Independent Auditors’ Report

 

The Board of Directors
Haas Group Inc.:

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Haas Group Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 



 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Haas Group Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

HAAS GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

(1)       Description of Business, and Basis of Presentation

 

Haas Group Inc. (the Company), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on December 13, 2007 for the purposes of acquiring all of the outstanding shares of Haas TCM, Inc. The acquisition was financed through equity investments by The Resolute Fund, L.P. (Resolute) and the Company’s management as well as a $55,000,000 term loan and $30,000,000 of mezzanine financing to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Such borrowings are guaranteed by the Company and all of its U.S. wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

The Company provides chemical management services and chemical distribution, including the purchase and resale of product, to major manufacturers throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Israel, Europe, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and China. The Company provides such services to several major industries including automotive, electronics, aerospace, defense, utilities, food and beverage, and governmental agencies.

 

(2)       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

 

(a)       Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Haas Group Inc. and subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. When the Company does not have a controlling interest in an entity, but exerts significant influence over the entity, the Company applies the equity method of accounting.

 

(b)       Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in the period in which services are provided pursuant to the terms of its contractual relationships with its clients or when products are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes risk of loss, collection of the related receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sales price is fixed or determinable. Certain of the Company’s contractual relationships with its clients provide for incentives or disincentives based on certain performance criteria. Revenues and expenses in relation to such provisions are recognized in the period in which performance criteria are met or when such disincentives are probable. All revenue is recorded net of any sales or transaction tax assessed.

 

(c)        Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company’s cash equivalents consisted of overnight deposits with major banks and overnight investments in money market fund investments as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. No collateral or other security is provided on these deposits, other than that provided by law.

 

(d)       Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Past-due balances over 90 days are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company has recorded an allowance against its trade accounts receivable of $856,000 and $916,000, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, for estimated uncollectible trade receivables

and related credits to be issued to customers. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical loss adjusted to take into account current market conditions, customer financial condition, amounts in dispute, and aging and current payment patterns. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers.

 

(e)        Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out method) or market and primarily represent chemicals and supplies sold to customers as part of the chemical management services and distribution. Costs associated with the procurement and warehousing of inventories, such as inbound freight charges are included in cost of goods sold within the consolidated statements of operations.

 

(f)        Investment in Affiliated Companies

 

The Company holds a 45% ownership interest in Haas FineChem (Shanghai) Company Ltd. and a 49% ownership interest in AVIC Haas Chemical both located in China. Both of these entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

 

(g)       Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets are stated at cost. Depreciation on fixed assets is calculated primarily on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of fixed assets are primarily 3 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Total depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $4,998,000 and $2,974,000, respectively.

 

(h)       Long-lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, and purchased intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying value. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Long-lived assets that are not amortized are evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis and more frequently if circumstances exist that warrant reevaluation.

 

(i)        Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a purchase business combination. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually. The goodwill impairment test is a two-step test. Under the first step, the fair value of the Company is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill). Fair value of the Company is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis. If the fair value of the Company exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed. If the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying value, an indication

of goodwill impairment exists for the Company and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement). Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the Company’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of goodwill.

 

The Company performs its annual impairment review of goodwill at December 31, and when a triggering event occurs between annual impairment tests. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company performed a qualitative analysis. No impairments were recorded in either 2013 or 2012.

 

(j)        Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities, and are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 

The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. It is the Company’s policy to record interest related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of interest expense and penalties as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses.

 

(k)       Foreign Currency Translation

 

The accounts of most foreign subsidiaries and affiliates are measured using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and income and expense accounts are translated at average daily exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity and are not tax effected as the Company has determined its foreign subsidiaries represent permanent investments. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, a loss of $381,000 and gain of $599,000 were recognized, respectively.

 

(l)        Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements,

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

 

·          Level 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

 

·          Level 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

 

·          Level 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

 

(m)      Fair Value Option

 

Under the Fair Value Option Subsections of FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments — Overall, the Company has the irrevocable option to report most financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The Company has elected not to fair value any items under this guidance.

 

(n)       Stock Option Plan

 

The Company recognizes all employee stock-based compensation as a cost in the financial statements. Equity-classified awards are measured at the grant-date fair value of the award. The Company estimates grant-date fair value using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model.

 

(o)       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

 

(p)       Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives and recoverability of fixed assets; allowances for doubtful accounts; allowance for inventory obsolescence; recoverability of deferred tax assets; valuation of investments and intangible assets; income tax uncertainties; and other contingencies. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in those estimates and assumptions.

New Term Loan

 

On April 16, 2013, the Company refinanced all of its existing debt. The Company entered into a New Term Loan agreement for a total principal amount of $180,000,000, which was scheduled to mature on April 16, 2019. This New Term Loan was used to repay, in full, all outstanding amounts on the existing Term Loans, the committed Domestic Line of Credit, the committed Multicurrency Line of Credit, and the Mezzanine Note. The remainder of the proceeds were used to redeem all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares and to pay dividends on the Series A, B, C and D Preferred Shares, see note 7. Principal payments on the New Term Loan, in the amount of $450,000, were due quarterly through March 31, 2019 with the remaining principal of $169,200,000 due at maturity. Interest on the New Term Loan is calculated at the Company’s

option of a base rate (higher of prime or overnight federal funds rate) or the Euro rate, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25%, plus a margin rate of 3.5% or 4.5%, respectively, per annum. The New Term Loan requires the Company to maintain compliance with selected financial and nonfinancial covenants.

 

New Committed Lines of Credit

 

On April 16, 2013, the Company entered into two New Committed Lines of Credit totaling $30,000,000, which includes a $20,000,000 U.S. dollar facility and a $10,000,000 U.S. dollar equivalent multicurrency facility under which the Company can borrow in pounds sterling, euros, or U.S. dollars. The New Committed Lines of Credit were scheduled to expire on April 16, 2018. There was nothing outstanding on the New Committed Lines of Credit as of December 31, 2013.

 

The New Term Loan and New Committed Lines of Credit are, collectively, the Senior Credit Facilities, and are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in all equity securities of Haas Holdings, Inc., subject to certain limitations, and a first priority perfected security interest in all of the Company’s other tangible and intangible assets. The Mezzanine Note is guaranteed by Haas Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on an unsecured senior subordinated basis.

 

The aggregate maturities of debt for each of the five years subsequent to December 31, 2013 were as follows:

Annual amortization expense of costs associated with the 2013 debt instruments was expected to approximate $592,000 per annum through December 31, 2019.

 

2012 Debt Instruments

 

Term Loan

 

Haas Holdings, Inc. had a Term Loan, which was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2014. Principal payments on the Term Loan in the amount of $137,500 were due quarterly through September 30, 2014 with the remaining principal of $51,287,500 due at maturity. On February 1, 2012, the Company paid down the outstanding balance of its Domestic Line of Credit with proceeds from a new $20,000,000 term loan (the 2012 Term Loan). Principal payments on the 2012 Term Loan in the amount of $50,000 were due quarterly through September 30, 2014 with the remaining principal of $19,450,000 due at maturity on December 30, 2014. Interest on both the Term Loan and the 2012 Term Loan was calculated at the Company’s option of a base rate (higher of prime or overnight federal funds rate) or the euro rate plus a

margin rate of 2.75% or 3.75%, respectively, per annum. Both Term Loans required the Company to maintain compliance with selected financial and nonfinancial covenants. The 2012 Term Loan was repaid by the Company on April 16, 2013.

 

Mezzanine Note

 

Haas Holdings, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a Mezzanine Note, which was scheduled to mature on December 31, 2015. All principal on the Mezzanine Note was required to be repaid on the maturity date. Interest on the Mezzanine Note was fixed at 14.25% per annum and was payable semiannually. The Company, at its option, was able to pay up to 2.25% per annum of interest by capitalizing it to additional principal outstanding on the Mezzanine Note. The Mezzanine Note was redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company. The Mezzanine Note required the Company to maintain compliance with selected financial and nonfinancial covenants. The Mezzanine Note was repaid by the Company on April 16, 2013.

 

Lines of Credit

 

On February 1, 2012, the Company converted its $25,000,000 Committed Line of Credit into a $15,000,000 U.S. dollar facility and a $10,000,000 U.S. dollar equivalent multicurrency facility in which the Company could borrow in pounds sterling, euros, or U.S. dollars. The Committed Lines of Credit were scheduled to expire in December 2014. Interest on the Lines of Credit was calculated at the option of a base rate (higher of prime or overnight federal funds rate) or the Euro dollar rate plus a margin rate of 2.75% or 3.75%, respectively, per annum. The Lines of Credit also provided for a commitment fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 0.5% of the daily undrawn amounts under the Lines of Credit. During 2013, the maximum borrowing under the Domestic Line of Credit was $7,880,000 and the maximum borrowing on the Multicurrency Line of Credit was $8,108,000. The Lines of Credit were repaid and terminated by the Company on April 16, 2013.

 

The Company maintained a line of credit in the United Kingdom, which renewed annually. On February 1, 2012, the Company repaid the line of credit in full and terminated the arrangement.

 

(6)                     Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities approximated their carrying values.

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments represent management’s best estimates of the amounts that would be received to sell those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at that date. Those fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by the Company based on the best information available in the circumstances.

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

 

·                               Cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable: The carrying amounts, at face value or cost plus accrued interest, approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.

 

·                               Long-term debt: The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect, among other things, market interest rates and the Company’s credit standing. In determining an appropriate spread to reflect its credit standing, the Company considers interest rates currently offered by the Company’s bankers as well as other banks that regularly compete to provide financing to the Company. The Company’s long-term debt is measured using Level 2 inputs. Based on the Company’s recent refinance transactions, which included a competitive bidding process by banks that regularly compete for the Company’s business, the carrying amount of debt approximates fair value.

 

(7)                     Shareholders’ Investment

 

Series C Preferred Shares and Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

During October 2009, the Company completed the issuance of 15,000 Series C 15% cumulative preferred shares with a par value of $0.001 per share and 957 common stock purchase warrants (Warrants) exercisable into one share of the Company’s common stock within 10 years of issuance at $0.001 per share for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $14,600,000. The Warrants also contain a fixed net-stock exercise feature based on the $0.001 per share exercise price and are detached from the Series C preferred. Both the Series C Preferred and the Warrants are subject to the terms of the Management Subscription and Shareholder Agreement. Proceeds of the issuance were allocated between the Series C Preferred and the Warrants on a relative fair value basis. The relative fair value of the Warrants at the time of the issuance was approximately $1,257,000, which was based on an option pricing model utilizing various assumptions including expected life of 7 years and a volatility of 40%. There were 954 Warrants outstanding at both December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

On April 16, 2013, a Board of Directors Resolution redeemed all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares for a redemption price of $1,000 per share and paid all cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares. At the time of redemption, there were 14,945 Series C Preferred Shares outstanding with unpaid, cumulative dividends of $9,891,000. The associated Warrants remain outstanding.

Series D Preferred Shares Issuance

 

On October 25, 2012, the Company completed the issuance of 3,200 Series D 10% cumulative preferred shares with a par value of $0.001. Dividends accrue and compound semiannually in arrears, whether or not declared or paid. The shares are mandatorily redeemable only upon a change in control of the Company. The shares may be redeemed at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time without penalty. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to be paid, in cash, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price. There are no voting rights associated with the Series D Preferred Shares.

 

(a)                      Dividends

 

The Company’s Series A, B, C, and D preferred shares (collectively, the Preferred Shares) are entitled to accrue and receive, when, as, and if declared by the boards of directors, cumulative annual dividends per share equal to 10%, 10%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, of the $1,000 Base Amount (the Base Amount) per share. Dividends shall accrue and compound semiannually in arrears, whether or not declared or paid, and regardless of whether there are profits, surpluses, or other funds available for payment and shall be payable in full, in cash, when the Preferred Shares are redeemed. Holders of the Company’s common stock may receive dividends, from assets of the Company legally available for transfer, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the total cumulative Preferred Share dividends in arrears were as follows:

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

As the Company did not have sufficient retained earnings on April 16, 2013 to pay these dividends, $13,278,000 of the Preferred Share dividends was recorded as a distribution of retained earnings and the remainder was recorded as a distribution of additional paid-in capital.

 

(b)                      Redemption

 

The Preferred Shares are mandatorily redeemable only upon a change in control of the Company. Preferred Shares may be redeemed, at the option of the Company, in whole or in part at any time without penalty at a redemption price per share equal to the Base Amount plus an amount in cash equal to all cumulative dividends in arrears (the Redemption Price). If less than all of the outstanding Preferred Shares are to be redeemed, such shares shall be redeemed in order of liquidation preference at a pro rata amount to all of the holders of the Preferred Shares on the basis of their respective Redemption Prices. The Company may not directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, or otherwise acquire any junior Company equity securities unless all of the then outstanding Preferred Shares have been or are contemporaneously redeemed at the Redemption Price, provided, however, the Company may repurchase equity securities held by employees in connection with death, disability, or termination of employment.

(c)                       Liquidation Preference

 

In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Preferred Shares shall be entitled to be paid, in cash, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to the aggregate Redemption Price. Holders of common shares are junior to holders of Preferred Shares and shall be entitled to the distribution of any remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after all Preferred Shareholders are paid.

 

(d)                      Voting Rights

 

Holders of the Company’s issued and outstanding Preferred Shares have no voting rights, except as required by law. Holders of the Company’s common shares are entitled to one vote per share.

The MSSA provides that the Company may, at its option, repurchase at the lesser of cost or the then-current fair market value, all Company equity securities held, including Warrants, by a Management Investor upon termination of employment dependent upon reason for termination, and time period such equity securities were held. Repurchases of Company equity securities from Management Investors are payable in either cash or three-year junior notes or a combination thereof, at the option of the Company. The Company is required to notify the Management Investor of its repurchase intention within six months of the termination date or the date the Company’s repurchase rights expire. The MSSA provides restrictions on the transfer of equity securities to other than permitted transferees, as defined in the MSSA. The MSSA also provides for a “Drag-Along” provision whereby if at least a majority of the Company’s shareholders approve a bona fide proposal to transfer all of the Company’s outstanding equity securities to a third party, all shareholders are required to approve the transaction.

 

Provided the Management Investors hold at least 9% of the Company’s outstanding equity securities, the Management Investors are permitted to elect two of the Company’s board of directors, which shall consist of at least seven but no more than eleven members.

 

(f)                         Stock Option Plan

 

In 2007, the Company adopted a stock compensation plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Company’s board of directors may grant, to officers and key employees, options to purchase $0.01 par value common stock of the Company. All stock options are granted with an exercise price equal to the common stock’s fair value at the date of grant. All awards have 10-year terms and are immediately vested and fully exercisable on the date of grant.

 

Under the plan, 2,251 common shares have been granted, 2,078 of which remain outstanding at December 31, 2013. During 2013, 88 shares were exercised under the plan. At December 31, 2013, there were 534 additional common shares available for the Company to grant under the Plan. The grant-date fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The assumptions for 2013 grants are provided in the following table. The Company has based the expected term upon management’s estimate of expected

life of the outstanding options. Since the Company’s shares are not publicly traded and its shares are rarely traded privately, expected volatility is estimated based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.

The Company’s provision for income taxes varies from the amount determined by applying the U.S. federal statutory rate to pretax income due primarily to permanent book tax differences, and income tax adjustments, as well as reductions to valuation allowances during 2013 and increases in valuation allowances during 2012.

 

Deferred taxes primarily represent temporary differences related to depreciation of fixed assets; intangible asset amortization; various other allowances and accruals; and federal, state, and foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a valuation allowance of $1.9 million and $2.9 million, respectively, primarily related to foreign net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income that, in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets, including net operating loss carryforwards, is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company’s net operating loss carryforwards will expire at various dates, primarily from 2016 through 2021. In management’s opinion, it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns for years 2009 through 2013, state income tax returns for years 2008 through 2012, United Kingdom income tax returns for years 2011 through 2013, and other foreign income tax returns for various periods remain open to examination by the respective taxing authorities. For selected legal entities, the Company has contractual indemnities from predecessor shareholders for periods predating the Company’s ownership. Unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were not material.

 

(9)                     Benefit Plan

 

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement plan that offers substantially all U.S. employees an opportunity to make pretax contributions pursuant to salary reduction agreements.

 

The plan contains provisions whereby the Company may make matching contributions on behalf of the participants of the plan equal to a discretionary percentage of the participant’s elective salary deferral. Participants become fully vested in employer contributions made on their behalf after six years of credited service. Participants are immediately vested in their elective contributions. Amounts of participants’ forfeited nonvested accounts are applied to reduce the employer’s contributions.

 

Benefit plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $90,000 and $172,000, respectively.

 

(10)              Leases

 

The Company has several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for office and warehouse space. Rental expense for operating leases for 2013 and 2012 was $4,514,000 and $4,794,000, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:
