NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ATRM Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. References in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements to “ATRM,” “the Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context otherwise requires, refer to ATRM Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries and their respective predecessors. Our modular housing business, which we acquired in 2014, is operated by our wholly-owned subsidiaries KBS Builders, Inc. and Maine Modular Haulers, Inc. (collectively referred to as “KBS”).

 

The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from our audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full year or any future period.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to such rules and regulations. Therefore, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

 

2. FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

We have incurred significant operating losses in recent years and, as of June 30, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $76 million. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient revenue in the future to cover our expenses and achieve profitability on a consistent basis or at all.

 

We issued various unsecured promissory notes to finance our acquisition of KBS in 2014 and to provide for our general working capital needs since the acquisition (see Notes 11 and 12). On February 23, 2016, as described in Note 11, we entered into a loan and security agreement with Gerber Finance Inc. (“Gerber Finance”) that provides KBS with a revolving line of credit with borrowing availability of up to $4.0 million (the “Loan Agreement”). As of June 30, 2016, we had outstanding debt totaling approximately $13.0 million. This debt included $3.3 million (net of deferred financing costs) owed under a line of credit with Gerber Finance under the Loan Agreement and $1.2 million principal amount outstanding under an unsecured promissory note issued to the primary seller of KBS. Our debt also included $4.0 million principal amount of a promissory note issued to Lone Star Value Investors, LP (“LSVI”) and $4.5 million principal amount of promissory notes issued to Lone Star Value Co-Invest I, LP (“LSV Co-Invest I”). Interest on these notes is payable semiannually and any unpaid principal and interest is due on April 1, 2019.

 

The Company received a waiver from LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I with respect to the Company’s interest payments under the LSVI and the LSV Co-Invest I promissory notes due on July 5, 2016, totaling approximately $445,000, permitting the Company to make these payments at any time on or before August 31, 2016. On August 12, 2016, the Company and LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I amended the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I promissory notes allowing the Company, at its sole option, to elect to make any interest payment in-kind (“PIK Interest”) at an annual rate of 12% (versus the 10% interest rate applied to cash payments) for that period. As of August 12, 2016, the Company has elected the PIK Interest option for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 now due on August 31, 2016. As a result, interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016, totaling $534,000 (calculated at the PIK Interest rate of 12%), includes the incremental interest expense of approximately $89,000.

Jeffrey E. Eberwein, our Chairman of our Board of Directors, is the manager of Lone Star Value Investors GP, LLC (“LSVGP”), the general partner of LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I, and sole member of Lone Star Value Management, LLC (“LSVM”), the investment manager of LSVI.

 

We intend to pursue new financing at the parent company level to replace all or a portion of the debt owing to LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I and to provide for our general working capital needs. There can be no assurance we will be successful in obtaining such financing on terms favorable to us or at all. Until such time as we obtain additional financing, ATRM may be dependent on LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I, or other third parties, to provide for our general working capital needs. Although not a binding commitment, LSVM has advised us of its present intention to continue to financially support the Company as we pursue new financing.

 

There can be no assurance that our existing cash reserves, together with funds generated by our operations, borrowings available under the Loan Agreement and any future financings, will be sufficient to satisfy our debt payment obligations. Our inability to generate funds or obtain financing sufficient to satisfy our debt payment obligations may result in such obligations being accelerated by our lenders, which would likely have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Given these uncertainties, there can be no assurance that our existing cash reserves will be sufficient to avoid liquidity issues and/or fund operations beyond this fiscal year.

 

3. RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). The amendments in this guidance require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which allows for the presentation of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as either a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability in accordance with ASU 2015-03, or as an asset with subsequent amortization of the debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the arrangement. As required, ATRM adopted these updates effective January 1, 2016 and elected to present the deferred financing costs associated with the Loan Agreement as a deduction from the carrying amount of such debt.

11. NOTES PAYABLE

 

On February 23, 2016, ATRM and KBS entered into the Loan Agreement with Gerber Finance, providing KBS with a revolving line of credit with borrowing availability of up to $4.0 million. The initial term of the Loan Agreement expires on February 22, 2018, but extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless a party provides prior written notice of termination. Availability under the line of credit is based on a formula tied to KBS’s eligible accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and real estate. Borrowings bear interest at the prime rate plus 2.75%, with interest payable monthly. The outstanding principal balance is payable upon expiration of the term of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for certain fees payable to the Lender during its term. KBS’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by all of its property and assets and are guaranteed by ATRM. Unsecured promissory notes issued by KBS and ATRM are subordinate to KBS’s obligations under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement contains representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, events of default and other provisions customary for financings of this type. Financial covenants require that KBS maintains a maximum leverage ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of 7:1 at December 31, 2016 and that KBS not incur a net annual post-tax loss in any fiscal year during the term of the Loan Agreement. The occurrence of any event of default under the Loan Agreement may result in KBS’s obligations becoming immediately due and payable.

KBS made an initial draw of approximately $2.6 million against the line of credit on February 23, 2016 and the balance owing under the Loan Agreement was approximately $3.3 million at June 30, 2016. We incurred approximately $230,000 of debt issuance costs in connection with the Loan Agreement. As discussed in Note 2, we present unamortized debt issuance costs as a deduction from the carrying amount of the line of credit balance. As of June 30, 2016, the net carrying value of the line of credit was as follows:

 

Line of credit balance  $3,531 
Unamortized debt issuance costs   (194)
Line of credit balance, net  $3,337 

 

In April 2014, as partial consideration for the purchase of KBS, we issued a $5.5 million promissory note to the primary seller of KBS. We were unable to repay the note on its maturity date, December 1, 2014. In April 2015, we asserted certain indemnification and other claims against the sellers of KBS and on June 26, 2015 we entered into a settlement agreement with the sellers related to such claims. The settlement agreement provided for, among other things, the amendment of the note to reduce its principal amount from $5.5 million to $2.5 million and the forgiveness of all then-accrued interest related to the note. The Company recorded a gain of $3.7 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015 related to the settlement. The amended principal amount is payable in monthly installments of $100,000 on the first business day of each month, which began on July 1, 2015. See Note 12.

 

12. LONG-TERM DEBT

 

Long-term debt consists of the following (in thousands):

 

   June 30, 2016   December 31, 2015 
   (Unaudited)     
         
Promissory note payable to LSVI, issued on April 1, 2014, unsecured, 10% per annum interest payable semi-annually in July and January, with any unpaid principal and interest due on April 1, 2019 (1)  $4,000   $5,000 
           
Promissory notes payable to LSV Co-Invest I, unsecured, 10% per annum interest payable semi-annually in July and January, with any unpaid principal and interest due on April 1, 2019 (2)   4,500    4,500 
           
Promissory note payable, unsecured, payable in monthly installments of $100,000 through July 2017, interest imputed at 9.5% (3)   1,231    1,757 
           
Installment payment agreement, 8.0% per annum interest, payable in monthly installments of $1,199 through September 2020 (4)   51    56 
           
Notes payable, secured by equipment, 6.6% per annum interest, with varying maturity dates through September 2018   3    44 
           
Total long-term debt   9,785    11,357 
Current portion   (1,145)   (1,105)
Noncurrent portion  $8,640   $10,252 

 

  (1) In April 2014, we issued the promissory note to LSVI in the original principal amount of $6.0 million. The proceeds from the note were used to finance a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of KBS. ATRM made principal payments on the note of $1.0 million on each of December 30, 2014 and February 25, 2016. The note is subordinate to obligations under the Loan Agreement.
     
  (2) In 2014, in order to provide additional working capital to ATRM, we issued two promissory notes to LSV Co-Invest I in the amounts of $2.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The notes are subordinate to obligations under the Loan Agreement.
     
  (3) Promissory note payable to the principal seller of KBS. The note does not accrue interest unless it is in default, in which case the annual interest rate would be 10%. The Company has imputed interest at an annual rate of 9.5%.
     
  (4) Agreement to finance the purchase of software license rights and consulting services related to the implementation of enterprise management information system.

 

11
 

 

As of June 30, 2016, LSVI owned 1,067,885 shares of our common stock, or approximately 47.1% of our outstanding shares. Jeffrey E. Eberwein, ATRM’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, is the manager of LSVGP, the general partner of LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I, and sole member of LSVM, the investment manager of LSVI. ATRM’s sale of promissory notes to LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I were approved by a Special Committee of our Board of Directors consisting solely of independent directors.

 

13. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

ATRM uses the fair value method to measure and recognize share-based compensation. We determine the fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. We determine the fair value of restricted stock awards based on the quoted market price of our common stock on the grant date. We recognize the compensation expense for stock options and restricted stock awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the applicable awards.

 

2014 Incentive Plan

 

Our 2014 Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by our Board of Directors on October 9, 2014 and became effective on December 4, 2014 upon approval by shareholders. The 2014 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to provide employees, consultants and members of our Board of Directors the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company through the issuance of various stock-based awards such as stock options and restricted stock. 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized to be issued pursuant to the 2014 Plan.

 

On June 5, 2015, ATRM granted restricted stock awards for a total of 60,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to its directors and chief financial officer. The shares vested one year after the grant date. The fair value of the awards was determined to be $4.48 per share, the closing price of our common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense related to these grants amounted to approximately $48,000 and $115,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and is included in the caption “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. Compensation expense related to these grants amounted to approximately $20,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and is included in the caption “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2016, these shares are fully vested and all compensation expense related to these grants has been fully recognized.

 

2003 Stock Incentive Plan

 

A stock incentive plan approved by our shareholders and adopted in May 2003 (the “2003 Plan”) terminated in February 2013. Stock options granted under the 2003 Plan continue to be exercisable according to their individual terms. The following table summarizes stock option activity under the 2003 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2016:

 

   Number of Shares   Weighted Average Exercise Price   Weighted Average Remaining Contract Term   Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) 
Outstanding, January 1, 2016   27,500   $6.88           
No activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016                  
Outstanding, June 30, 2016   27,500   $6.88    1.0 year   $0 
                     
Exercisable, June 30, 2016   27,500   $6.88    1.0 year   $0 

 

12
 

 

All stock options outstanding at June 30, 2016 are nonqualified options which expire at varying dates through November 2017. The aggregate intrinsic values in the table above are zero because the option exercise prices for all outstanding options exceeded ATRM’s closing stock price on June 30, 2016.

 

14. INCOME TAXES

 

We record the benefit we will derive in future accounting periods from tax losses and credits and deductible temporary differences as “deferred tax assets”. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying value of our net deferred tax assets if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since 2009, we have maintained a valuation allowance to fully reserve our deferred tax assets. We recorded a full valuation allowance in 2009 because we determined there was not sufficient positive evidence regarding our potential for future profits to outweigh the negative evidence of our three-year cumulative loss position at that time. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity.

 

At June 30, 2016, we have recorded a deferred tax liability of $16,500 for the taxable differences related to our indefinite lived intangible assets when calculating our valuation allowance due to the unpredictability of the reversal of these differences.

 

15. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

UTHE Technology Corporation v. Aetrium Incorporated

 

Since December 1993, an action brought by UTHE Technology Corporation (“UTHE”) against ATRM and its then sales manager for Southeast Asia (“Sales Manager”), asserting federal securities claims, a RICO claim, and certain state law claims, had been stayed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. UTHE’s claims were based on its allegations that four former employees of a Singapore company, which UTHE formerly owned, conspired to and did divert business from the subsidiary, and in turn UTHE, and directed that business to themselves and a secret company they had formed, which forced UTHE to sell its subsidiary shares to the former employee defendants at a distressed price. The complaint alleged that ATRM and the Sales Manager participated in the conspiracy carried out by the former employee defendants. In December 1993, the case was dismissed as to the former employee defendants because of a contract requiring UTHE and them to arbitrate their claims in Singapore. The District Court stayed the case against ATRM and the Sales Manager pending the resolution of arbitration in Singapore involving UTHE and three of the former employee defendants, but not involving ATRM or the Sales Manager. ATRM received notice in March 2012 that awards were made in the Singapore arbitration against one or more of the former employee defendants who were parties to the arbitration. In June 2012, UTHE filed a motion to reopen the case against ATRM and the Sales Manager and to lift the stay, which the court granted. On September 13, 2013, the court entered final judgment dismissing all remaining claims UTHE asserted against ATRM in the litigation. On September 23, 2013, UTHE appealed the district court judgment to the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit only as to the dismissal of UTHE’s RICO claim. The appeal was argued in a court hearing on November 19, 2015. On December 11, 2015, the Court of Appeal issued an order reversing the district court’s grant of summary judgment of UTHE’s RICO claim and remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings. On April 20, 2016, the district court stayed the case pending a decision in the Supreme Court case RJR Nabisco, Inc. v. The European Community, No. 15-138. A decision in the RJR Nabisco case was issued on June 20, 2016. On July 14, 2016, ATRM filed a motion for summary judgment in the district court seeking dismissal in light of the RJR Nabisco decision. A hearing is scheduled on the motion for August 18, 2016. If the case is not dismissed on summary judgment, trial is expected to be scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2016. We continue to believe that the claims asserted in this matter do not have any merit and intend to vigorously defend the action. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, the cost associated with such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of a future period.

Avila Plumbing & Heating Contractor, Inc. v. Modular Fun I, Inc. f/k/a KBS Building Systems, Inc. & KBS Builders, Inc. (Maine Superior Court, Oxford County, CV-15-39)

 

Avila Plumbing and Heating Contractor, Inc. (“Contractor”) had alleged that Modular Fun I, Inc., f/k/a KBS Building Systems Inc. & KBS Builders, Inc. (the “KBS Parties”) had failed to pay Contractor $476,477.46 that Contractor had claimed it was entitled to pursuant to contracts between it and the KBS Parties. Contractor had claimed it entered into agreements with the KBS Parties in relation to two separate projects to supply materials and furnish services relating to the design and installation of plumbing and HVAC systems. Contractor had claimed it did the work and furnished the materials contracted for and that the KBS Parties had not paid it pursuant to the contract. KBS had countersued for breach of contract and negligence, claiming that Contractor had failed to properly complete the plumbing and HVAC services it was retained to perform on one of the projects. The general contractor on that project had refused to pay KBS $518,842 that KBS was owed citing significant deficiencies in work performed and materials installed by Contractor as its reason for withholding payment from KBS. KBS had filed a lien in the amount of $518,842 on the property where such project is located and had brought a separate suit against the general contractor and others in Middlesex Superior Court in Massachusetts to enforce its lien and collect the amount owed to KBS on the project. The case was dismissed on April 12, 2016.

 

KBE Building Corporation v. KBS Builders, Inc., and ATRM Holdings, Inc., et. al.

 

At the time of the KBS acquisition in April 2014, KBS purchased receivables for a construction project known as the Nelton Court Housing Project (“Nelton Court”) in Hartford, CT, and also performed certain “punch-list” and warranty work. Modular units for the Nelton Court project were supplied by KBS Building Systems, Inc. (“KBS-BSI”) pursuant to a contract with KBE Building Corporation (“KBE”). KBE has asserted claims against KBS-BSI, KBS and ATRM arising out of alleged delays, and for the repair of certain alleged defects in the modular units supplied to the project. KBE’s claim seeks an un-specified amount of damages. The action is still in the pleadings stage. The action has been transferred to the complex litigation docket of the Hartford Superior Court and remains in the pleadings stage with discovery stayed by the Court until the time of an August 15, 2016 status conference.

 

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

 

On August 12, 2016, the Company, along with LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I, amended the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I promissory notes allowing the Company, at its sole option, to elect to make any interest payment in-kind at an annual rate of 12% (versus the 10% interest rate applied to cash payments) for that period. The Company has elected the PIK Interest option for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 now due on August 31, 2016.

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

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 10-K”). All figures in the following discussion are presented on a consolidated basis. All dollar amounts and percentages presented herein have been rounded to approximate values.

Results of Operations

 

Net Loss. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $2.8 million as compared to net income of approximately $0.9 million for the same period in 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, net loss was approximately $1.1 million as compared to net income of approximately $2.4 million for the same period in 2015. The change from the prior year periods was primarily due to a one-time settlement gain of approximately $3.7 million recognized in the 2015 periods, without a similar gain in the 2016 periods.

 

Net Sales. Net sales were approximately $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $13.6 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in sales of commercial structures and to a lesser extent a decrease in sales of residential homes. Sales of residential homes amounted to approximately $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $8.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to generally lower sales volume in the first half of 2016 and delays in re-opening our Waterford factory. Sales of commercial structures were approximately $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $4.9 million for the same period in 2015. Sales in 2016 included approximately $1.5 million for two multi-tenant buildings that were originally scheduled to be delivered in May 2015. As previously disclosed, the delivery of the modules for this project were delayed due to issues at the customer site and a lawsuit filed by an adjoining land owner, neither of which involved KBS. Otherwise, commercial sales decreased significantly in recent quarters as we worked to close out several commercial projects that we assumed at the time of the KBS acquisition in April 2014 and implemented our strategy to reduce low-margin site work we historically performed on such projects. We have completed the service work related to these “legacy” projects and believe we are now in a position to grow our commercial business with project scopes and terms that are more favorable to KBS than in the past. Sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased to $5.9 million compared with $6.8 million for the same period in 2015 due to a decrease in residential sales due to a slower than anticipated start to the building season as discussed above.

 

15
 

 

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales amounted to approximately $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $13.5 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in 2016 was attributed primarily to lower commercial project sales, partially offset by reduced costs related to legacy projects. Cost of goods sold in both 2016 and 2015 reflected inefficiencies associated with seasonally slower sales activity typically experienced in the first quarter as we retained skilled workers for the upcoming building season. Additionally, for the second quarter of 2016, we incurred additional costs related to bringing our second factory back up to full production level in anticipation of the peak building season. Cost of sales amounted to approximately $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $6.6 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower residential sales during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared with the same period of the prior year.

 

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense was approximately $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Share-based compensation expense amounted to approximately $115,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $20,000 for the same period in 2015. This expense increase was offset by a decrease of approximately $120,000 in amortization expense related to intangible assets. SG&A expense was approximately $1.2 million the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared with $1.1 million for the same period in 2015. The increase of $0.1 million is primarily attributable to higher share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock granted in June 2015.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense was approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with approximately $0.8 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a settlement agreement we negotiated in June 2015 with the primary seller of KBS, which included a reduction in the principal amount of the promissory note owed to such individual partially offset by the increased rate on the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I notes as a result of the PIK Interest election for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense remained unchanged at approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Although the effective interest rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 12% versus the cash interest rate of 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due to the PIK Interest election for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, the overall principal balance was lower by $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015 due to a principal payment made during the first quarter of 2016.

 

Settlement Gain. As noted above, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded a settlement gain of approximately $3.7 million as a result of the settlement agreement with the primary seller of KBS whereby, among other things, the principal amount on the seller’s note was reduced from $5.5 million to $2.5 million and the forgiveness of all then-accrued interest related to the note. There was no similar gain for the same periods of 2016.

 

Income Taxes. Since 2009, we have maintained a valuation allowance to fully reserve our deferred tax assets. We expect to continue to maintain a full valuation allowance until we determine that we can sustain a level of profitability that demonstrates our ability to realize these assets. To the extent we determine that the realization of some or all of these benefits is more likely than not based upon expected future taxable income, a portion or all of the valuation allowance will be reversed. Such a reversal would be recorded as an income tax benefit and, for some portion related to deductions for stock option exercises, an increase in shareholders’ equity. We recorded income tax expense of $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which included deferred income tax expense associated with taxable differences related to our indefinite-lived intangible assets which are omitted from the calculation of our valuation allowance due to the unpredictability of the reversal of these differences.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows used in operating activities was approximately $2.3 million, consisting primarily of our net loss of approximately $2.8 million partially offset by approximately $0.4 million of non-cash depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation expense. Working capital changes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 netted to approximately zero and included a $0.7 million increase in costs and estimated profit in excess of billings and decreases of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million in billings in excess of costs and estimated profit, and other accrued liabilities, respectively, partially offset by decreases of approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million in accounts receivable and inventories, respectively, and increases of approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million in accounts payable and accrued compensation, respectively. The decreases in accounts receivable and inventories were primarily attributable to the lower sales and production activity in the first half of fiscal year 2016 compared to the end of fiscal year 2015. The increase in accounts payable is primarily related to ramping up activities in advance of the building season. The increase in costs and estimated profit in excess of billings resulted primarily from an increase in work in process related to projects scheduled for delivery in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. The decrease in billings in excess of costs and estimated profit reflected primarily the delivery of modules for two multi-tenant buildings in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The decrease in other accrued liabilities is primarily related to decreases in accrued builder sales rebates and accrued severance.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash flows used in operating activities was approximately $2.7 million, consisting primarily of our net loss of approximately $2.8 million (excluding a $3.7 million non-cash settlement gain) and approximately $0.3 million in working capital changes, partially offset by approximately $0.4 million in non-cash depreciation and amortization expense. Working capital changes using cash included an increase of approximately $1.2 million in accounts receivable and decreases of approximately $0.5 million in accounts payable and $0.1 million in other accrued liabilities, partially offset by decreases of approximately $0.7 million in costs and estimated profit in excess of billings and $0.2 million in inventories and increases of approximately $0.4 million in billings in excess of costs and estimated profit and $0.2 million in accrued compensation. The increases in accounts receivable and billings in excess of costs and estimated profit and the decreases in costs and estimated profit in excess of billings and inventories primarily reflected a relatively higher average percentage of completion of KBS commercial projects in progress at June 30, 2015 compared with that at December 31, 2014. The decrease in accounts payable resulted primarily from the timing of payments. The decrease in other accrued liabilities included the settlement of approximately $0.2 million in accrued sales rebates and a decrease of approximately $0.2 million in accrued health insurance expenses, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in accrued interest expense.

 

Cash flows generated by investing activities. Cash flows from investing activities were $0.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 as compared with $0.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of lower royalty payments received related to the transfer of a former product line to a third party in fiscal year 2014. Royalty payments for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were approximately $0.1 million versus $0.9 million for the same period in 2015. In addition to lower sales volume in 2016, the royalty rate was reduced from approximately 14% (on average) to approximately 9.5% (on average) in 2016 per agreement.

 

Cash flows generated by financing activities. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, cash flows generated by financing activities was approximately $1.8 million, which included approximately $3.5 million of net advances under the Loan Agreement, partially offset by the payments of approximately $0.2 million of costs related to our entry into the Loan Agreement and approximately $1.6 million to reduce principal balances of our long-term debt. In the six months ended June 30, 2015, cash flows generated by financing activities was approximately $1.0 million, which consisted primarily of $1.0 million received from the sale of a $1.0 million promissory note to LSVI.

We have incurred significant operating losses in recent years. Beginning in 2013, we implemented several strategic initiatives intended to stabilize the Company and return us to profitability, including the sales of two semiconductor equipment product lines in July 2013 and April 2014, respectively. Also in April 2014, we acquired KBS because we believe there is significant growth opportunity in the modular housing industry and it provides ATRM with the potential to return to profitability. However, there can be no assurance that KBS will generate sufficient revenue in the future to cover our expenses and allow us to achieve profitability, on a consistent basis or at all.

 

As discussed in Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, on February 23, 2016, we entered into a Loan Agreement with Gerber Finance providing KBS with a credit facility with borrowing availability of up to $4.0 million.

 

As of June 30, 2016, we had outstanding debt totaling approximately $13.0 million. Our debt included $3.3 million (net of deferred financing costs) owing under the Loan Agreement and $1.2 million principal amount outstanding under an unsecured promissory note issued to the primary seller of KBS, which amount is payable in monthly installments of $100,000, inclusive of interest, through July 1, 2017. Our debt also included the $4.0 million principal amount of a promissory note issued to LSVI and $4.5 million principal amount of promissory notes issued to LSV Co-Invest I. Interest on the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I notes is payable semi-annually and any unpaid principal and interest is due on April 1, 2019.

 

We received a waiver from LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I with respect to our interest payments under the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I promissory notes due on July 5, 2016, totaling approximately $445,000, permitting us to make these payments at any time on or before August 31, 2016. On August 12, 2016, the Company and LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I amended the LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I promissory notes allowing the Company, at its sole option, to elect to make any interest payment in PIK Interest at an annual rate of 12% (versus the 10% interest rate applied to cash payments) for that period. As of August 12, 2016, the Company has elected the PIK Interest option for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 now due on August 31, 2016. As a result, interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016, totaling $534,000 (calculated at the PIK Interest rate of 12%), includes the incremental interest of approximately $89,000.

 

We intend to pursue new financing at the parent level to replace all or a portion of the debt owing to LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I and to provide for our general working capital needs. There can be no assurance we will be successful in obtaining such new financing, on terms favorable to us or at all. Until such time as we obtain additional financing, we may be dependent on LSVI and LSV Co-Invest I, or other third parties, to provide for our general working capital needs. Although not a binding commitment, LSVM has advised us of its present intention to continue to financially support the Company as we pursue new financing.

There can be no assurance that our cash and cash equivalents, together with funds generated by our operations and any future financings, will be sufficient to satisfy our debt payment obligations. In addition, in order to execute our long-term growth strategy, which may include additional acquisitions, we may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, or other means.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on their evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2016, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Description of Material Weakness

 

KBS, which we acquired in April 2014, represents our primary business activity. Prior to the acquisition, the KBS operations were a privately-owned business with very limited administrative and accounting resources, outdated accounting software and generally weak accounting processes and internal control procedures. Specifically, material weaknesses existed in KBS’s financial reporting processes with respect to (1) control over accounts payable cut-offs, (2) inventory accounting, (3) contract accounting and (4) inadequate segregation of duties in certain accounting processes, including the payroll, cash receipts and disbursements processes and management of user access rights in our accounting system, partly as a result of our limited size and accounting staff.

 

Remediation of Material Weakness

 

We are working to remediate these material weaknesses. Since the April 2014 acquisition of KBS, we hired an accounting professional in July 2014 with relevant experience to assist in the effort to implement improvements at KBS and implemented additional organizational changes in 2015 to strengthen the accounting and other administrative functions at KBS. We have implemented improvements in processes, procedures and controls, including in the areas of payroll processing, contract accounting, proper transaction cutoffs, inventory controls, financial reporting and management oversight. In January 2016, we installed a new management information system at KBS that we believe, when fully implemented, will significantly improve our reporting and controls. During the second quarter of 2016, we continued to implement new procedures with respect to inventory accounting and controls, as well as continued work on the integration of the new management information system. Although significant progress has been made in improving the controls at KBS, additional time is required to fully develop adequate processes, procedures and controls and to determine that such processes and controls are effective. We will continue to work to improve such processes, procedures and controls, and will disclose in future periods the progress we have made in our efforts to remediate these material weaknesses.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

As a result of the control deficiencies at KBS discussed above, we determined that we have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We are working to remediate these material weaknesses as discussed above.

Item1. Legal Proceedings

 

UTHE Technology Corporation v. Aetrium Incorporated

 

Since December 1993, an action brought by UTHE Technology Corporation (“UTHE”) against ATRM and its then sales manager for Southeast Asia (“Sales Manager”), asserting federal securities claims, a RICO claim, and certain state law claims, had been stayed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. UTHE’s claims were based on its allegations that four former employees of a Singapore company, which UTHE formerly owned, conspired to and did divert business from the subsidiary, and in turn UTHE, and directed that business to themselves and a secret company they had formed, which forced UTHE to sell its subsidiary shares to the former employee defendants at a distressed price. The complaint alleged that ATRM and the Sales Manager participated in the conspiracy carried out by the former employee defendants. In December 1993, the case was dismissed as to the former employee defendants because of a contract requiring UTHE and them to arbitrate their claims in Singapore. The District Court stayed the case against ATRM and the Sales Manager pending the resolution of arbitration in Singapore involving UTHE and three of the former employee defendants, but not involving ATRM or the Sales Manager. ATRM received notice in March 2012 that awards were made in the Singapore arbitration against one or more of the former employee defendants who were parties to the arbitration. In June 2012, UTHE filed a motion to reopen the case against ATRM and the Sales Manager and to lift the stay, which the court granted. On September 13, 2013, the court entered final judgment dismissing all remaining claims UTHE asserted against ATRM in the litigation. On September 23, 2013, UTHE appealed the district court judgment to the United States Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit only as to the dismissal of UTHE’s RICO claim. The appeal was argued in a court hearing on November 19, 2015. On December 11, 2015, the Court of Appeal issued an order reversing the district court’s grant of summary judgment of UTHE’s RICO claim and remanded the case back to the district court for further proceedings. On April 20, 2016, the district court stayed the case pending a decision in the Supreme Court case RJR Nabisco, Inc. v. The European Community, No. 15-138. A decision in the RJR Nabisco case was issued on June 20, 2016. On July 14, 2016, ATRM filed a motion for summary judgment in the district court seeking dismissal in light of the RJR Nabisco decision. A hearing is scheduled on the motion for August 18, 2016. If the case is not dismissed on summary judgment, trial is expected to be scheduled in the fourth quarter of 2016. We continue to believe that the claims asserted in this matter do not have any merit and intend to vigorously defend the action. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings, the cost associated with such proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows of a future period.

 

Avila Plumbing & Heating Contractor, Inc. v. Modular Fun I, Inc. f/k/a KBS Building Systems, Inc. & KBS Builders, Inc. (Maine Superior Court, Oxford County, CV-15-39)

 

Avila Plumbing and Heating Contractor, Inc. (“Contractor”) had alleged that Modular Fun I, Inc., f/k/a KBS Building Systems Inc. & KBS Builders, Inc. (the “KBS Parties”) had failed to pay Contractor $476,477.46 that Contractor had claimed it was entitled to pursuant to contracts between it and the KBS Parties. Contractor had claimed it entered into agreements with the KBS Parties in relation to two separate projects to supply materials and furnish services relating to the design and installation of plumbing and HVAC systems. Contractor had claimed it did the work and furnished the materials contracted for and that the KBS Parties had not paid it pursuant to the contract. KBS had countersued for breach of contract and negligence, claiming that Contractor had failed to properly complete the plumbing and HVAC services it was retained to perform on one of the projects. The general contractor on that project had refused to pay KBS $518,842 that KBS was owed citing significant deficiencies in work performed and materials installed by Contractor as its reason for withholding payment from KBS. KBS had filed a lien in the amount of $518,842 on the property where such project is located and had brought a separate suit against the general contractor and others in Middlesex Superior Court in Massachusetts to enforce its lien and collect the amount owed to KBS on the project. The case was dismissed on April 12, 2016.

KBE Building Corporation v. KBS Builders, Inc., and ATRM Holdings, Inc., et. al.

 

At the time of the KBS acquisition in April 2014, KBS purchased receivables for a construction project known as the Nelton Court Housing Project (“Nelton Court”) in Hartford, CT, and also performed certain “punch-list” and warranty work. Modular units for the Nelton Court project were supplied by KBS Building Systems, Inc. (“KBS-BSI”) pursuant to a contract with KBE Building Corporation (“KBE”). KBE has asserted claims against KBS-BSI, KBS and ATRM arising out of alleged delays, and for the repair of certain alleged defects in the modular units supplied to the project. KBE’s claim seeks an un-specified amount of damages. The action is still in the pleadings stage. The action has been transferred to the complex litigation docket of the Hartford Superior Court and remains in the pleadings stage with discovery stayed by the Court until the time of an August 15, 2016 status conference.
