EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

 

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Form 10-Q/A”) of Continental Materials Corporation (the "Company") amends and restates the Form 10-Q of the Company for the period ended June 29, 2019, filed on August 13, 2019 (the “Original Filing”), in its entirety to correct inadvertent errors in certain pro forma information presented in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Specifically, pages 17 and 18 of the Original Filing presented the Company’s pro forma revenue, pre-tax income (loss), and basic and diluted earnings per share assuming acquisition activity in the current quarter had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. In the Original filing, the revenue, pre-tax income (loss), and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three month period ended June 29, 2019 were presented incorrectly in the table presenting pro forma information assuming the acquisition of Inovate had occurred December 31, 2017, as $26,372, $13,107, and $5.58, respectively, and are corrected to be presented in this Form 10-Q/A as $29,101, $(4,675), and $(2.01), respectively. In the original report, the net sales and pre-tax income (loss) for the three month period ended June 29, 2019 were presented incorrectly in the table presenting pro forma information assuming the acquisition of all businesses acquired in the second fiscal quarter of 2019 had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, as $30,700 and $14,380, respectively, and are corrected to be presented in this Form 10-Q/A as $33,249 and $(3,401), respectively.

 

For the convenience of the reader, this Form10-Q/A sets forth the Original Filing, as amended, in its entirety, however, except as specifically noted herein, this Form 10-Q/A does not modify or update the Original Filing. In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we have included new certifications from our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer dated as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A.

 

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Form10-Q/A speaks as of the date of the Original Filing and does not reflect events that may have occurred after the date of the Original Filing or modify or update any disclosures that may have been affected by subsequent events

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 29, 2019

(Unaudited)

 

1.    Basis of Presentation:

 

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2019 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net change in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company. During the quarter ended March 30, 2019 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Transit Mix Concrete Company’s ready-mix business and Daniels sand operation. The assets and liabilities related to these operations are presented as held for sale in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See Note 15. Accordingly, the operations of these businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

 

Revenue Recognition:

Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related amendments, which creates a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than previous revenue guidance. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on its financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. As such, prior period financial statements were not recast and there was no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption.

 

Sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days after invoice is billed to the customer. Sales are reported net of sales tax. Shipping and other transportation costs paid by the Company and rebilled to the buyer are recorded gross (as both sales and cost of sales). The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of products at the time the products are shipped.

 

While the return of products is generally not allowed, some large customers have been granted the right to return a certain amount at the end of the normal selling season for seasonal products. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on current program terms and historical experience. Provisions for estimated returns, discounts, volume rebates and other price adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized and are netted against revenues.

 

The Company is responsible for warranties related to the manufacture of its HVAC products and estimates the future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management estimates. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions as necessary.

 

8

The Company performs installation services for certain projects within its Door segment. Management determined there are two performance obligations related to most of these contracts, the equipment and the installation services. The transaction price for these contracts is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stated stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as each performance obligation is completed. No maintenance or service contracts are offered by the Company.

 

See Note 7 for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

 

Leases 

Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.

 

2.    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method that requires deferred income taxes to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized are based on the tax rates in effect in the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on available positive and negative evidence, it is “more likely than not” (greater than a 50% likelihood) that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted December 22, 2017, elimintated the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) and allows for all existing credit carryforwards to be used to offset regular tax liability for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Additionally, for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, to the extent that the AMT credit carryover exceeds the regular tax liability, 50% of the excess AMT credit is refundable. Any remaining credits will be fully refundable in 2021. For state tax purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for various periods for the states that the Company is required to file in. California Enterprise Zone credits can be used through 2023 while Colorado credits can be carried forward for 7 years. The Company has established a valuation reserve related to a portion of the California Enterprise Zone credit not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.

 

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and state tax authorities. The amounts recorded for income taxes reflect the Company’s tax positions based on research and interpretations of complex laws and regulations. The Company accrues liabilities related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. The Company did not identify any such uncertain tax positions as of June 29, 2019 or December 29, 2018.

 

3.    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

 

 

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2

Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 3

Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk.

9

 

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and was valued as Level 1.

 

Revolving Bank Loan Payable: Fair value is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the Revolving Bank Loan Payable represents a reasonable estimate of the corresponding fair value as the Company’s debt is held at variable interest rates and was valued as Level 2.

 

There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels of any financial instruments in the current quarter.

 

4.    In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new revenue standard created a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than prior revenue guidance. Subsequently, the FASB issued various ASUs to provide further clarification around certain aspects of ASC 606. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policies and practices.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in total cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and did not have a material impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Leases (Topic 840). The new accounting standard was effective for the Company beginning on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) and required the recognition on the balance sheet of right-of-use assets (ROU) and lease liabilities for all long-term leases, including operating leases. The Company elected the optional transition method and adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis with no restatement of prior period amounts. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for most asset categories and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of ROUs of $5,353,000 and liabilities of $5,427,000 related to operating leases, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, as required, the Company reclassified deferred rent liabilities as reductions to lease assets. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. See Note 13.

 

There are no other significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

5.    Historically, operating results of the Company for the first half of the year were not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year due to the seasonality of most of the Company’s products. Management believes the recent disposal and acquisition activity should help smooth the seasonality of the Company’s portfolio and make operating results more consistent.

 

6.    There is no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for the three-month or six-month periods ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments.

 

7.    The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its ready mix concrete and Daniels sand operations in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 15. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company acquired the assets of four operating businesses through three separate transactions. See Note 16 for additional discussion of the acquisitions. In conjunction with these transactions management reviewed its segment reporting structure and determined it was no

10

longer appropriate for the consolidated business going forward. The segment reporting was revised to align with the way the operating businesses are being managed and measured by management after the sale of TMC’s assets and the acquisitions discussed below. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting structure.

 

The Company operates primarily in the Building Products industry group. Within this industry group the Company has identified three reportable segments: the HVAC segment, the Door segment and the Construction Materials segment.

 

The HVAC segment produces and sells a variety of products including wall furnaces, fan coils, evaporative coolers, boiler room equipment and dryer boxes and related accessories from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Williams Furnace Co. (“WFC”) of Colton, California, Phoenix Manufacturing, Inc. (“PMI”) of Phoenix, Arizona, Global Flow Products /American HVAC (“GFP”) of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Inovate Dryer Technologies (“Inovate”) of Jupiter, Florida. Sales of this segment are nationwide although WFC and PMI sales are more concentrated in the southwestern United States. The Door segment sells hollow metal and wood doors, door frames and related hardware, sliding door systems and electronic access and security systems from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries; McKinney Door and Hardware, Inc. (“MDHI”), Fastrac Building Supply (“Fastrac”) and Serenity Sliding Door Systems (“Serenity”), which operate out of facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sales of this segment are concentrated in Colorado, California and the Northwestern United States although door sales are also made throughout the United States. The Construction Materials segment offers aggregates and construction supplies from locations along the Southern Front Range of Colorado operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Castle Aggregates and Castle Rebar & Supply, of Colorado Springs and TMOP Legacy Company (formerly Transit Mix of Pueblo, Inc.) of Pueblo, Colorado (the three companies collectively are referred to as the Castle Companies).

 

In addition to the above reporting segments, an “Unallocated Corporate and Other” classification is used to report the unallocated expenses of the corporate office, which provides treasury, insurance and tax services as well as strategic business planning and general management services. Expenses related to the corporate information technology group are allocated to all locations, including the corporate office. The classification also includes expenses related to a property held by the Company which are not material to the consolidated Company.

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a number of criteria including operating income, return on investment and other strategic objectives. Operating income is determined by deducting operating expenses from all revenues. In computing operating income, none of the following has been added or deducted: unallocated corporate expenses, interest, other income or loss or income taxes.

8.     On September 15, 2016 a Partial Summary Judgment Order was issued regarding the Company’s previously disclosed litigation, Continental Materials Corporation v. Valco, Inc., Civil Action No. 2014-cv-2510, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The suit regards a Fee Sand and Gravel Lease (“Lease”) between the Company as Lessee and Valco, Inc. (“Valco”) as Lessor that calls for the payment of royalties over the life of the Lease on an agreed 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves. In the suit the Company sought declaratory judgment and damages pursuant to the Lease on the grounds that Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons did not exist, and for other relief including return of approximately $1,470,000 in royalty payments made by the Company to Valco in excess of tonnage actually produced (“Prepayments”). Based on information obtained through discovery, the Company alleges, in addition to the abovementioned claims, nondisclosure or concealment by Valco of material facts concerning the existence of Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons, and breach of warranty concerning the same. Valco asserted counterclaims against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory judgment regarding the Company’s refusal to make further royalty payments under the Lease. In the ordinary course of business and absent any breach by

12

Valco, the Company is required to make quarterly royalty payments amounting to not less than $300,000 in a calendar year. In response to Valco’s breaches of contract, the Company stopped making royalty payments at the start of the 2015 calendar year.

 

The Company has asserted partial failure of consideration as an affirmative defense to Valco’s counterclaims to offset the alleged back-due quarterly royalty payments and the amount due on quarterly royalty payments in the future. The Partial Summary Judgment Order resolved many of the Company’s claims in Valco’s favor, but did not resolve Valco’s counterclaims or the Company’s affirmative defense. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a $632,000 write-down representing the portion of the royalty overpayment paid prior to the statutorily allowed period because of litigation risk attendant to recovering that amount. The Company sought certification of the Partial Summary Judgment Order because it and its legal counsel believe the court improperly resolved factual issues in its Partial Summary Judgment Order that should have been decided by a jury. On February 23, 2017, the Partial Summary Judgment Order was certified for immediate appeal, and all other claims, counterclaims and affirmative defenses were stayed pending the resolution of that appeal. The Company filed a notice of appeal which was denied on July 2, 2018 for lack of jurisdiction and remanded to the trial court for further proceedings. Subsequently, the trial court vacated its September 15, 2016 Partial Summary Judgment Order and set the matter for trial by jury on all issues on January 28, 2019. The Company filed its Third Amended Complaint on November 16, 2018 in which it dropped its claim to recover royalty overpayments but continued to seek to recover $1,470,000 in Prepayments. The Company wrote off the remaining royalty overpayment of $627,000, previously reported as Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, as of December 29, 2018 due to filing of the Third Amended Complaint. At the trial preparation conference on January 18, 2019, the court informed the parties that the trial would be rescheduled due to an ongoing shutdown of the federal government. The jury trial on all issues was then rescheduled for May 13, 2019. On April 30, 2019 the court entered an order stating: “Due to a conflict in the Court’s calendar, the trial preparation conference set for May 3, 2019 and the May 13, 2019, trial date are vacated.” On May 30, 2019, the case was reassigned to a different District Court Judge. A trial preparation conference was held on August 8, 2019. The trial has been rescheduled to October 21, 2019.

 

The Company has paid royalties on approximately 17,700,000 tons, including the Prepayments, of the 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves through the end of the third quarter of 2014. The impact of these proceedings could have a material financial effect on the Company; however, the Company does not believe that there is a reasonable basis for estimating the financial impact, if any, of the final outcome of these proceedings and accordingly no accrual or reserve has been recorded in compliance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

9.     The Company issued a total of 21,000 shares to the seven eligible board members effective February 7, 2019 as full payment for their 2019 retainer fee. The Company issued a total of 16,000 shares to the eight eligible board members effective January 16, 2018 as full payment for their 2018 retainer fee. All shares were issued under the 2010 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan and pursuant to private offering exemptions available under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

10.  The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effective November 18, 2011. The Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective March 22, 2019. The Company had previously entered into nine separate amendments to the Credit Agreement. Cumulatively, the amendments were entered into by the Company to, among other things, (i) modify certain of the financial covenants, (ii) adjust the amount of the Revolving Commitment, (iii) terminate the Term Loan Commitment upon the repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon) of the Term Loan, (iv) modify the Borrowing Base calculation to provide for borrowing availability in respect of new Capital Expenditures, (v) decrease the interest rates on the Revolving Loans, (vi) extend the maturity date and (vii) decrease the Letter of Credit fee rate. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or prime rate based option. The Company was not in complicance with the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio as of June 29, 2019. The lender has provided a waiver of the covenant violation for the

13

period ended June 29, 2019. The Company and the lender will work to address terms of the existing loan agreement prior to the end of the third quarter of 2019. 

 

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period.

 

The Credit Agreement as amended provides for the following:

 

·

The Revolving Commitment is $20,000,000.

·

Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new qualifying Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in any fiscal year (excluding the aggregate amount of any Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Line Advance).

·

The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be below 1.06 to 1.0 for each trailing twelve month period measured at the end of each Fiscal Quarter.

·

The maturity date of the credit facility is May 1, 2020.

·

Interest rate pricing for the revolving credit facility is currently LIBOR plus 2.25% or the prime rate.

 

Definitions under the Credit Agreement as amended are as follows:

 

·

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as, for any computation period, the ratio of (a) the sum for such period of (i) EBITDA, as defined, minus (ii) the sum of income taxes paid in cash, the amount expended related to the development of the mining property discussed in Note 12 and all unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) the sum for such period of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement.

·

EBITDA means for any Computation Period (or another time period to the extent expressly provided for in the Credit Agreement) the sum of the following with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries each as determined in accordance with GAAP: (a) Consolidated Net Income, plus (b) federal, state and other income taxes deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (c) Interest Expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (d) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (e) non-recurring fees and costs paid by the Company in respect of the following: (i) fees and due diligence costs associated with the Company’s permitted acquisitions; (ii) legal fees and costs associated with the Valco trial preparation; (iii) executive recruitment fees for the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer; and (iv) additional fees and costs associated with the exploration of the Company’s Hitch Rack Ranch facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado to determine the suitability for mining and the pursuit of mining permits, plus (f) any other non-cash charges and any extraordinary charges deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, including any asset impairment charges (including write downs of goodwill), minus (g) any gains from Asset Dispositions, any extraordinary gains and any gains from discontinued operations included in the determination of Consolidated Net Income.

 

Outstanding funded revolving debt was $300,000 as of June 29, 2019 compared to $2,200,000 as of December 29, 2018. The highest balance outstanding during the first six months of 2019 and 2018 was $2,200,000 and $9,800,000, respectively. Average outstanding funded debt was $407,000 and $5,779,000 for the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. At June 29, 2019, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling

$4,745,000. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the available borrowing capacity exceeded the cash needs of the Company and this situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months. The Company expects to be in compliance with all debt covenants, as amended, throughout the facility’s remaining term.

11.  The Company is involved in litigation matters related to its business. In the Company’s opinion, none of these proceedings, when concluded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition as the Company has established adequate accruals for matters that are probable and estimable. The Company does not accrue estimated future legal costs related to the defense of these matters but rather expenses legal costs as incurred. Additionally, see Note 8 for discussion of the Valco litigation.

 

12.   During July 2015, TMC began development of a granite mining property south of Colorado Springs. Prior to beginning the development process, the Company deposited $2,500,000 in an escrow account per agreement with the land owner. This amount was previously included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The development costs included drilling the property to ascertain its suitability for mining, engineering studies and legal expenses related to the preparation of TMC’s application to obtain the required mining permits from the State of Colorado and El Paso County.

 

TMC made its initial application for a mining permit from the state of Colorado in 2016. TMC filed its second application to the state in November 2017, which was rejected on April 26, 2018. The Company wrote off all capitalized costs associated with the permit application in the first quarter of 2018, a total of $6,934,000.

 

As of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 the $2,500,000 escrow balance mentioned above was included in Other current assets as the Company has begun the process to settle the account and recover the funds.

 

13.   The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019), resulting in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $5,353,000 and operating lease liabilities of $5,427,000. The Company has entered into lease arrangements for office space, manufacturing facilities, water rights and certain equipment. A number of the leases include one or more options to renew the lease terms, purchase the leased property or terminate the lease. The exercise of these options is at the Company’s discretion and is therefore recognized on the balance sheet when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options.

 

Substantially all of the Company’s leases are considered operating leases. Finance leases were not material as of June 29, 2019 or for the three months ended June 29, 2019. The following table displays the undiscounted cash flows related to operating leases as of June 29, 2019, along with a reconciliation to the discounted amount recorded on the June 29, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet (amounts in thousands):

Short-term lease cost represents the Company’s cost with respect to leases with a duration of 12 months or less and are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 operating lease cost was $436,000 and $831,000, respectively, including $120,000 and $209,000 of short-term lease costs. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019 was $299,000 and $619,000, respectively.

 

15

New leases entered into during the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $604,000. At June 29, 2019 the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for operating leases was 5.1 years and 6.1%, respectively.

 

14.

On January 15, 2019, the Company reached an amicable resolution to a business dispute by way of a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company received $15,000,000. The other party and the Company further agreed to set up a joint escrow account to support certain conditions in the agreement. The Company’s contribution to the escrow account was approximately $200,000. The Settlement Agreement does not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the parties.

 

15.   On February 1, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold substantially all of the real property, tangible personal property and executory contracts of TMC’s ready-mix business and the operations of Daniels Sand Company (Daniels) to Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. (the Buyer), a Colorado corporation for $27,129,000. The purchase price was paid to the Company on February 1, 2019 less certain amounts to be held in escrow, as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company parties and the Buyer (Purchase Agreement), to secure the Company’s obligations to pay its working capital adjustment and indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The escrow also retained amounts to be held pending the subdivision of certain real property to be sold to the Buyer at a subsequent date as included in the Purchase Agreement. Combined escrow amounts of $2,049,000 were included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 29, 2019.

 

The Company retained the aggregates operations and retail building materials business of TMC and all related assets and liabilities. These operations include the Pikeview quarry business located in Colorado Springs, the aggregates mining business located in Pueblo, the sand and gravel mining business located in Fremont County, and the retail building materials business at sites located in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

 

In the quarter ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $6,508,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of TMC assets. During the quarter ending June 29, 2019 the working capital adjustment was finalized and resulted in the Company paying a net $1,248,000 to the Buyer. This adjustment, plus an adjustment to transaction fees, reduced the pre-tax gain on the sale to $5,283,000. The operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. General corporate overhead charges were not allocated to discontinued operations. Revenue, expenses and pre-tax income reclassified to discontinued operations were as follows (amounts in thousands):

16.  During the quarter ended June 29, 2019 the Company completed three different Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) transactions, acquiring the assets of four operating businesses.

 

On May 20, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Serenity and Fastrac, both based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, using available cash reserves. Serenity is a proprietary sliding door system providing superior sound attenuation, sold primarily into healthcare markets across the country.  Fastrac is a leading supplier of commercial doors and hardware to healthcare and hospitality customers across the country. Serenity continues to operate as a stand-alone business while Fastrac operations were consolidated with the Company’s existing portfolio company, McKinney Door and Hardware, which has similar operations. The results of the acquisition of Serenity and Fastrac are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Both companies are included in the Door segment for reporting purposes.

 

On June 3, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of American Wheatley HVAC and Global Flow Products (together “GFP”), based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma using available cash reserves. GFP sells American Wheatley HVAC branded products, including a broad line of ASME pressure vessels, custom fabricated products, valves, strainers and other hydronic accessories to commercial HVAC customers. The results of the acquisition of GFP are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. GFP is included in the HVAC segment for reporting purposes.

 

These two transactions are not considered material individually. However, they are considered material in the aggregate. The total purchase price paid for these transactions was $13,019,000, subject to a traditional post-closing working capital adjustment currently estimated to be $586,000, approximately $12,163,000 paid in cash at closing. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of earn out agreements (the “Earn out Agreement”) in amounts of up to $4,300,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired businesses following the closing of the transactions over a period of twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months. Approximately $1,516,000 has been accrued based on estimated fair values of these earn out agreements. We

17

acquired trade receivables of $1,905,000, inventory of $1,468,000, property and equipment of $2,897,000, other assets of $346,000, intangibles of $4,626,000 and goodwill of $3,153,000 and retained liabilities of $1,375,000. The current value assigned to trade receivables represents aniticipated fair market value. These values are management’s preliminary estimates of fair value and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment has not been finalized on either transaction and work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable. Transaction costs, included in Selling and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2019, were $1,059,000 and $1,101,000, respectively.

 

On June 17, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Inovate, a supplier of commercial and residential dryer and HVAC venting systems and components. The total purchase price for the net assets acquired was $11,395,000, subject to a traditional post-closing working capital adjustment, with approximately $11,050,000 paid in cash at closing, using available cash reserves. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of an earn out agreement (the “Earn out Agreement”) in an amount of up to $1,250,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired business following the closing of the transaction over a period of twelve (12) months. Approximately $240,000 has been accrued based on an estimated fair value of this earnout agreement. The results of the acquisition of Inovate are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs of $476,000 are included in Selling and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 29, 2019.

 

In accordance with GAAP, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on management’s preliminary estimates of their fair values and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment has not been finalized on either transaction and work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable.

Total goodwill added to the Consolidated Balance Sheet due to acquisition activity during the second quarter of 2019 was $4,551,000. The goodwill is attributable to the skills and technical talent of the established work force at each of the acquired businesses and synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the individual acquired business operations in to the Company’s exsisting consolidated business portfolio. This amount is attributable to the HVAC and Door segments in the amounts of $2,259,000 and $2,292,000, respectively. The goodwill amounts are not final and are subject to change as additional information is obtained over the coming months. Additionally, goodwill deductible for tax purposes is still being determined. The impact on revenue and earnings of the businesses acquired in the second quarter of 2019 was not material to the consolidated company for the current period.

 

 

 

17.  Identifiable amortizable intangible assets as of June 27, 2019 include trade names, intellectual property and customer related intangibles. These intangibles were all related to acquisition activity in the second quarter 2019 and are still in the process of being finalized. The amounts are subject to change as additional information is obtained over the coming months. See Note 16 for additional discussion. Collectively, these assets were carried at $13,465,000, net of zero accumulated amortization as of June 29, 2019. The pre-tax amortization expense for intangible assets during the quarters ended June 29, 2019 and June 30, 2018 was zero.

 

Based upon the intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet at June 29, 2019, amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be as follows: 2019 – $198,000; 2020 through 2023 – $396,000 each year.

 

 

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

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help investors understand the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and current business environment. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

 

Company Overview

 

The Company has experienced various changes in the first half of 2019 with the sale of substantially all assets of its ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operations in the first quarter of 2019 and the acquisition of four new operating businesses in the second quarter of 2019. In conjunction with this activity, management reviewed its operating and reporting structure and made adjustments to align the structure with how operations will be measured and evaluated going forward. For additional detail of the Company’s operations and operating structure, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Certain products within the Company’s portfolio are seasonal, primarily furnaces and evaporative coolers in the HVAC segment which are sensitive to weather conditions particularly during their respective peak selling seasons. Other products within the HVAC segment, specifically fan-coils and dryer boxes, and Door segment are, to a significant extent, dependent on construction activity. Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the first quarter and typically improved in the second and third quarters reflecting more favorable weather

19

conditions in southern Colorado and the seasonal sales of evaporative coolers. Fourth quarter results could vary based on weather conditions in Colorado as well as in the principal markets for the Company’s heating equipment. The sale of the Company’s ready-mix and Daniels sand operations along with the acquisitions recently competed is expected to reduce the seasonality of the Company’s operations. 

 

Historically, the Company would typically experience operating cash flow deficits during the first half of the year reflecting operating results, the use of sales dating programs (extended payment terms) related to the HVAC segment and payments of the prior year’s accrued incentive bonuses and Company profit-sharing contributions, if any. As a result, the Company’s borrowings against its revolving credit facility tended to peak during the second quarter and then decline over the remainder of the year. In the current year, a legal settlement and the sale of TMC assets in the first quarter provided sufficient cash reserves such that borrowings against the revolving credit facility were significantly less than historical experience. The cash reserves allowed the Company to complete the acquisitions of four operating businesses without taking on additional debt. The divestiture and acquisition activity is expected to smooth cash flow over the course of the fiscal year and result in more consistent levels of borrowings throughout the year.

 

Cash provided by continuing operations was $5,913,000 during the first six months of 2019 compared to $2,977,000 used during the first six months of 2018.  The current year includes a net $14,781,000 cash received from a legal settlement realized earlier in the year. The amount of cash used in investing activities is attributable to the acquisition activity detailed previously. The prior year included $878,000 related to deferred development of a mining property which was written off in the first quarter of 2018. See Note 12 for additional detail. Cash provided by discontinued operations in the first half of 2019 was $294,000 compared to $1,025,000 used in the first half of 2018. Both periods reflect operating results combined with changes in working capital items.

 

During the six months ended June 29, 2019,  investing activities provided  $407,000 of cash compared to $748,000 of cash used in the prior year’s period. The current year period included $23,679,000 of cash proceeds from the sale of TMC assets and cash payments of $23,213,000 to acquire assets of four operating businesses. See Note 15 and Note 16 for additional detail. Capital expenditures by continuing operations during the first six months of 2019 were $448,000 and  $734,000, respectively. Capital expenditures by discontinued operations were $172,000 and $1,414,000 for the first half of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The first half of 2019 included $561,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment in the Construction Materials division. The first half of 2018 included $1,400,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment in discontinued operations.

 

Financing activities during the first six months of 2019 used  $2,021,000 as excess cash was used to pay down the revolving debt. During the first six months of 2018 financing activities provided  $4,500,000 of cash as borrowings were used to finance the increase in working capital. See also the discussion of the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement below.  

 

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, the

Company maintains a Credit Agreement, which, as amended, provides for a Revolving Commitment of $20,000,000. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in any fiscal year (excluding the aggregate amount of any Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Line advance). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a LIBOR or prime rate based option.

 

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 1, 2020.

20

 

The Company’s outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility were $300,000 at June 29, 2019. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the entire revolving credit facility was available to the Company. This situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

As of June 29, 2019 the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended, and expects to be in compliance with all loan covenants for the remaining term of the Credit Agreement. The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months.

 

Results of Continuing Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended June 29, 2019 to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

 

In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.

 

Consolidated sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $25,257,000, a decrease of $300,000, or 1.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2018.  The decrease was primarily due to lower sales in the Construction Materials segment, down 29.0%, as one of the main operating quarries was mined out and moved to complete reclamation. The HVAC segment reported sales down 1.9% over the second quarter of the prior year.  The Door segment reported a  sales increase of 11.6% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of the previous year.

 

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the third quarter of 2018 was 14.7% compared to 23.4% in the same period of 2018 driven primarily by cost increases in the HVAC segment and to a lesser extent in the Door segment.

 

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses were $4,447,000 higher in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018.  The increase between years was primarily due to investments  to stimulate growth of the Company. The current quarter included $1,510,000 in expenses associated with the recent acquisition activity. These costs included transaction fees paid to an investment bank, legal fees, due diligence costs and other professional fees related to the onboarding of the new businesses. Additionally, there have been investments in the HVAC segment, as well as at the Corporate level, in key personnel, sales and marketing enhancements, consulting, research and development and travel. As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 36.0% in the second quarter of 2019 from 18.2% in the second quarter of 2018.

 

The second quarter of 2019 included a $428,000 gain on the sale of equipment in the Construction Materials segment, discussed below.  There were no similar gains on sales of equipment for the second quarter of 2018.

 

The consolidated operating loss for the second quarter of 2019 was $5,419,000 compared to operating income of $1,014,000 in the second quarter of the prior year. The decreased performance is primarily attributable to the HVAC segment and the Corporate office selling and administrative expenses discussed above.  Individual segment performance is discussed further below.

 

Interest income in the second quarter of 2019 was $161,000 compared to $21,000 in the second quarter of 2018. The increase is attributable to interest earned on cash reserves in the current year resulting from the first quarter 2019 legal settlement and sale of TMC assets.

 

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2019 was $102,000 compared to $167,000 in the second quarter of 2018. Interest expense includes interest on outstanding funded debt, finance charges on outstanding letters of credit, the fee on the unused revolving credit line and other recurring fees charged by the lending bank. The decrease from the prior year quarter is attributable to lower average borrowings. Average outstanding funded debt in the second quarter of 2019 was $224,000 compared to $7,765,000 for the second quarter of 2018. At the end of the second

21

quarter of 2019 the outstanding funded debt was $300,000 compared to $8,000,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2018.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate in the second quarter of 2019 was 26.3% compared to a benefit of 25.0% for the second quarter of 2018.

 

As discussed in Note 7, the Company has revised its segment reporting to align with how key management is reviewing and measuring performance of the portfolio companies going forward. The Company operates nine businesses in three reportable segments. The following addresses various aspects of operating performance within each of the reportable segments.

 

 

Results of Discontinued Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended June 29, 2019 to the Quarter Ended June 30, 2018

 

The results of discontinued operations reflect the operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses of TMC. The Company sold the assets of these business units on February 1, 2019. The second quarter 2019 loss realized from discontinued operations included a pre-tax loss on the sale of assets of $1,225,000 resulting from the final working capital adjustment and adjustment to transaction fees. The pre-tax gain from discontinued operations for the first quarter of 2018 was $1,928,000.

In the second quarter of 2019, approximately 51% of sales in the HVAC segment consisted of coolers. Wall furnaces and heaters accounted for 20% while fan coils accounted for 23% of the segment’s sales. Boiler room equipment and dryer vent products made up approximately 6% of 2019 second quarter sales.  In the second quarter of 2018 these shares of total segment sales were 59%, 21%, 20% and 0%, respectively. Overall sales in the HVAC segment in the second quarter of 2019 decreased by $333,000 (1.9%) compared to the same period in 2018.  Fan coil sales have lagged management expectations thus far in 2019, however, the backlog remains strong. Furnace sales were also below prior year levels. Management attributes much of this to the discontinuation of a pre-season discount program that is expected to push certain sales from the current quarter to later in the year. Cooler sales volume decreased approximately 8% from 2018 second quarter levels.  

 

Sales of furnaces and heaters decreased 6.9% in the three months ended June 29, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 28,  2018. Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters were 20.5% lower in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year second quarter. Management believes the elimination of a pre-season discount program reduced current quarter sales, but anticipates these sales will be recognized later in the year. Average sales prices for furnaces and heaters were about 17.1% higher compared to a year ago due to changes in product mix and a price increase realized mid-second quarter 2018.

22

 

Sales of fan coils during the second quarter of 2019 increased 11.3% compared to the second quarter 2018. Typically, approximately 90% of the sales of fan coils are custom-made systems for hotels and other commercial buildings. Fan coil jobs are obtained through a competitive bidding process. Since every bid job is a unique configuration of materials and parts, the Company does not track unit sales or production as such unit volume data would not be useful in managing the business. Management focuses on the contribution margin by job, the current level of sales and the sales backlog in managing the fan coil business. Contribution margin is measured by deducting variable manufacturing costs and variable selling expenses from sales for a particular product line and is used as an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the second quarter of 2019 decreased to 27.2% from 28.9% in the second quarter of 2018.  Reduced production levels contributed to the decrease in contribution margin in the current quarter. Both quarter’s contribution margins were considered within acceptable performance levels. 

 

Sales of evaporative coolers decreased 13.4% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018. Unit sales of evaporative coolers declined 18.5%. Average selling prices increased 8.5% between the second quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to the price increase realized in 2018.

 

Sales of newly acquired business operations are included in the HVAC results from the date of acquisition. These sales contributed approximately $1,200,000 to current quarter results. See Note 16 for further discussion of acquisitions.

 

The HVAC segment’s gross profit ratio for the second quarter of 2019 was 15.2% compared to 18.9% in the second quarter of 2018. The decrease in gross profit ratio is attributable to lower sales and production levels.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2019 were $1,580,000 higher than the second quarter of the previous year. The increase was attributable to investments being made to stimulate future growth. These increased costs included compensation related expenses, sales and marketing related expenses and research and developmental related expenses. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 25.3% in the second quarter of 2019 and 15.8% in the second quarter of 2018.

The Door segment sells hollow metal doors, door frames and related hardware, wood doors, sliding door systems, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems. The Door segment’s sales are primarily for commercial and institutional buildings such as schools and healthcare facilities as well as hospitality buildings.  A majority of the sales of the Door segment are related to jobs obtained through a competitive bidding process. Bid prices may be higher or lower than bid prices on similar jobs in the prior year. As the product components of any one job likely vary significantly from any other job, the Door segment does not track unit sales of the various products through its accounting or management reporting systems. Management focuses on the level of the sales backlog, the trend in sales and the gross profit rate in managing the business.

23

 

Door sales in the second quarter of 2019 were $672,000 (11.6%) higher than in the second quarter of the previous year primarily due to the recent acquisition of Fastrac and Serenity. Bidding prices remain competitive. The gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 26.0% versus 29.2%, respectively, as competitive pricing on certain larger jobs and increased labor costs resulted in lower margins.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $296,000 higher in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 mainly due to the recent acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 15.8% in the second quarter of 2019 from 12.6% in the comparable 2018 quarter.

The ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operational assets of TMC were sold on February 1, 2019. The operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. See Note 15 for further discussion of the transaction. The discontinued operations, together with the continuing operations formerly known as the Concrete, Aggregate and Construction Supply (CACS) segment, were reclassified to the Construction Materials segment for current reporting. The product offerings of continuing operations of the former CACS segment consist of aggregates and construction supplies. Aggregates are produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades, particularly concrete sub-contractors. Revenue of the Construction Materials segment decreased 29.0% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018.

 

The CACS segment produces and sells sand, crushed limestone and gravel (collectively “aggregates”) from deposits in and around Colorado Springs. Sales volume (tons) of aggregates decreased in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the comparable 2018 quarter. This is mainly attributable to the Grisenti pit being fully mined and working to complete reclamation with minimal sales. Sales at the Pikeview quarry were nominal in the second quarter of the current year as the Company prioritized completing the reclamation at Grisenti. The reduced sales volume and additional reclamation related costs at Grisenti lead to the aggregates operations reporting operating income in the second quarter of 2019 just over break-even compared to operating income of approximately $100,000 in the second quarter of 2018. There has been no change in the operating plan at Pikeview.

 

Sales of construction supplies decreased by 22.3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year quarter. The prior year second quarter included shipment of a significant job that was non-recurring. The division reported an operating profit in the second quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2018. The operating profit was lower in the current year quarter due to reduced sales volume.

 

24

Selling and administrative expenses were $355,000 higher in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was attributable primarily to increased legal fees. Litigation fees during the second quarter of 2019 were $447,000 compared to $62,000 incurred during the comparable period of 2018.

 

The second quarter of 2019 included a gain of $428,000 on the sale of equipment. There were no similar gains in the second quarter of 2018.

 

 

Results of Continuing Operations - Comparison of Six Months Ended June 29, 2019 to Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.

 

Consolidated sales in the first six months of 2019 were $47,786,000, a decrease of $1,181,000 or 2.4% compared to the first six months of 2018.  The Door segment reported a sales increase of 6.1%, however, the HVAC and Construction Materials segments reported sales decreases of 3.2% and 17.7%, respectively. Individual segments are discussed below.

 

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the first six months of 2019 was 17.6% compared to 22.4% in the first six months of 2018.  The decrease was mainly due to results of the Construction Materials segment which reported a gross loss of $952,000 in the first half of the current year compared to positive gross profit of $1,091,000in the first half of 2018. The Door and HVAC segments also reported decreases in gross profit in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  The changes are addressed in more detail in the discussion by segment below.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2019 were $6,050,000 (61.5%) higher compared to the same period of the prior year. The primary source of the increase was in the HVAC segment and Unallocated Corporate expenses. The increase is attributable to investments being made to promote future growth of the company. Specifically, in the HVAC segment there have been investments in key personnel, R&D and sales and marketing as WFC and PMI work towards future product design and development.  Additionally, at the Corporate level there have been key personnel investments and transaction expenses related to the second quarter 2019 acquisition activity discussed in the quarter review above. As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 33.3%  in the first six months of 2019 compared to 20.1% in the same period of the prior year.

 

The first six months of 2019 included a $14,780,000 net gain from legal settlement recognized earlier in the year. See Note 14 for additional discussion. The first half of 2018 included the net write-off of $6,840,000 of deferred development costs previously capitalized in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet or incurred in the first half of 2018. See Note 12 to the Quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

 

The consolidated operating loss for the first half of 2019, before the gain from a legal settlement discussed above, was $7,824,000. The consolidated operating profit for the first half of 2018, before the write off of deferred development, was $330,000. All segments contributed to the decrease in performance, see discussion of segment performance below. Additionally, the Corporate expenses discussed above, contributed to the decrease in overall operating profit.

 

Interest income for the first half of 2019 was $310,000 compared to $45,000 for the first half of 2018. The increase was due to interest earned on cash reserves resulting from the legal settlement and the sale of TMC assets.

 

Interest expense for the first six months of 2019 was  $174,000 compared to $275,000 in the first six months of 2018 due to lower average borrowings combined with the fixed nature of certain bank fees and charges. Average

25

outstanding funded debt in the first six months of 2019 was $513,000 compared to $5,779,000 in the first six months of 2018.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate in the first six months of 2019 was 27.5% compared to a benefit of 25.0% for the first six months of 2018.

 

 

Results of Discontinued Operations - Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 29, 2019 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

 

The results of discontinued operations reflect the operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses of TMC. The Company sold the assets of these business units on February 1, 2019. The 2019 income realized from discontinued operations included a pre-tax loss from operations of $724,000 and a pre-tax gain on the sale of assets of $5,283,000. The pre-tax income from discontinued operations for the first half of 2018 was $1,259,000.

In the first six months of 2019, approximately 35% of sales in the HVAC segment consisted of wall furnaces and heaters. Fan coils accounted for 17% of the segment’s sales. Coolers accounted for 44% of the segment’s sales and boiler room equipment, dryer boxes and other products were approximately 4%. In the first six months of 2018 these shares of total segment sales were 33%, 19%,  48% and 0%, respectively. Overall sales in the HVAC segment in the first six months of 2019 decreased by $1,121,000 (3.2%) compared to the same period in 2018 due to lower than anticipated fan coil sales partially offset by additional sales from newly acquired business operations. Sales of furnaces increased by 4.4% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018. Sales of fan coils declined 11.5% between the first six months of 2019 and the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, contribution margin is an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the first six months of 2019 was 26.6% compared to 29.2% in the first six months of 2018. Reduced production levels contributed to the lower contribution margin. Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters were down 4.0% in the first six months of 2019 versus the first six months of 2018 attributable to the discontinued pre-season program discussed in the quarterly results. Average sales price was up 8.8% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the first six months of 2018 due to changes in product mix and the impact of the sales price increase in 2018. Unit sales of evaporative coolers in the first six months of 2019 were 15.9% lower compared to the first six months of 2018. Revenue from evaporative cooler sales in the first six months of 2019 decreased 8.9% compared to the same period in the prior year. Average selling prices per unit increased 9.4% attributable to product mix and the price increase implemented in 2018.  

 

The gross profit ratio for the HVAC segment in the first six months of 2019 was 18.9% compared to 19.8% in the first six months of 2018. The decrease was attributable to reduced production levels. Selling and administrative

26

expenses were $2,435,000 higher in the first six months of 2019 due to investments discussed in the quarterly review. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 24.3% and 16.6% in the first six months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Door sales in the first six months of 2019 increased $618,000 (6.1%) compared to the six months of the previous year primarily due to the recent acquisitions on Fastrac and Serenity. The two new operations, combined, provided over $1,000,000 in additional revenue in the current year. The gross profit ratio declined 1.6% in the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018. The decrease is attributable to increased material costs on certain projects.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the first six months of 2019  increased by $360,000 compared to the first six months of 2018. The addition of two new operating businesses and additional compensation related costs at the existing operations accounted for the increase. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 17.0% in the first six months of 2019 from 14.5% in the first six months of 2018.

The ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operational assets of TMC were sold on February 1, 2019. The operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. See Note 15 for further discussion of the transaction. The discontinued operations, together with the continuing operations formerly known as the Concrete, Aggregate and Construction Supply (CACS) segment, were reclassified to Construction Materials segment for current reporting. The product offerings of continuing operations of the former CACS segment consist of aggregates and construction supplies. Aggregates are

27

produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades, particularly concrete sub-contractors. 

 

In the first six months of 2019 sales in the Construction Materials segment decreased 17.7% compared to the first six months of 2018. The decrease is due to the Company’s Grisenti pit being fully mined and working on completing reclamation versus mining at other locations. Sales of construction supplies decreased 26.2% in the first half of 2019 compared to the first half of 2018. Decreased sales combined with additional reclamation costs at Grisenti contributed to the current year negative gross profit of $952,000 compared to an operating profit of $1,091,000 reported for the first half of 2018.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $237,000 higher in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  The increase was  primarily due to increased legal fees. Litigation fees related to the Pueblo aggregate lease were $432,000 during the six months ended June 29, 2019 compared to $221,000 incurred during the six months ended June 30,  2018. See Note 8 to the Quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

The first half of 2019 included a $14,781,000 net gain from a legal settlement recognized earlier in the year. See Note 14 for additional discussion. The first quarter of 2018 included a $6,934,000 write-off of deferred development costs associated with a mining property for which the Company had applied to the state of Colorado for the required mining permits. Subsequent to March 31, 2018 the permits were denied by the state’s Reclamation Mining and Safety Division. See Note 12 for further discussion.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018 and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies which the Company believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

See Note 4 to the Quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

 

MATERIAL CHANGES TO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Changes in accounting pronouncements as well as the ultimate resolution of the Pueblo lease litigation could also alter projected results.
