Tecnoglass Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization, Plan of Business Operation
Tecnoglass Inc. (“TGI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 21, 2011 under the name “Andina Acquisition Corporation” (“Andina”) as a blank check company. Andina’s objective was to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. On December 20, 2013, Andina consummated a merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Tecno Corporation (“Tecnoglass Holding”) as ultimate parent of Tecnoglass S.A. (“TG”) and C.I. Energía Solar S.A. ES. Windows (“ES”). The surviving entity was renamed Tecnoglass Inc. The Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization where Tecnoglass Holding was the acquirer and TGI was the acquired company. Accordingly, the business of Tecnoglass Holding and its subsidiaries became our business. We are now a holding company operating through our direct and indirect subsidiaries.
The Company manufactures hi-specification, architectural glass and windows for the global residential and commercial construction industries. Currently the Company offers design, production, marketing, and installation of architectural systems for buildings of high, medium and low elevation size. Products include windows and doors in glass and aluminum, office partitions and interior divisions, floating façades and commercial window showcases. The Company sells to customers in North, Central and South America, and exports about half of its production to foreign countries.
TG manufactures both glass and aluminum products. Its glass products include tempered glass, laminated glass, thermo-acoustic glass, curved glass, silk-screened glass, acoustic glass and digital print glass. Its Alutions plant produces mill finished, anodized, painted aluminum profiles and rods, tubes, bars and plates. Alutions’ operations include extrusion, smelting, painting and anodizing processes, and exporting, importing and marketing aluminum products.
ES designs, manufactures, markets and installs architectural systems for high, medium and low rise construction, glass and aluminum windows and doors, office dividers and interiors, floating facades and commercial display windows.
In 2014, the Company established two Florida limited liability companies, Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”) and Tecnoglass RE LLC (“Tecno RE”) to acquire manufacturing facilities, manufacturing machinery and equipment, customer lists and exclusive design permits.
Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.
| 6 |
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of TGI, its indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries TG and ES, and its direct subsidiaries Tecno LLC and Tecno RE. Material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules of the SEC for interim reporting purposes.
The preparation of these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these, condensed consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of warrants and other derivative financial instruments. Based on information known before these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, there are no estimates included in these statements for which it is reasonably possible that the estimate will change in the near term up to one year from the date of these financial statements and the effect of the change will be material, except for warrant liability further discussed below in this note and Note 10.
Foreign Currency Translation
The condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollars, the reporting currency. The functional currency of the Company’s operations in Colombia is the Colombian Peso. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company’s foreign operations are prepared in the functional currency. The Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income prepared in the functional currency are translated into the reporting currency using average exchange rates for the respective periods. Assets and liabilities on the condensed consolidated Balance Sheets are translated into the reporting currency using rates of exchange at the end of the period and the related translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, a component of equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
Our principal sources of revenue are derived from product sales of manufactured glass and aluminum products. Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of a signed purchase order or contract, (ii) delivery has occurred per contracted terms, (iii) fees and prices are fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. All revenue is recognized net of discounts, returns and allowances. The Company recognizes revenue when goods are shipped, which is “FOB shipping point”. Delivery to the customer is deemed to have occurred when the customer takes title to the product. Generally, title passes to the customer upon shipment, but title transfer may occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer.
Revenues from fixed price contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. Revenues recognized in advance of amounts billable pursuant to contracts terms are recorded as unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts based on work performed and costs to date. Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts are billable upon various events, including the attainment of performance milestones, delivery of product and/or services, or completion of the contract. Revisions to cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing expected profits each period. Changes in contract estimates occur for a variety of reasons, including changes in contract scope, estimated revenue and estimated costs to complete.
| 7 |
Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for cash discounts for prompt payment, doubtful accounts and sales returns. Estimates for cash discounts and sales returns are based on contractual terms, historical trends and expectations regarding the utilization rates for these clients. The Company’s policy is to reserve for uncollectible accounts based on its best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company periodically reviews its accounts receivable to determine whether an allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary based on an analysis of past due accounts and other factors that may indicate that the collectability of an account may be in doubt. Account balances deemed uncollectible are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.
Inventories
Inventories, which consist primarily of purchased and processed glass, aluminum, parts and supplies held for use in the ordinary course of business, are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using a weighted-average method. Inventory consisting of certain job specific materials not yet installed are valued using the specific identification method. Reserves for excess or slow-moving inventories are updated based on historical experience of a variety of factors including sales volume and levels of inventories at the end of the period. The Company does not maintain allowances for the lower of cost or market for inventories of finished products as its products are manufactured based on firm orders rather than built-to-stock.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income as a reduction to, or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives:
| Buildings | 20 years | |
| Machinery and equipment | 10 years | |
| Furniture and fixtures | 10 years | |
| Office equipment and software | 5 years | |
| Vehicles | 5 years |
Warrant liability
The Company accounts for the warrants against its ordinary shares as a derivative liability. The Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
The Company determines the fair value of warrant liability using the Binomial Lattice options pricing model. In general, the inputs used are unobservable and the fair value measurement of the warrant liability is classified as a Level 3 measurement under guidance for fair value measurements hierarchy of categorization to reflect the level of judgment and observability of the inputs involved in estimating fair values. Refer to Note 10 for additional details about the Company’s warrants.
| 8 |
Income Taxes
The Company’s operations in Colombia are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the Republic of Colombia. Tecno LLC and Tecno RE are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the United States. TGI and Tecnoglass Holding are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards if any.
The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions used in its tax filings would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Income per share assuming dilution (diluted earnings per share) would give effect to dilutive options, warrants, and other potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company considered the dilutive effect of warrants to purchase ordinary shares in the calculation of diluted income per share, which resulted in 3,675,640 shares of dilutive securities for the three month period ended June 30, 2014. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effects 3,419,463 and 3,299,989 dilutive options for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, as well as 3,927,132 dilutive options, warrants and other potentially dilutive securities for the three month period ended June 30, 2015, because their inclusion, given a net loss for the period, would be anti-dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Product Warranties
The Company offers product warranties in connection with the sale and installation of its products that are competitive in the markets in which the products are sold. Standard warranties depend upon the product and service, and are generally from five to ten years for architectural glass, curtain wall, laminated and tempered glass, window and door products. Warranties are not priced or sold separately and do not provide the customer with services or coverages in addition to the assurance that the product complies with original agreed-upon specifications. Claims are settled by replacement of the warrantied products.
Non-Operating Revenues
The Company recognizes non -operating revenues from foreign currency transaction gains and losses, interest income on receivables, proceeds from sales of scrap materials and other activities not related to the Company’s operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses occur when monetary assets, liabilities, payments and receipts that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recorded in the Colombian peso accounts of the Company in Colombia. The Company´s non-operating revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $5,142 and $2,477, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded net gains from foreign currency transactions of $3,373 and $1,404, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain accounts in the prior year’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the presentation in the current year condensed consolidated financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported net income.
Note 3 - Variable Interest Entities
The Company conducted an evaluation as a reporting entity of its involvement with certain significant related party business entities as of June 30, 2015 in order to determine whether these entities were variable interest entities requiring consolidation or disclosures in the financial statements of the Company. The Company evaluated two entities with whom it has maintained significant commercial relationships since 2004.
ES Windows LLC (“ESW LLC”), a Florida LLC, imports and resells the Company’s products in the United States and acts as a freight forwarder for certain raw materials inventory purchased in the United States. The Company’s CEO and COO, other family members, and other related parties own 100% of the equity in ESW LLC. The Company’s sales to ESW LLC for the three month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $11.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $22.9 million and $18.1 million, respectively. Outstanding receivables from ESW LLC at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $18.6 million and $13.8 million, respectively.
Ventanas Solar S.A. (“VS”), a Panama sociedad anonima, is an importer and installer of the Company’s products in Panama. Family members of the Company’s CEO and CFO and other related parties own 100% of the equity in VS. The Company’s sales to VS for the three month and ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $1.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 were $2.6 million and $7.2 million, respectively. Outstanding receivables from VS at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were $11.2 million and $12.2 million respectively, including a three-year payment agreement for trade receivables with a long term balance of $3.4 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, related to a collection agreement between the Company and VS for trade receivables collection from customers in Panama.
Management evaluated several factors, including whether (i) these entities required subordinated financial support from the Company in order to operate, (ii) what variable interests existed in the risks and operations of the entities, (iii) what explicit or implicit interests the Company had in these entities as a result of the significant commercial relationships, (iv) whether the Company or its related parties had the controlling financial interests in these entities, and as a result, (v) who were the primary beneficiaries of those controlling variable interests. In order to evaluate these considerations, the Company analyzed the designs and initial purposes of these entities using available quantitative information, qualitative factors and guidance under ASC 810-10-25 Consolidation and related Subsections.
| 10 |
As of the date of the evaluation, the Company concluded that (i) both entities are deemed variable interest entities because of the presence and effect of significant related parties; (ii) neither variable interest entity requires subordinated financial support for its operations as these operations are designed to provide residual returns to their equity investors, (iii) the Company’s explicit variable interests are its arms-length commercial relationships which do not absorb the entities’ risks and variability, (iv) that neither the Company nor its related parties had the controlling financial interests, and finally (v) the CEO, COO, family members and other equity investors are more closely related to the ESW LLC and VS and were therefore the primary beneficiaries of those entities’ variable interests and residual returns or eventual losses, not the Company. The Company concluded that consolidation of these entities was not indicated.
No subordinated financial support has been provided to these entities as of June 30, 2015 or as of December 31, 2014.

Note 7. Income Taxes
The Company files income tax returns for TG and ES in the Republic of Colombia. Colombia’s Tax Statute was reformed on December 23, 2014. A general corporate income Tax Rate applies at 25% and a CREE Tax based on taxable income applies at a rate of 9% to certain taxpayers including the Company. Prior to the reform, the CREE Tax would only apply up to tax years 2015. The reform makes the CREE tax rate of 9% permanent and an additional CREE Surtax will apply for the years 2015 through 2018 at varying rates.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined by the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement.

Note 10. Warrant Liability
Prior to the Merger on December 20, 2013 the Company issued an aggregate of 9,200,000 warrants to purchase its ordinary shares as follows: 4,200,000 warrants issued in connection with Andina’s Initial Public Offering, 4,800,000 warrants issued in connection with a Private Placement simultaneous with the Initial Public Offering and 200,000 working capital warrants issued upon conversion of a promissory note at the closing of the Merger. Following the Notice of Effectiveness of its Registration Statement on June 16, 2014, an aggregate of 102,570 warrants have been exercised by investors resulting in a net total of 9,097,430 warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The fair value of the warrant liability was determined by the Company using the Binomial Lattice pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the instrument’s expected term, expected strike price, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected instrument term, the expected dividend yield rate over the expected instrument term and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that the instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected strike price is based upon a weighted average probability analysis of the strike price changes expected during the term as a result of the down round protection. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of valuation. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends. The Company measures volatility using a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly traded companies.
The inputs to the model were as follows:
| June 30, 2015 | December 31, 2014 | |||||||
| Stock Price | $ | 12.63 | $ | 10.15 | ||||
| Dividend Yield | $ | 0.125 | N/A | |||||

| Expected Term | 1.72 | 1.97 | ||||||
| Expected Volatility | 32.69 | % | 33.62 | % | ||||

Legal Matters
Tecnoglass S.A. is also a named defendant in the matter of Diplomat Properties, Limited Partnership as assignee of Shower Concepts, Inc. v. Tecnoglass Colombia, S.A. in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. Plaintiff Diplomat Properties, Limited (“Diplomat”) has asserted a claim for indemnification against TG and Tecnoglass USA, Inc. The claim arises from the supplying of glass shower doors to a hotel/spa in Broward County, Florida. Specifically, in 2006, Diplomat commenced arbitration against Shower Concepts, Inc. seeking damages for breach of contract due to fractures in the installed glass shower doors. Diplomat initiated a complaint asserting various claims, which were dismissed with prejudice. The only remaining claim against the Tecnoglass entities is common law indemnification. TG denies liability and asserts that Shower Concepts was at fault and that as a joint tort feasor, it cannot sue for indemnity. A trial date has not yet been set for this case. Management and TG’s counsel believes that a liability in this claim is remote and immaterial and there are no significant reasonably estimated amounts for a possible loss.
General Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
The Company is a holding company operating through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries: TG, which manufactures, markets and exports a variety of glass products since 1994 and established the Alutions plant in 2007 for aluminum products, and ES, a leader in the production of high-end windows and architectural glass systems. We have more than 30 years’ experience in the glass and aluminum structure assembly market in Colombia.
The Company manufactures hi-specification, architectural glass and windows for the global residential and commercial construction industries. Currently the Company offers design, production, marketing, and installation of architectural systems for buildings of high, medium and low elevation size. Products include windows and doors in glass and aluminum, office partitions and interior divisions, floating façades and commercial window showcases. The Company sells to more than 800 customers in North, Central and South America, and exports almost half of its production to foreign countries.
In Panama, ES sells products primarily to companies participating in large construction projects in the higher income areas of the city. ES products were supplied in the Soho Plaza, a complex of a shopping mall and two skyscrapers which brought in approximately $18 million in revenues to the Company since the inception of the contract in 2012.
TG sells to its customers using several sales teams based out of Colombia to specifically target regional markets in South, Central and North America. In addition, TG has approximately ten free-lance sales representatives based in North America.
ES sells its products through four sales teams based out of Colombia, Peru, Panama and the US. The Colombia sales team is the largest sales group and has deep contacts throughout the construction industry, and markets ES’s products and installation services.
The sales team in Peru is responsible for sales in South America excluding Colombia. Sales forces in Panama and the US are not through subsidiaries but arms-length agreements with sales representatives.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.0 million and $15.9 million, respectively. The Company expects that cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s lines of credit will be sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements for the next twelve months. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has approximately $60 million in additional loan availability for any additional working capital or capital expenditure requirements. During the year 2014, the proceeds from the merger were considered one of its primary sources of liquidity as well.
Additionally, until the redemption of certain warrants and unit purchase options or their expiration in December 2016, we could receive up to $89.4 million from the exercise of warrants and unit purchase options comprised of: up to $40 million upon the exercise of all of the insider warrants and working capital warrants, up to $9.4 million upon the exercise of the unit purchase options, up to $7.2 million upon the exercise of the warrants underlying such unit purchase options and up to $32.8 million upon the exercise of the warrants issued in our IPO. As of June 30, 2015, 102,570 warrants have been exercised for proceeds of $0.8 million.
Capital Resources
New technology investments
During the six months ended in June 30, 2015, the Company made significant capital expenditures of approximately $35.3 million. This included the creation of a complete jumbo glass production line that includes washing, tempering, laminating, insulating, silk screening and cutting of glass pieces of up to three meters by six meters. In addition, four new state of the art glass tempering ovens were purchased which increased the plant efficiency and the quality of the finished products.

Sales in the Colombian market, with a significant participation of long-term contracts priced in local currency, increased 34.9% in terms of local currency, but because of unfavorable change in exchange rates, sales in Colombia increased less than $0.1 million or 0.3% for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Sales to Panama decreased by $2.0 million, or 60.3% from the first quarter of 2015 compared to the first quarter of 2014 as large projects the Company had in Panama were finalized.

Expenses
Selling and Administrative Expenses increased 17.7% from $8.2 million to $9.7 million in the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 when compared to the quarterly period ended June 30, 2014. The increase was a result of sales commissions and shipping costs.
Loss - Warrants Liability
A non-cash, non-operating loss of $16.4 million arose from the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability in the three month period ended June 30, 2015 relative to its fair value at the end of the previous quarter ended March 31, 2015. The fair value of the warrants liability changes in response to market factors not directly controlled by the Company such as the market price of the Company’s shares and the volatility index of comparable companies. There are no income tax effects as the Company is registered in the Cayman Islands. See the footnotes to the financial statements.
Management does not consider the effects of the change in the warrant liability to be indicative of the results of the Company’s operations.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as that term is defined in Rules 13a15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting considering certain aspects included in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) of 2013, taking into account the Company´s intention to comply with these requirements.
Management’s evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting identified material weaknesses resulting from design and operating deficiencies in the internal control system. A “material weakness” is defined as a significant deficiency or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A “significant deficiency” is defined as a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects the Company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected.
Management identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015:
Financial Closing and Reporting Process - We have not established an adequate control system for the preparation and revelation of financial information related to the process of the identification, classification and nature of non-routine, unusual transactions, inclusive of significant related party transactions and for policies related to management evaluation of certain accounting estimates, and the preparation of the statement of cash flows.
Significant related party transactions require adequate and frequent reconciliation in order to determine the appropriate recording in the financial statements.
| 21 |
Entity-Level Control - We have not established the proper design of Entity Level Controls which supports the effectiveness of the internal control of the financial reporting. Deficiencies in Entity Level Controls, will not assure the proper control environment for risk management and fraud.
Considering Information Technology General Controls (ITGC´s) are part of the Entity Level Control, we acknowledge that we have not established the design and effectiveness of these controls to prevent detect and correct errors or prevent frauds of the Information Technology.
Revenue Accounting - We have not developed an adequate internal control that includes the validation sources of information of fixed price contracts, which is one of the parameter required to apply the Percentage of Completion (POC) method.
Management’s Actions to Remediate Material Weaknesses
Management took the following steps to remediate some material weaknesses:
| 1. | Implementation of all the Information Technology General Controls. |
| 2. | Strengthened the internal control department by enrolling professionals with expertise in internal audit and USGAAP. |
| 3. | Implemented procedures and controls that allowed an accurate and reliable information related to revenue accounting such as projects information oversight and costs and sales prices updated recording. |
| 4. | Automated certain accounting processes that were calculated manually. |
| 5. | Developed procedures that improved the interim and annual review and reconciliation process for certain key balance sheet accounts such as accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, payables and debt. |
| 6. | Designed a formal training and education program under USGAAP for our international finance and accounting personnel considering relevant topics according to the company´s transactions (i.e. revenue recognition, inventories, long-lived assets, financial instruments, deferred taxes, hedge accounting, etc.). |
| 7. | Increased management oversight by creating a new Disclosure Committee comprised of senior managers with responsibility for responding to issues raised during the financial reporting process. |
Management’s Plan to Remediate Material Weaknesses
Management will be taking the following steps to remediate the remaining material weaknesses as follows:
| 1. | Currently assessing proposals from risk advisory firms for a loan staff structure in order to strengthen our internal control area that will expedite the implementation of COSO 2013 and SOX compliance. |
| 2. | Continue structuring internal controls for obtaining key automatized information related to revenue accounting, debt management and consolidation. |
| 3. | Hiring additional staff in accounting and creating a USGAAP & SEC Reporting team in the U.S. to implement a standard financial statement reporting process. |
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Tecnoglass S.A. is also a named defendant in in the matter of Diplomat Properties, Limited Partnership as assignee of Shower Concepts, Inc. v. Tecnoglass Colombia, S.A. in the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida. Plaintiff Diplomat Properties, Limited (“Diplomat”) has asserted a claim for indemnification against TG and Tecnoglass USA, Inc. The claim arises from the supplying of glass shower doors to a hotel/spa in Broward County, Florida. Specifically, in 2006, Diplomat commenced arbitration against Shower Concepts, Inc. seeking damages for breach of contract due to fractures in the installed glass shower doors. Diplomat initiated a complaint asserting various claims which were dismissed with prejudice. The only remaining claim against the Tecnoglass entities is common law indemnification. TG denies liability and asserts that Shower Concepts was at fault and that as a joint tort feasor, it cannot sue for indemnity. A trial date has not yet been set for this case. Management and TG’s counsel believes that a liability in this claim is remote and immaterial and there are no significant reasonably estimated amounts for a possible loss.
General Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
