, progress payments exceeding unbilled revenue were netted against
inventory to the extent the payment was less than or equal to the inventory balance relating to the applicable contract, and the excess
was presented as customer deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

"

Property, plant, equipment, depreciation and amortization

Property,  plant  and  equipment  are  stated  at  cost  net  of  accumulated  depreciation  and  amortization.    Major  additions  and 
improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.  Depreciation and amortization are 
provided based upon the estimated useful lives, or lease term if shorter, under the straight-line method.  Estimated useful lives range
from approximately five to eight years for office equipment, eight to 25 years for manufacturing equipment and 40 years for buildings
and improvements.  Upon sale or retirement of assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts
and any resulting gain or loss is included in the results of operations.

Business combinations

The Company records its business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting.  Under the acquisition method of 
accounting, the Company allocates the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired 
and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values at the date of acquisition.  The fair value of identifiable intangible assets is
based upon detailed valuations that use various assumptions made by management.  Any excess of the purchase price over the fair
value  of  the  net  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  is  allocated  to  goodwill.    Direct  acquisition-related  costs  are  expensed  as
incurred.

q

Intangible assets

Acquired  intangible  assets  other  than  goodwill  consist  of  permits,  customer  relationships,  and  tradenames.    The  Company
amortizes  its  definite-lived  intangible  assets  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.    The  estimated  useful  life  is 
fifteen years for customer relationships.  All other intangibles have indefinite lives and are not amortized.

Impairment of long-lived assets

The  Company  assesses  the  impairment  of  definite-lived  long-lived  assets  or  asset  groups  when  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Factors that are considered in deciding when to perform an m
impairment review include: a significant decrease in the market price of the asset or asset group; a significant adverse change in the 
extent  or  manner  in  which  a  long-lived  asset  or  asset  group  is  being  used  or  in  its  physical  condition;  an  accumulation  of  costs
significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction; a current-period operating or cash flow 
loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated 
with the use of a long-lived asset or asset group; or a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group
will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.  The term more likely than not 
refers to a level of likelihood that is more than 50%.

Recoverability  potential  is  measured  by  comparing  the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  or  asset  group  to  its  related  total  future 
undiscounted cash flows.  If the carrying value is not recoverable through related cash flows, the asset or asset group is considered to 
be impaired.  Impairment is measured by comparing the asset or asset group's carrying amount to its fair value.  When it is determined 
that useful lives of assets are shorter than originally estimated, and no impairment is present, the rate of depreciation is accelerated in 
order to fully depreciate the assets over their new shorter useful lives.

37

Goodwill  and  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  lives  are  tested  annually  for  impairment  as  of  December  31.    The  Company 
assesses goodwill for impairment by comparing the fair value of its reporting units to their carrying amounts.  If the fair value of a 
reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value of the goodwill
within  the  reporting  unit  is  less  than  its  carrying  value.    Fair  values  for  reporting  units  are  determined  based  on  a  weighted 
combination  of  the  market  approach  and  the  income  approach  using  discounted  cash  flows.    Indefinite  lived  intangible  assets  are
assessed for impairment by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.

Assets and liabilities held for sale

The Company classifies long-lived assets (disposal group) to be sold as held for sale in accordance with Accounting Standards
Update  ("ASU")  2014-08,  "Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  (Topic  205)  and  Property,  Plant,  and  Equipment  (Topic  360): 
Reporting  Discontinued  Operation  And  Disclosures  of  Disposals  Of  Components  Of  An  Entity,"  in  the  period  in  which  all  of  the
following criteria are met:

1. Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset (disposal group);
2. The asset (disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual

and customary for sales of such assets (disposal group);

3. An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset (disposal group) 

have been initiated;

4. The sale of the asset (disposal group) is probable, and transfer of the asset (disposal group) is expected to qualify for 
recognition  as  a  completed  sale  within  one  year,  except  if  events  or  circumstances  beyond  the  Company's  control
extend the period of time required to sell the asset (disposal group) beyond one year;

5. The asset (disposal group) is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair 

value; and

6. Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or 

that the plan will be withdrawn.

A long-lived asset (disposal group) that is classified as held for sale is initially measured at the lower of its carrying value or fair 
value less any costs to sell.  Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are 
met.  Gains are not recognized on the sale of a long-lived asset (disposal group) until the date of sale.

The  fair  value  of  a  long-lived  asset  (disposal  group)  less  any  costs  to  sell  is  assessed  at  each  reporting  period  it  remains
classified as held for sale and any subsequent changes are reported as an adjustment to the carrying value of the asset (disposal group), 
as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the asset at the time it was initially classified as held for sale.  
Upon determining that a long-lived asset (disposal group) meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, the Company reports the 
assets and liabilities of the disposal group for all periods presented in the line items "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for 
sale," respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.  See Note 3.

Product warranties

The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its product warranties and records a liability in the amount of such
costs  at  the  time  revenue  is  recognized.    The  reserve  for  product  warranties  is  based  upon  past  claims  experience  and  ongoing 
evaluations  of  any  specific  probable  claims  from  customers.    A  reconciliation  of  the  changes  in  the  product  warranty  liability  is
presented in Note 7.

Research and development

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.  The Company incurred research and development costs of $3,538,
$3,211 and $3,863 in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively.  Research and development costs are included in the line 
item “Cost of products sold” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have 
been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based 
on  the  difference  between  the  financial  statement  and  tax  bases  of  assets  and  liabilities  using  currently  enacted  tax  rates.    The 
Company evaluates the available evidence about future taxable income and other possible sources of realization of deferred income 
tax  assets  and  records  a  valuation  allowance  to  reduce  deferred  income  tax  assets  to  an  amount  that  represents  the  Company's  best 
estimate of the amount of such deferred income tax assets that more likely than not will be realized.

38

The  Company  accounts  for  uncertain  tax  positions  using  a  "more  likely  than  not"  recognition  threshold.    The  evaluation  of 
uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or 
expected  to  be  taken  in  tax  returns,  the  effective  resolution  of  matters  subject  to  audit,  new  audit  activity  and  changes  in  facts  or 
circumstances related to a tax position.  These tax positions are evaluated on a quarterly basis.  It is the Company's policy to recognize 
any interest related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense and any penalties related to uncertain tax positions in selling, general 
and administrative expense.

The Company files federal and state income tax returns in several U.S. and non-U.S. domestic and foreign jurisdictions.  In most 
tax jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been 
filed.

Stock-based compensation

The Company records compensation costs related to stock-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the award on the 
grant  date.    Compensation  cost  is  recognized  in  the  Company's  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  over  the  applicable  vesting
period.  The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model as the method for determining the fair value of its stock option awards. 
For service and performance based restricted stock awards, the fair market value of the award is determined based upon the closing
value of the Company's stock price on the grant date.  The fair market value of market-based performance restricted stock awards is
determined using the Monte Carlo valuation model.  The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized during a period is
based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest.  The Company estimates the forfeiture rate at the grant date by
analyzing historical data and revises the estimates in subsequent periods if the actual forfeiture rate differs from the estimates.

(Loss) income per share data

Basic (loss) income per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding  for  the  period.    Diluted  (loss)  income  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  net  (loss)  income  by  the  weighted  average 
number of common shares outstanding and, when applicable, potential common shares outstanding during the period.   

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted (loss) income per share is presented below:

None of the options to purchase shares of common stock which totaled 39 and 69 in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, respectively,
were included in the computation of diluted loss per share as the affect would be anti-dilutive due to the net losses in the fiscal years. 
There were 11 options to purchase shares of common stock at various exercise prices in fiscal 2017 which were not included in thet
computation of diluted income per share as the affect would be anti-dilutive given their exercise prices.

Cash flow statement

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to 

be cash equivalents.

Interest paid was $12 in fiscal 2019, $12 in fiscal 2018, and $10 in fiscal 2017.  In addition, income taxes (refunded) paid were 

$(73) in fiscal 2019, $1,916 in fiscal 2018 and $951 in fiscal 2017.

In fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, non-cash activities included pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments,
net  of  income  tax,  of  $348,  $(1,668)  and  $(2,493),  respectively.    In  fiscal  2018,  non-cash  activities  included  the  reclassification  of 
$1,828 from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs
Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act").  Also, in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, non-cash activities included the issuance of treasury 
stock valued at $134, $130 and $241, respectively, to the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (See Note 13).

At March 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, there were $85, $0, and $4, respectively, of capital purchases that were recorded in accounts
payable  and  are  not  included  in  the  caption  "Purchase  of  property,  plant  and  equipment"  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Cash 
Flows.  In fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, capital expenditures totaling $100, $0 and $95, respectively, were financed through 
the issuance of capital leases.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss

Comprehensive income is comprised of net income and other comprehensive income or loss items, which are accumulated as a
separate component of stockholders' equity.  For the Company, other comprehensive income or loss items include a foreign currency 
translation adjustment and pension and other postretirement benefit adjustments.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the "exit price") in an 
orderly  transaction  between  market  participants  at  the  measurement  date.    The  accounting  standard  for  fair  value  establishes  a 
hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable 
inputs  by  requiring  that  the  most  observable  inputs  be  used  when  available.    Observable  inputs  are  inputs  that  market  participants
would  use  in  pricing  the  asset  or  liability  developed  based  on  market  data  obtained  from  sources  independent  of  the  Company. 
Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company's assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing 
the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.  The hierarchy is broken down into three 
levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability 
to access.  Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these 
products does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

n

Level 2 – Valuations determined from quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical 

instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  The degree of 

judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, the type of asset/liability, 
whether the asset/liability is established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction.  To the extent that 
valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires 
more judgment.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In 
such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is 
determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair  value  is  a  market-based  measure  considered  from  the  perspective  of  a  market  participant  rather  than  an  entity-specific
measure.  Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, assumptions are required to reflect those that market 
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

rr

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ materially from those
estimates.

Accounting and reporting changes

In  the  normal  course  of  business,  management  evaluates  all  new  accounting  pronouncements  issued  by  the  Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board  ("FASB"),  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC"),  the  Emerging  Issues  Task  Force,  the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or any other authoritative accounting body to determine the potential impact they 
may have on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

t

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."  This guidance establishes principles 
for  reporting  information  about  the  nature,  amount,  timing  and  uncertainty  of  revenue  and  cash  flows  arising  from  a  company’s
contracts  with  customers.    The  guidance  requires  companies  to  apply  a  five-step  model  when  recognizing  revenue  to  depict  the 
transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be 
entitled  in  exchange  for  those  goods  and  services.    The  guidance  also  includes  a  comprehensive  set  of  disclosure  requirements
regarding  revenue  recognition.    The  guidance  allows  two  methods  of  adoption:  (1)  a  full  retrospective  approach  where  historical
financial information is presented in accordance with the new standard and (2) a modified retrospective approach where the guidance 
is  applied  to  the  most  current  period  presented  in  the  financial  statements.    In  August  2015,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No  2015-14
"Revenue  from  Contracts  with  Customers:  Deferral  of  the  Effective  Date,"  which  deferred  the  effective  date  of  ASU  2014-09  to
annual  reporting  periods  beginning  after  December  15,  2017,  with  earlier  application  permitted  as  of  annual  reporting  periods
beginning after December 15, 2016.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)," to clarify the implementation guidance 
on principal versus agent.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606):
Identifying  Performance  Obligations  and  Licensing,"  which  clarifies  the  identifying  performance  obligations  and  licensing 
implementation guidance.  In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): 
Narrow  Scope  Improvements  and  Practical  Expedients,"  which  clarifies  the  implementation  guidance  related  to  collectability, 
presentation of sales tax, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition. 

The  Company  adopted  the  revenue  recognition  standard  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach  on  April  1,  2018.    The 
Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard to all contracts that were not completed on the date
of  adoption  as  an  adjustment  to  the  opening  balance  of  retained  earnings.    The  comparative  information  has  not  been  restated  and 
continues to be reported under the accounting standard in effect during those periods.  The most significant impact of adopting the
guidance is the timing of revenue recognition. Revenue on the majority of the Company's contracts continues to be recognized upon
shipment while revenue on its larger contracts is recognized over time as these contracts meet specific criteria established in the new
standards.  Consistent with previous guidance, revenue recognized on contracts over time created unbilled revenue (contract assets) 
and reduced inventory on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Upon adoption of the new standard, progress payments for 
which the Company has received an unconditional right to payment are recognized as trade accounts receivable with a corresponding 
contract  liability  of  an  equal  amount  as  customer  deposits  on  the  Company's  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets  since  the  related 
performance  obligations  have  not  been  satisfied.    Under  the  previous  guidance,  progress  payments  were  recognized  when  payment 
was received.  In addition, progress payments exceeding unbilled revenue were netted against inventory to the extent the payment was
less than or equal to the inventory balance relating to the applicable contract and the excess was presented as customer deposits.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires companies to recognize all leases 
as  assets  and  liabilities  on  the  consolidated  balance  sheet.    Lessees  are  permitted  to  make  an  accounting  policy  election  to  not 
recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less.  This ASU retains a distinction between finance leases
and  operating  leases,  and  the  classification  criteria  for  distinguishing  between  finance  leases  and  operating  leases  are  substantially 
similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases in the current accounting guidance.  
As a result, the effect of leases on the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and the consolidated statement of cash flows is
largely  unchanged  from  previous  generally  accepted  accounting  principles.    The  guidance  requires  application  on  a  modified 
retrospective basis based on the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements.  In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU
No. 2018-11, "Leases (Topic 842) Targeted Improvements, " which provides an additional transition method that allows entities to
initially  apply  the  guidance  at  the  adoption  date  and  recognize  a  cumulative  effect  adjustment  to  the  opening  balance  of  retained 
earnings in the period of adoption.  In addition, the guidance provides a practical expedient that allows entities to account for lease
components  and  associated  nonlease  components  as  a  single  component  if  specific  conditions  are  met.    The  amendments  in  these
ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  Earlier 
application is permitted. 

ff

The Company will adopt these standards using the modified retrospective approach on April 1, 2019.  The Company will elect 
an available transition method that uses the effective date of the amended guidance as the date of initial application.  The Company 
has completed its review of its lease agreements and processed the data required to measure the Company’s right of use assets and 
lease liabilities.

The amended guidance provides for several practical expedients.  The Company will elect the package of practical expedients 
permitted under the transition guidance which allows entities to carry forward historical lease classification.  The Company will elect 
the practical expedient that allows the combination of both lease and non-lease components as a single component and account for it 
as a lease for all classes of underlying assets.  The Company will make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and 
liability  for  leases  with  a  term  of  twelve  months  or  less.    The  Company  will  recognize  those  lease  payments  in  the  Consolidated
Statement of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  On April 1, 2019, the Company will recognize the cumulative 
effect of initially applying the amended guidance which will result in the recognition of right of use assets of approximately $700, 
lease liabilities of approximately $750 and a decrease to the opening balance of retained earnings of approximately $80.  Other current 
assets and the deferred income tax liability will also be reduced by approximately $50 and $20, respectively.  Approximately $500 of 
right of use assets and lease liabilities are related to the business held for sale.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)," which clarifies the presentation
and  classification  of  eight  specific  issues  on  the  cash  flow  statement.    This  ASU  is  effective  for  public  businesses  for  fiscal  years 
beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the new guidance in fiscal
2019.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In  March  2017,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2017-07,  "Compensation-Retirement  Benefits  (Topic  715),"  which  amended  its
guidance related to the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost.  The amended guidance 
requires the service cost component be disaggregated from the other components of net benefit cost.  The service cost component of 
expense is required to be reported in the Statement of Operations in the same line item as other compensation costs within income 
from operations.  The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component 
outside  of  income  from  operations.    The  amended  guidance  also  allows  only  the  service  cost  component  of  net  benefit  cost  to  be 
eligible for capitalization.  This ASU is effective for public businesses for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim 
periods within those fiscal years.  The Company adopted the amended guidance in fiscal 2019.  The amended guidance was applied 
retrospectively  for  the  presentation  of  the  service  cost  component  and  other  components  of  net  benefit  cost  in  the  Consolidated
Statements  of  Operations.    In  addition,  the  amended  guidance  was  applied  prospectively  for  the  capitalization  of  the  service  cost 
component  of  net  benefit  cost.    The  amended  guidance  allows  for  a  practical  expedient  that  permits  the  use  of  amounts  previously
disclosed  in  the  Employee  Benefit  Plans  Note  to  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  within  prior  comparative  periods  as  the
estimation basis for applying the retrospective presentation requirements.  The Company elected this practical expedient for the prior 
period presentation.  The adoption of this amended guidance resulted in the reclassification of net benefit income of $355 and $123
from  compensation  costs  included  in  Cost  of  products  sold  and  Selling,  general  and  administrative  expense,  respectively,  to  Other 
income in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2018 and the reclassification of net benefit income of $4 and $6 from 
compensation costs included in Cost of products sold and Selling, general and administrative expense, respectively, to Other income 
in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for fiscal 2017.

t

 In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2018-14,  "Compensation-Retirement  Benefits-Defined  Benefit  Plans-General
(Subtopic 715-20)," which removes disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarifies specific disclosure requirements
and  adds  disclosure  requirements  identified  as  relevant  for  defined  benefit  pension  and  other  postretirement  benefit  plans.    This 
amendment  is  effective  for  fiscal  years  ending  after  December  15,  2020.    Early  adoption  is  permitted.  The  amendment  requires
application on a retrospective basis to all periods presented.  The Company believes the adoption of this ASU will not have a material 
impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management does not expect any other recently issued accounting pronouncements, which have not already been adopted, to 

have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 2 – Revenue Recognition:

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 606, "Revenue from Contracts with 
Customers"  ("ASC  606"),  which  it  adopted  on  April  1,  2018  using  the  modified  retrospective  approach.    See  Note  1  to  the
Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of this adoption. 

The  Company  recognizes  revenue  on  all  contracts  when  control  of  the  product  is  transferred  to  the  customer.    Control  is
generally transferred when products are shipped, title is transferred, significant risks of ownership have transferred, the Company has
rights to payment, and rewards of ownership pass to the customer.

A performance obligation represents a promise in a contract to provide a distinct good or service to a customer and is the unit of 
accounting pursuant to ASC 606.  The Company accounts for a contract when it has approval and commitment from both parties, the
rights  of  the  parties  are  identified,  payment  terms  are  identified,  the  contract  has  commercial  substance  and  collectability  of
consideration  is  probable.    Transaction  price  reflects  the  amount  of  consideration  to  which  the  Company  expects  to  be  entitled  in 
exchange for transferred products.  A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and revenue is
recognized  as  the  performance  obligation  is  satisfied.    In  certain  cases,  the  Company  may  separate  a  contract  into  more  than  one
performance obligation, while in other cases, several products may be part of a fully integrated solution and are bundled into a single
performance  obligation.    If  a  contract  is  separated  into  more  than  one  performance  obligation,  the  Company  allocates  the  total 
transaction  price  to  each  performance  obligation  in  an  amount  based  on  the  estimated  relative  standalone  selling  prices  of  the 
promised goods underlying each performance obligation.  The Company has made an accounting policy election to exclude from the 
measurement of the contract price all taxes assessed by government authorities that are collected by the Company from its customers. 
The  Company  does  not  adjust  the  contract  price  for  the  effects  of  a  financing  component  if  the  Company  expects,  at  contract 
inception, that the period between when a product is transferred to a customer and when the customer pays for the product will be one 
year or less.  Shipping and handling fees billed to the customer are recorded in revenue and the related costs incurred for shipping and 
handling are included in cost of products sold.

t

Revenue on the majority of the Company’s contracts, as measured by number of contracts, is recognized upon shipment to the
customer,  however,  revenue  on  larger  contracts,  which  are  fewer  in  number  but  generally  represent  the  majority  of  revenue,  is
recognized  over  time  as  these  contracts  meet  specific  criteria  established  in  ASC  606.      Revenue  from  contracts  that  is  recognized 
upon  shipment  accounted  for  approximately  40%  of  revenue  in  fiscal  2019.    Revenue  from  contracts  that  is  recognized  over  time
accounted for approximately 60% of revenue in fiscal 2019.  The Company recognizes revenue over time when contract performance
results in the creation of a product for which the Company does not have an alternative use and the contract includes an enforceable 
right to payment in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the performance completed.  To measure progress towards
completion on performance obligations for which revenue is recognized over time the Company utilizes an input method based upon a n
ratio  of  direct  labor  hours  incurred  to  date  to  management’s  estimate  of  the  total  labor  hours  to  be  incurred  on  each  contract or  an 
output  method  based  upon  completion  of  operational  milestones,  depending  upon  the  nature  of  the  contract.    The  Company  has
established  the  systems  and  procedures  essential  to  developing  the  estimates  required  to  account  for  performance  obligations  over 
time.  These procedures include monthly review by management of costs incurred, progress towards completion, identified risks and 
opportunities,  sourcing  determinations,  changes  in  estimates  of  costs  yet  to  be  incurred,  availability  of  materials,  and  execution  by 
subcontractors.  Sales and earnings are adjusted on a cumulative catch-up basis in current accounting periods based upon revisions in 
the contract value due to pricing changes and estimated costs at completion.  Losses on contracts are recognized immediately when
evident to management. 

The timing of revenue recognition, invoicing and cash collections affect trade accounts receivable, unbilled revenue (contract 
assets)  and  customer  deposits  (contract  liabilities)  on  the  Consolidated  Balance  Sheets.    Unbilled  revenue  represents  revenue  on 
contracts that is recognized over time and exceeds the amount that has been billed to the customer.  Unbilled revenue is separately 
presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company may receive a customer deposit or have an unconditional right to receive 
a customer deposit prior to revenue being recognized.  Because the performance obligations related to such customer deposits may not 
have been satisfied, a contract liability is recorded and an offsetting asset of equal amount is recorded as a trade accounts receivable 
until the deposit is collected.  Customer deposits are separately presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Customer deposits are 
not considered a significant financing component as they are generally received less than one year before the product is completed or 
used to procure specific material on a contract, as well as related overhead costs incurred during design and construction.

Contract liabilities at March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 include $6,382 and $2,220, respectively, of customer deposits for which
the  Company  has  an  unconditional  right  to  collect  payment.    Trade  accounts  receivable,  as  presented  on  the  Consolidated  Balance
Sheets and within Note 1, includes corresponding balances at March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively.  Revenue recognized in
fiscal  2019  that  was  included  in  the  contract  liability  balance  at  April  1,  2018  was  $10,680.    Changes  in  the  net  contract  liability
balance during fiscal 2019 were impacted by a $1,430 increase in contract assets, of which $7,626 was due to contract progress offset 
by invoicing to customers of $5,894 and the reclassification of unbilled revenue of $302 to assets held for sale.  In addition, contract 
liabilities increased $4,262 driven by new customer deposits of $16,875 offset by revenue recognized in fiscal 2019 that was included 
in the contract liability balance at April 1, 2018 and the reclassification of customer deposits of $1,933 to liabilities held for sale.

Receivables  billed  but  not  paid  under  retainage  provisions  in  the  Company’s  customer  contracts  were  $2,214  and  $1,124  at 

March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Incremental costs to obtain a contract consist of sales employee and agent commissions.  Commissions paid to employees and 
sales  agents  are  capitalized  when  paid  and  amortized  to  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense  when  the  related  revenue  is
recognized.    Capitalized  costs,  net  of  amortization,  to  obtain  a  contract  were  $133  and  $118  at  March  31,  2019  and  April  1,  2018, 
respectively, and are included in the line item "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The 
related amortization expense was $168 in fiscal 2019.

The  Company's  remaining  unsatisfied  performance  obligations  represent  a  measure  of  the  total  dollar  value  of  work  to  be
performed on contracts awarded and in progress.  The Company also refers to this measure as backlog.  As of March 31, 2019, the
Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations of $132,127, of which $8,039 was held for sale.  The Company expects 
to recognize revenue on approximately 55% to 60% of the remaining performance obligations within one year, 10% to 15% in one to
two years and the remaining beyond two years.  

Note 3 – Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

In March 2019, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to sell Energy Steel.  Energy Steel met all of the criteria to
classify its assets and liabilities as held for sale in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019.  The potential disposal of Energy Steel does not 
represent  a  strategic  shift  that  will  have  a  major  effect  on  the  Company’s  operations  and  financial  results  and  is,  therefore, not 
classified  as  discontinued  operations  in  accordance  with  ASU  2014-08,  "Presentation  of  Financial  Statements  (Topic  205)  and 
Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360):  Reporting Discontinued Operation And Disclosures of Disposals Of Components Of An 
Entity."  As part of the required assessment under the held for sale guidance, the Company determined that the approximate fair value 
less costs to sell the operations was less than its carrying value and, as a result, an impairment loss totaling $6,449 was recorded in 
fiscal 2019.  (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.)

Finite-lived  intangible  assets  are  amortized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  their  estimated  useful  lives.    Intangible  amortization 

expense was $180 in each of fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017.   

During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2018,  the  Company  performed  its  annual  goodwill  and  intangible  asset  impairment  review. 
The  Company  assesses  impairment  by  comparing  the  fair  value  of  its  reporting  units  and  intangible  assets  to  their  related  carrying 
value.  The Company estimated the fair value of intangible assets and goodwill of its commercial nuclear utility business related to the 
December 2010 acquisition of Energy Steel using the income approach.  Under the income approach, the fair value of the business is
calculated based on the present value of estimated future cash flows.  Cash flow projections are based on management’s estimates of 
revenue growth rates and operating margins, taking into consideration industry and market conditions.  The discount rate used is based 
on a weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the characteristics of the business and the projected 
cash flows.  The inputs utilized in the analyses are classified as Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy.  The impairment review 
indicated that the fair value of the permits, tradename and goodwill of the business were substantially lower than the carrying value
due to reduced investment from the U.S. commercial nuclear utility market, the strength of the Energy Steel brand relative to larger 
more vertically integrated suppliers, and the bankruptcy of Westinghouse Electric Company which resulted in the stoppage of work at 
the Summer, South Carolina nuclear facility.  As a result, in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 the Company recorded impairment losses
of $8,600, $500, and $5,716 for permits, tradename and goodwill, respectively.   

rr

During  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  2019,  the  Company  performed  its  annual  goodwill  and  intangible  asset  impairment  review
based  on  a  weighted  combination  of  the  market  approach  and  the  income  approach  as  described  above.    The  review  indicated  that 
there was no impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.  

As disclosed in Note 3, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell Energy
Steel and, as a result, the Company classified the assets and liabilities of Energy Steel as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held 
for sale" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2019.  An impairment loss totaling $6,449 was recorded in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2019 related to the disposition of Energy Steel which included impairment losses of $1,700, $2,000, $1,208, $1,222

Note 9 - Debt:

Short-Term Debt

The Company and its subsidiaries had no short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31, 2019 and 2018.

On December 2, 2015, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. that 
provides a $25,000 line of credit, including letters of credit and bank guarantees, expandable at the Company's option at any time up to 
$50,000.  The agreement has a five-year term.

At  the  Company's  option,  amounts  outstanding  under  the  agreement  will  bear  interest  at  either:  (i)  a  rate  equal  to  the  bank's 
prime rate; or (ii) a rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin.  The margin is based on the Company's funded debt to earnings before interest 
expense,  income  taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization  ("EBITDA")  and  may  range  from  1.75%  to  0.95%.    Amounts  available  for 
borrowing under the agreement are subject to an unused commitment fee of between 0.30% and 0.20%, depending on the above ratio.  
The bank’s prime rate was 5.50% and 4.75% at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Outstanding letters of credit under the agreement are subject to a fee of between 1.20% and 0.70%, depending on the Company's
ratio of funded debt to EBITDA.  The agreement allows the Company to reduce the fee on outstanding letters of credit to a fixed rate 
of 0.40% by securing outstanding letters of credit with cash and cash equivalents.  At March 31, 2019, all outstanding letters of credit 
were secured by certificate of deposit.  At March 31, 2019, there were $4,763 letters of credit outstanding on the JPMorgan Chase
Bank,  N.A.  revolving  credit  facility  and  $1,008  with  Bank  of  America,  N.A.    Availability  under  the  line  of  credit  was  $20,237  at 
March 31, 2019.

d

Under the revolving credit facility, the Company covenants to maintain a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio, as defined in
such  credit  facility,  of  3.5  to  1.0  and  a  minimum  earnings  before  interest  expense  and  income  taxes  ("EBIT")  to  interest  ratio,  as
defined in such credit facility, of 4.0 to 1.0.  The agreement also provides that the Company is permitted to pay dividends without 
limitation if it maintains a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio equal to or less than 2.0 to 1.0 and permits the Company to pay
dividends in an amount equal to 25% of net income if it maintains a funded debt to EBITDA ratio of greater than 2.0 to 1.0.  The 
Company was in compliance with all such provisions as of and for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.  Assets with a book 
value of $137,075 have been pledged to secure borrowings under the credit facility.

t

On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of credit facility agreement to further support its international operations. 
The agreement provides a $5,000 line of credit to be used for the issuance of letters of credit.  Under the agreement, the Company 
incurs  an  annual  facility  fee  of  0.375%  of  the  maximum  amount  available  under  the  facility  and  outstanding  letters  of  credit  are 
subject to a fee of between 1.25% and 0.75%, depending on the Company's ratio of funded debt to EBITDA, as defined in such credit 
facility.  The facility requires the Company to maintain a maximum funded debt to EBITDA ratio of 3.5 to 1.0 and a minimum EBIT
to interest ratio, as defined in such credit facility, of 4.0 to 1.0.  At March 31, 2019 there were $2,732 letters of credit outstanding, and 
availability under the letter of credit facility was $2,268.

Long-Term Debt

The Company and its subsidiaries had long-term capital lease obligations outstanding as follows:

Note 10 - Financial Instruments and Derivative Financial Instruments:

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial  instruments  that  potentially  subject  the  Company  to  concentrations  of  credit  risk  consist  principally  of  cash,  cash
equivalents, investments, and trade accounts receivable.  The Company places its cash, cash equivalents, and investments with high 
credit quality financial institutions, and evaluates the credit worthiness of these financial institutions on a regular basis. Concentrations
of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Company's 
customer base and their geographic dispersion.  At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had no significant concentrations of credit 
risk.

Letters of Credit

The Company has entered into standby letter of credit agreements with financial institutions relating to the guarantee of future 
performance on certain contracts.  At March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company was contingently liable on outstanding standby letters
of credit aggregating $8,503 and $8,233, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management

The  Company,  as  a  result  of  its  global  operating  and  financial  activities,  is  exposed  to  market  risks  from  changes  in  foreign 
exchange  rates.    In  seeking  to  minimize  the  risks  and/or  costs  associated  with  such  activities,  the  Company  may  utilize  foreign
exchange  forward  contracts  with  fixed  dates  of  maturity  and  exchange  rates.    The  Company  does  not  hold  or  issue  financial 
instruments for trading or other speculative purposes and only holds contracts with high quality financial institutions.  If the counter-

50

 
 
 
   
 
parties to any such exchange contracts do not fulfill their obligations to deliver the contracted foreign currencies, the Company could 
be  at  risk  for  fluctuations,  if  any,  required  to  settle  the  obligation.    At  March  31,  2019  and  2018,  there  were  no  foreign  exchange
forward contracts held by the Company.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimates of the fair value of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

Cash  and  cash  equivalents:    The  carrying  amount  of  cash  and  cash  equivalents  approximates  fair  value  due  to  the  short-term 

maturity of these instruments and are considered Level 1 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

Investments:  The fair value of investments at March 31, 2019 and 2018 approximated the carrying value and are considered 

Level 2 assets in the fair value hierarchy.

The  foreign  deferred  income  tax  asset  of  $37  and  $15  at  March  31,  2019  and  2018,  respectively,  is  included  in  the  caption 
"Other assets" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.  Deferred income taxes include the impact of state investment tax credits of $275, 
which expire from 2020 to 2033 and state investment tax credits of $794, which have an unlimited carryforward period.

52

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
Foreign  net  operating  losses  at  March  31,  2019  were  $200  and  expire  between  2021  through  2023.    Net  operating  losses
attributable to Energy Steel, the subsidiary held for sale, for city income taxes were $4,279 at March 31, 2019 and have an indefinite 
life.        

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers, within each taxing jurisdiction, whether it is more
likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Management considers the scheduled reversal of 
deferred  tax  liabilities,  projected  future  taxable  income  and  tax  planning  strategies  in  making  this  assessment.  Based  on  the
consideration of the weight of both positive and negative evidence, management determined that a portion of the deferred tax assets as
of March 31, 2019 and 2018 related to certain state investment tax credits and the capital loss related to the subsidiary held for sale 
would not be realized, and recorded a valuation allowance of $4,917 and $1,074, respectively.  The deferred tax asset of $126 included 
in the caption "Assets held for sale" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet includes a valuation allowance of $34 related to net operating 
loss carryforwards for city income taxes.

The  Company  files  federal  and  state  income  tax  returns  in  several  domestic  and  international  jurisdictions.    In  most  tax 
jurisdictions, returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities for a number of years after the returns have been filed.  
The Company is subject to U.S. federal examination for tax years 2015 through 2018 and examination in state tax jurisdictions for tax 
years 2014 through 2018.  The Company is subject to examination in the People's Republic of China for tax years 2015 through 2018.  
The liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $0 at each of March 31, 2019 and 2018.

ff

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was signed into law.  The Tax Act significantly revised the U.S. tax code by, among other 
changes,  lowering  the  corporate  income  tax  rate  from  35%  to  21%,  requiring  a  one-time  transition  tax  on  accumulated  foreign 
earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred and creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings.  
The Company remeasured certain U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the rates at which they are expected to reverse in the 
future, which is generally 21%, and recorded an income tax benefit of $971 related to such re-measurement in fiscal 2018. 

The  one-time  transition  tax  is  based  on  the  total  post-1986  earnings  and  profits  (“E&P”)  of  our  foreign  subsidiary  that  has 
previously  been  deferred  from  U.S.  income  taxes.    The  Company  recorded  its  one-time  transition  liability  of  its  foreign  subsidiary 
resulting in additional income tax expense of $185 in fiscal 2018.  The transition tax is based in part on the amount of those earnings
held in cash and other specified assets. 

The  Tax  Act  also  includes  two  new  U.S.  tax  base-erosion  provisions,  the  global  intangible  low-taxed  income  ("GILTI") 
provisions  and  the  base-erosion  and  anti-abuse  tax  ("BEAT")  provisions,  beginning  in  2018.    The  GILTI  provisions  require  the 
Company  to  include  in  its  U.S.  income  tax  return  foreign  subsidiary  earnings  in  excess  of  an  allowable  return  on  the  foreign 
subsidiary’s tangible assets.  The Company has elected to account for GILTI tax in the period in which it is incurred and has recorded 
$11  of  tax  related  to  GILTI  in  fiscal  2019.    The  BEAT  provisions  in  the  Tax  Act  eliminate  the  deduction  of  certain  base-erosion
payments made to related foreign corporations and impose a minimum tax if greater than regular tax.  The Company was not subject 
to this tax, and therefore has not included any tax impacts of BEAT in its consolidated financial statements.

The Tax Act also provides tax incentives to U.S. companies to earn income from the sale, lease or license of goods and services
abroad in the form of a deduction for foreign-derived intangible income ("FDII").  FDII is taxed at an effective rate of 13.125% for 
taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017.  The incremental U.S. tax savings on FDII in fiscal 2019 was $69.

The  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  issued  Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No.  118  to  address  the  application  of  U.S. 
GAAP  in  situations  when  a  registrant  does  not  have  the  necessary  information  available,  prepared,  or  analyzed  (including 
computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act.  The Company recognized 
the provisional tax impacts related to the revaluation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and included the amount in its consolidated 
financial statements in fiscal 2018 and during fiscal 2019 there were no significant changes made to the provisional amounts recorded 
in fiscal 2018.

Note 12 – Employee Benefit Plans:

Retirement Plans

The  Company  has  a  qualified  defined  benefit  plan  covering  U.S.  employees  hired  prior  to  January  1,  2003,  which  is  non-
contributory.  Benefits are based on the employee's years of service and average earnings for the five highest consecutive calendar 
years of compensation in the ten-year period preceding retirement.  The Company's funding policy for the plan is to contribute the
amount required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

During fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, the pension plan released liabilities for vested benefits of certain participants through the 
purchase of nonparticipating annuity contracts with a third-party insurance company.  As a result of these transactions, in fiscal 2019 
and fiscal 2018, the projected benefit obligation decreased $1,589 and $890, respectively, and plan assets decreased $1,718 and $998 
respectively.  The projected benefit obligation is the actuarial present value of benefits attributable to employee service rendered to 
date, including the effects of estimated future pay increases.  The accumulated benefit obligation reflects the actuarial present value of 
benefits  attributable  to  employee  service  rendered  to  date,  but  does  not  include  the  effects  of  estimated  future  pay  increases.    The 
accumulated benefit obligation as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $30,380 and $30,385, respectively.  At March 31, 2019 and 2018,
the pension plan was fully funded on an accumulated benefit obligation basis.

The investment strategy of the plan is to generate a consistent total investment return sufficient to pay present and future plan 
benefits to retirees, while minimizing the long-term cost to the Company.  Target allocations for asset categories are used to earn a 
reasonable  rate  of  return,  provide  required  liquidity  and  minimize  the  risk  of  large  losses.    Targets  are  adjusted  when  considered 
necessary  to  reflect  trends  and  developments  within  the  overall  investment  environment.    In  fiscal  2019,  the  target  allocation  was
adjusted to 50% from 65% for equity securities and to 50% from 35% for debt securities.

On February 4, 2003, the Company closed the defined benefit plan to all employees hired on or after January 1, 2003.  In place 
of  the  defined  benefit  plan,  these  employees  participate  in  the  Company's  domestic  defined  contribution  plan.    The  Company 
contributes  a  fixed  percentage  of  employee  compensation  to  this  plan  on  an  annual  basis  for  these  employees.    The  Company
contribution to the defined contribution plan for these employees in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 was $325, $284 and $286,
respectively.

The  Company  has  a  Supplemental  Executive  Retirement  Plan  ("SERP")  which  provides  retirement  benefits  associated  with 
wages  in  excess  of  the  legislated  qualified  plan  maximums.    Pension  expense  recorded  in  fiscal  2019,  fiscal  2018,  and  fiscal  2017
related  to  this  plan  was  $97,  $115  and  $128,  respectively.    At  March  31,  2019  and  2018,  the  related  liability  was  $662  and  $582, 
respectively.    The  current  portion  of  the  related  liability  was  $0  and  $17 at  March  31,  2019  and  2018  is  included  in  the  caption
"Accrued Compensation" and the long-term portion is included in "Accrued Pension Liability" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has a domestic defined contribution plan (401k) covering substantially all employees.  The Company provides
matching  contributions  equal  to  100%  of  the  first  3%  of  an  employee's  salary  deferral  and  50%  of  the  next  2%  percent  of  an 
employee’s salary deferral.  Company contributions are immediately vested.  Contributions were $1,135 in fiscal 2019, $805 in fiscal
2018 and $873 in fiscal 2017.

Other Postretirement Benefits

In  addition  to  providing  pension  benefits,  the  Company  has  a  plan  in  the  U.S.  that  provides  health  care  benefits  for  eligible 
retirees  and  eligible  survivors  of  retirees.    The  Company's  share  of  the  medical  premium  cost  has  been  capped  at  $4  for  family
coverage and $2 for single coverage for early retirees, and $1 for both family and single coverage for regular retirees.

On February 4, 2003, the Company terminated postretirement health care benefits for its U.S. employees.  Benefits payable to 

retirees of record on April 1, 2003 remained unchanged.

The  medical  care  cost  trend  rate  used  in  the  actuarial  computation  ultimately  reduces  to  4.5%  in  2024  and  subsequent  years.  

This was accomplished using 0.5% decrements for the years ended March 31, 2019 through 2024.

The current portion of the accrued postretirement benefit obligation of $78 and $81, at March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively,
is  included  in  the  caption  "Accrued  Compensation"  and  the  long-term  portion  is  separately  presented  in  the  Consolidated  Balance

Assumed  medical  care  cost  trend  rates  could  have  a  significant  effect  on  the  amounts  reported  for  the  postretirement  benefit 
plan.  However, due to the caps imposed on the Company's share of the premium costs, a one percentage point change in assumed 
medical care cost trend rates would not have a significant effect on the total service and interest cost components or the postretirement 
benefit obligation.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

On January 3, 2017, the Company transferred the Company stock and accumulated dividends in its noncontributory Employee 
Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to its domestic defined contribution plan (401k) and subsequently terminated the ESOP.  There were 
no Company contributions to the ESOP in fiscal 2017. 

Self-Insured Medical Plan

Effective  January  1,  2014,  the  Company  commenced  self-funding  the  medical  insurance  coverage  provided  to  its  U.S.  based 
employees.  The Company has obtained a stop loss insurance policy in an effort to limit its exposure to claims.  The Company has
specific  stop  loss  coverage  per  employee  for  claims  incurred  during  the  year  exceeding  $100  per  employee  with  annual  maximum 
aggregate stop loss coverage of $1,000.  The Company also has total plan annual maximum aggregate stop loss coverage of $2,399. 
The liability of $150 and $122 on March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, related to the self-insured medical plan is primarily based 
upon claim history and is included in the caption "Accrued Compensation" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 13 - Stock Compensation Plans:

The  Amended  and  Restated  2000  Graham  Corporation  Incentive  Plan  to  Increase  Shareholder  Value,  as  approved  by  the 
Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting on July 28, 2016, provides for the issuance of up to 1,375 shares of common stock in 
connection with grants of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock awards and performance awards to officers, key 
employees and outside directors; provided, however, that no more than 467 shares of common stock may be used for awards other 
than stock options.  Stock options may be granted at prices not less than the fair market value at the date of grant and expire no later 
than ten years after the date of grant.

In  fiscal  2019,  fiscal  2018  and  fiscal  2017,  53,  59  and  82  shares,  respectively,  of  restricted  stock  were  awarded.    Restricted 
shares of 27, 30 and 43 granted to officers in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, vest 100% on the third anniversary

of the grant date subject to the satisfaction of the performance metrics for the applicable three-year period.  Restricted shares of 20, 22, 
and  31  granted  to  officers  and  key  employees  in  fiscal  2019,  fiscal  2018,  and  fiscal  2017  respectively,  vest 33(cid:4)%  per  year  over  a 
three-year term.  The restricted shares granted to directors of 6, 7 and 8 in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, vest 
100% on the first anniversary of the grant date.  The Company recognizes compensation cost over the period the shares vest.

During fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018, and fiscal 2017, the Company recognized $1,069, $577, and $621, respectively, of stock-based 

compensation cost related to stock option and restricted stock awards, and $237, $125 and $219, respectively, of related tax benefits.

The Company received cash proceeds from the exercise of stock options of $307, $0 and $137 in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and 
fiscal  2017,  respectively.    In  fiscal  2019,  fiscal  2018  and  fiscal  2017,  the  Company  recognized  a  $0,  $0  and  $(19),  respectively, 
(decrease) increase in capital in excess of par value for the income tax (expense) benefit realized upon exercise of stock options and 
vesting  of  restricted  shares  in  excess  of  the  tax  benefit  amount  recognized  pertaining  to  the  fair  value  of  stock  awards  treated  as
compensation expense.

The Company has an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"), which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the 
Company's common stock at a discount of up to 15% of its fair market value on the (1) last, (2) first or (3) lower of the last or first day 
of the six-month offering period.  A total of 200 shares of common stock may be purchased under the ESPP.  In fiscal 2019, fiscal
2018 and fiscal 2017, 6, 7 and 15 shares, respectively, were issued from treasury stock to the ESPP for the offering periods in each of 
the fiscal years.  During fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, the Company recognized stock-based compensation cost of $0, $0 
and  $6,  respectively,  related  to  the  ESPP  and  $0,  $0  and  $2,  respectively,  of  related  tax  benefits.    The  Company  recognized  no 
increase in capital in excess of par value for the income tax benefit realized from disqualifying dispositions in excess of the tax benefit 
amount recognized pertaining to the compensation expense recorded in each of fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively.

Note 15 - Segment Information:

The Company has one reporting segment as its operating segments meet the requirement for aggregation.  The Company and its 
operating  subsidiaries  design  and  manufacture  heat  transfer  and  vacuum  equipment  for  the  chemical,  petrochemical,  refining  and 
electric power generating markets.  Energy Steel supplies components and raw materials for the commercial nuclear utility market.  
Heat  transfer  equipment  includes  surface  condensers,  Heliflows,  water  heaters  and  various  types  of  heat  exchangers.    Vacuum 
equipment  includes  steam  jet  ejector  vacuum  systems  and  liquid  ring  vacuum  pumps.    These  products  are  sold  individually  or 
combined into package systems.  The Company also services and sells spare parts for its equipment.

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements for net sales by product line and geographic area.

In  fiscal  2019  and  fiscal  2017,  total  sales  to  one  customer  amounted  to  12%  and  11%,  respectively,  of  total  consolidated  net 

sales.  There were no sales to a single customer that amounted to 10% or more of total consolidated net sales in fiscal 2018.

Note 16 – Restructuring Charge:

In  fiscal  2018  and  fiscal  2017,  the  Company  aligned  its  workforce  with  market  conditions  by  reducing  the  number  of 
management, office and manufacturing positions.  As a result, a restructuring charge of $316 and $630 was recognized in fiscal 2018 
and fiscal 2017, respectively, which included severance and related employee benefit costs.  The charges were included in the caption 
''Restructuring Charge'' in the fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017 Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

 A reconciliation of the changes in the restructuring reserve in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 is as follows:

Note 17 – Purchase of Treasury Stock:

On January 29, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program.  Under the stock repurchase 
program the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $18,000 of its common stock either in the open market or through privately
negotiated  transactions.  Cash  on  hand  has  been  used  to  fund  all  stock  repurchases  under  the  program.    No  shares  were  purchased 
under this program in fiscal 2019, fiscal 2018 or fiscal 2017.

Note 18– Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury from exposure to asbestos allegedly contained 
in,  or  accompanying,  products  made  by  the  Company.  The  Company  is  a  co-defendant  with  numerous  other  defendants  in  these 
lawsuits and intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. The claims in the Company’s current lawsuits are similar to those
made in previous asbestos-related suits that named the Company as a defendant, which either were dismissed when it was shown that 
the Company had not supplied products to the plaintiffs’ places of work or were settled for immaterial amounts.  The Company cannot 
provide any assurances that any pending or future matters will be resolved in the same manner as previous lawsuits.

a

r

As  of  March  31,  2019,  the  Company  was  subject  to  the  claims  noted  above,  as  well  as  other  legal  proceedings  and  potential

claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

Although the outcome of the lawsuits, legal proceedings or potential claims to which the Company is, or may become, a party to
cannot be determined and an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made, management does not believe 
that the outcomes, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, 
financial position or cash flows.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Graham Corporation
Batavia, New York

Opinion on the Financial Statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Graham Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March
31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity,
and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
“financial  statements”).  In  our  opinion,  the  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  the 
Company as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended March 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States) 
(PCAOB),  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2019  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal 
Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our 
report dated May 31, 2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Change in Accounting Principle

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for revenue from contracts with 
customers  in  fiscal  year  2019  due  to  the  adoption  of  Accounting  Standards  Update  No.  2014-09,  Revenue  from  Contracts  with
Customers (Topic 606), issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. The Company adopted the standard using the modified 
retrospective approach.

Basis for Opinion

These  financial  statements  are  the  responsibility  of  the  Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the 
Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to 
be  independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance  with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 
Our  audits  included  performing  procedures  to  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  financial  statements,  whether  due  to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of
Graham Corporation
Batavia, New York 

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Graham Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 
31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  In  our  opinion,  the  Company  maintained,  in  all  material  respects,  effective 
internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  March  31,  2019,  based  on  criteria  established  in  Internal  Control  —  Integrated 
Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We  have  also  audited,  in  accordance  with  the  standards  of  the  Public  Company  Accounting  Oversight  Board  (United  States) 
(PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019 of the Company and our report dated 
May  31,  2019  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  those  consolidated  financial  statements  and  included  an  explanatory  paragraph
related to the Company’s change in method of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers in fiscal year 2019 due to the 
adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of 
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal 
Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a 
public  accounting  firm  registered  with  the  PCAOB  and  are  required  to  be  independent  with  respect  to  the  Company  in  accordance 
with  the  U.S.  federal  securities  laws  and  the  applicable  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  and  the
PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such
other  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances.  We  believe  that  our  audit  provides  a  reasonable  basis  for  our
opinion. 

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  A  company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  includes  those  policies  and  procedures  that  (1)  pertain  to  the 
maintenance  of  records  that,  in  reasonable  detail,  accurately  and  fairly  reflect  the  transactions  and  dispositions  of  the  assets  of  the 
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in 
accordance  with  authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect 
on the financial statements.

y

a

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and Vice President-Finance &
Administration and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of 
our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Based upon, and asd
of  the  date  of  that  evaluation,  our  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Vice  President-Finance  &  Administration  and  Chief
Financial  Officer  concluded  that  the  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  were  effective,  in  all  material  respects,  to  ensure  that 
information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
"Exchange Act"), is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and (ii) is accumulated and communicated 
to  our  management,  including  our  President  and  Chief  Executive  Officer  and  Vice  President-Finance  &  Administration  and  Chief 
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year covered by 
this Annual Report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over 
financial reporting.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is 
defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, 
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our organization have
been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override.  The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain 
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated 
goals under all potential future conditions.  Moreover, over time controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or 
the  degree  of  compliance  with  the  policies  or  procedures  may  deteriorate.    Because  of  the  inherent  limitations  in  the  design  of anf
internal control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.  However, these inherent limitations are
known features of the financial reporting process.  Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not 
eliminate, this risk.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal
executive  officer)  and  Vice  President–Finance  &  Administration  and  Chief  Financial  Officer  (principal  financial  officer),  we 
conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in
Internal Control–Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  
Based on the assessment under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective
as of March 31, 2019.

Opinion on the Financial Statement Schedule

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Graham Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 2019 
and  2018,  and  for  each  of  the  three  years  in  the  period  ended  March  31,  2019,  and  the  Company's  internal  control  over  financial
reporting as of March 31, 2019, and have issued our reports dated May 31, 2019, which expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements and included an explanatory paragraph related to the Company’s change in method of accounting for 
revenue from contracts with customers in fiscal year 2019 due to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue 
from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); such consolidated financial statements and reports are included elsewhere in this Form 
10-K. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of the Company listed in the Index at Item 15. This financial statement 
schedule is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial 
statement schedule based on our audits. In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the financial 
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Forward-Looking Statements
This annual report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are identified by words such as “expects,” “estimates,”
“confidence,” “projects,” “typically,” “outlook,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “appears,” “could,” “opportunities,” “seeking,” “plans,” “aim,” “pursuit,”
“look towards” and other similar words. All statements addressing operating performance, events, or developments that Graham Corporation
expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including but not limited to, expected expansion and growth opportunities within its domestic and
international markets, anticipated revenue, the timing of conversion of backlog to sales, market presence, profit margins, tax rates, foreign
sales operations, its ability to improve cost competitiveness, customer preferences, changes in market conditions in the industries in which it
operates, changes in commodities prices, the effect on its business of volatility in commodities prices, changes in general economic conditions
and customer behavior, forecasts regarding the timing and scope of the economic recovery in its markets, its acquisition and growth strategy,
including the expected sale of Energy Steel & Supply Co., and its operations in China and other international locations, are forward-looking

and uncertainties are more fully described in Graham Corporation’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, included under the heading entitled “Risk Factors.”

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of Graham Corporation’s underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results may vary materially from those currently anticipated.
In addition, undue reliance should not be placed on Graham Corporation’s
forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, Graham Corporation disclaims any obligation to update or publicly announce any
revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained in this annual report.
