FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among others, those contained in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “will” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements, including, but not limited to, the Company’s statements regarding business strategy, competition, new product development, liquidity and capital resources are based on management’s beliefs, as well as on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management, and involve various risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on the Company’s behalf. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will in fact prove to be accurate. The Company has undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Locker Group Incorporated (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements, have been included. Operating results for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its business operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Effect of New Accounting Guidance

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The update requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements the effect of significant amounts of reclassifications from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement lines affected by the reclassification. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Disneyland Concession Agreement

On September 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Disney Agreement”) with Disneyland Resort, a division of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., and Hong Kong International Theme Parks Limited, (collectively referred to as “Disney”) to provide locker services under a concession arrangement. Under the Disney Agreement, the Company installed, operates and maintains electronic lockers at Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California and at Hong Kong Disneyland Park in Hong Kong.

The Company installed approximately 4,300 electronic lockers under the Disney Agreement. The Company retains ownership of the lockers and receives a portion of the revenue generated by the locker operations. The term of the Disney Agreement is five years, with an option to renew for one year at Disney’s option. Operation of the lockers began in late November 2010. The Agreement contains a buyout option at the end of each contract year and a provision to compensate the Company in the event Disney terminates the Agreement without cause.

The Company capitalized its costs related to the Disney Agreement and the Company is depreciating such costs over the five year term of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue for its portion of the revenue as it is collected.

The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was (1.0%) and 19.9%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the difference in the effective income tax rate from the statutory rate is primarily due to an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance offsetting the net operating loss carryforward generated in that period. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the difference in the effective income tax rate from the statutory rate is primarily due to permanent timing differences between expenses recorded for financial and tax reporting, an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, and the reversal of a previously accrued tax provision.

5. Stockholders’ Equity

The Company did not issue any shares of common stock in the first or second quarters of 2013.

6. Pension Benefits

The following sets forth the components of net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted its pension plan for its Canadian employees (the “Canadian Plan”) from a noncontributory defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. Until the conversion, benefits for the salaried employees were based on specified percentages of the employees’ monthly compensation. The conversion of the Canadian Plan has the effect of freezing the accrual of future defined benefits under the plan. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company will contribute 3% of employee compensation plus 50% of employee elective contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5% of employee compensation.

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the Accounting Standards Codification (the “ASC”) requires the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The various values of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the ASC fair value hierarchy are described as follows:

Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value hierarchy of the plan assets are as follows:

 

            June 30, 2013  
            US Plan      Canadian Plan  

Cash and cash equivalents

     Level 1         94,009         11,440

US pension plan assets are invested solely in pooled separate account funds, which are managed by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. The net asset values (“NAV”) are based on the value of the underlying assets owned by the fund, minus its liabilities, and then divided by the number of units outstanding. The NAV’s unit price of the pooled separate accounts is not quoted on any market; however, the unit price is based on the underlying investments which are traded in an active market and are priced by independent providers. There have been no significant transfers in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 fair value measurements.

For additional information on the defined benefit pension plans, please refer to Note 10 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company had 12,000 stock options outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were not included in the common share computation for loss per share, as the common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.

8. Debt

On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America Merrill Lynch (“BAML”), pursuant to which the Company obtained a $1 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $2.5 million revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). On November 4, 2011, the Company and BAML amended the Loan Agreement to include the addition of a $500,000 draw note (the “Draw Note”). On November 9, 2012, the Company and BAML amended the Loan Agreement to extend availability under the Draw Note and the maturity date of the Line of Credit to October 31, 2013.

 

12


Table of Contents

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund the Company’s investment in lockers used in the Disney Agreement. Borrowings under the Line of Credit have been and will be used primarily for working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for general corporate purposes. The Draw Note is to be used to fund the Company’s investment in future concession contracts.

Monthly payments on the Term Loan, consisting of $16,667 in principal plus accrued interest, began in 2011. The entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan is due on December 8, 2015. As of June 30, 2013, the Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $500,000.

The Company can draw up to $500,000 on the Draw Note before October 31, 2013. The Company will pay interest only on the Draw Note through November 27, 2013, after which the Company will pay interest and principal so that the balance will be paid in full as of October 31, 2016. As of June 30, 2013, the Draw Note had an outstanding principal balance of $150,000.

The Company can borrow and repay principal under the Line of Credit from time to time during its term, but the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit may not exceed the lesser of the borrowing base or $2,500,000. For purposes of the Line of Credit, “borrowing base” is calculated by multiplying eligible accounts receivable of the Company by 80% and eligible raw material and finished goods inventory by 50%. As of June 30, 2013, the Line of Credit had an outstanding principal balance of $1,520,000.

The outstanding principal balances of the Line of Credit, the Draw Note and the Term Loan bear interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 375 basis points (3.75%). Accrued interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit are due monthly, and all outstanding principal payments under the Line of Credit, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due at maturity, or October 31, 2013.

The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment pursuant to a security agreement. Subject to BAML’s consent, the Company is prohibited from incurring or assuming additional debt and from permitting liens to be placed upon any of its property, assets or revenues, except in certain limited circumstances. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from entering into certain transactions, including a merger or consolidation, without BAML’s consent.

The Loan Agreement contains certain covenants with which the Company must comply, including a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were not in compliance with either covenant. Pursuant to terms of the Loan Agreement, in May 2013, management disclosed to BAML the first quarter covenant violation and the probability of the second quarter covenant violation. In connection with the first quarter covenant violation and probable second quarter covenant violation, BAML issued to the Company a notice of default and reservation of rights letter in which BAML notified the Company that it reserves any and all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement. While the covenant violations have not been waived by BAML as of the date of this report, based on discussions and correspondence with BAML, management expects BAML to execute a forbearance agreement with the Company which, among other things, will reflect covenants with which the Company would be in compliance for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. However, we can give no assurance that a forbearance agreement or covenant waiver of any kind will be executed. Accordingly, the Company has classified all outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013.

If we are unable to obtain a waiver from BAML or execute a forbearance agreement for the covenant violations described herein, BAML could demand payment of all balances outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In the event of such occurrence, we would proactively seek financing through lending arrangements with banks or other lenders to replace the financing currently in place with BAML. We believe we would be able to secure replacement financing in a reasonable period of time, though we can give no assurances of such and, if we were able to secure such financing, we can give no assurances that we would be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms. The inability to secure replacement financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue operations.

9. Restructuring

In 2009, the Company restructured its business operations to streamline its cost structure. The restructuring included plans for the relocation and consolidation of its Ellicottville, New York operations into its Texas facility. This planned relocation resulted in certain severance and payroll expenses. The balance remaining of such accrued restructuring expenses included in Other accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013 was $13,500, and the Company expects to make such payments before the end of fiscal year 2013.

In 2012, the Company commenced the Ellicottville relocation, resulting in the realization of expense for discontinued inventory, severance and professional fees to complete the move. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring charge in 2012 of approximately $283,900. Of this amount, $89,000 was recorded as an increase to the inventory reserve and is included in Inventory, net in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

In July 2001, the Company received a letter from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”) advising the Company that it is a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) with respect to environmental contamination at, and alleged migration from, property located in Gowanda, New York which was sold by the Company to Gowanda Electronics Corporation prior to 1980. In March 2001, the NYSDEC issued a Record of Decision with respect to the Gowanda site in which it set forth a remedy including continued operation of an existing extraction well and air stripper, installation of groundwater pumping wells and a collection trench, construction of a treatment system in a separate building on the site, installation of a reactive iron wall covering 250 linear feet, which is intended to intercept any contaminates and implementation of an on-going monitoring system. The NYSDEC has estimated that its selected remediation plan will cost approximately $688,000 for initial construction and a total of $1,997,000 with respect to expected operation and maintenance expenses over a 30-year period after completion of initial construction. The Company has not conceded to the NYSDEC that the Company is liable with respect to this matter and has not agreed with the NYSDEC that the remediation plan selected by NYSDEC is the most appropriate plan. At the present time the Company has only been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”). The Company also believes that other parties may have been identified by the NYSDEC as PRPs, and the allocation of financial responsibility of such parties has not been determined. To the Company’s knowledge, the NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remediation plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. The Company’s primary insurance carrier has assumed the cost of the Company’s defense in this matter, subject to a reservation of rights.

Beginning in September 1998 and continuing through the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 234 cases pending in state court in Massachusetts and 1 in the state of Washington. The plaintiffs in each case assert that a division of the Company manufactured and furnished components containing asbestos to a shipyard during the period from 1948 to 1972 and that injury resulted from exposure to such products. The assets of this division were sold by the Company in 1973. During the process of discovery in certain of these actions, documents from sources outside the Company have been produced which indicate that the Company appears to have been included in the chain of title for certain wall panels which contained asbestos and which were delivered to the Massachusetts shipyards. Defense of these cases has been assumed by the Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights. Settlement agreements have been entered in approximately 35 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 167 cases have been terminated as to the Company without liability to the Company under Massachusetts procedural rules. Therefore, the balance of unresolved cases against the Company as of March 25, 2013, the most recent date information is available, is approximately 32 cases.

While the Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict what the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases may be because the discovery proceedings on the cases are not complete, based upon the Company’s experience to date with similar cases, as well as the assumption that insurance coverage will continue to be provided with respect to these cases, at the present time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these cases will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.

11. Legal Matters

On February 5, 2013, the Company was notified by one of its customers that certain product purchased by that customer had quality issues. On March 11, 2013, the Company and the customer entered into an agreement whereby the Company will reimburse the customer for reasonable costs and expenses incurred on or before December 31, 2013 by the customer in its efforts to resolve the quality issue. At December 31, 2012 and May 31, 2013, the Company recorded a liability and expense of $50,000 and approximately $102,000, respectively, for estimated costs to be reimbursed to the customer pursuant to the terms of the agreement. As of June 30, 2013, the balance of this liability, which is included in accounts payable, was approximately $10,000. The Company has no current obligation to reimburse the customer for costs incurred after December 31, 2013 and has in place liability coverage for third-party injury and property damage that might occur as a result of the product’s quality issue.

In February 2013, a customer brought legal action against the Company alleging the Company defaulted on its obligations and failed to perform pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into with the Company in February 2012. The customer sought to recover its damages in an unspecified sum and liquidated damages in the amount of $50,000 as well as costs and fees. In April 2013, the customer and the Company agreed to a settlement of the customer’s claims pursuant to which the Company will pay to the customer an aggregate amount of $30,000. Under terms of the settlement agreement, the Company will make five monthly payments of $6,000 to the customer which began May 1, 2013. At March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an expense of $30,000 related to this settlement, of which $18,000 remained unpaid and outstanding and is included in accrued settlement as of June 30, 2013.

In March 2012, the Company was named as a defendant in a legal action brought by a competitor (which was also a former customer and supplier) who alleged that the Company and certain other third-party defendants profited improperly from the use of intellectual property developed by the competitor. The Company had consistently believed that the asserted claims were without merit and that the Company’s chances of prevailing without material liability were high. However, due largely to the increasing costs of the ongoing litigation, the Company and the plaintiff entered into a settlement agreement effective as of June 12, 2013 (the “Settlement Agreement”). Pursuant to terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties agreed, among other things, that the Company would pay to the plaintiff all outstanding invoices due to the plaintiff as of the date of the settlement, net of existing amounts due to the Company from the plaintiff, and would pay license, service and other fees to the plaintiff in return for the plaintiff’s providing maintenance services on lockers distributed to certain of the Company’s customers. At March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $412,000 related to the settlement. Of this amount, approximately $377,000 was recorded as accrued settlement and approximately $35,000 was included in other accrued expenses at March 31, 2013. The Company will pay amounts due to the plaintiff under the terms of the Settlement Agreement over a minimum period of 29 months which began June 1, 2013.

The Company is involved in other claims and litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe these matters will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.

12. Subsequent Event

On August 8, 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain real property located in Ellicottville, New York pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 7, 2013 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between American Locker Security Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Michael Young. Mr. Young purchased the real property for total consideration of $212,500.00. The property sold consisted of an approximately 12,800 square foot building. The sale of this property concluded the Ellicottville relocation that had commenced in 2012 and is discussed more fully in Note 9.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Business Overview

The Company is a leading manufacturer of lockers and lock and key systems with a wide-range of applications for use in numerous industries. The Company is best known for manufacturing and servicing the widely-utilized key and lock system with the iconic plastic orange cap. The Company serves customers in a variety of industries in all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia and South America. Most of the Company’s lockers systems are key-controlled checking lockers and these locker systems are frequently provided under a concession arrangement by which the Company retains ownership of the lockers and receives a portion of the revenue generated by the locker operations.

The Company manufactures mailboxes that are used for the delivery of mail, packages and other parcels to multi-tenant facilities. The Company manufactures United States Postal Service (“USPS”) approved multi-tenant mailboxes that are typically installed in apartment buildings, commercial buildings and on college/university campuses. The Company also sells mailbox units to customers that offer mailbox rental services.

In addition to its mailbox and locker system operations, the Company offers contract manufacturing services for customers. Contract manufacturing includes precision sheet metal fabrication of metal furniture, electrical enclosures and other metal products for third party customers.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Overall Results and Outlook

Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2013 increased by $843,914 to $7,242,772 as compared to the first six months of 2012, representing a 13.2% increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in mailbox and contract manufacturing revenue partially offset by a slight decrease in locker revenue. Pre-tax operating results declined to a pre-tax loss of $1,264,229 for

the first six months of 2013 from pre-tax loss of $286,798 for the first six months of 2012. After-tax operating results declined to a net loss of $1,276,614 for the first six months of 2013 from a net loss of $229,822 for the first six months of 2012. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) was $(0.76) in the first six months of 2013, a $0.62 decline from a net loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.14 for the first six months of 2012.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $7,242,772, an increase of $843,914, or 13.2%, compared to net sales of $6,398,858 for the same period of 2012. Sales of lockers for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $4,184,320, a decrease of $118,894, or 2.8%, compared to locker sales of $4,303,214 for the same period of 2012.

Sales of mailboxes were $1,592,033 for the six months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $675,005, or 73.6%, compared to mailbox sales of $917,028 for the same period of 2012. Increased mailbox sales in the first six months of 2013 were primarily the result of increased sales to customers that offer mailbox rental services and increased sales of mailbox units to colleges and universities.

Sales of contract manufacturing services were $810,904 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $526,552 for the same period of 2012, representing an increase of $284,352, or 54.0%. Contract manufacturing includes precision sheet metal fabrication of metal furniture, electrical enclosures and other metal products for third party customers. The Company has focused its recent contract manufacturing efforts on selling electrical enclosures and components to Fortune 1000 customers, allowing us to benefit from the trend of bringing the manufacture of such items, previously manufactured overseas, back to the U.S. The increase in contract manufacturing revenues through the first six months of 2013 is directly attributable to the Company’s efforts to aggressively grow this segment of our business.

Concession revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $655,515, a modest increase of $3,451 or 0.5% from concession revenues of $652,064 for the same period of 2012.

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,754,451, or 24.2% of net sales, compared to $1,956,524, or 30.6% of net sales, for the same period of 2012, a decrease of $202,073, or 10.3%. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased from 2012 primarily due to (1) the fulfillment of two large sales orders at competitive, lower-margin pricing in the first quarter of 2013, (2) the increase in contract manufacturing revenue, which yielded slightly lower margins than other product sales, and (3) higher direct concession costs in the first six months of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $2,518,784 or 34.8% of net sales, compared to $1,954,084 or 30.5% of net sales for the same period of 2012, an increase of $564,700, or 28.9%. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to a general increase in administrative costs associated with the growth in our business as well as (1) increased legal expenses of approximately $231,000 incurred in connection with the legal matters described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, (2) increased general expense of approximately $102,000 for costs reimbursed to a customer to resolve a quality issue, which is more fully described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and (3) increased public company expenses of approximately $87,000 related primarily to increased SEC filing expenses and audit fees.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $54,806, a decrease of $1,984, or 3.5%, compared to interest expense of $56,790 for the same period of 2012. This decrease is primarily due to reduced amounts of loan origination fees amortized to interest expense and a slight decrease in interest rates on our outstanding debt in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by an increase resulting from increased debt balances in the second quarter of 2013.

Settlement Expense

In February 2013, a customer brought legal action against the Company alleging the Company defaulted on its obligations and failed to perform pursuant to the terms of a written agreement entered into with the Company in February 2012. In April 2013, the customer and the Company agreed to a settlement of the customer’s claims in which the Company will pay to the customer an aggregate amount of $30,000. At March 31, 2013, the Company recorded expense of $30,000 related to this settlement. In March 2012, the Company was named as a defendant in a legal action brought by a competitor (which was also a former customer and supplier). In May 2013, the Company and the plaintiff agreed to a settlement of the plaintiff’s claims. At June 30, 2013, the Company recorded an expense of approximately $412,000 related to the settlement. These settlements are more fully described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Income Taxes

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $12,385, compared to an income tax benefit of $56,976 for the same period of 2012. The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately (1.0)% and 19.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In the first six months of 2013, the effective income tax rate differs significantly from the statutory rate primarily due to an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $463,617, as well as permanent timing differences between expenses recorded for financial and tax reporting. During the first six months of 2012, certain statutes of limitations expired resulting in a tax benefit of $69,791 being recorded from reversing a previously accrued tax provision.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

Overall Results

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2013 reflect an increase in net sales of $956,508 to $4,088,285 when compared to net sales of $3,131,777 for the same period of 2012, representing a 30.5% increase. Pre-tax operating results declined to a pre-tax loss of $254,539 for the second quarter of 2013 from a pre-tax loss of $138,417 for the second quarter of 2012. After-tax operating results declined to net loss of $262,984 for the second quarter of 2013 from a net loss of $144,604 for the second quarter of 2012. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) was $0.16 in the second quarter of 2013, a decline from a net loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.09 for the second quarter of 2012.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $4,088,285, an increase of $956,508, or 30.5%, compared to net sales of $3,131,777 for the same period of 2012. Sales of lockers for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $2,302,409, an increase of $319,940, or 16.1%, compared to sales of $1,982,469 for the same period of 2012. The increase in locker sales is primarily attributable to the introduction and sale of a new parcel packaging locker system in the second quarter of 2013.

Sales of mailboxes were $815,297 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $335,771, or 70.0%, compared to sales of $479,526 for the same period of 2012. Increased mailbox sales in the second quarter of 2013 were primarily the result of increased sales to customers that offer mailbox rental services and increased sales of mailbox units to colleges and universities.

Sales of contract manufacturing services were $645,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $315,110, or 95.3%, compared to sales of $330,729 for the same period of 2012. The increase in contract manufacturing revenues in the second quarter of 2013 is directly attributable to the Company’s recent efforts to aggressively grow this segment of our business.

Concession revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $324,740, a decrease of $14,313 or 4.2% from concession revenues of $339,053 for the same period of 2012.

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,157,235, or 28.3% of net sales, compared to $1,032,150, or 33.0% of net sales, for the same period of 2012, an increase of $125,085, or 12.1%. Gross margin as a percentage of net sales decreased from 2012 primarily due to (1) the increase in contract manufacturing revenue, which yielded slightly lower margins than other product sales, and (2) higher direct concession costs in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of 2012.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased $443,887, or 48.3%, to $1,363,289 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $919,402 for the same period of 2012. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 33.3% in the second quarter of 2013 compared to 29.4% in the second quarter of 2012. The increase in SG&A expenses in 2013 was primarily due to a general increase in administrative costs associated with the growth in our business as well as (1) increased legal expenses of approximately $111,000 incurred in connection with the legal matters described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, (2) increased general expense of approximately $102,000 for costs reimbursed to a customer to resolve a quality issue, which is more fully described in Note 11 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, and (3) increased public company expenses of approximately $48,000 related primarily to increased SEC filing expenses and audit fees.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $28,083, a slight increase of $53, or 0.2%, compared to interest expense of $28,030 for the same period of 2012. This increase is primarily due to higher debt balances in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, partially offset by reduced amounts of loan origination fees amortized to interest expense and a slight decrease in interest rates on our outstanding debt in the second quarter of 2013.

Income Taxes

For the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of $8,445 compared to income tax expense of $6,187 for the same period of 2012. The Company’s effective income tax rate was approximately (3.3%) and (4.5%) in the second quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively. In both periods, the effective income tax rate differs significantly from the statutory rate primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance as well as permanent timing differences between expenses recorded for financial and tax reporting.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure – Adjusted EBITDA

The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial performance measure, because management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of this measure will enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business, evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other companies, and evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from other companies’ computation. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings or net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as, and should not be considered as, an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:

 

   

Does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

 

   

Does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

 

   

Does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;

 

   

Excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in available cash;

 

   

Excludes non-cash equity-based compensation;

 

   

Does not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future; and

 

   

Excludes certain one-time, non-recurring expenses.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company’s liquidity is reflected by its current ratio, which is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, and its working capital, which is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. These measures of liquidity were as follows:

 

     As of June 30,
2013
     As of December 31,
2012
 

Current Ratio

     1.08         1.36   

Working Capital

   $ 447,768       $ 1,592,880   

The Company’s capital expenditures approximated $51,000 and $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include cash flows generated by our operations and borrowing under the Line of Credit and available Draw Note. Uses of cash in fiscal year 2013 include funds required to support the Company’s operating activities, including expected growth of our contract manufacturing business, capital expenditures, payments on long-term debt and contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. The Company has managed, and expects to continue managing, its liquidity position in 2013 by maintaining an intense focus on controlling expenses and capital expenditures, continuing the Company’s implementation of LEAN manufacturing processes and more efficient inventory management through better planning of lead-time purchasing and safety stock levels.

The Loan Agreement contains certain covenants with which the Company must comply, including a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were not in compliance with either covenant. Pursuant to terms of the Loan Agreement, in May 2013, management disclosed to BAML the first quarter covenant violation and the probability of the second quarter covenant violation. In connection with the first quarter covenant violation and

 

19


Table of Contents

probable second quarter covenant violation, BAML issued to the Company a notice of default and reservation of rights letter in which BAML notified the Company that it reserves any and all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement. While the covenant violations have not been waived by BAML as of the date of this report, based on discussions and correspondence with BAML, management expects BAML to execute a forbearance agreement with the Company which, among other things, will reflect covenants with which the Company would be in compliance for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. However, we can give no assurance that any such forbearance agreement or covenant waiver of any kind will be executed. Accordingly, the Company has classified all outstanding debt under the Loan Agreement as current in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2013. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from BAML or execute a forbearance agreement to reflect covenants with which we would be in compliance for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, BAML could demand payment of all balances outstanding under the Loan Agreement. In the event of such occurrence, we would proactively seek financing through lending arrangements with banks or other lenders to replace the financing currently in place with BAML. We believe we would be able to secure replacement financing in a reasonable period of time, though we can give no assurances of such and, if we were able to secure such financing, we can give no assurances that we would be able to do so on commercially reasonable terms. The inability to secure replacement financing would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to continue operations.

If we are able to obtain a waiver of the covenant violations described herein from BAML or execute a forbearance agreement to reflect covenants with which we can comply, we believe our financing arrangements under the Loan Agreement and cash flows generated by our operations will provide sufficient capital resources to support the working capital and capital expenditure requirements of our operations for the remainder of 2013.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company.

Effect of New Accounting Guidance

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The update requires companies to present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements the effect of significant amounts of reclassifications from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source and the income statement lines affected by the reclassification. For public entities, the amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Raw Materials

The Company does not have any long-term commitments for the purchase of raw materials. With respect to its products that use steel and aluminum, the Company expects that any raw material price changes would be reflected in adjusted sales prices. The Company believes that the risk of supply interruptions due to such matters as strikes at the source of supply or to logistics systems is limited. Present sources of supplies and raw materials incorporated into the Company’s products are generally considered to be adequate and are currently available in the marketplace.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s Canadian and Hong Kong operations subject the Company to foreign currency risk, though it is not considered a significant risk since the foreign operations’ net assets represented only 18.8% of the Company’s aggregate net assets at June 30, 2013. Presently, management does not hedge its foreign currency risk.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2013. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2013 were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, to ensure that (a) material information relating to the Company is accumulated and made known to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to the information set forth under the caption “Legal Matters” in Note 11 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part I - Item 1 - Financial Statements.”

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

The Loan Agreement contains certain covenants with which the Company must comply, including a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt-to-EBITDA ratio. For the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, we were not in compliance with either covenant. Pursuant to terms of the Loan Agreement, in May 2013, management disclosed to BAML the first quarter covenant violation and the probability of the second quarter covenant violation. In connection with the first quarter covenant violation and probable second quarter covenant violation, BAML issued to the Company a notice of default and reservation of rights letter in which BAML notified the Company that it reserves any and all of the rights and remedies available to it under the Loan Agreement. While the covenant violations have not been waived by BAML as of the date of this report, based on discussions and correspondence with BAML, management expects BAML to execute a forbearance agreement with the Company which, among other things, will reflect covenants with which the Company would be in compliance for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013. However, we can give no assurance that any such forbearance agreement or covenant waiver of any kind will be executed. If we are unable to obtain a waiver from BAML or execute a forbearance agreement to reflect covenants with which we would be in compliance for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2013, BAML could demand payment of all balances outstanding under the Loan Agreement.

 

Item 5. Other Information.

The following disclosure would otherwise be filed on Form 8-K under the heading “Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.”

On August 8, 2013, the Company completed the sale of certain real property located in Ellicottville, New York pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 7, 2013 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between American Locker Security Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Michael Young. Mr. Young purchased the real property for total consideration of $212,500.00. The property sold consisted of an approximately 12,800 square foot building located at 16 Martha Street, Ellicottville, New York. There are no material relationships between the Company and Mr. Young, other than with respect to the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
