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.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Critical Audit Matter Description

Certain contracts include terms and conditions pursuant to which the Company recognizes revenue upon the completion of production and, at the request of the customer, stores the equipment at the Company's facilities. Under the terms of such contracts, revenue is recorded upon the customer's assumption of title and risk of ownership and when the Company has a present right to payment. In addition, the equipment is segregated from the Company's inventory, specifically identified as belonging to the customer and is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the equipment cannot be used or redirected to another customer. The Company has not retained any specific performance obligations such that the earnings process is not complete prior to revenue recognition.
