NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions.

 

The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. In the opinion of management, the accompanying statements reflect adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for those periods indicated, and contain adequate disclosure to make the information presented not misleading. Adjustments included herein are of a normal, recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed in the Notes to the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and Notes thereto included in Lapolla’s latest annual report on Form 10-K in order to fully understand the basis of presentation. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year. Certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 unaudited condensed financial statement presentation. Reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 14. See Part I, Item 1A, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report”) for risk factors that could impact results. Refer to the Company’s 2013 Annual Report for a description of major accounting policies. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Fixed-Price Contracts

 

The Company’s AirTight Division performs work under fixed-price contracts. The lengths of the fixed-price contracts vary but are typically less than one year. In accordance with industry practice, the Company includes asset and liability accounts relating to fixed-price contracts, including related deferred income taxes, if applicable, in current assets and liabilities even when such amounts are realizable or payable over a period in excess of one year. Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Fixed-price contract costs include all direct material, labor costs, equipment and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, and repairs costs. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. The asset "costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts" represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes is determined using the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The Company’s deferred tax asset was approximately $23.1 million and $23.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $23.1 million and $23.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, reducing its net carrying value to zero. The Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits or any accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings every year over its estimated economic useful life. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. Property, plant, and equipment held for use is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which there is an identifiable cash flow. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances would include a significant decrease in the market value of a long-lived asset grouping, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset grouping is being used or in its physical condition, a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset grouping, or changes in the expected useful life of the long-lived assets. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by that asset group is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset group is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset group’s fair value and its carrying value. An estimate of the asset group’s fair value is based on the discounted value of its estimated cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent our best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that we must estimate include industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, costs to produce, etc. Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions that differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. Management believes it uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges. The Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for property, plant and equipment at September 30, 2014. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $1,457,539 and $1,600,679 as of and for the quarter and year ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $96,695 and $110,838, of which $54,479 and $69,052, and $300,619 and $343,538, of which $173,624 and $212,492, was included in cost of sales, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED-CONTINUED)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions - continued.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible asset of an acquired business. Goodwill was $4,234,828 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company operates two reporting units or segments, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 9 to the financial statements. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the carrying value of each reportable segment to its estimated fair value. The annual evaluation is performed in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill. As of September 30, 2014, the Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for goodwill that would require additional analysis before the 2014 annual evaluation.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company had other intangible assets consisting primarily of customer lists, product formulations, trade names, and non-competes that were acquired as part of business combinations. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment as part of the long-lived asset grouping impairment tests. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. See impairment discussion above under Property, Plant and Equipment for a description of how impairment losses are determined. Disclosures related to other intangible assets are included in Note 9 to the financial statements. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the Company’s impairment evaluations. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that management uses to manage its business. It is possible, however, that the plans may change and estimates used may prove to be inaccurate. If the Company’s actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, then the Company could incur future impairment charges, which would adversely affect financial performance. The Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for other intangible assets at September 30, 2014. Net other intangible assets totaled $1,177,837 and $1,165,157 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $78,653 and $80,325, and $212,428 and $338,776, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized as risk and title to products transfers to the customer (which generally occurs at the time shipment is made), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales channels include direct sales, distributors, and independent representatives. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in sales (freight). Freight included in sales totaled $245,379 and $291,466, and $720,394 and $851,699, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Sales are recorded net of sales tax. Freight included in cost of sales totaled $1,102,799 and $882,121, and $3,136,657 and $2,549,389, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation by measuring and recognizing the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of share based awards is estimated at the grant date using a straight line closing trading stock price based valuation model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Share based compensation expense was $189,670 and $309,762, and $563,369 and $969,676, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If additional stock options or stock awards are granted, financial performance will be negatively affected, and if outstanding stock options or stock awards are forfeited or canceled, resulting in non-vesting of such stock options or stock awards, financial performance will be positively affected. In either instance, the Company’s financial performance may change depending on stock option or stock award activities in future periods.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company presents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible accounts. Allowances, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting our customer base. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $698,000 and $317,000 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate based on worsening overall economic conditions, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments to the Company, then additional allowances may be required in future periods, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation, Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions - continued

 

Advertising and Marketing

 

Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Expenditures for trade magazines and television commercials are expensed at the time the first advertisement is printed or shown on television. Expenditures for certain advertising and marketing activities related to trade shows are deferred within the Company’s fiscal year when the benefits clearly extend beyond the interim period in which the expenditure is made, generally not to exceed 90 days. Other advertising and marketing expenditures that do not meet the deferred criteria are expensed when the advertising occurs. Deferred advertising capitalized was $167,836 and $66,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total advertising and marketing costs expensed were $218,930 and $129,176, and $806,578 and $732,493, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the net income (loss) applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements and upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the effect of the assumed conversions of convertible securities and exercise of stock options only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, basic and diluted net (loss) per share are the same since (a) the Company has reflected a net loss for the period presented and (b) the potential issuance of shares of common stock of the Company would be anti-dilutive.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The ASU will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in U.S. GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity's nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and is to be applied retrospectively, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and allows companies to have significant continuing involvement with and continuing cash flows from or to the discontinued operation. It also requires additional disclosures for discontinued operations and new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's condensed financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern:  Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.”  The amendments in this ASU are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures.  This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions that are intended to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures that are commonly provided by organizations in the financial statement footnotes.  The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted for annual or interim reporting periods for which the financial statements have not previously been issued.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the condensed financial statements and related disclosures.

 

Note 2. Liquidity.

 

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $88,823,919 on September 30, 2014, had a net loss of $2,328,265 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and used $744,840 of cash in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. As a result, there are concerns about the liquidity of the Company at September 30, 2014. The Company has a working capital surplus of $6,685,065. Management believes that the cash generated from operations, the cash available under the Revolver Loan, subject to borrowing base limitations, and the Chairman’s Financial Substitution Commitment, based on budgeted sales and expenses as supported by credit, margin and expense controls, are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, including capital expenditures, for the next 12 months.

 

Note 3. Dependence on Few Suppliers.

 

The Company is dependent on a few suppliers for certain raw materials and finished goods. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, raw materials and finished goods purchased from the three largest suppliers accounted for approximately 44% and 44%, and 43% and 53%, of purchases, respectively.

Note 12. Financing Instruments.

 

(a) Loan and Security Agreement. The Company maintains a $13,000,000 revolver loan (“Revolver Loan”) pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”), under which the Company granted the Bank a continuing security interest in and lien upon all Company assets ("Loan Agreement”). The Base Rate is equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%; or (c) LIBOR for a 30 day interest period, plus 1.50%. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to the Bank daily. If, at any time, the Company’s Borrowing Base calculation is less than the amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan, and that amount remains unpaid or is not increased from future Borrowing Base calculations to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan at any given time, the Bank, in its discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $5,442,030 and $4,539,163, and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively. At September 30, 2014, the available balance was $1,077,892. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company was required to have a certain Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (FCCR) as of the last day of each month. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with this covenant primarily because of a non-recurring note receivable write-off. Accordingly, the Bank agreed to amend the definition of FCCR to 1.0 to 1.0. The Bank also agreed to amend the Revolver Termination Date from March 31, 2016 to February 15, 2015, which will allow us to continue to draw under the Revolver Loan until February 15, 2015. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all of the Loan Agreement debt covenants at September 30, 2014. See also Note 17 – Subsequent Events, Items (a) and (b), for more information.

(b) Note Purchase Agreements.

 

(i) New Enhanced Note. The Company issued an aggregate of $7.2 million in Subordinated Secured Promissory Notes to Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs”) and Enhanced Credit Supported Loan Fund, LP (“Enhanced Credit”), pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, of which $5.7 million was to Enhanced Credit and $1.5 million was to Enhanced Jobs, both of which mature on December 10, 2016, under which the Company granted a second lien on all its assets after the Bank (“New Enhanced Note”). Interest is payable monthly and broken down into current pay interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum, and PIK interest at the rate of 3.75% (which is added to the principal balance of the outstanding notes) to create the aggregate interest rate of 11%. In connection with the Prior Enhanced Note (defined below) being refinanced in connection with the New Enhanced Note (Refer to (iii) below), a purchase discount of $542,886 was recognized and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the three year term of the New Enhanced Note (See also (ii) below). At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the New Enhanced Note was $7,027,882 and $6,683,561 and the effective interest rate was 23.6% and 29.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2014, interest expense – amortization of discount was $136,512. Under the New Enhanced Note, the Company was required to have a certain EBITDA for the three months ended as of the last day of each month and FCCR as of the last day of each month. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with these covenants primarily because of a non-recurring note receivable write-off. Accordingly, Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Credit agreed to amend the definition of FCCR to 1.0 to 1.0  and the EBITDA requirements. In addition, the PIK interest rate was changed from 3.75% to 4.25%. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all of the New Enhanced Note debt covenants at September 30, 2014. See also Note 17 – Subsequent Events, Item (c), for more information.

 

(ii) New Guaranty Agreement. In connection with the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above, Richard J. Kurtz, Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder (the “Chairman”), as guarantor, entered into a Guaranty Agreement with Enhanced Credit, as agent under the New Enhanced Note, to secure the Company’s performance under the New Enhanced Note. The Company, in exchange for the Chairman’s personal guaranty of the obligations under the New Enhanced Note, granted the Chairman 3,681,000 shares of restricted common stock, which shares vest monthly on a pro rata basis over the three year term of the New Enhanced Note (“New Guaranty Shares”). The New Guaranty Shares were valued at $.60 per share for an aggregate of $2,208,600. The New Guaranty Shares are being recorded as interest expense – related party, thereby increasing the effective interest rate on the New Enhanced Note. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 916,054 and 73,821 New Guaranty Shares vested, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $549,633 and $44,293, respectively.

 

(iii) Prior Enhanced Note. Upon receipt of the $7.2 million under the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above on December 10, 2013, the Company paid off the outstanding balances due under the prior Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2012, entered into with Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund LP (“Enhanced Capital”), in the amount of $1,673,381 for Enhanced Jobs and $1,673,381 for Enhanced Capital (“Prior Enhanced Note”), and all related agreements were terminated. At December 9, 2013 and prior to the payoff of the balance outstanding on the Prior Enhanced Note of $3,346,762 (as described above), the effective interest rate was 29.2%.

 

(iv) Prior Guaranty Agreement. As a result of the payoff of the Prior Enhanced Notes as described in (iii) above, the Company canceled an aggregate of 1,376,712 unvested shares (with an unrecorded valued of $371,801) which shares were previously issued in connection with the personal guaranty required for the Prior Enhanced Note from the Chairman to secure the Company’s performance under the Prior Enhanced Note (“Prior Guaranty Shares”). The Prior Guaranty Shares were valued at $.27 per share for an aggregate of $1,350,000. The Prior Guaranty Shares were recorded as interest expense – related party, thereby increasing the effective interest rate on the Prior Enhanced Note.

 

(c) Note Payable – Related Party. On April 16, 2012, the Company issued a $1,300,000 promissory note, bearing interest at 5% per annum, to the Chairman in exchange for an equal amount of proceeds, which is subordinate to the Loan Agreement and the New Enhanced Note described in (a) and (b)(i) above and matures on June 10, 2017. At September 30, 2014 and 2013, interest expense – related party was $54,667 and $52,634, respectively.

 

Note 13. Related Party Transactions.

 

(a) On April 28, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 400,000 five-year stock options to four non-employee directors, consisting of Jay C. Nadel, Arthur J. Gregg, Augustus J.

Each of the foregoing stock options vest over a period of two (2) years at the rate of 50,000 options on April 30, 2015 and 50,000 options on April 30, 2016, and are exercisable after one (1) year from each respective vesting date. All stock options automatically vest and are exercisable upon a change in control. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the company recognized approximately $14,000 and $33,000 in expense related to these options, respectively. The options are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The total fair value of the grant to be recognized is $155,027. In addition, the cash compensation to the foregoing non-employee directors was increased from $10,000 per year, payable quarterly, to $12,500 per year, effective January 1, 2014.

 

(b) On April 28, 2014, the Company granted an aggregate of 1,025,000 five-year stock options to eight key employees, including the named executive officers, consisting of Douglas J. Kramer, Michael T. Adams, Harvey L. Schnitzer, and Charles A.

(c) On May 14, 2014, the Company granted five-year stock options to the Chairman for an aggregate of 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price equal to $0.54 per share. The foregoing stock options vest over a period of two (2) years at the rate of 200,000 options on May 14, 2015 and May 14, 2016, respectfully, and once vested, are immediately exercisable. Upon commencement of a change in control, all unvested stock options automatically vest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the company recognized approximately $13,000 and $38,000 in expense related to these options, respectively. The options are valued using the Black-Scholes model. The total fair value of the grant to be recognized is $199,305.

 

(d) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 20,367 and 334,471 shares of common stock, including anti-dilution shares, were issued to a non-employee director for advisory and consulting services, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $13,563 and $193,777, respectively.

 

(e)     For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, 308,707 and 916,054 shares of common stock previously issued to the Chairman in connection with his personal guaranty of the New Enhanced Note vested, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $185,224 and $549,633, and classified as interest expense – related party.  See also Note 12 – Financing Instruments Item (b)(ii) – New Guaranty Agreement, for more information.

 

(f) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company accrued an aggregate of $18,654 and $54,667 in interest relating to the promissory note to the Chairman. See also Note 12 – Financing Instruments, Item (c) – Note Payable – Related Party, for more information.

 

Note 14. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic and Diluted.

 

Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the net income (loss) applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements and upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.

 

The computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share at:

 

   Three Months Ended September 30,  Nine Months Ended September 30,
   2014  2013  2014  2013
Net loss available to common shareholders  $(1,014,359)  $(297,178)  $(2,328,265)  $(1,325,088)
Weighted average common shares outstanding   115,204,510    112,155,974    114,821,758    110,945,316 
Dilutive effect of equity incentive plans   350,000    350,000    350,000    350,000 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution   115,487,651    112,274,357    114,143,420    111,035,142 
Basic earnings per common share  $(0.01)  $(0.00)  $(0.02)  $(0.01)
Diluted earnings per common share  $(0.01)  $(0.00)  $(0.02)  $(0.01)

 

At September 30, 2014, a total of 2,460,000 shares of common stock underlying vested and exercisable stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, of which 350,000 stock options had exercise prices less than the market value of the common shares (in-the-money) and 2,110,000 stock options had exercise prices greater than or equal to the market value of the common shares (out-of-the-money). At September 30, 2013, a total of 3,055,833 shares of common stock underlying vested and exercisable stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, of which 350,000 stock options were in-the-money and 2,705,833 stock options were out-of-the-money. Such out-of-the-money securities could be included in the calculation in the future if the market value of the Company’s common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price of these securities and they have not expired.

 

Note 15. Securities Transactions.

 

(a) During the third quarter of 2014, the Company vested an aggregate of 308,707 shares of restricted common stock previously issued to the Chairman in connection with his personal guaranty of the New Enhanced Note, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $185,224, and classified as interest expense – related party.

 

(b) During the third quarter of 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,367 anti-dilution shares of restricted common stock in connection with an agreement for advisory and consulting services, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $13,563.

Note 17.   Subsequent Events.

 

(a) Loan and Security Agreement Amendment. On November 14, 2014, the Company and the Bank entered into an amendment, effective August 31, 2014, to the Loan Agreement. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company was required to have a certain FCCR as of the last day of each month. The Company was not in compliance with this covenant primarily because of a non-recurring note receivable write-off. Accordingly, the Bank agreed to amend the definition of FCCR to 1.0 to 1.0. The Bank also agreed to amend the Revolver Termination Date from March 31, 2016 to February 15, 2015, which will allow us to continue to draw under the Revolver Loan until February 15, 2015. As a result of the amendment, the Company regained compliance with all of its Loan Agreement debt covenants at September 30, 2014.

 

(b) Chairman’s Financial Substitution Commitment. On November 14, 2014, the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder provided Management with a financial commitment to ensure payment of the amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which matures on February 15, 2015, and make available working capital of up to $1.5 Million for the Company’s ongoing operations from the date hereof and on or after the maturity date of the Loan Agreement (“Financial Substitution Commitment”). This Financial Substitution Commitment will either be satisfied from his personal funds, or, from funds caused by him to be otherwise provided by an appropriate lending or other institution, and any funds provided thereunder will have a maturity date of June 10, 2017. The Financial Substitution Commitment will be superseded in the event and to the extent that the Company is independently funded by a third party source, either privately or institutionally, at or before the time the Financial Substitution Commitment is due and the Revolver Loan is repaid and Loan Agreement obligation is fully satisfied, and working capital of $1.5 Million for the Company’s ongoing operations is obtained from the date hereof and on or after the maturity date of the Loan Agreement. Management requested that the Chairman of the Board fund $250,000 under this Financial Substitution Commitment to meet a request from the Bank which payment was made on November 14, 2014.   See (d) below.

 

(c) New Enhanced Note Amendment. On November 14, 2014, the Company and Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Capital entered an amendment, effective August 31, 2014, to  the Note Purchase Agreement. Under the New Enhanced Note, the Company was required to have a certain EBITDA for the three months ended as of the last day of each month and FCCR as of the last day of each month. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was not in compliance with these covenants primarily because of a non-recurring note receivable write-off. Accordingly, Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Credit agreed to amend the definition of FCCR to 1.0 to 1.0 and the EBITDA requirements. In addition, the PIK interest rate was changed from 3.75% to 4.25%. As a result of the amendment, the Company regained compliance with all of its New Enhanced Note debt covenants at September 30, 2014.

 

(d) On November 14, 2014, the Company issued a $250,000 promissory note, bearing interest at 8% per annum, to the Chairman in exchange for an equal amount of cash proceeds, which is subordinate to the Loan Agreement and the New Enhanced Note and matures June 10, 2017.

 

(e) On October 14, 2014, the Company granted Douglas J. Kramer, CEO and President, the right to acquire 1,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, determined based on the per share closing price on such date, or $.425 per share, which options were immediately vested and exercisable at the time of grant (“Kramer Options”). The Kramer Options were granted as partial replacement for 2,000,000 stock options were granted on July 12, 2005 which expired July 12, 2013 (the “Prior Expired Options”). The Prior Expired Options were inadvertently extended to December 31, 2015, however, due to the 8 year life limitation, they were deemed canceled at the end of 8 years. The Company also undertook to grant the additional 850,000 stock options (to make up for the total 2,000,000 stock options) on January 2, 2015 since the equity Incentive Plan only permits the grant of a total of 2,000,000 stock options during any calendar year (and Mr. Kramer was previously granted 850,000 stock options during the 2014 year for other incentives).

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements made by us in this report that are not statements of fact constitute "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of management and express our opinions and current expectations about trends and factors which may impact future operating results. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Such statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from opinions and expectations. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, judgments, and estimates, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors that could cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements and could cause our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to be materially adversely affected. For a discussion of risks that relate to our business and investing in shares of our common stock, you should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

 

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

 

Overview of Presentation

 

This financial review presents our operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, and our financial condition at September 30, 2014. To supplement our condensed financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose non-GAAP measures as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in its business, and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, we believe many investors use these non-GAAP measures to monitor the Company’s performance. Our presentation includes these non-GAAP financial measures, and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measures most directly comparable thereto. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income or loss. The non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. In addition, the following review should be read in conjunction with information presented in Part I, Item 6 – Selected Financial Data relating to non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information regarding significant accounting policies and Note 16 – Business Segment and Geographic Area Information to our financial statements listed under Item 1 of Part I of this report for further information regarding our business segments and geographic area data.

 

EBITDA

 

We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets. EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, trade suppliers and research analysts, to assess: (a) the financial performance of our assets, operations and return on capital without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical costs basis, (b) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness; and (c) the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects. EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income or loss, operating income or loss, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income or loss and operating income or loss.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

We utilize Adjusted EBITDA to assist in reviewing financial results and for management incentives. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA increased by total share based compensation included in net income or loss. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides information that reflects our economic performance. Management reviews our monthly financial results on an Adjusted EBITDA basis. Adjusted EBITDA has no impact on reported volumes or sales.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by management to describe our operations and economic performance to the Company’s financial institutions, relating to: (a) the economic results of our operations; and (b) repeatable operating performance that is not distorted by non-recurring items, certain other non-cash items, or market volatility. Adjusted EBITDA is not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss, income or loss from operations, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Company believes that presenting EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for financial and operational decision-making and allows investors to see the Company’s results "through the eyes" of management. We further believe that providing this information assists investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales was $14,588,682, of which $12,717,336 was for foams and $1,871,346 was for coatings, in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $14,136,145, of which $12,209,091 was for foams and $1,927,054 was for coatings, in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in cost of sales of $452,537 or 3.2% was primarily due to $260,829 increase in material costs; $220,678 increase in freight costs; and $182,790 increase in other manufacturing costs, these costs were partiality offset by increases in selling price. Freight costs increased due to higher trip rates, while material costs rose due to increased pricing from raw materials in the third quarter of 2014 compared to the third quarter of 2013. Foam cost of sales increased $508,245 or 4.2%, primarily due to $247,220 increase in material costs; $199,470 increase freight costs; and $159,338 increase in other manufacturing costs, these costs are partiality offset by increases in the selling price. Coatings cost of sales decreased $55,708, or 2.9%, primarily due to lower sales volumes; offset by an increase of $13,609 in material costs; $21,208 increase in freight costs; and $25,452 increase in other manufacturing costs.

Foam gross profit decreased $427,020 or 13.8%, as a result of a decrease in demand and higher cost of sales, which contributed to a decrease in gross margin of 2.3%, while coatings gross profit decreased $225,310 or 26.6%, primarily from the decrease in sales, which contributed to a reduction in gross margin of 1.1%.

The increase in interest expense of $79,697 or 35.1% was due to a higher monthly average amount outstanding on the Revolver Loan at a weighted-average interest rate of 3.8%, augmented by a higher amount outstanding on the New Enhanced Note at an interest rate of 11.0% in the current quarter.

 

Interest expense for related party was $203,877 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $187,870 in the third quarter of 2013. The increase in interest expense for related party of $16,007 or 8.5% was due to share-based compensation expense classified as interest expense related to the vesting of New Guaranty Shares.

 

Interest expense related to our amortized purchase discount was $46,007 in the third quarter of 2014 compared to $0 in the second quarter of 2013.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We do not maintain any cash on hand by design. Instead, we maintain a $13 million asset-based bank financed Revolver Loan that includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding Revolver Loan balance for that day to fund our continuing operations. The reduction serves to decrease our daily interest expense to the extent cash is identified and swept over to reduce the Revolver Loan. Disbursements are paid daily by our bank from cash being made available under our Revolver Loan based on a borrowing base calculation prepared daily for funding. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at September 30, 2014 and 2013, was $1,077,892 and $1,365,037, respectively. Stockholders' Equity decreased $1,194,787, or 95.0%, from the period ended December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014, due to the net loss of $2,328,265, offset by amounts attributable to issuances of common stock for share-based compensation and the issuance of New Guaranty Shares, compared to, an increase of $185,723, or 15.6%, from the period ended December 31, 2012 to the period ended September 30, 2013, due to the net loss of $1,325,088, offset by amounts attributable to issuances of common stock for share-based compensation and the issuance of New Guaranty Shares.

 

Management believes that the cash generated from operations, the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations which may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, and the Chairman’s Financial Substitution Commitment, based on budgeted sales and expenses and implemented minimum sales margin and cost controls, are sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditures, for the next 12 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we evaluate capital raising opportunities for private placements of debt or common or preferred stock from time to time to not only gauge market conditions but also to ensure additional capital is readily available to fund aggressive growth developments. If we raise additional capital from the sale of capital stock (except for permitted issuances) or debt (other than permitted indebtedness), we are required under the New Enhanced Note to prepay, including any prepayment penalty, the amount raised up to the amount outstanding under the New Enhanced Note as of the date of the closing of the transaction out of the net proceeds of the capital raised.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $744,840 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $11,464 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable to the net loss of $2,328,265 for the current nine month period, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, primarily decreases of $42,919 in depreciation due to a decrease in depreciable assets, $126,348 in amortization of other intangible assets due to a decrease in amortizable assets including customer lists and non-competes from previous acquisitions, and $424,219 in share-based compensation expense due to completion of vesting of shares originally granted by the Company pursuant to an advisory and consultant agreement in February 2011, offset by increases of $413,142 in provision for losses due to an increase in customer insolvencies, $46,713 in interest expense due to the issuance of New Guaranty Shares being classified as interest expense, and $136,512 in interest expense due to the purchase discount being amortized over the life of the New Enhanced Note, which matures December 2016. The foregoing was augmented by decreases of $1,304,923 in inventories, $621,612 in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $236,826 in deposits and other non-current assets, , and increases of $1,821,303 in trade receivables, $225,108 in other intangible assets, $226,033 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and $699,221 in accounts payable, and $299,916 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, due primarily to operating activities during the current nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

 

The Company has four material debt covenants to comply with relating to its Loan Agreement: (i) capital expenditures are limited to $625,000 on an annual basis, (ii) a borrowing base calculation defined as an amount determined by a detailed calculation equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 55% of eligible inventory cannot be exceeded (“Borrowing Base”); (iii) maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (defined as the ratio, determined for any period on a consolidated basis for the Company, of (a) EBITDA to (b) the sum of capital expenditures (except those financed with borrowed money other than revolver loans), cash used to pay taxes, interest expense (other than payment-in-kind), principal payments made on borrowed money, and distributions made, in each case determined for such period)(“FCCR”), tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month, in each case for the most recently completed twelve calendar months, equal to a certain minimum ratio, and (iv) maintain minimum liquidity equal to or greater than $500,000. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to the Bank daily. If, at any time, the Company’s Borrowing Base calculation is less than the amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan, and that amount remains unpaid or is not increased from future Borrowing Base calculations to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan at any given time, or the Bank, in its discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. The Company was not initially in compliance with all of its debt covenants and entered into an amendment on November 13, 2014, which caused the Company to regain compliance. As a result, the Company was in compliance with all of the Loan Agreement debt covenants at September 30, 2014. Refer to Item 5 for a description of the amendment.

Management requested that the Chairman of the Board fund $250,000 under this Financial Substitution Commitment to meet a request from the Bank which payment was made on November 14, 2014. Refer to Exhibit 10.2 for the complete text.   See also (d) below.

 

(c) New Enhanced Note Amendment. On November 14, 2014, the Company and Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund, LP entered an amendment effective August 31, 2014 to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated June 29, 2012, wherein  pertinent part: (I) the definitions of: (1) “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” was changed to the ratio of the sum of (i) EBITDA, (ii) subordinated debt incurred during such period on or after August 31, 2014 up to a maximum aggregate amount over all periods of $500,000, and (iii) up to $267,000 in Accounts charged off by Borrower in August, 2014, to the sum of Capital Expenditures cash taxes paid, interest expense (other than PIK), certain principal payments made on indebtedness (other than with respect to Revolver Loans), and distributions made, in each case determined for such period; provided that principal payments made with respect to the Enhanced Indebtedness during December 2013 in an amount not exceeding $150,000 shall not be included in the calculation of the FCCR; (2) PIK was changed from “3.75%” to “4.25%”; (3) minimum EBITDA for the three (3) months ending on the last day of each month were changed to new amounts for each period; (II) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was changed to require at least 1.0 to 1.0, provided that, if the Company fails to maintain such Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of any date of determination but, on or before the date the Company is required to provide its monthly financial statements for a month ending as of such date of determination, the Company incurs additional subordinated debt (up to the aggregate limit of $500,000) that, when included in the determination of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio as of such date of determination would prevent a breach of this covenant, then the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied this covenant as of such date of determination and no default will have occurred on such date; and (III) Minimum Liquidity was changed to be not less than $500,000. Refer to Exhibit 10.3 for the complete text.

 

(d) On November 14, 2014, the Company issued a $250,000 promissory note, bearing interest at 8% per annum, to the Chairman in exchange for an equal amount of cash proceeds, which is subordinate to the Loan Agreement and the New Enhanced Note and matures June 10, 2017.

 

(e) On October 14, 2014, the Company granted Douglas J. Kramer, CEO and President, the right to acquire 1,150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, determined based on the per share closing price on such date, or $.425 per share, which options were immediately vested and exercisable at the time of grant (“Kramer Options”). The Kramer Options were granted as partial replacement for 2,000,000 stock options were granted on July 12, 2005 which expired July 12, 2013 (the “Prior Expired Options”). The Prior Expired Options were inadvertently extended to December 31, 2015, however, due to the 8 year life limitation, they were deemed canceled at the end of 8 years. The Company also undertook to grant the additional 850,000 stock options (to make up for the total 2,000,000 stock options) on January 2, 2015 since the equity Incentive Plan only permits the grant of a total of 2,000,000 stock options during any calendar year (and Mr. Kramer was previously granted 850,000 stock options during the 2014 year for other incentives).
