Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Webster Industries (“Webster” or the “Company”) is a division of Chelsea Industries, Inc. Chelsea Industries, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CI Holdings Corp. (the “Parent”). Historically, Webster has been included in the consolidated financial statements of CI Holdings Corp. but is reported upon separately herein in connection with its sale to AEP Industries, Inc. as more fully described in Note 2.

The Company manufactures and sells private label and branded plastic food and waste bags and disposable food storage containers. These products are sold to consumers and institutional users through grocery, non-food and institutional channels of distribution, primarily in North America.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of Webster have been prepared from CI Holdings Corp.’s historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis reflecting those certain assets, liabilities, and operations. Webster is an unincorporated business of CI Holdings Corp. and Chelsea Industries, Inc., and, accordingly, the Parent’s net investment in these operations (owner’s net investment) is presented in lieu of stockholder’s equity because a direct ownership relationship did not exist among the various entities comprising Webster during the period presented. The financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows that might have occurred had the operations of Webster been an independent entity not integrated into the Parent’s other operations.

Allocation of Costs from CI Holdings Corp.

The Parent charges Webster for the cost of certain functions that are managed by the Parent and can reasonably be directly attributed to the operations of Webster. These costs include dedicated accounting and professional services support, as well as interest expense and defined benefit pension costs. The charges to Webster are based on the Parent management’s estimate of such services specifically used by Webster. Where determinations based on specific usage alone have been impracticable, other methods and criteria were used that management believes are equitable and provide a reasonable estimate of the cost attributable to Webster. The total of these allocations was approximately $1,884 and $1,816 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively. All interest expense recognized in the accompanying financial statements has been allocated; the remaining allocations were recorded in selling, general and administration expenses. Such allocations are not intended to represent the costs that would be, or would have been, incurred if Webster was an independent business.

On a consolidated basis, the Parent incurred approximately $1,407 and $1,264 in interest expense for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively. Interest expense results from the Parent’s credit facility, related party loans and subordinated debentures. Interest costs of $1,312 and $1,177 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010 have been allocated to Webster.

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Allocation of Costs from CI Holdings Corp. (Continued)

 

The amount of the owner’s net investment included in the balance sheets represents a net investment as the result of various transactions between Webster and the Parent. There are no terms of settlement or inter-entity interest charges associated with the account balance. The balance is primarily a result of Webster’s participation in the Parent’s central cash management program, wherein virtually all of Webster’s cash receipts are remitted to the Parent and all cash disbursements are funded by the Parent.

Fiscal Year

Webster operates on a fifty-two or fifty-three week year ending on the last Saturday in December. The financial statements presented consist of thirty-nine weeks for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method. Cost includes materials, labor and overhead. Market, with respect to all inventories, is the lower of replacement cost or net realizable value. Management periodically reviews inventory to determine the necessity of reserves for excess, obsolete or unsalable inventory.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed principally utilizing the straight-line method over periods ranging from 5 to 35 years for financial reporting purposes.

Property, plant and equipment are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows of those assets. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value. The Company evaluated property, plant and equipment for impairment and determined that there was no impairment at September 24, 2011. See Note 2 for further discussion.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when persuasive evidence of the arrangement exists, goods are shipped and title passes to the customer, pricing is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Accounts receivable allowances are maintained for the Company’s anticipated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments, based upon the Company’s estimates of specific analysis of certain accounts, historical collection experience, current trends and status under the Company’s credit policy. Accounts are considered past due based on payment terms. The Company writes off accounts receivable only after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet exposure related to its customers.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs totaled $5,141 and $4,822 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively. Shipping costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred and such costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses. Advertising expenses approximated $798 and $927 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Parent has elected to be treated as an S Corporation for Federal income tax purposes. Certain of the states in which Webster operates permit S Corporation status for state income tax purposes. Accordingly, neither the Parent nor Webster are obligated for Federal or certain state income taxes. Income and losses are allocated by the Parent to its stockholders who are responsible for the payment of their portion of taxes associated with such income.

The Parent, as an S Corporation electing to be taxed as a pass through entity, has determined that such tax position does not result in an uncertainty requiring recognition. In addition to their tax status, CI Holdings Corp. has other tax positions that have been determined to be highly certain and, therefore, no reserve for unrecognized tax liability is deemed necessary. CI Holdings Corp. has recently completed an examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the year 2009 which resulted in certain routine adjustments which have been reported to its stockholders. State income tax returns are generally open for examination for the past three to four years. The Parent and the Company have adopted a policy to recognize interest and penalties on taxes as income tax expense.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current business factors, and various other assumptions that the Company believes are necessary to consider in order to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company is subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic environmental and political factors and changes in the Company’s business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates. Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Significant estimates and assumptions by management affect, but are not limited to the allowance for doubtful accounts, the carrying value of inventory, the carrying value of long-lived assets, certain accrued expenses, revenue recognition, contingencies, and transactions with the Parent.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through December 26, 2011, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 2 - Sale of the Company and Impairment Loss

On October 14, 2011, substantially all of the assets of the Company along with specified liabilities were sold to AEP Industries, Inc. (“AEP”) for approximately $25,900 subject to a final post closing adjustment based on changes in working capital levels. The financial statements included herein encompass not only those assets and liabilities sold and transferred to AEP, but also certain assets and liabilities not sold or transferred to AEP.

The Company did not record an impairment charge for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010. Subsequent to September 25, 2010, the company continued to experience losses that it did not initially anticipate and losses have continued into 2011. As a result, net asset values at the date of sale were greater than their selling price. The Company recorded an asset impairment charge of $3,881 on its plant and equipment during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 25, 2010. The impairment charge was determined based on a comparison of the fair value of the Company’s fixed assets to their carrying value. In estimating fair value, the income, market and cost approaches were evaluated. A combination of the market and cost methods was used for the valuation of property, plant and equipment. Cost was the primary valuation technique as cost represents the most accurate reflection of these assets’ value to the Company on an ongoing basis. When the cost method could not be used, a market method was employed if cost data was not available.

Note 6 - Borrowings (Continued)

 

The Parent has a fully secured revolving loan facility. The revolving loan agreement provides up to $22,000 of borrowings. All assets of the Parent and Webster are pledged as collateral for this loan, which matured on December 31, 2010.

The revolving loan facility required various financial covenants, substantially all of which were in default at September 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010. Prior to the sale, the Company was operating under the terms of a Forbearance Agreement with its bank. Subsequent to September 24, 2011, the assets of Webster along with specified liabilities were sold to AEP, the proceeds from which were used to repay the revolving loan facility (see Note 2).

The Parent’s borrowings under the facility were governed by advance rates against certain assets.

In connection with the credit facility, the Parent has guaranteed the credit facility of a related party. The borrowings outstanding on the related party’s credit facility were zero at September 24, 2011. Management of the Parent has determined that, based on the performance of the related party, the Parent will not have to perform on the guarantee at September 24, 2011. Additionally, this related party has cross-guaranteed the credit facility of the Parent.

Interest charged based on LIBOR was 4.00% through September 24, 2011 and was 3.50% through September 25, 2010.

The Company has been allocated borrowings, subordinated to the credit facility, from related parties amounting to $10,023 and $9,476 at September 24, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively. Under the terms of these loans, the amounts are due on demand. The Company is prohibited from making payments on these borrowings due to its bank loan defaults. The interest rate provisions are the same as those charged under the credit facility. These loans, along with the 7.0% subordinated debentures remain outstanding subsequent to the sale to AEP.

Additionally, the Company has been allocated outstanding letters of credit under the agreement in the amount of $588 at September 24, 2011 and $632 at December 25, 2010, which remain outstanding subsequent to the sale to AEP.

Allocated payments for interest were $1,312 and $1,177 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively, of which $284 and $365 was attributable to related party indebtedness, respectively.

Note 7 - Pension Plans

Nonunion Webster employees are covered by the Parent’s noncontributory, defined benefit pension plan provided they meet certain eligibility requirements as to age and length of service. Benefits paid to participants are based on years of service and average pay during their seven highest consecutive years of compensation. Contributions are calculated so as to comply with ERISA requirements. Based upon an action by the Parent’s Directors during 2008, the plan was frozen effective March 31, 2009, at which time benefits ceased to accrue. Assets, liabilities and costs of this plan are allocated to Webster based on the participants in the plan who are Webster employees.

Note 7 - Pension Plans (Continued)

 

Certain of Webster’s hourly employees who participate in a collective bargaining agreement are covered by a separate noncontributory defined benefit pension plan. Benefits paid to participants are based on years of service at a rate specified in a collective bargaining agreement.

The combined and allocated components of net periodic benefit costs of the Company’s plans was $153 and $183 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively. The Company contributed approximately $306 to the plans for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and the Company does not expect to make additional contributions for the remainder of the fiscal year.

Note 8 - Other Retirement Plans

The Parent maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all eligible employees, which includes an annual employer elective matching contribution provision for non-union employees. The 401(k) expense totaled $35 and $50 for the nine months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively.

Note 9 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is subject to claims and lawsuits which arise in the ordinary course of business. On the basis of information presently available and advice received from legal counsel representing the Company, the Company believes that the disposition or ultimate determination of such litigation will not be material to its financial condition or results of operations.
