Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Management's Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the Two-Year Period Ended December 31, 2014

 

Overview

 

This financial review presents our operating results for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and our financial condition at December 31, 2014. To supplement our 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. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements which are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We discuss such risks, uncertainties and other factors throughout this report and specifically under Item 1A of Part I of this report, “Risk Factors.” In addition, the following review should be read in conjunction with information presented in Part I, Item 1 – Business relating to non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as well as the information presented in our financial statements and the related notes to our financial statements.

 

Refer to Note 18 – Business Segments and Geographical Area information in our financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report for further information regarding our business segment structure.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

EBITDA

 

We define EBITDA as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA increased by total share based compensation included in net income or loss.

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.

 

We recognize that the usefulness of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an evaluative tool may have certain limitations, including:

 

    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money in order to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and impacts our ability to generate profits and cash flows. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense may have material limitations;
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense. Because we use capital assets, depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate profits. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation and amortization of other intangible assets expense may have material limitations;
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not include provision for income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary element of our costs, any measure that excludes income tax expense may have material limitations;
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
    EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and
    Adjusted EBITDA does not include share-based compensation expense.

 

See also to Part I, Item 1 – Business for more information on our Non-GAAP financial measures.

The following table presents selected financial and operating data derived from the audited financial statements of the Company as of the dates and for the periods indicated. In addition, the table presents our unaudited non-GAAP financial measures, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, and includes our reconciliation to net income or loss, its most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Sales

 

The following is a summary of sales for the years ending December 31:

 

                  2014                    2013 % Change
Foam $                      62,477,449 $                         61,080,736 2.3%
Coatings                         9,587,566                          10,096,235 -5.0%
  Total Sales $                      72,065,015 $                         71,176,971 1.2%

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, our total sales increased by $888,044, from $71,176,971 to $72,065,015, or an increase of 1.2% from the same period in 2013. Foam sales increased $1,396,713 primarily due to higher demand for our foams attributed to cost conscious residential and commercial building owners transitioning from traditional fiberglass insulation to energy efficient spray polyurethane foam, offset by a $508,669 decrease in coatings sales due to lower demand attributed to general market conditions.

Gross Profit

 

The following is a summary of gross profit for the years ending December 31:

 

                  2014                    2013 % Change
Cost of Sales $                       58,460,940 $                         56,152,602 4.1%
Gross Profit $                       13,604,075 $                         15,024,369 -9.5%
Gross Margin Percentage:      
   Foam 17.8% 19.6% -1.8%
   Coatings 25.6% 30.3% -4.7%
   Total 18.9% 21.1% -2.2%

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, our gross profit decreased by $1,420,294, from $15,024,369 to $13,604,075, or a decrease of 9.5% from the same period in 2013. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower gross profit in coatings as a result of lower coatings sales and an increase in raw material costs resulting in a decline of $460,995, additional freight expense of $334,306 related to an increase in domestic sales versus international sales in 2014 compared to 2013, higher freight rates resulting in additional expense of $613,538, and a net increase in manufacturing absorption of $297,556, partially offset by an increase in gross profit from foam of $286,101 as a result of increased sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $229,537 or 1.7%, to $13,259,920 in 2014, compared to $13,489,457 in 2013, primarily due to a $261,402 decrease in share-based compensation related to fully vested shares in connection with an advisory and consultant agreement, augmented by decreases in payroll and related employee benefits, distribution, and rents.

 

Professional fees decreased $160,784 or 14.9%, to $915,369 in 2014, compared to $1,076,153 in 2013, primarily due to the recovery of legal fees from our insurance companies and various settlements relating to litigation.

 

Depreciation expense decreased $7,963 or 4.6%, to $166,293 in 2014, compared to $174,256 in 2013, due to reductions in depreciable assets.

 

Amortization of other intangible assets expense decreased $145,600 or 34.3%, to $278,826 in 2014, compared to $424,426 in 2013, due to a decrease in amortizable assets including customer lists and trade names.

 

Consulting fees increased $22,716 or 4.8%, to $498,963 in 2014, compared to $476,247 in 2013, primarily due to an increase in the need for business consulting services for The AirTight Division.

 

Interest expense increased $100,114 or 9.2%, to $1,193,298 in 2014, compared to $1,093,184 in 2013, primarily due to a higher amount outstanding on the New Enhanced Note.

 

Interest expense – related party increased $56,317 or 7.5%, to $805,608 in 2014, compared to $749,291 in 2013, due to an increase in share based compensation classified as interest expense relating to restricted shares of common stock being issued to the Chairman of the Board in connection with his personal guarantees required on the New Enhanced Note

 

Interest expense – amortization of discount increased $171,747 or 1,605.6%, to $182,444 in 2014, compared to $10,697 in 2013, due to a full year amortization of the New Enhanced Note discount.

 

Other income, net increased $1,942 or 5.8%, to $35,697 in 2014, compared to $33,755 in 2013, due primarily to a favorable settlement relating to litigation, and gain on disposals of vehicles for more than book value.

 

Outlook for 2015

 

The Company’s outlook remains aggressive and positive, as we expect sales to grow globally to record levels in 2015 and beyond. Our optimism is based on growing global consumer awareness about energy efficient foams and coatings and reductions in energy costs. The markets for our products are highly competitive; however, we believe that our competitive advantages are rooted in our management, product formulations, credentials, approvals, performance, pricing, and technical customer service. In addition, we offer the flexibility, quality of products and responsiveness that a smaller more dynamic company can offer. This outlook is based on a number of assumptions relating to our business and operations which are subject to change, some of which are outside our control. Any variation in our assumptions may result in a change in this outlook.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We do not maintain any cash on hand by design. Instead, we maintain a $13 Million asset based revolver loan as part of our Loan Agreement with Bank of America (“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 available and swept over to reduce the Revolver Loan. Disbursements are paid daily from cash being made available under our Revolver Loan based on a borrowing base calculation prepared daily for funding.

Net cash used in operating activities was $997,146 in 2014 and $2,132,440 in 2013. The cash used in operations for 2014 as compared to 2013 was attributable to the net loss of $3,660,949 for the year, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash used in or provided by operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, decreases of $59,518 in depreciation due to a decrease in depreciable assets, $145,600 in amortization of other intangible assets due to a decrease in amortizable assets including customer lists and non-competes from previous acquisitions, and $261,403 in share-based compensation expense due to completion of vesting of shares originally granted by the Company pursuant to an advisory and consultant agreement, offset by increases of $91,697 in provision for losses due to an increase in customer insolvencies, $56,317 in interest expense due to the issuance of New Guaranty Shares being classified as interest expense, and $171,747 in interest expense due to the purchase discount being amortized over the life of the New Enhanced Note, which matures in December 2016. The foregoing was augmented by decreases of $153,910 in inventories, $101,035 in prepaid expenses and other current assets, and $287,575 in deposits and other non-current assets, and increases of $1,839,626 in trade receivables, $297,121 in other intangible assets, $18,411 in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, and $293,935 in accounts payable, and $301,765 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $144,096 in 2014 and $69,825 in 2013. We invested $207,191 in property, plant and equipment in 2014, of which $118,047 was for vehicles, $43,473 was for upgrades to our IT systems, $39,214 was for machinery and equipment related to our manufacturing facilities, and $6,457 was for computers and software. We disposed of certain assets for net proceeds of $63,095, all of which were vehicles. We invested $118,611 in property, plant and equipment in 2013, of which $64,633 was for vehicles, $3,090 was for office equipment, $30,050 was for computers and software upgrades, $16,022 was for machinery and equipment for our plant, and $4,816 was for leasehold improvements. We disposed of certain assets for net proceeds of $48,786, all of which were vehicles.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,141,242 in 2014 and $2,204,470 in 2013. In 2014, we borrowed a cumulative aggregate of $74,459,796 and made principal repayments for a cumulative aggregate of $74,563,955 under our Revolver Loan, $250,000 from our Chairman of the Board, and $4,599 on our long term debt primarily related to financed vehicles. In 2013, we borrowed a cumulative aggregate of $81,608,230 under our Revolver Loan, and an aggregate of $7,200,000 under our New Enhanced Note, of which $3,214,003 was refinanced from the Note Purchase Agreement with Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund LP dated June 29, 2012 (“Prior Enhanced Note”), and made principal repayments for a cumulative aggregate of $82,101,515 under our Revolver Loan, an aggregate of $4,337,334 under our Prior Enhanced Note, and $20,911 on our long term debt primarily related to financed vehicles. We had a net working capital of $6,572,046 in 2014 and $6,210,711 in 2013. Our current assets were approximately 1.8 times our current liabilities in 2014 and 2013. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,754,601 and $1,761,427, respectively.

 

Management believes that any cash generated from operations and the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations which may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, 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 accredited sophisticated investors 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.

 

Credit Agreements and Other Debt

 

On September 1, 2010, we entered into our Loan Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., which, as amended from time to time, provides for our $13,000,000 Revolver Loan. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $5,435,005 and $4,539,163 respectively. 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) The amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan may not exceed the borrowing base (calculation defined as an amount determined by a detailed calculation and includes an amount equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 55% of eligible inventory); (iii) Maintain an FCCR, tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month for the twelve month period then ended, of at least 1.0 to 1.0, and (iv) Maintain minimum liquidity of $500,000. The Company is required to submit its borrowing base calculation to Bank of America 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 future borrowing base calculations do not increase to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan, Bank of America, in its sole discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our Loan Agreement and debt covenants.

 

On December 10, 2013, we entered into our New Enhanced Note with Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC and Enhanced Credit Supported Loan Fund, LP, which, as amended from time to time, provided us with an aggregate of $7.2 Million in cash to refinance the remaining $3,346,762 balance outstanding on December 10, 2013 on our prior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2012 entered into with Enhanced Jobs For Texas Fund, LLC and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund LP (“Prior Enhanced Note”)(under the Prior Enhanced Note, we borrowed an aggregate of $4.4 Million under subordinated secured variable rate notes due June 29, 2014, of which $2.2 Million was with Enhanced Jobs For Texas Fund, LLC and $2.2 Million was from Enhanced Capital Texas Fund LP Enhanced Texas), and increase our working capital for the remaining difference. Repayment of the $7.2 Million is required on the maturity date of December 10, 2016. 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 4.25% (increased from 3.75% to 4.25% by amendment on November 14, 2014)(which is added to the principal balance of the outstanding notes) to create the aggregate interest rate of 11.5%. The Company has the right to prepay the New Enhanced Note, subject to a prepayment premium equal to 3% for the first year or 2% for the second year. The Company also entered into a security agreement with the New Enhanced Note providing for a second lien on all assets of the Company after Bank of America, which has a first lien on all asset of the Company. The Company has four material debt covenants to comply with relating to its New Enhanced Note: (i) Capital expenditures are limited to $625,000 on an annual basis, (ii) A minimum Adjusted EBITDA which cannot, for the three (3) months ending on the last day of each month set forth in a schedule, be less than the corresponding amount set forth in the schedule for such period, (iii) Maintain an 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 at least 1.0 to 1.0, and (iv) Maintain minimum liquidity equal of $500,000. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with our New Enhanced Note and debt covenants.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The accounting policies that we believe require more significant estimates and assumptions include: the valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, and allowances for doubtful accounts. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Our actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. There have been no material changes to these estimates for the periods presented in this Annual Report.

 

We believe that of our significant accounting policies, which are described below in this Item 7, and in Note 1 to our audited financial statements, of this Annual Report, the following accounting policies involve a greater degree of judgment and complexity. Accordingly, these are the policies we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations.

 

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 December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company operates two reporting units, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 8 to our audited 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 of reportable unit to their estimated fair values. The annual evaluation is performed as of the last day of a calendar year or December 31, and the most recent evaluation of goodwill impairment was performed on December 31, 2014. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill. Management uses the income approach to estimate the fair market value of reporting units based on expected future economic benefits. This approach serves to estimate the value of the specific income stream with consideration given to the risk inherent in that income stream. The income approach is most relevant when valuing an equity interest that is based on the premise that Lapolla is considered a going concern or a viable business for the foreseeable future. Lapolla used the discounted cash flow method under the income approach in its analysis. In applying the discounted cash flow method, Lapolla identified the level of cash flow estimated for five years. The annual estimated cash flows and terminal value were then discounted to present value, at an appropriate discount rate, to arrive to the indication of fair market value for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized reflected the estimate of investor-required rates of return for investments that are seen as similar to an investment in similarly situated companies like Lapolla. The assumptions were consistent with those utilized in the Company’s operating plan and long term financial planning process and considered historical experience and current and future expected market and industry conditions. Management judgment is required in the determination of each assumption used in the valuation model, and actual results could differ from the estimates. Upon completion of the 2014 and 2013 annual impairment assessments, the Company determined no impairment was indicated as the estimated fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeded its respective carrying value.

 

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company had other intangible assets consisting of product formulations, and trade names that were acquired as part of business combinations, and trademarks and approvals and certifications obtained as part of entering into new markets. 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. Impairment testing of the assets 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 an asset, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset is being used or in its physical condition, a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset, or changes in the expected useful life of the asset. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by that asset is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset’s fair value and its carrying value. An estimate of the asset’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. The assumptions used during 2013 and 2014 were consistent with those utilized in the Company’s operating plan and long term financial planning process and considered historical experience and current and future expected market and industry conditions. Management judgment is required in the determination of each assumption used in the valuation model, and actual results could differ from the estimates. There were no long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

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, including credit insurance and other security when applicable, 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 $617,000 and $317,000 at December 31, 2014 and 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Lapolla Industries, Inc.

Houston, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Lapolla Industries, Inc. listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

However, application of the critical accounting policies discussed below requires management’s significant judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

 

Organization History

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989. The Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Co., Inc.), a Florida corporation, effective September 1, 2001, which was engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling, and distributing primarily acrylic roof coatings and polyurethane foam systems in the Southeastern United States (“Infiniti”). During the latter part of 2004, Infiniti built and began operating an acrylic roof coatings manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States. On February 11, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Lapolla Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Lapolla AZ”), which was engaged in the business of manufacturing acrylic roof coatings and sealants, and distributing polyurethane foam systems in the Southwestern United States. On April 1, 2005, Infiniti merged with and into Lapolla AZ whereas the existence of Infiniti ceased. On October 1, 2005, Lapolla AZ merged with and into the Company, under its former name of IFT Corporation, whereas the existence of Lapolla AZ ceased. On November 8, 2005, the Company changed its name to Lapolla Industries, Inc. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not affect net loss.

 

Trade Receivables and Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company’s customers consist primarily of contractors and distributors. Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations, including personal guarantees when obtainable, due under normal trade terms which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and many customers do not pay within stated trade terms. The Company has trade receivables from a diverse customer base. The Company has a credit insurance policy in place covering most customer account balances. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers’ financial position and monitors accounts on a regular basis. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of collectability of accounts. No customer represented more than 10% of sales for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. No customer represented more than 10% of trade receivables at December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

Note Receivable

 

The Company presents note receivables, net of reserves for losses, to ensure note receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible amounts. Reserves, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of the specific note, including other security when applicable, and an estimation of the credit worthiness of the debtor. Total note receivables were approximately $-0- and $473,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The reserve for losses was approximately $-0- and $237,000 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. According to GAAP, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment, on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the associated reporting unit to its carrying value. GAAP also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment, unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which requires the disclosure of the fair value of off-and-on balance sheet financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes), approximate the carrying values of such amounts. The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: (a) Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. (b) Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and (c) Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. The Company had no Level 1, 2, or 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and other payables and accruals approximate fair value due to short period of time to maturity.

 

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in legal proceedings. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash, checks, and credit card and ACH payments deposited with financial institutions to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Cost is determined on an actual and/or standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method using a perpetual inventory system. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (replacement cost), which does not exceed net realizable value.

 

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 $24.6 Million and $22.7 Million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company's federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2013. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $24.6 Million and $22.7 Million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, reducing its net carrying value to zero. The Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. Accordingly, the annual effective tax rate is unaffected. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively. At December 31, 2014, the Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits for the year. There was no accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at December 31, 2014. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

 

Depreciable Lives of 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. Economic useful life is the duration of time an asset is expected to be productively employed by the Company, which may be less than its physical life. Assumptions on the following factors, among others, affect the determination of estimated economic useful life: wear and tear, obsolescence, technical standards, contract life, market demand, competitive position, raw material availability, and geographic location. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. For example, changes in technology and changes in the estimated future demand for products may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In these cases, we would depreciate the remaining net book value over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $1,364,613 and depreciation expense totaled $394,309 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $1,600,679 and depreciation expense totaled $453,827 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

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. There were no property, plant and equipment impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

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 December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company operates two reporting units, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 8 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 of reportable unit to their estimated fair values. The annual evaluation is performed as of the last day of a calendar year or December 31, and the most recent evaluation of goodwill impairment was performed on December 31, 2014. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill. Management uses the income approach to estimate the fair market value of reporting units based on expected future economic benefits. This approach serves to estimate the value of the specific income stream with consideration given to the risk inherent in that income stream. The income approach is most relevant when valuing an equity interest that is based on the premise that Lapolla is considered a going concern or a viable business for the foreseeable future. Lapolla used the discounted cash flow method under the income approach in its analysis. In applying the discounted cash flow method, Lapolla identified the level of cash flow estimated for five years. The annual estimated cash flows and terminal value were then discounted to present value, at an appropriate discount rate, to arrive to the indication of fair market value for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized reflected the estimate of investor-required rates of return for investments that are seen as similar to an investment in similarly situated companies like Lapolla. The assumptions were consistent with those utilized in the Company’s operating plan and long term financial planning process and considered historical experience and current and future expected market and industry conditions. Management judgment is required in the determination of each assumption used in the valuation model, and actual results could differ from the estimates. Upon completion of the 2014 and 2013 annual impairment assessments, the Company determined no impairment was indicated as the estimated fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeded its respective carrying value.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company had other intangible assets, net of $1,183,452 and $1,165,157 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisting of product formulations, and trade names that were acquired as part of business combinations, and trademarks and approvals and certifications obtained as part of entering into new markets. Amortization of other intangible assets totaled $278,826 and $424,426 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. 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 8 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. There were no long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 or 2013.

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

 

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. Irrespective of the sales channel, returns and allowances are not a business practice in the industry. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues (freight). Freight included in revenue was $998,803 and $1,106,250 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Freight included in cost of sales was $4,441,402 and $3,493,579 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs related to both future and present products are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for 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 Black-Scholes valuation model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Employee stock option exercise behavior is based on actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options. The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates are subject to revision in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates and changes impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Disclosures related to share-based compensation are included in Note 17 to our financial statements. Share-based compensation expense was $1,058,327 and $1,319,730 in 2014 and 2013, respectively. If additional share based awards are granted, financial performance may be negatively affected, and if outstanding share based awards are forfeited or canceled, resulting in non-vesting of such stock awards, financial performance may be positively affected. In either instance, the Company’s financial performance may change depending on share based 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, including credit insurance and other security when applicable, 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 $617,000 and $317,000 at December 31, 2014 and 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.

 

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Costs

 

The Cost of Sales line item includes all the material, overhead, packaging, and freight costs associated with products shipped, including resale finished goods and raw materials, as well as payroll costs associated with manufacturing the finished goods, inbound freight, sales tax expense, product containers, labels, and other miscellaneous items that are indirectly used in the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping (outbound freight) of finished goods, including inspection, and internal transfer costs, as well as depreciation of machinery, amortization of approvals and certifications, and an allocated portion of overhead. The Selling, General and Administrative line item includes selling, advertising, marketing, customer service, and technical support, as well as the costs of providing corporate functional support for all other areas of our business.

 

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

 

Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Expenditures for certain advertising and marketing activities related to trade shows and trade magazines 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. There were $168,817 and $-0- costs for advertising deferred on the Company’s balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Other advertising and marketing expenditures that do not meet the deferred criteria are expensed when the advertising and marketing occurs. Total advertising and marketing costs expensed were approximately $982,000 and $965,000 in 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs, which are included in the Company’s balance sheets. These costs are amortized over the term of the financial instrument. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in “Interest Expense” in the statements of operations.

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 exercise of stock options and warrants only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. Disclosures related to net income (loss) per common share are included in Note 13 to our financial statements.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. Under this guidance, an entity should recognize the CTA in earnings based on meeting certain criteria, including when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity or upon a sale or transfer that results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resides. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In July 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry-forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

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 financial statements.

 

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 financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, “Compensation — Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period".  The standard requires that a performance target that affects vesting of share-based payments and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition that affects vesting and as such, should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award.  The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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 financial statements and related disclosures.

(a) Loan and Security Agreement. The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A., effective September 1, 2010 (“Loan Agreement”), as amended from time to time, under which Bank of America agreed to a $13,000,000 revolver loan, which matures on March 31, 2016 ("Revolver Loan"). The Company granted Bank of America a continuing security interest in and lien upon all Company assets. 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 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) The amount outstanding under the revolver Loan may not exceed the Borrowing Base (calculation defined as an amount determined by a detailed calculation and includes an amount equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 55% of eligible inventory); (iii) Maintain an FCCR, tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month for the twelve month period then ended, of at least 1.0 to 1.0, and (iv) Maintain minimum liquidity of $500,000. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to Bank of America 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 future Borrowing Base calculations do not increase to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan, Bank of America, in its sole discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $5,435,005 and $4,539,163, and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.3% and 4.5%, respectively. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,754,601 and $1,761,427, respectively. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our Loan Agreement debt covenants. See also Note 19 – Subsequent Events, Item (d) for more information.

 

(b) Note Purchase Agreements.

 

(i) New Enhanced Note. The Company entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs”) and Enhanced Credit Supported Loan Fund, LP (“Enhanced Credit”), on December 10, 2013, authorizing the issuance of an aggregate of $7.2 Million in Subordinated Secured Promissory Notes maturing December 10, 2016 (“New Enhanced Note”), of which $5.7 Million was to Enhanced Credit and $1.5 Million was to Enhanced Jobs. Repayment of the $7.2 Million is required on the maturity date of December 10, 2016. 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 4.25% (which is added to the principal balance of the outstanding notes) to create the aggregate interest rate of 15%. The Company has the right to prepay the New Enhanced Note, subject to a prepayment premium equal to 3% for the first year or 2% for the second year. The Company also entered into a security agreement with the New Enhanced Note providing for a second lien on all assets of the Company after Bank of America, which has a first lien on all assets of the Company. The Company has four material debt covenants to comply with relating to its New Enhanced Note: (i) Capital expenditures are limited to $625,000 on an annual basis, (ii) A minimum [Adjusted] EBITDA, which cannot for the three (3) months ending on the last day of each month set forth in a schedule, be less than the corresponding amount set forth in the schedule for such period, (iii) Maintain an 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 minimum ratio set forth in the schedule for such month, and (iv) Maintain minimum liquidity of $500,000. Based on a Prior Enhanced Note being refinanced in connection with the New Enhanced Note (Refer to (iii) below), due to the effective interest rate on the refinanced balance of the Prior Enhanced Note being higher than the New Enhanced Note, a gain on extinguishment of debt resulted. The New Enhanced Note was recorded at fair value on December 10, 2013, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $398,886, a write off of $45,512 for old debt issuance costs, and a purchase discount of $542,886 which 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 December 31, 2014, the balance outstanding on the New Enhanced Note was $7,157,852 and the effective interest rate was 23.6%. At December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our New Enhanced Note debt covenants.

 

(ii) New Guaranty Agreement. In connection with the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above, the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of the Company (the “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 Guarantor’s personal guarantee of the obligations under the New Enhanced Note, granted Guarantor 3,681,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, 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, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets on the day preceding the closing date of December 10, 2013, for an aggregate amount 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 December 31, 2014, there were 1,298,584 New Guaranty Shares vested, valued and recorded at $779,151.

 

(iii) Prior Enhanced Note. Upon receipt of the $7.2 Million under the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above, 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 For Texas Fund, LLC (“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 Texas (“Prior Enhanced Note”), and all related agreements, including but not limited to the Prior Enhanced Note, security agreement, and Prior Guaranty Agreement each dated June 29, 2012, were terminated. Under the Prior Enhanced Note, Enhanced Jobs and Enhanced Capital agreed to loan $4.4 Million under subordinated secured variable rate notes due June 29, 2014, of which $2.2 Million was with Enhanced Jobs and $2.2 Million was with Enhanced Texas (collectively, “Prior Enhanced Note”). At December 31, 2014, the balance outstanding on the Prior Enhanced Note was $-0-.

The Company also undertook to grant the additional 850,000 stock options (to make up for the total 2,000,000 stock options) in January 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). The transaction was valued at $199,683, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed on date of grant.

Legal Proceedings.

 

(a)Neil and Kristine Markey, et al., Plaintiffs v. Lapolla Industries, Inc., Delfino Insulation, et al, Defendants

 

A complaint initially entitled Neil and Kristine Markey, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, vs. Lapolla industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Lapolla International, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and Delfino Insulation Company, Inc., a New York Corporation, Defendants, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and served on or about October 10, 2012 and amended last on November 11, 2013.  Plaintiffs brought this lawsuit only individually, having amended out any request for a class action. The complaint alleged, among other things, that Lapolla designed, labeled, distributed, and manufactured spray polyurethane foam insulation, which created a highly toxic compound when applied as insulation resulting in exposure to harmful gases. Plaintiffs sought: actual, compensatory, and punitive damages; injunctive relief; and attorney fees. Lapolla considered the allegations to be without merit and vigorously defended the allegations. On February 4, 2015, the Court dismissed the litigation with prejudice, per the voluntary request of Plaintiffs upon the advice of their new counsel and after their original litigation counsel withdrew citing irreconcilable differences with the Plaintiffs.  The Court retained jurisdiction to address a pending motion for sanctions filed by Lapolla.  The primary basis for Lapolla’s motion for sanctions is the Plaintiffs’ and their original attorney’s filing of the lawsuit without sufficient factual basis for the claims of personal injury and for failing to comply with discovery obligations to produce numerous potentially dispositive documents that Plaintiffs knew existed and their original counsel either knew or should have known existed.  Lapolla seeks to recover over $700,000 in legal fees for the defense of the lawsuit. The final outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

(b)Great American E & S Insurance Company, Plaintiff v. Lapolla Industries, Inc., Defendant

 

Great American E & S Insurance Company filed a Petition for Declaratory Judgment against Lapolla Industries, Inc. in the Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas on July 13, 2013 and served on or about July 21, 2013. The petition seeks a declaratory Judgment that Plaintiff has no duty to defend or indemnify Lapolla under a general liability policy issued to Lapolla with respect to, among other things, contamination claims asserted in the Gibson Litigation. The Gibson Litigation alleges, among other things, that Lapolla’s proprietary spray polyurethane foam is a defective and toxic substance creating irritants which cause damages to the persons in the homes in which the spray polyurethane foam is applied. In addition to describing the terms of the insurance policy, Plaintiff alleges that the insurance of Lapolla under the policy excludes and does not apply to, among other things, damages from pollution, pre-existing damages known to Lapolla for products manufactured, distributed, or sold by Lapolla, or any damage to Lapolla’s product, or repair of Lapolla’s product, and seeks reasonable attorney fees.  On January 9, 2014, the trial court denied Plaintiff’s Motion for Final Summary Judgment, which sought a final declaration that Plaintiff had no duty to defend in the Gibson Litigation.  On March 4, 2015, the court granted a final summary judgment in favor of Lapolla, finding that Great American had a duty to defend Lapolla in the federal Gibson case (which was dismissed and refiled as a state case – see (c) below), and awarded approximately $40,000 in attorney’s fees to Lapolla and contingent attorney’s fees in the event of an appeal. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

Plaintiffs seek, among other things: actual, compensatory, statutory, and punitive damages; injunctive relief; medical monitoring, and attorney fees. Lapolla considers the allegations to be without merit and is vigorously defending the allegations. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

Commaroto, and Gretchen Schlegel filed an amended complaint against Lapolla also asserting the spray polyurethane foam is a defective product.  Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, punitive damages, and attorney’s fees, among other relief.

Lapolla considers the allegations to be without merit and is seeking declaration from the court that Evanston does have a duty to defend and indemnify Lapolla. The court ruled on the summary judgment motions on February 23, 2015, finding that Great American had no duty to defend.  The Court signed a final judgment on March 18, 2015.  The final outcome, including any appeals, of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

(g) Various Lawsuits and Claims Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

 

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, which are, in our opinion, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

 

Note 15. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic and Diluted.

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalents were not considered in calculating diluted net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended:

 

   2014  2013
Net loss available to common shareholders (A)  $(3,660,949)  $(1,971,045)
Weighted average common shares outstanding (B)   115,359,714    111,449,320 
Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans   880,000    4,740,000 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution (C)   116,066,620    111,870,040 
Basic earnings per common share (A)/(B)  $(0.03)  $(0.02)
Diluted earnings per common share (A)/(C)  $(0.03)  $(0.02)

 

For 2014, a total of 4,140,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, of which: (a) 3,260,000 shares were for outstanding, vested and exercisable stock options that had an exercise price greater than the market value of the common share as of the period then ended (“out-of-the-money”), and (b) 880,000 shares were for outstanding, vested and exercisable stock options that had an exercise price equal to or lesser than the market value of the common share as of the period then ended (“in-the-money”). For 2013, a total of 4,740,000 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, all of which shares were for outstanding, vested, and exercisable in-the-money stock options. Outstanding, vested and exercisable out-of-the money stock options 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, and outstanding, vested and exercisable in-the-money stock options could be included in the calculation in the future if the Company reports a profit.

 

 

Note 16. Securities Transactions.

 

(a) During 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 347,972 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $214,113 for advisory and consulting services.

 

(b) During 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,224,763 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $734,858 classified as interest expense – related party pursuant to a guaranty made in connection with a financing.

 

(c) During 2014, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, for a stock bonus to an executive officer, employee, which transaction was valued and recorded at $25,000.

 

(d) During 2014, the Company issued 3,908,453 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, in exchange for the cancellation of $1,485,212 of debt.

 

(e) During 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 160,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $104,000 for continuing Board of Directors services under the Director Plan.

Note 17. Share–Based Payment Arrangements.

 

The Company reports share-based compensation arrangements using a straight-line fair valuation model for stock awards and Black-Scholes fair valuation model for option awards to calculate compensation expense over the requisite service period of grants. At December 31, 2014, the Company had four share based compensation plans, including the Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”), Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan ("Director Plan"), Advisory and Consulting Agreement Plan (“Advisor Plan”), and Guaranty Agreement Plans (“Guaranty Plans”) in effect. Compensation cost charged against income for all compensation and incentive plans for 2014 and 2013 was $1,826,051 and $1,998,426, respectively.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s Equity Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock awards to eligible participants for up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants performing services for the Company and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. The Equity Plan provides financial performance measures upon which specific performance goals would be based and limits on the numbers of shares or compensation that could be made. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Stock awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation model and spread over the requisite service period.

 

For 2014, there was an aggregate of 5,417,500 awards granted to directors, officers, and key employees, of which 5,317,500 were for options and 100,000 were for stock awards. For 2013, there were no option or stock awards granted. As of December 31, 2014, total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $2,605,910, which is expected to be recognized over 2.42 years after December 31, 2014 (29 months on a weighted-average basis). As of December 31, 2013, total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $-0-. There were 2,622,500 shares issuable and available for grant at December 31, 2014. Stock option activity under the Company’s Equity Plan as of the years ended December 31, is summarized below:

Warrants

 

The Company did not issue any warrants during 2014 or 2013. During 2007 and 2008, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,500,000 detachable warrants in connection with mezzanine style credit instruments, which were modified and re-priced from time to time based on anti-dilution down round price protections, all of which expired in 2013. As a result, there were no warrants outstanding as of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Director Plan

 

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Director Plan, which is not shareholder-approved, that permits the grant of up to 800,000 shares of restricted common stock to non-employee directors in 2010. Effective July 1, 2010, the Board granted 800,000 shares of restricted common stock to four non-employee directors, of which 100,000 was granted to Mr. Gregg, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Larson, and 500,000 was granted to Mr. Nadel. All stock grants vest over a four-and-a-half year period, with one-fifth vesting at the end of each year beginning in 2010, for serving on the Board of Directors. The Company does not consider the shares of restricted common stock granted under the Director Plan as outstanding at the time of grant due to vesting restrictions. The shares of restricted common stock when granted are held in reserve by the Company until such time that they are earned and vested, after which the Company issues the vested portion of the shares and delivers them to the respective directors. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were -0- and 160,000 shares of restricted common stock unvested, respectively. The compensation cost charged against income for the Director Plan in 2014 and 2013 was $104,000 and $104,000, respectively. The fair value of each award was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the grant, which was $.65 per share, for an aggregate amount of $520,000. The Company is using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for attribution of compensation expense. The expected term of the awards is the last day on which the last increment of stock is scheduled to vest, or December 31, 2014. A summary of awards activity under the Director Plan at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and changes during the year then ended, are as follows:

 

   2014  2013
   Number  Weighted-Average  Number  Weighted-Average

Advisor Plan

 

The Company and a non-employee director, Jay C. Nadel, entered into an advisory and consultant agreement for 3 years on February 22, 2011 (“Nadel Agreement”). The Company granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which vest monthly over 3 years. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company's common stock of $.57 per share on the date of grant and multiplying it by the number of shares granted, equaling $2,850,000. The Advisor Plan includes anti-dilution aspects. For 2014, anti-dilution transactions occurred, which required the Company to grant and vest an additional 110,733 shares of restricted common stock. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the anti-dilution dates for a weighted-average of approximately $0.58 per share and multiplying it by the number of shares granted, equaling $63,893. For 2013, anti-dilution transactions occurred, which required the Company to grant and vest an additional 272,969 shares of restricted common stock. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the anti-dilution dates for a weighted-average of approximately $0.35 per share and multiplying it by the number of shares granted, equaling $96,560. A summary of awards activity under the Advisor Plan at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and changes during the years then ended, are as follows:

Refer to Note 11 – Financing Instruments, Items (b)(i) – New Enhanced Note and (b)(iii) – Prior Enhanced Note for information on the financial instruments.

 

New Guaranty Plan

 

The Company granted 3,681,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, 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, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets on the day preceding the closing date of December 10, 2013, for an aggregate amount 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. A summary of grant activity under the New Guaranty Plan at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and changes during the years then ended, are:

As of December 31, 2014, there is $1,367,037 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested interest expense – related party arrangement granted under the New Guaranty Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.95 years.

 

Prior Guaranty Plan

 

The Company previously granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which shares were vesting monthly on a pro rata basis over the two year term of the Prior Enhanced Note (“Prior Guaranty Shares”). The Prior Guaranty Shares were valued at $.27 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets on the day preceding the closing date of June 29, 2012, for an aggregate amount 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. As a result of the payoff of the Prior Enhanced Notes, 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 that was paid off earlier than the maturity date of June 29, 2014.

Business Segments

 

The Company is a leading United States based manufacturer and global supplier operating two segments: Foam and Coatings. The Company’s segments are organized based on manufacturing competencies.

 

Foam. The Foam segment primarily supplies both roofing and building envelope insulation applications. Roofing applications consist of foam and coatings systems in new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications. Insulation is used in commercial and industrial, as well as residential, applications. We manufacture our own roofing and wall insulation foams. Additionally, this segment also supplies polyurethane as an adhesive for board stock insulation to roofing substrates for commercial and industrial applications, sundry items, and application equipment.

 

Coatings. The Coatings segment primarily supplies a variety of protective coatings for roofing systems for new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications, as well as residential, applications. Additionally, this segment also supplies caulking for general application in the construction industry, and sundry items. We manufacture our own roof coatings.

 

Spray Rigs. Spray Rigs are an integral part of our business insofar that they are required for the application of our foam and used for large scale coating jobs. We began making and selling our own spray rigs during 2008. This is a basic assembly operation and we undertake this task to provide turnkey service to our customers. We allocate sales amounts for Spray Rigs to either our foam or coatings segments, as applicable.

 

The AirTight Division. The AirTight Division involves application of interior insulation foams that we produce and installation of other energy reducing products in multi-family properties by subcontractors hired by the Company on a limited basis. We allocate sales amounts for The AirTight Division to our foam segment.

 

The Company maintains centralized manufacturing and spray rig building operations in Houston, Texas. Each of the businesses in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive. However, diversification of products within these segments and national, including limited international, markets served tends to minimize the impact on the Company’s total sales and earnings of changes in demand for a particular product. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1. The Company allocates resources to segments and evaluates the performance of segments based upon reported segment income before income taxes. A substantial amount of administrative expenses are allocated to the segments. The portion not allocated to the segments represents the unallocated cost of certain corporate expenses and are included in Unallocated Amounts. There are no intersegment sales or transfers. The following are selected results of reportable segments:

(b) On January 16, 2015, the Company granted Douglas J. Kramer, CEO and President, the right to acquire 850,000 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 $0.325 per share, which options were immediately vested and exercisable at the time of grant (“Kramer Option”). The foregoing Kramer Option was granted as final replacement for 2,000,000 stock options 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 an 8 year life limitation under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Equity Plan”), they were deemed canceled at the end of 8 years. Moreover, the Equity Plan only permits the grant of a total of 2,000,000 stock options during any calendar year. Mr. Kramer had exceeded this limit during the 2014 year and as a result, the Company was only able to grant Mr. Kramer 1,150,000 stock options during the 2014 year as partial replacement for the 2,000,000 Prior Expired Options. The transaction was valued at $86,147, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and expensed on date of grant.

 

(c) On January 16, 2015, the Company granted an eight-year stock option to Michael T. Adams, CGO, EVP, and Corporate Secretary, for 300,000 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 date of grant, determined based on the closing price on such date, or $0.325 per share (“1/16/15 Adams Option”). The foregoing stock options vest in three equal end of calendar year increments, subject to Mr. Adams meeting certain performance criteria, commencing on December 31, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, or upon consummation of a change in control. Once vested, the stock options are immediately exercisable. The transaction was valued at $93,536, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be expensed over the requisite vesting period.

 

(d) On January 23, 2015, the Company and Bank of America, N.A. entered into a Twelfth Amendment (the “Twelfth Amendment”) to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated August 31, 2010, as amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement”). Pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment, certain definitions were changed and a new definition was added in the Loan Agreement as follows: (1) Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio was changed to the ratio, determined for any period on a consolidated basis for the Company, of (a) the sum of (i) EBITDA, (ii) Subordinated Debt incurred during such period on or after August 31, 2014 (other than the Twelfth Amendment Subordinated Debt), and (iii) up to $267,000 in Accounts charged off by the Company in August, 2014, to (b) the sum of Capital Expenditures (except those financed with Borrowed Money other than Revolver Loans), cash taxes paid, interest expense (other than payment-in-kind), principal payments made on Borrowed Money other than Revolver Loans, excluding (solely) principal payments made on the Subordinated Term Debt due December 1, 2013, in an amount not exceeding $150,000, and Distributions made, in each case determined for such period; (2) Revolver Termination Date was changed (extended) to March 31, 2016; and (3) Twelfth Amendment Subordinated Debt was added defining Subordinated Debt loaned to the Company by Richard Kurtz in an amount at least equal to $250,000, required as a condition to the effectiveness of the Twelfth Amendment. Refer to Item (i) below for more information on the Subordinated Debt.

 

(e) On January 21, 2015, the Company borrowed $250,000 from the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder as a condition precedent to entering into the Twelfth Amendment and entered into a promissory note (the “1/21/15 Kurtz Note”). Pursuant the 1/21/15 Kurtz Note, the Company agreed to pay eight percent (8%) per annum on the principal balance of $250,000 and repay the principle balance on June 10, 2017. The 1/21/15 Kurtz Note is subordinated to the Loan Agreement and New Enhanced Note. See also Item (h) above.

 

(f) On March 23, 2015, the Company granted an eight-year stock option to Harvey L. Schnitzer, COO, for 300,000 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 date of grant, determined based on the closing price on such date, or $0.41 per share (“3/23/15 Schnitzer Option”). The foregoing stock options vest in three equal end of calendar year increments, subject to Mr. Schnitzer meeting certain performance criteria, commencing on December 31, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017, or upon consummation of a change in control. Once vested, the stock options are immediately exercisable. The transaction was valued at $118,122, which was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and will be expensed over the requisite vesting period.
