Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this Quarterly Report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies, prospects and industry estimates. These statements identify prospective information and can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “seeks,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “may,” “will” or “should” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding: (i) our liquidity, including our belief that our existing cash, cash equivalents and anticipated revenues are sufficient to fund our existing operating expenses, capital expenditures and liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months; (ii) our outlook and expectations including, without limitation, statements made regarding continued market expansion and penetration for our products and (iii) expected new product launch dates and market exclusivity periods. The foregoing is not an exclusive list of all forward-looking statements we make. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. The matters referred to in the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report may not in fact occur. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions and the following:

·                  Our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future financial performance.

·                  Our operating results and net earnings may not meet expectations.

·                  Our quarterly results of operations are subject to fluctuations due to the seasonality of our business and other events and, accordingly, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

·                  Our financial results could suffer if we are unable to implement and successfully manage our core strategic initiatives or if our core strategic initiatives do not achieve the intended results.

·                  Sales growth may be difficult to achieve.

·                  We face intense competition in our business, which could lead to reduced profitability if we cannot compete effectively.

·                  A significant portion of our net sales and net earnings is derived from a few key customers. The loss of any one or more of these customers could cause a material decline in our operating results.

·                  Changes in marketing distributor relationships that are not managed successfully could result in a disruption in one or more of the affected markets.

·                  Customer support of our marketing and advertising programs and new product launches is critical for our success.

·                  Providing price concessions or trade terms that are acceptable to our customers, or the failure to do so, could adversely affect our sales and profitability.

·                  We may not successfully develop and introduce new products and line extensions.

·                  Our dependence upon third parties for the manufacture and supply of a substantial portion of our products could prevent us from delivering our products to our customers in the required quantities or within the required timeframe, which could result in order cancellations and decreased net sales.

·                  Volatility and cost increases in raw materials, energy, shipping and transportation and other necessary supplies or services could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

·                  We are exposed to commodity fluctuation risk and may not be able to adequately hedge our exposure, if at all.

Table of Contents

·                  Reliance on a limited base of third party contract manufacturers, logistics, procurement and information systems service providers may result in disruption to our business.

·                  Our facilities and those of our suppliers, service providers and common use facilities operators such as ports are subject to disruption by events beyond our control.

·                  We may not be able to hire or retain the number of qualified personnel required for our business, which would harm the development and sales of our products and limit our ability to grow.

·                  If we lose the services of our key personnel, our business could be adversely affected.

·                  Global economic conditions may negatively impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

·                  Operations outside the United States expose us to uncertain conditions and other risks in international markets.

·                  Because we operate and sell our products in foreign countries, changes in currency exchange rates could adversely affect our operations and financial results.

·                  Harm to our reputation or the reputation of one or more of our leading brands could have an adverse effect on our business.

·                  We may not be able to attain synergies for our business and the IDQ business following our investment in IDQ Acquisition Corp.

·                  Acquisitions, new venture investments and divestitures may not be successful.

·                  Our substantial indebtedness, including the terms of our credit agreement governing the Credit Facilities and the indenture that governs the Senior Notes, restricts our current and future operations and could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations or to exploit business opportunities, limits our ability to respond to changes in the economy or our industry and prevents us from making debt service payments.

·                  Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more indebtedness. This could further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition.

·                  We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

·                  Our variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

·                  Goodwill, intangible and other long lived assets are subject to impairment risk.

·                  Failure to protect our intellectual property rights could impact our competitiveness, allow our competitors to develop and market products with features similar to our products and demand for our products could decline.

·                  If we are found to have infringed the intellectual property rights of others or cannot obtain necessary intellectual property rights from others, our competitiveness could be adversely impacted.

·                  In the ordinary course of business, we may be subject to product liability claims and lawsuits, including potential class actions, alleging that our products have resulted in or could result in unsafe condition or injury.

·                  We operate under an FTC consent order, which requires certain compliance policies and procedures. Should we violate our requirements thereunder, we may face significant fines and penalties.

·                  Compliance with environmental law and other government regulations could impose material costs.

·                  Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

·                  Changes in tax laws could adversely affect the taxes we pay and our profitability.

·                  Our judgments regarding the accounting for tax positions and the resolution of tax disputes may impact the Company’s earnings and cash flow.

·                  Changes in our effective tax rate may adversely affect our earnings and cash flow.

·                  A failure of a key information technology system could adversely impact our ability to conduct business.

·                  Our continued growth and expansion and increasing reliance on third party service providers could adversely affect our internal control over financial reporting, which could harm our business and financial results.

·                  We may incur increased ongoing costs as a result of being obligated to file reports with the SEC and our management may be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

·                  Compliance with changing regulations and standards for accounting, corporate governance and public disclosure may result in additional expenses and this could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

·                  The estimates and assumptions on which our financial statements are based may prove to be inaccurate, which may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

·                  We can be adversely affected by the implementation of new, or changes in, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

·                  As an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this Quarterly Report speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

As used herein, “Company”, “AAG”, “we”, “us” or “our” and similar terms refer to Armored AutoGroup Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context in which the term is used indicates otherwise.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Armored AutoGroup Inc. is a consumer products company consisting primarily of Armor All® and STP®, two of the most recognizable brands in the automotive aftermarket appearance products and performance chemicals categories, respectively. Armored AutoGroup Inc. delivers its products to distributors, resellers and end customers (collectively, “the customers”) through its direct operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, China and the United Kingdom and distributor relationships in approximately 50 countries. The Armor All and STP brands offer multiple automotive appearance and performance chemical products that can be found in most of the major developed countries around the world.

In September 2010, Viking Acquisition Inc., an entity owned by affiliates of Avista Capital Holdings, L.P. (“Avista”), entered into an agreement to acquire the AutoCare Products Business, Armor All, STP and certain other brands from The Clorox Company (“Clorox”) pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 21, 2010 (the “Acquisition”).  The Acquisition closed on November 5, 2010 and included employees in the United States and other countries dedicated to the Company, related product patent and developed technology and certain other assets, including the manufacturing facilities located in Painesville, Ohio and Wales, United Kingdom.  Viking Acquisition Inc. was subsequently renamed Armored AutoGroup Inc. (“AAG”).  Armored AutoGroup Parent Inc. (“AAG Parent” or “Parent”) indirectly owns all of AAG’s issued and outstanding capital stock through its direct subsidiary and AAG’s direct parent, Armored AutoGroup Intermediate Inc. (“Intermediate”).

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions made. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, management revised its estimated compensation expense resulting in a reduction of $1.0 million in selling and administrative expense for the quarter. Further, the results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014, or for any future period.

The Company’s business is moderately seasonal and can be impacted by weather. Sales are typically higher in the first half of the calendar year as the Company’s customers in the northern hemisphere purchase inventory for the spring and summer seasons when weather is warmer than in the fall and winter months.  This pattern is largely reflective of our customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns, as well as the timing of our promotional activities. Weather can also influence consumer behavior, especially for appearance products. Our appearance products sell best during warm, dry weather, and less if weather is cold and wet.  For these reasons, among others, the Company’s results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly results and, accordingly, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted or condensed pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which includes a complete set of footnote disclosures, including the Company’s significant accounting policies. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information or disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized when title to the product, ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment or the date of receipt by the customer and when all of the following have occurred: a firm sales arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs, when these costs are included in the list price to the customer. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to

Table of Contents

governmental authorities are not included in sales. A provision for payment discounts and product return allowances is recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period that the revenue is recognized.

The Company routinely commits to trade promotion programs with customers, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons offered through various programs to customers and consumers. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included as accrued marketing and promotion in the accrued expenses and other current liabilities line item in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded as a reduction of sales in the Condensed Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Amounts received by the Company from the licensing of certain trademarks are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the licensing agreement when the underlying royalties are earned.

Cost of Products Sold

Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of product, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense, direct overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product, contract manufacturing costs, and provisions for inventory losses (including losses relating to excess and obsolete inventory). Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity as well as costs associated with developing and designing new packaging.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. For purposes of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company calculates tax with reference to the anticipated effective tax rate for the annual financial period. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement amounts and their respective tax bases. Management reviews the Company’s deferred tax assets to determine whether their value can be realized based upon available evidence. A valuation allowance is established when management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. In addition to valuation allowances, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions when such tax positions do not meet the recognition thresholds or measurement standards prescribed by accounting guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Amounts for uncertain tax positions are adjusted when new information becomes available or when positions are effectively settled.

None of the Company’s goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Company files consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns with its Parent.  Income taxes have been prepared on a separate return basis.  The Company pays its tax liability on behalf of its Parent.

Foreign Currency Translation

Local currencies are the functional currencies for substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations. When the transactional currency is different than the functional currency, transaction gains and losses are included as a component of other expense (income), net.  Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translation are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss). Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative translation adjustments where the Company expects earnings of a foreign subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company tests its goodwill and trademark and brand intangible assets with indefinite lives annually as of October 1st unless there are indications during an interim period that these assets may have become impaired.  Goodwill impairment occurs when the carrying amount of one of the Company’s reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The Company would then record an impairment charge being the difference between the carrying amount and the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. For trademarks and brand intangible assets with indefinite lives, impairment occurs when the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated fair value and an impairment charge is

Table of Contents

recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value. The Company’s estimates of fair value are based primarily on a discounted cash flow approach as supplemented by a market based approach. Significant judgment is necessary in the preparation of assumptions and estimates inherent in such valuation approaches, particularly with respect to the determination of future volumes, revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital use, foreign-exchange rates, inflation, the selection of an appropriate discount rate and the calculation of an average earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple of a selected public-company peer group. In particular, the discount rates the Company utilizes in these analyses, as well as expectations for future cash flows, may be influenced by such factors as changes in interest rates, rates of inflation and changes in regional risk.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, goodwill decreased by $0.2 million due to currency translation of $2.1 million and partially offset by the preliminary purchase accounting related to a small acquisition in our international region of $1.9 million.

Property, Plant & Equipment and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company calculates depreciation and amortization expense by the straight-line method using estimated useful lives of the related assets. The Company reviews property, plant and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The Company’s impairment review is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist and impairment occurs when the book value of the asset group exceeds the estimated future undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset group. When impairment is indicated, a charge is recorded for the difference between the book value of the asset group and its fair value. Depending on the asset or asset group, estimated fair value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in a similar condition.

Reclassification

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net loss or comprehensive (loss) income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  The ASU requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued and, if so, to disclose that fact.  The ASU requires management to make this evaluation for both the annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable.  Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt.  The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its disclosure requirements.

In June 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12—Compensation-Stock Compensation.  The ASU is intended to resolve diverse accounting treatment for accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that the performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period.  The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition.  The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015.  Earlier adoption is permitted.  The Company is assessing the impact on the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements.

In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer.  The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period.  Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities

The Company defines fair value as the price 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. The Company established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value which is intended to increase consistency and comparability and related disclosures. An asset or liability’s classification is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement and is disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, trade accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and long-term debt.  Due to their short-term maturity, the carrying amounts of cash, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate their fair market values.  The carrying and fair values of the Company’s long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):

The fair value of the Term Loan and the Senior Notes was determined using broker quotes, which use discounted cash flows, an income approach, and the then applicable forward LIBOR rates and, therefore, meets the definition of Level 2 fair value, as defined above.

Note 4 — Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Other Legal Matters

In connection with the Acquisition, Clorox retained liability associated with a potential contract claim and the Company agreed to indemnify and reimburse Clorox for 50% of the first $5,000,000 in settlement costs related to the contract claim. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has accrued $2.5 million in long-term liabilities related to this contingency.

The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims relating to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, patents and trademarks, advertising, employee and other matters. Although the results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of these matters, to the extent not previously provided for, will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial statements taken as a whole.

Note 5 — Income taxes

The Company’s effective tax benefit rate was as follows:

The Company’s effective tax benefit rate for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to U.S. federal manufacturing benefits recognized and state taxes, which both increase the benefit rate. Further, the Company’s effective tax benefit rate has decreased for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013, as a result of a discrete tax benefit of $0.2 million recorded during the three month period ending September 30, 2014.  The discrete tax benefit is primarily the result of a change in the uncertain tax positions recorded by Clorox, for which the Company has recorded a corresponding benefit in income from operations due to the indemnification agreement between the entities, a change in the Company’s blended state tax rate, and true-ups related to the filing of the Company’s 2013 income tax returns.

The Company’s effective tax benefit rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to U.S. federal manufacturing benefits recognized and state taxes. Further, the Company’s effective tax benefit rate has decreased for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding period in 2013 primarily as a result of a discrete tax charge of $0.6 million recorded during the nine month period ending September 30, 2014.  The discrete tax charge is primarily the result of a change in the uncertain tax positions recorded by Clorox, for which the Company has recorded a corresponding benefit in income from operations due to the indemnification agreement between the entities, a change in the Company’s blended state tax rate, and true-ups related to the filing of the Company’s 2013 income tax returns.

Note 6 — Segment Data

The Company manages its business through two geographic segments: North America and International.

·                  North America—consists of auto-care products marketed and sold in the United States and Canada. Products within this segment include auto-care products primarily under the Armor All and STP brands.

·                  International—consists of products sold outside North America, including Australia, Europe and other international locations. Products within this segment include auto-care products primarily under the Armor All and STP brands.

The Company does not allocate its amortization of intangible assets or interest expense between its North America and International segments but includes them in the tables below under Corporate in order to reconcile the North America and International segments’ performance to the Company’s Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. All intersegment sales are eliminated and are not included in the Company’s reportable segments’ net sales.

Note 7 — Financial Information for the Company and Its Subsidiaries

The Company’s payment obligations under the Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject, in the case of the subsidiary guarantors, to customary release provisions. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiaries. In servicing payments to be made on the Senior Notes and other indebtedness, and to satisfy other liquidity requirements, the Company will rely, in large part, on cash flows from these subsidiaries, mainly in the form of dividends, royalties and advances or payments on account of intercompany loan arrangements. The ability of these subsidiaries to make dividend payments to the Company will be affected by, among other factors, the obligations of these entities to their creditors, requirements of corporate and other law, and restrictions contained in agreements entered into by or relating to these entities.

The following supplemental consolidating financial information sets forth, on a combining basis, balance sheets, statements of comprehensive (loss) income and statements of cash flows for the Company, the guarantor subsidiaries, the non-guarantor subsidiaries and elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and its subsidiaries. This information is presented in lieu of
